I can't imagine how hard it would've been to face homelessness at such a young age, and coming out to acknowledge it in public. Mad respect.
Yeah I’m with this comment 100%
Amen. Same thing happened to me around the same age. It’s traumatic shit.
@@TheMagicDrPancakezSame, shit was hectic. Glad it happened tho otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today
100% on the comment. There is a homeless woman who frequently pushes a shopping cart near where I live here in Germany. I try to always invite her to sit down with me at a cafe and just listen and talk with her whenever I have free time on the weekend. Homeless does not mean not human and humans need connection.

From homeless to running your own business through this great channel, 300k subscribers, having a home and a kid, all that stuff. That's awesome man.
I've never played Fable 3, but let me tell you whatever that chicken story was you showed as you explained the game, had me at the edge of my seat. That moment the chicken was flying with the doves was priceless. Poor guy.
i was rooting for that chicken that whole sequence 😢
Hey bro God bless you, I have been homeless a lot in my life starting at the same age as you. I have struggled with addiction as well in my life but now I'm living in a little house with my family and in school to try and become a minister. I'll be 33 this year so it took me awhile to start taking care of myself but I'm extremely grateful for my life and can take joy in the smallest of things because I know what it is to have nothing and no one almost. Made my day to hear you talk about that and I got hella respect for you brother.
Congratulations on your current positive path man. You’ve got this!
Best wishes.
Keep it up
I was homeless when I was 19-21. Thankfully i never actually had to sleep on the street, but i did constantly have to try and find someone to stay with. Did a lot of couch surfing for a while. Sometimes id get to stay with a friend for a few weeks, sometimes i was living out of a backpack and staying somewhere different every night for days on end.
Now im 29, rent a house with my fiance, have a job as a therapist for children, and am working on my masters degree when I never thought id even graduate high school.
I’m sitting here typing this from my living room, chilling in my recliner while my fiance is in hers next to me, and we are both just chilling and playing video games. Ive never been more stable and financially secure in my entire life, including when I was growing up and living with my parents or various family members. Ive been living in my own place longer than ive ever lived anywhere in my entire life which is kinda crazy to think about - that ive done a better job caring for myself than anyone ever did for me growing up.
But being so low for so long will eventually give you the drive you need to help yourself.
Now my fiancé and I are in talks about fostering and adopting. We both grew up in rough homes, and now we feel like we should do our part by helping a kid who is already in this cruel world who needs a home and a loving family, rather than bringing a new life into the world.
My favorite part of Fable 3 was the way your main weapon evolved based on how you use it. If you kill enough skeletons the handle becomes bones, if you kill enough werewolves the blade turns black, if you kill enough humans it gains a bloody aura. It was a cool thematic addition that no other game has ever done and I doubt any other game ever will because it was a very minor mechanic that, despite being really cool and well thought out, was completely superfluous.
That feature sounds great at first but most of the time you just get stuck with an ugly weapon that you wouldn't have picked if you had the choice. It would have been much more player friendly to unlock weapon parts you could choose to use.
I really like this video. It’s a reminder that at the end of the day, one of the most important things about a video game isn’t whether it was objectively good or bad, but how it made us feel.
It's one of the reasons I love Mort's reviews. He doesn't tell you a game is good or bad. He explains what he does and doesn't like. Nothing is ever a definitive "My opinion is correct and you should follow it". After all even games that most people dislike will still hit for someone, somewhere.
My daughter is 10 now and she regularly still plays Biomutant. The first game she has 100%.
I’m 30 and I love the game, back from work, turn my brain off, my type of game
@@marathon01I just redownloaded Biomutant solely because I needed that kind of game to play right now. Comfort food games I call them, you know what to expect and you don’t need to put much effort in.
I actually really enjoyed Fable 3 when it came out 😅
It was cool. I think their PR did more damage than good to it.
I liked it more than 2 TBH. I just hope the new one gets good, the whole serie is charming. But I wouldn't mind more RPG in my RPG game. I mean, I can play as a "evil" character but I still follow the good hero questline. Soo in the end, I'm still a good guy who costplay as a bad guy.
