We have watched many great videos and opinions about a game you use to love back in the day. Though grinding in this game is never ending chore to strive to get the best gear we still love this game. Even though the developers of this game keep stacking crap on us to make it extremely difficult since day one. It would be awesome to have you weigh in on what is going on today with the Division 2. The developers want to make seasonal characters and just want to use the same playbook as Diablo 4. I personally would have them better say that they will no longer support or make new content because they are working on Division 3 than to be butchered and punished for no reason. SkillUp we the Division community need you. I hope you can weigh in on this issue. My apologies that we are asking for help on this new video. Thank you 🙏
Interesting thing about the Steam lawsuit, the law firm backing the case is allegedly the same law firm that has an ongoing lawsuit for 5 billion dollars with playstation. Not sure if the information i found is accurate mind you.
Cowardly to not make light of IGN harrassing the Wukong devs with false allegations. Not surprised you don't want to ruffle feathers but if you're gonna call out scumbags like Bobby when he did stuff wrong, you should absolutely do the same for a company who try to smear another company's name through lies.

Why is a 2D sidescroller taking so long? It’s such a simple game like wtf is their deal? They don’t like money or working apparently. Should just sell rights to me and I’d actually work on it.. 😂
Hello SkillUp, I know it sucks but I really appreciate you covering industry layoffs and closures, I was part of the industry and the reality that I'll need to change careers is becoming more and more of a realization.

The industry wouldn't just need to recover but to go through a resurgence for any hope of me gaining employment again.
It's been eight years since Prime 4's first announcement, and seventeen years since Metroid Prime 3 ended on a teaser of Sylux as antagonist. Metroid fans are the most patient on the planet.
I STILL remember one of Nintendo's heads making a RUclips video apologizing to the Metroid fans. Begging our pardon because they had to scrap Prime 4 because it wasn't shaping up to meet their standards, asking for our patience as they restarted from scratch, now working with Retro who originally helped them with the trilogy. From that brief clip of actual gameplay, I'm still excited. I love that they wanted the game to be a good one, even if that meant starting over. I personally hope it's more like Echos than Corruption, but I'll take anything Prime now with a grateful smile.
Or maybe they are so stressed that they explode outside with everything 😂. Tbh I'm one of them, yesterday was just *Chefs kiss* when they showed Metroid, Marvel Vs Capcom, Mario "destroy" parties and Mario and Luigi brother ship. So damn happy 🎉

For those who don't know, the reason Capcom haven't been putting a lot of their older stuff/collections on XBox is down to the engine they used for these games, the MT Framework engine. They stopped supporting it on XBox a while back, presumably due to a poor cost-return equation, and I believe they instead switched to... well, the Switch instead. Any games that use the RE Engine is easier to put on XBox, but not stuff based on that MT Framework one.
32:47 crucial context: the AT mines were a reward for previous major orders that got missed out, so at this point it's just funny to keep choosing the other option instead of finally unlocking the mines

lol! If ever a comment deserved “cope” it would be yours. It hasn’t been released yet, dude. You are going to fume if it’s it receives high scores by reviewers and players and sells well. Judging by how good the recent remake was, I’m willing to take that bet.
I am so unbelievably excited for the new Zelda game (Link game?), this is something i've wanted out of the series for a long time. I was not really able to engage with the newer games like Breath of the Wild or its sequel, so seeing something with more emphasis on puzzle mechanics is quite nice.
i really dont like the new zelda game it looks insanely lame (especially for zelda's protag debut) and gimmicky, and i love botw and totk (i still dont get how people dont fw totk/botw am i too young?
I am finally intrigued in a new Zelda (Link?) game! But if it has weapons/items break on me or if I have to craft some potions or other recipes, then fuck it.
Re: Miyazaki. I honestly believe with Japan Studio’s closure, they’ve lost the source code to Bloodborne 😭 Also in that interview he said that “lay offs won’t happen while I’m in charge”, echoing other Japanese studios where execs have taken a pay cut and that “staff worried about their jobs don’t make bold games”. Probably worth mentioning in the lay offs section, Skill!
