7 Nonsense Ways We Judge Games That Prove We're All Idiots

[@logatt]

For me, it's the old "If I stand near an edge, does one of my feet appear to be standing off the cliff?"

[@Fingers998]

Matt Logue YES!!

[@Yui886]

in Dying light if you stood at the very edge of a building you would float...

[@Logan912]

Matt Logue Crash Bandicoot 2 and Warped (original PS1 versions) have special animations for that.

[@KhashayarJan]

Matt Logue never done that, and it's the first I'm hearing about it.

[@soldancer]

Or, more importantly, is there some form of ledge gravity or invisible wall to keep you from just falling right off.

[@zipiol.]

I shoot walls in FPS games to see if guns leave bullet holes on them

[@jaydengt5637]

Sebastian Zieleniak same!

[@maxgloesener6693]

Same, and for how long they stay!

[@Ag3nt0fCha0s]

I shoot them because I can't shoot for toffee.

[@emre90070]

Yeah, and then if certain surfaces break after enough damage? I think Half-Life's crowbar was the first game that pushed me to always try to break wooden crates.

[@Axertyy]

Me too

[@x-rayofmyhand8875]

For me, it's the sound of footsteps, like when you step on wood would it make a "wood step sound"? or when you step on stone it makes a "stone stepping sound", etc. Am I the only one?

[@nerdgasam6838]

You would love escape from Tarkov then, it has excellent sound design that modifies the sound depending on speed, surface and various other factors. Turning quickly on concreate makes a noise for example. As there's no UI or mini map sound is the most important factor in figuring out were other people are. Sorry to rant also it's PC only atm

[@bagofboom252]

When you're character is moving across multiple different terrains in one long jog. Starts on concrete (concrete sounds) moves to a grassy area (grassy sounds) there's a puddle now (splash splash) back to concrete (more concrete sounds) a wooden floorboard (creaky sound) etc etc.... Having those sounds change over & over are great. And on the rare occasion that you can straddle 2 terrains, one foot in each as you walk/run... THAT'S nice!!!

[@Dr_Bille]

Yea, sound design is insanely important. If the sound isn't top notch, immersion is impossible

[@PlayStationAccess]

Your head looks like it's upside down mate!

[@bluskygames536]

:)

[@hemming87]

Thank you for your irrelevant opinion!

[@ketchupbottle2538]

(:

[@krayt5875]

(:

[@KiomonDuck]

PlayStation Access you guys should make a movie, im sure itd be the great epic of our era.

[@MrMHFS]

Standing on fire to see if it burns

[@Fingers998]

jeff peake if it burns your character mate

[@gfish8]

mhfs lego games aren't good about that.

[@Yorcont]

Making your own fire next to water, to check if you can get burn and getting save by water.

[@rexblaze4]

Pointless in TES5, I tell you.

[@beastvicious8672]

This! Also check if trees or bushes are destruckable, which i still haven't seen yet.

[@jeniverevalearen5844]

Jumping animation Footprints in snow movement in vegetation stairs and if there is a bounce when walking If there is a walk and run animation water subtitles And character customization/ alternate outfits/armor always a plus for me

[@reubensmith1876]

Shooting some glass or a window to see if it shatters or cracks

[@chartreusemire7131]

I'm with you in stairs thing

[@RithSV]

Seeing if you can roll up stairs is what I do.

[@SH19922x]

This guy is a god among men, is it his channel lol?

[@flamecryptid143]

faisal almahmeed same here

[@TailsPrower88]

Oh my god yes, the stairs! Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2 really spoiled me on the dedicated 1:1 stairs animations, I can't live without them anymore!

[@doomsday349]

Stairs are a necessity

[@fancyfansee8245]

For me, it starts before the game begins, when it tells you push (insert button here) to start. I'm always a wee bit perturbed when it tells me to push Start and I push X instead, and the game is like "eh, close enough".

[@krypticavalanch]

damn straight. games hold our hands too much hehe.

[@Nicolai-Syn]

That made me chuckle. Not going to lie. "Alright you damned idiot, hopefully you can get the tutorial right."

[@Chillkrokette_]

Nicolai Syn that just made me laugh so hard 😂😂

[@Skag_Sisyphus]

Why don't they say "push any button then if pressing x is as goot as start? lol I don't understand.

