I would love to study the brain of someone who buys Fifa every year, and then buy the Fifa packs every year, just to watch it be obsolete a year later, for them to buy the exact same game with the exact same lootbox packs, I have a theory that the brain scanner would look like it is not working.
Most people dont realy spend money on the game its the minority that splashes money on the game, I buy it every year and the most ive spent is like 10 bucks, most stuff obtanable for free is usually the best items like sbc content and season rewards/swap rewards. Also fifa aint just ultimate team there is career mode, pro clubs and volta. The new game is a complete rebrand made with a new engine and a reworked interface, graphics and animations. Its almost like you hate on the microtransactions part that honestly dont matter in fifa cuz you are not guaranteed anything. Also people dont just buy it cuz its a game, its a community related to the real life sport and has events connected to it.@@ElementVoidX
There's no reasoning with Todd Howard rushing games. He basically rushed the pizza guy to deliver his pizzas for only 4 minutes less just to get free pizzas XD
46 gig? You got to pump those number up, those are rookie numbers. Hadn’t used my computer in a week. Turned it on, opened steam, 110 gig update for total war warhammer III. I didn’t get to play anything that day.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 the original game. Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, the Onimusha series. There are dozens, if not hundreds of games released prior to 2008 that hold up well even today. The original God of War games. My zoomer baby brother just found his old ps2 and borrowed a few of my games because his ps4 games aren’t cutting it and it’s currently cheaper than getting a ps5 and new games.
No Mans Sky was my favorite game for awhile, my biddy who passed away used to play with me all the time. Its nice visiting his home every once in awhile
"yeah i played the mobile version when iwas little kid" holy shit that line woke me up and took wind out of me at same time, i need to take walk and have middle age crisis.
I was wondering where in the video this was. Yeah Splinter Cell is very old now. I got the collection for like 3 bucks, just to see if I can still play it. Really hope none of the coding was tied to how fast your system is.
this is why i play monster hunter it has been monster hunter for 20 years and each new iteration is just more monster hunter with quality of life improvements and ocasionally testing the waters with a new gimik on the portable versions
3:20 nah thats actually super cool that its modularized and you can choose what is installed. More things should be that way, it cuts down on download sizes.
I remember playing a snowboarding game for Dreamcast as a kid, and heck if I know what it was called, but you could unlock a snowman with a creepy voice riding a shovel (max speed stat, next to no maneuverability) or an alien on a hoverboard. It as fun as hell with the announcer calling out ridiculous tricks you would pull (or fail to pull) off, and games just don't get made like that anymore. Also, omfg Hydro Thunder was on Dreamcast too!
Oh yeah, I think I know what game you're talking about! It's Rippin' Riders! I loved that game when I was a kid, to unlock the alien, you had to get top scores in five different tracks and then beat the track you unlocked after. I never did figure out how to unlock the snowman though, I just remembered my brother telling me about it existing.
@@icyatlasartworks Yeah! That's the one! I remember having an old magazine back in the day explaining how to unlock things, and it described playing the snowmanr as "tossing a potato down a mountainside" with how fast and unmaneuverable it was.
Black and White were fucking awesome. I loved the singing of the guys building that boat, and my favorite pastime was dropping huge rocks on houses. Honestly, the concept was great. The absolute SATISFACTION from the sound of turning trees into wood. Or slap your creature around :P
TF2 is a great example here, a game that has completely survived because no other FPS has ever tried to be anywhere near as goofy as it is; leaving a little area all to itself as devs go for those fun elements less often.
trust me I tried, apparently there's an old ass forum that is maintained by some people I couldn't figure out how to patch after spending an entire weekend cus it was so annoying, for obvious reasons lmao
@@SmugAlanaThey messed up Diablo too by making it online only that's the only thing I'll say about that and I say this is someone that has played yobbler 2 since I was 7 years old or whenever it came out I don't remember how old I was now I'm that fucking old.
a big problem with releasing broken and then improving over time, is that you only have 1 chance to do a first impression, and a lot of people don't have the patience to give you a second glance if you fuck up the first time.
