a games significance is determined by how many video essays are written about it in a couple of years

[@Mermete8]

and how many times it's mechanic or design are replicated in new games, Eg. metroidvania, soulslike, etc.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

No, a work of art is not valuable until it becomes a Family Guy skit or a Fortnite skin

[@harrydavey9884]

Significance is totally subjective. Maybe to many people, Fortnite is "significant". To me, it's garbage 👍🏻

I feel like Kyle used the thumbnail with DD2, Rise of Ronin, and Princess Peach to trick me into clicking faster than I would have if the thumbnail had showed Monopoly Go. Fair play.

[@neojd]

Right there with you Kyle, don’t how this company spent $500 MILLION on advertising and I too have never heard of this game before. Let alone it being a Monopoly game. 🤯

[@orijimi]

It's easy, they just gave it all to the app stores and Google AdSense to throw it repeatedly in the face of people who come to those storefronts thinking that those storefronts attempt to highlight good games for you to play in the same sort of way Netflix does movies and TV.

[@Mermete8]

Agree. And now that we heard about it we still don't care BUT feel the loss of two good games that were not developed instead for us

[@K4LAMAWHO]

​@@K4LAMAWHO Thanks! If only I wouldn't be too old for TikTok. I miss all the great Monopoly GO ads on the Chinese KZbin Shorts and I need to have aneurysm from the Hero Wars ads instead on the American TikTok

A lot of information in this episode I wish I didn't know. Congrats to kyle for making ninja turtles more culturally significant. Your shirt rocks this week.

[@inri_lee]

My god Kyle. The amount of references, connections, research, and personal anecdotes put into this… you are a treasure that I will for always remember

[@superbro6413]

With every episode of Delayed Input that drops, I am made ever more impressed by Kyle's truly expansive clothing selection I legit wonder if he ever bought a single shirt for this show, or if they were all things he just had in a giant closet

[@MonsterMJ]

there is never one week without an amazing episode of delayed input

[@celfhelp]

i've grown to really value the increasingly few people/pieces of media that are so impactful, their significance is obvious to the generation they exist within i also value the fact that i have not once ever heard the phrase "little turtle erections" in my 35 years of life before today, friday march 22 2024

[@mattdog1000000]

This is reminding me of the conversations people have in regards to who gets into Smash Bros., they're the *king makers, they are plucked from games new and old, and then their presence in Smash shows that they or their games are significant.

[@Hugsloth]

Other than a couple examples... Like including Min-Min despite ARMS being a cultural and commercial flop, or putting in characters whose popularity wasn't even proven yet (Greninja, Corrin). It got a little bloated

[@user-ot2me4ic3s]

This show is so high quality

[@bananachild1936]

Kyle Boseman looks like classic late 90s to early 2000s Nickelodeon's "Patchy The Pirate" Tom Kenny with that pretty fly retro color shirt.

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

Very specific. Was Tom Kenny famous for wearing striped shirts in the late 90s to early 2000s? Anytime I see rugby polos, I'm reminded of Chris Chan.

[@emilymitchell6823]

This truly will, or won’t, go down as one of the great, or not, games commentary videos

[@EricJackson]

Maybe I’m basic, but I loved the vibe of the Shrek bit. The audio dropping out and almost a horror swell. So funny.

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

8:30 No, we love monopoly because it's a brand we've played and have known about since we were kids. The original game, physically or digitally on steam, is fun with friends. If monopoly go is free and also has addiction mechanics, people are going to play it and give into its addiction mechanics by paying to roll more.

[@jonterp]

The vibes of this season have been great so far.

[@The_SOB_II]

Oh my God I'm here soon and quickly. Nice to finally meet you Kyle Brandon

[@mintcake2668]

I'm getting major flashback from an old Final Bosman episode where Kyle laughed at Activision Blizzard for spending billions to acquire King. Candy Crush Saga made almost a billion in 2023, 10 years after the initial release.

[@egberteil8462]

I just finished Infinite Wealth and it was amazing. Gameplay, story and the sheer amount of content are stunning. Started Rise of the Rōnin today and cannot wait to leave no stone unturned.