[@jonathancole3149]

None of them.

[@Kalypso_Belador]

I always check to see if a game has subtitles before I play, even though I'm not hearing impaired.

[@teriyakichicken9969]

Kalypso Belador Happened to me in Far Cry 4. I didn't turn the subtitles before starting the game, and I was watching the first cutscene, which is well over 5 minutes. Guess what? You can't pause it to turn the subtitles on! Take that L, non-native speakers. Good job Ubisoft.

[@bigdamo9119]

Same here, before I even start the game the subtitles option is turned on.

[@YuniorGamboa]

Kalypso Belador hahaha tru true

[@jbzhummerh2gamer]

I do this just to make sure I miss nothing that anyone says.

[@kyleeaton2717]

Yeah to turn them off... as well as the music.

[@electricboogaloo11]

I actually cant believe they remastered shoot the cool gun 4, it just proves they can't make any more good games,

[@ALPHARHYTHM0]

Let The Knife Do The Work next they'll release a ridiculously expensive remaster of Super Punchy Mckickface Alpha that'll cause a nuclear meltdown of your Super Nostalgia Engagement System...:(

[@hummuslord6521]

Let The Knife Do The Work Obama has five fingers.... there's 5 letters in Trump... SHOOT THE COOL GUN 5 CONFIRMED EVERYBODY WOOHOO

[@cleanmvp1879]

Let The Knife Do The Work I heard punch-or-shoot-a-guy-and-take-his-money-for-guns-and-cars-5 was getting a remaster along with CRAAAAAAATES AND DISABLED FRUITS.

[@milo0904]

Jamil Saleh shoot the cool gun 7 is out......

[@horrorbookmark1974]

It gets worse; a major movie studio has bought the rights and the movie will be out next year. Starring Adam Sandler as the lead character.

[@ReiSilver]

Not quite the stair thing but: does the character while standing on an uneven surface have one leg up higher than the other like they are really standing or do they clip through the higher bit, or float over the lower bit. A few games started doing this and it spoiled me for it.

[@Haggispk]

ReiSilver my goodness yes!

[@marhawkman303]

The stair bit is particularly weird for me since I don't use stairs "properly" IRL. I tend to go up/down 2 at a time. why? because it's a comfortable stride length for me.

[@l.jturner6617]

In racing games, I always check to make sure the avatar in the car actually shifts gear and honks the horn when I do (they usually don't)

[@stoneyfur]

They change gear nicely in Test drive unlimited In forza horizon if you look through the window it looks like he breaks his arm to change gear

[@BugattiChironLWQuadTurbo]

stoney fur XD, and in 1st person view when he shifts, the paddles dont move a single but and the manual stick doesnt move either, when using the handbrake the character simply puts his hand on it and nothing else

[@stoneyfur]

on far cry 3 when you handbrake both his hands are still on the wheel lol

[@stoneyfur]

He clearly can use telekinesis

[@yunpeiyang4904]

When I see this happening in NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 I was mind blown.

[@anarchylove92]

Do bullets leave a mark on objects/walls and do the magazines and casings stay? I do that a lot

[@nathanhall9345]

For years I used to test a game by how much of my name I could spell in bullet holes before they disappeared.

[@Khelztube]

Also checking to see how many holes the shotgun will leave in a single shot.

[@p4rt_t1me_g0d]

Good points, I have to look at the background, the ambient details, the random AI programming! I need for natural enemies to be a thing, a bear needs to eat fish, an eagle needs to swoop down on rodents, most importantly, certain enemies need to attack each other if I run through their territory! I hate when they all chase me and ignore each other!

[@kc7284]

Boy, I have the game series for you: Monster Hunter. More specifically, Monster Hunter World. It has accurate bloody biospheres!

[@nowing___]

Does the sound of walking change when "the thing" I'm walking on changes? I always loved the sound that makes the character when he's walking on a parquet or metal floor like it does on Metal Gear Solid or the first three Resident Evil

[@edisonmichael6345]

I can totally relate with that since I can still remember to this day how absolutely entranced I was with the changing sounds when walking on diferent surfaces in Thief: The Dark Project, back in the Middle Ages. Or in the 90's, whichever comes closer.

