      I think for me it might be FF Type 0 HD. The intro cinematic for the game is so damn good and then it just never gets anywhere close to that. For some reason I've given it 6 attempts (last one being a month ago) and the farthest I've gotten in 20 hours in

      Isn't the worst game ever, but I recently got "dead or school " based on a youtuber suggestion. The controls feel so clunky and bad that I immediately regretted getting it and unsubcribed from that channel.(I had just sunscribed that day.) Maybe that's a little harsh, but it was just not fun and I felt I couldn't trust him.

    My brother is an artist at Double Fine. Those fortnight game pitch & vote things are done by the upper management during the space of time between projects. The constraints mean that the games have two weeks to be done, with the different staff members sometimes working outside of their specialty zone. He told me that it is a cool, creative process, and when i saw him over christmas break, he was talking about his pitch for the latest fortnight project. The games have to be started and finished in the two week period, so you throw any QA and bugtesting out the window. I didn't know they sold the games, I assumed they did it for a change of pace, and that was it!

    Say what you want about the gameplay about Their Land, but props to the developer (or if he bought them props to the creator) of those face animations in the interview portion. It sometimes look like it's just facial capture, but there's moments that point to it being hand animated and it looks so good (aside from those little parts that feel off, but for a single person it's quite impressive).
    Hopefully he (or whoever created them) keeps at it since those micromovements are very on point to feeling like an actual human rather than some of the robotic animations we see today (Starfield at points) where the eye's are constantly moving, little headshakes and so on.

    I feel like part of the charm of Steam is the super indie trash you can find on it. It really feels like almost anyone can make a game and slap it on there, and they'll be right there with all the AAA titles coming out. The nature of Steam of course means that there are a lot of garbage games to wade through, but you can also find the odd hidden gem in the pile.

    An idea you might like: taking broken games still being sold on Steam or GOG, analyzing how broken they are, then applying fixes provided by the community and how well the game runs after, and if the game is worth playing when fixed.
    Yeah I came up with this because it happened to me. I recently purchased Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator because it sounded interesting, but it was unplayable. I was able to find a fix in a forum post and now the game runs great.

    I totally fell for Godus. Black & White was a huge part of my childhood and I just thought if Molyneux made something half as good it would be good enough for me. Turns out what we actually got was just a FarmVille clone without the multiplayer (you know, the thing that made it addictive).
    Edit: Oh, hey, I got Towns too. Guess I just have terrible taste. I actually enjoyed Towns though, it was incredibly janky but there was potential there, and it never pretended to be more than it was.

    A bit late to the party, but seeing Sacred 3 in this, I can’t help but comment. Sacred (the original) / Sacred Gold + Underworld DLC were my childhood. I spent HOURS being addicted to that game, replaying it, discovering the different characters and their skills & weapons, exploring the open world.. My dad was the first one to play it and got my sister and I into it too, so it’s such a treasured memory.
    I actually never played Sacred 2 (my dad & sister did, I think), because I loved the first one so much, I played it on every computer I owned until it was too old to work.
    Yes, the graphics are incredibly old now and it surely has its flaws.
    But my god, was it made with absolute love & passion. The story was interesting, there were so many hidden jokes (like reading the inscriptions on gravestones) and such a huge variety of worlds and monsters. I can still picture it. Of course, some nostalgia plays into this opinion, but I truly believe it was a fantastic game.
    Going forward in time, I got an Xbox One for Christmas. My sister & I found Sacred 3 in a bargain bin or something, thinking ohhh good thing they’re still so underrated, we got a good deal on a great game.
    No.
    No no no.
    What absolute fucking trash.
    As you mentioned, the dialogue is cringy and try-hard funny, the world isn’t open and it’s just a mess of levels that somehow all feel the same.
    No sense of exploring, no love & passion. The characters are boring, the story is boring.
    I’ve never been this disappointed in a game & I’m so sad to see what has become of the series.
    Never would’ve thought to see it anywhere in a video, but I’m glad you gave it the trash it deserves. Sacred 2 hopefully was a beacon of light, because the series deserves so much better. Especially the first one. A true forgotten treasure.

