    Great video dude, I am glad YT recommended this video to me you got a new sub. I can relate to this very much man. Earlier you could just download and launch any game to have fun. Now you gotta download, make some account then some tutorial that tells you about the micro transactions in-game and even RNG and gacha mechanics. True the games look more polished now but sometimes it feels too much.

      Thanks man! And yeah I agree, I feel like a bit of that spirit lives on in indie games today. But I don't think we can ever truely go back. Not to mention people expectations for games are simply to high now...

    Kitten Cannon, Curveball (the first real aim trainer), Mini putt to name a few. Addicting games Armorgames Miniclip Pogo to name a few of the sites of the time. A lot of these are actually still running today. Just our expectation for the quality of games has gone up I think. There were also the first sort of instances of real world advertising creeping in to games. I distinctly remember spending a lot of time playing the Lifesavers mini golf game. Was a really solid mini golf game, the only advertising was branding on the maps and lifesaver colored golf balls. Just the start of something advertising took and ran too far with.

    I still have the poster of the G-man that came in the box for half life 2. No matter where I've lived when I set up my computer room it's one of the 1st posters to go on the wall. I learned that it's actually worth quite a bit of money on eBay because it's unlike any of the other posters of the G-man you can buy.

    I see a whole lot of gamers complain about "oh another BR" or "BR is dead/so sick of BR." But BR is such a good genre because it makes people actually use team work and play strategically and tactically. BRs have morphed into more of big open TDMS with respawns. We need a NEW BR that is grounded, slow, big maps, tactical. A rebirth of a Pubg style BR before it got all corny with k pop skins

    The Problem with most modern games. Intellect, the brains, the intelligence of the average human populace has stagnated for about a decade now and that stagnation has evolved into degradation. Tick tock, the Woke feminazi Cult in Hollywood/media , the lack of creativity,testosterone, imagination and deep intellectual thought are all signs that the human race as a species has already peaked and the intellectual gap between commoners and more developed minds are becoming a vast chasm. Thus the primitive brain of the ''modern human'' thrives only on power,money,food, sex and self worship. The peak of gaming to me is: Thief : The Dark Project, the Metal Age & Deadly Shadows Skyrim Witcher 2 + 3 Fallout NV Assassins Creed 1 & 2 & Brotherhood Metro series Far cry 1 & 2 Age of Empires DE 1 & 2 & 3 Call of Duty 1 & 2 and MW 1 + 2 + World at War. Brothers in Arms. Battlefield 1 + Battlefield Vietnam + BF 3 + BF 4 Medal of Honour Pacific assault. + Medal of Honour 2010 Amnesia Rising Storm Vietnam Delta Force: Black Hawk Down CP 2077 Outer Wilds Ghost of Tsushima Il 2- Combat Flight Sim series Games with rich narratives, that challenges you,that champions masculine men, forces you to think and survive, that ask deep and challenging questions of the players. Compared to the propaganda infested media of mainstream entertainment, braindead excrement shat out by the woke feminazi cult such as Fifa shit, fortnite,Overwatch fortnit,fortnite legends,fortnit DC, concord fortnit ,minecraft,Cringe Borderlands,CoD Vanguard,bfVoke, bf2042 redfall,saitns row,Forspoken,Skull and Bones, Dustborn Forspoken,FC New Dawn,AC Syndicate , AC Viking Hype Train, and Not Star Wars; Outlaws... (The woke cult and their modern corporate writers have the minds of vindictive children. ) When Woke feminazi cultist propaganda enters any form of media, the quality of writing, immersion, creativity, imagination and world building deteriorates drastically. The Woke feminazi cult is avian nocturnal mammal guano insane. These older , less played games are Odysseys, filled with inspiration and imagination, feel, nuance and depth. They are visionary, they are true pieces of art. I do hope and pray we will slowly move back to the quality of writing we had during the apex of intellectual writing a decade ago. Greed + Mobile games + any excrement with a title that includes the word ‘’Legends’’ + c..nts of the footbaal cult + the Woke feminazi cult = the most decrepit scum in all of gaming. It's a sickness. May the repulsive Woke feminazi cult be burnt to the ground. ruclips.net/video/YmCKZmLP5ZY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/B0fE2T0dlHU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4AXq4qz4Kx0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IITTGOcXFoI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/7zxgN9l2CtI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/dSqlfdqDCAg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/CxMZfwqJD7E/видео.html ruclips.net/video/CEO8C9fEqCc/видео.html

    It makes me sad that nobody mentions Player Unknown’s Battle Royale, which was a popular Mod in Arma 2 and 3.. that he did before moving onto working on H1Z1. And PUBG. Dude was responsible for and very involved with 4 of the first big pushes in battle royale. It’s also important to note that Fortnite was initially a coop story style mode where you fought zombie monsters with friends. And after the success of PUBG they completely changed directions and made the BR mode and everyone forgot Fortnite was initially something else entirely. But still… player unknown and his mods in Arma deserve so much credit. My biggest issue with modern BR is they are moving further and further away from what makes a BR. Initially it was more hunger game style… where you’re this lone person, scared, facing a bunch of other people. It wasn’t about killing but about surviving as long as you could. Like you’d do if you were in that position in the first place. Now it’s got all sorts of powers and crazy weapons and abilities. So much about movement and being fast. Rather than how it was originally about being quiet sneaky and tactical. Now it seems like the gameplay that used to be associated with BR, have transitioned into the extraction shooter genre. Like Tarkov. Hunt. Delta force. These slow paced. Methodical. Tactical styles of gameplay are what BR was initially. And it’s so hard to find that experience today. Which is sad. PUBG is the purest BR we still have. And it’s sad to see games moving further and further from it. Warzone 1 was closer to that. When it was great. But they keep moving further and further from it. I honestly think if they made a Warzone mode with no loadouts. No illstreaks or power ups of any kinds. Just weapons and attachments, where everything was based on ground loot. It would be a huge hit and give people the vibes they want. It’s just sad to see the way so many games have taken the BR mode and made it into an arena shooter on a larger map. And true BR’s are all but extinct now. It’s a sad day for player unknown and BR lovers.

    I'm on the wrong side of 50 and I still dive into Fortnite now and again, it started off as a game with my nephews but now I play the solo "No Build" mode mainly, it's the style I like....I'm crap at building to be honest. I also power up APEX, not as much as I used to but it still gets a play through a few times a month, bizarrely I still get notifications from H1Z1 which I haven't played in probably 4 years and even more strange I still get updates for Cuisine Royale which I played about 10x on the PS4 5 or 6 years ago. :-D But my still to go to BR game is PUBG, it might be empty half the time but It's still the best imo.

    br made a lot of people realize they suck at gaming. that's why all the premade fps games starting popping up, to give bad players a chance to group up and take out better solo players. fps gaming is for betas these days. There are only a few games left where a solo can make a difference with his skill left.

    Super well put together script and video. Keep up the awesome work. Little channels can still grow in 2024. If I can critique anything strictly as a viewer, it would be a slightly smaller camera, maybe. I haven't made anything myself, so I could be dead wrong, but just a thought from seeing others' content. Cheers, though, and keep making content.
