I hate early access because today it's just me paying extra to get the game on time. They have the game ready, it's good to go, but I have to pay an additional $30 to play it before it's "official" release date.

Loved that skit.

Man, fuck that grappling hook!

Hope you've been well, keep up the great videos as always!

Great vid! Also, all the source point acquisition quests in act 2 are morally gray, often having to do something awful to complete them.

im am moral till i cant fight a boss, if that happended i just come back to the town and kill everything that have exp

phenomenal video, and the music... Compliments it.

Grounded preview on to the full game...

I feel like the way you could do the revive system could be a prison break and, like the shadow of war, they learn your gadgets so if you frequently use batarangs or use stealth that enemy will be more away of that type of attack. if you mentioned this in ur vid my fault im 4 mins in rn but i just want to share my views 🦇

Imagine if a Star war game had a nemsis system? Your a jedi during the time of the sith empire running around liberating planets using a mix of droid or human troops and the way you get other jedi is by either freeing them, turning a sith or even finding childrens in the worlds you vist! Let alone a batman game EVERY game should have some form of a nemsis system as it would just work to well with regular gameplay

An interactive movie would be like the tell tale games or Detroit Become Human, where the choices you make are the gameplay and leads to each gamer having a personalized unique experience. Hellblade 2 doesn’t even have that. Calling this a video game at all is a stretch as there’s so little interactivity that actually matters

It's got plenty of substance, but you need to have a functioning brain and some level of emotional intelligence to appreciate it

Stardock even does this crap! Sins II looks great but this early access ruins the experience for me. And sometimes I can't enjoy it because it's not the full game which in return makes me really think twice before I buy something like this again. So the lesson here is to not buy it until the damn thing fully gets released. I wish these companies would learn but we all know they won't.

Its a tech demon

I mean to be fair, Hellblade does have a semblance of a gameplay: It has puzzle and combat, but not so much for a world interactivity. I'd argue that rather than an interactive movie, Hellblade is more of a middle ground between a movie and a game. It has been like that since the first game. A lot of games does this too, especially in indie space, where they focuses more on the story rather than the gameplay, making it more of an interactive movie rather than a game, and it has been an endless discussion too since over a decade ago: Could you consider walking simulator as a game? But I your point is more of this: rather than the gameplay itself, I think it's more about the price point, 60 USD is rather a hefty price for a walking simulator.

Found a great channel

Tired of these games that lack any real depth

Great video as always. Keep up the good work.

The first game was very similar. Really beautiful and atmospheric, but I didn't even end up finishing it because I got bored a few chapters in.

It looks like they are not even doing something wild with the level of realism they can achieve, it's just nice landscapes and sunsets. Horror games might be crazy in the future tho

good video

Early access needs to be made 100% refundable following full release with a further 3 months following full release. This would stop a lot of abandonware and cash grab scams! Devs are only part of the problem. The platforms that allow this behavior are equally responsible for these activities!

"standard fantasy game" with elves? The elves in DOS literally eat body parts from dead people to absorb their memories and relive moments before their death. That is insane creativity, far from standard.

People working in Q.A. are GETTING paid for testing. So why should I PAY to be a beta tester? Makes no sense to me.

It sucks that a company can stay in early access for as long as they want to do as much or little work as they want, if any.

i've only got one playthrough, and it's with a friend on tactician mode. In the beginning, I wanted to avoid thievery, just purchasing and working for all the items that you need, but quickly realized that tactician difficulty would not let me maintain that moral standpoint, and that we would need every spellbook, scroll, grenade, or weapon that we could get our hands on in order to gain an advantage (especially in act 1). Now, we have a character or two at max thievery at all times so that when we meet a new trader, we can just rob them blind in the name of gearing up.

my biggest issue which you touched on briefly is the fact that some early access games change so drastically in development that the final product is so dissimilar and features you've come to appreciate get cut. I know it's a hot take but at a certain point I went from loving the very early access version of Dead Cells to downright hating the full bloated version it's come to be today. at one point it was a very tight linear roguelike with a satisfying boss but now it's a massive branching, grindy, and overly difficult game with the way full boss cell mode works. yeah it's a great game for those who like it but the version I played and enjoyed is basically impossible to experience now so I haven't touched the game in years.

