Why I Don't Review Games

[@MortismalGaming]

It's an honor to hear one of the developers behind many of my favorite games enjoys my reviews. Thank you!

[@MinecraftMartin]

I freaking knew he was going to list your channel. It's not luck.

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

@@MinecraftMartin It is luck, like everything else in life.

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

​@@MinecraftMartin P.S. You should think about it for a while to understand. Nothing happens without chance or luck.

[@MinecraftMartin]

@@TrueNeutralEvGenius Sorry, but no. This one is all done by work and research. Luck doesn't create that kind of content on a consistent schedule. Go back to Tim's remarks. He didn't say, "Here's a random channel I found by chance." That's not how it works.

[@Alex.Holland]

Congrats.

[@MattBarton]

Thanks for the kind words, Tim! You're the best. By the way, if you have recommendations or suggestions for who else would be a great guest for my show, please let me know! I'd love to hear them.☺

[@pitchforker3304]

Matt Chat videos are awesome. I didn't know there was one with Tim Cain, I'll have to watch that!

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

Cheers, Matt.

[@CainOnGames]

I would love for you to have Jason Anderson as a guest, because he’d have so many stories. But he tends to avoid interviews.

[@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968]

Have you had Mark Darrah on?

[@boldman888]

@@CainOnGames Jason would be AMAZING. I have trying put my eyes on an interview of him for ages without success. I bet he could add very insightful info about Bloodlines, for example.

[@developerdeveloper67]

I think it's normal that game developers try to avoid to giving harsh critiques of other developer's games. The reason for that is that when you put years of work and often suffering to "give birth" to a game, you know what is it like, and it feels personal when other developer that know exactly what you have gone through comes forward and kinda trashes your game. It's even worse if it is someone you respect doing that, and as you can imagine Tim is someone a lot of developers would respect.

[@NubileReptile]

I remember an interview with one of the developers of Disco Elysium in which he explicitly says that, having now made a game of his own, he finds it nearly impossible to criticize others people's games. Because he now knows firsthand just how _hard_ making a game really is.

[@SeasoningTheObese]

I find it wild video games are the only industry people can come together and make a legitimate, objective piece of garbage, and everyone is supposed to play nice after paying a premium up front, then more for a season pass, then more for content that was cut to sell back. It's absurd. Look at Diablo 4. 9 out of 10 because the reviewers played nowhere near enough to get a full grasp of the game. "Near perfect endgame" says IGN, meanwhile everyone playing it says it's it's barely half a step better than 3, which had one of the worst end games of all time. An industry practically built on robbery at this point, and everyone is supposed to be nice to the thieves.

[@pepegon7997]

Not critiquing mobile messes of a games is not something people would want time to waste on, labeling some "games" - "games" is just straight up licking corporative investors asses. You will just get fired and people will stop contracting you. Remember the chris avelonne backlash, they probably did it to him just because he tried to speak up about current game trends. Its not hard for big companies to erase you from spotlight using dirty methods, so if you want to stay in industry you better keep it quiet and agree with everything they say.

[@coffeebreakhero3743]

@@NubileReptile that's a very poor argument. I'm most critical of the things I love and understand.

[@thinkmore8024]

@@SeasoningTheObese The comment talked about devs criticizing devs, imagine you paint a collection of paintings for 3 years and Michelangelo himself comes and tell you your paintings suc, how would you feel? lol. of course gamers are expected to say what they think of the game, good or bad. Every dev has to have a thick skin.

[@ErikKain]

Thanks so much for the shout out, Tim! And who knows? We might be related . . . Cheers!

[@_jared]

Tim, I'm honored. Thank you for the kind words.

[@anotherthing]

I remember Tim Cain once saying, "Dungeon Siege is great. Now if only someone would make a game with it." That's probably the most concise review of Dungeon Siege ever put to words.

[@somasatori9117]

Quinn's Ideas is such an awesome channel! I'm going to check out the others, thanks for the recommendations!

[@unacomn]

Matt Barton has absolutely one of the best channels on this site. His interview series is spectacular, covering all sorts of facets of game development. Some of my favorites are the interviews with George Sanger, who did the music for a bunch of origin titles. Expect to learn a lot about gaming history from there.