Nothing wrong with that it’s a decent game
I really enjoyed it, so long as you engaged in the benevolent landlord metagame it was fine.
I copejoyed it, played multiple times, because I had no ability to play Fable 2, with Fable TLC being the favorite game of my childhood
Hey man Im sure the you between 15 and 17 would be EXTREMELY proud of where you are today ❤
U make me feel like i can do something with my life and enjoy myself, i was homeless at around 17 when i was dropped from school and kicked out of my house and barely getting by, people like u help me remember theres hope for us all
I remember the desert in Fable 3 being like something out of a completely different game. From the moment you are there, going through it in shadows, to the moment you leave, everything felt fantastic. If Fable 3 had been THAT, I would have loved it. But it was just a single part, where everything before it and after it was just blah. But that one part... damn, that was some great stuff.
I have a strange one for this topic, Enter the Matrix. Overall the game is not good but the best part was the hand to hand combat yet every enemy you fought died in less than 3 hits so it didn't matter how cool the system was if you never got to actually use it. Cue the vampire level about halfway through the game which had invincible enemies until you staked them with a piece of wood. This actually allowed the combat to last long enough for it to actually be really fun. I would often replay the game just to get to that level and quit after it was done.
I recall attempting to fight agents as long as I could even though they couldnt be defeated like invincible npcs lol
I did the same thing lol. Fought the invincible agents just to enjoy the combat
Yeah... As a father of two awesome kids i can fully agree that playing games with them and them getting into games will really create special memories in games that I normally would never play or get excited for! I never would have touched Terraria normally since im not huge into building games like minecraft, but him and I have put in over a hundred hours playing together! We have a few games like that! Very special memories!
This video highlights the reason I keep coming back to your content. I love that look for both the good and the bad of every game you play no matter what the overall industry is saying about a game. Fun enough these are all games I plan on playing/own or have played because they have some aspect that calls to me.
I had Biomutant on Steam, I suppose that from some bundle, and after seeing your review I decided to try and it turns out that I just like it, I dont think the game is good because it is basically not finished but the world and its exploration is very enjoyable and everything is kind of charming and cute and that makes the many failures and problems that it have more bearable. I think if another team with more experience would have helped them make the game could have been a top sales easily.
I love these videos, every work always has some bright spots.
What kind of projects are you working on besides the youtube channel right now? Any side projects?
Appreciate the peek into some of the hardships you have overcome and powered into such great success. Well done!
Fable 3 had Simon Pegg, Michael Fassbender, Stephen Fry and Ben Kingsley in. Quite star studded for a game
God bless you mate, Glad you could overcome this situation when you were younger. The US can be a pretty harsh place for people who are facing this situation of being homeless - albeit that can be said of pretty much anywhere - Here in Brazil It's the same and the numbers are growing, specially in big cities like Rio or São Paulo, São Paulo is one of the biggest cities in the World with 12 Million people living there and 22/24 If you count The Metropolitan area, so It's a juggernaut, a beast of a city, just imagine the size of the issue there, been there many times and It's a huge problem and there's also the crack problem as well, there's a place just like skid row there.
It's been a very long time since I played Fable III, but I remember it being a very interesting game regardless of its heavy flaws. I guess that goes for most of Peter Molyneaux games really. His infectious and somewhat infamous energy seems to permeate through most of his projects. Even when they're a mess, they're interesting.
As a Best Part of a Least Favorite Game,
one that comes to my mind is the Lisbon earthquake sequence in Assassin's Creed Rogue.
I had just played AC Black Flag and loved it, so I picked up Rogue as it promised to basically give me more of the same.
Unfortunately I discovered that the change in protagonist and the shift from beautiful tropical Caribbean world to icy oceans and northern environment made a huge difference for my appreciation of the gameplay, and led to VERY quick onset of fatigue... And most likely the game was actually not very good.
