      Besides the Mafia, the other Mafia, the violent movie standoff, very-close-but-not-quite the devil, the tragic romance and the biologically self contractory resident megalomaniac that actually manages to succeed for once, if only for a bit, all with a side of the cutesy main protagonist who probably has undeclared mental issues.

    So A Hat In Time's a 3D platformer Yahtzee actually liked
    So it's part of a genre he said can't possibly work actually working, it's amazing how something well built can actually make anything work well
    Edit: Seeing as I have everybody's attention, no I'm not going to beg for subscribers like what usually happens, this is far more imortant. It was announced on *The Escapist* this past week that the website is in *SEVERE FINANCIAL STRAITS* (by a volunteer community manager no less) and every single member of payed staff has been layed off except for one, Yahtzee himself. People have joked for a while that Yahtzee is the only thing keeping the escapist alive, but now it's true and given how dire the situation is, even that's on shaky ground. The Escapist could die and shut down tomorrow it's so bad from what I'm lead to believe. So enjoy Zero Punctuation while it's here, who knows how much longer we'll have it or where it will go if the Escapist kicks it
    This is just a PSA so people know

    Chill about Doki Doki guys, it's entire presentation is built around making you judge it as upbeat cartoon pornography so that it can pull off the twist. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that it is what it looks like.
    Don't pretend that you didn't originally play it because you thought the same thing.

    • @XoxeroThePoet
      @XoxeroThePoet 7 лет назад +13

      I don't think it's really a twist. I mean, once 'Psychological horror' is a tag you've kind of spoiled the twist. Plus, I could direct you to flash games on Newgrounds that have done the same thing since the early 2000s.

    • @lewdcynthia7264
      @lewdcynthia7264 7 лет назад +20

      Those tags are user-defined and weren't originally there. That's like saying Sixth Sense doesn't have a twist because everyone knows it already. And I never said it was a shining star of originality for doing so, so no clue what you're on about there. Kimi to Kanajo did it first and better.

    • @TriangleChloros
      @TriangleChloros 7 лет назад +7

      To be fair, they put 'not for children or the easily dismembered' on the first screen of the game. You can't warn people 'fucked up shit is about to happen', then pretend you don't want them to know there is fucked up shit about to happen - either the warning was pointless and counterproductive, or that's not actually the twist.
      In this case, I'd argue that the twist in Doki Doki is really more about what happens, not the fact that anything happens at all.
      (And for the record, I actually did play it for the horror. And you have *no* idea how many 'psychological horror' games on Steam I've bought only to find out they... weren't)

    • @Aurichalcam
      @Aurichalcam 6 лет назад +8

      Lewd Cynthia Actually the game's multiple warnings should be plenty indication that something horrible happens. Doki Doki isn't meant to be a "trap" where someone plays it, then unexpectedly it turns into horror. It's a horror game, and Team Salvato want you to treat it as such. Dan Salvato is simply fond of the visual novel format, and it does make for excellent contrast with the horror.

      We don't get a lot of 3D platformers because they're hard to design. Just ask Sonic Team. There was a very brief renaissance where developers were forced to make 3D platformers to sell consoles, and we got a few gems out of that trend. But in general, the natural state of a platformer is 2D.

      Obviously 3D is harder to make than 2D, don't need to be a programmer to know that. It's probably not even about difficulty, it just takes more time but they'd rather stick to simple 2D designs than make more unique 3D designs because it means they can push out more games at half-assed quality.

      @RyanHall42 7 лет назад +5

      I dont buy that 3d platformers are harder to make than 2d when most game middleware is designed for 3d games. I think the issue is nobody is nostalgic for dense fog about 5 feet away to cover up clipping and popin. Nobody's especially nostalgic for how early 3d platformers looked, where pixel art is now seen as an art choice and not a system limitation for the era.

    • @CuddleCuttlefish
      @CuddleCuttlefish 7 лет назад +16

      Wolfwood2057 yeah, it is actually a shame. As someone who has played the game in question I can say I understand why people want to spam Yahtzee comments to play it. But it is a shame that that couple seconds joke in the intro takes away focus from the rest of the video. It's not relevant and if anything it'll probably make him want to play it less. But that's the Internet community in a nutshell I suppose. Have to push on trends and personal agendas. And can't take jokes. At this point I think those are ground rules for anyone who use the Internet.
      P. S
      That said, if you haven't played it yourself I do recommend giving it a try. Even if you're not into the Dating sim formula (I'm not either, literally never played one before). The story the game is *actually* telling is incredibly interesting. And how it tells its story is equally interesting. That is as long as you can get past the beginning part. It plays like a normal dating sim for quite some time before things... change. But it effectively throws you off the loop. I mean. It's free. So little reason not to give it a chance at least.