[@terrylandess6072]

As a 'retired' musician whom was school taught and invested much time in groups over the years, I feel you. It's very hard for me to listen to music without analyzing it. To that end I mostly find enjoyment in the music and songs of my past which influenced me to learn before I had the grasp of the industry and overall 'experience' any musician must engage in.

[@gargamellenoir8460]

The reasons why you said you'd be a bad reviewer are exactly why we would be delighted to hear your opinions. But if you don't feel like it, that's the end of the discussion.

[@warhawk7128]

From a small-time designer, glad to see you're posting these videos! We're definitely on the same wavelength about pulling games apart while playing them. In fact modding is how I got into the business in the first place. Fun times.

[@D3metric]

Ive spent hours listening to you and Mark Darrah. Honestly we have enough people reviewing & streaming games. But someone with your backgrounds sharing tbat experience. Thats priceless. As always, thanks for taking time to put this together.

[@wszczebrzeszyn]

Matt Barton's chat is a real gem, nice of you to mention it.

[@cmmmmmmmw]

I can relate to this. After years of writing and editing, I immediately see errors and creative mistakes in other peoples' writing, but it's also a good thing as a consumer of content. It's a sign you shouldn't be wasting your time with B-tier art. Because there is great stuff out there that doesn't have glaring flaws and that you can actually enjoy.

[@kmieciu4ever]

2:32 Ready player one feels like it was written and made by people who only heard about online games but never actually played them ;-)

[@lennysmileyface]

Yeah I found it so super surface level with the references. Putting a way to make money would just fill the metaverse with bots and scammers.

[@TomatoFlames651]

Hi Tim, you've got a really interesting channel going here. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! While it's not quite the same as being a game developer, I spent a long time working as a manager in the theme park world. Even though it's been well over a decade since I left the industry, I still can't enjoy a park in any way close to the way I did before. I get your point with analyzing *everything* when trying to enjoy an entertainment product that you used to help produce. Thanks again so much for sharing!

[@aleksanderstromfors183]

Matt Barton is so sympathetic. Great shutout. As for the reviewers, who do really do they homework, MandaloreGaming is always informative and entertaining. However, MrEdders123 is criminally underrated (albeit newish) reviewer, who is just incredible. Not only is he 100% thorough about the current gameplay experience for the games he reviews, without any stupid gimmicks. But he covers the context and situation that game was made back in the day, how was it received by press and general audiences. Also, if there's a modding scene alive, sometimes tries to contact devs from those games for comments and clarifications. Plus, he also does some more obscure but interesting games, not just the big names.

[@andrewlong9799]

Tim I can not stress how much I love this channel and what you are doing. Every day I wake up and get to listen to your insights. Wishing you the best!

[@zc8673]

I'm a little sad we'll have to wait for your The Outer Worlds commentary because I've fallen in love with the game, but it's completely understandable and makes me even more excited for both the game and the video when it does come out!

[@foghornfoggyface]

6:55 I know you don't want to name names Tim but I feel so sure you're referring to the "Idiot Savant" perk in Fallout 4 in this remark hahaha

[@WSS_the_OG]

I've never reviewed a game either, except with friends, over a few beers. I will review the game I know of yours. It is ... fantastic. Just took one word. Much love to you, and your legacy, Timothy Cain. You are a forever friend, even though we have never met.

[@Broski_Nation]

I feel you Tim. After going to college for Game Art and Design get like that when I see bad textures on a character, prop etc in a game. Bad Diffuse Map, inaccurate specular map on metal surfaces. The list goes on! It distracts me in an annoying way. Great vid man!

[@sandwich2473]

I feel you with the halo TV series :P I was excited for it when I was reading about it in magazines back in 2006 but definitely not when it came out for real 👀 In regards to not being able to not analyse media that you've been working on for years, I'm the same with music, and I know artists who are the same with art, and my brother is the same with 3D models in seeing flaws or really clever ways to solve particular problems It's the sign of an active, creative mind :o

[@Mario-pq9bi]

Thanks for the channel recommendtations. I immediately felt in love with Kain. I would not have found him otherwise!