But the Lisbon earthquake sequence, when you run and parkour your way throgh collapsing buildings and rooftops?
That one was almost worth the pain of playing the rest of the game, at least up to that point in the story:
I recommend at least watching a video of it on youtube. But playing it "blind" while controlling the character is way better.
Thanks for your videos!
If you didn't play I absolutely recommend Uncharted 3; is my favorite Uncharted game because it has many sections like the earthquake from AC Rogue.
@@LionMob
I did play it, and I agree, there are similar sections to the one I mentioned in my comment.
Good action game, very spectacular.
Sometimes the stealth sections are a bit unfair at highest difficulty though, in my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'd like a Mortim lore video. You seem like an interesting and strong person by what you've told in your videos!
Nice video, Mortym. Have a happy Easter, my friend!
Love your thoughtful content!! When I acquire more money, (who knows how long that’ll be knowing me) I def want to support your great work❤
your my favorite reviewer, i really admire you!
Catching up on your videos. Love how you review games and even if you don’t like something in a game you still can focus on the great things. I looked on your videos and couldn’t find anything but have you tried CROSSTAILS?
cant say I have
@@MortismalGaming Thanks so much for the reply. I saw it on sale in the PS store and it’s a Cats vs Dogs story that plays like FF Tactics. You were the first reviewer I thought of who would have reviewed it. Thanks again and appreciate all the hard work.
Thanks for making great videos with great commentary!
this was a nice video. I hope you have a nice holiday with your family and congratulations about your son!
Glad you are doing well now dude. Thanks for sharing. I had you as older based on your voice, now I just feel even older than I am 😂 keep up the great work 👍
Biomutant is such an odd gem of a game. I know it certainly needed more time to cook, but there are so many novel concepts. I loved the idea of basically kit-bashing your weapons from things you find as you explore. And I appreciate the attempts the developers made to weave in an RPG system.
There was a game, a long time ago, that I remember playing called Gangsters 2: Vendetta. I wanted Empire of Sin to give me the feeling that Gangsters 2 gave me back in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, it didn't come to be that way
This is an interesting take on a list of top 5 of ...
I enjoyed it :)
love this channel. best reviewer by a light year!
Getting close to 300K, my man!
Mad respect to you boss! Keep up the good work
Hi Mortym! Your Biomutant story about playing with your son is very wholesome. I enjoy stories like this. Have a blessed day!
I get not liking Fable 3, but saying Fable 2 is as bad is wild 2 me! Fable 2 has been one of my all-time favorites for years
Yeah Fable 2 and 3 we're great. I love all three games, but for me the first Fable is the biggest slog. Still great though.
Whatever I think of Fable3, that chicken intro is hilarious, thanks for reminding me.
Not sure if you covered these games but a few suggestions.
Grand Arms: March of the Red Dragon - not out yet but seems interesting.
Omerta - City of Gangsters - This is another turned based mafia type game,
Fallout Tactics. It is turned based as well. I think you played Fallout 1 and 2. IF you have not played this best to get it on GOG.
Thanks for the video. The customization in XCOM 2. The more you can customize a character, the more you're invested, so the perma-death hits even harder. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
I know you said you should have saved Forspoken for last, but there's something poetic about starting the video with how you were homeless as a teen, then ending it with referencing how you have a loving relationship with your own son.
Never expected to hear about such a personal thing in this video, but it’s really inspiring to see what you’ve achieved despite that adversity. Was a shame to see how many people criticised Frey’s character and her attitude, when largely that was because people couldn’t relate to her and what she’d been through.
For my own answer, in recent memory: Atlas Fallen was a bloody awful game with very unreliable and clunky combat, but the build variety and sheer amount of abilities and passives felt incredibly ambitious. Would have loved for the combat to actually make it fun to create those builds.
The beginning of forespoken was super promising. It really feels sometimes these games are better as a streamlined movie experience, but they get padded for gametime.
