@rng gamer I still loved Fallout 4 even with some of its technical issue. I look at it as more than an fps, it’s more of an action rpg. The big draw of the game is it’s story, and it’s environmental storytelling and really takes more than 5 hours to really appreciate that. I love the option of VATS because you can roll your hits based on your stats and gear but it’s totally skippable if it’s not your thing. If you are facing a ton of enemies it can be fun to plan out your attacks then watch them unfold in an action ballet. The game isn’t perfect, and just may not be your thing. If you like post apocalyptic stylish designed worlds it’s one of the game series plenty of others aimed to emulate. If you’re sick of the setting it just may not be the game for you.
I can totally see how someone would love it. I put a ton of time into Fallout 3 (I think I got every achievement), and I found it to be pretty forgettable and uninteresting. I have Fallout: New Vegas in the backlog, and if I don't like it, then I'll know the series just isn't for me. Thank you for your comment. I always appreciate thr insight of others.
It is so funny! When I was probably 9 yrs old, I borrowed my cousins game gear for a week and played whatever game was in it. It was the Sonic Chaos! You just reminded me of this even happening in my life 😂. Great videos!
Sonic Chaos! Blast from the past - though I had it for the master system. I got the game for my birthday and I thought my brother had faked the box with a pretend cover initially as I didn't beleive i had it. Yeah, It's not a particually great sonic game, I remember it feeling different to play from the others, but it's kind of a rose-tinted nostalgia game for me - so it was good to be reminded of it!
Another great video. Fun to hear your takes on all these games. You’re very good at explaining the high and low points, and your points are well-reasoned. I had a 3DO system back in the 90s. I did not have Escape From Monster Manor. But I enjoyed some of the other games, like the pack-in “Crash and Burn.” There were issues with the core gameplay and movement. But I liked the concept of a combat racer. And in the days before the Wipeout series, this served the idea well enough for me. And of course, the 3DO version of Road Rash was very nicely done. Especially the licensed soundtrack, which oddly was confined to the menus. All that said, Star Control II was quite the epic game - and I think the 3DO release was the only console version. As for the Atari collection, my thoughts are very similar to yours. I actually grew up with the 2600 as a kid, in the pre-NES era, and even I struggle to replay most of the early console titles. Though there are some standouts as you said. And third parties like Activision and Imagic certainly had some great releases, though not included here.
Thank you for the wonderful comment! I really enjoy the 3DO and just purchased a few more games for it. I've still never played all the way through crash and burn... I actually don't even own it. Thanks for saying I'm good at explaining things. All of my videos are unscripted, and it's all off-the-cuff with just a few notes. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.
For what it’s worth - a similar form of extemporaneous speaking is a central part of my job, also typically based on notes, an outline, or bullet points. But in my case, it’s in the context of dialogue with clients or co-workers, rather than a video per se. To me, it comes down to thoroughly understanding the content. Ultimately, the notes are mainly there as a framework for the conversation, and to remind me what to cover. I still recall - Crash and Burn has some ultra-cheesy FMV bits in the character select screen. Totally over the top, but the very inclusion of filmed segments was pretty remarkable for its time. Granted, I had already seen something similar on a few Sega CD titles. But this had more colors on-screen, and looked like actual people! In ridiculous costumes! Haha.

I beat Lollipop Chainsaw recently, and it was my first Suda51 game. Killer7 has been in my backlog for a while now and based on your time with the game I will be playing it next! Fallout 4 was the most lackluster of the series for me (I have not/will not play 76). I will say modding it on my PC made it much more enjoyable, but the base game was underwhelming. I was aware of Sonic Chaos thanks to our database haha great video as always!
Thanks for watching, as always. Hopefully, you like Killer7. It's not going to be what everyone is looking for. But, if you love that sort of game, you're not going to find anything like it anywhere else
The first two Bayonetta games are two of my all-time favorites, but Bayonetta 3 was such a disappointment. I got at least Platinums on all chapters in the first two games (not good enough to try for all Pure Platinums!), but with 3 I just played through it once without bothering to try for good medals and I was done. Also, the Bayonetta Origins thing was just a different way to put out a demo, no need to play it to finish Bayo 3! It actually wasn't even there in the game when it first came out. Also, glad you enjoyed Killer7, such a great and strange game!
After Bayonetta 1, I just played through parts 2 and 3 once. For some reason, I just didn't feel like playing them a second time. Killer 7 really was amazing. It was one of the top 10 games I played in 2023
@@RNGGamerYT Shame Bayo 2 didn't grab you the same way as the first. It certainly did for me! I really need to play Killer7 again. I played it wen it first came out on GameCube and I've since bought it on Steam, but haven't gotten around to replaying it yet. I only wish I enjoyed Suda's other games as much as Killer7. None of them have really done it for me, unfortunately.