[@lukecwolf]

As I've grown older, I've come to a personal conclusion that a lot of bad games seem to be due to company pressure or creators who are too young or stuck up to take feedback. It's a frustrating trend among media like TV too, where you put years of effort only to have something trashed. It really occured to me this year when I watched a longplay of 007 Quantum of Solace. Not a very good game, but the developer commented that they wanted to make it good. And it really could have been gold. You know what it feels like as a developer. I respect Tim a lot for understanding what other creators go through and naming all the creators here. It really helps me appreciate the work even more.

[@xensan76]

Second your recommendation for Matt Barton, Mortismal Gaming, and Quinn's Ideas. Great taste. Will check out the others!

[@wodensol5000]

As a writer I'm 100% there with the critiquing. I watch films and I'm constantly thinking how oh that dialogue was great or doing it that was good or it was crap etc, or seeing the foreshadowing/patterns and guessing half the movie. It takes out the enjoyment to an extent because are brains are so switched on to pick up things outside the area of intentional enjoyment

[@Jewelsmith]

You are absolutely right about not being able to enjoy books the way I used to when I was young. I've been a professional writer since the 80s and an editor since the 90s. It is so difficult to read other people's work for enjoyment and turn off those parts of my brain. Even in video games, my brain is always picking out the typos.

[@alex62965]

I feel the same as you do when you play games but with music. Ive been playing instruments ever since i was 8 and been creating music for 7 years now and its hard to not evaluate every song you hear harshly.

[@JP-nh3jo]

I've been watching Matt's videos for over a decade. In fact, the first one I ever saw was his interview with you. A truly delightful channel!

[@tehtonym]

Man, despite all the evil the internet has wrought, it's so fuckin' cool getting to hear such a legendary person's regular thoughts.

[@zaccaustin]

Niiiice I've been watching Matt Barton since like 2012. He's the reason I ended up playing Might and Magic 6, and Wizardry 8.

[@LazarSutilovic]

It's a tiny bit unfortunate that we won't get to hear you deconstruct or critique games in that way, since it would've been super interesting to hear your thought process and how you would do things differently, but it's also completely understandable and admirable to see you respect fellow devs in that way.

[@pepegon7997]

I really hope for advanced combat encounters, full blown arena shooter monster variety with dynamic arenas and at least some ways to test your character perk destribution, weapon choice. The only encounter that was imprinted in my mind after playing outer worlds was probably space monkeys from felix's sidequest moon and thats it. Kamikazi enemies, annoying dodging enemies, sneaky chameleon like enemies you wont notice until other enemies damaged you as they only attack you if you were weakened.

[@rohitchaoji]

What you said early on in the video reminded me of a martial arts and mma coach who said on a youtube video that ever since he got serious about combat sports, he could not enjoy action films anymore because he would look at a flashy, nicely choreographed fight scene and think "that is not how it would actually happen".

[@SystemOfStrings]

I found Tim's channel from his cameo on How to Drink, so the mention of that channel here was quite a delight!

[@TorQueMoD]

When you're talking about people who can't see past the grey box phase, I can't stand it when people have no imagination for what something will become. I have encountered this so many times where I'm excited about something and I want to share it with someone else, but it's not finished yet, and they can't get over the fact that it's not finished, or they try to critique the visuals after I just said it's not complete. So frustrating!

[@andrearovenski]

honestly i feel the same way about new games and old games. once i started making them, it got hard to add new games to my "playlist"

[@megazord5696]

Hello Tim! Thanks for the recommendation on Jared Henderson's channel, is helping me a lot!

[@ZiggyMeister]

Quinn’s channel is great! I went there for GoT lore and stayed for the rest!

[@TrashVinyl]

Great video! It’s interesting to hear you mention Mortismal Gaming. I also watch his channel, I do appreciate the fact that he plays a game until completion before doing a review. However, I sometimes feel that his reviews are so un-opinionated and matter of fact that they come more off as a synopsis of the game rather than a review.

[@jacoblloyd2573]

Kneejerk: He has too much clout and skin in the game to compromise an expert opinion

[@AndreasSelzer]

You are right about Voting with our Wallets! Most corporations do not listen to feedback, only your cash.

