      My criteria is whether welt or eula is in the game.

    Every time you put out one of these big videos I am reminded by how underrated this channel is.
    Well thought out talking points, relatable opinions and funny jokes to keep it interesting. And then the technical side is crazy, too. Super nice audio quality that you can listen to for hours, clean editing and I love the way you use game music in your videos with perfect timing. This stuff must take ages to make, I’m seriously impressed and you need to get a big break soon, because you deserve to be successful with this.

      gee I don't even know what to say, I'm melting lol.
      Seriously, though, thanks for saying that, it means a lot to me!

    Incredible video, I can't believe I got it in my recommended with 72 views. Great mic, narration, editing, and structure of the video. Subbed and hope to see more!

      Thank you so much!
      If there's ever something you feel could/should be improved, feel free to let me know - I want these videos to be as enjoyable as possible!

    The reason why the Live Service segment of the market continues to grow is that people overwhelmingly prefer it.
    Engagement will always beat spending. Live Service has such a huge innate advantage over the old model.

      Don't worry, I'm not trying to argue against statistics here. The point was to highlight the issues the model carries, and address some possible fixes.
      I personally enjoy Live Service Games a lot - when they are done right and respect the players they expect to spend time and money.

    Algorithm really threw me a banger here.
    Great video, informative, well paced, feels clean.
    Deserves many more views than it currently has.

      Oh wow, thank you so much for the kind words!
      While I would obviously appreciate more views, I'm already more than happy with people like you dropping in and enjoying the video :)

    Still don't understand who Babylon is and why he fell, is he stupid and can't walk?

    • @inouji
      @inouji  Год назад +5

      Nah bro look. He tripped, couldn't get back up and nobody would help him.
      So he decided to make a shitty Live Service Game to scam money out of people.

    I wish this was playable offline with optional online, like Monster Hunter or PSO/PSU. Really hoping someone out there, somewhere, is working on reverse-engineering the game to make it playable again. Loved the OST for this game. Great video

    I'm so sick of the "games as a service" mentality, I hope Kill The Justice League is the last one. (P.S. I heard a weird ringing throughout the video, but otherwise well done.)

      Hi Gregory, thanks for watching the video and your kind words!
      While I don't think Suicide Squad will be the last one, there seems to be a bit of a collapse approaching, with more service games failing than sticking around, and more and more people being fed up by the concept. So we might actually get what we want in a few years!
      Regarding that ringing: I really appreciate the feedback, but honestly can't hear it. I went through the video with a few different headphones during production and even double checked the pure voice recording just now due to your comment, but I can't hear anything besides occasional faint reverb that I unfortunately can't find a way to get rid of.
      I'll definitely triple check my voice overs from now on, though, and keep an ear out for anything that might take away from the listening experience!

    Babylon's Fall could've been good if it was just Nier Automata, but an MMO....

      It wasn’t even that bad, really. Could’ve turned it around if it had a bit more time. But with how fast the live service market moves, almost every game that isn’t a big hit immediately is doomed to fail

    They don't put time into them. They always take in dev projects and have the makers force systems into it that don't work or put zero effort into the concept.
    I do wish they hadn't shut it down. I would have liked to play and see it fixed up.

    "when you played your first mmorpg"👀bro's acting like that's a given or some shit. Is that actually how mmo players act about games?
    Someone is a little too into bayonetta and it ain't me
    that was one of your better videos for sure. I think i really vibe with the 40min video essaynouji

      Sorry I'm 30, I automatically assume every human on this earth has played at least one MMO
      Thanks for watching the video by the way, and also for the compliment! I'll think of doing more of these videos in the future, they just take so long to make
