Good gaming channels on Youtube?

[Halfling Rodeo]

Codex's favorite lullaby channel has posted another one.

He conveniently dances around the subject of why this seems like a year stacked with outstanding games - continued practice of score inflation. He touches on community Metacritic ratings due to how prominent 0s and 10s are, but that's just people having a naive notion of "fighting" the critics' ratings, and those are the real issue. Let's be honest and just say most of those highly vaunted titles like new Zelda or Spider-Man are just 7.5 rehashed sequels at best. Novelty of the last game, whatever it may have been, cannot apply to the sequel as well. There can never be genuinely meaningful scores as long as people treat AVERAGE as some kind of dirty word.

I'm playing TOTK and it doesn't feel like a rehash. It has a lot of new content and the way you interact with the world is very different to the original. Adding Garry's mod to BOTW really did change the way the game functions. It feels like it's own thing and builds off of BOTW in a way I would compare to the gravity gun added to Half-life. You're still shooting things/climbing things/whatever but being able to Garry's mod solutions or make new weapons on the fly is revolutionary for the gameplay. On the surface it's BOTW 2, but a couple of hours in (the tutorial sucks and takes too long) and you realize nothing you're doing feels like BOTW if you're engaging with the new systems.

Another weird walkthrough I'm assuming.

Has MrEdders been posted yet? He makes really solid videos that are also great to fall asleep to.

NO MrEdders123, YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! You were supposed to make retro rpg reviews under one hour long, not a 2+ hour long snorefest! What happened?

From one Robin Hood To another:

Robin Hood is a gorgeous game but sadly way too easy, even when I was a kid I could beat it on the highest difficulties. I didn't like Chicago tbh. It felt too poorly made, I guess.

The mobile game is canon and it's introducing wide lore changes, ranging from Drakengard 1 to Automata.

I've only played Robin Hood on Normal and I thought the difficulty was okay. EDIT: my memory is bad. Little John is a bit overpowered, using him makes some missions easy. Other than that the difficulty is fine.

Chicago however... was too easy. They failed the balance vs realism. Chicago 1930 is realistic to the detriment of gameplay, it's faster to just draw a gun than to reload, which means you could steamroll a mission with just one dude carrying 6 guns (because if you carried one gun and 5 ammo you would be opening up for retaliation). (Compare this to FallOut where realoading takes less AP than accessing your inventory).

Turin us a great RTS commentator. Does some nice live streams where he commentates on others player. Highly recommend.


Cuddly Q'bert. Don't you want a cuddle!?


This guy's evolution of series are pretty fun. Do not check out Tobal, only pain can come from what happened there.

Anyone see Conan the Barbarian (2011)? The Big Bad mask that they have in it literally looks like The Sleeper mask from Gothic 1...

Emil did nothing wrong

"Starfield is not bad, it is just mediocre"
"Starfield writer is misunderstood"
Let me guess, the next video will be "Starfield is not as bad as you think it is"

Why the fuck did this guy decide that this is the hill he wants to die on? Seems like another case of a decent YouTuber losing the plot.

It is fine to have these opinions, but this level of obsessing is just baffling compared to his previous output.

Emil did nothing wrong

I have not watched the whole video but the guy strikes me as a certified retard. Emil is a free human being working at a privately owned company. Not a caged animal at some university or a science experiment. There is no reason why there would be a abundance of documentation about his design philosophy or work ethic. People latching onto the few scraps of what gets out is not a dunk, especially when Emil's output very much matches their "uncharitable" interpretations of him. Its not a argument but a mental standard born from the "source please" meme that reddit retards spawned.

In essence its like like insisting that the fire fighters cannot send a truck until at least 10 people report a fire is burning. He is not making a argument he is coping. Emil has been disliked many many years before 2016, Oblivion was the very start of that but back in 2006 nobody could pin a face and a name to all the fuckery. Emil simply over the years provided his name and face for the thing people already disliked and some shitty reddit posts or hack youtubers poorly(or not autistically enough?) formulating those exact sentiments changes nothing about that.

Spoiler

BTW I absolutely adore that the second top comment under the video is already dismissing his shit points.

​

"While I agree that the idea that there is NO documention is ludicrous (at the very least they have to put together a pitch and the initial design ideas), I think there is plenty of evidence that Bethesda is awful at keeping what they do have (internal wiki or otherwise) updated. There are SO many lore inconsistencies in their recent games that the only other answer is just laziness on the part of the writers when it comes to checking their own documentation, which I find hard to believe. It just goes beyond a lack of communication."

Not watching a 2 hour Bethesda defense video, but what is the issue here exactly? That the lead writer getting flak for Starfield?

 

[Alienman]

This is rich.



I have marked the part in the video. If it does not work, go to 2:13:42.

Basically: IT'S JUST A GAME BRO. And that is coming from a guy making a career out of making long-form videos on Youtube, criticizing bad games. What kind of drugs is he on?