[@zacharyqueyrouze6604]

I think it isn't necessarily about how many other movies reference a previous movie, but how many referential scenes are in the movie itself. Or in the current tongue, meme worthy moments.

[@gmbai]

It's the creators that create those legacy. Film nets who go into film making are what makes the classics.

[@8-bitbenzu529]

thanks for making me feel old today as someone who has been playing videos games for decades, I still don't understand the mobile market

[@TopCheeseBarDown]

To answer honestly: I think Rebirth is a game for nostalgia-loving 30-50 year olds. I don't think teenagers of today really care about it.

[@TechMetalRules]

Two favorite media referencing media: - Shadow of the Colossus in the Adam Sandler/Don Cheadle movie 'Reign Over Me' - Metalocalypse in the HBO series 'The Sopranos'

[@RougeMephilesClone]

I can't speak for anybody else, but Princess Peach: Showtime doesn't rank on my internal significance list. I've been into stuff for age brackets much lower than mine, and Showtime's minigame collection don't step to 'em. Now, that one Winnie the Pooh action-adventure for sixth-gen consoles, that game'a kinda' schnice. Ya' gotta' run from the Heffalumps and Woozles, and yell at the evil tree to back that bark up. ...Kirby's Epic Yarn would've been a better example, huh.

[@goranisacson2502]

... There was a Winnie the Pooh action game? Did it star Piglet? I vaguely remember a game from that era starring Piglet.

[@jasonamayun5126]

Conceptually, this also plays into the idea of cultural hegemony, with relatively small economies like South Korea, and even Japan, having an outsized cultural influence relative to their economic output both regionally and internationally within specific spheres, such as Japan in gaming and animation, South Korea in music, and in all those spheres much more than the factually much larger Chinese economy. i.e. popularity (size) ~= influence

[@zenithquasar9623]

Your content is so aligned with my brain!

[@jimsface]

Max said it the best - FF7 Rebirth isn’t innovative in any way, it’s a culmination of the best parts of open world game design. It samples what works and puts it all together in one package. The significance comes from the trilogy itself as opposed to any individual game. I think many people will look back at this when it’s all said and done and think “wow, I had a decade long experience with this story” and that’s when it’ll feel significant to that individual.

[@jaserhelu2125]

The very end absolutely killed me

[@SaiyanHeretic]

Looking forward to future Sony movies getting reshoots to insert a scene of the hero saying "It's Morbin' Time"

[@cosmosofinfinity]

The value of a work of art is determined primarily by how many morbs it contains within

[@schtive81]

That 2015 article from that Independent is a bit small in scope when it says that a movie is held up in popularity by how it gets referenced in other movies. Flash forward almost a decade later, and I think web content is what keeps an old movie popular. Recently, there was a Trailer for Beetlejuice X2. A sequel for a movie from 1988. The trailer for this sequel opens with the song Day-O. The most viewed clip from the original Beetlejuice movie was the 'Day-O' dance scene. 55million total views. Which makes me think that the marketers of the sequel are really going by that bit of nostalgia from the OG movie. Based on the YT view count. I also made sure not to type Beetlejuice's name three times. You know...

[@user-hq6kn5vp2q]

Helldivers increased the interest in starship troopers, so even games can make older movies more popular.

[@schtive81]

@@user-hq6kn5vp2q I'm not really surprised. I feel like the excitement for movies have been dwindling over the last 5 years. To the point where games in general get more views for trailers. I feel like that Robocop game has done more to reignite interests in the old movies than that last reboot did. But I do not think that the movie industry will die out. I think it will have some form of resurgence.

[@RaveDX]

RIP Akira Toriyama. Also, Kyle has never failed once to make me laugh in any of his videos.

