What I love about this channel is the mature, calm, honest, and personal commentary. TBH I don't actually play a lot of single player games (I have a short attention span and give up easily in RPGs), but I watch every single video because of the content. I am also adopted and, while it isn't related to any trauma with my biological parents (whom I don't know), I appreciate the honesty in describing the emotional ties you have to these games. I may become a convert to SP yet! 😊

[@JonoK5]

It's such a refreshing change 😊 I played lots of FPS last year with friends overseas which I wouldn't change a thing, but ever since the new year I've invested time into singleplayer games and I have no regrets! Games like BG3, Resident Evil series, Souls series etc. It's great to take time back for yourself and wind down on games you want to without the burden of other people's schedules! Best of luck with everything you got this!

[@beargrizzly6897]

Your story with FF12 is really moving. As someone who's still learning English, your soft and clear voice really makes your vids easy enough. Thanks for quality commentary as always!

You and Marcos are pros. I'm trying to learn Spanish to speak to customers and it's so hard to just put ideas into words. English is such a hard language, and Americans in particular just don't understand how crazy it is to learn it when you're not a little kid. Keep it up!

[@athanatos4011]

Final Fantasy 12 is such an underrated game in the series. Probably the most successful attempt at modernizing traditional JRPG combat while still keeping it recognizable, some of the best exploration in the series, a really unique progression system, just a very engrossing game.

[@rangermode]

Nonsense criticisms of the game by reviewers hurt its reputation in the West. The gambit system was criticized for allegedly making the game too easy, by "playing itself". Vaan was viewed as a late addition and self-insert slate. He was thought largely irrelevant to the story. What this tells me is that the reviewers of the time failed to appreciate an elegant realtime-with-pause system and also missed most of the character development.

[@jhorvat01]

What I disliked about FF12 as it had been released and I played it, there was no real protagonist. Vaan leads the story, but loses it's focus as a MC and get's replaced by Balthier (storywise). After I replayed the game 15 years later, I liked that shift.

[@Azazel226]

When it came out, it felt like a single player MMO. It was sweet.

[@codyb.3015]

The combat system is great, but I like 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 better which is probably why it's "underrated". Game kind of sucks story-wise compared to all of those games. It's so dry and boring.

[@codyb.3015]

@@Azazel226 That's exactly why it kind of sucks. MMO gameplay is inherently watered down garbage.

[@shadowxskills]

Cyberpunk is one of the most immersive game I've ever played. i love the book Neuromancer, and playing this reminded me so much of it.

[@ThePozilla]

I have to re-re-read that

[@gucciguy3408]

For me personally couldn't get Immersed at all. I could maybe see it in the main quest,but I feel the world is very lacking in Immersion past that. Of course this is with only 30 or so hours in the game so I couldn't actually say much about the main story. So I can only say the side activities and other parts of the little of the world I explored was just very non-immersive.

[@Respedes]

@@gucciguy3408Same for me, it just didn’t click unlike Witcher 3. Poor optimization and bugs also didn’t help

[@supbrotv]

I played it on a PS4 pro, with the final last gen update. It was glitchy as hell but without a doubt one of the greatest games I've played in my life. Never did I get so immersed into a game so much. In fact, it got me into playing Skyrim for over 60 hours until my game files got corrupted for some weird reason.

[@alexandra21478]

Would you recommend Neuromancer? What’s this book about?

[@anzolomyer4584]

[@dudarino666]

My birth father was also in and out of jail my whole life. My step father, my dad, was also a gamer and its how we often and still do bond. We started with old ms dos games from commander keen to space quest to civilization series. To the ps3 era when I was leaving high school. He was in the military and we didnt get a lot of time together. So when big releases would come out, he would buy them and let me skip school the next day or two and we would take turns going through them. My mom always gave him crap for it but it was worth it. The last time we did this was when my mom went to visit her mother and she specifically told my dad to not buy a ps3. He dropped her off at the airport and came home with one. We played God of War, Assasins creed, Cod4 MW, and uncharted for nearly 2 weeks. Those were good times. Sadly he went a bit over board on religion and flat earth and we dont talk like we used to.....

