Stopped caring what the drinker had to say. When he released that god awful wish version jack reacher. Couldn't take his views seriously if he signed off on that production and genuinely thought it was worth putting out.
Also, this bears repeating: If ASMONGOLD (famously untidy and out of shape nerd) and Drinker (a high-functioning you-know-what) have beaten you? With a fraction of the budget and resources, *just* by making an effort to be likeable to nerds? Then... you're the opposite of a winner. You're actually really, really, really depressing to think about as a person, TBH...
@@nittojoe136 *Actually* imagine having millions and millions of dollars air dropped into your lap, being given access to an entire staff of people to assist you, having countless personal and professional contacts within the *largest and most influential telecommunications corporations on Earth* ...and still getting ratio'd by independent randos who aren't afraid to call BullSchitt.
It is true, two guys making videos from their bedroom are beating entire companies with a hundred or more employers, I mean, at this point, the entire game media industry has been turned into a joke, a shell of its former self.
But-but gamers have exceedingly high expectations! Meanwhile the gamers just want a semi coherent story and a game that works on release.. “high expectations”
Ryan nailed it: these guys think Drinker and Asmongold and Gary are TELLING their audiences to not play Concord, when we simply gravitate towards them because they are just as frustrated with being told what to do and what to buy as we are. The media cannot comprehend that we have our own thoughts and feelings.
Because they don't have their own thoughts and feelings at all. Have you ever spoken to a Democrat? Their position will literally always be what the headlines and talking heads on a 30 second short say. Word for word. They never have their own ideas. Even the policy positions they take originate in the 60's with the hippie movement (nuclear energy bad, "restorative" agriculture good, capitalism bad, Chicoms good). They cannot ever be original, which is why the democrat writers have resorted to plundering the past for plotlines or just outright remake old stuff. They are intellectually bankrupt.
they fail to admit the hundred times they burned us before Drinker or Asmongold even started in on this. The hunger for the truth has always been there. They stoked it into a raging wildfire. Like an illegal alien with a blowtorch.
Yeah, they don't think PEOPLE have or should have any autonomy. Those people didn't show up in numbers like that to have their mind changed and follow instructions, they showed up because they already felt that way and someone entertaining could put it all in words.
Because they think we're like them- A "thought leader" speaks, and the people follow. No, we just like having a voice. It confused them a decade ago, it confuses them now, and it will continue to confuse them.
OK, what’s it saying Of course, that’s why they’ve landed in this “woke” mess in the first place-they genuinely believe they can dictate what others think. Their refusal to confront reality keeps them tethered to their insular, self-reinforcing messages, blaming the growing chorus of messengers for their declining popularity rather than addressing the flaws in their message. But in a free society, reality isn’t about spin or manipulating people-it’s about non-coerced, authentic interactions.
If you're worried that word of mouth can destroy your product, it's because you are expecting it to succeed by word of mouth...specifically, the mouths you control. (simp critics)
KCD director pointing out his years old game is played by an order of magnitude more players than a triple a game with ten times KCD budget. It is tragic and comedic, because they did it all to themselves while us racists and bigots were telling them to stop.
They know that their messaging is the most important thing they are doing. They're activists and they need eyeballs for their message to be heard. They don't know how to make a good game bc they aren't fans of games - they just like owning properties that people will pay attention to so they can use it at their platform.
Imagine spending hundreds of millions of dollars on an overblown DEI movie/video game, having the support of the machine and Hollywood pushing your woke agenda and still failing to some dudes talking infront of a camera in their spare rooms 😂

It's pretty simple, if you don't wanna be called out, make a good product that people want, and without THE MESSAGE or any agenda, and reviewers will give it a positive rating.
I agree with you mostly. The solution is giving people what they want. The problem is no one can get it right 100% of the time. Here's the rub: Some people who goof up look back, try to figure out what went wrong, and try to fix it. Others try to blame others for their failure. Successful people choose the former. Hollyweird and the liberal elites choose the latter. And they wonder why they're going down...