Actually, The MCC collection having to install each game seperately, including the mutiplayer seperately, I think thats pretty cool. Instead of Installing over 100GB worth of Game and their Mutiplayer componants, you get to Pick and Choose which ones you want to have installed. Just want to play the Campagins or Mutiplayer? Just install that bit. Only play a couple of games? No need to install all of them. It is certainly a little _diffrent_ and surprising at first, but each install only takes a few minutes anyway so not a big deal.
I agree, I would rather not infect my computer with Halo 4. The terrible UI doesn’t help and it’s hard to remember where the setting for it is, but it’s better this way.

38:35 well we do get fun games, like Sunset Overdrive, but no one buys it, so it fails. And we then get run if the mill action titles from a really innovative development team.
its never been a better time for gaming! the matchless kung fu exists, lunacid exists, dread delusion exists, kenshi exists and is getting a sequel, rainworld's dlc came out...fuck when did that come out? is tht still modern? dwarf fortress and cataclysm are more developed today than they were yesterday, dragons dogma 2 is right around the corner. and i do kinda mean that unironically, this guy just seems to only pay attention to the bad shit. also omg that frogger game unlocked some core memories.

11:29 now a days i rly arent that scared when game is over 60GBs but almost a decade ago i still had connection that was 14Mbps on a good day. on a normal day it was around 8-10Mbps "upload was around 3-5Mbps" so ye. it took ages to download new games or large updates
A bit off topic, but I wanted to talk about it in response to the No Man's Sky mention. As someone who has actually played No Man's Sky in its updated stage and is having fun with it, ill admit that the game is not for everyone. First off, its true that its a massive sandbox. If you don't like that kind of game, then its just not for you, and that's fine since not every game is for everyone. Saying that the game is not fun simply because of A its past and B you don't THINK you will like it is very disingenuous but like I said, if you dislike the genre its whatever. Something I will say is that while I am glad that Hello Games actually went through with updating the game, I really wish they had just launched it at a good state. The game is great now, but I really, REALLY dont want to see NMS be used as an excuse for games launching in horrible states under the pretext that they will do the same NMS did.
Dogo and kitty, Awwww. LOL the "BRB" post it note! I recall The Act Man made a video on "Modern Gaming" as well. Wouldn't be surpised if thats where that phase comes from. Edit: oh this guy, i saw that video a few days ago. Small world it seems.
Okay, Cyberpunk 2077 had a rocky launch. But, for those of us who were blessed to not encounter any major bugs: The game is fucking brilliant. One of the best RPGs out there. If you were one of the haters, I recommend playing it again. PS: Elden Ring was unplayable for me at launch, took over a week till I could get it to run. You don't hear me bashing it, because it is a good game.
I did. I didn't play it at launch at all. First time tried in by the end of 23. It's very mid. It looks great, it's very stylish, but the gameplay is just mid. The most fun I had there was shooting all the french juju peeps, after them screwing you over and over again. A lot of it feels disjointed and abrupt in how it presents itself. Gameplay is... Okay? Nothing spectacular. The most fun it was with Johnny's flashbacks, when you shoot dudes in the heads and they explode. Slapping half a mag into a guy to drop him forced me to go full stealth and hacking, because at least that's entertaining. HL at least had some huge very big guns and aliens. It makes sense with aliens. The additional DLC story fixes some of that, but it expects you to care for some reason and I got dropped into it by accident straight after being burnt on false promises of help twice in a row, so I'm seriously questioning why would my character even do all that? And the President easily dropping my gorilla arms jacked up superdude high on chrome and pumped full of artificial battle powder was wack. I know you have to show me how cool she is, but c'mon, I'm pretty sure my guy could throw a car at this point. It's mid. Looks great though.
@@nemamiah7832 I notice you focus mostly on the gameplay, which is of course a legit thing. I wouldn't call the gameplay the high point. When I say the game is great, I'm thinking from an overall presentation perspective. Not many games have had me feel the characters are genuine people with lives of their own more than CP77, those are the things I care about when I look at an RPG. You seem to be of a different opinion. Fair enough.
