Contrary to popular belief, game feel is not something that you add at the end of your
development cycle, it’s something that can be used to make your game feel better at
any point in development.
So let’s learn from the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 and Factorio what is their
approach to game feel and dive deep into its influence on gameplay.

Why Rhythm Games Haven't Changed for 20 Years
great video but the raid sponsor is an interesting choice
I'm so glad this guy disappeared after making this video. Every time I click on one of them I'm so annoyed because they are all exactly this bland, but unironically.
17:15 yikes l feel soo dumb This trick was used on me 😂 2hrs ago l just realised it
Really Raid
Where can I find this game?
"Most developers tend to be really friendly" stack overflow: am i a joke to you
there is a point where april fools goes too far.
Isn't PC is the first platform where pay 2 win made their appearance
No videoes? Come back from the dead. The one who left it all behind
No videoes? Come back from the dead. The one who left it all behind
Gray land Desire Epic Conquest Tiny Archer And many other games that i can't recall the name right now. Actually there are many mobile games out there that really worth our time and there are channels that promoting that games. You all don't see them because mobile is not your gaming device in the first place.
POV: you can't pay any money cuz you live in Syria and the online payments are banned in your location
P2P is obviously better than P2W
Helldivers 2
A dislike to your video because of the sponsor
Rmters Goldsellers Cheat market These are an offshoot of the f2p market players will reach beyond and cgeat and exploit legit ganers time forcing them to rmt
Imagine adverting a pay to win game.
What's a Euclidean engine?
The definition of .....
Bro thinks Rhythm Doctor is a good concept💀💀💀💀 Literally just memorize the beats and mute everything and you still win lmao
Pretty neat concepts, love it. But I have seen a british guy talk about that. He is calling your double take "running into a catch". :P
Beat saber in perormative play only looks cool if you have mixed reality, like people usually look stupid flicking their arms and wrists around. The game makes you feel like you look cool but in reality you don’t look that good.
Calling Phigros a gimmick is a crime to all rhythm gamers
I wanna play it
Even companies like Netease will promise players that no P2W mechanics and certain things will be in the game and even promise that only major changes to the game if the majority of the community is requesting it. Would turn out to not only be a lie but have a history of trying to remove any history of these promises. They'll also ignore protests by a majority of players when they break these promises. It's also why many gamers like myself will hunt for whales in games.
It took me a year to realize this was an April fool's joke. Rewatching it, I spent far too long thinking about how noise cancelling rumble would work
If you haven't already, you should review the sequel, Hyper Demon.
Talks about Pay to Win Mobile Gaming is Bad and at the Same Time is Sponsored by a Huge Pay to Win Mobile Game app What?😅😂.
We really do miss you! It’s been a year come back!
This took me too long to remember the title of the video and realize it was a joke video...
The people whining about Raid, do you not get it?? First off, he's poking fun at CZcamsrs plugging anything for pay, even things they disagree with. Second, he can pick his ads, this was on purpose. He's plugging raid in a video destroying games like raid. No one is going to play it. He got paid to tell you not to play the game. 😅😅
no matter how much the devs of mobile games try to convince me to play their games i know that i am NEVER going to download them EVER!
Rhythm games are most popular in asia in arcade culture. All of this doesn't apply to the majority of rhythm game players. Most of them are playing sound voltex, chunithm, iidx, ddr, pui, pop'n, etc. and most avoid games like osu or "simulator" rhythm games as it's full of copyright violations
I'm sorrym what?
Juiciest troll video ever
Lapse 1, Lapse 2, the bonfire 2 (you need to purchase it but you can play for free by watching ads every there and there but they are really making a good game so it is worth it)
Talking tom is the freeist game i have found. All the items are free and can be unlocked by watching ads. I recommend it.
This is bringing me back to when I first got a smartphone and downloaded Angry Birds GO! The fact that you had to WAIT to play a certain character after a few runs...
awesome video!
Whats the game at 13:37 ?
Sponsored by raid, how ironic. Shut yo raid yapping butt up.
MAKE KAWAIRUN 2 SERVERS BACK UP PLEASE IM BEGGINGGGGGGGGGGG
When the word raid was dropped, I stopped watching. What pathetic clickbait 👎
Underated
The drill sergeant in half life opposing force is pretty legendary though.
Ok the double take is good. But the best idea you have here is not that. It's how you planned your narrative in so many details (lighting, catchline, the elevator trap !!) to push the player in this double situation. Amazing job !
This is just casino strategy, but instant. Target retirees, send gifts, run special events. There needs to be a widespread boycott on these f2p games.
I thought this was legitimate and I was too dumb to understand the jargon, but a lot of it is April Fools gibberish.
Really sucks this guy left after this video, his content was so nice
Wiki game. You need to watch tutorials to figure out the mechanics of the game. In-game handholding tutorials are much better than having to find tutorials online.
