"I am so far gone I don't know where mechanics end and exploits begin"
That's a quote for the back of the box right there.
Nah man, that's front of the box stuff.
I think that's Spiffing Brit's motto.
That's a quote I would put on an advertisement, right next to all the awards and stars the game got.
devs should put that somewhere. The way you'd normally have "Biggest game of 2022 - IGN", they could have "I am so far gone I don't know where mechanics end and exploits begin - SsethTzeentach"

Same
To the casual observer Sseth has the same tone and cadence as he normally does in his videos, but those of us who haven't felt grass in years can tell *just* how much he really enjoyed this game.
i thought it was just me, glad to know someone else notices the amount of dehydration coming off him in this vid
It's a successor to Heroes of Might and Magic, he probably nutted in his pants the instant he heard of this game.
A welcome reprieve from Company of Heroes 2
I haven't seen him this happy since he reviewed vampire the masquerade.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who could feel the difference between this and his last few. You can tell when Sseth enjoys a game vs when he loves it. He loves this game.

There is something about these types of games that ultimately boil down to a hundred obscure exploits that are very endearing to a specific type of audience. Not that its a bad thing, but for a lot of people it can be daunting.
Maybe pick up the fuckin game if you can sit for 20mins eyes peeled on it...
Immediately bought the game after seeing this video
And the bard singing after each campaign mission is way more satisfying than sseth gave credit for, holy shit i never expected to be that fun
The devs thought it was really fun to do too, considering they did all the singing themselves.
@@anders8204 They should had hired Paul Romero for the true Heroes of Might and Magic experience!
@@MrConredsX As awesome as Romero is I got to give credit where credit is due, Reynir Helgason needs more work in gaming music. I want to save up dosh with the impending economic collapse, and wait until the game is at least 0.9 version or has an official full release date so I can have a better idea of what strategies to use without them being patched away, but I bought the soundtrack based on "Dance of the Vanir" (the end credit song in the video) and the entire thing is amazing. Well worth the 8 bucks I spent on it.
@@MrConredsX
romero is a copyright troll buddy
and a complete dick about it
really helps sell the idea of this campaign mattering and being important
"Because it represents a return to the 2000's. Where products had long term appeal and complexity. Where some respect was given to the temporary, finite experience..." I wish this was a trend we saw more in current gaming.
We got P2W Gachas instead.
Yes, more _50 Cent: Bulletproof_ and _50 Cent: Blood on the Sand_ please. This is the long term appeal and complexity of the early 2000s I miss.
The funny thing about being nostalgic for all the old titles is that there were at least 10 lumps of shovelware for every gem. I do agree though that game design is a little too safe these days, focusing on balancing over batshit experimentation that may or may not have worked. Good example of the latter would be something like the first two Elder Scrolls games or even Darklands, a game which I'd love to see a spiritual sequel to.
@@MilkPlus of course you would just cite a fucking soulslike. Beside those, there's nothing. Haven't noticed it?
@@MilkPlus This is why I stick to indie games for the most part. AAA games these days often have budgets rivaling Hollywood movies so producers can't afford to take many risks. With one or two man indie games though, they're often developed on the side as a hobby. Even if just a couple hundred people buy their game for $5, they still technically turn out a profit.
I left a review on SOC the day after it came out that read "a warm thank you to the many members of the Baryan merchants guild" knowing full well this review was right over the horizon. You have never disappointed me or my mother sseth, have a good one.
Such a review is proof that the merchants guild is truly omnipresent, both physically and temporally.
Why does this comment read itself in sseths voice?
@@VanoooK It's all truly wonderful!