@@TheAurgelmir Oh, presentation is great. Night City looks amazing. They definitely nailed that. Aside from music, imo. I imagined it being super 80s on steroids for this settings. Instead it was just meh. But this part is definitely just taste. If the game gamed better, I would be singing praises to it. Unfortunately it doesn't. But I will absolutely concede the point on presentation. Hell, I not once skipped a passenger sequence.
This (gaming=job)eminds me of when I played final fantasy and to join a company(guild for the uninitiated) i had to put in an application and wait like 2 weeks for someone to invite me to chat on discord to have a LIVE INTERVIEW in order to be JUDGED and approved to join the damn company! And it wasn't just 1 either! You had to go through a similarly humiliating process to join any of the big endgame companies! And once you joined you get to help them out killing monsters and giving them the shit you earned to give to some other shit that has raided with you twice in the past year that will leave as soon as they get their shit that the guild seems more important than you because they have a higher gear score or are blowing the guild master or some shit! **Breathes into a bag**
Profits over passion is what the gaming industry has become. The higher ups are squeezing every drop of cash out of the player base. And once they're done they'll step down and move to another market to do the exact same thing.
I hate rewatching stuff. It gives me anxiety. I only watch things I haven't watched before or haven't watched in a long, long time. Same with games, I don't replay games. Odd.
Ayo I didnt expect to see warframe snuck into this. Is not often i see it get brought up in these sorts of vids unless its about warframe But it is definately a worthy note
20:08 I rewatch things because nothing new comes out that replaces or is even really in the same genre of what I want to watch. just for instance, what anime does tenchi muyo oav 1 special 1 oav2, universe, gxp, war on geminar, photon, dual parallel trouble adventures other than another anime by the same guy? where is my ranma half? here is my dragon half? god I love isekai and literally read every single one that gets translated, their are alot of similar ones there, but where is my konosuba replacement? I mean ffs the original novel is 11 years old, the manga is nearly 9, the anime is 7, where is the new version of that? where is my franken fran like manga/story, that shit is nearing 20. I get that that argument is probably true for many people, my little brother is on his 30th rewatching of breaking bad, he definitely refuses to watch new things because he can rewatch things he knows he liked, but i'm sitting here rewatching dreadd and raid again because hollowood wont give me a replacement, the 80's and 90's action movies are dead, we don't have any movie stars anymore. I honestly wish that there was more stuff for me to watch, but at this point I have watched everything that is good, and I either have to start looking at made for streaming stuff (nearly all garbage but high rating's because vote manipulated) or I get to try and find indie movies/videos... so I get to watch people react, or I get to try and think of that one old anime/movie/cartoon that I I remember I liked but dont have a fresh enough memory to recite near verbatim, I can't enjoy slayers or slayers next anymore because of this, you know, I think the old battle athletes would probably fit this perfectly, I remember its batshit, and I liked it, and while it had somewhat needless drama, its not horrible to watch... maybe el hazard post urta coming in, I have a text document on my pc for when I either gain amnesia, or gain alzheimer's that is just a 'you really loved these shows' document, just for stuff I wish I could go in blind/watch for the first time again... kind of sad I can't wait to use it.
27:50 all ubisoft open world games are good, the problem is they make 1 fucking open world game and reskin it, so if you play 2 of them in a short enough time span you burn out hard on them. for farcry specifically, 3 is pretty ok, cop out bullshit with boss fights but whatever, I like running around takeing small bases and just basicly being rambo in the woods farcry 4 was farcry 3 but better mechanics and worse story farcry 5 is kind of meh, but its still a fun game to play farcry 6, I have not touched, only recently got a gpu powerful enough to run it and not have massive issues but im guessing see above... I would probably recomend 3, and blood dragon. and to top it off, braindead ai is a good thing for the most part, if you want to know what good ai is able to do, play farcry 1 and crysis, or arma 1/2/3, I dont want to have to do realistic sneaking to engage enemies, I want the fantasy, not the simulation. would I like them to do a bit more than what they do when they engage, yes, but I dont want them to actually be smart.
