110% Agreed with your take. In the past month, I've had more fun repairing and playing a 22-year old GameCube than I did with anything that came out post 2017. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a game from 2004, is more fun than anything available on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, and certainly better than the Paper Mario games that came afterwards. This year I've donated more games than ever to friends and family, leaving only a handful for each console that I really love. My New Year's resolution is to get rid of as many superfluous games as possible and keep and maintain only the ones I actually play. Feels very liberating.
About your channel content, you make whatever you are truly inspired to make. Whatever content you really feel like making will always be better than forced stuff made to please an audience. If your viewers like it, they'll follow. And if not, they can go elsewhere. Always do what you do best.
Thank God I'm not the only one who doesn't like remakes. Every single remake I've seen (with one glaring exception) is inferior to the original. They love to brag how good the RE4 remake looks when it completely shits on the art style and atmosphere the original was known for. Now it just looks like another shitty, lifeless AAA game. I can't stress this enough, *graphics don't mean anything* compared to a game's atmosphere and art direction. Take a look at the Demon's Souls Remake, Bluepoint changed a bunch of shit because they felt like they knew better than the creator of the game. The game no longer has that classic Fromsoft style, it feels like a westernized version of the game, which it pretty much is now that I think about it. The only remake that truly stays true to the original is Black Mesa because it was made by fans who both understand and love the original, not some random studio. I *pray to God* Bluepoint doesn't remake/remaster Bloodborne because they would completely butcher it. Bloodborne is another example of a masterpiece that is perfect the way it is. Not saying the game doesn't have flaws, but I'm highly against people changing the creator's original vision. And good to have you back man, congrats on 400 subs. Make whatever content you feel like making, I'll be here every step of the way.
Yeah, i kinda agree with what today all games are sequels or remakes. But that's only because we already have a ton of good games that we haven't played yet. These games aren't targeting on the old audience. They meant to play for new baby gamers who were born when these games were already out and they're can't play them because they aren't new.
Got to be honest You lost me when you said BOTW I was a masterpiece. You talked about how barren sections of Tears was. BOTW was pretty barren too from what i remember. That said I will definitely agree with you Everyone is throwing around the word masterpiece far too casually. To me those words are only to describe games that truly set the bar. That changed the scape of gaming. Introduce something revolutionary that had not been done before. Like the original Resident Evil 1/2 It created a whole genre of video game We wouldn't have survival horror today if not for those first games. Chrono Trigger is also a fantastic game that did so much for jrpgs. Fromsoftware with King's Field that set the seads for Souls series that would take the world by storm spawning a new sub genre of game dubbed Soulslikes. I could go on and on. But yeah I don't think I would consider most modern games coming out now masterpieces. Especially when most of them are just cinematic QT field movies disguised as games.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