@FearItself187 I've enjoyed all of suda51's games in some way. But, none were as good as killer 7. I'm not sure why Bayonetta 2 didn't grab me as much. Maybe it's cause it was on the Wii U

I actually just beat a game on my backlog early this morning. I finished Shining Force Exa which whoa love the game but the final boss requires a crapton of grinding and upgrading certains skills and needing of certain items in order to actually stand a chance of beating it.
Hey RNG. I love your channel. The production and content quality is great and I really hope the algorithm gives you more love because your work deserves it. That's how I stumbled on you so hopefully that sub count continues to tick up. I've been going through your catalog and now the backlog videos and this is the first one that I've had a major disagreement on, that being Fallout 4. I think it's mainly due to just personal preferences, as many of the things you listed that you don't like about Fallout games, I do enjoy, like the dialog, saving and trying various things to see how different scenarios play out etc. But I think you hit on the most important point - it's a Bethesda game and they ship buggy messes with bad UIs that have to be cleaned up by mod makers. Any Bethesda game is going to be far more enjoyable on PC and heavily modded, I wouldn't play any of them on console as a huge fan of their games. Also, even among Bethesda enjoyers FO4 doesn't have a great reputation, but I actually thought it was really good and probably plowed a good 150 hours into it. Anyway, back to watching the rest of your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks so much! I am thrilled that you're enjoying the channel. I hope the algorithm helps me out, too. 😁 I know I'm in the minority on Fallout 4. But I try to be honest with everyone. It really isn't for me. There's a bit of worry knowing that people are going to be upset with you for not loving the same games they do. Of course, there are a lot of people in the comments talking about how they felt all alone because no one felt the same as them, and it was nice to see someone else with the same issues they had. I'm sure it's much better on PC. I really do appreciate you going back and watching those old videos!
I've always had gameplay footage on the game review videos! I would love to have it on every video... but there are only so many hours in the day. Thanks for liking the video!
Imagine playing one game on release, putting it down, then picking it up 20 years later and finally beating it off your original save. You realized you were already at the final boss when you put it down years ago and never finished it.. That was me with The Legend of Dragoon. I remembered specifically never beating it either all those years ago because I started getting into my PS2 that was newly released around that time. Sadly, the boss was easy lol.
Haha, that's amazing! I rarely go back to my original save files because I have a hard time remembering everything. But, it's incredible that you were at the last boss!
@@RNGGamerYT I had zero clue back then where I even was...whether or not I was at the final boss. I didn't realize where I specifically was until I actually beat the game haha.
Fan of your channel! I like that you actually play your games, lol, different from strictly collecting which I typically see. Funny you played through Sonic Chaos for Game Gear, I recently picked up a Game Gear and also a small group of games including that one at a yard sale. I wanted a Game Gear so bad when I was a kid, when you have a green and black Gameboy and see a full color Game Gear, it doesn't seem to compare. Killer 7 looks pretty awesome, I may need to try that one. Your gameplay of Fallout 4 actually makes me want to play it, lol, I have only played through Fallout 3 and I never beat it though.
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Yeah, I try not to buy anything that I don't want to play. I'm more of a gamer than a collector. You may really love Fallout 4. Give it a shot! Congrats on finding a Game Gear in the wild. That's a rare occurrence these days.
is there like a app you use for the random games to be picked? cause now im myself at a point i have lots of games i just never played and i can't pick most of the time haha
I have a huge spreadsheet that's organized in several categories. I use random.org to pick games from those categories. As far as I know, there is no app that does what I need so far. I'm working with a developer called gameshelf, and he's implemented some of my ideas into his app. But, it's so complicated and niche that I'm not sure who would want to do all of my crazy randomness.
