People are also being really easy to be manipulated nowadays, just look at the Stellar Blade outrage where you could easily surround your average game with culture war narrative

Thanks so much for these Gooba and Jetpack! These make a fantastic background for reading another Nancy Drew book :D

Anybody gonna mention how the NPCs were just reused throughout all the environments?? Like you’d approach man in plaid shirt outside the cafe, turn around, walk a few clicks still outside and there he would be again in all his exactly the same glory? 😂

This playlist is absolute perfectionnnnn!

Theres no winning, its like You like a popular game: hated You like a "overrated game":hated You have a prefrence on how you game: hated You own a pc: hated You own a console: hated The gaming community is filled with constant hatred its not fun being around. But realistically some people in the real world are extremely hateful. To even add on most hate moderation and say "you dont deserve to be on the internet if you cant handle toxicity" turns out its a mindset who want to be rebellious and have the freedom to be a-holes online.

I have player every Nancy Drew game most of them multiple times. The major issue is not the delay or switch in engine its the huge decline in quality. We waited years for MID and it was inferior in pretty much every way. Keys was better and gave me a bit of hope but it is also inferior to the old games. I went back and legitimately their 20 year old games had better graphics and more interesting puzzles and stories. I could sit here and be blindly geateful we are getting new ones at all but why should i be when they are categorically worse then the previous 30? The previous games had unique and highly detailed set pieces. The last two were basically unity asset store flips. The old ones had a good mix of interesting puzzles that flowed well with the story most of the time. The recent one we constantly got stuck because the order of events was so ridgid and some of the puzzles were nonsensical. I feel we are perfectly in pur rights to criticize a company when our loyalty and money is going to makong inferior versions of the game.

gaming community is not toxic, gamers are

binged over 2 days and i enjoyed it, i like media that is outrageous and silly and overly dramatic and twists and ridiculous ending, i was entertained ! i ff'ed slower scenes but it was predicable and so unpredictable

its Roxy !

What happened to the other Nancy Drew Ambience videos???? They were amazing.

Its the same with concord now 😢

It's not toxic the videogame fan base like all nerd hobbies are by and large stupid there stupid people

The bird house out front is such a great idea! ❤ Why weren't there any in the game!?

👍such an amusing review tbh! 😂👌I've never even played this game, looks cool though. It reminds me I'd been meaning to ask if you guys ever played Call of The Sea; it's got Nancy vibes so I always thought you two might enjoy it! (and don't worry it has varied puzzles and an actual story lol)

Wow! Incredible! I didn’t even realize this was the sims at first, I assumed it was some game design. Really good work 😊

Just the way people talk now in general feels so confrontational. And people online always seem on edge itching for an argument.

Obviously this is meant to be soothing and calm, but I so badly wanted to jump in the pitcher plant

Yay! I'm happy to see this series again 💜

Love this. Please keep doing this.

I came here from the KEY review video which I'm about to go and watch now. I will admit I had not watched this video until today because I thought it would make me mad LOL 😅 but it actually did not. You make some very good points and were also very respectful during your whole assessment. I would agree that it's unrealistic to expect any gaming studio to pump out games the way HeR did and I also am amazed they were able to do it in the first place. You made good points about fans needing to be appreciative of just how many games there are and to be realistic about what any gaming company is capable of accomplishing and sharing now and in the future. I personally lost sight of the games and the company about 15yr or so ago (college and adulting, it happens) but Covid happened and allowed me to find my way back to the series. I remember playing MID for the first time not realizing what had happened with the company and the utter despair I felt when I saw the game for the first time - it did look like the company and games were dead. Like most, I was absolutely ecstatic to find out they were working on a new game, something we had all thought utterly impossible. It was truly wonderful to feel a part of all of the initial hype and see the community so excited and collaborative. I think there were/are issues at a higher level in the company that made the jobs hard for the dev and marketing teams. Realistically the teams and anyone we associate with their social media are not making the larger decisions or choices and have to adjust and provide based on what they're given/told to do. They didn't decide when to release teasers or how much to share, and I hope I speak for most people when I say we really very much appreciate the social team, with all the work they put into puzzles and content, and the dev team, for all their hard work on the game. I think the hype wave built up and crested too quickly, but that didn't affect my perception of the game itself. I think it's unfortunate that the higher up decision makers seem so far removed from the fan base and feedback, because there are things repeated from MID that would have been easier to just do differently. I know they need to also appeal to new users, not just longtime fans, but a lot of decisions both before and after launch didn't really do either 🤷‍♀ After playing, it's evident the game itself is unfinished and also lacks fine tuning. As you (maybe unintentionally?) hinted at, this could be because the fan base was so verbal that the execs decided to wrap up the game and release it already. They also might have run out of money or there could be another reason entirely, who knows. I bought the game as soon as possible on their website and, even though I'm personally dissatisfied with it, I would still buy the next game they release to continue supporting the company and also in hopes that the next game is better than the last. I think whoever makes the larger decisions needs to resync with the fan base and be realistic about what the games need to be successful - from a development and marketing standpoint. I hope they will listen more and that they keep making games, becasue the community and series really are something special. Appreciate both of you, your love of the games, and your dedication to open discussion 🙂

