Unraveling Gaming's Newest Scam: Fake Sequels

There’s a few interesting trends in gaming over the past few years. Every game seems to feel the need to yoink gameplay mechanics from Dark Souls, games release as nearly unplayable only to be patched up in the coming months after everyone's moved on, and the live service model seems to be sinking its stupid teeth into every single game.

The Rise and Fall of Open World Games: A Brief History

Open-world was, and still *might be* the standard for video games. Over the past 2 decades, we’ve seen them rise to fame and dominate the single-player gaming scene.

A Critique of Minecraft's Crafting System

When I called Minecraft out for its crafting system in my last video, I was met with some backlash. Of course, this is expected, because people love Minecraft almost as much as I love an inconsistent upload schedule. But after reading the comments, people were actually bringing up good points, so I decided to set my pride aside and rethink my argument. Now let’s get one thing clear-I hate craft...

Minecraft: The Game That Accidentally Killed Fortnite
alpha is easily one of the greatest songs in video game history
I remember playing mincraft 2013 and my parents are fighting over me spending all my time on my family pc. They were fighting over me being lonly and may be deprest. They comming to talk to me and im explayend my singelplayer was for my friends, (I did not have). The best and the worst memorys was with this game. Now im 25 and living with my wife but these songs still make me sad
that wasnt the golden age of fpses, that was the last age before they rapidly deteriorated. the golden age was with Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and ended around Halo CE
Can confirm I'm in therapy to this day because I played Black Ops on the Wii. It was... quite the experience.
Very good!!
How videos like these have completely no bot comments or unoriginal copy pasta comments
Yo. WoW did not pioneer the MMO genre. Ultima, EQ, DAoC, and Lineage were all major players prior to WoW even starting development.
Some video game music, old Disney cartoons had such good songs which make me tear up when looking back. The soul put into a well crafted work is so heartwarming
As a player of raid they are significantly worse then summoners war with their predatory spending push i use to spend in it but now play ftp. Legit everything they do from fusions is p2w like its unreal how bad they are
Something about it. It sounds like what loneliness sounds like
We are in an era of brain dead storytelling so you won’t have to worry about cutscenes for much longer. The newest Final Fantasy game gave up on having a plot mid way thru the game.
And then came Lena and ruined it...
10:05 what are those villagers doing???
I fell asleep to Aria Math and I think It was one of the best dreams will ever have again. It started off with the hand pans, and my brain knew that this melody is from minecraft, then causing to dream in Minecraft. Once the sythns started to play, I entered creative mode. I could do anything. My friends were there too, all of them together, which was something I was starting to envy. We built for a while and at one point, played along with the music?? I woke up when the track ended. I wish I could go back to 2011-2014, truly a great time.
21:47 "you aint seen anything"
DQ XI crafting system was fun and rewarding tho'
terrar
hows bro not at 1m subs yet
Sweden really makes me feel like crying. It's remixes with rain sound in the back goes really well when studying
Firewatch is so good bro, the storyline and visuals is amazing, nothing i've seen before.
"shut up Arthur"
brooooo i've got chills! Thank you this video was very nostalgic.
The music at the beginning makes me want to play Minecraft Hunger Games.
8:04 a too familiar feeling. That one hit me.
yo does someone know the remix of this song 1:55
Volume Beta makes me cry more than Alpha especially Moog City 2 and Haunt Muskie 😭
back is the days
I kinda felt personally attacked when he didn't cover Aria Math
Check out my volume beta video!
It's sad now what Microsoft did to C418 😞
nostalgia is my childhood BGM, can't go back anymore
Bro the video made me cry at the start
#BringBackMinecraft
minecraft is the true nostalgic game ever... and without its music.. it will create 50% nostalgic but music and game creates more nostalgic.... C418 and Notch on top..
That he talks of managers that listen to the community and help with issues well saddens me as now all they care about are stock prices and meeting quotas while giving us measly crumbs like armadillos and frogs. Truly, the state of minecraft is in shambles and we the community need to fix this.