[@PointReflex]

The problem with that is the fact that there is no culture or international agreement between consumers. The main reason behind the industry going "anti-consumer" in its policies (if you don't belive me, read the "conditions" you have to agree in order to buy or play their games) is mostly because people still pre-order digital games, still go on full regalia for the season passew, still pay 70 dollars for a game filled with micro transactions and most importantly, still value names, characters and sparkles over the policies behind those pieces of software. I'll give ya one example: people is broken because how Overwatch 2 turned out to be, saying that the first game was awesome and this one is just a scam, while at launch (and to be honest, for more than a year after it) the gam was barren, overpriced and filled with lootboxes. Same goes for Cyberpunk 2077, it is by all definitions a scam, still a lot of consumer value more their experiences than reality to the point that a broken mess that violated almost every consumer protection policy, ends up been regarded as good and enjoyable. Unless the consumers help themselves to build a "wall of separation" between their feelings and their rights as consumers, there wont be a change in the industry since there isnt a consistent, strong and majoritary demand for quality and respect from the people who are intented to be the end users. Right now, a bunch of shareholders have more relevance than 30 million people, this once again is the fault of the consumers because at the moment of truth, when shots had to be fired, they backed down.

[@Tattlebot]

They won't listen to cash either. Most Westerners are busy fighting over insane moral beliefs. This means that skilled, mentally independent people are shut out from the creative sector. Furthermore, the shows and games become vehicles for the fight. Producing them becomes an exercise in loyalty. It doesn't matter if everyone becomes a hive mind and gets every purchasing decision 100% correct. The result will be that consoles stop being made, most studios shut down, and all that's left are sports games, genshin impact, and app store plankton.

[@deffdepth824]

Quinn's Ideas is such a great channel.

[@beccangavin]

I also pull apart every piece of media I consume: books, video games, shows and movies. For me, it’s part of what is entertaining about the media. The bonus being that I can frequently derive some sort of value even from bad media.

[@TheOneBearded]

Ayyy, Mortismal and Quinn getting a Tim Cain shoutout.

[@scottland906]

Just found Mortismal Gaming the other week. I really like his reviews, they aren't overly drawn out, and it's very clear that he's experienced all the game has to offer as opposed to B-lining the main story so he can slap out a review before other KZbinrs. His channel is not about that..

[@RandalReid]

Dude's a beast. He 100% games and a lot of those aren't the 8 hours and you're done kind of deal. He do a lot strategies and CRPGs.

[@FuzzyFiend]

Mortismal is definitely on the right track with his 100% policy, but I always felt that his reviews are kind of shallow considering the time he spends playing these games. When it comes to retro reviews where I'm not looking for a buy recommendation I'd rather watch long form deep dive video essays.

[@puckcanuck6396]

[@actionboy3221]

Was the sound effect the idiot savant perk sound from FO4? Lol I hated that sound

[@thesuperawesomeaarpong]

I have the exact same experience when playing video games now. I can't help but think about every part of the game from a game designer perspective. However I think it actually makes me a better reviewer. As I'm able to give a Unique perspective which not many people can give. This different way of looking at games can help other game devs develop better games. Game reviewers don't have to review games from a consumer point of view exclusively. I think you would do great as game reviewer for game devs to learn from.

[@hpph7133]

Quinn is fantastic and has clued me on to other books since I loved the original Dune series. I also enjoy FD Signifier's insight on some media that struck me a little odd and he explains things fantastically

[@kasper-jw2441]

yeah, that sounds really familiar to me and i bet to a lot of creatives. I am a music producer, and how more i produce the less i listen to music, i can not enjoy music like other people anymore since you gonna start analyzing it and you hear everything in layers instead of one piece. I only can listen to a piece when i have no idea how they created it, but this doesn't happen a lot.

[@zaddyzeeseburgnutz]

How to Drink is an awesome channel, been watching him for years and I only have a local beer like once every couple months.

[@Knight1029]

Oddly enough a lot of the way yoi view games is how I see them as well. I can't help but think, "What if that happened? Or that?" For me that brings me a lot of joy just thinking on ways something could be better or different.

[@theamazingbatboy]

Good call. It must be difficult to separate the professional craft from the critique. It would be truly incredible to see Kubrick review Barbenheimer; but ultimately you'd probably wind up learning more about Kubrick and his process than the films he was analyzing. Interested to hear what older classics you enjoy/have loved when you decompress though.

