Yeah, you pretty much can't trust any of the mainstream shills, they are paid to give these games good reviews regardless what they believe or don't believe, I would rather trust independent gamers who aren't getting the game for free and you aren't catering to this b*******. The people who are most critical of games I trust more.
I mean, these people are extreme shills. They are used by companies to hype up games for early access reviews. Only time they talk bad about games is after everybody says that game isn't good.

I think the new strategy with this kind of titles is just trying to pump them early to dope the preorder's numbers. These people have learned that they are burning their credibility to the ground so the plan now is to release a preview where the game seems like the second coming of Jesus and a review that instead resemble much more their real thoughts so later they can always say "Well, i mean the first hours where so good but after 20...

I really enjoy Skillup and have similar game tastes as him. There's lots of games he says don't play, I see him as being honest in his opinion. I really don't see Skillup as a shill. Matty on the other hand, I see as tailoring his opinion for his audience and telling them what they want to hear. Just look at Matty reviews on Starfield. And Matty has said his audience is mostly Xbox and Microsoft community. Angry Joe is pretty good and honest, but feeds off of game failures like Concord or Veilguard. And has focused more on entertainment in videos rather then a critical review.
Didn't "Dragon Age" the Failguard teach you that you can't have anything overly dark, slightly controversial, or even the teeniest tiniest bit offensive in a DEI Slop title?
The corporate marketing jargon these reviewers are spewing is no different than the way Raid Shadow Legends handled it. *They're not even trying to hide it anymore.* Modern Audience: Don't think, consume product. Reviewers: Spew script, get money.
I wonder if this early version reduces the wokeness, so the full game can show it fully, like gotcha, surprise. But we were promised it will be there for sure.
I'm fairly certain they definitely curate and tailor the experiences for these early previews. They know what they're doing, they hide the bulk of it on purpose. They're shifty and calculating.
what is it about the color purple, violet, magenta sploshed everywhere in spells and ui for both this and not dragon age the veilguard. Damn blue mana exists
Guns are normal in Pillars of Eternity. They're at a sort of Pirates/Flintlock era of technology in the setting. It has a sort of Steampunk/Magic-Tek/Fantasy vibe. It was pretty cool in the first Pillars of Eternity game. It hit all those classic Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 notes beautifully. Then Pillars of Eternity 2 came along and while the overall game was still good(slightly better, from a pure gameplay perspective), you could see alot of the woke crap creeping in. Now we have Avowed, which is pretty much just going to pull a Veilguard on us all.
they make money off of views+donations from their patrons/subscribers by shilling for games they get early access to obsidian hasnt released anything worth even pirating after fnv, hard pass as usual
The Outer Worlds was a travesty. The story was okay-enough, but there were few real choices because your choices either lead to the same outcome or there were almost always no real consequences. Take the Lt. Mercer options -- you have three choices: you can lie, persuade. or intimidate her. Persuade - 15 exp and she will attack with you. Lie - 15 exp and she will attack with you. Intimidate - 15 exp and she will attack the marauders with you. That's not a real choice. And the game was full of these psuedo-choices.
I'm so fucking disillusioned with this shit. It's seriously killing my love for video games in general. Looks like the remake of Witcher 1 is going to be censored to fuck too. Fuck it to hells. BG3 is doing a huge update soon, I'll just keep playing that until Owlcat or Larian release their next one. 😞
Matty Plays is a giant Xbox fanboy. That's the only reason he's hyping it. I don't dislike him personally, but you can't trust anything he says when it comes to Xbox related content.
Developer of adventure/rpg should start getting better at story telling first. Small or big map won't matter if there's no motivation behind it. In the Witcher 3, there's a lot of side quest basically deliver/kill things from point A to B. But how the NPC character can make us willing to do it, is the key. If the dialog are just average and boring, it make the whole game tedious.
Matty doesn't come across as a shill to me. He just comes across as someone who is very...amiable. He gives the benefit of the doubt, he's not particular about political stuff, or certain ideologies. I think he gives honest opinions, but I think he's just not a very critical person in general. He's willing to overlook a lot, as long as he can have some fun with it. I think those previews they give out are very curated and tailored...I doubt he was aware that the devs were crazy, angry, hateful extremists.