Please do a Review of Wayfinder Echoes!! We are always asking for developers to not kill their games, now, that they didn't, please, hold a candle to them with some spotlight! This was an amazing thing they did with a dead live service game and something that we need more on the industry.
@@AsteroSloth A discussion on FPS isn't a review. If he wants eyeballs on his opinion, don't bury it within a 1 hr+ chat. Many viewers like me never watch those.
@@Keithustus sure sure, but all that is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and all that. Those pods still make 100k+ views too. He made a shoutout here. A review would be awesome, all I’m saying is that it’s unfair to say he’s not shared it with his audience.
I feel like nintendo really anticipated having to transition to new hardware. The transition to the Wii U may have been one of the most important reasons the console flopped so hard, there were no games for years because developers weren't used to HD so game either took longer to develop or straight up released incomplete like Mario tennis ultra smash. With the switch I feel like nintendo is using these last 2 years to keep fans happy with smaller games and remakes while also giving time to developers to get used to the new amount of detail the new hardware demands.
The real question is...will it remain a full generation behind in power, and graphical quality, or finally finally be on par with sony, and xbox in terms of console power. I predict it will be in a weird place between the two, slightly better than like a ps4, but not where it should be.
@@jakeryan2805 But why should it try to be as powerful as a PS5 or Xbox? The real question here is what would Nintendo and the people buying the next console get from that?
@@MrPF It needs to be stronger for the simple fact that so many third party games run like crap on it. So many games had to skip the switch cause it just couldnt run them. Im aware nintendo will make it work for all their first party offerings, but having it be on par with everything else is a necessary step at this point I would say. On the flip side I guess it doesn't matter. It will outsell anything and everything either way.
@@jakeryan2805If it's about as strong as a PS4 then it will have access to basically the entire cross-gen period. And *if* the CPU is strong enough, they can even have a lot of ports that absolutely butcher the graphics like we have right now. I'm cautiosly optimistic that this will work out
@@jakeryan2805 given how many games nowadays still run on a ps4/xbox one, a switch 2 that is on par with like a ps4 pro or something similar will handle modern games just fine.
Trademark. They'd have to go through a whole extra process to do all that, AND lose some portion of their audience. "Legend of Link? What's that? No bother."
My earbuds cut out after you said "The other planet's name was Marfark- Wait what?" so it was just silently zooming in and out for several seconds and I was dying of laughter because I thought it was part of the joke that you were so baffled by the name. The best part about that whole event is the community has been trying and failing to get those mines for like 2 months now. And they WILLINGLY said "Fuck em" and saved the virtual children instead.
Oh my god. Marvel vs Capcom collection will be a day one buy for me. MVC2 is my fav fighting game of all time and 20 years ago when I worked at a Gumby’s Pizza place they had the arcade machine in the lobby and I played it every day while working there because it only cost a quarter! It’s finally Marvel versus Capcom two on a platform that’s not ridiculous. I’m also very glad I didn’t buy that arcade one up cabinet that was poorly made I really really hope I live long enough to see this collection released. I’ve wanted it for decades. Now we just need Bloodborne to have a proper PC port and life will be complete.
Ralph, please never let up the economic lectures, they're always valid and we always need more people talking about it. The games industry could be so much better with an even healthier crop of talented folks working in it if greedy execs stopped being greedy for even 5 minutes.
Oh Ralph you sweet summer child, dont you remember? Zelda WAS playable in the 90s! The CD-i games! Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure! EVERYONE loves those right? Such beloved games in (not) Nintendo's pantheon!
When I first saw that Zelda game and heard that it was now Zelda going off to save Link, I won't lie, my eyes began to roll... and then they showed the Pokemon-like mechanics 😮 That could be an interesting one for sure.
Honestly: It brought tears to my eyes when they revealed the MP4 trailer. This series means so much to me and MP1 was my first so I hold the Prime Trilogy close to my old gettin gamer heart.
Now if only they can find a way to redesign that HUD. I feel like it takes too much screen and there's a sense of claustrophobia. I get it we're inside a helmet, but still...