However (forgot to add), cutscenes where yr character doesn't have voice or dialog makes the cutscene really stupid, Far Cry ND was like this, my god it bored me stupid and was totally not immersive at all, didn't finish that game and got rid of it long before it even got started. The witcher 3 has the best cutscenes i have watched in a game, yet in Baldur's Gate 3 some of the cutscenes are a bit stupid an barge right in while yr trying to sneaking into an area, for me this is where a cutscene does not make sense. But cutscenes where yr character doesn't have voice just breaks immersion and ruins the game. So yes i agree, some cutscenes can wreck a game if they are not done right, i think CS should be game IF and WHEN they are needed, not every few feet or so. IN far cry ND i was armed with a shotgun at the start of the game, these two asshole twins just strolled of their bikes looking like they are gods or something, if it wasn't for the cutscene i could of blown them away and jumped over ledge. BUT no, i was forced to watch this senseless CS where these two prattled on, it was the start where boredom was setting in. But when i discovered that my character did not have a voice, BYE BYE game.
HA HA HA "Bethesda is a Studio with great writers" LMFAO!! They are the worst gaming studio where writing is concerned. They couldn't write a decent story if their life depended on it. Their early games were quite good where story is concerned, but the likes of skyrim which was pretty poor and fallout 4 which was total dribble. Oblivion had a decent story, Fallout 3 pretty good story, Skyrim pretty lame story, Dragons become a real pain and very repetitive, Fallout 4 story is total bullshit, its all action a d base building, very little story and less thats worth watching or listening too. And what i have heard Starshit too is quite lame, though tbh i have not played this game and never will, but its what i have watched on video a good many times. Yet if you look at fallout NV that game has a great story, well written.
what ‘bout aria math?
I find Mice on Venus extremely sad
The music also adds lore, as in The End it is a distorted version of Sweden. (Or Minecraft, idk rn) It starts off normal, then starts to glitch, and lastly gets replaced by tv static. That means The End is just a corrupted version of the Overworld. Maybe it is the future Overworld, as the name suggests. Sun exploded, players evolved (Endermen), new entities were created(Shulkers), only floating islands are still standing. That is some interesting MatPat-like stuff here.
Mice on Venus...
I just got a raid shadow legends add before this video lol
Hello I ´ m french and je voudrais te remercier pour cet effort de nous transmettre ces expériences Tu aimes des jeux et tu nous le partages Nice
This was reincarnated in a game Little Kitty, Big City. You have "goals"... but your a cat... go find tthe best napping spot. Go threaten some birds. Go knock over every... single... potted... plant you see.
It's... bittersweet. I'd hate to see titanfall 2 go. When it does, some part of me will die.
Dude, your voice and charisma catch me to the soul! Thanks for the great video, everything about it is great and i love it! We all expirienced minecraft differenty in some ways but nearly the same! Just being curious young guy, filled with hopes and dreams, wanting to get to the top of the world, and this game gave it to us in a lot of ways! I still remember my first few items crafted, the excitment of collecting wood and doing them, the first mud house, the first night spend around skeletons and spiders, first creeper blowing my house, first time in a cave deep in the dark with only few torches and mobs around me, first time playing multiplayer and the excitement of doing stuff together with your bro, first try to make silly jokes with your friends house or chests , ahh the nostalgia is really , really strong.. I watched your previous video about the soundtrack of minecraft and i loved it! Instantly felt inlove with how calm and good your voice is, your thoughts and how you express so good the soundtrack, i feel everything you've said the same! Good job! Subscribed!
This is from 4 years ago, and since then, they have added new music. The new songs in my opinion sound more upbeat, but they can never beat the nostalgia and originality.
Idk why but Kyoto by C418 is just so good. Each song in Volume Alpha and Beta just screams perfection and absolute art. Its diversity is just amazing. C418 is the soul of Minecraft’s music and it always sends a wave of nostalgia and tranquility whenever I play Volume Beta and Alpha.
I don’t like long cutscenes too; I want just to play not to watch a movie lol.
Hello I think the same Thanks
