[@shanemcdaniels]

I was surprised how well it was recieved, I appreciate you giving it a chance and subbing! Check out that latest vid, it's like this one but seriously polished in comparison

[@TAELSDOLL]

[@shanemcdaniels]

He is absolutely the goat. I won't hide he's an inspiration

[@AzureBashXIII]

I like the part when Lucio says "Oh let's break it down!" and Blizzard breaks down the whole PVE campaign project and screwed over the OW fanbase.

[@shanemcdaniels]

I actually lold for this comment

[@plantman357]

Good vid covering material I was aware about, while be unaware of the deep details. Subbed. Keep up the good work!

[@JanJozefo]

I really dig this format you have. I just subscribed. Greetings from Colombia!

[@Zischiii]

[@actuallynotsteve]

Well goddamn pal, guess I'll subscribe

[@gbeats1988]

You're all good using my beats man, thanks for giving credit!

[@shanemcdaniels]

BRO! HOW DID YOU EVEN KNOW A SMALL CHANNEL LIKE ME WAS USING YOUR BEATS??? Btw I heard it through Brock bereigan playlist on Spotify and I had it on repeat most of yesterday. Great song dude, thanks again. I will always give credit to any song I use.

[@arkanitezen8996]

Solid vid my dude. Everyone is just so tired. I am tired, youre tired. The dev team is probably tired. They're becoming the scapegoats for the corporate suits. If they actually just focused on making a good game, PEOPLE WILL BUY IT. If a game is good, no matter how much it is people will still pay. Its gotten to a point where theyre just pushing buttons. Once they get a reaction thats when they just adapt to it, just so they wont get cancelled. Pathetic.

[@shanemcdaniels]

I love this comment, and I want to put a paradigm shift on it, if people can appreciate my vids that I film in my shed as a one man crew, they could appreciate any variation of a finished game. We just wanted a game to play, not a chain to be jerked.

[@RegashuDB]

Wait- wait why doesn’t this have more views and stuff? It’s such a well made video. Holy crap I was immediately sucked in. Unless I’m missing something and you have a bigger channel???? Subbed. I quit Overwatch a while ago… I hoped PvE Could bring me back. But it died before it even woke up 💀

[@shanemcdaniels]

Lol I really appreciate the compliment, no I just got back into KZbin after I took a break for a pregnancy and moving, I decided to get back into it and start ground up. Thanks for watching my stuff!

[@RegashuDB]

@@shanemcdaniels oh congratulations!! I’m just starting to get into KZbin myself and I seriously have to improve my content going forward because I know no one wants to see my poor editing skills lol but I’ll get better with time. I hope things go well with the baby and stuff man! I want a kid too but I have a fear I’m not responsible enough/skilled enough

[@shanemcdaniels]

@@RegashuDB I said the same thing but just like everything else, as long as you do your best that's all you can do, I'll check out some of your content!

[@RegashuDB]

@@shanemcdaniels oh god no I’m sooo self conscious about my videos but I guess I post them for a reason- so that people can see and stuff I guess oh man, sorry if I’m taking up your time talking to you via KZbin comment replies like this

[@xsleptx554]

Wait so you do Aesop Rock breakdowns and gaming content?!?! Count me in!!!

[@shanemcdaniels]

I make literally whatever I want because God I'm American 🦅 🦅 welcome to the channel

[@lrmcatspaw1]

I keep telling people they got it all wrong. Its not Overwatch 2. Its Overwatch S. the S stands for Shop.

[@askaflamininja]

They've become masters of lying to their audience. They know exactly when to reveal the truth (after you've all bought the game).

[@1un4cy]

Remember Warcraft 3? Before it was reforged? When it was reforged? aka you're no longer allowed to play the copy of the game you bought 20 years ago

[@shanemcdaniels]

I never got into warcraft, but when I saw that, I didn't think it would spread to other companies like Bungie. I used to play a lot of destiny and when they vaulted areas, planets and some weapons I was completely blown away with how cancerous this policy is. It's absolutely killing it's communities from the inside

[@princesscadance197]

Their excuse is so weak. I consider myself a storyboard writer working on my worldbuilding, I understand that to see any payoff, and potentially any profit, I must invest the time, resources, and effort into actually fleshing out the stories, and that profit, both from a literal financial sense and from perspective of self-fulfillment, won't come unless I make the sacrifice and actually do it. The execs want money NOW! In a perfect environment, the ratio of investment to profit would be roughly balanced. Want more profit? Up the investment. Don't want to up the investment? Be okay with stagnation or a loss of profit. But with the execs being the literal manifestation of the cardinal sin of greed, they want maximum profit for minimum investment.

[@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad]

What i don't like about battepass is if you miss it you will never get it and the fact that the past items are showing in the gallery are just a slap to your face

[@shanemcdaniels]

Agreed. I personally think that in order to get the good stuff, you have to wade through all the dog shit ones for characters you don't play.

[@LerThiL]

Wish I could uninstal and go back to Overwatch 1, but we cant and we payed for it!

[@krel3358]

The problem that you should realize is that the original overwatch was a cannibalized game along with D4 being another cannibalized game that was thrown together using D tier staff. Basically what Blizzard has been doing is cobbeling together rejected projects or things they didnt have proper funds for, salvaging them and rebranding them with high production values so people dont notice how shallow the games are and then throw in tonnes of monetized content like skins and battlepasses. Blizzard is a hollow shell of its former self as what its basically been doing is firing highly talented people then taking their work and giving it to lower paid low skilled staff to finish the work. The results you can see and this is why Blizzard's president left the company to found another gaming company as he has lost control of his baby to activison who just exploits, lies and manipulates to the highest degree. People then dont notice this shit because they have no standards and a short attention span. Im not going to give them any more money after what they did to HOTs as its very clear that activision has a total contempt for their customers and think they can heap shit on a plate and still sell it for a premium price because of their name brand. Its basically like if Gucci got a bunch of sweatshop children to make all their shitty clothes and upsold it for 600$ while it functionally being ripped jeans with a logo on it that they have been reusing and rehashing old designs since the 1980s. The best part of Overwatch is all the porn it spawned.

[@shanemcdaniels]

The way they leash their employees around, starting and stopping projects after countless hours of overtime just to scrap all that work and it mean nothing, was more than enough for me to boycott them. This I'm sure was just the final nail in the casket for most of us

[@actuallynotsteve]

I hear so much about the overwatch porn, is it really that deep of an industry?

[@joshua_lee732]

This isn't a Gentoo Linux video.

[@hilosky]

Damn. I got halfway through the vid before I realized you're a small channel with only 27 subs. Looked like some high-quality sh*t. Turn down the music a bit tho. We came to hear you, not dope beats.
