[@fabianheinrich2812]

@@Eat-Glass sorry but witcher 3 belonged in this video. the first witcher had great gameplay , the 2nd still decent but the 3rd was just a shitshow in terms of gameplay. the fights even on the hardest difficulty were absolute garbage , because all you needed to do was evade+light attack or heavy attack. that was it . The graphics were a slam dunk and the story was absolutly fantastic. But people often missconstrue the good storytelling with good gameplay. the skill system wasabsolutly garbage. The total opposite would have been dragon age inquisition. Yet that game had some lacking in the story department even though i personally think it is even better then witcher 3, though it never got the same love.

[@abhirupkundu2778]

@@Holidayseason38 Connor was the best character in this game, not gonna lie. Marcus' story is kinda generic...like he gets lost after being dismantled, dumped in an area, and then joins in a revolution against humans. Connor is the most interesting character, with each of his choices leading to an extremely interesting story, ngl. Kara's story was absolutely wonderful almost all the time, with how she became like a mother-figure to Alice, but when Alice turned out to be another generic android model, that's where her story got ruined for me. It's almost like the devs just wanted to fuck around with the story, and just slap anything which would they thought would fit in there, and luckily, Connor and Marcus were NOT ruined because of this.

Visage is also on PS4 and Xbox One if anybody was wondering. It's a damn good horror game, definitely recommend. It's one of best horror games I've played next to Outlast.

Detroit Become Human is the only game I've played that let's you literally change or shape the story based on every single decision you make and for that it's one of my top 10 games of all time.

[@annoschreier1860]

I'd also include Stray in this category. The world building, the atmosphere and the story of this game are all fantastic. But the gameplay is very limited. Exploration is extremely restricted (in a game where you control a cat!), and the puzzle/action sequences feel generic and tacked-on. The clunky controls also don't help. It makes you wonder whether the developers spent all their effort and money on the fascinating city environment, and then noticed "oh, we also have to build a game in it".

[@Ahrimane]

Yeah it’s a shame. I watched my friend play it and though I loved the theme and the graphics I decided not to get the game because it looked boring to play.

[@gvigary1]

I see where you're coming from, but for me Stray had so much charm and heart, I'd forgive it pretty much anything.

[@Lord_Deimos]

I'd argue some of these are great IF you find them on deep sale especially if you like short games. I got The Callisto Protocol, The Order 1886 and Killzone Shadowfall for pocket change and I loved them for that kind of price.

[@Nylak-Otter]

Same with me for Callisto Protocol. I had been watching the bare bones version for awhile, but I almost never buy new games unless it's from a trusted and beloved franchise. But yep, they dropped the digital deluxe version with absolutely all the DLC for less than $20 on me awhile ago right when I ran out of games to replay, and I had to do it. I enjoyed it well enough, but I am very glad I didn't pay full price for it. Very short, and the enemies were insanely repetitive. Nice for meditative game play, though.

[@Norightnowrong1]

Games like Horizon are a good balance for me. Some of the most beautiful graphics I’ve ever seen, but really varied gameplay with a lot of options for combat and traversal, and a great variety of enemies It just needs a more interactive world

The first one was pretty interesting but the story takes a nosedive in the sequel. It just doesn't have any interesting characters or a world I care much about. Also I think the traversal is pretty basic with lots of clearly marked out climbing ledges.

[@BWA85]

Killzone Shadowfall has a special place in my heart for that one section where you crashland on an active battlefield and have to book it to the waiting troops on the other side. Battlfield One did a similar thing in their War Stories mode involving the pilot and No Man's Land.

"Remember Shadow Fall" Third playthrough 3 weeks ago. The thing about Shadow Fall is, it's slow and stealthy and you can't run in guns blazing (opposite to the other games in the series).

[@praisethesun2022]

Thanks for the video

[@daniellambert7889]

Fort Solis belongs on this list. A great looking game with an interesting story that opts for a focus on narrative style gameplay

[@XtianNinjaYT]

I want to congratulate Jake for accomplishing the worlds record for the most uses of the word “gorgeous” in a video!

[@shelbyfanman]

Killzone needs a comeback

[@trevorstockwell8290]

The order felt more like a tech demo and not a game same with godfall

[@tomatoprincess4315]

@gameranx can you make a video about "Games that were elaborated by their music"? i mean music is important in every game, but sometimes it really sticks out. Like Far Cry 3 and Make it Bun Dem or Zelda BTOW when you get out of the cave in the beginning and look over hyrule.