@@aspiringadonis1253 but, wheres the sauce ?
I find it, and, i am you, But in the future.
10:39 Okay, I thought Sseth was kidding by throwing out a random name, but when I reached the credits scene, the Lead Game Designer hit me like a freight train: Carl Toftfelt.
Great game recommendation.
What a perfect illustration of the tumultuous unpredictability of human beings. I had the exact opposite experience & wouldn’t have dreamed that yours was even possible.
Sseth Tzeentach is Shakespeare’s “brevity is the soul of wit” personified. The idea that he would cap a lengthy bit with an ominous stare at a fictional game designer is ludicrous.
It’s only funny if he’s addressing a real dude, & the fact that you knew he had access to the same “credits scene” you did, yet were still bowled over that he plucked a legitimate name from it, forces me to deny your application for citizenship in Ssethland until further notice.
Apparently he's the vocals on the two campaign narration songs. Dude has some pretty decent pipes on him.
Which makes me wonder when Sseth said, "Which makes you rather upset, so you patch it the next day (13:27)," was he joking or literally did played against the devs to force a patch?
@@234ne14 i imagine he actually fought against him in either Multiplayer or as test and he instantly annyoed him to death
Sseth's dedication to saying "welder" instead of "wielder" was so strong I'm still not sure if it was intentional or he actually thinks it's pronounced like that
A blowtorch was in his eyes when he tried to read it
He's probably using SMAW for welding technic
Hey I didn't even blink. I thought they just "welded" magic or whatever.
I had to go back a couple seconds the first time and check what the game called them. It was weird.
He says "weld" instead of "wield" every time and in every video with that word. I suspect he does this out of spite against anyone that would correct him.
Still hoping you’ll do a review one day on “Tortuga: Pirates of the New World” (sometimes known as Tortuga: Pirate Hunter). Created by a defunct company, the disc it comes on has a Trojan on it. There’s also a free download and patched version online, in a certain place. It’s perfect for your content, great Sseth Mbeke.
Ahahaha wtf i loved that game it came on a disc that came with 3 games tortuga, knights of honour and some strategy game about being a german trader. Glad to see it wasnt just me who got infected by it
How did a Trojan get on it?
Game was so fun though, I loved it as a kid
@@HuevoBendito perhaps the studio was smol and they got infected before the release.
Great game!
Lowkey, the friendship (or at least I assume so) between Mandalore and Sseth is some of the most beautiful, heartwarming thing - in a shitposty, degenerate kind of way.
Not sure how wholesome calling your friend a pedophile is.
@@arty3090 "In a shitposty, degenerate kind of way".
Mandalore is an absolute troglodyte in real life. He pretends to be normal but if you watch him on the Please Stop Talking podcast you'll quickly realise that he's the kind of dude who sets traps for himself when he's drunk, constantly talks to "future david" in the middle of other conversations, and is convinced a witch has put a curse on his house.
@@Stingraysquad That bitch of a witch will get what's coming to her eventually.
They're the same person. Mandalore is just the medicated version of Sseth
Sseth either spend his childhood in Poland or he has a top grade polish gopnik who makes this polish memes for him. I smile every time I see them.
Fr, it's like all physical copies of HoM&M 3/5 and Gothic 2 only still exist in that big, eastern part of Germany and I love it. I wonder if he's seen JP2 memes.

Bought the bag of rice. Brought it home and was immediately attacked by an obsessive compulsive vampire. I threw the bag at the vanpire and it exploded into a billion rice grains. The vampire had no choice but to count every single grain until the sun rose and scorched him to ash.
Thanks, Sseth.
Is this a mechanic or an exploit, no one knows.
@@vivechjorviani5440 It actually was an exploit in the original. The devs included in future titles as an homage.
No wonder asian countries don't have vampires. We have a stock of rice, garlic and salt at home. We also never invite someone over unless it's someone we know.
Aswangs non-canon.
@@vivechjorviani5440 it's an ancient forgotten mechanic as ancient and as forgotten as the mechanic of ordering a lesser devil/imp to count all the grains of sand at the river's coast.

Every time Sseth reviews a game that can be bought on steam, there will be at least one review saying "hey hey people". Fascinating
or:
"A african Warlord told me it's good, so here i am..."
and thats good for him, as the sponsored game developer see results on Sseth's job
How is that "Fascinating?" It's literally what you'd expect.
This one also got on trending as well.
Then we know they are an enlightened member of the glorious merchant guild and the game is worth it.