On his point 15... games have damn near 0 development since mario 64, goldeneye, and ultima online outside of essentially quality of life stuff so you don't need to keep irl track of quests, or minor control updates. you can argue half-life 2 and physics puzzles, but they were everywhere you would see how garbage of a game design they are. you can also argue minecraft was the last real innovation for game design with essentially infinite legos, but I think there was a lego game that let you play with legos digitally a long time ago (and order the leggos to build it irl... I know) but other than that, there is 0 gameplay innovation, realistically its all just trying not to profusely shit itself compared to the elders, and falling to do so 90% of the time. I don't give one fuck about graphics as long as they serve their purpose and aren't getting in the way (think a game about snipers, but because they are 600 meters away the grass they are hiding behind isn't rendering, so you get a clear shot, that's what I mean, shit could look like roblox as long as its not getting in the way) I quite honestly despise new graphics, because god knows the developers who make games now a days cant fucking optimize for shit, so we get games that instead of using fsr or dlss to extend a graphics cards life, demand fsr or dlss to make their shitheap of a game playable at above 30fps at 1080p playable on a 4090. I honestly dread new console gens because of these incompetent fucks.
I stopped playing hell divers because i got tired of every fun weapon combo getting nerfed every time it became popular and needing to keep up with what works best after every update and every new rifle having the same stats as the base gun with 1/2 the magazine
2 was pretty good, I especially liked hearing the enemies shout at me in my native Afrikaans, 5 was alright, the way you get to fight each regions bosses where pretty bad, like you could catch a fish and the boss would go "oh shit I need to act against this threat" - the amount of just standing around and making jokes where pretty bad tho, only liked walking around in the open world.
I agree with his opinion about the indie indie games, at least the rogue likes. They're color palettes are too similar, they're pastel because it isn't too saturated but at the same time makes them feel arcadey, and
28:34 to the Far Cry, who remember story of the first Far Cry with the monsters and then no more on that (maybe there was some connections in Far Cry 2 but idk its been long time since i played that😅)
At first I thought you were talking about only Reach and ODST, but I looked on Steam and ya you can buy each one individually. On Xbox it's only Reach & ODST that are DLCs since the game is called "The Master Chief Collection" and so it makes sense why they didn't have those extra titles on release. I personally don't see any problem with how the MCC is currently structured (on release of course it was a mess) and being able to install the individual games you prefer to play will help save room on your hard drive. However some weekly challenges may be unobtainable and matchmaking may take longer if you don't have a specific game installed.
I don't agree with min/maxing and metagaming being a bad thing in competitive games. I can't say I'm a fan of the newer WoW expansions, but getting a guild together that's all about min/maxing the f* out of everything and fighting for server/world firsts was so fun. And the great thing about it was that if you weren't into that there was room for everyone else as well. They could do their own thing. The place it's less fun is in games where new players can't pick it up because of the level or complexity thrown at them.
Don't want to age myself but I haven't seen a cut scene since RES2. Go on I'll give you a clue. I remember pong. Great videos you funny furry eared legend.
Don't tell Alane that TLoU was released in total 4 times - launch, re-release (- ps4), remasterd (- also ps4), AND drum roll plz .......~~~~~♫ ♪~~ the PS FIVE *hands clapping, children cheering*
Ridiculous fun bat shit crazy things in games: literally morrowind aged like whine fine with that telepathy magic, and air walking voodoo stuff while wearing amor and a robe over the amor, and literally slapping a cliff racer in the ducking air walking, with a giant Japanese sword while wearing literal crab helmet, and 5 stolen rings with broken healing magic on them that somehow by miracle of the tribunal you found these ring on a bunch of random barrels in an alley near the local Morang tong building. good times indeed you could do real bat shit crazy stuff in the 2000s of gaming peak. gamming just doesn't feel good no more.