Sonic Chaos was not the first Sonic game made 'Just for handhelds'! The game was made for the Sega Master System and ported to /released at the same time as the Game Gear version (as so many Game Gears were). The first Sonic Game made specifically for handhelds was Sonic Advance (Game Bay Advance) released almost ten years after Sonic Chaos AND the first Sonic game to appear on a handheld was the original Sonic The Hedgehog in 1991. Just thought I offer that correction :)
Well... according to Wikipedia, it WAS the first original sonic game developed for a handheld. That's what it was designed to be. They may have developed the Master System game in tandem with it, but it was produced for the Game Gear 😁
It sounds like the Fallout series is just not something you are into. Understandable. I played through the whole game and all the DLC. Must have spent a year or more just playing that game. You can switch to 3rd person view- which I prefer. And the game really opens up when you get the power armour upgrades and start building communities. I did not have many glitch issues, but I play slow and methodical like I assume one would do in a very dangerous post-apocalypse world. I found it interesting- like in other Bethesda games, how the world interacts without you. For example I was crouched in stealth one time and a Deathclaw walked right by me and tore apart a raider settlement. I mopped up afterwards and just felt the living breathing environment was unique. This happens even more often when you build settlements and they get attacked as you open up more of the game an align with factions. Also, the side stories are very interesting- each companion has a side story you can work through and in the end they are more effective in battle. Then the radio opens up more side stories and you eventually find out what has happened to every other vault in the wasteland. Of that attention to detail and in depth lore is what makes the Fallout series so effective. Cheers.
Fallout isn't for me! It took two decades to realize it. I enjoyed reading your comment and seeing the way you approached things. It's way different mindset to the way I think and want to play a game. When you said that you discover side missions from the radio, most people would find that sense of discovery intriguing. I find it stressful because what if I miss it?
My friend and I have been watching your channel for a couple days now. A great find. I find your game mindset interesting as well, because it is very different than both of ours. I feel stifled by linear games. I don't care for SHMUPS (save for Ikaruga-that was awesome) and I do not like FPS games. But I can play adventure games for years. I spent nearly 2 years playing Skyrim. The I played Fallout 76 for 2-3 years as well. I love open world games and creating my own path. Whereas my friend loves emotionally engaging games with a great story and character development (Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption). Anyhow, loving your content and we are going through your backlog of backlog reviews :D Cheers!
my brothers favorite games are the bethesda fallouts annnnnd yeah idk they all just feel like lesser elder scrolls games to me lol, honestly prefer the original turn based fallout games. 4 i've played the least and ; the first 3 hours of the game i somehow managed to pick a direction where i encountered zero people, zero towns, and when i finally did it was a town of just sentry bots lol. i'd also played the xbone version and picked some silly mods for shits and gigggles : completely broke my save by installing a 'terminator companion' mod that unless you read the fine print, spawns in an unkillable enemy every 10 minutes making the game pretty much impossible to explore. also yeah the biggest problem with the prior bethesda games was the jilted conversation system, so on paper having a dynamic camera during the conversations seems like a gigantic improvement until you realize the dialog options are dumbed down, your characters have no personality, and it just looks awful. like the conversations in mass effect 1 look leagues ahead of whats going on in fallout 4 lol.
Tbh I like to pretend that Bayonetta's 3 story isn't canon, because, seriously, it's so disrespectful to the story set by 1 and 2 that it's not even funny 💀(Or, perhaps it's funny because of that?)
Try it on the Master System because you see more of the level on screen and I think it runs a bit smoother. I beat it in the mid 90s after renting it from a friend.
Great video. Bayonetta 3 was a huge disappointment definately. For all the reasons you mentioned and the combat being focused around summoning massive beasts. This meant the camera was usually zoomed way out and combat felt designed around that mechanic, not as fluid as it was before. I spent more time staring at my summoned beast's ass then seeing what my character was doing. There was some clunky platforming and sub par side scrolling stages as well and alot of filler as you said. It really didnt hold up visually either. Really enjoyed the first 2 games. Could never get into bethesda games, unless Doom 2016 and the newer Wolfenstein games are part of that developer. I think bethesda probably just published those games. The games they made were super clunky and wooden feeling with no real passion or personality. All of them. Loved Dishonored 2 and the expansion, but not sure if they actually made those directly. Skyrim,Oblivion and Fallout series I found super boring with shit combat. Tried to get into them. Beat Skyrim and Oblivion but it was a slog. I saw my friend get overpowered and do some hilarious looking, glitchy shit, but as far as the main gameplay I found it very mundane. Very simple shitty combat in the Oblivion and Skyrim games too. A little better in Fallout but not by much. Sonic Chaos looks like alot of blind jumps and slower platforming, which I always thought defeated the purpose and killed the pacing of the sonic games. The first game had this problem and some of the others. Freedom Planet is a newer series which mostly got the pacing right, as did Sonic Mania. Multiple paths through a stage so you never really hit a dead end, just keep moving. Triple Trouble was one of the few Game Gear games I completed and I remember that one being pretty solid for the platform. Playing random games and beating them sounds TOUGH but very cool concept. Do you ever post up any of your playthroughs or add commentary? Still catching up. That Atari 50 seemed really well put together, with all the extra content. I checked it out briefly through Switch emulation while picking out some of the easy kills.