    I´m so pissed at the idea of A Hat in Time. I mean, I just checked it out, ...... and it looks amazing.
    But, why did it take Yatzee to make me find out about it. I knew about Yooka Laylee for years, but this game just pops up and seems a lot better.
    I feel like it will be similar to the new Ratchet & Clank, which I feel was severely overlooked, so people will keep on going about how 3D platformers are dead, yet they won´t buy this or R&C.
    Well, at least Cuphead was successful commercially and critically, so maybe indie developers will start making original cool material again, hopefully.

    • @sagafor11
      @sagafor11 7 лет назад +17

      it´s a shame that indie developers don´t really get the support they need, so they often need to make a quick cashgrab of a game. I mean, just imagine how demotivating it must be to make a great game, and then see a clusterfck like No Man´s Sky get a lot more attention.
      Thus indie developers start making huge concepts they can´t keep up with, and make horrible games.
      Strip it down to the basics, come up with a cool concept, and make the gameplay fun. It´s not that hard.
      Undertale, Shovel Knight, Owlboy, Cuphead, Bastion, Hotline Miami all got those things right, and they didn´t try to act like a AAA developer. They knew their limits and built on them.
      Sadly there are many games that just go under other peoples, and unfortunately even my radar.

      I completely agree. There are always a bunch of great games being pushed under the rug for triple A titles that seem to just ride off the popular of a particular title or indie games that seem to never have a complete and unique experience in mind outside of being inspired by something. I feel like people really have to dig to find some awesome games. Hell, right now I'm excited for some neat looking games like Fight Knight, Jimmy and The Pulsating Mass, Indie Pogo, Beardblade, and The Mummy Demastered that should be coming out next year. =Y

    • @SinisterPixel
      @SinisterPixel 7 лет назад +13

      Hat in Time has been in development for 5 years now. It's Kickstarter goal was a very modest £30,000 and it greatly exceeded that expectation. It kept getting delayed because the devs really wanted to make the experience perfect, but I think a lot of people just kinda lost interest in the project. Currently it's one of the most positively reviewed Steam games of all time and with the great workshop support and additional FREE content in development, Hat in Time definitely hasn't finished it's song. All it's going to take is for a couple of bigger RUclipsrs to do some in depth coverage of this game and it will take off.
      It may even end up like Undertale, how the game was significantly overlooked on launch but after a big RUclipsr covered it, it went viral.

      Red Pandai isn't it more of a dating sim then a visual novel. Or, I guess really it's a psychological horror with the structure and game play of a dating sim.

    The review makes it sound like the only challenging part of A Hat in Time is the bosses, but a lot of the platforming sections can be pretty difficult too. Also those lines that guide you to the goodies in some occasions are quite necessary, otherwise you would spend a lot of time combing through some rather complex scenery all over again.

      Once again, it's one of those games that are best experienced blind, so you can't tell people why they should play it besides that their preconceived notions are 100% incorrect.
      I feel like it was trying too hard at some points, but that, kind of, makes sense with the reveal towards end (and hinted at throughout the whole game).
      Analysis aside: Yuri was best girl, Natsuki was the most interesting, and Monika was the most dynamic (because of course she was).

    I so disagree with what was said about hob.
    From the very start of the game the end goal was pretty clear if u were paying enough attention (get to the floating tower thing) sure it wasn't entirely clear why until the end but it is still there. The puzzles were fun, the platforming was fun the mechanics were cool and implemented well the combat was fun and sometimes hard. It also isn't done in an hour like most of these indie games nowadays which is really refreshing.
    I don't really see why he found hob so boring, it seems like a game that does all the hings that he complains games don't do but oh well, opinions are a thing i guess.
    It just makes me sad that this game doesn't seem to be getting any exposure right now and I feel like it really deserves it.

So we may see less of these lower tier, tightly designed games like Hob and The Sexy Brutale, as publishers like Perfect World move towards the "live services" business model, in the next few years. Tis a shame.
