By Social Media standards, this video is OLD. But by human standards, to me, it's new. And it's fair, insightful, and - dare I say - accurate. I have two recommendations: One, download a mod, I think it's called Combat Rebalance, or just Combat Fix. But not for Starfield. For Morrowind. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that part. Also download Morrowind. And apply the Combat mod. I would also recommend some of the amazing graphics mods. Like grass. Also a mod called Tamriel Rebuilt. Tamriel Rebuilt triples the game area. Adds quests. With that, the lovely graphics, and the fixed combat, you have, at your fingertips, the ultimate TES game. Oh, also reschedule any matrimonial obligations. You won't be available. The second recommendation, and this takes a leap of faith. But one that I sincerely believe is worth the effort. Actually, there is zero risk, because you can abstain at any time. But if you have never done so, download a little, obscure game that few are even aware of, called Minecraft. Stop laughing. No, really. This is a "trust me, bro" situation. But not any version. First, it must be the Java edition. Once you have it, you can select what version you want to install. And this is important: nothing newer than version 1.16.5. Ideally, only 1.16.5. This is after they updated the Nether. But before they completely nerfed the game. And that's important. Despite what you may have heard, it's not a kids game. Play on Normal or Hard, but not Hardcore. There are no instructions. There is no stated goal. Just survive. Imagine being stuck in the wilderness, but instead of hypothermia, bears and infection, there are zombies, skeletons and spiders. Pretty much a one-to-one ratio. Some things you will have to look up. It's cool, everyone does at some point. But if I spent this long just to tell you about it, with no ulterior motive, I can't be all full of sht, right? And I'm not some punk. I graduated high school in 1986. It's not a kids game. I'm more than confident that you will love it. There you go. I'm done proselytizing. Modded Morrowind and Minecraft 1.16.5. Next week we'll get to the "N, O, P" games. If you really, really like them, and I'm sure you will, blame me.

came for Starfield review, got Fallout review

There were moments during the video that we swear you were channeling the spirit of Tim Rogers.

8:36 <chuckle>

Great take on this game. But you should check your audio, it has some interference going on.

I'm a fan of these games, beat ER twice. I've tried several of ds2 and ds3's difficulty/game overhaul mods. But your video can use a lotta work. There's a lot of issues you've not covered properly. 5:43 I gotta completely disagree here. Tedium, bad communication and frustration does not equal difficulty. Main reason people disliked ds2 sotfs. The other games toned it down, but ER jacks it up. 6:30 Doom eternal has an easy mode yet isn't easy because it also has hard mode, challenge runs, master levels, etc. Infact, ds2 sotfs did something similar. Wasn't exactly easy. So why does ER not do this at all? Elden ring has Crap camera, FPS lock, low fov, crap performance, etc. This helps game's experience be worse. Will we learn to deal with it like we deal with bethesda's bugs and lack of technical polish? Even indie titles like distance put fromsoft to shame in this department. Overworld has inconsistent difficulty. You will either be too OP for a boss, or too underpowered for a boss. Most, don't want this. There's solutions for this. 45:30 Fromsoft could've put an arena so you can refight the mainline bosses, made the world smaller, NG+ chanes, give you challenge runs to do, remove the horse or limit it, add a literal hard mode, etc. World could've had WAY more friendly NPC's/enemies, more unique interactions, proper quests, etc. 46:41 Agree, elden ring = Ds3+. So why do we fight BB and sekiro bosses with dark souls speed? Was issue in ds3, even worse in ER. Crap for slow weapons. Making you slower than the spammy main bosses is not difficulty. Doom eternal amped your speed over 2016 to counter faster, more aggressive enemies/bosses. Still a hard game. Community of fromsoft is one of the worst. Actually criticize the game and you'll be hit with bunch of ''git gud's'' and ''deal with it's'' with zero arguments. With community like this why would fromsoft ever really improve? Elden ring is FAR from perfect or ever be considered perfect.

