this absolute goober had to fire up cheats in a game that has 4 difficulty modes and a button that builds your character for you.

You've been missing the gamer community meetings Cole.

VR is the best

Ty

Love your style dude. Keep trucking!

This is very painful. Just read the text dude it is not that hard. Also dnd 3.5 and NWN2 never required college level algebra.

What am horse? Horse am friend

so the thing about this game, I don't think we're meant to do all the NPC quests without a guide, i think the developer's intentions were to drop this cryptic piece of art into our laps, and then have the world come together and figure out wtf it even is. it's the video game version of the voynich manuscript, and it's an attempt to recreate that childhood magic of talking about pokemon on the playground, the reason pikachu has a 2% encounter rate in viridian forest is because it's going to be a very magical moment for them, same with shiny pokemon, their friends will never believe them, i heard in dark souls 3 there's a way to save greirat when he goes to lothric castle, i heard there's a way you can make boc the seamster into a human without him dying, I don't know what i did, but it worked their art is their means of injecting some wonder into the world, getting everyone to come together and try and figure out all of the nooks and crannies of this very peculiar piece of media. apparently there's still some DLC things that nobody has found and documented yet, months after the DLC came out, and with the demon's souls remake, it took people months to figure out that you need to play two NG cycles basically perfectly to collect 13x2 special coins which unlocks the penetrator's armor set, one of the coolest armor sets. do you see what they're doing? this is the adult version of a shiny pokemon, or missingno, or mew under the truck, it's giving us a platform to build a community, interpret the worldbuilding, extract stories, they're calling on the community to help build a fictional world with them, talk about the game, read item descriptions, share your headcanon, why would radahn let all of caelid fall to ruin instead of just slaying malenia, why was he holding back, why would rykard do this to his followers who he genuinely cared about and was trying to found the world anew on a more egalitarian basis to help them, is miquella actually nice or are those people just being charmed and manipulated, does dung eater have a CBT fetish? these are all questions that it falls on you and me to ask, which weave a deeper narrative

Hey! You talked about Steins;Gate several times throughout the video, so I was wondering if you’ve had the chance to check out the other entries in the Science Adventure series? If you have the chance, I highly recommend the entry before S;G, Chaos;Head Noah with the fan translation patch. It’s incredible, and, in my opinion, better than S;G- and that’s saying a lot since I consider both masterpieces.

I want another Shining Force turn based tactical game!

what about hors d'oeuvres

....I really had to power through the microphone deepthroat

I never heard of this series or played any but ive pre ordered this and im excited to try it. Shame the remake of 1 and 2 are only digital only in english.

Man I would love a new shining force. Don't expect it to happen but I sure would love to see it.

This video is really cynical, close minded, and very self centered and opinionated. This iant no review. Its a hate video. Plus the claims that platonic doesn't care about their fans is 1000% false! As for the remaster question... I can answer that reason behind it. Ya see... because of the games age... it's becoming hard to just buy and play. This is due to files being different and not up to date for modern systems. So the device failes to read some of the files. A great example is the sonic adventure 1 and 2 games on steam. So their remaking it for the new systems so it can work on modern hardware. As well as repairing those hard-coded bugs in the process while adding new stuff to the game to make it more user friendly (due to some of those bugs that refuse to die). That's why it's getting a remake. Hence why it's not called YOOKA-LAYLEE Remastered. Ya know? As for an update... they tried but found out that some of the bugs are unable to be fixed due to it being hard coded and the only way to fix it would be having to rewrite the whole entire games code to fix it.

I can’t wait for this one, I’ll preorder the physical copy. I wish the first two games were also released in physical copies with English translation

This game need a remastered version

Nice video man!! I'm the same, kind of liked the trailer everyone hated (and I'm no woke newb, I'm more a grizzled vet of 9 full Origin to Trespasser playthroughs), but was verrrrry anxious about the gameplay trailer after the harsh response....so pleasantly surprised. Looked like Inquisition combat, but better tbh - that Rook though, looks 15 years too young for that voice lol.

"...he's finished Elden Ring at least TEN TIMES..." >_> ...I'm reasonably confident I've cleared the final boss of ER hundreds of times (I have well over 3100 hours in the game and counting). At first, I thought you were being satirical, but then I thought "I'm pretty sure there's just something wrong with me." XD

17:36 the ability wheel has a top part which is empty hmmm im curious

Also... Please don't be intimidated by Bloodborne. I thought I'd never beat NG +1. Now I have platinumed it and have a ng +6 +1 character playthrough. If I can do that, anyone should have the ability if you just knuckle down. Then, you will love Bloodborne like it's a member of your family. You're glad it's around to pick you up and it provides you with many fond memories. Love Fromsoft games!!!

The OC campaign is definitely not the best and very generic, similar to the OG NWN1 campaign. However I feel BG3 devs took a lot of inspiration from NWN2, some of the events feel familiar and some of the dialogue too.

Can one really call something a scuffed version of something else when there's nearly a twenty year gap between the two?

Also I struggled on Jedi Fallen Order and playing on Easy mode helped me enjoy the story and combat.