I find it funny how Matty has given bad scores to woke games like Saints Row remake, and Veilguard, but it just never seems to click in his head the common denominator of why these games failed.
@ 😂 I get it. I’m just super sensitive to certain sounds 😂 Other than me just being stupid, I’m in agreement with you on the video topic. Great job. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
to be fair you won't get mainstream youtube reviewers to acknowledge DEI stuff. Expecting them to include it in their review is not really realistic. That's why the whole Kabrutus thing opened a market for people who will include that in their reviews. Aside from the pronouns and dysgenic designs a mainstream person would not have much to say about it before the meltdown of that art director.
They don't have an option to do otherwise. Not currently. People were willing to feign ignorance over paid reviews because the games were fine. Now they games have hit a newest low quality wise and these people refuse to let go of that paycheck.
Ignoring the Avowed art director's meltdown for a moment it looks pretty decent but Outer World looked good in the previews too and them going first to the shills to promote the game is... I'll wait for actual gameplay streams.
The UI overlaps itself several times, it's very messy, I agree with you on that. the items/skills quick selects in the corners of the screen is also very... iffy imo. like it's trying to do too much too quickly, I like how Hogwarts legacy handled the quick 4 select, you used the dpad to select quick loudouts for your buttons, and then could use the dpad to use ITEMS. idk if it's the same, but just watching what you're watching, it's... not done easily.
I’m with ya on with the romance but, I don’t think Avowed will have that. I remember someone from Obsidian doing an interview and talking about romance awhile ago said they wouldn’t be doing that for Avowed because, they’ve never been good at writing romance.
Matty: *non-stop shills about the game, with a small aside about framerate and his setup* Nuhre: "So, I wanna smash the Garrus-fish" for about 10 min. I love it 😂😂😂
I mean the game might be good, I loved Outer Worlds, but these devs have 0 respect and still expect us to support them. So they’ve lost me as a customer til they stop shitting on gamers.
it has like the new world aesthetic (amazons failed mmo). Looks very drab and watching the gun switch to magic wand is pretty goofy lol. Im sure theres lore reasons behind it, but its just funny looking
There's no doubt in my mind that the gender politics will be cringe even in a setting like Pillars. IIRC the most pressing issue of the original Pillars of Eternity was a crisis of faith in Eora where they discover that none of their gods are what we think, they are not celestial beings from a higher domain, but rather artificial constructs bound to a soul. A creation of animancy. That setting is no place for anything resembling Taash come-out scene. Now, seeing skill checks in dialogues tells me that some designers at Obsidian are still trying to keep the tradition from the days of New Vegas and Alpha Protocol. It looks as rough as Alpha Protocol combat-wise too. I predict this game is going to be more mid than the complete trainwreck of Veilguard, and sometimes the mid game feels sadder to play than the trainwreck.
Ever since Corporations, Politicians, & Journalist band together, it's always consumer's fault for their self-inflicted failures. Kinda wonder why no more competition between themselves and it became Corporations vs. Audiences instead. And Journalism became their Marketing department.
The font doesnt look beautiful and not "phantasy". Its just a little detail that breaks immersion, like a lot of other UI elements. You have these phantastic landscapes and beautiful spell effects but then you see these stupid looking HP bars and popping damage numbers...
Something that never made sense to me is why have traditionally chemical based firearms when you have magic couldn’t you just built a tube and shoot stones out using a magic missile for propellant?
This is sad. The milquetoast takes of this guy playing it safe as possible to maintain access. Contrasted with your brutally honest commentary. It's harsh. There is a price of credibility to be paid for running cover for games like Veilguard and Avowed. Dudes a joke, who is 30 and sounds 14. When will his voice drop 50. Freakin' brutal.
After thinking about why Avowed looks this way, I remembered the dev hell Tim Cain (Fallout creator) mentioned in his video about making Outer Worlds. How people would gripe about having responsibility and needing an extremely unnecessary amount of time to complete a feature. This is what we're seeing, extreme lack of polish from immature devs that waste company time doing bare minimum, and then they will stroke themselves saying how beautiful it is....
