Okay, I feel the need to address the tigers in captivity bit that was mentioned. Warning, wall of text incoming. tldr its kinda messed up but for the exact opposite reasons Woolie thinks there are First of all, I don't know about tigers, but it is true that there are many species of animal that are more abundant on properties in Texas than there are in their native habitats in Africa and Asia, mostly animals like Oryx, Blackbuck, and Kudu. That's because many of these animals have been driven extinct in their native ranges, and just don't have the level of protection and support that they need in Africa or what have you to ensure healthy long term populations. Now, way back in the day many land owners and concerned entrepreneurs saw the writing on the wall, how many of these species of animals were just shrinking and failing. So these land owners decided to import lots of animals and species and raised them on high-fence ranches on their properties. They did so in such a matter that most of these animals, despite being legally considered domesticated livestock, live mostly wild and in the same manner that they would in their native habitats. Of course, this isn't Africa, and as such in order to keep these populations healthy and not overcrowded, the occasionally have to be managed and culled. As such there are two things that these exotics ranchers do: they either donate individuals to zoos or wildlife preserves back in Africa, or they do the more common thing and charge huge sums of money for people to have the chance to hunt these animals on safari. This second option not only gives the landowner a way to directly and effectively manage the populations of these animals, but also allows them to maintain a steady stream of funding to better keep and manage both their property and animals, allowing them to fire professional conservation and land managers, pay for veterinary work for sickly individual, maintain their fencing, provide and maintain supplemental feeding stations, and other various things that are required to actually run a preserve/hunting ranch. Overall, this results in a net positive for all parties involved. Endangered/extinct species are kept alive and in large numbers away from poachers, native preserves back in Africa have a resource for genetic stock to help maintain their populations, people who would want the chance to hunt and eat African game can do so in a way that is neither illegal, immoral, or disruptive to the ecosystem, and the landowners get paid and are given an incentive to keep these animals alive and healthy. While it is somewhat regretful that this has to be the way things are, this current state of things is at the moment the best chance many of these animals have to living a full life outside of a zoo and not going extinct, as ironically all the property/livestock laws and robust hunting economy we have here in the US makes it so that these animals are considerably safer here on hunting ranches than they are back home in Africa where poaching, incompetent and corrupt governments, lack of suitable game and conservation law, poor economic stability, and lack of efficient infrastructure to maintain reserves has driven most of these species endangered and/or locally extinct.
Yeah I didn't expect it long but the pacing is strong suit and mid way chapter is top 10 game of the year. Bonus I think Platinum actually made an easier style switching.
I hope Woolie knows that rolling forward into the attack has less invincibility frames so to escape multiple hit attacks it's best to dodge to the side or back. Edit: I misspoke. Dodging into attacks makes you vulnerable before you can dodge again.
@@MrAgentIncognito You are correct sir. I misspoke. You're just more vulnerable from a frontal dodge than the others. My source comes from here imgur.com/a/vL4edct

Chimera usually refers to the mythological creature or a creature of mixed elements but can also just mean “an impossible thing”. Chimera can also be used as a synonym for illusion, which would be fitting in this case since they aren’t normally visible and are dismissed as nonsense when people do see them.
8:20 I once watched a 1970's movie where the plot was just that there were 100 lions on the movie set, doing whatever the fuck they wanted. It happened because some crazy hollywood guys decided "lets get a bunch of pet lions!" and the sheriff said "FUCK NO". The actors then realized that it would be cheaper to just rent their own reserve. Then they decided "lets do something cool with all the ions!". Ergo, you have actors next to 100 lions, tackling people in the middle of their lines. As you can guess... the rest of the plot takes a back seat to trying not to be eaten in real life by lions. Of course, the lions hold little candle to the elephant. There is a scene where an elaphant picks up a lady- and she has REAL distress on her face. Because he leg was being broken at that very instant. But they decided "no, that is perfect. use that shot".
I love the pace of the videos, woolie, as well as the length, but man, it is kinda funny to see Pat Stares At Astral Chain (Part 4) (at SIX HOURS WHAT THE FUCK PAT) right next to Woolie vs Astral Chain (Part 4) (at half an hour)

In captivity means in zoos, you dinguses. Tigers being in captivity in Texas isn't the greatest place but it's better being in preservation stateside than constantly endangered out in Asian jungles constantly being encroached upon and poached.
Captivity also refers to pets. The overwhelming majority of tigers in texas are people backyard pets. There are only 17 accredited zoos in Texas and an estimated 5,000 tigers there. 17 zoos don't have the space for that many tigers even if they didn't have any other animals.
I've only ever heard captivity in reference to zoos, sanctuaries, reserves, and maybe farms at a stretch. Also the number being higher than 400 in illegal pet ownership of Tigers in Texas has never been fully confirmed. It's possible because between the zoos and other things they have over 1000 tigers themselves. And while it's depressing no matter what the situation is, my core point was tigers are critically endangered in the wild already, and we can't really return them to their natural habitat.
You can skip side missions without feeling like you are missing out. If you do so then the game definitely feels more action focused. I"m all on board with an 80 part playthough though.