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

I love the story about your Dad and FF12. I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom with my daughter since it came out. We're invested in it together now. I unlocked the end game ages ago but she doesn't want it to finish so I guess we're finding all the Koroks haha. I'm so grateful to have that experience with her

[@makasete30]

The last dungeon, last boss and ending is fantastic, too. Make sure you have all the tears to unlock a bit of extra ending and all the allies helps, too. It was my GOTY last year.

[@whosaidthat84]

Absolutely love TOTK. I played it with my daughters too. They're massive Zelda freaks ever since they played my copy of Ocarina of Time 3D. These moments are the best

[@lordrikudouzero9119]

That’s nuts!!! My 8yr old daughter and I took 250hrs to see the end credits then she wanted to beat Ganon one more time lol! While I still hold BotW as the better game I can’t deny how fun it was to play with her. We’ll never forget those moments, I’m glad you had them too👌🏾 I guess it’s just something with Zelda and daughters: the late Robin Williams had the same connection.

[@PicesQ]

The best thing about Baldur Gate 3 beside the game is that it introduces me to the best game reviewer on the internet.I'm glad my viewership has made a tiny contribution to paying off your house 😆

[@saxonknight0]

Theres something about that game that, while it might be not the best game objectively, is just so special and ethereal and memorable. My #1, mostly for the aesthetic and OST and the gambit system.

[@HollywoodGaming-fy3vt]

That bit about your father really hit home. Dads are so important, and I'm grateful you had someone to step into that pivotal role for you during your most impressionable years.

[@seneschal4617]

I thought to myself that CP 2077 was going to end up as another Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines situation (horrific launch, much maligned, then people came around to the gem underneath) and I'm glad I was right. Listening to Mike Pondsmith on the in-game radio talking about in-universe conspiracy theories while cruising around one of the coolest cities in all of video games is top immersive.

[@AuspexAO]

Mike Pondsmith is truly one of us nerds. Listen to him talk about how some people thing Johnny's malarion pistol is possessed by a cyberdemon is truly insane and the guy just revels in the lore and the world he creates. He would live in that world if he could, and that's just nuts in a good way, ha ha.

[@ghost999uk]

By far the best KZbin about , please keep up the amazing work. Everything I see you buy a new game on steam or add something to your wishlist I always check them out

[@johngone1nonly]

Can't agree more on Cyberpunk. The writers on that game really need all the recognition. It immersed me without me even realizing it because every interaction big and small felt organic.

[@TurdF3rguson]

Yeah, I also feel like the city itself is very immersive. Riding around at night and looking up at those huge buildings really imparts this sense that Night City has a lot going on behind the scenes. This might sound weird, but one stand out moment for me was when I decided to climb up on the ledge of this building, then saw another one higher up, and kept going for what must have been about 10 stories. I jumped onto the balcony of a building across from me, and there were all these NPC's walking around, an elevator that I could have just taken in the first place, and another street up here that I recognized from earlier. Something about that amount of verticality and interconnectedness just makes it feel like a real place.

[@ducky36F]

My favorites are DAO, KOTOR 2, WOTR, BG3, DOS2, Witcher 3, CP2077 and The Mass Effect trilogy. (Yes I'm claiming 8 and Mass Effect as one game now that I am allowed with MELE 😂)

[@ossihurme7572]

Good list. Bit surprised by Origins though. That while amazingly executed was just so familiar and borrowing so heavily from other titles that for me it felt like I had played it before. At least with sequel they had balls to try something new story wise.

[@_Seru_]

I'm glad someone also likes specifically KoTOR2. It's terribly underrated in my opinion and often seen as worse than the first game, which is simply not the case. It was rushed but the community mod pretty much finishes it, it's honestly a 10/10 game for me.

[@MKPwrz]

Mass effect definitely deserves to be mentioned as a trilogy

[@encantarebelde]

[@bigiron1990]

You’ve got me in the mood to share. Here are 7 of my Favorite games of all time, games that I will never get tired of. 1. Halo: Combat Evolved. (My very first game and one me and my brother bonded over a lot when we were kids) 2. Bioshock (the first time a narrative of a game completely engrossed me) 3. Pokémon fire red gen 3 (my first Pokémon experience on my gameboy advance) 4. Fallout: New Vegas (the RPG that made me fall in love with RPGs) 5. CoD Black Ops 1 (I just love this CoD so much, it’s just oozing personality and is still probably the most unique entry In the franchise IMO) 6. Dark Souls ( A game that feels like home, my brother got it for me for my birthday in 2013 and we quickly bonded over the experience of the game. Priceless memories) 7. Prey 2017 (A criminally underrated game with criminally underrated DLC. I come back to this master class every other year or so. So many different ways to tackle the game and always something new to find)

[@dionsmith2405]

Baldurs gate 3, cyberpunk 2077 and elden ring are my top 3 favourite games of all time. No other games have had me so engrossed and the depth in all three games are second-to-none. This is a great video and a great list!