So relaxing! So many good memories listening to this music. 🎶

1:02 How do you trigger it??

My question is why do companies promote the toxic behaviors while punishing others that are trying to help there teammates(example play league watch someone int give them advice to fix there lane or survive it watch them flame you and you get penalized)

John coming back as a phone contact is such a brilliant idea!

This is amazing!!! If you have this saved to the gallery I totally need to find it! I am trying to do all my favorite ND builds in sims ❤ love your content!!

I've been playing OBSESSIVELY since 2004 and have played every game made multiple times. My mother (74years old) and I (47 years old) play these together. We make a great detective team as we have different techniques, approaches, ideas, etc. I'll admit, HER interactive has not been viewed kindly by us lately. But your video acted as a Valium, lol. Well, your video and the fact that we're currently (finally) playing the new game. Thanks for posting this video! To my fellow fans: here's a Koko Kringle bar for you! 🍫

The NPCs taking the photo have me cracking up 😂😂

The AI inclusion seemed a little random.

Omfg you ppl are so fucking old

George: " uh Bess is that suppose to be smoking like that" Bess: " oh no --Darn it" Nancy: " darn what" Bess: " my roux it's ruined" George: " oh no she wrecked her roux" Bess: " it's not funny George" George: " yes it is Bess" never fails to put a smile on my face when I hear that conversation

This is too cute! I like how at the end it looks like she’s going to prom 😂

This video was 2 years ago and things became much much worse now

Oh my goodness Does Arglefumph knoww?

Thank you so much for making this! Will help me a lot in my engineering work ♥

That’s so true 😂

This is the best thing I have ever seen

Does anyone actually do the first one ??

I would love to play it but unfortunately it won’t work on my pc. Thank you for a great review.

the “it’s locked” is my fav Nancy quip lol

Completely agree with everything you just said. Been feeling VERY strongly about this lately. Realizing how much Gen Z and Millenials complain.

Ah, the community that throws money at shit games and microtransactions (basically are voting with their wallets) and then complain how the industry is dying, bad, boring and so on.

Ok but why should her 'family have never taken it under such circumstances'?? (4:27) If they'd stolen it that's one thing, but as far as I understand it was just a gift from the nobles they sheltered as thanks for helping them, which means it's rightfully Adela's lol. If she feels like giving it back out of generosity that's chill but she should be have no compunction about keeping it

I know this is from a while ago but I just wanted to say this stream of yours is so amusing I watched it twice over XD (second time was showing it to someone) top notch content y'all👌

"DADDY GOLF BALL" 😂😂 I'm dead 😂 you guys always get me with your jokes👌💯👍 (also blackmoor manor was my childhood fave too~!!)

I have to mute mine everytime😂

IKR LIKE I WAS WAITING TO PLAY CARDS WITH HIM

Loved the intro 🤣

Great review, but I think the fact that you were able to play it on a gaming computer massively enhanced your experience. I've got a 2021 MacBook pro that met the requirements but I still had to play the low graphic setting and it was buggy and laggy - the coffee game was genuinely painful because of this, and don't get me started on the lockpicking mechanism that didn't correctly register button clicks. Plus the point and click 'classic' mode was definitely an afterthought so it's not the most functional, I had to give up on it and use WASD controls which isn't ideal when you just want to play on your laptop on the couch. I found it to be an ultimately disappointing game and I don't understand why HER is building these games with such high system requirements when a large part of their fanbase are casual gamers, especially when the games don't seem to have graphics, systems or functionality that should require them.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to spend my money on the game after MID so this spoiler free review is so so helpful!

Just discovered your channel and love your content!! Your editing and humour are iconic haha great review :) Subbed