Thank you for noticing this. I feel like Sseth was ahead of the curve with his editing style for years, and then youtube became green screen meme/zoom spam at faster and faster pacing which makes his older videos seem 'slow'. But now, he's doubled down on the density of his editing and outpaced everyone by also keeping the writing quality high.

“I don’t know where exploits begin and mechanics end.” To me, this is the ultimate sign of a great game. The same thing applies to breath of the wild and it’s what makes that game so great.

Truely a dark savant.
He's a silver tongue in our toothless mouth. Fresh pants on our filthy ass. Nice breeze in windowless our basement. Truely an uncut and broken gem of a man
Honestly he shamed the Spiffing Brit here, who just made a video about rat spam.
*player, game, and developers
@@gargamellenoir8460 All Spiffing Brit does is read reddit and choose the first exploit he sees.
Ross as the Cro-Magnon at 0:16 already killed me. Ross is the pinnacle of evolution, you won't get his sexy cavemen style just by bone-smashing, you need to selectively breed for eons.
I just think it's funny that he's been, at various times:
- The spitting image of Gordon Freeman around the time he started Freeman's Mind
- The spitting image of Jesus Christ around the time he first brought up THE MOVIE and his desire/need to make it
- The spitting image of a Cro-Magnon as the most recent appearance
I think Sseth acknowledges this as well, since ross in shown in youtube food web chart @1:14. He's this single youtuber who predates on no one, and no one predates on him, he exists on his own plane of existence away from the mortal strife.
He's still by the bottom of the food web, but he's still on second-to-lowest row, instead of sseth's lowest row of producers and decomposers.
I like Ross though, he’s wholesome and humble. Seems like a nice dude. But i lold at the cro mag joke 🤣
@@ElimGarakSpoonHead I like(d) him too but him constantly being angry at things shitty games(that he fully consciously chose to play) did wrong is mentally draining, at least for me
Ross who? I know about several famous Rosses on the internet. The other commenter is saying it's the guy on the left,who is also the maker of Freeman's Mind.
Okay, so the impression i'm getting from this game is the devs balanced it using the school of thought that dictates "Once everything is broken, nothing is broken", and the best thing? It works.
@sotuur aeei No idea.
@sotuur aeei Late reply, but it's full of names with unusual Unicode characters. It's most likely there because the regular font could not render them and he had to clip an image of the names in a font that can do so.
Quite literally the best way to balance any game. Tired of modern games balancing through nerfs that make everything monotanous and boring to play. Truly fun gameplay is being able to stretch and strain mechanics
To be honest I kind of want them to make like a weird "Mad Mode" where all the crazy exploits are still in the game for that mode alone.
Funny because the recent reviews say the game is too balanced and nothing is broken.
Not only did Sseth dox himself, but he also set up 15 claymores in his house. Genius.
That’s free goblinite when people show up
4:34 I think that's the most politically correct I've ever heard Seth be
''You can't mix races.''
So that's why Richard Spencer likes this game.
I'm actually genuinely happy with how Sseth has started matching their edge with some tonal breaks. The intensity of their earlier content inspired a lot of shitty behaviour and people unironically doing stuff Sseth was doing ironically. Edgy shit is fun when it stays in an appropriate place, but gets nasty when people start harassing people who aren't in on the joke (looking at you, Qud).
I think it would ruin what makes his content special if he got too wholesome, but I think this video was a pretty good balance (maybe a little on the safe side, but they're a bigger channel now so understandable).

1.0 Songs of Conquest out today!
Updates to the game:
AI has been adjusted to being easier than a cheater, but more intelligent.
Auto battles do not take into account spells, skills, or artifacts.
The recruitment hub building now pools all creatures together, and leaves an average amount of creatures at each individual dwelling.
Cities now allow for units to be upgraded while still within the dwelling, at the cost of upgrading the unit. This tends to be more expensive then recruiting the creature then upgrading it, but makes it easier to recruit upgraded units at recruitment buildings in cities without any dwellings.
City walls now significantly changes how towns are defended. Walls have gates, and come with a garrison and turret. Enemies only attack the gate, and then will conqueror the city if they win said battle. The walls also increase small unit dwelling production.
Certain creatures now cost a resource to recruit, and others, now don't. For example, the poisoner from the undead faction was never used as they cost meteor to recruit, even though the dwelling is cheaper to build. Now the necromancer creature cost meteor, and the poisoner is just a gold cost.
Certain wielders have changed their starting skills, and passives.
Repel now triggers attacks of opportunities.
(I need to stop. I have around 500 hours in the game...)