[@talltroll7092]

I think Thief was released around the end of the Cretaceous, just after flowering plants first appeared

[@ShannonRochon]

Hair...how does the hair move...is it realistic? If it defies gravity, does it at least look like it's because a thousand gallons of hair gel were used? Gems...how does the light hit them? Do they realistically reflect/refract the light back or do they just have a moving shadow. I'm a jewelry designers and I've polished my own stones. I notice...lol!

[@ShannonRochon]

jeff peake yup...though they're doing better and better

[@BugattiChironLWQuadTurbo]

jeff peake in Forza Horizon games when you drive a convertible at 100 kph+ the character's hair doesnt move, looks like a rock

[@mateusz1578]

yes, hell, yes. I do that to the point of deciding if a game is worth my time or not. it is not if the hair don't move. i think that is why i hate first person perspective. i want my character to look cool at all times and be able to see it for god's sake.

[@lucacheung8289]

You shouldnt watch anime

[@jdprettynails]

I play a lot of JRPGs, realistic hair isn't a priority for me lol

[@alyssasowell774]

1. Walk through fire to see if I take damage 2. Look in mirrors to see if I have a reflection 3. Go through every single option in the settings menu so I know I'm 100% happy

[@rarestaurora]

Same with me!

[@Danilobcz]

4 Nonsense Ways We Judge Friday Features 4) How relatable is the activity we always catch Rob in the middle of. The more relatable, the more invested we get right at the beginning. 3) When Rob doesn't mention a games made for other consoles. Who in their right mind could ever have guessed that on a PlayStation sponsored channel there would be no mention of the competition? 2) The MGS Tally Board. Sometimes, Rob mentions Metal Gear and it doesn't even go into the board! The travesty! Wake up, Dave! How are we supposed to know how many times Rob actually mentioned MGS if it's not being properly accounted? (The answer: too many, that's how many times he's mentioned it.) 1) Delsin. Just HOW are we supposed to know whether or not it's a good video if it doesn't have a badger puppet? (Bonus points if Rob is violent towards Delsin.)

[@raymond6845]

We need more Delsin! Maybe a weekly audio podcast.......

[@jdprettynails]

5) Whether or not Rob's mum shows up/starts yelling at him.

[@mijic207]

For me its if there is snow dose my character make footprints and how long they stay there.

[@Churi_Venatriss]

Ooh, footprint staying power. It always annoys me when your footprints disappear three seconds after you leave them. What's even the point of putting footprints?

[@dovenfisk9499]

I love staying footprints

[@haunterdragon4580]

Yussss

[@harristrailers3108]

its does not dose!!!!!!

[@blakemarsee4801]

What about when you come out of water, and your character is not wet. Irritating.

[@JargonMadjin]

So you'd hate every game that came before 2014?

[@blakemarsee4801]

I only hold newer games to that kind of standard.

[@jdprettynails]

And I want to see my character leave wet footprints thankyouverymuch!

[@idislikebaguettes6496]

You'd like Red dead redemption

[@lnsflare1]

jdprettynails Be sensible, now. How can they leave footprints if they don't have feet?

[@tayhlaing1013]

I'm really picky about weapon put away animations like do they clip the character, do they actually holster it does it just disappear. Three games that do this perfectly breath of the wild, just cause 3 and skyrim

[@chalkfarm11]

i was looking for this one! I love when games show what weapons you have holstered.

[@eastsid3ridah]

skyrim doesn't do it perfectly there is gaps between some weapons and the characters...

[@banishedpotato2268]

How about how awfully Horizon Zero Dawn did it? I always hated how Aloy's staff just *poofs* whenever she puts it on her back. I loved the game but it was anything but perfect. That was one of the biggest "nopes" for me.

[@Jayme_Roy]

Crysis 1, 2007, has amazing weapon grabbing animations, if I remember correctly.

[@Badenhawk]

Dude, uncharted 4. Sweet, very realistic gun reloads. For example, usually games will free drop an ak-47 mag (side note:they don't free drop in real life), slide another one straight up in the magwell (also wrong as ak is a rock in design), and then make a weird charge motion on the left side of the gun (ak is on the right). But uncharted 4.....Blew me away. He pulls out a fresh mag then uses it to bang the used mag forward out of the mag well, rocks the new mag in, then reaches over to rack a round in. As a gun enthusiast, this gave me a boner to know that naughty dog went in to such details.

