The Lost Art of Unlockable Content

[@ohwowthx]

I watched the whole video without realizing how small your channel is. This is some quality content you deserve more attention

[@spencwa]

I appreciate that! Thanks for the watch! Expect more soon!

Anyone who uses soundtrack from the first Ty game earns an easy sub in my book! Great video!

[@spencwa]

@@Doomguy-ut9nf A fellow man of culture I see! I absolutely love Ty’s music! 😁

[@SameerSid]

Great vid! For future ones, id recommend turning the music down a bit, cause a couple of times it was hard to hear you over it. You captured my feelings on this topic really well!

[@spencwa]

I appreciate the tip, next time I will do an additional audio pass for easier listening! ☺️ Glad you enjoyed!

[@ABDuck3633]

Was about to mention the same comment exactly! Great content, amazing structure, but the editing needs slight sharpening I believe.. 1. Music too loud from 3rd minute onwards 2. The Bitmoji sometimes disturbed the gameplay watched while listening :) I recommend using calmer music such as those used my Asumsaus, for example. I believe this channel will grow and become a great content creation hub! 🔥

DNF Duel had a character locked behind completing story mode. It was a cool idea, but in reality it just became a headache at tournaments and locals keeping track of which setups had him, and which setups needed him. That's kind of the issue with unlockable content, and if it's major enough it will cut both ways and it's just not realistic to ask TO's to speedrun unlocks on multiple setups just to have working copies of the game.

Didn’t realize I’m your 26th subscriber this is really good content

@@ever7359 thank you so much! I appreciate the support 😊

Brilliant work! Content at this level is gaurenteed to catch fire!

Love the new png tuber angle. Can tell you had fun with the edits 👍

I unlocked most of Melee's cast playing sudden death mode with two controllers on Fountain of Dreams using Kirby's dash attack lol. Gotta give credit to cheat code central when that website was relevant. Years later I used the Master Hand glitch to beat some of the challenge missions to unlock Final Destination. I wonder if you knew you could play as Master Hand haha

[@spencwa]

I’ve never done it myself, but I have seen that it is possible to play as Master Hand! And yeah, if we ever had to reset our progress, we would unlock characters in a similar way after discovering that as well 😂

Ultimate Chicken Horse is another multiplayer game that did unlockable content well! And in online games anyone can unlock new content, not just the host.

[@BeanoNintendo]

I know part of the issue with fighting game unlockables is that they can make multi-system tournament set-ups annoying as every console or memory card will need to have all content unlocked. However I think the solution to this is simply to have a cheat code that auto-unlocks all content. That way the people who need everything unlocked right away won't have to wait and those that want to be rewarded for their time and effort can still experience dev-intended unlocks

[@Mystic-Aidan]

It’s really all or nothing with video game unlockables nowadays. To use two similar examples, dragon Ball FighterZ got a lot of flack for only locking Android 21 (the only original character) behind the lackluster story mode, while dragon ball sparking zero locked 80% of the roster behind unlockables and got tons of praise for it. You can’t really make half steps anymore, devs have to decide all unlockables or nothing at all. It’s kind of sad.

[@BenHoffmann-c6n]

Im a bit torn. As much as i do miss the gratification of oldstyle unlockables, i do at times appreciate games being subsidized by those willing to shell out more money on cosmetics. The greed tactics can be frustratingly annoying at times, though ill agree. I wonder if the industry would be in a better position if there were more mid level studios and maybe less overall? Theyre the ones able to take creative risks with moderate levels of capital. Instead of the current model where the behemeoths stick to their tried and true flagships and the small indies spring up everywhere in the cracks trying to find just a small niche to gain traction.

[@SPTX.]

No compromise. I either get the full experience for the normal (base) price, or I pirate it.

[@ThePillowGamer]

What’s the point of unlockable content when you can just charge people for it instead? Edit: spelling

[@fortisch]

Its still there. Unlockable with your Wallet.

[@BthIX]

Ultimate is the better game by a gigantic margin

[@dominokos]

Why are all the gameplay videos so low-res?