Truly the gods favour us all with their splendid grace and marvelous generosity on this blessed day my brother of Sseth.
@ThyPeasantSlayer you dare questions Sseths divinity?
one of the best parts of this game so far (in my experience) is how none of the factions are inherently good or evil.
arleon makes peace with the fae and protects the forest but they also conquer other cities and rule with an iron fist.
barya generally tries to avoid violence any time you confront their mercenaries but they also sustain themselves through mercenary contracts and slavery
the rana were innocent slaves who were stolen from their swamp but they also use this as justification for hatred of all humans
loth, like barya, tries to avoid violence and are reacting to the aggression of arleon but they also fill up their armies by raising peoples relatives from the dead
yeah, its really cool how these factions are set up but I find the lore to still be too thin at the moment. i hope the later dlc campaigns do more to expand on their lore, especially Loth's since Aurelia seems to have a lot more going on with her in her current form.
I mean, technically speaking, Loth is the most moral faction out of the three, since they don't have to resort to conscription. Their human units are fanatical zealots of the Unseen Society who have already signed their life away for the recreation of the Aurelian Empire. The rest are either undead (which might as well be magical robots, only a bit ickier. Sure you might feel a little sad to see granpa's tomb desecrated but would you prefer to have your son forcefully drafted to fight and die for the baron?) or rats, which are simply animals.
Arleon conscripts peasants to fight their wars, Barya is an enslaver plutocracy and the Rana want to make humanity go extinct.
@@bluewingedknight7762 I'm pretty sure that Loth also want to kill all the faey as evidenced by Words of Wiesh
@@triplehelix3207 And that’s a good thing, the fae are a temperamental blight on the human settlements of Arleon, razing entire towns to the ground over the most minor of slights.
@@bluewingedknight7762 although true, their alliance with Arleon shows they are willing to listen diplomacy. Alternatively, that goes to show why Loth is right to take down Arleon since they're willing to side with people as awful as the Faey
11:25 I love the idea of a horse running laps a few times before charging it's opponent like it's a toy car on a circuit.
Sseth is truly a man of culture for showing us a homm3 inspired game and bone mashing in the same video.
I love how the credits section has been getting progressively longer. Sseth used to take a few seconds to list the sponsors, now it's minutes long.
according to his patreon page he has over 9,000 patreons. Holy shit!
Popularity has kinda exploded since the Elden Ring vid tbf
someday, we'll reach a point where sseth's vids are 90% credits
and that will be a great achievement
@@riverlynch8087 I thought the original explosion was dwarf fortress times, he's been getting million+ views since
5:35 if both players wait all their units, it effectively reverses the turn order priority (based on move speed)
Started playing this back when he first made this video... got over 500 hours into it now and still loving it so much. The game keeps getting updates too
I was genuinely hoping that bone mashing would be the practice of repeatedly creating tiny fractures to build up the calcium in the bones as they heal stronger to allow you to have the mightest of headbutts, and I am devastated that it is not the case. The only salve to my heartache is the turn based rat gameplay that I deserve.
shin conditioning might be what you're looking for brother
The moment I heard of what bone mashing was, I instantly thought of Discworld's retrophrenologists. Reality shouldn't be so uncreative that it is forced to plagiarize fiction.
Fracturing the bones won't make then heal stronger though, what could make it somewhat denser it's the gradual compression force caused by muscle tension.
@@ninguemmesmo4890 Fracturing no, but constantly applying forcé (plus a few micro injurys here and there) will make the bone recalcify sturdier each time.
Thats actually the same process used in building muscle mass.

Agreed. I've encountered more amazing games that are easily some of my favorites (Starsector in particular) that Sseth alone directed me towards.
If he is a shill, he's one I respect. His legendary invasion of the Qud fandom still resounds in my memory.