The most frustrating thing about all of this is that they could have made a faithful remake of FF7, but they choose not to. Instead they would rather follow modern trends in story telling (multiverse/time travel) instead of being loyal to the promise they made decades ago.

personally, I feel that you’re wrong about the ending of remake in the sense of they should’ve ended in the flashback well for one. It’s a very underwhelming moment for the gamers because there’s no tension in ending a game in a flashback with a boss fight, because we already know what happened to the main character. also it’s pretty long like as you went through all the things they have to do and all for an exposition dump for a possible logical final Bossfight that has no tension because literally everybody knows what the outcome is and finally to just be an introduction. I feel like this is only in service of a fan because they already know exactly what all this means as opposed to a new player who’s jumping into these games. Also, the evidence that they may have thought of using that as the ending originally is very faulty and very unnecessary too because probably they did think about that and they probably did wrote it down that way first and then someone was like NAH I feel that it doesn’t really work that way. Like again, you’re only real evidence is a line which is not very hard because Final Fantasy is literally the king of referencing itself almost all the time even the most obscure ones that people might not know heck the kingdom heart series constantly references, lines and phrases that other characters say in between games so many times that it kind of hurts

I like the whispers bro. I was 14 when this game came out and have been a hardcore fan since. The original still exists and I feel this is more of a sequel than a 1 to 1 remake . I like it I already know the old story and I’m interested in what the developers have reimagined.

Reminds me of twin peaks part 3, lot of similarities really. That dark Cloud. The way you can't go back. The zeitgeist has changed. Trying to emulate past events always leaves a taste of failure. But the way they dance around the script amplifies and creates new moments that I truly enjoy. Overall I think this will remain, as an epic saga, with those characters we love, up there in the sky.

I think you have finally perfected your voice level and the background music editing.

w channel and hilarious creator. keep going

Remake and rebirth shifts the hierarchy of story from love and loss in the og to a b-rated suspense of timeline and multiverse. It dilutes down the story into a dull puzzle solving dreadfulness. The forcefully added content kills the flavour and they screams for justification, which is sign of bad writing from someone whose taste and ability is lower than the ambition. This leads to a counter argument: is the idea that are wrong or the execution of them is off? Something is off.

Great video! I really liked your mix of passion, intellect and humor here! I agree with most of what you've said about the remake, but I think you're slightly off with your takes on the inclusion of the timeline ghosts and the decision to not have part 1 end at the flashback. I think the point of them isn't a last minute throw in, but rather to show divergence in the timeline. I take it that their intentions for their inclusion was to showcase the developers are going to be making changes, but the original FF7 is still going to be preserved. I think it's more the plans to keep all the versions of FF7 intact and consistent rather than just completely rewriting the legacy of the original. It's not meant to replace, in other words. Is this a good decision? Uhhh, I don't think so! But I don't think it is solely being done to for greedy purposes, and is instead meant to be showing that this is it's own, separate game that's set within the FF7 universe, regardless of how dumb, stupid, and pointless that is. You will still always have and forever cherish the original game, at the very least! With this benefit of the doubt on my part, it's easy to see why I would think they wanted to end where it ended. It's under the impression you already know what FF7 is, have played it, and are familiar with it. It's stretching itself as a kind of sequel, kind of reboot, with the purposd to subvert your expectations as it's own original game instead of what the title reads. Does that make Sephrioh's exposure less impactful for people new coming in? Yes! Because they expect you to play the "first game". Is all of this kind of dumb and convoluted for no reason? Yes! But that's what my impression of what the developers were going for with the game.

I have waited so long

Number Six: A Universe of Menus; is exactly how if experienced Starfield too. One has to ask the Menus for permission to do anything to get to anywhere. Very minimalistic!

My god I love this vid

The algorithm pointed me to your Starfield video but I pointed me to this video and I love your channel so much already. I hope this is the start of a great career. Gonna get to your New Vegas video soon.

Activate Windows, you forgot your window to be activated for air circulation.

I think that most of the people that hate this game are the adrenaline junkies that just want jump scares and point and shoot games.