Playing Evil With In on Easy made me love the game even more, because I struggled too much on normal. Now it's one of my favorite games 😁

This is crazy, I was just in a discussion with my friend about why to play Elden Ring. He said he tried Bloodborne and hated it... after an hour or two. He said he didn't like how there isn't a story or direction. I tried and tried explaining how deep the lore is and how much content there is. He still doesn't care. And he loves fighting games and reading books everyday. So I'm just completely lost on how to convince him to play. I really wanted him to experience this amazing game the way I did. I never played any souls games and hated fighting games. I dived in and stuck with it, and when it clicked it was amazing

23:31 today my very colorblind self learned that the 2 squares shown are different colors. I don’t know about buffs either, I just know to avoid baldachins blessing

In my first playthrough I did not look anything up or even saw any content on it, full blind I managed to finish the game, did I miss like 3 bosses? Yes. Did I missed like 5 or more quest? Yes. But that´s Elden ring's magic, you are not gonna do it all at first, so just do it again, but better. You might find a new favorite weapon, maybe a favorite quest or spell. But you can either let it where you finished by yourself or go back and do more if you do want to

Still watching but I love this video essay so far

i think elden ring is easier to learn compared to dark souls and bloodborne.

Whilst the buggy launch of NWN2 can't be ignored it was also how the "official until there's a problem" forums of the day dealt with it. You had thread upon thread of people having problems upto and including show stopper issues and basically the response from community reps & mods was "Welp, sucks to be you. Works fine here." Infogrames (who were using the Atari brand at the time) did not give a single shit. IMHO it's one of the first examples of companies just throwing games out there in a broken state and realising they can get away with it. Ironically the reason I'm so comfy with the Rouge Trader game is that it plays, pretty much, like NWN1.

27:06 no it's not on consoles. I have ps4 and sometimes when it's lots of npc on screen it drops in framrate but never freeze. Like when u have the 2 giants drawing a big wagon with weapon at the end. Those places gets pretty bad but like I said it never freeze

Why do so many use the crossbow? It is incredibly slow and often heavy. Use bow and arrows instead. The tiny bows are so light you can have it equipped all the time in one of the slots

Summon 3 people let them beat the game for you, praise the sun 🌞

Remember playing this game when I was younger. Nice video

The other part of this that stands out to me is when you said you're not sure what is a masterpiece in the video game medium. I have two: Outer Wilds and Nier: Automata. I highly, highly recommend you play them both. They are completely different, but they are absolutely at the pinnacle of "video game as art."

I think the part on "needing a guide" at around the 30 minute mark is relatable but a bit misunderstood. FromSoft builds "community communication" abilities into their games, with the signs and stains and such. I think they not only acknowledge but expect that the community at large will assemble the pieces over many runs and work together to construct things like the game wikis that others rely upon. I think being a part of that is a really cool thing.

@9:42 That's only half true. You keep your exp, but your gold is cut in half when you die.

Great video! Really entertaining and honest, while also presenting fair criticism. It's really funny that you explained your thoughts on the narrative from different perspectives of what different types of people might experience but most comments are like "you see, you need to join the psycho gang to really enjoy it, it's how Miyazaki intended it to be". That being said, I really really would love for you to decide to sink you teeth even deeper into the game and to find out what's the fuss all about, and maybe come back to show to the basic tier people if they're really missing out or not. For me, Elden Ring's story is really special and I can't remember the last time I became so fascinated with another world as I did with the Lands Between.

Lmao the only thing thats scuffed here is ur mom. NwN2 is love, BG 3 is pure cringe.

Sekiro is not a Soulslike. If you *really* want to count Sekiro, you'd first have to mention King's Field and Shadow Tower. Hell, at that point even Armoured Core.

"Hand fixation" aka trying to follow the trend of people not even using half a braincell.

Hands down my favorite video game ever. The scale alone 😮

i will say, the thing with the performance that i've noticed is that the people who have problems with the performance usually have super high end PCs with 4080s and the like. i'm on a fairly mid-range build and have NONE of these issues, running solid 60FPS 99.99% of the time, with the only times i get frame drops being minor drops to 45 FPS for at most a half second.

Playing through 2 rn. I played 1 but I prefer 2 in every single way. I also find it to be easier than 1. I’m still new to dnd so getting into 1 wasn’t necessarily difficult, but some stuff is confusing compared to 2 where I felt things were explained more clearly.

Dude, Nintendo has PLENTY of mature rated games on switch games

I haven't had half the problems you've had with the game. Maybe don't run five hundred other things while playing the game? The problems you had sound like a bandwidth issue, not a software one. As for the story, you answered your own question. Replay. It makes you want to dive into the game more. Millicent's storyline. The Dung Eater. All the items having lore attached to them(which, if you READ, would have most of your questions answered). It's a game made to teach you that paying attention to the world around you and what's going on matters. I find that players that get it, and do well in Souls games, have the same success in life.

Hear me out. A 1:1 remake of shining force 1 but with 3d environments and modern pixel art. That's the game.

This is why I kept telling my friend to play the game "blind" on a first playthrough. "Roleplay" as much as you can and you will have a great time. Be a Lannister, be a Targaryen, be Guts, be whoever you want to be and enjoy the moments. They only come once and the discovery is all the more satisfying for a "blind" playthrough. You can look up guides if you're really, truly stuck but there will always be visual indicators in the game as to where to go next. Graces "point" roughly as to where you should head over to. The only tip that even FromSoftware suggests is for players to level up "vigor", 60 vigor is the goal for soft cap. From that alone, your main damage stat should be equivalent, 60 str for str mains, 60 dex for dex mains, 60 int for int mains etc. May the grace of gold guide you Tarnished! Edit: The journal you wanted is your entire inventory. Read the item descriptions.

''what's a green square what's a red square'', how can anyone know...