They loved it when they could make us feel alone in our exasperation. I remember the first few weeks after The Last Jedi and I was horrified and I only partly could express why. And others seemed to like it bc they were told it was great. Once I heard some creators criticize it, it was so great to not feel alone or crazy at ALL the horrible scenes and character destruction I was watching.
"The French have been pissed at the Japanese since they put that red dot on their white flag." - Razör 9 other people on the stream and nobody got that joke?!? It bombed harder than the Enola Gay. I laughed though. 🙂
It took me a moment to understand the joke. But damn, that’s clever.😂 But for people who wonder: Remove the 🔴 in the flag, and all you’re left with is the white flag - Which is the symbol for surrender, and that’s a typical joke about the French; they surrender a lot.
It's clever but not funny... Not in a too serious way, just sounds like a joke only people obsessed with history class would enjoy. Get it? The French are cowardly...hyuck.
Im from Czech Republic, Im proud of Czech game industry and Im big fan of you, Disparu, Ryan and Critical Drinker too. Friday nights are the best for my trips in car. So greetings from Czech Republic!! And keep your good job and spine! :-)
Ryan's point is why people loved Rush Limbaugh. He was saying what they already thought, but Rush was able to get the points across more succinctly because of his broadcast background.
It was good analysis about the top down vs bottom up. Look at Obama - his supporters agreed with whatever he told them to say. He was against gay marriage until one day he decided to be for it, then all his supporters changed their minds too and agreed with him. They think Trump, the creators, etc are the same - that ppl are just waiting to be told what to think. If I disagreed w/ Drinker or Gary all the time, I might watch them at times, but no way would I be a follower of someone I simply don't agree with how they see the world or art.
A talk show hosts for right wing boomers. Very popular, but his entire lifes work didn't add up to anything. Even those of us who listened to him at one point don't think about him until his name his mentioned
I'm happy you tackled this subject, because you can't defeat Hollywood without addressing the damage that ESG and Dei is doing to other media as well this is a multi front War and it needs to be fought on all sides not just with movies TV and streaming but also in video games comics and role-playing games
Shoutout Asmongold for seemingly being one of the only content creators and streamers that tells it how it is and isn’t scared of losers on Twitter being mad at him
8:30 Concord already had the final straw that broke the camels back when they put a hero shooter, an already saturated genre, up for $40. People already were giving this the sussy side eye and then they click it out of morbid curiosity and are greeted by fugly ass characters that are so irredeemably woke that even the fucking robot is obese. So does it even matter at this point what the story or gameplay was like?
Remember when you could rent a game to try it out before purchase or during ps3 / 360 Era you could get free representative demo downloads to try it out
Devs have to respect their fans. They’ve had problems with their customer base before critics like Asmond and critical drinker started pointing out their flaws.
Saquan absolutely dunking on people. Not too much a football fan (11 minutes of snap to whistle for a three hour game), but the highlights are epic. Fly eagles fly, the road to victory ^____^
This is perfectly right. When I am told by developpers or movie makers that their product is not for me because it's woke, then I would watch what The Drinker says about it only for confirmation that it indeed is not for me. But the decision not to buy this shait was already made earlier.
It's amazing I used to follow you guys individually for about a decade ago and as the time went more and more of u guys started to meet up like this and it's amazing to watch and listen to. Glad to see and hear u guys so I don't get the feeling with something is off, alone, and actually alot of people are like me. People with common sense.
I found you guys' channels around the time they started releasing more information about The Rings of Power as it was getting closer to release. All the corporate media were trying their best to hype it up and I was gonna go insane unless I could find evidence that I'm not the only one thinking all the info about the show was terrible. Glad I found you all!
Remember IMDb had a comments section where you could discuss individual movies or TV shows etc. Then Amazon bought it and the comments section was gone.
Ryan got it right. The drinker is only famous because he are behind him watching and supporting his videos. But when he sells out that's when we will stop supporting him.
6:50 re: forums. They all started shutting down because they couldn't control the views of the users anymore. RIP all the places I used to hang out at.
there is this industrie veteran woman who spilled the beans on how it used to work back in her day. about how the they had dedicated people trained to control message at all levels. now with independent youtubers its nearly impossible to buy everyone and if you do all that does it opens opportunities for new people to come in and fill in the gap that the shills used to occupy.