This whole situation, along with the bastardization of Dragon Age, has guaranteed that I will not be renewing my Game Pass ultimate sub, will likely end up selling my Xbox in a year or so, and will be spending much less money on Western games. I already chose not to purchase a ps5 because of their policies, 1st party radicalization, and lack of interest in their exclusives. Seems Microsoft is following in their path. Besides my backlog is significant and I play on PC mostly. I'm not giving money to companies that promote the antithesis of my values
As long as these people have access and continue getting free shit and interviews from these companies, they'll keep shilling until the wheels fall off.
I'm waiting for Wayrward Realms from the devs who created The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall. I backed that on Kickstarter and have more faith in the devs of that game than anyone at Obsidian these days. I've come to realize that the talented devs at all these bigger studios left them long ago and work on their own now and try to find out what they're doing next cause they're actually the ones who helped make all those great games we loved over the years-not Obsidian or Bethesda or any of these studios with the recognizable names-it's the devs actually working at the studios that nobody knows or remembers the names of that actually made all the good games. That made New Vegas and Daggerfall and Morrowind and all those other great games over the years.

Looks like a Skyrim for the poor man who can't afford a premium Nexus account, or a man who needs a label to be recognized as a woman.
The game doesn't look half bad, but the behaviour of its devs is unacceptable. I will be skipping purly because the behaviour shouldn't be rewarded.
Guns are normal in Pillars of Eternity. They're at a sort of Pirates/Flintlock era of technology in the setting. It has a sort of Steampunk/Magic-Tek/Fantasy vibe. It was pretty cool in the first Pillars of Eternity game. It hit all those classic Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 notes beautifully. Then Pillars of Eternity 2 came along and while the overall game was still good(slightly better, from a pure gameplay perspective), you could see alot of the woke crap creeping in. Now we have Avowed, which is pretty much just going to pull a Veilguard on us all.
so eager for money and views they could literally sell their asses 😂
Edit : qué rico the reactions 👌
they make money off of views+donations from their patrons/subscribers by shilling for games they get early access to
obsidian hasnt released anything worth even pirating after fnv, hard pass as usual
Garrus steals another woman lol. I’m not shocked.
It's the Purple. It's definetly the Purple.
And definitely not the Purple from Saints Row 1 and 2.
I knew this guy was a shill from jump. Right after Fallout 4's release it was getting pretty obvious.
He got a personal interview with Todd "16 times" Howard, so you know he is glazing that game developer pole real good
@@marcogenovesi8570 Lol
God I remember that "near perfect" bullshit
bioware killed dragon age and now obsidian is killing pillars. I hate woke.
Back to back record hits of straight Hot Garbage.🗑️🔥😂😂
Thanks! Great Video!
Glad you liked it!
The Outer Worlds was a travesty. The story was okay-enough, but there were few real choices because your choices either lead to the same outcome or there were almost always no real consequences. Take the Lt. Mercer options -- you have three choices: you can lie, persuade. or intimidate her.
Persuade - 15 exp and she will attack with you.
Lie - 15 exp and she will attack with you.
Intimidate - 15 exp and she will attack the marauders with you.
That's not a real choice. And the game was full of these psuedo-choices.
You can also ignore her, or attack her yourself, if I remember correctly.
yeah they all do it like this now. I haven't played a game with real choice consequences since like... Dragon age 1.
Thanks again for sharing your hard work and pointing out hypocrisy
My pleasure
I'm so fucking disillusioned with this shit. It's seriously killing my love for video games in general. Looks like the remake of Witcher 1 is going to be censored to fuck too.
Fuck it to hells. BG3 is doing a huge update soon, I'll just keep playing that until Owlcat or Larian release their next one. 😞
Matty Plays is a giant Xbox fanboy. That's the only reason he's hyping it.
I don't dislike him personally, but you can't trust anything he says when it comes to Xbox related content.
Developer of adventure/rpg should start getting better at story telling first. Small or big map won't matter if there's no motivation behind it. In the Witcher 3, there's a lot of side quest basically deliver/kill things from point A to B. But how the NPC character can make us willing to do it, is the key. If the dialog are just average and boring, it make the whole game tedious.
UI is big so that console players can see it from 3 meters away from their TV. None of the AAA games made with pc players in mind.