Talos Principle 2 DLC came out as well and it's amazing! So much content, very difficult puzzles, a variety of Easter eggs, incredible graphics. Simply awesome!
On the Nintendo Direct, 3 big announcements that weren't mentioned here: 1. Lots of people seemed to be interested in Mio. 2. As one of the 10 Romancing Saga 2 fans on the planet, I'm pumped for that remake. Finally, and most important: ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS 2 FINALLY GETS LOCALIZED
I would argue that if your intro sequence has enough dialogue problems that many people notice and comment, then it’s probably telling about the rest of the game.
exactly, i honestly cant think of 1 game that got cooked in the comments on its trailer that ended up being really good. If the dialogue is cringe and gameplay looks lackluster then take it at face value and safely assume thats the entire game. Dragon age doesnt deserve your optimism
Yea he says you can’t judge a book by reading the first 3 pages, but isn’t the exact time you can judge a book? If I’ve read 3 pages then I have more than enough info to know if the book is gonna be terrible or not
@@jacob3761I don’t know if I agree with that. Remember how bad the How to Train Your Dragon trailers were when they shoved all of the worst jokes into the commercials? Remember how bad the first season of Bojack Horseman was until it skyrocketed into a great show?
@@ddub6137 Anymore that's like every game though, I personally don't take any of that into account because the internet has become so much knee jerk rage bait that rarely reflects the real quality of what is being screamed about. I don't think this game is going to be game of the year as it looks like they're hewing pretty close to Inquisition tone/visuals but that doesn't mean it is going to be a bad game. They also stated that they cut out portions of that first level to keep spoilers to a minimum which means we only got to see stuff that had either no context or talked about the last game. So we haven't really even seen the intro sequence. I'll hold my verdict until we get to see more gameplay with actual skills as very few games look fun or engaging when most of what you see in action is the default attack animation on repeat.
@@ddub6137Super Mario 3D World, Shadow of Mordor, Demon's Souls. I still quote the Stranger of Paradise trailer ("Chaos!") but apparently the game was a pretty good time. I think Doom 2016 had some bad trailers; the online sentiment at the time was that they were cashing in on the IP with a terrible reboot... Until the game came out. GotG had a bad trailer. The original Battlefront 2 actually had really terrible trailers, and that game was phenomenal.
The internal bleeding I had to endure when Ralph said "...for the first time we are not playing as Zelda". You sunova...😂 Fantastic roundup as always! Much appreciated. I will be rocking side to side on my cold kitchen floor until the elden ring dlc finally is out. Took time off of work to play this. Some things never change! Cheers to all that will play it too and much fun!
Working somewhere doesn't mean you're an expert at everything that place stands for. I forget the mythical figure, but the vast majority of any company is mostly people unrelated to the actual product, things like HR, support staff, payroll, IT, lawyers, and so on. The dude who cleans the toilets at a Big 4 accounting firm still works there, but I wouldn't go to him for financial advice. More importantly though I'm just tired of hearing about it in an attempt to incite rage, I stopped reading the news because the constant click bait rage bait they all give, and shillup has been doing it all year trying to get us worked up about lay offs. Is it a big deal? Maybe, but I'm not watching his youtube channel for an excuse to get mad. I just want video game news and I'm getting closer and closer to unsubbing every time he goes off on unrelated tangents about how evil everyone is.
@@meow2175you should probably go to another channel that only cares about games and not about the people who make them 🤷 Ralph clearly cares about the people who make games and wants players to be informed about it. For us working in games, I imagine the majority of us very much appreciate it. If you're tired of it, imagine how people working in games feel about the constant uncertainty as well as those whose lives have been affected by layoffs. If you don't care about people, realise the games you play are gonna get worse as people are stressed and anxious. As companies squeeze more out of fewer people, things are gonna fall behind and quality will drop. Just find another youtuber who doesn't talk about.