Hello games most assuredly does not hate its players. Or else they would have had no reason to pull it back. And no mans sky as a sandbox is far more enjoyable than Minecraft for example. But I’m not hearing complaints there?
27:40 I have played all Far Cry games (except dragon sadly) and personally? I would rank best to worst 1. Far Cry primal 2. Far Cry 4 3. Far Cry 3 4. Far Cry 5 5. Far Cry 2 6. Far Cry 1 7. Far Cry 6 now this looks a little strange but hear me out, I love old games I recently started playing stalker and I'm starting from the first game on without mods and it is actually amazing, but personally primal and so some of the more newer Far Cry games? are my favorite. 6 I have not played that much because something happened, I got locked out of my Ubisoft account for month and was not able to get human contact to help me and eventually had to trigger trick the AI help thingy to solve the problem in somewhat of a good way? and after that experience, I just swore I would never buy any Ubisoft game ever again no matter how cheap they tried to sell them, normally I buy them when they are on sale to like 90% or 75% off. anyway the reason I love primal is because it was the most unique of the games instead of cars or vehicles you had pets that was various animals you had to tame and I loved those animals so much Far Cry 4 I loved the most when it comes to the mainline stuff because I played that the most on both PlayStation 3 and on PC and I remember thinking oh my god this is Far Cry 3 but better and then five is Far Cry 4 but worse.
20:30 I forgot to add to my comment on rewatching Bleach that counts all the filler arcs and episodes. SOOOO, lots of rewatched episodes and movies lol.

No Man's Sky wasn't AAA tho. It was made by an indie dev team that's smaller than the average Wendy's team.
if you haven't watched the vids, it was then marketed by Sony and priced like a AAA.

The game is great now, but I really, REALLY dont want to see NMS be used as an excuse for games launching in horrible states under the pretext that they will do the same NMS did.
That guy in the thumbnail was playing stellaris
Dogo and kitty, Awwww. LOL the "BRB" post it note!
I recall The Act Man made a video on "Modern Gaming" as well. Wouldn't be surpised if thats where that phase comes from.
Edit: oh this guy, i saw that video a few days ago. Small world it seems.
Okay, Cyberpunk 2077 had a rocky launch. But, for those of us who were blessed to not encounter any major bugs: The game is fucking brilliant. One of the best RPGs out there.
If you were one of the haters, I recommend playing it again.
PS: Elden Ring was unplayable for me at launch, took over a week till I could get it to run. You don't hear me bashing it, because it is a good game.
I did. I didn't play it at launch at all. First time tried in by the end of 23. It's very mid. It looks great, it's very stylish, but the gameplay is just mid. The most fun I had there was shooting all the french juju peeps, after them screwing you over and over again. A lot of it feels disjointed and abrupt in how it presents itself. Gameplay is... Okay? Nothing spectacular. The most fun it was with Johnny's flashbacks, when you shoot dudes in the heads and they explode. Slapping half a mag into a guy to drop him forced me to go full stealth and hacking, because at least that's entertaining. HL at least had some huge very big guns and aliens. It makes sense with aliens.
The additional DLC story fixes some of that, but it expects you to care for some reason and I got dropped into it by accident straight after being burnt on false promises of help twice in a row, so I'm seriously questioning why would my character even do all that?
And the President easily dropping my gorilla arms jacked up superdude high on chrome and pumped full of artificial battle powder was wack. I know you have to show me how cool she is, but c'mon, I'm pretty sure my guy could throw a car at this point.
It's mid.
Looks great though.
@@nemamiah7832 I notice you focus mostly on the gameplay, which is of course a legit thing. I wouldn't call the gameplay the high point.
When I say the game is great, I'm thinking from an overall presentation perspective. Not many games have had me feel the characters are genuine people with lives of their own more than CP77, those are the things I care about when I look at an RPG. You seem to be of a different opinion. Fair enough.
@@TheAurgelmir Oh, presentation is great. Night City looks amazing. They definitely nailed that. Aside from music, imo. I imagined it being super 80s on steroids for this settings. Instead it was just meh. But this part is definitely just taste.
