@TheTrollVtuber can you talk about two Japanese conglomerates with ties with a certain company, are investing into the anime and manga industry through their venture with a major publisher in one of your future videos? The situation has really become dire and I beg you to alert as many people as you can.😢
Disliking aesthetics is a perfectly valid reason to ignore a product, you can even use their own terms against it and claim that: as an apex ubersmench alpha male gigachad who'se peerless beautry shines as radiant as the sun itself you simply do not feel represented by the aesthetically defiscient main characters of current year entertainment
It's funny, the director or whoever said it's disingenuous for people to say "ugly main character probably means the game sucks". Yet the footage they've shown has only proved that mindset, lol.
Not only is it valid, at this point, it's practically the PRIMARY guide star to lead to quality. Dysgenic weirdos literally don't understand beauty and/or are horrified by it. They must make things hideous and ugly. So choosing the most beautiful option, the prettiest painting, the attractive woman . . . all of these things indicate that an actual human and not an anti-human progbot actually made the thing.
I played an RPG called Knights of the Chalice. The aesthetics were sub-par and I would maybe even go as far as to call it ugly. But it was a fun game nonetheless. Good gameplay and storytelling (well in that department KotC wasn't fantastic either but that's besides the point) can overcome bad aesthetics. But no matter how good your game looks: If neither the gameplay nor the story are engaging it sucks. Representation is nonsense any way you look at it. I don't need to see people who are exactly like me to have empathy for them to the point of identifying with them in the context of a game.
@@Baalur i play Underrail and Kenshi almost exclussively lately, i'm very used to games looking like shit, what i mean by "poor aesthetics" is the complete lack of the "cool factor" or on the very least any attempt at creating it. to be more precise, they are working to mitigate any trace of the "cool factor" by removing the "edge" because "edgy" stuff may offend someone somewhere
The reviews praising and talking about things that our very eyes are seeing as complete shit was bizarre and definitely made it obvious that it was a paid review. It's like gaslighting in real time.
GmanLives was shilling for Ubisoft, you could tell by the script he was reading. Ubisoft talking points. He claimed the speeder bike looked like the one in Return of the Jedi, when it had no resemblance. He also claimed it was Far Cry in space, LOL.
I think that one is more that they razzle-dazzled him. I don't think he gets special access or invites to press events very often, and they did that to him, wined and dined him a bit, and gave him a positive experience with the nice perks (probably some catered food, maybe some drinks at the press event) and his brain fell out as his guard was let down. Either that, which is forgivable once, or yeah, he's turned into a total shill.

woke ideology forces you to not look at stereotypes, so if you see one bad shitty cashgrab - YOU MUST HOPE and give them money once again, because there not-white people among devs.... why you want to make them starve by not giving them money for free.
@@are3287tbf lots of people who talk about it YEARS ago (me included), are ignored and just accused for various -ism (not exactly wrong, but still slandering) People make complain now because game qualities also fallen significantly

@@mrhades652 I remember this because that was *the* moment for me where I stopped trusting the games journalists. I still trust *some* publications in my country, mostly because we're not an English-speaking country and therefore too small of a market to be susceptible to such tactics (the biggest print magazine had peak 100k sales in 2004), but otherwise - screw them.
Easy solution - from now on everyone getting a Review Copy of a Ubisoft Game, is required to first watch Chris Stuckmann's Madame Web Review. That should teach them how to do it without takedowns
It's almost like the access media has admitted to this before.... Almost like, it's predictable and readily apparent just like the Rings Of Power "fans" they shipped out to review it before release. One of the biggest faults of this kind of behavior has been the steady loss of preorders in the industry because people don't trust the marketing or anything anymore. Now more and more people are waiting for (insert their personal trusted source here) to review the game or watch it live streamed before they consider buying it. All because they insist on trying to gotcha bait marketing crap instead of actually making a decent game anymore.
That's not how you make a video game. You would need staff who are both technically competent, but also quality oriented. If they had a quality focus, the game would be coming out in a year, with a significant amount of polish and intent. Instead, that money is going into marketing, influencers, Twitter bots, and a Disney Marketing agency.
@@Toliman. Of course not. If John Wick focus quality and even if the story was well written, without proper stuntmen, martial arts, weapon and military expertise, it will throw viewers off. I hope the people from the ubisoft group photo were the competent ones.