@@meow2175 AAA game publishers are exactly that though, it's harder to pretend otherwise and call it normal because it isn't. In fact, our gaming industry currently is so absurdly broken that the event in the last 1 year alone effectively ranks among the worst in the history of tech related industry. And you really should just unsub from ralph if his comment on those bothers you, because part of the reason why a lot of ppl listens to him is that he didn't just gloss that over and pretend there's nothing wrong, kinda the opposite and rightfully so given the catastrophic events of even just the last 1 year. And he isn't going to change just for you when so many more of his subscribers are subscribing precisely because he doesn't turn a blind eye to it. You can go to the more mainstream gaming news sources (ones that are almost all owned by IGN now) if you want less unpleasant news of our gaming industry. Those typically avoids putting too much reports and comments on this dark side of our game industry since that does come with certain negative effect to their bottom line.

I dove into Wayfinder after the Echoes update and I concur with Edmund's sentiments: a really fantastic ARPG (3rd person as opposed to the traditional isometric view) that really has been made better. Latency issues are gone, no microtransactions, and a full roster of playable characters that hopefully grows over time.
Night dive; never to fail at remaking niche, yet amazing games from decades past. I genuinely won’t be surprised if we see things like “urban chaos” or “razes hell” remastered by them. And I’m so here for it. Can’t wait for the thing remaster!
Thanks skill. Your work on these are truly awesome and bring a little bit of joy to me every week. Keep up the good work, and press F to pay respects to all the Marfarkers.
Damn, was looking forward to that game 'life by you'. I love Paradox games, but they seem to be in rough weather, also with the state cities 2 launched. Am still waiting to jump in when the console update drops. Expect the game to kinda come out of how I see it an unofficial early access state, which I argue it's still in at this point.

The thing I heard that I liked the most about Dragon Age Veilguard was that FF12 was an inspiration. If you're trying to make a party based, action game where your companions are still capable of complicated actions, FF12 is what I would follow.
Shillup my man, will we ever see your coverage of the Path of Exile 2 event? Saw that you were in the behind the scenes video and am keen to get your perspective as someone who hasn't really played much of PoE 1.
is steam's 30% cut too much though? you get to host your game on the biggest distribution platform on the PC, you get a cloud service for your player's save files, you get a modding platform, you get a forum, you get a multiplayer/friendlist framework, you get to make market items that you can profit off of, heck when you bring your game out of early access your game gets 5 million guaranteed views to players who enjoy similar games. it would be great if publishers could choose which features they want and that those would affect steams cut, but i think steam offers a lot of features for those 30%.
@@Ceece20al lot of of those arguments are made by Apple and Google for their stores. And it still sounds like crap tbh. It doesn’t need to be that high. The point is they could lower it and still make a huge profit. However, That extra % going to developers would make huge difference for many of them. Particularly the smaller and middle size ones. Hell, it might even mean jobs saved, and more invested in games. The issue is people like Steam and don’t want to criticize it.
@makasete30 Those aren't really comparable bc Google and Apple control the OS (Android, IOS) giving them much greater leverage. With steam there is absolutely nothing stopping you from buying games on another store like epic or Xbox. The only thing in this lawsuit that is a legitimate concern to me is the allegation that steam is forcing devs to not sell their games for lower prices on other stores.
@@makasete30 you’re making more $$ on Steam than anywhere else. That money would not have come without Steam. That’s not money that’s yours. That’s money that’s owed for services given by Steam.

The switch is seven years old, which is about the right age for a console. If it were >8 years old, it would be rather old, but as it stands, it's just about at end of life.
I agree. Everyone acts like it’s well past its life time when that’s just silly… other than the fact that we desperately need a power upgrade for a Nintendo console.
@@Dyrvega thats because when the switch came out, the chip it used was already years old, so it was almost already outdated only a year or 2 after launch.
The biggest surprise for me was Fairy Tail 2. I was sure we wouldn't get a second console game because I thought the first one bombed. Maybe folks were expecting it to be a fighting game or a Musou game like every anime tie-in game, instead of an RPG. But I'm happy because for its shoestring budget, it was a fun time and a good experience for Fairy Tail fans like me.