If the game gamed better, I would be singing praises to it. Unfortunately it doesn't. But I will absolutely concede the point on presentation. Hell, I not once skipped a passenger sequence.
@@nemamiah7832The game did game the RPG elements to the next level though. And for an RPG that's really what I'm looking for.
This (gaming=job)eminds me of when I played final fantasy and to join a company(guild for the uninitiated) i had to put in an application and wait like 2 weeks for someone to invite me to chat on discord to have a LIVE INTERVIEW in order to be JUDGED and approved to join the damn company! And it wasn't just 1 either! You had to go through a similarly humiliating process to join any of the big endgame companies! And once you joined you get to help them out killing monsters and giving them the shit you earned to give to some other shit that has raided with you twice in the past year that will leave as soon as they get their shit that the guild seems more important than you because they have a higher gear score or are blowing the guild master or some shit!

Cute dog and cat
Profits over passion is what the gaming industry has become. The higher ups are squeezing every drop of cash out of the player base. And once they're done they'll step down and move to another market to do the exact same thing.
I hate rewatching stuff. It gives me anxiety. I only watch things I haven't watched before or haven't watched in a long, long time. Same with games, I don't replay games. Odd.
Ayo
I didnt expect to see warframe snuck into this. Is not often i see it get brought up in these sorts of vids unless its about warframe
But it is definately a worthy note
Rare that other folks remember Black & White, much less fondly. Nice.
Fluffy ears! So cute! ❤
14:15 oh, the real bastardization from the halo remake was the into to the flood levels, they REALLY fucked that up beyond redemption.
20:08 I rewatch things because nothing new comes out that replaces or is even really in the same genre of what I want to watch. just for instance, what anime does tenchi muyo oav 1 special 1 oav2, universe, gxp, war on geminar, photon, dual parallel trouble adventures other than another anime by the same guy? where is my ranma half? here is my dragon half? god I love isekai and literally read every single one that gets translated, their are alot of similar ones there, but where is my konosuba replacement? I mean ffs the original novel is 11 years old, the manga is nearly 9, the anime is 7, where is the new version of that? where is my franken fran like manga/story, that shit is nearing 20.
I get that that argument is probably true for many people, my little brother is on his 30th rewatching of breaking bad, he definitely refuses to watch new things because he can rewatch things he knows he liked, but i'm sitting here rewatching dreadd and raid again because hollowood wont give me a replacement, the 80's and 90's action movies are dead, we don't have any movie stars anymore.
I honestly wish that there was more stuff for me to watch, but at this point I have watched everything that is good, and I either have to start looking at made for streaming stuff (nearly all garbage but high rating's because vote manipulated) or I get to try and find indie movies/videos...
so I get to watch people react, or I get to try and think of that one old anime/movie/cartoon that I I remember I liked but dont have a fresh enough memory to recite near verbatim, I can't enjoy slayers or slayers next anymore because of this, you know, I think the old battle athletes would probably fit this perfectly, I remember its batshit, and I liked it, and while it had somewhat needless drama, its not horrible to watch... maybe el hazard post urta coming in,
I have a text document on my pc for when I either gain amnesia, or gain alzheimer's that is just a 'you really loved these shows' document, just for stuff I wish I could go in blind/watch for the first time again... kind of sad I can't wait to use it.
27:50 all ubisoft open world games are good, the problem is they make 1 fucking open world game and reskin it, so if you play 2 of them in a short enough time span you burn out hard on them.
for farcry specifically, 3 is pretty ok, cop out bullshit with boss fights but whatever, I like running around takeing small bases and just basicly being rambo in the woods
farcry 4 was farcry 3 but better mechanics and worse story
farcry 5 is kind of meh, but its still a fun game to play
farcry 6, I have not touched, only recently got a gpu powerful enough to run it and not have massive issues but im guessing see above... I would probably recomend 3, and blood dragon.
and to top it off, braindead ai is a good thing for the most part, if you want to know what good ai is able to do, play farcry 1 and crysis, or arma 1/2/3, I dont want to have to do realistic sneaking to engage enemies, I want the fantasy, not the simulation. would I like them to do a bit more than what they do when they engage, yes, but I dont want them to actually be smart.