Matty doesn't come across as a shill to me. He just comes across as someone who is very...amiable. He gives the benefit of the doubt, he's not particular about political stuff, or certain ideologies. I think he gives honest opinions, but I think he's just not a very critical person in general. He's willing to overlook a lot, as long as he can have some fun with it. I think those previews they give out are very curated and tailored...I doubt he was aware that the devs were crazy, angry, hateful extremists.
He's been burning twice within less than half a year. He's 30 years old. He needs to wake up.
I find it funny how Matty has given bad scores to woke games like Saints Row remake, and Veilguard, but it just never seems to click in his head the common denominator of why these games failed.
Oh Nuhre ! You feel into the trap of “eating / drinking” right next to the mic 🤦♂️😂 it’s like nails on a chalkboard 😂
My mic was pretty far away. Listen, at least I eat with my mouth closed lmao
@
😂
I get it. I’m just super sensitive to certain sounds 😂 Other than me just being stupid, I’m in agreement with you on the video topic. Great job. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
some people like the eating asmr
😂 fair enough
I always imagine these dudes are speaking in Mr' Slave's voice everytime they shill . I don't know, it just fits better. 😆
to be fair you won't get mainstream youtube reviewers to acknowledge DEI stuff. Expecting them to include it in their review is not really realistic. That's why the whole Kabrutus thing opened a market for people who will include that in their reviews. Aside from the pronouns and dysgenic designs a mainstream person would not have much to say about it before the meltdown of that art director.
They don't have an option to do otherwise. Not currently. People were willing to feign ignorance over paid reviews because the games were fine. Now they games have hit a newest low quality wise and these people refuse to let go of that paycheck.
Ignoring the Avowed art director's meltdown for a moment it looks pretty decent but Outer World looked good in the previews too and them going first to the shills to promote the game is... I'll wait for actual gameplay streams.
The UI overlaps itself several times, it's very messy, I agree with you on that. the items/skills quick selects in the corners of the screen is also very... iffy imo. like it's trying to do too much too quickly, I like how Hogwarts legacy handled the quick 4 select, you used the dpad to select quick loudouts for your buttons, and then could use the dpad to use ITEMS. idk if it's the same, but just watching what you're watching, it's... not done easily.
The game looks like these UE5 scams that pop up on Kickstarter all the time. Like a frickin asset flip. Another reason to "replace" Matt Hansen.
The UI and font looks like it's from those interactive training modules HR makes you complete when you start a new job.
I’m with ya on with the romance but, I don’t think Avowed will have that. I remember someone from Obsidian doing an interview and talking about romance awhile ago said they wouldn’t be doing that for Avowed because, they’ve never been good at writing romance.
Yuuuup this guy has no credibility, hasn't had it for YEARS, i just keep a tab on him to see what games look like
Matty: *non-stop shills about the game, with a small aside about framerate and his setup*
Nuhre: "So, I wanna smash the Garrus-fish" for about 10 min.
I love it 😂😂😂
You see one of his videos, you've seen them all
I mean the game might be good, I loved Outer Worlds, but these devs have 0 respect and still expect us to support them. So they’ve lost me as a customer til they stop shitting on gamers.
Outer worlds was awful, most bland game ever made probably...
it has like the new world aesthetic (amazons failed mmo). Looks very drab and watching the gun switch to magic wand is pretty goofy lol. Im sure theres lore reasons behind it, but its just funny looking
The UI doesn’t look like that of a fantasy game. It looks like a sci fi game to me
There's no doubt in my mind that the gender politics will be cringe even in a setting like Pillars. IIRC the most pressing issue of the original Pillars of Eternity was a crisis of faith in Eora where they discover that none of their gods are what we think, they are not celestial beings from a higher domain, but rather artificial constructs bound to a soul. A creation of animancy. That setting is no place for anything resembling Taash come-out scene. Now, seeing skill checks in dialogues tells me that some designers at Obsidian are still trying to keep the tradition from the days of New Vegas and Alpha Protocol. It looks as rough as Alpha Protocol combat-wise too. I predict this game is going to be more mid than the complete trainwreck of Veilguard, and sometimes the mid game feels sadder to play than the trainwreck.
Coming up Next : Indiana Jones and the temple of Drag and Mass Defect 5....
"Climb that velociraptor like a tree." 💀
So, is it a return to form for Obsidian?