[@vodkagobalsky]

Those turtles clips killed me hahahaha

[@closedchill5243]

Remake part 3 is going to have a fully flyable airship. Its going to have a fully controllable submarine. Its going to have a snowboarding game. I kinda think we will be getting new continents that weren't in the OG too. Massive Wutai glow up for one, but I think there will be a lot more. I think we're all collectively waiting on the whole thing to be out before passing final judgement. I'm towards the end of rebirth and if they can keep this high bar going, the game will be very fondly remembered. I think the legacy will top the OG, which is probably the only bar that matters.

[@nerdobramer]

There Kyle goes again, attempting to… RANK… THE SIGNIFICANCE

[@mrcrueslipants]

"Rank. The. Significance." 8:57 What a nice callback to Easy Allies days.

Did I just not pay attention or was there no honk this week? Is this an accidental omission or is Kyle playing a weird social experiment with us ?

[@cruuump]

[@hjcinc1]

Oh lord, Kyle didn’t even mention Alone in the Dark coming out yesterday. I feel so bad for it, it’s something special.

[@goranisacson2502]

Man, thanks for the reminder- I too had sadly forgotten it was dropping SOMETIME around now, I just didn't know when. Though I will be reading reviews before I buy, I think I'll be down for it even if it's "just" a 6 out of 10- I just want to experience me some Carnby again that's not "I'M THE FUCKING UNIVERSE".

[@johnmorgan3492]

I saw Kyle eat a boiled egg by chewing it up and then squirting mayo in his mouth to help it go down

[@Zamzummin]

Kyle as a subscriber from the year 2029 I came to tell you that this was your most significant video.

[@Dyno_98]

That article of a movie's popularity depending on the number of references in posterior movies sounds suspiciously close to the twitter post saying Avatar doesn't have cultural relevance because it doesn't produce any memes

[@user-hq6kn5vp2q]

But Avatar has tons of memes and not just in the west, maybe the person who made that twitter post didn't look good enough.

[@steel.oneill]

First off, this is a genuinely fascinating video - thank you, please keep fighting at the vanguard of the eternal war. Secondly, I have been a champion of our Lord Honk since day one... But I may now have to worship and the feet of Ser Falling Whistle

[@cashnelson2306]

I fucking hope Rebirth is making an impact. It’s the best game I have played in years.

[@jqwright28]

I think Spec Ops The Line is a good example of this. It launched to mediocre reception but today you see more people talk about it than talk about Bioshock Infinite. Like to the point that it's almost criminal that SOTL hasn't gotten a straight 1:1 remake.

[@alexander_mcgrem]

S-Tier Episode

[@idrago01]

shrek being in the episode just feels right

[@goranisacson2502]

On the one hand, I doubt Monopoly Go will have any scene as memorable as... nearly ANYTHING in FF7 Rebirth, but it is a 70 buck game for a 500 buck console. I think that people willing to pour money into gaming will love and cherish it, but compared to the far grander scale of the audience who plays free to play games... there's no contest who makes the most profit. But as far as what will make the strongest memories of today, I think it'll have to be one of the free to plays. I feel like even for the new generation of nerds who are into story and non-western aesthetics, Mihoyo and Genshin Impact and all their other games will be what Final Fantasy were to us, due to it's spread and accessability.

[@TheBladedTechShow]

Monopoly Go player here. I can't really speak to the attractiveness of it or whether it will be forgotten in a year, but given that it's a Monopoly game on mobile that doesn't require me to pay for dice (the primary source of microtransactions in Monopoly Go and they do upsell you pretty hard) or pay to play the game (Marmalade's Monopoly game costs $35 to own all the boards plus the cost to buy the game), I can live with the constant upsells.

[@thatshype_]

holy shit that ending killed me

[@solofox9426]

It's true, I learned most of what I know about old movies from Muppet Babies.

[@Kango234]

Honestly most of my memories of the Muppets are from that cartoon. At some point I realized I have zero nostalgia for the show that was just SNL with puppets.

[@mattlandry]

That bonus bit got me good. Short and sweet 😂

[@Glbkwpg]

I guess Monopoly Go is one of the (if not the) most recognisable board games, anyone on a commute or just sitting there bored who wanders onto the app store will likely pick it as they know what the game is already, even if they're not into games generally, and there are probably many millions of people who do that. It's just one of those long running culturally engrained family games that you'd play with your grandparents on a Sunday. Similar to Scrabble or Box Peek.

