Ello ello! This was a pretty fun video to watch. I personally agree with some of the points for criticism of the video. Trying to pivot your deck towards more niche builds or perhaps builds that require specific cards such as a bust build just feels way to difficult to do especially when concise deck manipulation is very rare, excluding fights. It just incentivizes going with what you've got at the start with no opportunity to pivot. I don't think the difficulty for certain builds is intentional, and shouldn't be intentional (excluding maybe like, Signature Decks having a downside to balance their strength early game). Making certain (non-infinite) builds intentionally hard to do just discourages using them, which is just...purely bad for balance and enjoyment purposes.

very honest review, thank you. makes me addicted because of the ‘fishing for souls’ aspect of the game, but the game itself is not very rewarding. one grimoire is 10,000 gold coins, but the reward for buying is 1,000 gold coins, wth even is that?!?! might as well put all my hard earned money into bitcoin at rate so I can get $10 xin return😒 I’ll keep playing cause I love indie games, but the execution of this game is a hard no for me

Dude how can this game be the one that "kills" the studio, when it's their first ever game? Personally I greatly enjoyed it, once you got over some of the MCU style dialogue, it was a pretty well developed world with great supporting characters and a villain while simple, did an excellent job in bringing out the worst in everything around him. Plus the combat was actually pretty fun with decent RPG systems.

DG wasn't without flaws, and it's unfinished state at launch and after it really left a sour taste on many. Add that to the fact that the first half of the game is a slog and Deacon isn't always the best and the hoard stuff doesn't play a part on the game much after, it's understentable why it flopped. I LOVE this game and think it's awesome. But I played much later, when it was all patched and after knowing what I was getting myself into.

@StillSpintheWalkingMan 2 ай бұрын
Wow man, there's a lot to unpack here.. I think that many of "Days Gone"'s flaws lie in its inherently non-linear story and the subsequent tonal whiplash a player can feel, dependent upon the order in which they do or don't do certain missions. This factor, in addition to it's slow-burn style of storytelling certainly led to more than a few moments during my playthrough in which I found the illusion of (story) immersion dispersed. One moment could be spent hunting your dead wife's trail for answers, and the next is spent with an upstart young teenager with PTSD and trust issues. The time spent between such missions as drip-fed through a seemingly (It's a long game, and I haven't the time to explore the intricacies of story triggers) arbitrary set of circumstances can leave a player who is invested in a certain storyline bereft of fulfillment because the next time they'll pick up that particular narrative thread may be 4 hours and 11 different "story" missions later. But to mention ludonarrative dissonance in the context of the Nero missions "humanizing" the freakers is just baffling. Those missions are meant to give context and history and a "cold" scientific evaluation of the freaker infestation and how it's an evolving process. They're world-building. Well crafted, and well thought out world building. Also, I don't see how you could say this game could have been more ambitious or more risk-taking. It is singularly unique. It's more of a narrative driven-immersive sim/rpg lite than anything before or since. The human connections, the emotional through-lines, the themes, the world, the gameplay systems and everything between craft this excellently realized real-world take on a recent zombie apocalypse. I've put in 130 hours and still haven't seen the 100% mark because I enjoy being immersed in the world so much. I played it on a PS4 Pro and noticed extremely few bugs, crashes, or glitches in my time spent in game. Maybe* once or twice did I have to restart a mission due to a companion not behaving correctly, but I struggle to think of a specific example. Also, saying that Deacon's ideological framework of "Man is the real Monster" and the story's gist of how Man help each other even to the detriment of themselves (paraphrasing) are antithetical to each other is a bit reductive given your following evaluation. I think you miss the character development that Deacon goes through. It's all about survival; helping camps, but staying impersonal to them is a means to an end for Deacon and, by extension, Boozer. But, through helping these people, Deacon comes to value, in his own begrudging way, their way of life, even if he disagrees with them. It's like the resuscitation of Humanity, not just in Deacon, but in those he interacts with. I think this is showcased in the final act by who joins/doesn't join the final attack, based upon camp completion. Deacon's selfishness gives way to selflessness through player action. That is powerful, player-driven, OPTIONAL, development of both character and story. Masterful. Your statements about Deacon being "actively criticized in the context of the narrative" (regarding his growth/change) and "political affronts aren't just textures, but excuses for Deacon to disconnect much like he did pre-outbreak" makes no darned sense. What political affronts? The criticisms of villainous characters to discourage him from growing past his old self? The only person that this *might* be applied to is Boozer, but he undergoes his own transformation through the course of the story. A transformation that aligns him with the strength of others through weakness and reliance, but ultimately empowers him to see his inherent value. While not exactly parallel with Deacon's growth, and at sometimes perpendicular, they arrive at the same conclusion. In fact, the characters that matter most are people like Iron Mike, like Rikki or Addi that encourage Deacon to give back and give more despite his own goals. The whole game is about a personal journey to reclaim what was lost in the Days Gone since Deacon lost Sarah.
@RadicallyMisinformed 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for your reply! Agreed on the first point. As for the humanising, I was cautious of overly spoiling experiences people can have themselves but I'm actually talking about a few major points along that investigative line. First: Freaks hold on to sentimental ornaments like jewelry and this is intended to give you a much more human look at what is essentially the animal in front of you. Second: I show this in the video but Deacon is directly critical of the cold, analytical nature of the way NERO study freaks and thinks the way they torture them is morally wrong. Given how this leads into the main ending, there's this disconnect where Deacon is genuinely quite sympathetic to Freakers but the story doesn't explore it more and this feels a little unsatisfying at points, especially considering the ending. The same happens when (spoilers) Sarah gets you to capture a freak little girl to try and cure them. Not too sure what's so baffling about this, given I say most of that in the video itself. Deacon's words and actions clash sometimes and are not fully explored as a result. The game chooses to engage in those topics but I don't believe it commits enough to get at much deeper analysis. For what it's worth, I think it's a game that could justify that analysis and sets itself up decently for it. The political affronts I'm talking about are the politics of each camp. As a "cynical drifter", he has spent much of his life both critical of politics and alienated by it. There's a parallel here I try to enunciate. As for it being less unique, I say why I think this throughout the video. It takes from popular games at the time and, to me, some of the world exploration feels a little stale as a result. I think the same about some of the game's story beats, particularly the ending. I think part of his relationship with Sarah is unsatisfying too as a result. "It's all about survival; helping camps, but staying impersonal to them is a means to an end for Deacon and, by extension, Boozer. But, through helping these people, Deacon comes to value, in his own begrudging way, their way of life, even if he disagrees with them" I make pretty much this argument at points throughout the video just in different words. His relative apathy initially makes way for him to grow into the person he is at the end. I make the argument that he grows past this indifference thanks to the likes of Iron Mike, and the game pays reverence to him as a result. When I say the story is antithetical to the 'humans are the real monsters' storytelling, I'm not saying that humans and monsters can't be evil/good at the same time, or a mix of both. I'm talking directly about the line of reasoning that comes with "humans are the real monsters" in a cultural sense. When people use that phrase, that is fundamentally what they mean, and what they're critical of. People find it hacky, cliche, and unnuanced. As for your take on the way the world explains itself and the immersive sim elements, I think I just disagree with parts of this. I find parts of its exploration unsatisfying and feel many of its collectables are too caught up in being busywork to really commit to a more thorough analysis. I think there's worldbuilding I would like much more out of far less runtime. I like a slow burn but I don't think the pacing here pays off that burn. "The whole game is about a personal journey to reclaim what was lost in the Days Gone since Deacon lost Sarah". I sort of make this argument around grief at the very start of the video so not sure why you think I wouldn't agree. I just think these other elements are part of that growth