I keep seeing that this is the "first" zelda game where you play as zelda, but Zelda's adventure in 1996 literally has you playing as Zelda to rescue link from Ganon.
Just an addition: Cyan (Worlds) are the creators of the original Myst as well as all the remakes. And Rand Miller is still at the helm so the remake is really coming from the original creator.

You are going to fume if it’s it receives high scores by reviewers and players and sells well. Judging by how good the recent remake was, I’m willing to take that bet.
Prime was always about adventuring and puzzle solving first. Shooting worked fine for what purpose it served.
And probably Nintendo's lawyers as well lol..😮💨
I am so unbelievably excited for the new Zelda game (Link game?), this is something i've wanted out of the series for a long time.
I was not really able to engage with the newer games like Breath of the Wild or its sequel, so seeing something with more emphasis on puzzle mechanics is quite nice.
Do check out the shrines as they are some of the best puzzles in the game and can be accessed without attempting the story and rpg mechanics
i really dont like the new zelda game it looks insanely lame (especially for zelda's protag debut) and gimmicky, and i love botw and totk (i still dont get how people dont fw totk/botw am i too young?
I am finally intrigued in a new Zelda (Link?) game! But if it has weapons/items break on me or if I have to craft some potions or other recipes, then fuck it.
ITS MAHVEL BABY! WE ARE SO BACK!
is it time to start stealing pies again!?
You missed Still Wakes Deep, that came out this week as well. It´s going pretty under the radar which is a shame, because it´s really good.
He mentioned it in the gamepass releases section
@@Unherist Yes, but in the gamepass section he said that he had mentioned the game earlier in the show, but he never did.
@@ktysdaljust go watch darksydephils playthrough
@@ktysdal Oh I didn't notice that, you're right.
Are you playing it? Is it solid? My main concern was that it would feel kind of low budget. How is it?
Re: Miyazaki. I honestly believe with Japan Studio’s closure, they’ve lost the source code to Bloodborne 😭
Also in that interview he said that “lay offs won’t happen while I’m in charge”, echoing other Japanese studios where execs have taken a pay cut and that “staff worried about their jobs don’t make bold games”. Probably worth mentioning in the lay offs section, Skill!
Please do a Review of Wayfinder Echoes!!
We are always asking for developers to not kill their games, now, that they didn't, please, hold a candle to them with some spotlight! This was an amazing thing they did with a dead live service game and something that we need more on the industry.
This.
He already did twice in FPS but a quick overview video would for sure help. A review review would go along too 😳
@@AsteroSloth A discussion on FPS isn't a review. If he wants eyeballs on his opinion, don't bury it within a 1 hr+ chat. Many viewers like me never watch those.
@@Keithustus sure sure, but all that is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and all that. Those pods still make 100k+ views too. He made a shoutout here. A review would be awesome, all I’m saying is that it’s unfair to say he’s not shared it with his audience.
Don’t forget DRG season 5 coming out for console 27Jun. Already out for PC. Season 5 looks amazing.
As a PC player, it's incredible. Rock and Stone, brother!
I feel like nintendo really anticipated having to transition to new hardware. The transition to the Wii U may have been one of the most important reasons the console flopped so hard, there were no games for years because developers weren't used to HD so game either took longer to develop or straight up released incomplete like Mario tennis ultra smash. With the switch I feel like nintendo is using these last 2 years to keep fans happy with smaller games and remakes while also giving time to developers to get used to the new amount of detail the new hardware demands.
The real question is...will it remain a full generation behind in power, and graphical quality, or finally finally be on par with sony, and xbox in terms of console power. I predict it will be in a weird place between the two, slightly better than like a ps4, but not where it should be.
@@jakeryan2805 But why should it try to be as powerful as a PS5 or Xbox?
The real question here is what would Nintendo and the people buying the next console get from that?
@@MrPF It needs to be stronger for the simple fact that so many third party games run like crap on it. So many games had to skip the switch cause it just couldnt run them. Im aware nintendo will make it work for all their first party offerings, but having it be on par with everything else is a necessary step at this point I would say. On the flip side I guess it doesn't matter. It will outsell anything and everything either way.