Can’t believe I missed this video 😔 my dad tried to get me to play Heroes Chronicles when I was 5 because he thought that learning the mechanics of it would make me smarter or something and even though I’ve never actually learned the mechanics correctly and suck at it, I still have a ton of nostalgia for it
Never thought I would hear Sseth diss HOMM3. Wish him luck when the Guild comes after him.
Sseth must be slipping, it's unlike him to act so frivolously and diss HOMM3 seemingly with no justifiable reason. The Guild will indeed knock at his door, for the Guild doesn't forget and always collects Kappa
Erathia remembers! Spazz Maticus will not forgive this heresy!
Playing on a gigantic map in HOMM3 is a mistake, I hope Sseth will learn from his mistake.
Hey hey people! All hail our one and true overlord! 10/10 Feel free to break our game any day of the week sir Sseth!
Oh damn, it's the devs!
Based devs encouraging us to abuse the exploits
damn sseth is pumping so much good content this deserves more views
I love how almost every single steam review is just "hey hey people".
Now THIS is what a labour of love looks like!
Both the game,AND the review.
Praise to Sseth's financiers & the awesome developers.
Warm thanks to the many members of the merchant's guild, generously funding and bankrolling these videos. They are all truly wonderful.

You could tell that Sseth really loves HoMM, as he's so serious on explaining us the gameplay and how the devs screwed up the tutorial (9:10). He probably played the hell of this shit after his taruma with CoH2.
There's a reason he's reviewed most of the games.
OMG!!! You are fantastic. So much laugh in one video.
This is my favourite phrase: "At this point I am so far gone. I do not know where exploits begin and mechanics end."
I played the game and never got that deep into it except maybe the vines exploit with only ranged units :D
First video i see from you. This was epic and entertaining!!
As a brazillian i feel personaly offended, didnt expect less, well done again Sseth keep up the good work.
Eu também, só o Sseth consegue fazer meu sangue ferver e me fazer sorrir ao mesmo tempo. É como um maravilhoso relacionamento abusivo.
O fato de ofender é q vc sabe.. que esta certo... e não tem nada q vc possa fazer sobre isso.
Esse canal é cruel conosco. Por isto amamos e não dá pra fugir
... Acho que é Síndrome de Estocolmo.
Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon.