A lot of KZbinrs do a fantastic job of explaining why they favor certain games over others. None of them add as many relatable personal reasons as you do, and that is exactly why I like your channel. You explain yourself so well that I can, with great accuracy, know if I will enjoy a game based solely on how you describe your experience with it. Looking forward to you being a regular part of my weekly KZbinr rotation for video game news and coverage for a really long time man! 🎉

[@kreol1q1q]

I'm pretty sure I ran across your channel and videos several times already in the past (I'm a huge Dragon Age fan and played a lot of BG3 recently), but this steam summer sale I got Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and that's what made me a subscriber - your videos have been invaluable in allowing me to stick with the game and not feel overwhelmed by the initial learning curve (to be sure, I'm still on it, only just started roaming around Kenabres), and they keep being a massive help in learning how to play and handle the game. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure your videos about Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny were what eventually convinced me to chose Wrath of the Righteous from among those three as the best game for me. And now I get to find and watch all your other content as well - I think you make some excellent stuff! What I guess I'm trying to say is - thanks for making all the content you do, it was and is both very helpful and very entertaining.

[@akito6572]

I'm so happy to see Cyberpunk 2077 on this list. Such an amazing game. Yea, it had a rough start but at this point it's one of my favorite games of all time.

[@marcosdheleno]

i was replaying oblivion, but its not for me, it commits one of the biggest sins in rpgs for me, scaling enemies. even though the combat is more snappy than morrowind, i feel like the world of morrowind is more fun to explore, also, the intro mission in oblivion i find obnoxiously long. i can see how others might like it, and i still think its a better game than skyrim. but i just hate scaling enemies. its a massive deal breaker for me unless its really well done.

Oblivion was basically my door into being a RPG enjoyer. Or rather say being a hardcore gamer. before oblivion i was just playing Battlefield and COD(i was pretty young back then.. maybe top young for that). Then around one year before Skyrim released, i just saw Oblivion in a store for 20 bucks. I picked it up because it looked cool. And then it hit me. This game opened a new dimension in gaming for me. Thats why despite BG3 and Witcher 3 (or maybe CP2077 patched) are like my most favorite RPGs of all time, Oblivion has a special place in my heart

[@peterk2735]

I prefer Morrowind, but I will never forget the first time I played Oblivion when it came out and exited the jail, stepping out onto the shores of lake Rumare, the sun painting it in hues of gold and the White Gold Tower standing tall behind me is a memory I will never forget. 😮

Great list and love all the interesting personal details. My top 7 would look like this: Guild Wars 1 Mass Effect 2 Fallout New Vegas Borderlands 2 Deus Ex: Human Revolution Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl Saints Row 2

[@Curt_Randall]

I always get apprehensive about trying to list my all time top games, because I am afraid I will forget some or have to leave out some to keep it short, especially after nearly 30 years of gaming. But just off the top of my head, top 7 for me are: Thief: the Dark Project, Half-life, Serious Sam: the First Encounter, Portal 2, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, and Subnautica. As you can see I have a wide variety of tastes and old school has a special place in my heart. Yes I have played many newer awesome games, but listing only 7 I had to make sacrifices.

[@Phat_Albert]

Congrats on your success! Keep it up.

[@Anthony-bm1gp]

Ayo a feature film length WoTR video is coming??!! That's what I love to hear. Honestly all the games you've chosen have resonated with me. Really love this channel. Great work!

[@MortismalGaming]

Probably at least 4 hours yeah

[@deanfitzz]

Did not expect to get Mortismal Lore in this video. Nice!

[@joseMgarcia0711]

"BG3 paid off my house". 😂 Loved the anecdotes about why the games you chose were your favorites.