@@Ichi.Capeta Well, no. Game dev on this scale requires hundreds of animators, art and audio to get things through a pipeline of various process tasks. 30-40% of the game is art. 20% is animation & voice/mocap, 10% is the technical. The focus was not on the NPCs, because they likely used a more 'assassin's creed' style combat system. Hiding behind crates is likely a faulty mechanic because they want to make the game easier for reviewers. It can be fixed by making the Target search radius see through walls and see through stealth/crouch... but that also affects the difficulty radically. If you're in "stealth" and the game NPCs knows where you are ... is that good or bad. The actual design and programming is fairly minimal because the game engine handles a lot of recycling tasks. The problem is, Ubi doesn't do a lot of coding now. They have an art-heavy game, with lots of dialogue and mission/quest objectives, because that's the formula. The game fills a formula, Because that's how you get it out the door in 2-3 years. There's 2000 to 3000 items to put in these levels/"open areas" that you just randomly put into the world to 'dress it up'. But, if your worlds are a 3kmx3km box, or larger, then you have to fill the box with stuff to do. Landmarks, buildings, towns to remember where you are/were, et al. Each game item in a level or scene has to be tweaked or copied from an existing asset / game, Star Wars games tend to be 30% unique, and 70% urban/forest/desert environments, so there are a high degree of recycled assets, including animation and weapons. This tends to be 'normal' when you don't have a strong dev team to make q unique engine, a lot of the scope and environments are built using a design that copies and recycled to have test content ready to scale and plan out mission environments for testing.
To be honest it wasn't hard to count one and two together in order to realise what was going on with the marketing for this game. They are even using bots on X now to promote this garbage
The real question for me is why PietSmiet is involved with preview codes in the first place. With 2.47 million subscribers on RUclips and 800,000 followers on Twitch, they-being a team of five, not just one-are among the largest German gaming channels and shouldn't need this kind of access (anymore). Yet, they continue to work with publishers. I hope that they and others learn from this situation and strive to remain fully independent in the future.
Don't know them, but being big doesn't necessarily mean people care. You could just be one of the many early outlets that happens to get enough attention and more early reviews become a snowball effect. That, and I think a lot of viewers in general are just empty-headed people that'll click on whoever shows up first. Apparently a lot of people will subscribe but not even go to their subscription box, but go to the Home feed... which means you could easily miss new uploads.
The human brain is a pattern recognition machine. Ignoring the patterns it puts together and recognizes is called cognitive dissonance. Most people exist in this state of willful ignorance their entire lives. They do so deliberately.
What is amazing, is that we know know that anyone who get early access, can not be trusted in any opinion. So, not only do Ubisoft not get any return for money spent, the youtuber who take the money lose their viewers as well.
I am once again screaming at the clouds that it's common practice to buy from holding companies, a bundle of articles for various "news websites" to advertise your company.
Critics seem to serve little purpose. Either they rate it the same as everyone else, which shows they can be replaced by users. Or they rate it the opposite, showing that they have the opposite opinion of customers, meaning it is best to ignore them. It is not possible for a critic to review something in a way that it matters.
What these reviewers fail to realize is that this cuts both ways. If they give a good review to a shit product, and their audience buys said shit based on their word, that's only going to happen so many times before the audience stops listening to them.
Ubisoft would be the type of company that would massage, _"Russel the Love Muscle",_ edge you so hard before you goon, stop, and then ask for payment for the DLC, *_"Happy Ending"_*
Ubisoft is paying a lot of money for this fiasco. Just like the movies, the marketing campaign cost is just as much. Good luck on the profits Ubisoft. Lol
It's woke, who cares if it's good or bad? Besides, if it's woke, it's impossible to be good, period. But the main issue is that it's woke. It's from ideologies, people, and companies that hate you, OPENLY. I can't understand how the fck people still give money to these people/corporations.
Juuussttt...plaaaaaaayyy baaalllll. What can the reviewer get? An all expense paid trip to...somewhere. A...REAL canvas bag, INSTANT access to our...lies an deception. Yes alllll this and more can be yours IF you just....pllaaaaayyyyy baaallll.
Agreed. The game looks like nonsense. Just play old games and let these companies burn to the ground. The shill reviewers are nothing new. When i was younger I saw Jeff Gerstmann (spelling) get fired from Gamespot because he refused to get a bad game a good review. It is clear to me that gaming is going to get much worse before it gets better thanks to esg and die. The only game i am looking forward to, for now, is the new Darksiders that was announced. Other than that i am just sticking with Bloodborne/Dark Souls, L4D2, Doom/Quake (originals - endless custom content but ignore communities entirely because you will only find leftist politics and endless drama), SNES/Genesis games.
Did they finally have a falling out? I can't imagine that the way Dev's been acting towards his community as well as Kirsche has gone unnoticed And he already had a problem with the way Dev threw Pikamee to the wolves for no reason
I only want to add that this sort of thing isn't just with movie critics. It's inherent to ALL organizations. Governments, companies, religions. Groups start off with small collections of self-motivated individuals, where everyone knows each other and everyone is focused on a task. As they grow they collect bureaucracies and people who don't care about the primary task or product, but only about furthering their own career or goals. Even people who are concerned about the primary task or goal need to be careful or they'll make enemies with the corporate minded individuals who are only concerned with hierarchies and promotions. Eventually the people concerned with hierarchies and climbing the ladder will rise to the top, and quality will drastically decline. The only thing that can possibly restore quality is a crisis - a collapse that forces talented people back to the top.