[@Viroquet]

This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned the whole world And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her When she smiles

Marketing is a powerful tool.

[@jamesbroome4802]

Surely certain types of films are easier to reference. You cant really have a parody or jokey line about Shindlers List or 12 Years a Slave as easily as you can The Adams family or such.

[@criticalfish]

Recently so many games have been so absurdly good, that I feel like gaming has peaked in a way. When I was 13, I thought Pikmin 3 was a pinnacle video game, and today I feel like Rebirth and Resident Evil 4 are also pinnacle. I optimistically think games will continue to be as good as the examples I listed, but I won’t be surprised or impacted as much by them.

[@ntsakomathebula4840]

Let's face it the Final fantasy remakes are only significant to Millenials and KZbin Essays, these kids are going to say "they don't make games like Fortnite and Roblox no more."

[@Choom89]

Yeah, this remake is taking way too long now. It's lost all it's hype IMO.

[@lewiep]

I guess this means that Alone In The Dark [2024] is confirmed insignificant?

[@geoffbaumgartner5335]

I'm by no means squeamish, prudish, or offended by things... but not having to see Arsequeef at the end of the videos kinda eases my mind for some reason. Another banger.

[@freezerino]

Related to this, I was thinking maybe we should have two different "game of the year" awards. One which recognizes popularity or zeitgeist, and one which recognizes achievement in game design. One game could get awarded both, but the differentiation feels significant.

[@clayton_games]

I don't know how Monopoly Go can be so successful, regardless of marketing budget. Are there that many mindless people that just want to feel "lucky" without any kind of thoughtful action?

[@Firensid]

Maybe they discuss this and I’m stupid but it seems to me like a movie would have to be culturally significant to influence other filmmakers into making references. It seems like a stat that just transforms things that are hard to measure (culture) into something kind of measurable through the conduit of people (filmmakers in this case).

[@saligraphy]

It's crazy how hard Mediatonic/Epic fumbled the bag with not putting Fall Guys on mobile ASAP. I love Fall Guys, but I also know how huge Stumble Guys is on mobile because Fall Guys never went there, based on it's collab partners they've had (the freaking NFL had a seasonal "event" at one point in Stumble Guys). Epics battle with Apple has cost Epic billions and might end up killing Fall Guys (well now it's getting shoved into a Fortnite mode and will probably just live there lol).

[@davidsomoza]

Do FF7R make an impact? Maybe not, but man, buying a game for 70 eurodollars that is feature complete, singleplayer, lasts dozens of hours and i can take my sweet time with shorts sessions without worrying about another fomo pass on my backlog? Feels good still.

[@goose2270]

Turtles deserve love too ❤🐢

[@Ragsy43]

For me, this kind of ranking of significance really comes to a head when people are talking about eras of music. It's easy to think the 80s or 90s had better music than today when you weren't alive in those decades and didn't have to listen to the vast majority of crap that got popular. Time has shaven most of those off and now we're left with a bunch of classics that are generally agreed to be good. Saying 80s music was categorically better than 2020s music is like comparing two sports teams, but for one of them you only include their winning seasons in the calculation.

In this day and age, Monopoly as a brand and as a game being anything more than a quirky footnote in History is undeniable proof that we, the enjoyers of games, are fucking braindead and always have been.

[@likealaddertothesun]

I really thought you were going to connect that why we are even getting a 3 part remake of FF7 now instead of any other FF game is because of the substantial budget spent on marketing the original FF7 at the time of it's release.

[@knleonhart]

I may or may not have seen Monopoly Go ads in FF7 Evercrisis. At least part of that Saudi money is going to Square, but it’s also sad that association is even there. And it’s also sad that I’m playing anything where Monopoly Go shows up. Fortunately, by supplementing Rebirth with mobile games, Rebirth has been free of horrible monetization.

[@polasboek]