@@jakeryan2805If it's about as strong as a PS4 then it will have access to basically the entire cross-gen period. And *if* the CPU is strong enough, they can even have a lot of ports that absolutely butcher the graphics like we have right now. I'm cautiosly optimistic that this will work out
@@jakeryan2805 given how many games nowadays still run on a ps4/xbox one, a switch 2 that is on par with like a ps4 pro or something similar will handle modern games just fine.
Metroid is finally Prime 4. This has been a long and great day.
How did they miss naming it "The Legend of Link: Echoes of Wisdom" is beyond me.
Trademark. They'd have to go through a whole extra process to do all that, AND lose some portion of their audience. "Legend of Link? What's that? No bother."
My earbuds cut out after you said "The other planet's name was Marfark- Wait what?" so it was just silently zooming in and out for several seconds and I was dying of laughter because I thought it was part of the joke that you were so baffled by the name.
The best part about that whole event is the community has been trying and failing to get those mines for like 2 months now. And they WILLINGLY said "Fuck em" and saved the virtual children instead.
Cancer survivor here 👋 thanks Shillup ❤
Oh my god. Marvel vs Capcom collection will be a day one buy for me. MVC2 is my fav fighting game of all time and 20 years ago when I worked at a Gumby’s Pizza place they had the arcade machine in the lobby and I played it every day while working there because it only cost a quarter! It’s finally Marvel versus Capcom two on a platform that’s not ridiculous. I’m also very glad I didn’t buy that arcade one up cabinet that was poorly made
I really really hope I live long enough to see this collection released. I’ve wanted it for decades.
Now we just need Bloodborne to have a proper PC port and life will be complete.
I gotta say, doing a charity stream is so unintentionally funny considering how close you used to be with Jirard
we don't talk about that here
Ralph, please never let up the economic lectures, they're always valid and we always need more people talking about it.
The games industry could be so much better with an even healthier crop of talented folks working in it if greedy execs stopped being greedy for even 5 minutes.
Oh Ralph you sweet summer child, dont you remember? Zelda WAS playable in the 90s! The CD-i games! Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure! EVERYONE loves those right? Such beloved games in (not) Nintendo's pantheon!
When I first saw that Zelda game and heard that it was now Zelda going off to save Link, I won't lie, my eyes began to roll... and then they showed the Pokemon-like mechanics 😮 That could be an interesting one for sure.

Hey, I just wanted to say, thank you for being a pretty consistent positive of our hobby. I appreciate you every week and love what you do. Thank you.
Honestly: It brought tears to my eyes when they revealed the MP4 trailer. This series means so much to me and MP1 was my first so I hold the Prime Trilogy close to my old gettin gamer heart.
How is that old?
Brothership is a word, it is just an archaic word. It was first used over a thousand years ago.
They gave Metroid the D00M 2016 treatment. I'm too excited.
Now if only they can find a way to redesign that HUD. I feel like it takes too much screen and there's a sense of claustrophobia. I get it we're inside a helmet, but still...

Talos Principle 2 DLC came out as well and it's amazing! So much content, very difficult puzzles, a variety of Easter eggs, incredible graphics. Simply awesome!
The Princesses' name is Peach Ralph come on you should know this

On the Nintendo Direct, 3 big announcements that weren't mentioned here:
1. Lots of people seemed to be interested in Mio.
2. As one of the 10 Romancing Saga 2 fans on the planet, I'm pumped for that remake.
Finally, and most important:
ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS 2 FINALLY GETS LOCALIZED
I would argue that if your intro sequence has enough dialogue problems that many people notice and comment, then it’s probably telling about the rest of the game.
exactly, i honestly cant think of 1 game that got cooked in the comments on its trailer that ended up being really good. If the dialogue is cringe and gameplay looks lackluster then take it at face value and safely assume thats the entire game. Dragon age doesnt deserve your optimism
Yea he says you can’t judge a book by reading the first 3 pages, but isn’t the exact time you can judge a book? If I’ve read 3 pages then I have more than enough info to know if the book is gonna be terrible or not
@@jacob3761I don’t know if I agree with that. Remember how bad the How to Train Your Dragon trailers were when they shoved all of the worst jokes into the commercials? Remember how bad the first season of Bojack Horseman was until it skyrocketed into a great show?