My thoughts of a nemesis system for a Batman Arkham style game would have the war chiefs be the supervillains with you doing their respective side missions to then lure them out and then take them to Arkham. Maybe we could then use your idea of randomized supervillains and have a thug take up the mantle somehow of each villain or just take up their business until their boss eventually returns

Let me explain your experience of league. Eventually you will put a lot of time learning said game. You will get good and it will become addicting to win. 3 out of 5 games you will have a troll. Say this statistic is smaller but Id argue it's bigger. If they aren't a troll they are litterally an AI the game put in to help wait timers. After 20 mins of this game you will want to quit but can't because said feeders on your team won't sur. You will than be forced into do I waste my life or quit. Should you not perform to the fullest you will eventually get account banned. Or should you run into leagues amazingly salty community that just reports to show how their days going you will eventually get account banned. Now you're left with create a new account or do what you should have done a long time ago delete the game. Please save a step people. Not saying league isn't fun it has its moments but riot is a terrible company and the community is considered the worst community in all video games. Why put this negativity in your life?

You should put out "Early Access" YT videos. You still get paid, but you are immune from criticism because "hey, it's early access, I told you it wasn't finished".

buy early access games? I don't even know how to do that and I don't wanna wait until 2026 for it to release

I've played mass effect legendery edition from a month or so and it became my favorite game so I just want more mass effect that's why I'm hesitant about Andromeda

Completely agree! Keep up the videos, you have a knack for speaking lol

A lot of the new paradox interactive games are getting major bug fixes a year (Example: CK3, but not really bug fix as much as content) (or longer in Imperator’s case) after main launch.

You could get a pair of permanent wings from the Lucian Statue...in act 4. You expect me to behave during that much time? I be killing "innocent" people ever since the tutorial deck LOL

Just go back to demos that actually work

Completely agree! Great video! :D

I have my games on patreon when in development but it doesnt get enough audience feedback and members supporting. So I am thinking of putting some games on early access

"You are not the chosen one." Thank liberty for that. That trope is so overused it's mind numbing.

If it costs money: Call it early access and face reviews. Good and bad. If it doesn't cost money: Call it open beta and don't worry about reviews until release. This is how it is and how it should be. There's no other alternative. Otherwise companies are free to con customers left and right. Depending on the pricing the reviewers should NOT account for whether it's an early access or full release game.

ahh yes, the dance dance combos.. brought to you by the same lunatics that brought you magika........... and am ok with this. I have outriders.. must have got it in a humble pack or something.. not played it.. duno anyone who does :(

if your game is expected to be played by the public, and older than a year, then it should NOT be called ''EARLY'' access, its just exploiting peoples nostalgia of when they bought early-access titles to see how rough around the edges games can be, and the freedom they had in them,

Rise in popularity also means rise in toxic shitheads in the game unfortunately. It happens every time a game becomes successful.

still some jerks kicked me out for nothing, just because i don't have mic😂

Its only fair to be an un-named because your character basically gets replaced by a different person in the span of the game so we are all same expendable soldiers and undistinguised gender so all of that pronouns or gender is not important but only liberty and democracy

Even if you dont participate in the Major order you will recieve the rewards the next time you log on. That is so cool if you go away or dont have time for the game.

Outriders… omg I wish they didn’t mess it up. I really enjoyed it 😥

No matter how badly the game is made, it can still be fun! But, a lot of that fun is going to be based on the people you’re playing with. You know, to help you not focus on how badly the game was made.

How is this video not more popular???? You need way more recognition bro

What I like the most is that the game doesn't feel like a part time job or a chore. So many games I go into and I just immediately think "Holy crap, this looks like a pain in the butt." And then when I bring it up, people just say you have to "Grind to get to the good part." Why should I slog through 20 hours of busywork to get to "the good part?"