When you have such thin confidence in your product that you're afraid of some comments, maybe you should go back to the writing and approval room and ease someone through the door..... the building door.
Back in the 2014-15 i wrote the review of the new fifa in the first number of the italian gamestop magazine They published another review because mine wasn't an enormus ad about the game and the "gamestop special pre-order version" 10 years ago and nothings happen
Not that I am agreeing with his statement, but check out Valerian. It's a sci fi classic, from the 60's if I am not mistaken, and it has influenced a lot of modern classics. I own all issues and it was indeed a product way ahead of its time 😁
I have been playing video games since I was 3 years old. I am 37 now, and I still play. If you think I ever EVER took the opinion of critics at face value, you would be wrong. Hell, people and critics told me that Final Fantasy XVI was a 10/10. And as I played it, I just saw a very generic carbon copy of Tales of Arise, so to me it was a 5/10. So, you can very much know, we are beyond recovering nowadays as consumers of these companies, when they disrespect us just like Square-Enix did with their new policies of "You are banned if you talk bad about our company or the ones associated to us". Hail Nerdrotic
In general I only follow reviewers with whom I largely agree on things I've also watched or played. That way I can know that we broadly value the same things, and I can trust reviews on products I've never experienced. For example, I love Razorfist's music, movie, and political commentary, but I don't "trust" him on video games because we like different genres for vastly different reasons. That's not a bug, it's a feature! The wide array of independent reviewers means that I can find other voices that will speak more to my own experience with the game market than a couple of establishment magazines like I had in the 80s and 90s.
I rarely leave a comment on videos because I just don’t have time but had to after this one! One good point right after another! Great video!! Well done and said!!
Why are they so scared of them? They actually have very milquetoast takes on stuff. Critical Drinker thinks God of War Ragnarok Isn’t woke. And of course Asmongold apologized for daring to criticize Israel. Asmongold barely plays games, he reacts to viral videos
That is in the same way they fear SBI. Marketing and sales departments are very easy to manipulate. Just scare them with less quarterly revenue and they will do anything to move that threat to the next Q or until they land their next position. Anything.
It's sad where we are that artists and production companies admit they've basically not been worried about ANY critical reviews for the last 15 years. They've owned the critics for so long this is a shock.
EH, at the publication that the next Dr. Who would be a woman, I throught "Oh, cool, we get a Dr. Missy". She did a bang up Job portraying The Master and her breaking into song out of left field (that was entirely unscripted) was brilliant! Unfortunately what we got was the "on sale" Dr. Whamen from wish including her boring and uninspired compandaions from Temu.
I was waiting for someone to say: If game developers make an actually good game, they got nothing to worry about, cause Asmongold and Critical Drinkers viewers won't even move the needle if something they critique is actually good, it can only DO GOOD
If a major studio produces a GOOD PRODUCT, people will buy it. If it is a franchise they enjoy, they will buy it. But when you REPEATEDLY shovel lackluster product upon the public, you will face diminishing returns. People will go from "Faithfully buying each sequel," to the attitude of "I'll give it a shot; hopefully it's better than the last installment," to the "completists only" crowd, to finally, "I've given up on this franchise. It's dead to me" and complete apathy sets in... STAR WARS is the perfect example of this.
You can sum this up very simply by a statement made by curly's brother Duke in City Slickers 2: The legend of curly's gold. throughout the film they're constantly mentioning this one thing that curly used to say about this 1 thing, And at the end of the movie Duke comes back and is talking to Billy Crystal the main character and telling him that he still hasn't figured out what the one thing is but he figures there was two things and not one and that the second thing is honesty, any proceeds to tell him that all the gold that they thought was fake was real and it had been re buried in a different place and that he knew where the new place was and he was just going to go take it and steal and hoard it all for himself and give them nothing and he realized that was not what his brother would have wanted. So the future coin of the realm for at least anything that's media wise related to services and goods from an entertainment perspective video games movies fast food is honesty and transparency. I don't care if you make a game work I don't care if you increase the price of a Big Mac I don't care about any of this nonsense just be honest about it tell me that you're doing this because you're a greedy SOB tell me you're doing this because you think I'm better than you I may not like you but at least I know who I'm dealing with now you're not pretending to be my friend or some altruist holier than now empty concept. 😉😏
These companies all replaced their best people with DEI, thinking you can make art by numbers and talent is learned. They are still in denial phase that's why they blame everyone but themselfs.