[@shdw787]

When you start a game and go to adjust settings in the options and when you get to video and the only thing is brightness adjust, if even that....

[@Zylo82]

for me its...Can I fall off from that ledge? it looks like I ca.....yup i can. dead. restart......can i fall off of that ledge?...yup.

[@jdprettynails]

Zylo82 Does this fire actually burn me? Yes. Yes it does.

[@batu5180]

Does this river inta kill me when i drowned. It is

[@alfredm.hitchcock8189]

I remember trying to jump off a cliff in read dead revolver...that disappointment that I couldn't stuck with me through other games.

[@NuclearCherries]

Reflections are mine. I love good reflections.

[@antimushroom]

I hate it in 1st person games where every single mirror just so happens to be grimy or broken

[@LegitDucks]

Nuclear Cherries watch dogs 1 reflection OH BOY

[@squashyball]

mafia III mirrors, the horror!

[@dragonbeast6934]

Me too, I love them. I think it dates back to when I first played deus ex and the first time i entered Unatco hq. Man it was awesome looking at the reflections on the marble floor.

[@nerdgasam6838]

Nuclear Cherries definitely with you on reflections. But more specifically mirrors! it annoys the hell out of me when you get a game with beautiful crisp hd graphics and then you look in the mirror and its just an obscured grey blur with a bit of a person shape moving about. Most of the games that do this could easily have supported realistic reflections in mirrors but I guess it's to much work and they dont think anyone will care. I care! the newest Hitman game has wonderful fully realised reflections in mirrors btw.

[@benanas09]

I hate cut scenes where my character points a gun that he/she doesn't currently have on their person

[@amirobeidat4561]

Pre rendered cutscenes lol

[@chrisallen9296]

Do not play metal gear solid 5

[@melanieszelong4664]

Cough!! All Mass Effect Games! (which I love). Shepard is like "hmmm, where is my Black Widow?"

[@sofaris576]

When I play Bayonetta and she brings out here Red guns but than when the gameplay part of the fight starts she weields the Katana and Rocket launcher/claws/Ice scats I equipt here with and when the fight is won she is with here red guns again as if she never had put them away. Seriously the fight with Jubeleus fore example. She activates here serous mode with here guns in here hands and after the fight is won she falls exhausted on here knees still with here Red guns despite the fact that she did not use them once in that fight. I get why this is like that but dam It hurts the immersion a bit.

[@seanpearson9030]

I Don't even have a PlayStation, but still have the compelling need to watch every video you post

[@jdprettynails]

sean pearson a lot of these are universal to all games, so even though I don't have most of these games. I still relate

[@anusperfecto4786]

You need a PlayStation, it's better than being alive without a PlayStation.

[@cirojacubowicz7801]

[@Ag3nt0fCha0s]

Same.... I have a PSP but no time to play.

[@emre90070]

Brits are just more charismatic and interesting to listen to...

[@naetoru9838]

Did my character leave any footprints in the snow/mud?

[@diegoestmar559]

Omg totally ! im like rob but with snow and ice instead of water, i like to see if the characters leaves footprints, does the light reflects well? does the ice look real? do i slide? etc

[@djprojugs6606]

Your character with no legs did, yes but Your character with legs did not

[@diegoestmar559]

Also thanks to this video now i feel weird about not having legs , when literally yesterday i did not care XD thanks Rob

[@arturiaarthus8367]

this is soo important to me, almost funny ! also funny: no footprints in bloodborne and dark souls 3, but dark souls 1 has them.

[@knitwit6737]

When the subtitles don't match exactly what the character says!!

[@christiandean7934]

laura Gibbons now that's just a pet peeve. I hate that beyond belief. Though I'm not fond of subtitles period, with the exception of language translation. The only time I accept subtitles is if I watch a foriegn film. (Voice dubs on live action films is another pet peeve) And I am an anime fan, however, if there is an English dub, I will watch that over sub. If there is not an English dub, then I will watch sub. (Subtitles are a touchy subject for me lol)

[@ezrajoseph9792]

just wanted to point out that Pro Evolution Water Polo would be abbreviated as PEWP.