[@nerdzone]

I think I am very good at playing "graybox" games. Even when I play regular games, I often feel like playing a graybox, totally not paying attention to the visuals and singling on certain mechanics and things. When I made my own board game it seems that I was one of the very few people that was able to internalize what's going on with it until a lot of art and assets were put into place. Sad thing I am not in VG development. It might have made a good skill.

In an ideal world, I’d get to see you do a Fallout: New Vegas playthrough! But I get it’s not the purpose of the channel etc. etc. I’m just glad we get videos at all. I would’ve never thought of this channel existing if I was asked a year ago.

[@flamingburitto]

How do you break down games when analysing them from a design point of view? So one thing I've been trying to do these days is whenever I play a new game I break it down into parts done well, not done well, and how I would improve the parts not done well. I actually play every game twice because of this. First time is more of a enjoyment playthrough and second time is more analytical. But I'm wondering if there are things I can do to improve this process or get a new process entirely to break down games and their design.

[@SyndicateOperative]

I admire your professionalism. Many people abandon it when the allure of fame and attention is offered.

[@midnightzero3760]

hes quickly become one of my fav youtubers

[@Pedone_Rosso]

That happens while playing games even when your area of expertise isn't games at all (same with any entertainment/fiction, really). My own example is The Last of Us. I'm a Biologist, and that ruined the crucial "moral dilemma" crafted at the end of that game, which I otherwise loved all the way through. The idea that they wanted to literally kill the one and only known human who's immune to the pathogen that destroyed society and killed billions, made my own version of Joel act on pure rage in the final stretch, no dilemma at all. The whole scenario fell flat for me, as well as Ellie's nonsense when later she happens to know how things went down. (Still love the game, but the sequel being based on a followup of the same concept contributed in making TLoU2 not good for me...) I guess sometimes suspension of disbelief is just impossible, depending on your specific cultural upbringing. Thanks for your videos!

[@opiliones4202]

I know you said you dont want to play games on the channel but it would be cool to see you briefly (1-2 videos) play your own projects or games from the past that you believe are "perfect." I imagine it would be hard for a longtime filmmaker to watch chinatown or appcalypse now or rear window and still feel the need to refine them. Maybe there are some games out there that you truly believe cannot be improved upon? For example, i have been replaying deus ex 1 and while the UI is clunky, for a veteran player its amazing how seamlessly all of the different playstyles and skills mesh alongside the freedom of the sandbox-y world. Player choice in story is sidelined entirely in favor of player choice in gameplay and it just comes together so brilliantly. And im really not sure some games like DX1 or fallout 1 have truly been surpassed like the way these games almost became the culmination of the genre up to that point. I think there are some masterpieces that are so uniquely creative that even critique cant "spoil" them

[@NubileReptile]

I also frequently check in on Mortismal and Quinn's Ideas. Back when he was Ideas of Ice and Fire, Quinn was one of the voices articulating many of my own gripes about the direction Game of Thrones was taking well before people piled on the bandwagon in the last two seasons. I assume you've watched an hbomberguy video game review before, right? He doesn't do them very often, but when he does they're super in-depth and very well done.

[@antijulius]

It'll never sit right with me that Noah Gervais gets zero attention from industry people. Literally the best living writer on games who built his channel on Tim's work, and he doesn't know who he is lmao

[@ProfJimbles]

Glad you brought Noah up; he’s my absolute favourite. I don’t know if Tim will have time to check out Noah’s epic works… But the landscapes of Fallout could very well bring a tear to Tim’s eye due to the sheer enthusiasm and and appreciation for Tim and the team’s work.

[@Zowimir]

I totally get it. As someone who was doing translation, when I watch something that has subtitles, and was translated from English to my mother tongue (Polish), I think whether or not the translator chose the best words to convey the meaning.

[@LandBark]

Well, let's talk about game you worked on...Tyranny! Anything worth mentioning about that unique game? Did you gave some input on story or easter eggs? Do you think remaster/remake of Arcanum on that engine (and their wonderful magic system) would look great? Do you think it's better to watch review before playing or rather after? (after for me).

[@LandBark]

Also, I do think your let's play with this "game developer" commentary would be interesting, although not very nice for its developers.

I understand and I'm not expecting any reviews, but still, I'd love to hear your thoughts on all of the Fallout games since you are the creator of the series and could provide a lot of insight.