Not a rpg but the part in RE6 where you escape the laboratory as Sherry & Jake was a blast
Tbh i liked the whole game RE6 as well, might be an unpopular opinion tbh
Same man I did like it a lot. I played it with my buddy we did all campaigns and kept rising the difficulty every time we finished one @vivekkparashar6369
All I remember from that episode was her outfit😏
Hey Mort, hope you're well this morning, I'm also 31, grew up in some similar circumstances, glad life has taken a better turn for you. Now, you implied you're able to play Fable 2 on PC, but I was under the impression it was only available on the Xbox 360. Can you expand on that at all? I've been searching for the past decade for a way to play F2 while lacking a physical 360. Any help would be met with love. Blessed Be.
You can also play on xbox one or series with retrocompatibility
You can stream it to PC via stuff like gamepass as of a year or two ago, but yeah it only ever released on console
Great video! And I'm not just saying that because I was one of the people who requested it 😂
I plugged away at Redfall for longer than a should have but i agree the art style, where it was complete, was cool. You could see little bits of decent environmental storytelling and some devs obviously put love into at least that bit.
For Fable 1 and 2 they are both on Gamepass. I've never tried finding them on PC tbh but Xbox definitely has them as part of the backwards compatibility. It may be the case that the PC versions don't work, i don't know, but if people are looking for them its a place they can try.
Happy birthday dude.
Me and my three year old daughter just played mariokart together. It is the first time I see her really trying to learn how to play. I know how you feel :)
I don't know why I thought you were older than me, your gaming sensibilities tends to skew to someone I think should be 5+ years older than me, but hey you're my age! I don't know not at all important just interesting to find out. I can't relate much to the homelessness. but I'm happy to see you found your way out of it and found something you're passionate about as a career.
fable 3 was the first game I ever completely beat and one of the only games I owned on my Xbox at the time so I have a very biased perspective on fable 3 but one day I hope to go back and play the other two
Some things you can only imagine and some things you can only understand if you have experienced them yourself. I don't need to say more. It makes me sentimental and proud.
Damn mort, cemented in as a favorite again. I've been unhoused as well!
New video idea: a video about how you approach 100%ing games. Similar but different video could be about how a "lets play" of a specific game with a voice over commentary where you discuss your approach.
Loving your content.
Follow up: a video about how you approach reviews, what you look for, how you assess, etc.
He has already done that.
I am obviously simplifying it, but first you check the achievements. For example if a game doesnt have hard difficulty achievements, there is no point in playing in hard difficulty. Do note that Mortym usually likes a challenge, so he might do that on a game he enjoys. Then he has multiple saves during his playtime, 100-300 saves, depending on the game.
For example lets check Scars Above. Search for reviews from Sites, CZcamsrs, Streamers. Just make an effort, before reading the rest of my post. Almost everyone lists Scars Above as a very hard, Souls-like game. There are even Journalists/Streamers who cry about the difficulty online.
On the Dark Souls subjects, Not that Dark Souls games are hard, just require a different mindset than going yolo, if its your first time playing this sort of game.
The reality is that Scars Above has no difficulty achievements, and you can change the difficulty ingame. Perhaps that will teach you to read many reviews, because a lot of them just dont do a good job.
The first half of Fable 3 is good albeit kinda slow and feels like it needed more polishing but the other half of the game when you reach the desert and the big bad is shown felt like an entire new game and it literally hyped me up to play the rest and let me tell you I was already bored out of my mind before that. The ending was... so lackluster and the development to it also felt unpolished, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they rushed it for release. Also the combat was so cool then and the weapon evolved too but in my opinion they shot themselves in the foot with making Co-op mandatory for certain content, back then if I had played the game I wouldn't have had anybody to play with so I would've felt like I was being mocked and left out for not having friends.
intro music sounds just like music from Dark Elf Village from Lineage 2
Counter point on fable 3 . Working hard to overcome the normally limited budget and do good in the world is kinda a good message. Don't take the easy way out fable 3. I enjoyed it.
