    @BlackOpsApesta Před 25 dny

    You're missing the point. Pong may not have an explicit political message but its development and creation is imprinted in the social and political context of the time. Electronics were developed due to the cold war, specially due to the arms race. The mass production of electronic consumer products would be impossible in a different political and economic context, starting with the fact that the whole game design (and arcade games in general) is based on sucking your coins as fast as possible, something that's only logical in a capitalist mentality. There were no Pong machines in maoist China. As for the other games you mentioned, Zelda doesn't have an explicit political message either but the implicit assumptions on sex politics is and the echos of feudal ideology are crystal clear. The idea that games like Operation Wolf or Contra don't have a clear political message of Reaganite militarism and anticommunism is laughable. Do you think that's a coincidence that no NES game has you playing as the North Vietnamese or the Angolans? Even the name Contra is a reference to a real political scandal. That doesn't mean that the developers were pushing for an ideology, it's just that pop culture reflects the implicit assumptions of the political context that gives it birth, either by upoholding or subverting them. And the claim that there were no explicit politics in games before "the PS3 era" is laughable. Metal Gear was explicitely political already in the late eighties, for example. And yes the Star Wars movies are not only political, they are as explicitely and unsubtely political as October or Rome: Open City. To be honest the whole polemic about "political games" seems a knee jerk reaction from manchildren who were to deft to see the politics in what they played as kids, and get angry when those get pointed out, specially when they have reactionary views and are challenged by others.

    • @die1mayer

      Tbh, the backlash is not against political themes in general but progressive agendas infiltrating fantasy and developers insulting their audience. Nobody is offended by a Capitalism vs Communism game, but woke and diverse characters forced into a beloved franchise like Star Wars which was a traditional story about good vs evil.

The only difference is they are asking people to not act like they don't exist. No one is forcing you to sit and watch any star wars movie. If they are too 'woke' for you then don't buy a ticket.

    I agree. "The Undiscovered Country" is the best Star Trek movie out of the entire franchise. An additional reason (aside from the several you mentioned in your video) is the fact that in the 1990's the movie industry finally started getting significantly better with the advancements of C.G.I. special effects (such as in "Terminator 2" released the same year in 1991) and therefore were able to incorporate those effects into "The Undiscovered Country." Keep up the good videos, and "Live Long & Prosper."

    I just randomly got this video in my recommended and let me just say rather than just scrolling immediately I actually was really fascinated by how similar your view on Oblivion is like my own view! I completely agree with how in its own way oblivion is better than Skyrim! There are little things, just little things that really add character to it; the nostalgic amazing atmospheric soundtrack, the world, characters, experiences, quests. All of it! I really would like to hear more about your regards of Oblivion! Cheers!

The goal was to get endurance up to 99 ASAP to max out the hp increase. 1 hp per 5 endurance. It makes it very easy to make even a mage into a tank.

  • @weall1208
    @weall1208 Před 2 měsíci

    I can only understand someone liking Oblivion if they played it when they were like 11. It's not a good dungeon crawler (since there are only 3 types of dungeons) and the combat can be described as less than stellar. It's a poor RPG with mostly shallow quests and characters voiced by 5 people. And it's also the perfect case of Bethesda making their setting milquetoast and boring. Cyrodill is Generic Fantasy Land. It certainly is charming with it's soundtrack and warm colours but that's not enough to carry a game. I enjoyed both Skyrim and Morrowind far more than Oblivion.

    • @the-grabbag
      @the-grabbag Před 2 měsíci

      It's probably because it was the first Elder Scrolls game I've played. Sure the world is super generic, but I loved the leveling up and the magic in it better than Skyrim. I never had the chance to play morrowind. It's on my list of games to play one day.

      @@the-grabbag True enough about the magic. Skyrim simplified that along with all other systems even further than oblivion. And it's not that Oblivion was wholly unenjoyable for me, it's just after a while I ended up pushing myself to finish it by force. I like to 100% games or atleast get as close as I can but the copy-pasted caves/ayleid ruins just broke me after clearing out around half the map.