Dude! Thanks for going back and watching some of my other videos. I really appreciate it. Those games you mentioned above were developed by other companies and published by Bethesda. That's probably why we liked them more than Fallout and Skyrim. It seems like we have very similar tastes in games. I have only had a newer computer for capturing gameplay footage for about 6 months. So, a lot of these videos, I just captured the minimum to save harddrive space. However, I have been recording some of my recent live streams. I've started editing the latest one down into a highlight reel. So, that will be like watching me play an entire game. Other than that, I have some 1CC shmups vids for my member exclusive videos. I tried doing some gameplay videos when I first started up the channel, but people weren't really into them.
No problem. I appreciate you putting out the content. Great presentation and alot of detail in your videos. Its good to see someone not going along with the games that are supposed to be good. It shows that the channel is genuine. Alot of channels parrot eachother on here. I tried Starfield and it was more of the same shit. I dont plan to go back to that one either. Right. The HDD space can get pretty expensive too. I capture everything I play these days, so it adds up. Nice. I usually check out live stream content when its later posted to RUclips since my routine is all over the place. That makes sense. Its very different when youre trying to grow the channel versus using it as more of a journal or gameplay video back up.@@RNGGamerYT
@theconsolekiller7113 Thanks for watching my live streams. Yeah, I only do this channel because I love games and want to share them with everyone. I'm not afraid of sharing my real feelings about a game. But, I try to stay positive.
If you thought Fallout 4 was glitchy when you played it, imagine what it was like Day 1 lol it was pretty bad, but some of the glitches were hilarious. If you play Bethesda games, it helps to find some humor in the glitches. Fo4 wasn't as good as Fallout 3 or New Vegas, though. I reserved Fallout 4 and was so excited for it, but ended up abandoning the game faster than any Bethesda game I've ever played. There were many little details I didn't like that added up to it being my least favorite Fallout game, such as the change in art direction and the overall tone (you mentioned how you enjoyed the introduction of color into 4, but I actually prefer the gloomy palette of 3). I think what actually made me give up on 4 were the Minutemen events--all that drove me crazy. Looking back, Fallout 4 is a huge reason why I believe the 8th console generation is the most disappointing console generation of all time. And it doesn't sound like you were a big fan of Fallout 3, but it was huge in 2008: ambitious FPS RPG for its time, back when open-world games weren't a cliché. Fo3 had more flexibility than other games, and even Fo4 as well--you could make more decisions and do more things that would otherwise be forbidden in 4. Fallout 3 offered so much that other games didn't back then, and I really believe a big part of why a game like Fallout 4 doesn't deliver like the Bethesda games before it is because a lot of developers have integrated open-world and RPG elements into so many games that we've all played since to the point that there's nothing special about those elements anymore. K7 has been on my list for some time now, but after hearing you emphasize how strange it is, I'm having reservations. The older I get, the less patience I have for weird stuff haha. I do appreciate the heads-up on that!
I'm sure Fallout 4 was a complete disaster when it first came out. I couldn't have handled it 😅 I actually played Fallout 3 when it was the hot new thing. I might have actually played it on release day or close to it. I enjoyed it, but not as much as a lot of other people did. I think when people hear me say I wasn't the biggest fan of something that they think I'm bashing it or saying, it's terrible. It's not that at all. At the time, so many people were saying it was the greatest game they'd ever played... best game of all time. Those sorts of comments. I thought it was like an 8/10. Very good, but not the best of all time. And compared to Oblivion, I didn't think it was even in the same ballpark. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment!
@@RNGGamerYT The funniest glitch on Fallout 4's release was this long awkward pause between dialogue: the characters would just stand and stare at each other. I remember people hating it, but it made me lmao because the timing was usually excellent. And hey, an 8/10 is still great for Fallout 3! I totally understand if Bethesda games aren't your cup of tea, though. I think we've all got games we don't prefer as much as others--can't think of any specific ones right now, but I could easily rant about modern games in general lol You put a lot of thought into your content, and us viewers appreciate that! Cheers, RNG!
As a fallout fan I didn't like Fallout 4 lol. Then again I'm a bit of an old head who just wishes fallout would go back to being turn based. (New vegas is pretty good though)
The first 8-Bit Sonics (Sonic and Sonic 2) are different from the Genesis games. The first one shares 2 level names, but even level designs are different. Sonic 2 8-Bit is totally different. Neither are great, IMO, but don't play Sonic 2's GG version. The screen crunch makes a challenging game nearly unplayable. Master System version is a bit easier to play, but not great. Triple Trouble is best, but the 16-bit remake is better, still.