Completely agree about fable the forst 1 was absolutely awesome. Lets hope this remake is a call to lionsgate orignal neiw of the game
So next would it be standout parts in great games ? If that is case i would vote for vampire the masequerade bloodlines the hotel sections
I don't like much about Final Fantasy VII Remake, but the character models are great. The original only had a few polygons for each character, so each design centered around one or two features to set it apart. Aerith's design centered on the juxtaposition of her dress and her work boots, the Turks were just suits, etc. Remake kept the designs very streamlined instead of adding a bunch of accessories that would have made it feel more like SE's PS2 art.
Even some of the minor things they added to the models feel right. Like Barret has a mercurial personality so the original made one of his arms a gun. Remake had to do more than stick a couple polygons together in order for the design to make sense, so they added a mesh sleeve for a smoother transition to the rest of his arm (as opposed to adding a bunch of scarred flesh or something). It makes more sense because the weapon arm is as much a part of him as his regular arm.
Now you should do "Five of the best parts of the worst parts of the best parts of my least favorite oatmeals"
Once I hit my 10 year 'this is now a cooking channel' phase I'll keep it in mind
@MortismalGaming heck yeah man, I'll be pulling for the 'peaches' part of 'peaches and cream', cheers buddy 😊
Fable 3 dog was the best part for me!
Good show sir
Not sure why but I expected to see Golum in here 😂
“People don’t really look at you so much as a human being as much as a problem to solved” made me stop the video and just sit a second. Thanks for that.
3:16
Okay who here now wants to play a game where you're a team of vampire hunters who go in, and find out that the problem is actually werewolves instead, and now you have to adapt your tactics and gear to this whole new problem. Same idea as most survival type games, you have to start from the bottom, but since you already have training and supplies, you wind up explaining why you're so good at fighting these things.
Fable 2 was pretty solid, especially the combat, but I share the feelings about 3.
I'll have to give Forspoken a fair shake, I was homeless in my late teens / early twenties and it sucked even when just sofa surfing. Living on the streets was way tougher.
Frey had several models of Kicks while being homeless, I found that quite funny. Maybe she stole them.
Good for you Mort, that you survived being homeless, can't imagine sleeping outside and never know where I sleep tomorrow.
In fabke 3 I liked it rewarded for focusing on economy early. Yeah most of the choices at the end didnt matter but thats because of choice i made focusing on money.
I ddin't expect to cry watching one of your videos hahahahaha
Looking at that Redfall clip I'm thinking at least it doesn't have auto health regen. Damn but I hate auto health regen.
7 seconds ago?! Lucky timing!
It’s always at 7am EST 😝
I didn't DISLIKE the game but I guess i wasn't a huge fan of Arkham Origins, but my favorite part of that game was fighting Deathstroke. The entire set-up of fighting all the assassins sent to kill you on Christmas was pretty cool, but that particular boss fight was definitely a standout
I think more than few people rage quit game at this boss, I know I almost did :P . Sure, if you know what to do, it's a very intensive boss fight. But it comes way too early in the game, when players is underleveled and very likely not yet fully grasping inns and outs of combat. Plus it does very poor job at explaining to player, visusaly and otherwise, what he needs to do. And lack of checkpoints beetween phases only adds salt to the wounds :P .
Arkham Orgins can be fun sometimes, omg, list of minor and major issues with this game is loooong.
I'd say Shadow of War, loved the Nemesis system, i think it's how level scaling should be made, but the game overall had nothing else to offer
You are an impressive human being my friend
Damn, thank you so much!
It just goes to show even our least favorite games have a glimmer of fun at the end of a dark tunnel! DS1 is one of my least favorite games but when I beat the half human half spider boss I will admit I kind of had fun
I still like fable 3 and loved fables 2, the real charm of fable 3 is weapon collecting
Biomutant would have been a lot better if they’d just abandoned the bizarre idea to have every conversation through the narrator. I assume it was a budget thing and it was a shame they tried to do so many cool things and failed the most important part.
Yeah, that and the fact basically every mechanic feels underdeveloped. Felt like early access and not a finished product.
