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 show a better grasp of English in this small comment than so many people I know in the Midwest US.

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!

[@jmc3179]

Same here. I was just thinking about how much I like Mortismal way of commenting and storytelling in his videos.

[@anzolomyer4584]

Pleasantly surprised by Cyberpunk 2077. After watching the anime, I bought that game and LIVED THERE for months. And they really went all-out with all the different endings too. Incredible game and world.

[@montanastranger]

Same. I can't put my finger on exactly why I love the game. I just end up spending hours wandering around the world and living in it.

[@t.t6294]

RPG wise it's still very lackluster but the writing and characters are fantastic. 2.0's skill system and gameplay are great too

[@Cpeerson2000]

@@t.t6294 But with 2.0 comes some of the worst level scaling in any game though. Killing Arasaka big bots at level 2 just makes the latter parts of the game seem meh.

[@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.

[@sorceproject]

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.

[@naramoro]

Incredible art direction as well

[@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.

[@dannyinthemiddle969]

Don't sell yourself short, Mort. Your hard work paid off that house. BG3 brought the viewers, but you are the one who kept them(us) coming back.

[@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?

[@HASH280689]

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 😆

[@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]

Flat earth and theological differences be dammed call the old man up to play some games , we don’t have forever

[@bigzachful]

Your gonna really let beliefs come between the love mad friendship between yall two? That’s the man that raised you. Your dad is right actually about believing in a Creator.

[@negimaaddict742]

The best FF game.

[@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.

I love that FF12 is one of your favs because of the time spent with your dad. He sounds like a great dad and I’m glad appreciate him so much.

[@MortismalGaming]

I mean just having a PC at all wasn't guaranteed at that time. I remember when tablets started coming out and my high school teachers acting like it was this insane technological achievement, and that wasn't even twenty years ago lol.

[@sinisasub85]

@@MortismalGaming Most of my teachers at that time didn't even know what a PC is. :D

[@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.

[@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.

[@kruxxme5372]

I love how open and honest you are dude; it's rare, and I respect it.

[@b1thearchitect401]

modern, fully updated Cyberpunk with the amazing DLC is one of the greatest games ever made, glad to see it bounce back the way it did

[@IAm.Messmer.Brother.Of.Malenia]

genuinely shocked to see cyberpunk on here but for all the right reasons. i love that game to death congrats to being a homeowner!

[@BrooklynSquirrel]

Oblivion is also my favorite elder scrolls game and I really get that feeling of being lost in it. Whenever I'd talk about it with my friends it was like this endless magical game that I could play forever. I'll always love oblivion lol I try to play it once a year.

[@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.

[@BrooklynSquirrel]

@@marcosdheleno the beauty about that tho and is another thing about oblivion I love is that you can just mod it and fix that lol I spent a lot of time learning how to mod oblivion growing up lol

[@dudea3378]

The Dark Brotherhood storyline in Oblivion is one of the best of all time.

[@willis9421]

Jesus dude that was a heavy origin story drop hidden in there. Glad you’re doing good despite it all

[@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.

[@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]

FF7, Halo 1, Zelda ocarina of time, BG1

[@EM-vw7im]

My list a little simular to yours, NwN1, Dragon Age series, Mass effect 2, FF Tactics, Ff13s, Homm4. Honestly have a bunch more (old and new) that could switch spots in my list

[@venthier3093]

another great example for the gabit system is unicorn overlord, spent hours optimizing each party and it felt great

Finally someone who gives Final Fantasy XII the recognizition it deserves.

[@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)

[@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.

[@ReaLEthA]

Videos like this are the reason I’m subscribed. Feel the same exact way about Oblivion. I remember staying home from school when both my parents were at work just to play it.

Divinity Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 are the best RPGs ever made 👌 Cyberpunk is great too.

Those will always be some of my favorite childhood memories

[@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).

[@willrun4fun]

I agree with you on Cyberpunk and Oblivion. Cyberpunk had a hell off a redemption arc. Such a great game now, though it also was back in 1.6 when I first played it as well. My personal list is hard to nail down. Depends on my mood :D RDR2, Cyberpunk, Minecraft, Skyrim, Oblivion, New Vegas, Stardew Valley. That covers the main ones.

[@--jefree--]

I also loved Cyberpunk from release, I saw something in the game that no other had really given me its strange. Definitely a top 5 for me. So many genuine moments in the story.

[@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!

[@matilhathehunter9537]

Loved the frank, matter-of-factly, way you speak on this video, friend, specially about the house and the adoption. Amazing job. :)

[@SoulessTwo]

Glad to hear that Baldurs Gate 3 went so well for you. I found your channel when i was looking for BG1 and BG2 guides in preperation for the BG3 release a few months prior. :- D They helped alot and i loved BG1 and BG2. Really glad that i played them for the first time before the release. I really struggeled at first since i never got warm with CRPG before in the past. But then it clicked and i had a blast! Which lead to alot of other crpg. :- ) You paid a big part in that, so thank you!

I've got WOTR in my library waiting to be played, and I'm quite hyped up to play it eventually, mainly due to your channel bigging it up so much. However, I'm just coming to the end of Baldur's Gate 3, which has taken me about 8-9 months (on and off, been playing other things in that time too), so might take a bit of a break before venturing into another massively long game!

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.

@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.

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

Great list ! Many of those are also my favourites. Thank you Mort for an entertaining video and I'll also be sad when we no longer have any WOTR content.

No way, I was literally wishing you had one of these videos yesterday.

I'm a long-time gamer and I really enjoyed your commentary of your favorite games. From watching some of your previous videos, I had a good idea of what some of your choices would be. ☺

My favorite games would be 1. XCOM 2 - War of the Chosen. 2. Divinity Original Sin, both original and enhanced. 3. Divinity Original Sin 2 (the only thing I've ever supported on Kickstarter). 4. Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT edition. 5. Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. 6. The Riftbreaker. 7. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Honestly I'm not even sure about the rankings, only that X2 is at the top.