I have maybe 3-4 hours a week that I can play PC games and I want to spend that time on worlds I’ll never visit doing things I’ll never do IRL. I don’t want to be lectured.
no *ONE* is praising Vávra's attitude in the gaming world enough. The fact that KCD was done by people donating on a gofundme page is a true test to what games can be like if the developers actually care about things like lore, design and storytelling.
People play games and seek out entertainment to take a timeout from the things they can’t control in their lives. They do not do it to be lectured to on how their way of thinking is not appropriate for a very small segment of the population. Life is difficult for everyone but certain groups have decided that the causes for their difficulties is everyone that’s not them or doesn’t think like them. Relationships are hard. Look at your family, your friends, your spouse. We all have feelings of hurt in our lives. You will experience trauma throughout your life and so will others. Don’t hold onto blame of others, trauma and pain is part of all life. Learn and grow from it, don’t wallow and hate.
These companies made DEI fundamental to their brand. So now it’s the companies right to fail. Thank goodness for independent voices speaking truth to nerd.
True fact, I had never been on RUclips before, bht about a week after LJ, the movie was still making me seeth and I saw an interview with Rian J...I started to rant and my son said, "hmm, I wonder if RUclips has any people who feel like you." I logged on and found a wonderful community, who I sometimes disagree with but always enjoy. Gary and Drinker are regular watch for my wife and I (we don't have terrestrial TV so it's Crunchyroll, Netflix and RUclips). You guys didn't make me hate the Last Jedi. It did by being one of the few movies I almost pulled a Karen on and demanded my money back. I had to restrained by my wife from leaving after the escape from the first planet. You didn't make feel that way, Rian, Kathleen K, and Disney did. Just like corps still don't get anime and comic books are very adult these days, they don't get we can smell a stinker without a recovering alcoholic and a celebrating alcoholic! Thanks Nerdrotic and Friends for many years of fun!

Well, Asmon's excitement for "Vampire Survivors" made me buy the game. And I loved the game so much that I eventually bought it four times.
They threw D and C batteries at Santa Claus!
The tide is shifting and sanity is returning to the world.
KCD 2 is going to be a masterpiece. A rare gem in the muck we call AAA gaming.
I loved hearing the theme song for the classic Sega game After Burner at the end.
Haven't heard that in decades.
It's like fearing the canary in the coal mine.
there is this industrie veteran woman who spilled the beans on how it used to work back in her day. about how the they had dedicated people trained to control message at all levels. now with independent youtubers its nearly impossible to buy everyone and if you do all that does it opens opportunities for new people to come in and fill in the gap that the shills used to occupy.
When you have such thin confidence in your product that you're afraid of some comments, maybe you should go back to the writing and approval room and ease someone through the door..... the building door.
*places hand on brain bug*
"It's afraid!"
*everyone cheers*
Back in the 2014-15 i wrote the review of the new fifa in the first number of the italian gamestop magazine
They published another review because mine wasn't an enormus ad about the game and the "gamestop special pre-order version"
10 years ago and nothings happen
Razor when people go "OOOOHHHHH!!!" to what he says he then just takes over and forces his points interrupting then just stops???? lol
Typical.
Videogames by their very nature, train pattern recognition. Now, devs are afraid that gamers have a well trained pattern recognition? what?
8:05 - French comics are better than manga ? Since when ? What titles ? And if so, why are they far less popular than manga ?
Gary gargling Razor's balls.
Again.
