Just bought this for £20 and I know I will get at least £20 worth of fun for it, I am new to this kind of game, I ask how can you please the turn based gamers and the bash n slashers ? a close to impossible thing as there two different games trying to be one.

ff7 and ff7 remake

All these videos say that Astrobot started as the ps5 demo but it’s been around for since 2018 on VR.

the people that made Astro Bot need to make a PlayStation All Star 2 like how the people who made Kirby made Super Smash Bros

Sonic is also better than Mario

Astro bot definitely was my game of the year for sure i loved Astro bot and i just got the new marvel vs capcom fighting collection 😃 and recently got nine sols 🥰

I laid 89c for this and it was great for that price

10 years ago I played a lot of JRPGs. Now I am having a lot of trouble enjoying them. Believe it or not, one big issue I now have is that JRPGs have a very PG and unrealistic combat and combat animations. A massive difference from say, a Wasteland 3, Baldur's Gate 3 or The Witcher 3.

Is your spectral Eagle a scrubs reference? Haha lol

The director, clearly, used a model that has been demonstrated to him by someone whose been making successful games his whole life. Another thing that has appeal and a love for this game is making the player feel like a kid again. I've watched several streams of KZbin creators playing this game, who normally have foul mouths, but playing this, it's like it reverts them back to being a kid again and oddly enough, they're not cursing up a storm. With childhood comes innocence. A being that isn't quite smart enough to fall subject to the environment and culture around them as easily so simple things make them smile. Again, you can have a little kids whose parents are fourth mouthed sailors BUT, the kid automatically knows better and won't talk like that. Born sinners? No, we're products of our environment. My point is, there's nothing political in this game. There's nothing political in Mario, Zelda, Kirby, or even Metroid. It's conservative views. Take Spider-Man, The Last of Us Part II, Naughty Dog's new game, HECK! ANYTHING BY NAUGHTY DOG TODAY and it's all filled with politics and woke views, that angers people. They don't want to be preached too. If they religion they'll go to a church. They want a political lecture they're go sit in that kind of meeting. Gamers want to escape the world that sucks, not be told how someone else wants the gamer to view people like them with an agenda. That's what games are becoming and we're letting developers use the words ITS AN ART FORM or it's EXPRESSION OF MY INNER SELF. We don't care! We want to play a game. You're here to entertain me. You can have a deep story without the politics. That's the problem. Neil Druckmann already has a problem with his own people around him not liking him for his nationality, he doesn't need to make it worse by attacking and villainizing what they see as valuable and important because he as, a minority perhaps, wants to yell and scream for them to confirm to him, it's not gonna work that way in a majority state. We're all put in those kinds of situations in life where tolerance isn't going to prevail. It hasn't for millenia and you won't make it now. You just conform and learn to live in what you have, that's life, that's being an adult. Not throwing a fit tantrum and threatening everyone to see it your way by destroying their community through violence and destruction, that's not how it's ever worked. That's why this game succeeds. It's simple. It's innocence. It's unbiased. It's not political

I played Astro Bot and it definitely doesn't deserve GOTY 2024 despite being good For me and most people Metaphor is the real GOTY

If metaphor was bigger it would’ve been epic

You are a child at heart; so am I; so is the great Shigeru Miyamoto. Never forget the joy with which we entered this physical plane.

Here's a comment for the algorithm

I have the same experience. Glad i bought it discounted, but I wish I hadn't. Movement is clunky. I cant see where im going in hectic situations. Get stuck in som fn rock i dint see, killed and pushed back 20 minutes. Also i didnt like the music, or the lack thereof

I think literally all of your 2024 top 5 are in my top 10 for the year (and all your non-2024 are on my shortlist). Metaphor being the only exception as I am only about 10 hours in so I can't quite put it in the top 10 yet (but I am sure it will end up there). I am really enjoying metaphor so far! One thing I am enjoying over Persona 3 Reload is the flip of how weakness attacks work. Adding an attack to your turn rather than taking away an attack from an enemy turn like in P3R feels like such a more balanced way to handle that system. Can't wait to see how the story turns out. I still want to get to a couple more games before I make my 2024 GOTY video/list. Next up is Indiana Jones, Black Myth Wukong, and Nine Sols if I have the time somehow. Right now my top 3 for 2024 are FF7 Rebirth, Balatro, and Shadow of the Erdtree. I have really enjoyed your videos this year! You talk to your thoughts well and explain what feels good and bad in each game in a way that feels authentic. Good luck in 2025!