Im glad im not the only one that could not get into Fallout 4 buddy "I also played it on the Xbox". Strange because i loved Fallout 3 and i did all the DLC for it too. Not sure what it was about 4 i only played it for about 2 hour's and i was done. I have tryed to go back to it about 2 or 3 time's but nope lol Don't like it and im not sure why hahaha.
Bayonetta 3 was a complete mess...problem is the zoomers seem to love that and Astral Chain (also rubbish). The days of Bayonetta 1 and Vanquish are gone
I loved vanquish! No one ever mentions it anymore. I've had a lot of people on here mention that they love Astral Chain, and only a small portion of my viewers are under 30. Maybe it's more devisive than I thought!
btw, rename the atari video to something more evergreen man! many will be searching for a video just like yours, but it won't easily show up without an SEO optimized title.
@@RNGGamerYT "Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration - Gameplay & Review for Every Game [Timestamped]" I'd work around this template, basically the closer you can get to the official game title helps a lot (unless its too long, like in this case xD) It also looks like no one has done the same with timestamps, you got the game titles there, so might help to timestamp them too! of course this is general advice on evergreen content, atari 50 is definitely not a "best seller" video, but it is still a piece of evergreen content, that could generate views for decades, instead of weeks or months!

Hey RNG. I love your channel. The production and content quality is great and I really hope the algorithm gives you more love because your work deserves it. That's how I stumbled on you so hopefully that sub count continues to tick up.
I've been going through your catalog and now the backlog videos and this is the first one that I've had a major disagreement on, that being Fallout 4. I think it's mainly due to just personal preferences, as many of the things you listed that you don't like about Fallout games, I do enjoy, like the dialog, saving and trying various things to see how different scenarios play out etc. But I think you hit on the most important point - it's a Bethesda game and they ship buggy messes with bad UIs that have to be cleaned up by mod makers. Any Bethesda game is going to be far more enjoyable on PC and heavily modded, I wouldn't play any of them on console as a huge fan of their games. Also, even among Bethesda enjoyers FO4 doesn't have a great reputation, but I actually thought it was really good and probably plowed a good 150 hours into it.
Anyway, back to watching the rest of your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks so much! I am thrilled that you're enjoying the channel. I hope the algorithm helps me out, too. 😁
I know I'm in the minority on Fallout 4. But I try to be honest with everyone. It really isn't for me. There's a bit of worry knowing that people are going to be upset with you for not loving the same games they do. Of course, there are a lot of people in the comments talking about how they felt all alone because no one felt the same as them, and it was nice to see someone else with the same issues they had.
I'm sure it's much better on PC.
I really do appreciate you going back and watching those old videos!
Awesome video!!
You have gameplay footage now.....love it, man!!! 😎👍!!!
I've always had gameplay footage on the game review videos! I would love to have it on every video... but there are only so many hours in the day. Thanks for liking the video!
Imagine playing one game on release, putting it down, then picking it up 20 years later and finally beating it off your original save. You realized you were already at the final boss when you put it down years ago and never finished it.. That was me with The Legend of Dragoon. I remembered specifically never beating it either all those years ago because I started getting into my PS2 that was newly released around that time. Sadly, the boss was easy lol.
Haha, that's amazing! I rarely go back to my original save files because I have a hard time remembering everything. But, it's incredible that you were at the last boss!
@@RNGGamerYT I had zero clue back then where I even was...whether or not I was at the final boss. I didn't realize where I specifically was until I actually beat the game haha.
@@Tenchi10 that's a great story. Thanks for sharing!
Fan of your channel! I like that you actually play your games, lol, different from strictly collecting which I typically see. Funny you played through Sonic Chaos for Game Gear, I recently picked up a Game Gear and also a small group of games including that one at a yard sale. I wanted a Game Gear so bad when I was a kid, when you have a green and black Gameboy and see a full color Game Gear, it doesn't seem to compare. Killer 7 looks pretty awesome, I may need to try that one. Your gameplay of Fallout 4 actually makes me want to play it, lol, I have only played through Fallout 3 and I never beat it though.
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Yeah, I try not to buy anything that I don't want to play. I'm more of a gamer than a collector.
You may really love Fallout 4. Give it a shot!
Congrats on finding a Game Gear in the wild. That's a rare occurrence these days.
is there like a app you use for the random games to be picked? cause now im myself at a point i have lots of games i just never played and i can't pick most of the time haha
I have a huge spreadsheet that's organized in several categories. I use random.org to pick games from those categories. As far as I know, there is no app that does what I need so far. I'm working with a developer called gameshelf, and he's implemented some of my ideas into his app. But, it's so complicated and niche that I'm not sure who would want to do all of my crazy randomness.