[@nghtwng1572]

PEWP Is So Fun To Say 🤣😊🤣😊

[@sadxsap2268]

On snow areas in games I always check if you can hear the snow crunch when you walk

[@classycthulhu8449]

I do the same thing, except I also always check weather or not you leave footprints in the snow

[@spuddy98]

I always check for footprints.

[@philipd1979]

Jordan Robiller don't forget the foot prints in the snow ❄

[@Andyw00Hall]

Metal gear solid comes to mind

[@7Lee7]

"Huh! Who's footprints are these?!"

[@jeroenbennink]

I look at the crowds in football or racegames. They should look random and not all moving at the same time with the same movement

[@nazare5911]

Jeroen Bennink Sometimes, I find a whole cluster of the same person.

[@stoneyfur]

WWE is the worst at that

[@jimmykeffer7401]

This. It's so hilarious when you score and a randomly scattered group all get up and perform the exact same motion in perfect synchronization

[@x-rayofmyhand8875]

For me it's the footstep sound effects, I find satisfaction when I hear the footsteps in a game, whether it makes them seem badass, or whether the sound matches the shoes or ground sounds you're walking with.

[@blasttyrant3228]

Jay-T Golden what does a badass footstep sound like?

[@RyanxDunn]

Jay-T Golden Crysis 3 had excellent footstep sounds (in the multiplayer too) when you sprinted... You could hear his footsteps along with grenades and ammo attached to your suit jingling around while you ran... I used to just love hearing it when someone else was playing 😂😆 In facts Crysis 3 is one of the most detailed games I've seen in terms of those tiny things other games don't bother to focus on sometimes...

[@christiandean7934]

Jay-T Golden yes! Same here!!! I thought I was alone....

[@manarunigha]

You are not alone on the stair thing

[@CptRumbalot]

every time...

[@SuiCideSt0ne]

[@SharinganKaworu]

I'm not alone

[@lyraschroeder9456]

I have to know if I walk up stairs correctly

[@torchii]

For spoiling the first season of Game of Thrones for the 2 people that haven't seen it.

[@arbikiuszelemelek3347]

Torchii Oh no! I did not know it was a spoiler! I was totally going to watch it!😭

[@clairedonahue8821]

in a FPS, i always check to see if all of the bullet holes stay to see if i can write my name with them

[@quintusbenedictus1970]

In almost any MMO i have to ask the Question "are there cosmetic armor slots?" So I can look good and still have decent stats.

[@jimmykeffer7401]

This is a must.

[@zilchbrain6470]

not only that but can I toggle my helmet to not show when I don't want to. I mean whats the point in making my character's face and hair look good if its covered by a hat or helmet?

[@figureLP09]

YES. YES. YES. You guys GET me. In Dark Souls I had the hardest time to make my character functional yet stylish. And YES, helmets and headgear are banned items from all games for me. I don't waste a full hour on character creation just to cover up my beautiful beautiful creation.

[@jayd7948]

Ew, you actually look for stats and not fashion souls in Dark Souls?

[@randolphbooth]

Weapons clipping through clothes or armour

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

God I hate to say it cause I just love it so very much, but the bandolier in RDR2 cuts through your outfits in cutscene AND it's like it's effing magnetized so it cant come into cantact with your body. ALL THOSE HOURS ROCKSTAR 😢

[@N3n0Rak]

does fps character have a shadow.

[@shindoko]

N3n0Rak COD they do amd i love it

[@nickbricks7187]

Or feet and a body

[@davidartrip85]

I’m guilty of all of these! On the stairs one I remember specifically being amazed by GTA IV when Nico would put one foot up if you were standing near a stair/sidewalk/etc. All of these things may seem stupid but they really do make the world feel more real and meaningful to play around in.

[@straightbusta6912]

Damn. I had the same thing the first time I played GTA IV. I was pretty amazed by how they handled Niko's interaction with the world proprotions, models and stairs. I also liked the same detail with cars as they'd bump up on side walks realistically. Funny though, I started playing Metal Gear Solid V a few days ago and I was kinda impressed with the animations and your character's proper reaction to envirovement. So much that I behaved like a bit of an idiot when I was lying prone on purpose just to see the crawling animations. (Which are great btw. Like, legit.. I don't think I saw a crawling done by motion capture that good yet.)

