I get a strong Jackal vibe, but on crack

@@Knossig ohhhh jackal.... That's a deeper cut. You just got me on that one.

It is! Fits nicely in the "mindless fun" category.

I picked up Luftrausers and Jet Lancer shortly after posting this, actually. Gotta love a good Steam sale.

Unfortunately, Brandon Sanderson isn't credited as a writer on this. 😆

Again, you're far too generous. I just endorse the games I enjoy.

@@Knossig but that's the point. You endorse the games that you enjoy which means your response and your reviews are genuine. People can use your opinion and know they will get something that's completely honest and genuine. They know that they won't be dealing with a shill that was paid off to kiss their ass like a lot of big name reviewers.

Why thank you! I really do appreciate the feedback. I'm still newish to these types of videos, so I'm trying to build my scripting and editing skills and be more comfortable with my delivery. I will continue to work and improve. 😁

Funny, I thought I was 🙂

I did get the "good ending," though none of them were considered canon at the time. With the fourth game coming out, I expect that's going to change. Still - she didn't go through the complete Witcher training (just a bit during Witcher 3) or the Trial or Grasses. The lore changes might not matter to some people (and that's fine), but it matters to me.

Okay. Thank you for your feedback.

I appreciate your reply. My journey was a bit different. I didn't start reading the books until after I played the games. I enjoyed seeing Geralt in a fatherly role, but my interest in the book series waned when he became less of a focus in it. I did enjoy seeing Ciri develop her agency towards the end of the book series and in Witcher 3, and although I thought the trailer was fine, it was just not what I was expecting. All the people complaining about her appearance? That's their prerogative, but I think it's a shallow complaint. I'm mainly looking for a good story, but I have my doubts. However, the goodwill that I have for the franchise is the reason I'm going to maintain something of an open mind.

Hello Z.Freezy. Thank you for your response. I'm going to address these in-line. > Right off the bat to say that this is lacking in substance for a teaser trailer for a game that isn’t out is odd to me, this is the time that is normally taken to give a glimpse at what’s to come, they shouldn’t have to give you everything about what the story is or what the character’s motivations are this early in the marketing. - To me, the teaser trailer is going to determine my level of investment in a game. At this point in the marketing, I'm looking for something I can hook onto so that I'll CONTINUE to be interested in this going forward. I'm not looking for "everything," as you say; I'm just looking for "enough." I mostly got a sense of the style and aesthetic they're going for. That's not enough of a hook for me. >I also think the nitpicking about how much time was spent showing the information that they did want to share was kind of pointless because I feel like it doesn’t determine how well made the trailer was, sure if you felt like you would’ve just done it differently that would be one thing but you made it seem like a bad thing when I feel like it doesn’t really mean anything. - Are you talking about the board? I didn't nitpick about the time spent on that. But addressing the rest of your sentence, I had many other reasons why I didn't think it was a well-made trailer. I also have many ideas for how I would improve this trailer, but I didn't feel it was necessary to include that in the video. > I think not liking the style of the game is fair, I personally dig it but I understand that sort of thing is subjective so if that’s not your thing then that’s all good. - I didn't comment on the style of game at all. I'm generally genre-agnostic. I'd LOVE a good sci-fi game - that's part of what makes this so frustrating. I don't think this will be it. > I also think your were kind of unfair in your opinion of Jordon, I don’t want to make assumptions about you because I do not know you and when I say what I’m about to say, it was not meant to describe you, however some of your language when describing her felt a little problematic for me, for example your distain for her coming off as cocky and immature seems silly considering there are many male characters that behave that way and many people enjoy that about them, (such as Nathan Drake in the early Uncharted games) now if you universally don’t like characters like that, then fair enough you can disregard this part. - I don't hold any prejudice towards BP. I judged this trailer on its own merit. I'm generally not a fan of Mary Sues and, while I don't know if BP is going to be like that, I also haven't seen any sign that they won't. That's a concern. > I also take issue with your description of her face in the later part of the trailer is expressionless, considering the history of people describing asian faces as such. I don’t expect you to know that, I actually just learned of that myself, but I think it was just a poor read of her emoting as I had no issue reading the expressions she was making despite her not having more Eurocentric features. - Okay. You want to indulge me, then? Because I have no idea what I'm supposed to get from them when they're leaned back in their chair with their arms over their head. Bored Confident? Also, while I'm glad you learned something, be careful - you're coming awfully close to making assumptions about me that might be inappropriate. > Overall I feel that the nitpicking, unfair conclusions on Jordon as a character and the bits of world building that they gave, as well as the harsh language used to describe the trailer such as calling it dogshit were unfounded and overblown for a game that you yourself said gives nothing for you to understand about it. - I NEVER called the trailer "dogshit." I used a clip of Mike Stoklasa from RLM to say it was a "giant, GIANT, pile of shit." Again, my issue is how poorly the trailer made use of its time because, as an audience member, I do not appreciate my time being wasted. The trailer either needed to be shorter (and there's lots that you can cut), or be better paced. I don't know if you're assuming that I went into this trailer with the intention of hating it; I didn't. I'm frustrated in part because I can see the potential for a space-based bounty hunting game to be great and I'm worried that potential will be squandered. Again, thanks for your comment.