Love the review, grabbed up the game on GoG.
As a Sidenote, alot of the mechanics are a mix of HoMM and Age of Wonders, especially the options when you conquer a city to convert, pillage or set as a producing city only. the limited armies are also closer to AoM.
Age of Wonders 3 was a lot of fun. A lot of people gave it negative reviews though because they thought it was a 4x game for some reason. O_o
Just goes to show that the concept of a Heroes of Might and Magic game was lost on a lot of people.
@@planescaped well... it is a 4x game, if a combat focused one.
Splendid work on the video, brilliant game. You can really feel sseth had genuine fun with this game. It's a bit pricey especially for an early access but that's nothing a certain russian "counter-strike server forum" can't fix. And who knows if I really enjoy it and it goes on sale, I might just cough up some money for it.
Cheers sseth you videos always make my day keep up the great work dude!
i hope they don't try to balance the magic too hard. "when everything is OP then nothing is OP" is the balance philosophy for some of my favorite games
AS long as every spell has it's own niche, i'm so tired of games where 90% of the spellbook is worthless because a handful of spells are so powerful in raw killing power that bothering with utility is a waste.
I’d just balance initiative to make sure the other player gets a turn. That magic system is fun as hell to use.
@@sarabihyena Yeah, that. If some spells are so OP that they just win the fight, then there's no real reason to use anything else.
@@sarabihyena I, too, play Total War Warhammer.
Why bring niche utility spells when you can just blow up a unit with a couple of clicks? (Or multiple units in the case of burning head)
Sseth, you should look up Eador. It's a russian-made HOMM-like that's riddled with bugs and bizzare existential philosophy. Also completing a campaign takes like 500 hours of playtime. It's right up your alley.
And then New Horizons mod...
@@anovaguy without New Horizons mod it is not a full game honestly
@@hirdbarding3399 Aye, new Horizons is essential, and free so no downsides!
you guys are really committed to having me die before I finish the backlog
at this point the nearest speeding train is a welcome alternative
@@SsethTzeentach Do it, you know you can't resist the allure of sadistic russian jank.
First time watching this vid as i stumbled upon this game recommended to me in steam. I was curious how can a 20+ mins vid reached almost 2 million views.....so yeah, i subscribed n watched till the end. Worth every single secondddd
Discovered you with this vid and have been consuming your back catalog. Highly entertaining and hilarious, A+ would subscribe again
The bonemashing part was hilarious, sseth is a genius
Instructions unclear, nuts stuck in a Swivel Vise.
I already look like a chimp so I'm blessed in a way...
So I looked it up...
Wtf is wrong with people?
@@lopez.jacinto.6726 have you ever heard of the lead poisoning incident in old Europe?
We’ve devolved a lil bit
ooaoaooaoooaaaaooaaooooaaaooaaoaoaoooaooaoaaooaoaomonke
He didn't have to do my boy Ross Scott dirty like that.
His reviews actually encourage me to give the game a try, despite the genre being of no interest to me.
Yeah same
Do it. I've played many games solely on sseth's "recommendation" and have regretted a grand total of absolutely none.
A rookie's mistake.
Once i was like you, and i bought Wizardry 8. Guess how many times i launched it?
Twice.
On other hand tho, Sseth also introduced me to Impressive Games city builders, which i bought as well, but actually enjoyed playing.
But again, i liked city builders beforehand, unlike dungeon crawlers.
Sseth is the Shaman King of CZcams content. It's only been 4 minutes and I feel like I been watching an hour worth of content.
I have been convinced to give monetary support to the creator of this piece of software in order to incentivize further development of this apparent master piece
First time watching one of this live.
Now i can triangulate sseth position based on upload times.
You will be making more content....soon enough
So this is why he bought that proximity sensor...
@@johndoe5432 thanks for the data. 💀
I played this game and it’s fantastic. Highly recommend it.
I don’t believe that. Play Conquistadors. That’s a fun game. I love subjugation.
thank you for your review and such I will play this game because of you, much better than that sseth guy
expedition conquistadors? early game is so rough
Legit got me to buy this, and so far I'm loving it. Thanks!
nothing ever excites me more than a new sseth video dropping
As a slav, Homm3 runs in my veins, it’s a game I grew up with, and this game is scratching that itch, will be getting it asap, thanks sseth!
"Spells can stacked."
That sounds like it can be really broken...
*Sseth proceeds to detail the many ways it can be broken*
Called it!
Reminds me of Yugioh and lack of HOPT in the past
some people call it broken, smart people call it fun
@@thefool8224 lol true. It's just one of those statements that makes people start paying attention.
@@HazhMcMoor Not every non HOPT effect is a problem.
If everything is broken, nothing is.
Fun > balance, but it's a false dichotomy to start with.
You got literally the most patrons out of any CZcamsr that I've seen.
When the credits almost take as long as the video itself :D
Hope you're doing well, ssethy boy. Great review! Friend of mine loves heroes of might and magic and you were as entertaining as always!
_"Welders"_ (pronounced: "weld-er") fuse together pieces of metal by partially melting them with high heat.