Lol you're blind if you didn't realize this is what was happening when sites like IGN started popping up. Or you might need another kick in the stomach like when all the gaming sites tried their hardest to defend Battlefield 2042
GameSpot even had a very public controversy where they fired the reviwer of Kane and lynch 2 for give the game a bad score because Square Enix had paid them a but load in add money to promote the game. This was back in the PS3 era
In my company (global electric business) we have to do integrity and code of conduct trainings two times a year as this is super illegala and only hurt the market and foremost the customers
Alone that level or marketing is a bad sign , they think it can´t generate sales after the release , plain and simple . But must be said ubisoft really dropped the ball as well , can´t think of any failed game lately where we had clips of the game failing before release .
Sometimes i feel they show how terrible it is but say the opposite so people can see the reality of it without them losing their job, but that's probably too optimistic of me
Is it consumer awareness or a complete market shift with prices hitting them in the face so hard, they can't ignore it? Not the internet gamer but the normie. More games have gotten so bad in their personal experience without ever checking on the internet or being told to not buy. Such low value for cost that they're sticking with old games or have to be selective with the inflation going on. One can easily correct itself, because if Ubisoft starts making good new games (yeah right 😂😂😂) they can come back quickly, because they're highly informed and seek out new experiences. The other it is almost impossible to ever make a comeback, they purely go by their own old experience while not seeking out new ones.
This is just another reason why you never pre order games. The early access reviews are rubbish. Wait for the game to launch & see what people who aren't paid shills say about it.
I am not an expert obviusly but I think if bot assasins creed and starwars flops ubisoft could be done, like I think they are all or nothing on this 2 games
The only time it would be acceptable, is if you showed content they hadn't revealed themselves (for surprise/spoiler reasons). Or you released your video before an embargo (unfair to other outlets). But those obviously weren't the case here.

Eventually the people concerned with hierarchies and climbing the ladder will rise to the top, and quality will drastically decline. The only thing that can possibly restore quality is a crisis - a collapse that forces talented people back to the top.
I forgot ubosft existed since I set them to ignore on steam.
Vee’s spoon arc is getting interesting my dudes
I saw some ytuber say it was red dead redemption two in space 😂
How can you trust your eyes so well Vee? My eyeballs must be lying to me!
Nothing says confidence in your product by massaging reviews
I hope they flop then they double down then flop, flop, flop and then cease to be a company at all.
It doesn´t have to be innovative, it has to be STAR WARS. Yet it seems to fail at even that.
Lol you're blind if you didn't realize this is what was happening when sites like IGN started popping up. Or you might need another kick in the stomach like when all the gaming sites tried their hardest to defend Battlefield 2042
GameSpot even had a very public controversy where they fired the reviwer of Kane and lynch 2 for give the game a bad score because Square Enix had paid them a but load in add money to promote the game.
This was back in the PS3 era
Ah TB best game critic...still miss him, they dont make them like that this days
That explains IGN's fluff piece.
In my company (global electric business) we have to do integrity and code of conduct trainings two times a year as this is super illegala and only hurt the market and foremost the customers
Back in my day studios would release a demo
To help reiterate what said in video, Stereo Typing Works! Other name for it is Pattern Recondition.
A couple of streamers? Vee, I had over 10 content creators spam my youtube feed with the Outlaws slop.
Pattern recognition is a super power to the progressive. It's a form of understanding they simply lack.
I care little they got cough, I do despise those that take the bag, the shills and payola takers that defend the BS to then deny they did.
yep. future proves the past.
Poor SFO.
no pattern recognition.
a sad condition, comes with being canadian.
Is so very sad.
For the algorithm ;)
RIP TB!
Funny how i get an Outlaws commercial roght after the video
Alone that level or marketing is a bad sign , they think it can´t generate sales after the release , plain and simple .
But must be said ubisoft really dropped the ball as well , can´t think of any failed game lately where we had clips of the game failing before release .
Sometimes i feel they show how terrible it is but say the opposite so people can see the reality of it without them losing their job, but that's probably too optimistic of me
And somehow you still have people defending this. How bad must things get?
Is it consumer awareness or a complete market shift with prices hitting them in the face so hard, they can't ignore it? Not the internet gamer but the normie. More games have gotten so bad in their personal experience without ever checking on the internet or being told to not buy. Such low value for cost that they're sticking with old games or have to be selective with the inflation going on. One can easily correct itself, because if Ubisoft starts making good new games (yeah right 😂😂😂) they can come back quickly, because they're highly informed and seek out new experiences. The other it is almost impossible to ever make a comeback, they purely go by their own old experience while not seeking out new ones.
This is just another reason why you never pre order games. The early access reviews are rubbish.
Wait for the game to launch & see what people who aren't paid shills say about it.
I am not an expert obviusly but I think if bot assasins creed and starwars flops ubisoft could be done, like I think they are all or nothing on this 2 games
Massaging? Wtf UBI????
Isn't is required that they disclose that it is a paid review, then?
wow !
The gmanlives video was so bad. Very funny
Does anyone really need a review for an Assassians Creed game? I mean dont you basically already get the gist by now?
The only time it would be acceptable, is if you showed content they hadn't revealed themselves (for surprise/spoiler reasons). Or you released your video before an embargo (unfair to other outlets). But those obviously weren't the case here.
Watch film Trap - film is nice .... just by critics admitting how they hate it