@@RNGGamerYT damn, maybe one day we will get an easy method
@brandoncarvalho4699 now that it's all set up, it's really easy to manage. But, it took years to get there
Sonic Chaos was not the first Sonic game made 'Just for handhelds'!
The game was made for the Sega Master System and ported to /released at the same time as the Game Gear version (as so many Game Gears were).
The first Sonic Game made specifically for handhelds was Sonic Advance (Game Bay Advance) released almost ten years after Sonic Chaos AND the first Sonic game to appear on a handheld was the original Sonic The Hedgehog in 1991.
Just thought I offer that correction :)
Well... according to Wikipedia, it WAS the first original sonic game developed for a handheld. That's what it was designed to be. They may have developed the Master System game in tandem with it, but it was produced for the Game Gear 😁
Still awaiting your view of Control, phenomenal game imho
I'm still playing it 😅
damn giving 5 to fallout😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤love your videos
Thanks! I just couldn't get into it! I think I got all of the achievements on Fallout 3, but this time around....I wasn't feeling it
@@RNGGamerYT it is totally normal man 💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️ love
@@lirkz4381 thanks!
It sounds like the Fallout series is just not something you are into. Understandable. I played through the whole game and all the DLC. Must have spent a year or more just playing that game. You can switch to 3rd person view- which I prefer. And the game really opens up when you get the power armour upgrades and start building communities. I did not have many glitch issues, but I play slow and methodical like I assume one would do in a very dangerous post-apocalypse world. I found it interesting- like in other Bethesda games, how the world interacts without you. For example I was crouched in stealth one time and a Deathclaw walked right by me and tore apart a raider settlement. I mopped up afterwards and just felt the living breathing environment was unique. This happens even more often when you build settlements and they get attacked as you open up more of the game an align with factions. Also, the side stories are very interesting- each companion has a side story you can work through and in the end they are more effective in battle. Then the radio opens up more side stories and you eventually find out what has happened to every other vault in the wasteland. Of that attention to detail and in depth lore is what makes the Fallout series so effective. Cheers.
Fallout isn't for me! It took two decades to realize it.
I enjoyed reading your comment and seeing the way you approached things. It's way different mindset to the way I think and want to play a game.
When you said that you discover side missions from the radio, most people would find that sense of discovery intriguing. I find it stressful because what if I miss it?
My friend and I have been watching your channel for a couple days now. A great find. I find your game mindset interesting as well, because it is very different than both of ours.
I feel stifled by linear games. I don't care for SHMUPS (save for Ikaruga-that was awesome) and I do not like FPS games. But I can play adventure games for years. I spent nearly 2 years playing Skyrim. The I played Fallout 76 for 2-3 years as well. I love open world games and creating my own path.
Whereas my friend loves emotionally engaging games with a great story and character development (Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption).
Anyhow, loving your content and we are going through your backlog of backlog reviews :D Cheers!
my brothers favorite games are the bethesda fallouts annnnnd yeah idk they all just feel like lesser elder scrolls games to me lol, honestly prefer the original turn based fallout games. 4 i've played the least and ; the first 3 hours of the game i somehow managed to pick a direction where i encountered zero people, zero towns, and when i finally did it was a town of just sentry bots lol. i'd also played the xbone version and picked some silly mods for shits and gigggles : completely broke my save by installing a 'terminator companion' mod that unless you read the fine print, spawns in an unkillable enemy every 10 minutes making the game pretty much impossible to explore. also yeah the biggest problem with the prior bethesda games was the jilted conversation system, so on paper having a dynamic camera during the conversations seems like a gigantic improvement until you realize the dialog options are dumbed down, your characters have no personality, and it just looks awful. like the conversations in mass effect 1 look leagues ahead of whats going on in fallout 4 lol.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who wasn't into it! 🤣
Tbh I like to pretend that Bayonetta's 3 story isn't canon, because, seriously, it's so disrespectful to the story set by 1 and 2 that it's not even funny 💀(Or, perhaps it's funny because of that?)
lol. It was so bizarre that I can't even tell if the story was good or bad.
Sonic chaos looks good
Try it out! It's kind of janky, but you may really like it. Especially if you're a big fan of Sonic
Try it on the Master System because you see more of the level on screen and I think it runs a bit smoother. I beat it in the mid 90s after renting it from a friend.
@buchfritze4700 I'll be on the lookout for it!
Bro, I loved fallout 1-2... I hate what Bethesda did to FO3-4....
