I like this post, mainly because I truly do believe not every game you like has to be a Best buy or a top seller. Day before was arguably terrible yet was a great time for me I'm thinking back to my Sega Saturn days, playing games I had a great time with weren't 'good games'. Thanks for this!

And this is on both sides, people who like the game thinking someone saying its not for them is calling the game terrible and people who don't like the game calling a game objectively bad. Also what people consider terrible. Me and my friend go "dumpster diving" every so often and play actual shovelware, most of the "worst games ever" in peoples heads are actually mediocre at worst. I've played legitimate 1s or 2s out of 10, the games that literally don't start or the controls just don't work.

My main issue with The Callisto Protocol is that, for all it was attempting to tap into Dead Space nostalgia, the enemies are utterly forgettable. Think about Dead Space and how iconic different enemy types are - the slashers, obviously, but also the leapers, the lurkers, etc. You can recognize them each just by their silhouette. Callisto Protocol, by contrast, mostly has “guy with skin condition of varying severities” and “dude with two heads”. It is visually very impressive, though.

Inquisition is such an interesting game to be in this conversation. Cause while I agree that the discourse has collapsed around it by this point, that game won many GOTY awards the year it came out. It's wild that a game that was so successful could now be widely considered "bad" partly because of how contrarian *some of the fandom has become in recent years. EDIT: if you legitimately didn't like the game, your opinion is valid. I've heard enough about it now. You don't need to tell me. But feel free if it's really eating at you.

I do think it's a shame that you assume that people call it "bad" purely because they want to be contrarian. Clearly this is not the case. I recently (two months ago) played it for the first time, and I ended up putting 65 hours into it. If I wasn't willing to give the game a fair chance, I wouldn't have put that time into it. But despite putting my best foot forward, I have to say that I personally found it to be a really awful game. If I was just a hater with a predetermined opinion, I wouldn't have bothered with finishing the game like I did. The only reason I finished the game is so that I could wrap it up and form a coherent opinion of it on my own. I think you'll just have to accept that there are many people who genuinely do not like this game. I think being a contrarian and hating the game for the sake of it is honestly just as bad a rejecting other people opinions offhand because you can't believe there are people who just didn't get the enjoyment out of it you did. That's just not fair and not productive. You also claim that it is wild that such a successful game can now be considered "bad". That's honestly not wild at all. Many games are successful commercially and critically while still being very divisive. Just take DA2 for example. That did pretty well with critics and sold quite well too. But it was almost instantly maligned by fans upon its release. It's not that uncommon at all. Or take Monster Hunter World. That's one of Capcom's best selling games of all time, was critically acclaimed, and is hated with a passion by a significant portion of the fanbase (I do not agree with that, but I cannot take away their right to their own opinions). Sony dropped Demon's Souls and didn't even want to publish it outside of Japan because executives thought it was an awful game, but it became an instant cult classic upon release and is now part of a series of some of the most popular games in video game history. These things happen all the time.

Agreed. I don't care what game it is, what the reception is, or what era it's from. As long as the product in question is not legitimately problematic, harmful and/or disgusting, I just play and experience what makes me happy. If I enjoy something, I enjoy it. If I don't, I don't. If people can't accept that, that's their problem. Everyone has their preferences and while everyone is free to criticize, and point out legitimate issues, everyone also has a right to how THEY feel about a game. And that shouldn't be taken away.

For PC*. Not excusing the launch, but on PS5 it ran perfectly. Makes me think they designed it mainly for the PS5. I personally quite enjoyed it, it had its problems but people had massive unmeetable expectations on the face of it. The only real wish I had for it was more deep diving into the story. It had a ton of allusion to greater things, but it didn't expand on really any of them (except for the virus origins.)

Once I was done with the main quest I did some of Hakon and never continued further. I didn't touch The Descent and Tresspasser. I was hoping to wait it out where I forgot what happened mostly in the game but EA firing all Bioware veteran devs snuffed out all hopes of me coming back to it again. Maybe someday, but not now.

A weird one but i act really liked mafia 3. While i like the setting, time period and story the bigger reason is that i grew up poor and have never really been able to travel and see any of the places games take place in, in real life. But because one of my childhood best friends was originally from Louisiana, i DID get to go to new orleans with him and his family twice! Ill never forget playing mafia 3 and running across the french quarter/markets and thinking “if this is over here, i bet bourbon street is this direction” and i found it immediately on my first try and that was SUCH a cool feeling - being able to navigate a video game world by a real world memory. Also, i really like games where you hunt down bosses and/or enemy captains from a hierarchy. Some examples of that are - mafia 3, shadow of mordor/war, assassins creed odyssey (loved it as a full blown rpg), and of course, the old mercenaries games. While its not in depth enjoy to really capture me, i do like hunting fugitives in rise of the ronin right now. OH and i absolutely loved doing the optional hunts im final fantasy 12 (i have fairly limited jrpg experience but this one is my favorite!)

