    You will never have a year of releases that gives you the “ps1 and ps2” era feeling. That was a time in your life that exposed you to game experiences you had never experienced before then. Gaming will never give you that feeling again because you’re getting old. It’s depressing I know but I’m willing to bet, if this was the generation you grew up in and there was no social media like back then, you would have very different views on modern gaming. I’m sure 10 year olds today will have nostalgia for Fortnite and five nights at Freddie’s the same way. Getting old blows.

      If I had a nickel for every time someone has typed this exact comment...obviously you haven't watched any of my retrospectives. Half of them are reviews of games I'd never played before, and in the case of Thief 2 and Deus Ex, are now some of my favorite games.
      Even before I started this channel, Xenogears, the classic Resident Evils, and Metroid Prime are just a few games I played over a decade after their release that I loved. Older games are more innovative, more fun, and best of all, have "SOVL". They don't shove modern politics down your throat, no, not even MGS. Maybe I'll make a video about it someday but MGS2 actually predicted the cancer that is the internet today, and certainly wasn't praising it.

      Women in war is a joke. We've known this for literally THOUSANDS of years. Their bodies produce higher cortisol levels and have a higher flight rather fight response when adrenaline kicks in. It's ingrained Evolutionary to survive and continue reproducing to maintain the species. That's setting aside they don't even meet basic PT standards, have lower marksmanship scores in basic training, and can't carry full weight rucksacks or carry an injured comrade off the battlefield.
      Vanguard is a joke. And that's setting aside that half the guns in it didn't even exist and weren't even produced until long after ww2. And NO MORE RED DOT SIGHTS. THEY DIDNT EXIST EXCEPT ON AIRPLANES. Not even Vietnam had red dot sights except on some sniper rifles.

He wasn’t wrong with saying people who liked 6 accepting the flaws and not ignoring them. I do agree that Maximas Matanzas was the worst part of the game, but I think he went a little overboard with the critique. Like, trans characters aren’t allowed to exist in games without it being cringe? I didn’t get to El Tigre’s part when I was playing so I neither agree or disagree with that. I don’t think wokeness is a particularly bad thing. It’s good to have equality in media.

    I will give an honorable mention to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Expectations for that game were quite low after Square Enix's botched Avenger's game, but what we got was actually a very enjoyable experience. It does not really do anything groundbreaking or revolutionary, but it delivers a new take on the Guardians while still managing to retain some of that MCU charm through their dysfunctional teamwork and personalities. The story was really good, to the point where you actually felt like you were watching (and controlling) a superhero TV series or movie. I believe it got best video game story of the year, if I recall correctly. The story did have some cliches, predictable moments, and points where it felt odd, slow, and even hard to follow, but overall I became invested in it more than I do most games. The gameplay is pretty standard and easy to learn to the point where combat can be relatively easy from start to finish, same for the "puzzle" moments. At first I was a bit disappointed when I learned you could only play as Star-Lord, but I think that this is what largely helped Square Enix avoid a repeat of the Avengers game. In the end I think this decision worked wonders. I have mixed feelings on the voice acting at times. If you get annoyed by overexaggerated voice acting, then you might find some of the characters a bit annoying - namely Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, and Gamora. Not a complete turn-away by any means though. Oh, and this game has TONS of dialogue. A lot of it is easily missed especially if you walk forward too far and trigger a new set of dialogue, silencing the one that was already playing. I think that was my biggest pet peeve with the game. The cherry on top, and probably my biggest draw to the game being a huge 80s metalhead, was the soundtrack. Most of them are tracks you have heard in many other games such as GTA, Saints Row, etc. but they work so well here. If nothing else, I'd say that makes it worth it. I am not even a real big Marvel/comic/superhero fan these days, but this game made me care a bit more about the lore, setting, and such.
    So... yeah. Essay over.

    Sad fact is that now gaming is so mainstream, a large majority of gamers are casuals who think that if a game has good graphics and is advertized on television then it's worth buying. Real gamers, non-casual gamers, know that graphics and fancy CGI trailers don't mean shit because a CGI trailer isn't gameplay footage and good graphics can NOT make a bad game good, but a good game CAN make bad graphics not matter.
    Anyway fuck AAA games and the people who keep buying them. We used to get good games. Now we mostly just get the gaming equivalent of a Rob Schneider "comedy" 10 times a year. A lowest common denominator pile of garbage designed to wring as much money from casual gamers as possible... and it's usually literally the same identical game as the last one in the franchise but with a couple of new maps/skins.

    The castle section was visually stunning but now after playing this game four times I can say the castle section is the worst map in village as it was linear for the majority of it's runtime and there were only two good puzzles in that section and one of them was optional and it lacked interesting combat sections too.

      What i allways find funny is that people with "extreme" opinions mostly cant handle an opinion about them. I mean, given the many points about FarCry he is actually right, the one he had to point out most was his own political agenda and throwing everybody under the bus who has not a problem with what he saw. And when you tell an opinion, you have to live with the answers. I was wondering which incident he meant in the first pick, now i have a clue ^^

I loved every 1 even more than the last (even primal) i even achieved the survival of the fittest for it (100% completion - expert difficulty - survivor mode on - permadeath on) But they started losing me was with 5 , i had never preordered a game in my life but with it being my favorite franchise and me loving every 1 i preordered the hope county edition for 180 dollars ....and bought that book that came out kinda telling the story from the perspective of someone that was from hope county ...and since that edition wouldnt arrive until the afternoon of the day 5 released i also bought the 60 dollar base game digitally ...so trust me when i say NOBODY wanted to love 5 more than me lol , i did love the setting and the idea of the cult taking over and while i had several little issues with it i could overlook most of them but what completely ruined it for me was just how ridiculously easy it was ...even on the new "infamous" difficulty and without getting any health upgrades and turning aim assist and enemy tags off and only using boomer with that god awful regenerating health there was not 1 single part from start to all 3 shitty endings that was even remotely challenging !!
    So with how disappointing 5 was and how retarded new dawn looked nd was the first fc i skipped and did not play , now il admit i did not play 6 either so i am judging it by its cover but i did not like anything i saw from it not having and difficulty settings to the no skill trees and enemy leveling systems an all the quirky crazy dumb shit and all the damn rpg crap ....i like some rpgs but not every game has to be a rpg!! Farcry used to be a semi realistic fps now its a arcadey rpg looter shooter, everyone bitches that every fc is just the same with a new coat of paint well i was ok with that lol i wish theyd be more like 2-primal ...hell primal mixed it up and did several new things, i really hope ubisoft takes their head out of their ass and goes back to putting some heart into their games and i always defended them several years ago when it was like cool to hate on them i really enjoyed all their games but not hear lately iv skipped wd3 acv and fcnd and fc6 and i have to mention how screwed up it was i had over 300 uplay points built up and now since they started taking them away from you im down to 100 which is bullshit !!
    I would love for the next farcry to be like in Columbia in the 80s and your a dea agent fighting the drug cartels and maybe you could even snort some devil booger sugar to give you crazy boosts lol but have it just like 3 and 4 were set up