On his point 15... games have damn near 0 development since mario 64, goldeneye, and ultima online outside of essentially quality of life stuff so you don't need to keep irl track of quests, or minor control updates. you can argue half-life 2 and physics puzzles, but they were everywhere you would see how garbage of a game design they are. you can also argue minecraft was the last real innovation for game design with essentially infinite legos, but I think there was a lego game that let you play with legos digitally a long time ago (and order the leggos to build it irl... I know) but other than that, there is 0 gameplay innovation, realistically its all just trying not to profusely shit itself compared to the elders, and falling to do so 90% of the time. I don't give one fuck about graphics as long as they serve their purpose and aren't getting in the way (think a game about snipers, but because they are 600 meters away the grass they are hiding behind isn't rendering, so you get a clear shot, that's what I mean, shit could look like roblox as long as its not getting in the way)
I quite honestly despise new graphics, because god knows the developers who make games now a days cant fucking optimize for shit, so we get games that instead of using fsr or dlss to extend a graphics cards life, demand fsr or dlss to make their shitheap of a game playable at above 30fps at 1080p playable on a 4090. I honestly dread new console gens because of these incompetent fucks.
Those were always bad
I stopped playing hell divers because i got tired of every fun weapon combo getting nerfed every time it became popular and needing to keep up with what works best after every update and every new rifle having the same stats as the base gun with 1/2 the magazine
Far Cry 3&4 are goated, i stopped playing 5 after like 7 hours and 6 dosen't exist in my book...
2 was pretty good, I especially liked hearing the enemies shout at me in my native Afrikaans, 5 was alright, the way you get to fight each regions bosses where pretty bad, like you could catch a fish and the boss would go "oh shit I need to act against this threat" - the amount of just standing around and making jokes where pretty bad tho, only liked walking around in the open world.
Man, do we need an NBA street series re-release.
I agree with his opinion about the indie indie games, at least the rogue likes. They're color palettes are too similar, they're pastel because it isn't too saturated but at the same time makes them feel arcadey, and
28:34 to the Far Cry, who remember story of the first Far Cry with the monsters and then no more on that (maybe there was some connections in Far Cry 2 but idk its been long time since i played that😅)
BW and BW2 is her fav pokemon game and she prefer dota? Based!!
"smooth and buttery"
Playing through Hades again. That's a great 'newish' game
love your fucking reactions lmao
MCC also sells each halo separately and each multiple separately
At first I thought you were talking about only Reach and ODST, but I looked on Steam and ya you can buy each one individually. On Xbox it's only Reach & ODST that are DLCs since the game is called "The Master Chief Collection" and so it makes sense why they didn't have those extra titles on release. I personally don't see any problem with how the MCC is currently structured (on release of course it was a mess) and being able to install the individual games you prefer to play will help save room on your hard drive. However some weekly challenges may be unobtainable and matchmaking may take longer if you don't have a specific game installed.
Glad cyberpunk had it's redemption arc.
I must pet the pets, it is an obligation, not an option. I also must try to hold the cat. Hopefully I wouldn't be shredded in the process.
This reminds me of old Egoraptor.
I love and miss Black and White!
Black and White were based as hell. Thought my friend and I were the only people that ever played it lol
Black & White needs a fan remake
I don't agree with min/maxing and metagaming being a bad thing in competitive games. I can't say I'm a fan of the newer WoW expansions, but getting a guild together that's all about min/maxing the f* out of everything and fighting for server/world firsts was so fun. And the great thing about it was that if you weren't into that there was room for everyone else as well. They could do their own thing.
The place it's less fun is in games where new players can't pick it up because of the level or complexity thrown at them.
Don't want to age myself but I haven't seen a cut scene since RES2. Go on I'll give you a clue. I remember pong. Great videos you funny furry eared legend.