Lords of Shadow 2's intro had the right amount of epic and cheese, and after that it's all downhill lol
They really could've done so much more with Forspoken, even with the MC, they could've kept the essence of her personality and with better writing it would be depicted as annoying rather than actually annoying.
What's the game in the intro?
"forspoken should be whole game about being homeless" - Mort 2024.
The Fable games are all on Game Pass.
Are you going to take a look at Sand Land? One of the last games that Akira Toriyama worked on.
No current plans, but maybe
I loved fable 3, probably cuse it was my first. The side quests were fun but fable 2 is a better game all around.
As a kid I liked fable 3 but now obviously I only see missed opportunities in that game.
Fable 3, also known as the landlord simulator.
People can say what they want, but i thoroughly enjoyed Forspoken, and fable 3. it's no fable 2, but it was good.
Redfall single player instead of live service mts would have been awesome
When are you going to cover the Witcher 3?!? You are being like Happy Console Gamer! 😂
Summer time probably
I think that fable 2 is still worth playing. It kinda gets outshined by fable 3 because of how bad that game is. though fable 2 is not necessarily as good as the first game i still feel like its a fun game.
Gronk!
👌
What happened to the chicken!?!
One of my least favourite games to memory is "Resident Evil Revelations 2" owing to it's repetitive levels and enemies, how it seemed to overstay it's welcome, how you retread the same areas too much, and most of all how you have to switch between a combat character and a puzzle solving utility character constantly. But my favourite part of the game is the Moira DLC that solves a lot of the problems actually. It doesn't feel half as long as the main campaign, you get TWO combat capable characters that you can swap weapons between, so no more tedious second character as they're both capable of holding their own. You can have a shotgunner and sniper.
I have similar feelings towards Biomutant. I love 50% of the game and hate 50% of the game. The game is the definition of feature bloat, leaving every single feature incomplete as a result.
RE Revelations 2 is mostly a co-op game. If you go solo & not understand that concept, you are just asking for trouble.
The Problem is that people dont really do research, they see a trailer, or trust their favorite streamer/CZcamsr. Then the problem is if those streamers/CZcamsrs are variety gamers, they only look at the surface level of a game. Thats how you end up with situations like No Man Sky or Cyberpunk.
At least the devs of No Man Sky/Cyberpunk fixed their games (to avoid the lawsuits).
@@GeoGyf RE Revelations 2 is a singleplayer with the option of co-op just like 5 and 6. And guess what? 5 was actually a blast even solo regardless of difficulty while 6 was atleast fun to playthrough atleast once. Revelations 2 was a boring mindless slog with way too much revisiting of the same areas since you need to go through each level with both pairs.
And if you sucker someone else to play the game for you, prepare to fight over who will be stuck with flashlight/pointing duty.
@@G1ingy Yes i have played them with friend, this is why i am saying that. They are far better games as a co-op. RE5 or RE6 as well. I especially enjoyed the Ada & the Umbrella Agent segment.
And is actually very fun having to rely on the other person & shit-talking whenever stuff goes wrong. You should really try them. I played with an experienced person, but probably you can play with everyone if you lower the difficulty.
Relying on the AI instead of a real person, just means you either need to play on the lower difficulties or abuse the game's mechanics (example have Sheeva or w/e as a mule for certain things).
Playing with AI is so much less interactive.
I really liked Revelation 2 Episode 1, for me the craziest thing was the online mode; really fun to play, so much content and for free because the first episode was free on PS4 (maybe still is idk)
The games where you play (or at least start) as homeless or very poor are so rare that I remember a reviewer mocking Frey for living in a big empty apartment, as if they didn't understand the concept of squatting.
A shame the character looked insufferable from what I've seen of the game, not exactly the best way to fight stereotypes.
Plus she acts like a spoiled brat throughout the rest of the game
Fable 3 had an interesting concept but in execution you can just grind your way out of it... They didn't really COMMIT to having to do bad choices no matter what... A shame
