Both are great. Balatro is addictive but I feel the game has a lot of luck factor involved to have a successful run. Meanwhile Slay the Spire has more fun card effects which opens up more possibilities of creating the perfect strategy.

Audio is kinda quiet, on skibidi u gotta change the thumbnails i think putting ur face in there isnt a good way to get clicks, and making ur titles more vague could help. For example, on "The Community is WRONG About Storm of Steel (Slay the Spire)", it would be better to say "They were WRONG about THIS..." and also not include the game title. The thumbnail should be less focused on ur face (which is really the standout thing about the thumbnail with the border and all) and more on the card, which should be centered and with background that makes it pop, like big text that says "BROKEN" instead of smaller text off to the side curving around your face. Tbh your biggest problem in terms of getting clicks is the thumbnails. I garuntee you that if you fix the thumbnails and titles your click-through rate will go up massively.
@Ikelogic11 күн бұрын
I truly appreciate this feedback (not sarcastic!) especially about the audio, I think I messed with my settings recently and forgot to change them for this video lol. My idea with including my face in the thumbnails is so people can see my reaction but also so people know they will be getting a facecam within the video, but I also do see what you mean. I may just give it a try to see how it works out. My biggest videos are the video essays, and those don't have my face in them, but the subject of them is also different so I don't know how much I can use those as evidence. I'm still very new to this so I'm working on figuring it out, but thank you! Next video thumbnail may just be different after all.
@CeyCen_11 күн бұрын
@@Ikelogic The thing about the face in the thumbnail is that nobody really cares about if the video has a facecam (at least when they are first clicking on it), and its nice to see your reaction but including the face in the thumbnail is also a large trade-off of space, organisation and emphasis which is really not worth it. Also, your text tends to be too small and out of emphasis. When you make your thumbnail, keep in mind that it'll look really small and will be put besides a lot of other videos.

If there’s some weird shit you don’t understand, it’s a safe bet that it started as a fetish.
This is a really good video, especially for 60 subs! I looked at your other videos and I think your problem is the thumbnails/titles and also that the genre you're doing is oversaturated af so if you're not doing something special or already have a fanbase it takes a lot to gain traction.

1:37 your mistake was asking me to think about it and I agreed until I did, and I decided yah actually I do think the best dlc I’ve ever played (Echoes of the Eye) would deserve Goty. You don’t have to touch the main game at all to play it to completion and its mechanics are all unique and exclusive to the DLC. Its story and gameplay were my favorite of anything released in its year and it was just as long. If it had been nominated for goty I would’ve chosen it without hesitation, it was that separate of an experience in every way. To your credit though, that’s the only DLC I think of that way so if i hadn’t played it I would’ve agreed with you.

Helldivers 2 should've been up there imo, I'm completely addicted to Balatro and see it's merit, but for me Helldivers 2 (and Arrowhead but NOT Sony) hit all of the boxes in exactly the right way and had it's cultural moment, the game feels amazing to play now and it's unique in a lot of the ways it approaches game mechanics, but most importantly, it all works so damn well together
@puregigachad111013 күн бұрын
and sony couldn't keep their grubby little hands off of helldivers, Balatro isn't just the 150 jokers, i'm assuming you've played enough Balatro to know that everything fluidly works with each other, you can make combos with almost EVERYTHING, the possibilities are near endless and you can get scores for numbers you didn't know existed, plus the possibilities of adding even more Jokers, Tarot cards and such is mindblowing, way better and way more potential than whatever sony turned helldivers into.
@Dras712 күн бұрын
Helldivers was a super fun twist on a third person shooter, for games that innovate and grabbed me I would put it up there with balatro. However being a bigger game it's also much more janky in many aspects, progression and mission variety first of all, while I find balatro super refined in all its aspects, I didn't really find any flaw with the game personally.

@yuscilfer142916 күн бұрын
Just say that the reason Balatro could never be better than STS is because of the gameplay, in STS you fight monsters, period. In Balatro, you fight the dealer. It is not exciting if you put one with the other. It is valid the you would feel excited because you prefer something over the other. But to say that Balatro can't be better than STS is outrageous. Because to people, beauty is at the eye of the beholder. Other people may find the opposite of your opinion. Let's use your own words to delve into this; "There are so many working parts and systems in place to make every single climb up the Spire feel different, dozens of cards, relics, potions, tweaks to make difficulties that make each run harder than the last." 1st - There are 4 different class in STS, 5 if you have the Hermit class (Downfall Mod), and these class has atleast 3 to 4 distinct builds. Because of how limiting and repetitive that is, the community already spawned multiple mods for the game. I mean the game is 5 years old already (7 if you add the early access). You could say that, with the amount of modded run that Slay the Spire can achieve almost infinity, but the base game isn't. It is so limiting as to why the community modded it, as long as the community will keep creating mods for it that its potential is endless, unless Slay the Spire 2 comes out. 2nd - In Balatro, there are 15 different decks with pros and cons built to them with infinite possibilities, why? Because your character isn't tied to any class, so your build is only limited of your imagination. In STS, there are rare case that your class can get a card from another class, but because it is so rare for it to happen that you can't make a build for it. Heck even in STS, there are relics that are tied personally to classes, unlike in Balatro, all the Jokers are free of class limitations. 3rd - The different ambient or emotion that we have when we are playing these games isn't the same, when you play Balatro, you want to chill and relax. But if you play STS, you want adventure. 4th - I have to put another game into the mix because I've played that game before STS so, in Indies' Lies, you can sell your consumables to make ends meet if you are short in gold, in STS there is no way for you to sell your consumables and relics. In STS, you can only rest and upgrade in 1 place, in Indies' Lies, there is the Goddess Shrine to heal and remove curse, and a place where you smith your cards punching a hole in them and upgrading with runes. Speaking of upgrading, you can only upgrade your card once in STS except for that Ironclad card that you can upgrade endlessly. In Indies' Lies, you can upgrade cards from 3 up to 5, putting Innate on it, making it 0 cost, taking out the exhaust effect, you modify it however you want. It is the same with Balatro where you tinker a single card multiple times. The mechanic of selling is the SELLING point of Balatro's economy (pun intended), you can buy Jokers and sell them if your gameplay evolve enough that it doesn't require the said Joker, you can sell even consumables. I can't believe that there is still no STS mod that has the mechanics to sell (not that I've known of). Other than that, nice video. You really showed the things that you like about STS.

Well, i'm in the opposing camp. A pixel card game that is low effort to where it only took 1 person to make has to be insanely mind-blowing to become Game of the Year, which it isn't. It's just a good card game. You can't hand awards out of pity. A toddler building his first sandcastle may be the winner of hearts but isn't exactly Neuschwanstein.

@handsomesquidward7328 Read carefully. I didn't state that i don't like the graphics, nor did i say that the game is not good, quiet the opposite. What i said was that it is low effort, which it objectively is. The other games are grand collaborative projects between hundreds of people. There is no comparison. Let Balatro win best indie, but handing out Game of the Year would be kinda disrespectful, because why even take the risk to make a costly game that are much more demanding if we then let a pixel card game that only took 1 person to create have the win. Fun is something that even poorly made games can provide, like Stumble Guys, but that to me isn't enough to be worthy of an award.