    I was surprised to see Sacred 3 making it into this video, however instead of sacred 2 i would instead recommend the first game (sacred gold, and the underworld dlc). was a childhood favorite and i still sometimes play it just because it's so well crafted and there's so much to do in the world. plus it's a bit smaller than sacred 2 which i feel was just a bit too bloated to make it the bigger better sequel. it's a shame what happened to the series as even if it's lesser known it used to be quality stuff

It intrigues me how your style of editing in this video morphed to be more aligned with a "top 10 list" video (More sound effects, clips, text animations, etc.) I'm curious if this was some experimentation for audience capture, or artistic liberty to better fit the structure and subject material?

    36:29 Personally I'll play a "coomer" game if the game itself is actually *good*. For instance a friend jokingly gave me one such game called Last Evil. It had a card battle-like system. I initially hated card battle systems, but somehow that game made me appreciate them a bit more. The "coomer" part was fine if one was into that sort of thing (The player character is a succubus. Whether you win a battle or lose, she ends up pretty "happy" I guess. I don't think I need to say much else lol) but I played it multiple times over purely to try out new builds. It opened me up to playing other card battle games like Slay the Spire and so on.
    Thing is...95% of "coomer" games are terrible. It's extremely rare to find one that's actually good. They bank off of the "coomer" part more than actually creating a fun game, which is really too bad and gives those games the extreme negative stereotype they currently have. I'm legit curious how well a truly high quality "coomer" game would do. One that was a GAME first and nsfw a close second.

    13:52 One thing you didn’t mention about SBDF9 was that it was one of the first early access/back us and we will finish it games on Steam. I know this because I was one of the people that got involved at that time and backed 2 games, this being one of them. It was like being let into alpha testing with a promise of getting the full game once it came out. These days this is common, but back then it was a novelty and attracted a lot of people to games that got abandoned and never got finished. A lot of the negative reviews are people that backed this early and feel they got ripped off. Today we know that early access is a big risk and you may come away with nothing, but back then people had much more trust in developers. When I backed it, I didn’t even consider a possibility that it would never be finished

      It was made even worse because it was Double Fine, the company behind Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, and Brutal Legend. They were considered a trustworthy developer who stuck by their games even when they didn't succeed. It was disillusioning to watch them abandon it to cut their losses.

    its interesting how similar Godus' concept sounds to Black and White, which is my personal favorite game of all time. It was my entire childhood- But then at the same time, Godus is entirely different. I always dreamed of a modern re-master of Black & White (I lked the sequel but 1 will always have a special place in my heart). Godus obviously is not that but the whole "you need belief to progress" is very much how Black & White operated

What they said this game was going to turn into vs what it wound up being made it obvious that they just pulled the plug really early in the development that was promised. Then DF went on to crowd source a bunch of other stuff and definitely didn't get my money.

    I was obsessed with Godus as a kid. I was young enough to dismiss every flaw as a skill issue on my part or technical failure on Apple's part. Also, the reveal that they also made The Trail-another favorite of mine-literally made my jaw drop. FYI: "the trail" also pushes in-app purchases very aggressively. I guess 22cans is just really good at making stylized games that look and sound really cool, but can't (or won't) do much beyond that.

    Hey there, I really appreciate you trying something new as a break in the cycle. I REALLY enjoyed you doing the doc you always wanted to, but understand the limitations with projects like that. Personally I don't really like videos like this one, though I understand why you made it. I see these types as a dumpster dive for content and not necessarily why I've subscribed to you as a whole. (I should stress that that a really negative thing to say, but its not meant to be a critique of you as a creator, just the '10 *bleh*' genre that has been milked on this platform to death.) I thoroughly enjoyed the Godus portion as I've played it on my phone without knowing it was a Molyneux project and totally understand and feel your critique of it. Knowing the backstory now it completely makes sense. Hope you have a great day, can't wait for the next one.

    Sure, sometimes you buy a burger and you can already tell just by the smell of it that the beef has been left out on the counter for way, way to long, but a lot of times it takes a good few hours before you get your first stomach cramps and episodes of projectile vomiting.