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

David Artrip I know, but I hate it. I hate the fact that little stupid stuff ruins the game. So I do like it of any of these things are there, stair physics and whatever, but I really could care less if they aren't, y'know? Me personally, I really don't care if it feels real, because it isn't; just as long as it's good.

[@sameergamer4life700]

It does not feel stupid its amazing just lioe you said its feels real and amazing its not stupid your not alone

[@imadubsfan1]

It's funny cause in GTA IV, Niko reacts to standing on top of dead bodies but in GTA 5 your legs just go through them.

[@ThelcarusWing]

Rob you missed one. Does my character get wet once I'm out of the water? And does it also only make the portion of my clothes that was in the water wet or am I just soaked

[@davidamorao3254]

David Tucker He said that in a video already, I forgot which one.

[@FallenOne669]

I think that falls under the water physics entry.

[@stringwhore]

marbletrouble see... Now ur asking too much

[@sarahbriggs4299]

I judge games like this if they don't have a single player campaign its bad I love single player

[@xceryxdemurstra6323]

I feel the same lol not that the game is bad if it doesn't it just helps the game be higher on my favorites list lol

[@jacobdix4756]

Agreed

[@headphonejack4128]

I always check to see if my character has any sort of idle animation for when I just stand there for a few minutes. It just feels more realistic if they start fidgeting or something, instead of just standing still not moving at all. I've done this ever since Super Mario 64, when I realized that Mario would take a nap if you left him alone.

[@LSB001]

Nintendo games are full of awesome little details. Breath of the Wild has so many amazing ones. Most of which the average player will never see.

[@RedRenee4]

Omg, lol. Mario 64 got me started on leaving characters idle just to see if they move and/or say something.

[@epicmarschmallow5049]

If the dead characters you walk through are too extreme on the spectrum from "clip through their now incorporeal bodies" to "annoying ragdolls that will flop up a whole staircase by barely stepping into them".

I'd say Watch Dogs 2 has the best water effects. Seriously look it up!

[@davidamorao3254]

Kakashi2Gaiden the water effects in black flag already blew his mind, trying to imagine how good the water effects are in a game set in the desert lol. (PROBABLY AMAZING)

[@Halo3machenima]

Actually, it should be quite easy to make your character's feet react to stairs. Modern games use Inverse-kinematics for their animation system which allows for physics based movement and procedural animations. In IK the animator needs to set a start point and an end point for bones, the IK solver (the algorithm that handles IK animations) will then determine the shortest and most logical path for those bones to move in. It also takes into account collisions with objects and terrain in order to prevent clipping with other meshes.

[@joshnorris6238]

When at the title screen, if it says to press a specific button to start the game and any button works, I lose a little respect for the game.

[@LegitDucks]

OMG Yes!

Rob probably just doesn't realize he is his own main character, or if he does, then he knows that the guards are just way too op in this game for him to go around do overtly evil things right now.

[@animelytical8354]

He pacifies the desire to kill with gameplay. There needs to be a study on that

[@lynackhilou4865]

1lb2rt4t4rr2s or someone who plays skyrim too much

[@Halo3machenima]

I just now realized: When you said "pro evolution water polo" it conveniently spells out PEWP (poop) when abbreviated.

[@KeyloKritcal]

One thing I hate that some games does is make things like furniture and other objects disappear when I knock them over or break them.

[@djprojugs6606]

Some older games when i was bored i used to make my character walk slow enough up the stairs that i could time it just right so they were actually stepping up each one

[@AlephSharp]

Stealth. If there is an option to stealth, I always check what does and doesn't affect how stealthy you are; "Horizon, rain makes you more stealthy, as does night and other things, while loud actions and splashing around in water make you less, good! 7 Points for you. Shadow of Mordor, I noticed you give extra stealth level when the enemy is distracted, 2 points! Same to you Arkham series. Oh Bethesda RPGs, it doesn't matter whether I'm crouching right in front of someone or 30 feet behind them in the rain at night, -10 points."

[@wyldwoodsvideos3591]

Yeah to be fair, I suffer major disappointment when the bodies disappear, the satisfaction of the kill isn't there :(

[@aleksinuutila2315]

SkyOut Or kill hollows in DS1 and kick their bodies around. The greatest fun!