Not that I am agreeing with his statement, but check out Valerian. It's a sci fi classic, from the 60's if I am not mistaken, and it has influenced a lot of modern classics. I own all issues and it was indeed a product way ahead of its time 😁
Gary kissing up to Razorfist.
....Black people only live in Harlem?! FBA referenced in Medieval game setting?! Damn, yow'll.
The world would be better if they all only lived in one place. People would know where to avoid
@HellsYeah8
Wakanda?
I've been not enjoying Hollywood for years now. But i couldn't place why. Nerdrotic and the gang have helped pinpoint why
Mwahahaha. You fools! This isn't even a drunk Scottish man's final form!
3:47 Wow. She literally has a red flag on her! 🚩👀🤣
Star Wars got me into you guys. The Wheel of Time TV show made me believe in you. Haven't turned back since then.
A Friday Night Tights with Asmongold as a guest would be a dream Friday for me
It would be interesting to see but I don't think he would "compete" well in that environment.
He doesn't participate in that kind of format. It's just not something he's comfortable with.
I have been playing video games since I was 3 years old. I am 37 now, and I still play. If you think I ever EVER took the opinion of critics at face value, you would be wrong.
Hell, people and critics told me that Final Fantasy XVI was a 10/10. And as I played it, I just saw a very generic carbon copy of Tales of Arise, so to me it was a 5/10. So, you can very much know, we are beyond recovering nowadays as consumers of these companies, when they disrespect us just like Square-Enix did with their new policies of "You are banned if you talk bad about our company or the ones associated to us".
Hail Nerdrotic
Interesting; The After Burner soundtrack at the end of the video..
In general I only follow reviewers with whom I largely agree on things I've also watched or played. That way I can know that we broadly value the same things, and I can trust reviews on products I've never experienced.
For example, I love Razorfist's music, movie, and political commentary, but I don't "trust" him on video games because we like different genres for vastly different reasons. That's not a bug, it's a feature! The wide array of independent reviewers means that I can find other voices that will speak more to my own experience with the game market than a couple of establishment magazines like I had in the 80s and 90s.
I rarely leave a comment on videos because I just don’t have time but had to after this one! One good point right after another! Great video!! Well done and said!!
I agree with RK, i dont tune in to Nerd, As, AZ, Drinker, etc to be persuaded, I visit because we have something in common and we can share in it:)
Ahh. Pre-goonergate Razorfist. He was so young.
Kingdom Come 2 looks SO DANG GOOD
Was the closing sound clip from the FFVII motorcycle mini game?
Why are they so scared of them? They actually have very milquetoast takes on stuff. Critical Drinker thinks God of War Ragnarok Isn’t woke. And of course Asmongold apologized for daring to criticize Israel. Asmongold barely plays games, he reacts to viral videos
Vert true.
We trusts your opinions 100%
7:05 I don’t know, I am pretty fuckin stupid… I am here aren’t I?
We tried to warn them. They called us awful names and laughed as they destroyed what we loved.
Our turn.
Liked for Afterburner outro
Sauron was defeated because he couldn't get passed the way he would do things. It never occurred to him that someone would want to destroy the ring.
I love that film Critical Drinker made its great.
That is in the same way they fear SBI.
Marketing and sales departments are very easy to manipulate. Just scare them with less quarterly revenue and they will do anything to move that threat to the next Q or until they land their next position. Anything.
People are sick of big companies good!
I raise my glass to Drinker.
The tail does not wag the dog.
It's sad where we are that artists and production companies admit they've basically not been worried about ANY critical reviews for the last 15 years. They've owned the critics for so long this is a shock.
All my grandmas are dead. Jokes on you, RazorSTANKFist!
Hahahaha
Just kidding, love your content.
All my grandmas really are dead, though..
EH, at the publication that the next Dr. Who would be a woman, I throught "Oh, cool, we get a Dr. Missy". She did a bang up Job portraying The Master and her breaking into song out of left field (that was entirely unscripted) was brilliant! Unfortunately what we got was the "on sale" Dr. Whamen from wish including her boring and uninspired compandaions from Temu.