@@ddub6137 Anymore that's like every game though, I personally don't take any of that into account because the internet has become so much knee jerk rage bait that rarely reflects the real quality of what is being screamed about. I don't think this game is going to be game of the year as it looks like they're hewing pretty close to Inquisition tone/visuals but that doesn't mean it is going to be a bad game. They also stated that they cut out portions of that first level to keep spoilers to a minimum which means we only got to see stuff that had either no context or talked about the last game. So we haven't really even seen the intro sequence. I'll hold my verdict until we get to see more gameplay with actual skills as very few games look fun or engaging when most of what you see in action is the default attack animation on repeat.
@@ddub6137Super Mario 3D World, Shadow of Mordor, Demon's Souls. I still quote the Stranger of Paradise trailer ("Chaos!") but apparently the game was a pretty good time.
I think Doom 2016 had some bad trailers; the online sentiment at the time was that they were cashing in on the IP with a terrible reboot... Until the game came out.
GotG had a bad trailer.
The original Battlefront 2 actually had really terrible trailers, and that game was phenomenal.
Honestly Mad Respect about the layoff take, and thanks for using your platform to voice that and echo sentiments we all feel. Cheers brother
The game on cancer event sounds awesome. Thanks for getting involved with something like that. Will definitely show up…and pay up 😂

Cheers to all that will play it too and much fun!
Love how some people tell Ralph he knows nothing about finance and economics when he literally worked at a Big 4 accounting firm lol
Working somewhere doesn't mean you're an expert at everything that place stands for.
I forget the mythical figure, but the vast majority of any company is mostly people unrelated to the actual product, things like HR, support staff, payroll, IT, lawyers, and so on. The dude who cleans the toilets at a Big 4 accounting firm still works there, but I wouldn't go to him for financial advice.
More importantly though I'm just tired of hearing about it in an attempt to incite rage, I stopped reading the news because the constant click bait rage bait they all give, and shillup has been doing it all year trying to get us worked up about lay offs.
Is it a big deal? Maybe, but I'm not watching his youtube channel for an excuse to get mad. I just want video game news and I'm getting closer and closer to unsubbing every time he goes off on unrelated tangents about how evil everyone is.
@@meow2175you should probably go to another channel that only cares about games and not about the people who make them 🤷
Ralph clearly cares about the people who make games and wants players to be informed about it. For us working in games, I imagine the majority of us very much appreciate it. If you're tired of it, imagine how people working in games feel about the constant uncertainty as well as those whose lives have been affected by layoffs.
If you don't care about people, realise the games you play are gonna get worse as people are stressed and anxious. As companies squeeze more out of fewer people, things are gonna fall behind and quality will drop.
Just find another youtuber who doesn't talk about.
@@meow2175 AAA game publishers are exactly that though, it's harder to pretend otherwise and call it normal because it isn't. In fact, our gaming industry currently is so absurdly broken that the event in the last 1 year alone effectively ranks among the worst in the history of tech related industry.
And you really should just unsub from ralph if his comment on those bothers you, because part of the reason why a lot of ppl listens to him is that he didn't just gloss that over and pretend there's nothing wrong, kinda the opposite and rightfully so given the catastrophic events of even just the last 1 year. And he isn't going to change just for you when so many more of his subscribers are subscribing precisely because he doesn't turn a blind eye to it.
You can go to the more mainstream gaming news sources (ones that are almost all owned by IGN now) if you want less unpleasant news of our gaming industry. Those typically avoids putting too much reports and comments on this dark side of our game industry since that does come with certain negative effect to their bottom line.

I dove into Wayfinder after the Echoes update and I concur with Edmund's sentiments: a really fantastic ARPG (3rd person as opposed to the traditional isometric view) that really has been made better.