Ever since Corporations, Politicians, & Journalist band together, it's always consumer's fault for their self-inflicted failures. Kinda wonder why no more competition between themselves and it became Corporations vs. Audiences instead.
And Journalism became their Marketing department.
The man is in his mid 20s or so and still calls himself Matty.
Imagine you meet your accountant, he introduces himself as Timmy.😂
I think he's in his 30's
The pricetag already had me holding off on it, and then came the one-teo of "no romancable companions" and the whole artdirector meltdown.
Can you play it from a 3rd person perspective?
Yeah, but the gameplay is really janky
this one just to be first person is a turn off for me.
The font doesnt look beautiful and not "phantasy". Its just a little detail that breaks immersion, like a lot of other UI elements. You have these phantastic landscapes and beautiful spell effects but then you see these stupid looking HP bars and popping damage numbers...
Don’t give your time or money to people & companies that hate you.
So far, one of the things I don’t like is that it took my idea (or they kinda did it first) of having guns in medieval times.
Something that never made sense to me is why have traditionally chemical based firearms when you have magic couldn’t you just built a tube and shoot stones out using a magic missile for propellant?
"It's a return to form for Obsidian Entertainment with the next Game of the Year, _Avowed."_
(Nuhre: ¡Mierda!)
I have to thank these people and the devs they have been saving me a lot of money
This is sad. The milquetoast takes of this guy playing it safe as possible to maintain access. Contrasted with your brutally honest commentary. It's harsh. There is a price of credibility to be paid for running cover for games like Veilguard and Avowed. Dudes a joke, who is 30 and sounds 14. When will his voice drop 50. Freakin' brutal.
Matty: "Salutations!😃"
nuhre: "SHADDUP!😠"
Me:🤣🤣🤣💀
5:36 - Nuhre has Veilguard PTSD, we're here for you Nuhre, we'll keep you sane.
After thinking about why Avowed looks this way, I remembered the dev hell Tim Cain (Fallout creator) mentioned in his video about making Outer Worlds. How people would gripe about having responsibility and needing an extremely unnecessary amount of time to complete a feature. This is what we're seeing, extreme lack of polish from immature devs that waste company time doing bare minimum, and then they will stroke themselves saying how beautiful it is....
I'd rather turn based before going to action as the default model for team RPGs. Real Time with Pause was a happy medium ground
Ew, is that Noah Sampson or do they all have the exact same PDF stache?
🤢
01:52 'una Mierda' jajaj, and with that you just earned a subscribe and thumbs up lmao
I kinda love mrmattyshills. He's such a joke it's incredibly entertaining
0:00 💀😂💀 omg I friggin' ADORE you!! 🙋🏻♀️🥰🤣
Nowadays, companies only have their name left. Most of the people who made the beloved games of the past are long gone
Bethesda, Obsidian, Bioware, they're all just walking corpses at this point.
guys i dont think this game can even reach 30fps lol
This whole situation, along with the bastardization of Dragon Age, has guaranteed that I will not be renewing my Game Pass ultimate sub, will likely end up selling my Xbox in a year or so, and will be spending much less money on Western games. I already chose not to purchase a ps5 because of their policies, 1st party radicalization, and lack of interest in their exclusives. Seems Microsoft is following in their path. Besides my backlog is significant and I play on PC mostly. I'm not giving money to companies that promote the antithesis of my values
The really obviously placed KOTOR 2 box in the background......
As long as these people have access and continue getting free shit and interviews from these companies, they'll keep shilling until the wheels fall off.
I just look at their Veilguard review and that tells me everything I need to know
0:39 I love that you call this bullshit out😂
Gonna try this out on game pass, the thought after veilguard of paying for anothrr $90 game doesnt sit well, we all know how that ended up
I'm waiting for Wayrward Realms from the devs who created The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall. I backed that on Kickstarter and have more faith in the devs of that game than anyone at Obsidian these days. I've come to realize that the talented devs at all these bigger studios left them long ago and work on their own now and try to find out what they're doing next cause they're actually the ones who helped make all those great games we loved over the years-not Obsidian or Bethesda or any of these studios with the recognizable names-it's the devs actually working at the studios that nobody knows or remembers the names of that actually made all the good games. That made New Vegas and Daggerfall and Morrowind and all those other great games over the years.