[@milo0904]

Aleksi Nuutila the only part of dark souls where I actually smile

[@wuzzems2850]

Oh HITMAN, how I love you for leaving the bodies.

[@awsafsakif8028]

Does your character's appearance change when you equip new weapons/armor

[@artfulscruff]

And is that change shown in cutscenes?

[@arbikiuszelemelek3347]

Oh yes. I am so dissapointed when I have a cool armour on and it does not show it

[@aSinisterKiid]

This entire episode is freaking brilliantly hilarious!!! Every bit of self-loathing and self-deprecation is spot on!!!!!!

[@hexu90]

I judge action/survival games based on the factbif opening inventory pauses the game. It breaks the immersion if I'm fighting a monster and it stops to wait for me to eat 200 potatoes and switch weapons based on it's weaknesses

[@agustinramires1998]

*cof* Skyrim *cof*

[@LatterDayPup]

I got one saying a game is only for kids because it may have a cartoony yet beautiful art style,yeah because adults aren't allowed to like anything that doesn't have brown and grey colors,and constant blood and gore. Smh

[@mickeyodunikan1712]

That would be a great friday feature. "7 games that seem like they are for kids but aren't".

[@pelipoika88]

Mickey Odunikan hell yeah. Rob! Get to it!

[@MariaIsabel_Fufuria]

Omg Rob, that bit about the stairs and boot sound effects on different surfaces...and yes...water physics... Gave me so much joy hearing about it. I absolutely love video game water (no matter what the graphical quality really)

[@MrMendeezy]

Yeah the stairs thing is pretty big for me too. Especially when GTA 4 came out and had the ragdoll physics where you not only connect with stairs but will (very realistically) fall down if you try running like a drunken fool

[@joewoodfilm]

I remember Uncharted 4 having some frickin awesome walking-up-stairs-graphics

[@shannax7834]

NothLord lol

[@Bmanhp]

Water, yes, stairs yes, disappearing bodies, yes, legs in first person, yep

[@thomaswijnands7213]

I'm happy I saw season 1 episode 9 of Game of Thrones a few hours ago...

[@jacobhuss16]

I saw it last night so thankful for my life

[@jeremyk7210]

I'm going to start binge watching Westworld since GoT is in off season for two years.

[@erkki542]

did i misunderstand or do you think GoT is on a break for 2 years? the final season comes next summer.

[@ailidh-Bcn]

no it doesn't Mr white the final season is expected by 2019

[@erkki542]

yeah youre right... just read this on the wiki "The season is expected to premiere in late 2018/early 2019. "

[@barcode5107]

Rob with his water physics again

[@benl8962]

Bar code its the single most important thing in a game

[@mannansoni2862]

Until dawn has the best stair physics

[@harrismcgregor2001]

What about "does fire hurt you"

[@ary8956]

I always put my character near a wall and check if his sword or gun goes throw it or not!

[@gloomreach4325]

Persian boy That kind of goes to show the quality of the design team IMO.

[@josiahtempleton9143]

Play dragons dogma,. If you get wet your drenched and your lantern doesn't work until it dries

[@CorvusCorone68]

+Josiah Templeton plus it functions as a possible debuff if you get hit with ice or lightning, or a buff if hit with fire

[@kpag3030]

Your internet troll guy in the beginning is fantastic. More of that please

[@BlestNekun]

I also liked if you tried to roll down the stairs in MGS2 you'd flop and hurt yourself.

[@milo0904]

BlestNekun that was really nice

[@Darek_B52]

Are there invisible walls on ledges (especially on ones near stairs) or seeing if my character can jump if it's an RPG/JRPG

[@user_2793]

About Pogba - "From 3 haircuts ago" 😂😂😂

[@HDmexsComboCon]

What about running in circles as fast as you can to see if there is an actual animation for such small circle running or your character just stands there while you spin hardcore?

[@FarikoWishless]

HDmex's Instant Replay yup

[@emme9532]

do bullets leave holes.

[@BTBSOUNDS]

Does the blood from dead characters spill realistically. What i mean is like when you slice a person with a sword, does the blood spray in that perfect line along the floor or on the walls.

[@jdprettynails]

Ahan Bhalla Even better....does the blood actually stain my clothes/weapon?