I was waiting for someone to say: If game developers make an actually good game, they got nothing to worry about, cause Asmongold and Critical Drinkers viewers won't even move the needle if something they critique is actually good, it can only DO GOOD
I used to read Kotaku 10- 15 years ago 😂
If a major studio produces a GOOD PRODUCT, people will buy it. If it is a franchise they enjoy, they will buy it. But when you REPEATEDLY shovel lackluster product upon the public, you will face diminishing returns. People will go from "Faithfully buying each sequel," to the attitude of "I'll give it a shot; hopefully it's better than the last installment," to the "completists only" crowd, to finally, "I've given up on this franchise. It's dead to me" and complete apathy sets in... STAR WARS is the perfect example of this.
You can sum this up very simply by a statement made by curly's brother Duke in
City Slickers 2:
The legend of curly's gold.
throughout the film they're constantly mentioning this one thing that curly used to say about this 1 thing,
And at the end of the movie Duke comes back and is talking to Billy Crystal the main character and telling him that he still hasn't figured out what the one thing is but he figures there was two things and not one and that the second thing is honesty, any proceeds to tell him that all the gold that they thought was fake was real and it had been re buried in a different place and that he knew where the new place was and he was just going to go take it and steal and hoard it all for himself and give them nothing and he realized that was not what his brother would have wanted.
So the future coin of the realm for at least anything that's media wise related to services and goods from an entertainment perspective video games movies fast food is honesty and transparency.
I don't care if you make a game work I don't care if you increase the price of a Big Mac I don't care about any of this nonsense just be honest about it tell me that you're doing this because you're a greedy SOB tell me you're doing this because you think I'm better than you I may not like you but at least I know who I'm dealing with now you're not pretending to be my friend or some altruist holier than now empty concept.
😉😏
“F***en Eagles Fans”? How are the Chargers going? 🤣
These companies all replaced their best people with DEI, thinking you can make art by numbers and talent is learned. They are still in denial phase that's why they blame everyone but themselfs.
I have maybe 3-4 hours a week that I can play PC games and I want to spend that time on worlds I’ll never visit doing things I’ll never do IRL. I don’t want to be lectured.
Is NO ONE going to adress the fact that Chris Gore is the human torch now? Lmao. Oh, they just did...lol
You should come to an eagles game with your rams jersey.
no *ONE* is praising Vávra's attitude in the gaming world enough. The fact that KCD was done by people donating on a gofundme page is a true test to what games can be like if the developers actually care about things like lore, design and storytelling.
People play games and seek out entertainment to take a timeout from the things they can’t control in their lives. They do not do it to be lectured to
on how their way of thinking is not appropriate for a very small segment of the population.
Life is difficult for everyone but certain groups have decided that the causes for their difficulties is everyone that’s not them or doesn’t think like them.
Relationships are hard. Look at your family, your friends, your spouse. We all have feelings of hurt in our lives. You will experience trauma throughout your life and so will others. Don’t hold onto blame of others, trauma and pain is part of all life. Learn and grow from it, don’t wallow and hate.
Everytime I hear razorfist talk I think they brought asmond for the video
These companies made DEI fundamental to their brand. So now it’s the companies right to fail. Thank goodness for independent voices speaking truth to nerd.
True fact, I had never been on RUclips before, bht about a week after LJ, the movie was still making me seeth and I saw an interview with Rian J...I started to rant and my son said, "hmm, I wonder if RUclips has any people who feel like you." I logged on and found a wonderful community, who I sometimes disagree with but always enjoy. Gary and Drinker are regular watch for my wife and I (we don't have terrestrial TV so it's Crunchyroll, Netflix and RUclips).
You guys didn't make me hate the Last Jedi. It did by being one of the few movies I almost pulled a Karen on and demanded my money back. I had to restrained by my wife from leaving after the escape from the first planet. You didn't make feel that way, Rian, Kathleen K, and Disney did. Just like corps still don't get anime and comic books are very adult these days, they don't get we can smell a stinker without a recovering alcoholic and a celebrating alcoholic!
Thanks Nerdrotic and Friends for many years of fun!
I though they said: If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Why scared now 😂