_"Wielders"_ (pronounced: "weeld-er") are people that grasp, hold, clutch, possess, obtain or otherwise acquire something to be used for a specified purpose. In the case of this game, your Wielder has the ability to _wield_ (hence the name) the Essence (hence the name) of life generated by those under their command and convert it into magic.
i was confused as why would they name their magicians fucking "welders" thanks for clearing this out
The explains why some ppl pronounce dual wielding as dual welding. Mutants
Part of Sseth’s charm is his fucked pronunciation
I actually think he knows how it's pronounced, he just did it on purpose.
@@MrMrtvozornik Yeah he's been doing this for a while now. Especially when it comes to weeb terms like ''doujin'' and shit. He does it on purpose just to get a rise from the degenerates that suck the long shaft of Japanese popculture. So therefore we can conclude he does it on purpose with other terms. Like ffs, he studied medicine, OF COURSE he actually knows how to pronounce simple words.
Did not expect that random ross frame, had me cracking up. You fill in the gaps between game dungeons I hope you realize that.
The Holy Trinity of Sseth, Mandalore and Ross
Who is Ross?
@@luccagiovani He's a OG youtuber who's known for his early machinimas and Freemans mind where he Narrates what would be going on in Gordon Freemans head in Half life 1 and now 2. Also does Game Dungeons which are similar to Sseths content where he covers obscure pc games no one has heard of. He came before mandalore and all the rest.
Not even, sseth fills in the gaps between mandalore videos, which fill in the gaps between game dungeons.
Add Civvie11 to that list, they all reference eachother in videos. Its more than a trinity now. Sseth, Mandalore, Ross and Civvie.
I just love to rewatch this so good.
The release on may 20 of 2024, woohooo!
The fact that within 30 seconds I have a shot of Ross Scott looking confused, tells me this is gonna be good to watch.
Made me lol
Yeah, when I saw that I immediately realized we’re in for a good time tonight.
It's indescribably refreshing to see a game like this see the light of day after a week of seeing Diablo Immortals reviews.
Cherish it, because the pendulum of quality does not swing the right way often anymore.
i mean, most games have always been trash, with some golden ones here and there.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 well,that’s stupid to say,but even if you have the mental capacity of a infant locked in an oil tank and really think that,you either have the high standards of the guy that can get any girl but is living in his alcoholic mothers basement or maybe,just maybe you are the problem,anyway,the difference is an awful lot of games nowadays are made bad on purpose to sell whatever digital “goods” the game offers,and that’s something that didn’t exist back in the day,so even if the games weren’t to your high standards,they were made to satisfy and be fun to the consumers,like your mom.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 That's called Sturgeon's Law and though it's true that it always applied even at the best of times, that's not really a good description of the times.
When your captains of industry (aka, "AAA" big money publishers) are only interested in producing online casinos instead of actual games, it's time to get worried because that's how the market crashes.
And yes, it's happened before. Excess shovelware and a "devil may care" standard for quality killed Atari scarcely two years after they peaked back in 1983. It's not unthinkable to worry that it could happen again.
Lets say for the sake of argument, that the games industry makes 1000 games a year. Lets say in an average year, about 50 of those games are worth playing.
That fulfills Sturgeon's Law.
And you're still going to notice if that number dips to 30 or less.
What we're seeing today isn't just a bad year or two, but effectively an entire era where that number is closer to 10 or less. So even though both 50 out of 1000 and 10 out of 1000 reasonably fulfill the conditions for your qualitative statement, the latter is far more cause for alarm than the former.
When I can count on one bloody hand the number of AAA games even marginally worth playing in the past five years (or in just the past two years when broadening my search to stuff beyond my personal taste and just using the basic logic of "games sold as games and not online casinos") maybe it's time to stop playing these semantic word games and acknowledge that our hobby market is racing towards disaster.
@@atmosdwagon4656 I hope so.
The video game market needs a crash for its own health. Indies and small studios are the only games that don't try to fuck you anymore
Thank you for your videos
well this game looks very solind, need to try it asap, cheers man, amazing vid as always :D high elo content!
The inclusion of Ross Scott is a cry for help, as Sseth is presently locked in Ross's Game Dungeon™
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the nod to this legend
He called him a grug lmao
I love it :D
Ross is in my top 3 youtube creators, when I saw his face pop up on the screen I cackled "How you gonna do my boy dirty like that?!?" the grug comment and his face on the predator list killed me
Ross is cool.
Calling Ross Scott a "Grug" is the kind of shit I love this channel for.
Didn't expect this crossover.
@@ZX-Gear A "Rossover" if you would,but I hope you wouldn't
Sseth truly is a champion of the people. Where else would I find out about fantastic games such as this?
Every seth video i am searching for that mandalore joke, never fails to deliver it :))