Talos Principle 2 is just an insanely amazing game. Every aspect of the original was improved upon in a way most sequels never achieve. Incredible Puzzles, Incredible Narrative, you're left thinking about the puzzle of existence by the end of it.

What is YOUR Game of the Year 2024?

Mega late to this but if you haven't played it already, play Travis Strikes Again. Imo it's one of, if not, the most important game in the series. It's a really good ride throughout the whole thing. The story in it is much better than 3. Travis in 3 felt sorta like...not really Travis if that makes any sense. Especially after playing TSA where he does a lot of self reflecting and introspection. In TSA you really peek into the mind of travis and how he's developed as a character and as a person and it's wonderful. There's a maturity to Travis's personality in TSA that is absent in 3. Feels like he lost a good chunk of braincells going into NMH 3. I can't say 3 is a good game at all. Personally, it's my most hated game in the series. Play TSA, it's got an incredible story. AND it's coop so you can grab a buddy to coop it too sometime lol.

Mortal Shell was a banger. Loved it. Good shout out. People don’t even know about it.

Yep…..other than the name we haven’t had a true “Final Fantasy” for many years. Sony settled PS headquarters in California and the entire PS division has gone to sh!t.

As someone who's really bad at combat games but still loves Zelda games, I loved this one. I almost never used my Link power. For me the most used Echo was the Waterblock to go up quickly 😂 And I was 2 dungeons in when my friend told me the beds could be used to refill my hearts 😅😂 And I realized after few friends told me about their gameplay that yes we do become repetitive with the echoes we personally used but we all played the game differently and had different favourite echoes!

5:52 - Well, there are a few ways to help with that... at least a bit. You mentioned 1, the Idler's Alert, that calls Pikmin not doing anything to the location you used it. There's also the Homesick Signal, which calls _all_ Pikmin, regardless of what they're doing, to your base. Lastly, there's Oatchi. You can always split off from him and treat him like a 2nd Captain. If you level up his Command skill, you can tell him to Come to You/Your Base, similar to the Pikmin, and have both him and yourself automatically go wherever you point to on the map. Level that up again and you can tell Oatchi to just Gather Pikmin for you, then return to your location. (Which, if I recall, updates as you move, rather than being at the exact spot you used it.) It may not be as robust as you were thinking there, but I'm sure more can still be done with that in mind.

Seems like he just crying cuz not Pokémon in this one. He like wahhh it's not exactly the same!!!

My critiques for the game is. Backtracking isn't fun like in 2d games. In metroid prime you are slow and have no dash or shinesparking ability. you also have not quick fast travel options like for example telleporters which resulted in going from one side of the map to the become a huge chore. Most metroidvanias have fast travel because they known that the player can only take so much tedious Backtracking. Great examples of amazing Backtracking is Hollow Knight, in that game you can fast travel on specific points all over the map which results in much faster travel times. It doss not trivialize Backtracking because it only works more like a bus stop and not a taxi so you will have to take the rest of the way on foot. Metroid prime really needed something like that become going from one side of the map to the other is such a miserable experience, especially with constantly respawning enemies all ower the place.

I love the diverse combat of echoes and the ability to aid your summoned creatures with sword, bombs, and bows. I, too, enjoyed the abilities that improved your combat weapons damage and energy duration. The only thing that I can see that is lacking is the length of the game. It ends, too quickly. Even when doing the side quests, the actual length of the game left me feeling that there should have been more temples and dungeons.

FYI games about making YT videos have been a thing for the last decade.

Why would Zelda be different from Link tho? Like, the world of Zelda is on Adventure setting... Why would Zelda being the new protag change the adventure setting?

I am only 3-4 hours in or so but even in that amount of time I'm just spamming the bed echo and I imagine that will be a theme as I go. I am enjoying it though!

I kinda hope they keep the open ended tool box type puzzles for zelda les games and return link to more traditional games like WW and Oot

I liked it , it was different being a summoner vs a swordfighter

I can see people not liking the gameplay style, but saying that Zelda plays exactly like Link here? You are either lying or your stupid.

As a lifelong Zelda fan, wish I liked it more. Using echoes for every situation (and by extension using that awful menu) just pulled me out of the experience everytime I started getting into it. Using echoes for combat is straight up not fun.