@@matebakk5187 I recently replayed Planescape for the first time in a very long time (I usually have a very good memory when it comes to video games so I tend to wait long times between replaying), and it completely holds up 100%. Since it's primarily a story-driven game, and the writing is still much better than what you'd find in most modern games, it really hasn't aged at all. And the places you visit or so unique and atmospheric, nothing really comes close honestly. Tides has some redeeming qualities, but ultimately it is a failure I believe. I don't really compare it to Planescape because the games honestly have almost nothing in common. You can certainly see that the game tried, but it's also clear that it just didn't receive nearly enough love from the developer. It needed a lot more time in the oven IMO.

I love how character driven the story is, and it helps that the majority of characters are fantastic. The companions interactions with each other is also a nice touch.

DA2 is good, its main problem is how rushed it was. The amount of asset reuse detracts from what is otherwise a great game. Imo DAO > DA2 > DAI. Not that DAI is _bad,_ but the constant "bring me 20 bear asses" single-player-MMO-style fetch quests rubbed me the wrong way.

While Dragon Age 2 has a lot of flaws, and that dev time they were given is just staggering, it still one of my favorite gaming experiences. To me, the biggest thing with, aside from the crunched dev cycle, is that it was just at least a decade ahead of its time with what it was trying to do and the story it told. Which I think is reflected on how massively the response to it and how it is discussed has changed over the years. Also, not only is the character gallery it creates magnificent, but I still count three antagonists from that game among the best I've encountered in gaming. Finally agreed on the Hinterlands as I would argue that it was the sole location in DAI where the story conflict actually felt realized in the area. This was due to their open world/exploration approach which meant that the locations had to be separated from the central storylines, which led to a weird sense of detachment between exploration and the main story.

I absolutely loved starfield and after becoming starborn it made me want to keep going. I watched a lot of gameplay and walkthrough videos and was flabbergasted at how some people play this game. I just couldn’t believe it. No wonder they call it trash. Completely missing out on the majority of the games content and never picking up how to really play even towards the end. My experience the first time was phenomenal and never once ran into a big or crash. There’s so much to this world. I basically have half a planet colonized with the base building feature and making so much money doing so. There’s secrets on all these “bland” planets that are so in depth and it’s mind blowing to me that people dismiss this. Like stop fanboying over who made it, what you wanted it to be and just play the dam game like you did as a kid. I personally try all the “bad games” and try and find all the good in them and it’s opened up my world of gaming. But people hear one review and instantly form a bs opinion. I don’t read movie reviews and I don’t read game reviews. I go in blind just as I did as a kid and have a blast every time

Thanks for acknowledging Starfield - undoubtedly one of the most rage-baited games of all time. A game that does *a lot* of things *very well* , but doesn’t do any single thing exceptionally well. An objectively better than average game, that’s been treated like a manure pile by ‘those parts of the Internet’. Also: DA:I and Outer Worlds are both among my favorite games, having done multiple playthroughs of both!

I think what it boils down to is expectations. I haaaaated Fallout 4 but it's a me issue, I was coming in fresh from FNV and I have come to recognize that many things were done right in that game (like gunplay), but those were the bits I didn't care about, while the bits I did care about (like writing) were basically afterthoughts. Ultimately, if you come in with high expectations you made for yourself, it's on you. However, if the *company* set up these expectations, as in the case of Starfield, it's absolutely on them.

It's unfortunate that many people who probably would enjoy it never will get to due to our innate susceptibility to group think. Such is life.

I feel similarly about Outer Worlds. I enjoyed it, but it just needs to be bigger. Not necessarily a sprawling 100hr+ game like other RPGs, but just “more.” I found the gear/loot, enemies, and exploration somewhat lacking. Also, there weren’t any particularly memorable choices to redo and devote whole playthroughs to, so the replay value was limited for me. Nonetheless, Obsidian has a very solid foundation to build upon for their sequel.

