Only he can pull that off.
Although I've seen other channels trying that format rather unsuccessfully.

PS1 and PS2 (and maybe Xbox too?) had plenty action RPGs with bird-view camera... and yet Obsidian manged to mess it up. Especially controls - both kb+m and gamepad was bad.

I remember playing on highest difficulty and getting stuck at some moments. Dat female djinn(rhanja or whatever) boss in the church, mechanical golem in the sewers (thieves hideout?) and fucking random skeleton (from DLC) in the desert replenishing his health almost instantly for some reasons...

I remember posting it here, huh

trivia: the audio track in the opening cinematic, when all the arrows are shot, is the same one they used in Braveheart in the first big war when they fling all the arrows at the Scots.

Guy seems ok, calls out SJW and other bullshit but seems sincere (yet) and not too retarded.

Considering the video you embedded has him failing to understand why most game videos are no longer in the old gaming magazine product review format, I am not so sure about that.

Just came across this
Where is Next Gen Gameplay? (21:44 mins)

Braindead consoomer take. Talks about how great it is that graphics are improving so much, then explains the lack of gameplay innovation with "Games are so expensive to make! People keep buying the old and formulaic!" Doesn't connect the dots that improving graphics are the problem. If graphics had stopped improving 25 years ago, we wouldn't have all these normie faggots in the hobby buying garbage products just because they look new and shiny. Developers would have to innovate their gameplay in order to sell games.

I don't even understand what he means by graphics improving. Great majority of studios completely abandoned realistic graphics and adopted the safe and sanitized cartoony style of Blizzard games. Even stylized graphics doesn't go any further than Borderlands or Telltale games.

If anything, the graphics show the stagnation (or even regression) even better.

Yeah, guy's a brainlet.

Because Mario and Pokemon are both known for being graphic whore games while they outsell almost everything else by a wide margin.

I see you're retarded and looking for a beating. As everyone except you knows, Nintendo is very much its own ecosystem. Nintendo exclusives, few and far between as they are, don't compete with anything else. They are free money from Millennial soyjaks and will always sell well unless they're catastrophically awful.

In the broader gaming market, presentation (and in particular graphical quality) is what sells games. It's the only thing AAA developers really care about, and it's where they spend most of their development money. This has been true for well over a decade and it's why those games are consistently uninteresting and samey.

Now get into the retard chamber.

In my opinion all the good gaming channels are dudes who are really into one particular game and stream it to a small audience, dropping all sorts of weird mechanical knowledge about it.

I currently watch dudes doing stuff on roller coaster tycoon 2, yu gi oh duelist of the roses, and monster rancher 2

Nintendo is THE Normie market. You can't discuss normie tastes without normiecore of Nintendo being a cradle to grave train.

Graphics whore games don't usually do well though. Suicide Squad is a graphics whore game, Saints row reboot wasn't graphically ugly and many other cases just don't sell well. If you think graphics sell games any more you're about 10 maybe even 20 years out of date. Since the PS4 graphical gains have been so minor it's irrelevant. All the big sellers this year have been mediocre graphics wise, the big fad games normies latch onto through twitch like Helldivers and Pal world aren't the visual razors edge. They're stock unreal engine.

Knight had better graphics and aesthetic. Amazing to see even capeshit get so downgraded, not even fast food trash media is safe from incompetence. The decline is getting worse and worse, and even normies are noticing now.

The biggest sellers are actually "low-fidelity" games like Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Valheim, Balatro, Undertale and so on