Idk i didnt like TOK nor this game, idc that u play as zelda, ik they want to take zelda in a different way, but i just dont like the open world and scribblenauts concept for a zelda game, i like the small amount of arsenal that u get and have to solve puzzles with, thats why i really Loved Botw too, yeah the "dungeons" sucked but that was kind of it, everything else was amazing especially on your first play through. This feels like how assassins creed went a different direction so now we have a split fan group. Its going to happen here too most likely.

I enjoyed my time with the game, but I also found myself with a sense of regret over the fact I'd paid full price for it. It didn't feel worth it. I do see it as a sort of.... 'sign of hope' so to speak. TOTK is my favorite Zelda but I also see the mountain of flaws that it has, and I still believe that it carries BOTW's stigma of "Its not a Zelda game", Since Echoes kinda proved that they can do this open ended approach and still make it feel like Zelda. I do agree that it feels a bit lame that THIS is the 'Play as Zelda' game we got. It really didn't live up to how big of a deal that was for us.

Very surprised by the value being worth. Seems very simplistic. And having a linear selection for all the echos seems super annoying. Although I guess when you're just spamming beds all game its not. Overall: M E H

There's no better feeling than getting a diamond medal on the first try. Even white acknowledges the feat

What's your favorite Zelda game?

It was a great game but more of the same which is good but it felt more like spiderman 1.5

So, when is that video about the DLC coming out?

It's a good game, but it's not better than Elden Ring.

The game does have a double jump? The platforming never gets too demanding anyway. If you didn't position yourself well, you just recover. You can't expect to always succeed whenever you're playing a game. You can also point the camera down when jumping, if it helps. The combat is fine. It's a pretty good 3D take on Metroid combat. You're supposed to be constantly charging your beam and finding opportunities to shoot missiles. The strafing helps you avoid damage. Even with the original tank controls, the targeting system does a lot of the heavy lifting. Combat is never hard, let alone unfair. If you felt you "couldn't do anything about" waves of enemies, then, sincerely that is a skill issue. Honestly I fail to see how this game didn't age well. If anything this remaster proved how well the original game holds up, they barely changed anything! It's not a proper FPS game so comparing it to something like Borderlands or Call of Duty isn't necessary. Metroid Prime is unique, taking an action platformer and turning into a 3D game. It's its own thing. I'm typing this out as I'm watching and--- whoa whoa wait. The controls aren't poor. Get out of here with that. If you don't like them, or you suck at the game, that does not make the controls bad. The tank controls of the original were fine, and the modern dual-stick controls are like butter. They're not poor. I'm not nostalgic for this game whatsoever, I was 19 when I first played it. When they announced the remaster I downloaded it immediately. It's a great game, not because everyone but you is a sheep and is just pretending, no. Because it's good. People like things for a reason.

This game is a bitch with keyboard and mouse as to parry you have an extremely hard time being able to use the mouse to get the directional block and without a better chance of getting stun (green parry) you will suck at it. Captain here once again is using a controller to play this game because he is not getting the (E) key to go into the cutscene to cut off the body part targeted, try it with a mouse and see what I mean. So...ya you can play it on PC but you will never get a fighting chance without using the thumb joy stick to set the direction, I literally have to slide the mouse more than a few inches in the direction of the blow to get a green, doing repeated over head strikes and my mouse has shoved itself up enough to leave the mouse pad. The secondary issue is it takes rolling the middle mouse button to target the limb, only with the mouse for some reason after targeting the right arm (to get the weapon) it automatically shifts to another appendage, and the targeting has to be redone. I count how many times I have had to attack the same guard to get a chest armor piece because the targeting shifted and I didn't cut the "Body" chest piece, if you are not comfortable with playing with a controller, this game will be a Bitch. NICE.

The sequel is good, the Switch version that is not.

4.1k views and only 65 likes? Yikes....

if you like hollow knight i recomend nine sols, amazing game

its basicly pokemon but better

You really hit the nail on the head of how i feel about this game except for the narrative part that's the only part i disagree with i think it works for the type of game like this 😊

We get it, you dont like the game. Listening to you whine for 5 minutes is less enjoyable than the game probably is. Sadly i will never know as you have me so depressed I will toss my Switch away.

daaaaang you just read pac for filth and i am here for it 😂
