I appreciate every person whoever went out of their way to make guides for us. I remember as a kid going onto Game Faqs and looking up guides there to help me on whatever game I played. It really showed how the gaming community back then was much more constructive and helpful to one another. No one got paid for it, no one was sponsored nor had any ads. Just a solid gamer willing to put time to help other gamers, ones they'll probably never meet in person like myself. Thank you all!

I have so much respect for modders. From games like Skyrim to Cities Skylines and even Stardew Valley, I have spent many more hours on the game thanks to the incredible mods people and groups have created. The dedication and skill they have is unbelievable and game companies should offer these guys jobs because in a lot of cases they have a lot more talent and/or passion towards the game. That being said the parent companies are hugely to blame for time constraints but give people passionate to a project and wonderful things will happen.

Huge props to people still making gamefaqs guides for games that are not that popular. Currently playing the Switch remake of "Digital Magical World 2" with a 3 year old and the only thing out there are two item/collection guides written by one single person 6 years ago for the 3DS version (with both Japanese and English translations). They also were the one answering all the questions on the forum. Truly amazing dedication.

Reminds me of when GTA online heists were still relatively new. I happened to join 3 other players who had mics. After the prison break heist, we went to humane labs. They had everything under control. At the start of the heist where you had to be stealthy, two of them asked me and the other to wait at the entrance and they cleared most of it by themselves. Having great players in a game can be nice

Huge respect for guide writers. They're legitimately getting nothing from it, especially the guys from GameFAQS back in the day. They'd write a guide, and if they were lucky they'd get a thank you or two from fellow players. I have an appreciation for modders too, but they get to play with their mod in the end, so that has a payoff

Number 2 is personal for me. A good friend of mine is one of the best in the world at soul calibur 6 and I can't tell you how much respect I have for him. He will casually compete in other fighting games and get top 100 at evo, in a game that's not his main, without breaking a sweat. It's great to watch him and see how the skillset required for something like that is so similar to say being a professional musician, something I pursued at one point in my life.

THANK YOU for some of these highlights. Once upon a time I aspired to write walkthroughs. Realizing how much time in life I really don't have, I gave up. I headed a guild in Perfect World and discovered I didn't have the patience for humans and their petty squabbles. I tried live streaming, only to realize everyone else out there was better than me--and more entertaining! I tried modding, only to find I have no skill whatsoever. lol So, YES, thank you so much for taking a few minutes (and an entire video) to highlight those with real dedication to the art and artistry that is gaming!

The thing is in a way, even Batman is overpowered. A 30 your old man that breaks the human strength limit(even when he hits his 40s), his intelligence is very high(higher than Luthor) and he has a back up plan for everything. Oh and he can survive a fight with Superman. Seriously he didn’t die when Superman threw him through a building in Dawn of Justice. Dude that is overpowered lol 😂

I've heard that another problem indie devs face is in game length. Steam has a refund cut off time of two hours played regardless of game length. If your game can be played from start to finish in under two hours it doesn't matter how good your game is. People will leave glowing reviews but refund the game anyway because they can. Many indie devs have quit after their first title or two after this happened to them.

I used to make building tutorials for Ark: Survival Evolved. That took some serious dedication. I'd experiment with ways to trick building mechanics, once I came up with something good I'd build it over and over and over to work out bugs and make it as easy to recreate as possible. Then I'd have to record, edit and voiceover in a way that meant everyone could follow along. One example is a video I made of how to hide behemoth dino gates into a decent looking castle entrance. The video was 20min long, it took about 2 months to perfect how to do it. Then it took a couple of weeks to record and edit. If you want to see dedication then check out Captain Fatdog. He cracked how to make proper round buildings with square building pieces and fence foundations. He actually sat down with pen and paper to figure out how to do it!

I love to play multiple other games, triple A or otherwise, but I find coming back to SM64 is addicting / difficult since it's easy to forget strategies / lose muscle memory, and I'm only decent at best. It's quite a balancing act, and I partially wish I never even started it since there's so many other great games to play.

Former EVE player here. I went from being a solo player, flung into fleet commanding and shortly after being the XO of an alliance (a group of guilds in EVE) and let me tell you, it was waaaaay more than I wanted to get into, but I had fun, even if it ended with the alliance imploding from my poor leadership 😅

I love gameranx and Falcon. These guys go out of their way every 3-5 videos to highlight the folks and achievements of people who never even attempt to call attention to their accomplishments. Also, at the time of this writing, 180 people have downvoted the video which only should tell anyone that less than 1% of viewers of this channel are silently whining about... God knows what.