[@oltkrasniqi6087]

The stairs and the physics of walking up them are really good in Gta 5

[@damnumonkeyballs]

I'm all about how realistically they hold stuff. like a ball and how their hands don't feel like or look like they are actually holding something lol

[@delvovic]

Rob you're not alone on that last one, I always like walking up slants to see if the character's legs adjust to the heightened steps, and if it does I like having them stand there with that one raised leg with bended knee and take a while to admire the effect from all angles

[@vicrosa5040]

OMG I do that with the stairs to. And I always hate the game for not having the stair animation 😂😂😂

[@joelmanu9780]

I get hard when I find a game that allows me to fully customise my controls on console.

[@JamesDC42]

I always do the stair thing but I go a lot further. I check that their walking/running is perfect. I've played games where the character is doing more sliding rather than running if you look closly.

[@Raven_Frame]

Often times I'll put a character's foot on one step and the other foot on a different step. And I'll look to see whether both feet are connecting or if one is floating.

[@widgetfilms]

I always get disappointed when I find out that something I thought was 3d turned out to be just a texture. Looking at you Solitude gates.

[@rjwasser8312]

Dude... you guys are so freakin' affable. Literally the only crew of people I legit look forward to watching on youtube anymore. Keep up the good work y'all. Seriously.

[@goalie5733]

Toilet flushes. And I'd rather it not flush at all than have animation but no sound or vice versa. Since Duke 3D came out I check every. Damned. One. You'd be surprised how many games only do half right then get lazy. Maybe not. But I'm still waiting for my first patch notes that indicated plumbing repairs after I point them out to devs!!

[@jinkisaragi874]

Goalie We need to write a pedition!!

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

Kingdom hearts 3 looks like it has beautiful water physics. We saw it in the tangled world.

[@TsakaneMaluleke]

NAcHO1713 the grass in the world is BEAUTIFUL! It moves around when Sora casts aero and you can see blades flying around when he slides down a cliff. LOVELY!

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

Tsakane Maluleke and the game isn't even out yet. It should be even more amazing when it comes out.

[@FullmetalHunta]

But what about that stair traversal physics

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

NAcHO1713 Hopefully, it will be.

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

Jordan Sims not sure but roof traversal physics look great.

[@jaredcrabb]

Actually, in the elder scrolls, corpses do disappear, they just take forever to do so. Except the last one, I dont judge games by these criteria. How I usually judge them is, "Is it an FPS? Dont like it. RPG? Ill try it."

[@arthbanka7960]

Today a lot of people including me must have found out that they are not crazy

[@rj_ay8172]

Or that we _are_ crazy..

[@MsWatismyname]

I can confirm that we are, indeed, crazy.

[@andreasgrohs5387]

But now we know that we are not alone in our crazyness

[@Darkside_C7]

Haha spot on. I do every one of these things. How about seeing if the clouds / time of day are pre rendered or actually dynamic.

[@freakyfro99]

I check the stairs too! It's not something that I judge a game for not doing properly but when they do it right something about it is just so satisfying XD

[@matheusmeneguette6510]

Ragdolls. Always check for ragdolls and kick them everywhere possible. Darksouls galore, FEAR is pure fun, I just need it!

[@Espenino]

jimmy spoiler! fantastic character!

[@jdprettynails]

My weird thing is "Does the sound of my footsteps change depending on whether I'm walking on stone, wood or grass?" I'm playing through the Assassin's Creed series and I can't help but smile when I hear horses' hooves clip clop differently on various surfaces and at different speeds!

[@ManuelKoegler]

Jimmy Spoiler's alive!

[@leehopkins5430]

Similar to the stair thing I do that with ladders. Do they actually step on the rungs or not?!

[@davidamorao3254]

*Ladders of levitation*

[@DemonicBolt66]

I check for legs, see the water physics, watch my feet on stairs... but in shooters, I also deliberately find walls, barriers, corners, etc. Anything with a hole, rounded edge, crack, or anything like that. I get into position, take careful aim, get my sights perfectly lined up... and see if I can shoot through that rounded edge of a chest high wall or if the hit-box for it has corners. Looking at you Mass Effect!

[@k.iskandar]

Definitely guilty of the 7th one. Stair traversal matters!