I won't pass judgement on Starfield until I've actually played it. What put me off buying it was the ridiculous price they set it at (and so many other AAA publishers are now doing) . At minimum, it'll need to go on sale for 50% before I consider getting it. At which point, I'm sure I'll find something to enjoy. Broken Roads is on my Steam wishlist and despite whatever negative reviews it received, I fully intend on buying and playing it at some point. The Callisto Protocol isn't my kind of game so I never gave it much thought. I only got maybe a quarter of the way through DragonAge Inquisition before I got distracted by another game. I don't recall why I never got back to it. Some of the systems were a bit clunky (like the weapon/armor crafting and a map or two was a tad confusing) but for the most part I was enjoying the game. I was a huge fan of DA Origins and while I liked the story in DA2, I didn't care for the lazy, slightly redecorated but obviously overly reused settings. Not sure if I'll ever get back to Inquisition since the surprise reveal was spoiled for me. Also, EA's App of the moment is always annoying. As for The Outer Worlds, I never really forgave Obsidian for it being an Epic exclusive for such a long time. By the time it came to Steam, I was simply no longer interested. I might give it a chance eventually but there's only so much time I dedicate for gaming.

Carving out your own story is usually where the fun is at with Starfield. Personally, I really enjoyed the wandering freelance bounty hunter angle since it leaned into what the game did well. Disabling ships, zero g boarding actions, looting contraband, eventually getting caught red handed and coerced into becoming a criminal informant made for a more memorable story than anything to do with the relics. Mods might end up having just as much draw as DLC in the long run, but that feels quite a ways off. If a modding community engages with something like Fallout 4 to the point that we're getting expansion sized mods like Fallout London a decade after release, there's a lot of potential for Starfield.

I think it is a good presentation of games, which often got only mixed reviews. I know only three of these titles. You nailed the main reasons why they were less liked. I enjoyed The Outer Worlds most of those presented and played by me. Starfield is a bit shallow to me and lacking in what was expected from my side, and has still quite a few quest bugs. Maybe I finish it one day anyway. Last but not least DA:I. Well, after EA took over Bioware I got the impression games were more developed towards the next hype and with consoles in mind. DA:I veers mostly away from the tighter story-telling of the predecessors by trying to create more of an open world. Mixed feelings and maybe one day I complete it... Maybe.

I can be a weirdo about enjoying games despite popular reception myself, so I am enjoying this video and enjoy hearing your thoughts on lots of things. Hopefully someday I have enough time and energy to review multiple games myself, but I'll always appreciate your approach and the voice you bring (in multiple senses).

I was mixed on the Castillo protocol I liked the graphics, I found the story, writing, atmosphere, cutscenes and music I liked. But I will agree I didn't like the map, no hud, difficulty way to hard, boss fights I didn't like either and I didn't like the gameplay either

Love seeing you talk about the outer worlds. I know I'm probably the outer worlds guy on the channel but it's legit my favorite game ever. I know it's not the best but to me it's the perfect blend of story and fun exploration. I can't stop smiling when I play it. The world , sounds , dialogue

I started Inquisition 2 times... Is just boring for me. Also, l found some overpowered enemies (basically unbeatable!) very early in the game. I understood it was due to some difficulties settings that should have been used after NG+ or something, but it killed it for me...

DA: Origins is almost a perfect game. I had dreams about that game I was so immersed. DA: Inq I found to be a very good game as well, don't understand all of the hate. DA: 2 story was great but didn't enjoy the game play that much - my least favourite of the three.

I feel Outer Worlds get some bad rap for as you say: "not being Fallout". It totally shouldn't have been advertised that way for sure but I loved it despite its problems. I generally love how Outer Worlds does its world building. How once you start looking past the pretty lights and advertisements of the various corps, it's incredibly dark! Once I started looking at terminals, reading, just looking past the first layer, I was kinda blown away with it. Made some of the quests and Peril on Gorgon a bit more impactful. Speaking of: The Peril on Gorgon DLC was honestly just amazing. The whole story was pretty gripping but again once you start reading stuff it just takes it another level. Having Parvati along just made all the bad stuff you see on Gorgon sink in a lot more. Dang, I might have to play it again lol.

I'm currently replaying Outer Worlds and I'm enjoying it. However, the reason why I was disappointed in the game is because New Vegas showed us Obsidian can do better in certain aspects. Mostly with the perk system, armor and weapon variety. The perk system is very uninspired and are mostly just flat increases. Compare that to New Vegas and you had a whole array of interesting perks for roleplaying. The armor and weapon variety was also very lacking. Meanwhile New Vegas has one of the best weapon variety in it's genre.

Starfield for me personally was such a hype i insta pre ordered the premium edition. When it came out i completed it within 4 weeks and around 100 hours of playtime and just enjoyed it. It's obejectively not a good game for todays standards but there is just something about bethesda games that i enjoy. There is this "bethesda magic". I loved skyrim and have countless hours in it also modded a ton.