I liked them better, too. But I never got very good at them
Great video. Bayonetta 3 was a huge disappointment definately. For all the reasons you mentioned and the combat being focused around summoning massive beasts. This meant the camera was usually zoomed way out and combat felt designed around that mechanic, not as fluid as it was before. I spent more time staring at my summoned beast's ass then seeing what my character was doing. There was some clunky platforming and sub par side scrolling stages as well and alot of filler as you said. It really didnt hold up visually either. Really enjoyed the first 2 games.
Could never get into bethesda games, unless Doom 2016 and the newer Wolfenstein games are part of that developer. I think bethesda probably just published those games. The games they made were super clunky and wooden feeling with no real passion or personality. All of them. Loved Dishonored 2 and the expansion, but not sure if they actually made those directly. Skyrim,Oblivion and Fallout series I found super boring with shit combat. Tried to get into them. Beat Skyrim and Oblivion but it was a slog. I saw my friend get overpowered and do some hilarious looking, glitchy shit, but as far as the main gameplay I found it very mundane. Very simple shitty combat in the Oblivion and Skyrim games too. A little better in Fallout but not by much.
Sonic Chaos looks like alot of blind jumps and slower platforming, which I always thought defeated the purpose and killed the pacing of the sonic games. The first game had this problem and some of the others. Freedom Planet is a newer series which mostly got the pacing right, as did Sonic Mania. Multiple paths through a stage so you never really hit a dead end, just keep moving. Triple Trouble was one of the few Game Gear games I completed and I remember that one being pretty solid for the platform.
Playing random games and beating them sounds TOUGH but very cool concept. Do you ever post up any of your playthroughs or add commentary? Still catching up. That Atari 50 seemed really well put together, with all the extra content. I checked it out briefly through Switch emulation while picking out some of the easy kills.
Dude! Thanks for going back and watching some of my other videos. I really appreciate it.
Those games you mentioned above were developed by other companies and published by Bethesda. That's probably why we liked them more than Fallout and Skyrim. It seems like we have very similar tastes in games.
I have only had a newer computer for capturing gameplay footage for about 6 months. So, a lot of these videos, I just captured the minimum to save harddrive space.
However, I have been recording some of my recent live streams. I've started editing the latest one down into a highlight reel. So, that will be like watching me play an entire game.
Other than that, I have some 1CC shmups vids for my member exclusive videos. I tried doing some gameplay videos when I first started up the channel, but people weren't really into them.
No problem. I appreciate you putting out the content. Great presentation and alot of detail in your videos.
Its good to see someone not going along with the games that are supposed to be good. It shows that the channel is genuine. Alot of channels parrot eachother on here. I tried Starfield and it was more of the same shit. I dont plan to go back to that one either.
Right. The HDD space can get pretty expensive too. I capture everything I play these days, so it adds up. Nice. I usually check out live stream content when its later posted to RUclips since my routine is all over the place.
That makes sense. Its very different when youre trying to grow the channel versus using it as more of a journal or gameplay video back up.@@RNGGamerYT
@theconsolekiller7113 Thanks for watching my live streams.
Yeah, I only do this channel because I love games and want to share them with everyone.
I'm not afraid of sharing my real feelings about a game. But, I try to stay positive.
No problem. Thats a good approach. Even the worst games can have some good ideas.@@RNGGamerYT
I enjoy plenty of terrible games! They make the great ones so much better 😄
If you thought Fallout 4 was glitchy when you played it, imagine what it was like Day 1 lol it was pretty bad, but some of the glitches were hilarious. If you play Bethesda games, it helps to find some humor in the glitches.
Fo4 wasn't as good as Fallout 3 or New Vegas, though. I reserved Fallout 4 and was so excited for it, but ended up abandoning the game faster than any Bethesda game I've ever played. There were many little details I didn't like that added up to it being my least favorite Fallout game, such as the change in art direction and the overall tone (you mentioned how you enjoyed the introduction of color into 4, but I actually prefer the gloomy palette of 3). I think what actually made me give up on 4 were the Minutemen events--all that drove me crazy. Looking back, Fallout 4 is a huge reason why I believe the 8th console generation is the most disappointing console generation of all time.
And it doesn't sound like you were a big fan of Fallout 3, but it was huge in 2008: ambitious FPS RPG for its time, back when open-world games weren't a cliché. Fo3 had more flexibility than other games, and even Fo4 as well--you could make more decisions and do more things that would otherwise be forbidden in 4. Fallout 3 offered so much that other games didn't back then, and I really believe a big part of why a game like Fallout 4 doesn't deliver like the Bethesda games before it is because a lot of developers have integrated open-world and RPG elements into so many games that we've all played since to the point that there's nothing special about those elements anymore.
