      No offense, I think people are being way too forgiving of the Fallout show as a consequence of other media being way worse in comparison. I am only on the first episode and you already have a "badass" pregnant woman doing plumbing work and later shooting guns with a fork in her eye, the main girl shows she's great at most things, the Frozen trope where marriage is for naive girls to get tricked by evil men, a white dude literally punching a black dude to keep him out of his nuclear shelter, another evil white dude who literally stabs the main girl with a massive knife and yet she still fights him off, a bunch of other beta men, an unrealistically diverse cast with muscle raiders submitting to a scrawny minority woman, a gender confused member of The Brotherhood of Steel, etc.
      It's not the worst, but it's definitely very predictable due to the pressure to fill up a woke checklist. I don't want to come off as overly negative, but at the same time the "it could be worse/this is fine" attitude means bashing masculinity, traditional hetero relations, and whiteness is just continuing to be normalized. It's only going to take another generation and people won't even remember a time where you could enjoy a piece of entertainment without it constantly reminding the viewer of the "correct" identity politics.
      I'm latino by the way, I just get tired of the constant subtle and overt messaging that spills into reality where I regularly have people encouraging me to hate whites and conservatives for ridiculous reasons.

      @@rheacevert Perhaps that makes sense in a vacuum, but the same messaging is literally everywhere all the time. It's hard to ignore when the same people acting like it's not a big deal don't seem to feel the same way when those same messages are directed to pretty much anyone except white people. The "Why do you care?" indifference conveniently only seems to ever go in one direction often without recognizing that these types of decisions aren't made unless someone specifically thinks they are necessary due to their own sense of morality policing.

    Embracer did the split purely so they could load Asmodee with the all the debt they had acquired (all 900m of it!) as it was the only unit that could refinance the debt. Basically they've protected the game development units, at potentially the expense of Asmodee.

    • @bite1a
      @bite1a 22 дня назад +8

      Pure nonsense, as the debt and Asmodee as a company are owned by the same shareholders regardless of where the debt is held and Asmodee held more debt when Embracer bought it and moved the debt into Embracer. No one with any kind of business sense finances a gigantic physical game stock ($700m) with equity. That would be stupid and value destructive.

    If Microsoft hasn't tapped one of its studios to work on Fallout, then they missed out. Bethesda won't even be able to get to it for many years, and it wasn't their original creation.

    19:30 I've read many, many reviews on Steam and in all honesty - the game is not the issue here.
    The real problem is that people just don't understand what an Early Access release is. They fail to understand that this is not the final version of the game - on the contrary, it is explicitly released in this early build so that the players can give feedback and things can be changed (and no, that's not just wild guessing, that's what the developers have said). It's the Larian way of using Early Access to test and try what works and what doesn't and develop the game along the lines of feedback.

    Last week you highlighted No Rest For The Wicked. It sounded very ambitious so I became a day 1 player despite not being much of a gamer. I have had no interest in playing any game like it before. That being said I am absolutely addicted. Many of the negative reviews are said to have come from people who took a peek and didn't like what they saw and dipped. Many have stuck it out and are thrilled. It got 4 patches in week 1. They really care. Day 1 was rough. People with nice pcs were stuck with potatoe fps. While the performance has increased with each patch it's not a high fps game, but it's also doesn't need to be.
    I emplore any and everyone to give it a chance. It's not expensive and a refund is always possible.

    Never in my whole life as a Fallout fan, have I been both extremely enthusiastic yet incredibly frustrated because we have the most amazing lore expanding adaptation as video game fans, but have had no substantial Fallout game content in years. You’re right; Microsoft must be beyond annoyed that Bethesda has sat on the IP instead of contracting a new installment out. Microsoft could literally be making $1 billion at this moment with a new Fallout title.

    Stellar Blade is a double-A game.

Those are the same qualities which also carried other diamonds-in-the-rough, like Demon's Souls or Dragon's Dogma, thru the years]

      ​@@None-lx8kjthe difference is that people are comparing Manor Lords to *strategy* games - and mostly RTS titles like Total War.
      Slavic Magic (the dev) isn't giving his *opinion*, he is stating quite simply *what the game is*: a game that is 90% focused on city-building and resource management, with RTS combat elements on the side. People are hyping the game up as a "Total-War killer", when in reality the game is much, much more similar to games like Anno, Cities Skylines, Ostriv, and Banished. He doesn't want people to give themselves the wrong expectations and be disappointed when the game is *not* the next AoE or Total War - but actually just medieval City Skylines mixed with Ostriv.

In either instance many of them hurt the customer experience, and harmed many smaller game retailers' chances of competing in/against the online market in the long term.

I’m happy for the brand new team’s first shot at a metroidvania, but when comparing it to the likes of Ori and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown it just doesn’t hold up for me. Story is nice, but gameplay is king, especially for that genre.