The thing I heard that I liked the most about Dragon Age Veilguard was that FF12 was an inspiration. If you're trying to make a party based, action game where your companions are still capable of complicated actions, FF12 is what I would follow.
Shillup my man, will we ever see your coverage of the Path of Exile 2 event? Saw that you were in the behind the scenes video and am keen to get your perspective as someone who hasn't really played much of PoE 1.
If Metroid Prime 4's gameplay reveal took 7 years... just two years to go for Silksong.
is steam's 30% cut too much though? you get to host your game on the biggest distribution platform on the PC, you get a cloud service for your player's save files, you get a modding platform, you get a forum, you get a multiplayer/friendlist framework, you get to make market items that you can profit off of, heck when you bring your game out of early access your game gets 5 million guaranteed views to players who enjoy similar games.
it would be great if publishers could choose which features they want and that those would affect steams cut, but i think steam offers a lot of features for those 30%.
Yep, I can guarantee they got a greater than 30% boost in sales by being on Steam instead of anywhere else, which would have also taken a %.
@@Ceece20al lot of of those arguments are made by Apple and Google for their stores. And it still sounds like crap tbh. It doesn’t need to be that high.
The point is they could lower it and still make a huge profit. However, That extra % going to developers would make huge difference for many of them. Particularly the smaller and middle size ones. Hell, it might even mean jobs saved, and more invested in games.
The issue is people like Steam and don’t want to criticize it.
@makasete30 Those aren't really comparable bc Google and Apple control the OS (Android, IOS) giving them much greater leverage. With steam there is absolutely nothing stopping you from buying games on another store like epic or Xbox. The only thing in this lawsuit that is a legitimate concern to me is the allegation that steam is forcing devs to not sell their games for lower prices on other stores.
Steam also benefits from the game being on their platform it's mutually beneficial. 30% is not necessary and fucks over small devs
@@makasete30 you’re making more $$ on Steam than anywhere else. That money would not have come without Steam.
That’s not money that’s yours. That’s money that’s owed for services given by Steam.
At 14 minets in about the EA lay off it maid me so sad. I was part of thst 5% lay offs. The part that hits so hard is the footage your showing on Apex was the last thing we worked on. Thank you so much for ceeping the presher and awereness on this grose Lay offs.
They need to make more games that are fun.
Thanks man, great vid as always. Can't wait for Prime 4!
The switch is seven years old, which is about the right age for a console. If it were >8 years old, it would be rather old, but as it stands, it's just about at end of life.
I agree. Everyone acts like it’s well past its life time when that’s just silly… other than the fact that we desperately need a power upgrade for a Nintendo console.
@@Dyrvega thats because when the switch came out, the chip it used was already years old, so it was almost already outdated only a year or 2 after launch.
Very surprised you didn't talk about MIO: Memories in Orbit (in nitendo direct) since it looked very promising
Marfarkers deserved better, I’ll miss those Marfarkers.. 😢
The biggest surprise for me was Fairy Tail 2. I was sure we wouldn't get a second console game because I thought the first one bombed. Maybe folks were expecting it to be a fighting game or a Musou game like every anime tie-in game, instead of an RPG. But I'm happy because for its shoestring budget, it was a fun time and a good experience for Fairy Tail fans like me.
Not gonna lie, damn the new Zelda game had me the hypest in a long time.
“Game On Cancer Day” sure has a ring to it.
I keep seeing that this is the "first" zelda game where you play as zelda, but Zelda's adventure in 1996 literally has you playing as Zelda to rescue link from Ganon.
imagine that, people under 28 years old not knowing about an old obscure game that barely ever gets a mention...
Nobody counts the CD-i games.
She's been playable in the spin off games as well
Well excuuuuuuse me, Princess!
It's the first main series one - the CDi games were spin-offs not developed by Nintendo
Just an addition: Cyan (Worlds) are the creators of the original Myst as well as all the remakes. And Rand Miller is still at the helm so the remake is really coming from the original creator.