K7 has been on my list for some time now, but after hearing you emphasize how strange it is, I'm having reservations. The older I get, the less patience I have for weird stuff haha. I do appreciate the heads-up on that!
I'm sure Fallout 4 was a complete disaster when it first came out. I couldn't have handled it 😅
I actually played Fallout 3 when it was the hot new thing. I might have actually played it on release day or close to it. I enjoyed it, but not as much as a lot of other people did. I think when people hear me say I wasn't the biggest fan of something that they think I'm bashing it or saying, it's terrible. It's not that at all.
At the time, so many people were saying it was the greatest game they'd ever played... best game of all time. Those sorts of comments. I thought it was like an 8/10. Very good, but not the best of all time. And compared to Oblivion, I didn't think it was even in the same ballpark.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment!
@@RNGGamerYT The funniest glitch on Fallout 4's release was this long awkward pause between dialogue: the characters would just stand and stare at each other. I remember people hating it, but it made me lmao because the timing was usually excellent.
And hey, an 8/10 is still great for Fallout 3! I totally understand if Bethesda games aren't your cup of tea, though. I think we've all got games we don't prefer as much as others--can't think of any specific ones right now, but I could easily rant about modern games in general lol
You put a lot of thought into your content, and us viewers appreciate that! Cheers, RNG!
@lukeautosymbol2668 aww, thanks so much! I really try to be informative and fun 😄
As a fallout fan I didn't like Fallout 4 lol. Then again I'm a bit of an old head who just wishes fallout would go back to being turn based. (New vegas is pretty good though)
Thanks for agreeing with me 🤣
I still haven't played New Vegas yet. I'm looking forward to it!
I really enjoyed Road 96, but the prequel wasn't great. I 100% both games though
I didn't even know there was a prequel!!! 🤔
@@RNGGamerYT Yeah, Road 96: Mile 0
The first 8-Bit Sonics (Sonic and Sonic 2) are different from the Genesis games. The first one shares 2 level names, but even level designs are different. Sonic 2 8-Bit is totally different.
Neither are great, IMO, but don't play Sonic 2's GG version. The screen crunch makes a challenging game nearly unplayable. Master System version is a bit easier to play, but not great.
Triple Trouble is best, but the 16-bit remake is better, still.
Thanks for letting me know... sadly, I'll be playing the gamegear versions since I already own them 🤣
PS. The guide to that game is wrong. Ahh. I remember you mentioned the BoF series. But I think you have not played them.
I have never played any of the BoF games. They look really good
Im glad im not the only one that could not get into Fallout 4 buddy "I also played it on the Xbox". Strange because i loved Fallout 3 and i did all the DLC for it too.
Not sure what it was about 4 i only played it for about 2 hour's and i was done. I have tryed to go back to it about 2 or 3 time's but nope lol Don't like it and im not sure why hahaha.
We're not alone! There are a bunch of people out there who dislike fallout 4. I couldn't quite put my finger on it either..
@@RNGGamerYT Glad there is more of us then buddy. I thought it may have been a me problem as to why i didn't like it hahaha.
...I still kind of think that
@@RNGGamerYT Hahaha
Fallout 4 for me is like Skyrim, i start it over all the time get to like level 20 and play a new game, its fun but New Vegas is better
I wish I could have gotten into it... I really do.
I am excited to try New Vegas
Fallout 4 is the only game i played.i heard las Vegas is good and got bad reviews
New Vegas is by far the most beloved fallout game. 😄
Bayonetta 3 was a complete mess...problem is the zoomers seem to love that and Astral Chain (also rubbish). The days of Bayonetta 1 and Vanquish are gone
I loved vanquish! No one ever mentions it anymore. I've had a lot of people on here mention that they love Astral Chain, and only a small portion of my viewers are under 30. Maybe it's more devisive than I thought!
btw, rename the atari video to something more evergreen man! many will be searching for a video just like yours, but it won't easily show up without an SEO optimized title.
You mean the one where I review every game on the Atari 50 compilation?
@@RNGGamerYT yes exactly!
Any suggestions? I am terrible about thinking of titles
@@RNGGamerYT "Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration - Gameplay & Review for Every Game [Timestamped]"
I'd work around this template, basically the closer you can get to the official game title helps a lot (unless its too long, like in this case xD)
It also looks like no one has done the same with timestamps, you got the game titles there, so might help to timestamp them too!
of course this is general advice on evergreen content, atari 50 is definitely not a "best seller" video, but it is still a piece of evergreen content, that could generate views for decades, instead of weeks or months!
"Atari 50 - All 104 Games Played & Reviewed (with Timestamps)" maybe this variant could fit more info / CTR, in a shorter length.