[@StormKnightSera]

Not afraid to admit that your BG3 content is how I discovered you, although I've stuck around since :) I enjoy your reviews, and went back to watch earlier ones to find out your opinions, as I find you have a fair approach. The 100% is more of a bonus thoroughness than anything haha. My 7 favorite games ever include: Borderlands 2, Hollow Knight, Final Fantasy VIII, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Ratchet & Clank 2, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and, most recently, Elden Ring. Pretty all over the place in terms of genre, I have to admit lol. There were a lot more FF and Zelda titles on the list (hence my username), but they've fallen away one by one.

[@coconutologist]

Thanks for the video. I think one of mine is that you reviewed a few years ago, and that is Triangle Strategy. I get why people don't like it, but I keep finding myself going back to it. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@davidludwig7501]

Some of my all-time favorite games are. Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Mass Effect Trilogy, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eatter, Dead Space, Arkanes Prey, and Skyrim with mods of course.

[@globmonkey200716102]

What did you enjoy about Elden Ring more than any of the Dark Souls trilogy? Genuine question. Its a fine game, but the biggest difference for me was the open world, which I found extremely lackluster. There wasn't really anything interesting to find in the open world and so after a while it just felt tedious to ride around in and made me miss the tight level design of the Dark Souls games that you still got a taste of with the legacy dungeons. Felt like a lot of missed opportunity, and the overreliance on repeat boss fights for the side content was pretty lame too. For these reasons I am genuinely curious what about it puts it above its predecessors in your eyes.

[@davidludwig7501]

@globmonkey200716102 the open world was my favorite part. The way the world seemlessly ties together is amazing. The sheer beauty of everything. The vistas and landscapes. I wanted explore everything I could. I combed over everything I could. I sunk over 200 hours in my first playthrough. The amount of items and weapons and armor sets to find are what I like finding. The sheer freedom in the game is remarkable. I somehow found myself in The Siofra River well really early on and was just amazed at everything I kept finding. Always something new. I'm still waiting on Bloodborne to return or get a pc launch. That game holds a special place in my heart as well. But Elden, for me, is my favorite game of all time.

[@Joshuaraymalan]

This is why I love your channel. We have very similar tastes.

You got yourself a new subscriber! Loved this video!

[@travishartzler9155]

I got Pathfinder WOTR on Xbox and haven't even figured out how to get out of character creation. Never used a controller before BG3, but that only took a few minutes to get started. But after 20+ minutes with WOTR, I surrendered to my failed INT check and gave up. Maybe I'll get my kid to learn it so he can show me how to play.

[@adrianjuarez1162]

He does have a new players guide on his channel.

My Top 10 Games of All Time -Dragon Quest 11 -Mortal Kombat Deception -Skyrim -Final Fantasy 12 -Divinity Original Sin 2 -Baldur's Gate 3 -Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen -Kingdom Hearts 2 -Diablo 3 -Borderlands 2

[@richpena8597]

Love the channel and the video, thank you!

[@polishlinks]

Divinity 2's progression system is such an elegant way to give players hundreds or classes/sub classes in a digestible package. Love WOTR, but the freedom of character creation and classes system in DoS2 is something that I hope becomes more prominent in CRPGs (granted, ones based on ttrpg will be more restricted).

[@iago9711]

The atmosphere of oblivion is truly special. Its a beautiful and bright and sunny world that I will happily explore again and again.

[@MrWazzietje]

I grew up with Morrowind, Baldurs gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo. And when I heard Larian Studios was behind the helm for BG3, as a Belgian and Divine Divinity fan, I was so stoked for that game. The only time I actually bought a game in early access, and I am happy for them it was a huge succes. Now if beyond good and evil 2 would finally release and be actually great, I can die a happy man.

[@portylad4]

Really great video, Mortim. The anecdote about your dad was genuinely very touching… and weirdly, so was finding out that BG3 paid for your house? It’s a great game and definitely in my personal top 3 of all time- even without it funding my mortgage 😂. I’m glad such a great game also was such a windfall for you!

[@dogegaming9036]

As someone who also loves Diablo 2, you should really check out project diablo 2, it’s probably the best mod I’ve ever played and feels like a natural extension of the base game