[@trevorstockwell8290]

Yes graphics are good but they mean nothing if you dont have fun gameplay to back up the graphics. Yes you need decent to not bad looking graphics but if the story and gameplay are fun then people can ignore that it doesn't look perfect.

[@asherjohnston9166]

Half life 1 and deus ex 1 are great examples why gameplay is far more important than graphics

[@thechimp6249]

I still don’t understand all the hate the Callisto protocol gets. I actually enjoyed it. Yes dead space is way better but it’s not bad

[@ProjectZephyrOfficial]

Ohhhh Scorn. The most disgustingly unique game I’ve ever played

[@tyleroutland435]

I loved the Quarry

[@ravenstarr30]

Detroit is amazing (I actually hated Heavy Rain), I was more shocked when you said it was their most recent game, that came out how long ago?

[@tyleroutland435]

I was very mixed on the Castillo Protocol

[@syedabid9767]

Dude really loves post apocalyptic "Slimy" graphics.........1:03

[@onmars0058]

Detroit become human is one of my favorite games of all time. Every choice matters, great story, graphics, definitely gets you immersed.

[@zackscotty]

Not true about callisto protocol you get guns after the beginning of the game looks like this dude only played the demo or nothing at all. It is Dead space with different enemies. Its an awesome game.

[@RazorSwitch]

Fun fact about the Killzone: Shadow Fall game, it was actually made in such a way that Guerrilla could experiment (technology wise) with things they were gonna need for making Horizon Zero Dawn. It was in dual development, I am guessing that's part of the reason why the story didn't really stand out that much. I highly recommend people who are fans of Guerrilla Games (like my self) to watch the NoClip Documentary here on KZbin: "The Making of Horizon Zero Dawn" ✌ (they talk about the dual development in KZ:S around minute 18) Ps. great video and I also hope that KZ will make a strong comeback 🤞

[@vladislavohremenco3472]

I really had a lot of hope for callisto, but when i finally tried it out, it felt like the walmart version of Dead Space 2 and that´s when I startet to hate it. Same thing goes for anthem. I feel like they only created anthem to see how people will react to it and then just dropped it like a hot potato. Shame, those two could´ve been great.

[@th3mute]

The gorgeous-ness of the gorgeous bits are definitely gorgeous. These gorgeous games look absolutely gorgoeus. Gorgeous! :D

[@kondratov8269]

You say the visuals hold up now as if the game wasnt just 1 and a half years old (Calisto Protocol)

[@ollitsacnomar]

What game is at 00:16 where the guy does a flip off a cliff and glides off?

[@gutserk7149]

Enshrouded I think

[@ollitsacnomar]

@@gutserk7149 cool, thanks.

[@JohnClam]

I feel like I'm one of the only people who actually LOVED Calysto Protocol

[@paulpardoe7808]

Nah! I totally agree with you! I'm playing it again right after this. You got me into the mood again. Definately improved by the DLC expansion. I wish there was another one. I think it was better than dead space remake

[@JohnMartinez-rl2ou]

Callisto Protocol is a good game, ignore all the hate. Try it yourself. Then decide. If you did and you still didn't like it, that fair.

[@twoseriousdogs6762]

Detroit is one of my favorites. Even moreso than Heavy Rain

[@Guilherme12345678987]

I think if this become a series , there's only one studio that I think wont ever have a mention. Rockstar

[@CentervilleIsStupid]

Great video guys.

[@stevengilliard2023]

Drinking Game Idea: Take a shot every time Jake says gorgeous in this video.

[@ThePolkat]

Visage was insane,you know that dread of being hunted by nemesis when you were young until you learned how to kick his yak every encounter?Visage's visuals enhanced that horrible level of dread i dont feel iv experienced in a long time,we need more 'terrifying' games these days

[@shotbyfabi]

Wish you would have the later stages of Killzone, especially that level that takes place in the sky. That still to this day looks insane.

[@gameranxTV]

Thanks for giving the video a watch! :)

[@justamanofculture12]

As a Game Developer, we differentiate Gameplay and graphics in certain tiers. You don't reinvent the wheel just for the sake of it. I though will always prefer gameplay over graphics. But it depends on the game's genre too...... Gameplay or graphics prioritisation also depends on wheter the game is just a cash grab or a serious long term project..........

[@bplus2625]

Oh Mr. Jake "Glass Is Half-Full" Baldino, you are just...too kind.

[@CurvedSlightly]

Thanks for letting us know the games, big help.

[@cy4n_knight_q8]

The order 1886 was amazing. This game is the definition of an underrated gem who had so much potential