@@Knossig Thank you for taking the time to address my thoughts, I would like to clarify a few things you mentioned, when I was saying you were nitpicking about the time spent on some of the information shown I mostly meant in the beginning when you were counting the seconds it took to translate the text and show the scenery of the planet and the broken moon, I’m sure you meant it to express how more time could’ve been saved in the trailer but I think it gave me the idea you were watching it in bad faith because you mentioned something that I suppose I find sort of arbitrary, but we can agree to disagree in that regard. I also want to make it clear as I did say this in my original comment that I do not intend to make any assumptions about your character however it’s more that the language you used when talking about her has been used by ignorant people. As for how I read her expressions at the end, I believe she was nervous, considering that we learn that where she was going is dangerous and no one ever comes back I saw that she was afraid to go but knew she had to in order to save her friend. Also you’re right you didn’t specifically say anything good or bad about the style, you only pointed out the 80s stylized outro, I think I took that as also a bad thing in your eyes since you didn’t seem to like much else in the trailer. And finally the part of calling it dogshit, I admit I was paraphrasing the clip you used but I had to assume that’s how you felt considering you used it while making your arguments for why this wasn’t s good trailer. All in all I’m not looking to change your mind about how you feel about the game at this point, we can absolutely disagree on that, I think I just couldn’t get behind the ways you were expressing your frustrations for the game was all.

Which indie trailers did you like?

Logical? lol I was a bit more frustrated than usual. Not a big fan of having my time wasted.

@Knossig true but you still are a very intelligent person who gives his logical reasoning that I have to acknowledge

The sense of character that I got from BP was thoroughly unpleasant. I wouldn't want to know that person in real life. If they'd just given them a few seconds to stare at their reflection, maybe have them remember a conversation, panicked voices during a battle, SOMETHING - it would have given them a bit more character and wouldn't have eaten up much more time. All sizzle, no steak.

Thanks for your reply! Honestly, I get tired of hearing the same buzzwords too. I wanted to judge this trailer on its own merit (or lack thereof). I'm wary of any remakes being made right now. In a lot of cases, they seem to lack the soul of the originals.

My first time playing through, I didn't even know about the caravan and missed out on the crafting completely. Crafting felt a little empty, but I can't quite put my finger on why. What do you think was missing? I do like the idea of members of your caravan levelling up and unlocking new recipes - that isn't something I've seen too much of before.

Thank you very much! Games like this make it easy.

@ I completely agree. I may be biased because I voiced it but I genuinely believe the script the score and the animation are stunning and pulls you in

Thanks for the recommendation! Saw that and Salt and Sanctuary, too. There were more games in this mixed genre than I thought.

@@Knossig Salt & Sanctuary is much better and more authentic. I'd recommend to focus on this one.

Yes, you are correct. Didn't realize that at the time, but I saw a clip on reddit that backs you up. Thank you!

Man, this just made my day. 😃 Glad you liked it!

I have a very good reason for not doing that. I didn't know about it. 🙄

Oh man The number of times I looked at chat and immediately died 😆

Still got two more to find, but we'll get there. We've got the other playthrough going, then Zero's. Then break.

@@Knossig hey man, idc what anyone says.... You deserve that hiatus. You have made a good solid run so far like a Netflix anime series and you deserve a season finale of sorts to clear your mind and come back because honestly, you will definitely need it before you attempt the remaining X games. That is a promise!! You will see what I mean later, my Padawan 😈

No - and now that I think about it, I'm having a hard time thinking of another boss that moves like him in the Megaman X series. Between that and the level design, this might actually be one of my favorite boss fights in the series.

@@Knossig I'm analyzing things in my mind like Knossig and the two that come close... Hahahahaha I said come close... That I can think of would be Bubble Crab and Crush Crawfish. They get in your grill almost as bad as Squidward's cousin.

They're goblins, apparently. The art style makes them look like stuffed toys, though (merch opportunity? I know the dev already sells hoodies) But cute as they are, they're lethal

@@Knossig they look and sound like ewoks mixed with the sand people that killed Anakin's mom. But duely noted, they are build a bear rejects 😂from hell

Good! 🤣 And thanks. I'm going to have nightmares about that fucking purple square of fuckery.