I don’t know but the ending was kind of unsatisfying, of course finishing the game you could appreciate how the devs beautifully executed this game, you definitely understand the true meaning behind this game and the message it conveys, but in a story sense it just wasn’t fulfilling, krill goes through all that trouble for his shell just to give it to another hermit who’s homeless which was a noble deed as the narrator said is what makes earth worth fighting for, but still, correct me if I’m wrong but it’s still unclear if krill ever got his answer to what he wants to do, not sure he got his closure
@sebosebo4661 29 күн бұрын
I think the lack of closure is part of the point. Krill now has a righteous sense of anger but is still searching for a home to settle in. In this way, he's a lot like people who feel like that in the real world. I quite like the ending personally

2:03 I feel insane bcs I keep seeing the Half life influence mentioned everywhere, and sure, the visuals and setting are a homage to that series, but I feel like it gives the wrong expectation because the gameplay is not at all like those games. I think calling out System shock 2 instead as an inspiration makes more sense
@RadicallyMisinformed 4 ай бұрын
System Shock 2 is a fair example, though I think that could also set the wrong expectations too! I think I very intentionally move away from saying “this is basically Half Life” and try to move towards “this element is like Half Life” and I think Half Life comparisons go deeper than just the aesthetic too. The way Abiotic handles atmosphere, the structure of its story elements, and even some of its enemy designs feel reminiscent to me (though i was cautious of spoiling too much of the surprise of the game) I think Half Life felt like a grounding point for the way I wanted to tackle the video but I could easily do an entirely different video about System Shock and the games that inspired modern day immersive sims! Looking forward to trying out the enhanced edition of the second game!

I really like the points you brought up! I've been playing since yesterday I'm about 1/3 through. First of, I'm happy to see it I'm not the only one experiencing performance issues! I also had a lot of those lag spikes and was concerned, it might be my PC struggling. I also had an issue once, where the loading screen got stuck and my game wasn't saved. Lost about 2-3h of gameplay :c Other then that, I really like the new mechanics and unique spin, this game introduced. I like, how instead of new weapons provide a change in gameplay in Dark souls, another crabs treasure does this by having these different types of shells, thus armor being the medium. I am also a bit sad, that we can't change our fork, but it's made bearable by the shells and their magic system. Generally, spells being tied to different shells, that can be found anywhere in the world, proved a far more dynamic way of tying magic into the fighting system. A also really enjoy, how blocking and parrying play a much more prominent part in the combat system, which is something I really like (and also had the pleasure to play with in lies of p). Other than gameplay, I can agree with you, that the story and delivery is very comedy heavy, while being taken seriously. I also love all the blatant references to other pieces of media 💀 I'll see if the game can maintain this enjoyment all the way through. But overall, I feel its a really solid indie souls like. It's worthy of the title 'souls like'