It's suck when all I want is to have fun but god say NO, try hard it is
Don't tell Alane that TLoU was released in total 4 times - launch, re-release (- ps4), remasterd (- also ps4), AND drum roll plz .......~~~~~♫ ♪~~ the PS FIVE *hands clapping, children cheering*
I have watched through psych bike 730 something times
We cant have fun in modern gaming because that's not "equitable". Everyone must have the same shitty experience
Vermintide1/2 lowkey a goated game
Sequelitis - Modern Gaming
Just like those, no good points were made and he's doing more yelling than making a real argument.
i know this is late but u can still play the 1st zoo tycoon, but it can be finicky especially since it needs to think its reading the disc
EA Sports, what a shame..
Switzerland... The land of fuck copyrights! 😜
Ridiculous fun bat shit crazy things in games: literally morrowind aged like whine fine with that telepathy magic, and air walking voodoo stuff while wearing amor and a robe over the amor, and literally slapping a cliff racer in the ducking air walking, with a giant Japanese sword while wearing literal crab helmet, and 5 stolen rings with broken healing magic on them that somehow by miracle of the tribunal you found these ring on a bunch of random barrels in an alley near the local Morang tong building.
good times indeed you could do real bat shit crazy stuff in the 2000s of gaming peak. gamming just doesn't feel good no more.
Hello games most assuredly does not hate its players. Or else they would have had no reason to pull it back.
And no mans sky as a sandbox is far more enjoyable than Minecraft for example. But I’m not hearing complaints there?
ATV off-road fury was a lit series on ps2
I played farcry 4 i think, i played it with a friend that i eventually learned took some of it way to serious.
27:40 I have played all Far Cry games (except dragon sadly) and personally? I would rank best to worst
1. Far Cry primal
2. Far Cry 4
3. Far Cry 3
4. Far Cry 5
5. Far Cry 2
6. Far Cry 1
7. Far Cry 6
now this looks a little strange but hear me out, I love old games I recently started playing stalker and I'm starting from the first game on without mods and it is actually amazing, but personally primal and so some of the more newer Far Cry games? are my favorite.
6 I have not played that much because something happened, I got locked out of my Ubisoft account for month and was not able to get human contact to help me and eventually had to trigger trick the AI help thingy to solve the problem in somewhat of a good way? and after that experience, I just swore I would never buy any Ubisoft game ever again no matter how cheap they tried to sell them, normally I buy them when they are on sale to like 90% or 75% off.
anyway the reason I love primal is because it was the most unique of the games instead of cars or vehicles you had pets that was various animals you had to tame and I loved those animals so much
Far Cry 4 I loved the most when it comes to the mainline stuff because I played that the most on both PlayStation 3 and on PC and I remember thinking oh my god this is Far Cry 3 but better and then five is Far Cry 4 but worse.
20:30 I forgot to add to my comment on rewatching Bleach that counts all the filler arcs and episodes.
SOOOO, lots of rewatched episodes and movies lol.
Warcraft III was basically molested by some foreign company outsourced to 'remaster' it. Couldn't even stick to correct art style, was pure dumpster fire.
3 was my first ubisoft game so its fine
You think that man is boomer for wanting to go back to skype heh I WANT TO GO BACK TO VENTRILO
I will never forgive sony for giving us only littlebig planet 3 to the ps 4 and just not giving a shit about the two games that came before it.
the game im developing is low poly/ pixel because im absolute crap at making artwork... and am too poor to commission the all the sprites used by it
I miss the sodium one salt shooter
Man I feel bad for everyone who got hyped up for Halo 6 only to see it turn out to be another Live Service Slop
46gb is nothing, the average unreal 4 game is 80 to 140gb
You got love the cove.
Everyone loves a meta player, as i always say
I said F Starfield got me X4 Foundations on sale much better choice
11:19 laughs in ark survival evolved
Maybe the game Fata Deum can revive Black & White
I also have a cat dog that gives me side eyes
1:08 just gonna leave this here. For absolutely no reason
Those animals are so cute!!!
4:28 I felt that
