Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

[NecroLord]

I find the way Tim shills for The Outer Worlds to be highly annoying.

 

[Yoomazir]

Eight playthroughs? WTF is wrong with him.

One playthrough is already torture, he's gotta be a masochist to do 8.

Not even Todd could play Oblivion multiple times. Tim is something else.

I discuss the details of eight different character builds with which I finished the Outer Worlds. As a bonus, I include a list of purchase requests I received during the development of that game.

"Snuggler" was a self insert. Tim the Smooth Criminal

I find the way Tim shills for The Outer Worlds to be highly annoying.

1. He worked on it, what's he meant to do? Especially with a potential sequel, which he's consulting on IIRC
2. He's a jobby jabber, a peter poofter, an arse bandit, a faggot, so to speak. He'll be optimistic/willing to give anything a try and react positively to it, regardless of it's state.

Does Todd even play video games?
Especially the ones he's worked on?

He's said in interviews that he plays modded Skyrim. Even he won't defend the vanilla UI.

why boomers hate leadership positions? they prefer to let everything rot before taking responsibility

Why couldn't he just keep the Morrowind UI is beyond me...
You could arrange those interfaces yourself the way you saw fit.

Morrowind's interface was really bad and the xbox was the lead platform.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

It's cool that he plays his own game and tries different builds, TOW has many problems but lack of build variety isn't one.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about the limits of what questions I can answer, due to my very specific experiences within game development and my limited knowledge outside of it.

 

[0sacred]

Don't put yourself down Tim, I'm sure your French is perfectly satisfactory. You can't speak the language though.

 

[Tyranicon]

Somebody needs to make a flipbook of Cain's thumbnails. He does a spot on impression of youtubers.

Beyond fighting, sneaking, and talking



Most devs can't even support much more than fighting and Tim over here thinks they can do more.

 

[rojay]

Tim is developing a break-dancing game, where as you level up you get more and better moves. You heard it here first. Boogaloo 2

Beyond fighting, sneaking, and talking

Clickbaity title, it's about non combat skills having some bearing on combat

 

[Tihskael]

In one of his YT vids he was talking about how insanely hard it was to get people to do things at Obsidian while making TOW because everyone acted like babies (him writing people's names next to assignments on a whiteboard was seen as hostile or something, and people threatened to leave when he made a daily goal list), so from that I assume that he was doing a lot of effective organising and directing with Fallout.

Which video was that?

I think it was this one:

Lessons by company



At Peagsus/Cybrone he learned that no one will give you things unless you ask and that not everyone gets treated fairly.

At Interplay he learned the value of cohesive teams and that success has many fathers but failure is an orphan.

At Troika he learned he wasn't a good businessman and that companies should exist to make money.

At Carbine he learned that people aren't fungible and that money isn't worth stress.

At Obsidian he learned not to see things in black and white, that Feargus was far better at handling publishers than he was, and that there are a lot of people who refuse to take responsibility for when things go wrong and are quick to throw others under the bus instead.

At the end he notes a lesson for publishers: his two highest scoring games, Fallout and Pillars of Eternity, were the only ones with no publisher interference of any sort. Codex seething about that last one.

 

[0sacred]

Tim low key bragging that he didn't network at Troika and "shake hands" but just wanted to make games.

 

[Colonel Mutt]

I got bored of his channel, too much attention seeking.

He posts too often.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about Fallout's effect on me and my career.

 

[S.torch]

At Troika he learned he wasn't a good businessman and that companies should exist to make money.

None of the Troika games were financial failures though? All of these games are cult classics.