Great vid. Thanks for the laughs dude. Subbed

One thing to note is that Bethesda's previous titles all coasted off of being the products of the work of others. The Elder Scrolls was a creation of Bethesda's original founders, who built the first game off their DnD campaign setting. Fallout was an IP they bought from Interplay, which itself was originally going to be a game based off the GURPS tabletop rpg system. Starfield meanwhile is the first IP they've created from scratch. And actual worldbuilding requires deep thought and interactivity and cohesion, something the writers - or at least Emil given his disinterest in deep storywriting - are not up to snuff on.

if only Nomura would listen....

Skyrim is a better game...in EVERY way but graphicly....and that is 15 years old....so F*ck Starfield ⚠️ And thank you sir for playing the most boring game ever, to save those who were about to try this FART of a game 🥇🪄👌

While I agree with your starfield evaluation, I must simply object to your take on Event Horizon. You probably just don't understand. ;)

It is widely believed amongst Japan scholars that the melodramatic tears Tetsuya Nomura shed while writing Kingdom Hearts accumulated and caused the Tsunami that wrecked havoc upon Fukushima. There is no direct evidence. Yet.

I can't prove Tetsuya Nomura didn't do 9/11... he must be stopped

I have spent over 200 hours in Fallout 4 and haven't even saved Nick Valentine yet. Edit: Was that a wet floor sign in a pond? Wtf man.

What a banana

Nope

"Failed horror film Event Horizon"??? Wtf....

Ty

Imagine a space exploration game without space exploration. Fuck 2023 is dumb as FUCK

Wanted to say New Vegas isn't a Bethesda game that's why it's superior.

2:25 Dude we get it, you've watched action button and don't have your own sense of humor

all good criticism and a creator willing to blame his computer that couldn't handle it, instead of the company that told you your computer couldn't handle it. 5 star review right here.

To me, Starfield is the biggest “Collection of dev/designer “if-only”s neatly wrapped into a bouqet of marketing flavor texts and cool-sounding numbers”. The game made me feel like waking up at 8 on a spring saturday, and seeing the warm sunshine through the windows not being able to go out and enjoy it because I have to clean the house. There were so many missed shots, so much potential for intrigue, or emotion and then they delivered the gaming equivalent of unseasoned chicken breast, because every bit of design was done by an intern under leads who provided such useful feedback as “will this look good on the steam store page?” “Will this earn us applause and cheers at E3?”. It is very apparent thst noone in the studio cared about anything relating to this game besides Todd “I’m not just a salesman I also lie compulsively” Howard

Activate Windows bro.

That you tried playing this on an HDD.... and you were SURPRISED at the slow loading audio... kek.

... you bought a GPU and CPU based off of what the store page for Starfield told you? No sympathy from me.

"- or get a girl to fall in love with me, I know they all have fast travel-" Uh, chief? I'm not sure where you're going with this but I'm pretty sure it's illegal... Oh we're still talking about games, sorry, my bad...

Thanks for saying all the things ive been thinking but not able to come to terms with. Good time killer, missing a soul.

Man is channeling Tim Rodgers and I am here for it.

Doo people recommend Fallout 4? I picked it up cheap a couple of weeks ago but have been put off pkayong it by some reviews...i liked 3!

I was agreeing and nodding along (especially the toy box bit) with this video up until 26:35. This isn't necessarily true as you can generally open the galaxy map/menu wherever you are and select your destination and fast travel there, avoiding all of the hassle of walking to the spaceport and doing the whole ship launching rigmarole.

Starfield could be good, but I think in adopting the NASA-Punk design theme they kept rabbiting on about they made the game bland. More exotic locations/aliens and personal gear/clothes and starship parts and the game could still surprise. But as it is, it just empty space and loading screens.

Just play star citizen to scratch the space ship itch. Youre used to bugs, you'll be fine

21:31 they got Prothean beacons in Starfield? Lol

I know a Tim Rogers when I hear it.

The best part of bethesda games is the youtube videos.