No other channel I have seen can articulate gamer culture as well as Gameranx. This video hit hard on multiple points, from collecting games, running a guild, and especially game guides. I remember the closest thing I had waaaaay back when was playground gossip, or a monthly magazine IF they bothered to publish an article/guide on the game you were looking for.

I remember finding GameCube versions of the original Resident Evil games for like 150 bucks each back in the day. Of course that was before online stores and digital games were a thing and WAY before they remade it so I'm sure the games are more available now so maybe they are cheaper idk but I actually considered buying 2 but never could spend that much on one game

People make guides for games because cooperation for mutual benefit is built into who we are as a species. You write a guide for a game you know, someone else writes a guide for a game they know, and before long you have a thriving collection of guides for any game you might need help with. People make mods because creating art is also built into who we are as a species, and it's more fun to work with a medium you enjoy, whether it's paint, marble, or DOOM.

I don't think I'd be able to finish any action or open world game without a game guide to help me out when I'm lost about something. The walkthrough for the last of us was my Bible while I played through it.

I’ve been emailing Rocksteady this for a few years at this point. But since KZbin is the one place where people steal ideas or seem to help people get their ideas out there, I’ll share this here. I love Superman. And have since I could remember. A great Superman game would consist of this, enemies suited up in green Kryptonite armor with Kryptonite ray guns. Red Sun suits with enemies brandishing Red Sun bats with spikes, Guns with Red Sun bullets. And white Gravity suited enemies that also brandish gravity guns as well. And let’s also add magic into the mix of enemies as well. Lex Luthor will be responsible for the first 3. As for the magic that can be implemented with other enemies. Let’s say you start the game and before you fight, a tutorial pops up explaining the different enemies you’ll be facing. And as one of the enemies shoots you, another tutorial pops up explaining how it weakens Superman. Now once you start fighting, the more enemies that are beat, Superman GRADUALLY gets stronger as there’s not enough enemies surrounding him to make him weak. Each fight he has, he should be nerfed by these enemies until he defeats all of them and regains his strength. Getting stronger when 5 to 10 out of 30 enemies are defeated. Similar to the Arkham series wherein when you defeat more enemies the more takedowns you can do. But instead of takedowns, you can use his other abilities, ie heat vision, super breath, freeze breath, speed etc. Other enemies should be included as well. Such as Parasite enemies which could nerf Superman and suck some of his power out of him. Brainiac enemies that can weaken him due to mental attacks and Metallo enemies that also have Kryptonite in their bodies to weaken him. Making the combat system difficult but rewarding as again, Superman will gain strength with each enemy defeated. Now if you wanted to add stealth, how about we do this, there’s bases similar to the Arkham series. But these bases will be filled with Kryptonite. Superman’s cape is said to have abilities that protect him, hence why he was sent to earth with it. So let’s say the Kryptonite at these bases is filled with Kryptonite poisonous gas. So Superman will enter them and take his cape off, he will then wrap around his head to protect him from inhaling in the poisonous Kryptonite gas. The cape will look like a Balaclava when he does this. And in stealth you can use a wide array of his abilities to take down enemies, such as freeze breath. Heat vision and so on. Traversal can be a leveling system. RPGish type elements similar to Spiderman and Dark Souls. Where you can gain points in some way to level him up. The story can go either way, where YOU the player make the choices. You can take the Injustice route or the classic Superman route. Either way it’s up to YOU. All this and more can be added into a Superman game. All this can happen. I love Superman. He and my father are my idols. I moved to the state SUPERMAN was created in, just to be closer to him. He deserves this. We ALL deserve this. It’s his time now. People say it’s impossible. It’s not, you just don’t love him enough. You just don’t know enough about him. You need to LOVE Superman if you’re to make a game, film, comic. You gotta LOVE him passionately as I do. Passionately as his fans do and as passionately as Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster did. I ranted. But I’m tired of people saying he’s just OP and boring. Use your head and learn about him. There’s so much to him. Please someone get this out to Rocksteady. I don’t want money or employment or anything from them. I just want Superman to be respected and seen as cool just like Batman is.

Each sub dedication focuses needs to make things right even if I am not a collector not a speedrunner (I do enjoy the games on their natural pace) but these things are somewhat needs to show to the devs that their game is worth the amount of money and time for those people. The ultimate goal is you start playing a game, do everything what was spoken in the video and in the end you make your own corporation-publisher to help other players to make their games. That's in my book the ultimate cycle of this industry.
