He made it family friendly but it's still age restricted.

Good job lad.

Anybody watch anything from Mandalore or has he just kind of gone away?

Isn't he spending most time on podcasts like Please Stop Talking or something like that?
Zero interest in trimming that gigantic game (to-do-review) list.
He could completely ignore AAA garbage and popular indies at this point and still get million+ views and stable flow of dosh from Patreon.
Going with obscure games should be more beneficient for human psyche compared to exposure to AAA garbage or samey indie crap, at the random cost of sanity loss when he step into stinker... for our amusement, obviously.

lol @ him describing Pathfinder 2 as "dense". Cheeky.

Most jobs eventually suck the fun out of things

Any way to break that cycle?
I see that burn out happen to virtually every guy whose stuff I enjoy.

Go on vacation, come back with fresh ideas.

I don't understand this trend in games that are menial jobs. Even space menial jobs.

House flipper, power wash sim, cooking sim. There's no real story or progress, there's just you doing small tasks over and over.

It'd be like mining in Eve: Online, only that's the game. That's all you do, and that's its own reward.

It's like people don't have real jobs, but something in them still wants to work, so they play these games instead.

The sci fi elements and paperthin story might be enough to hold me, but I'll probably wait for a sale to try it.

then serve to turn the brain off and relax. Alot of those at least on my experience also makes you want to sleep.

House Flipper just made me want to refund the game.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

Should buy better games and improve your tastes then, you can see the "asset flip" scam from miles with that and other related games.

 

[Caim]

Menail job sims like Factorio is you being an engineer and miner, but because of the immediate return of investment when doing something like building defenses, setting up new mines or building a processing plant means you are constantly having a high. It's like being powerwashed by dopamine.

Factorio is not a "menial job sim" since it allows a lot of creative freeway all around. Factorio and such are more like construction set games

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Yeah, Factorio and other autism sims aren't really what I'm talking about. You're designing a system, you're not going into a mine and clicking rocks over and over.

Factorio also intersperses some good ole shooting immigrants space bugs amongst all of the autism.

 

[Tyrr]

In Factorio you start doing everything yourself, but the main goal of the game is to automatize everything. So you could say it's the opposite of these 'working sims'.

I also want to say that the last Sseth video is completely unfunny and boring

I also want to say that the last Sseth video is completely unfunny and boring

i watched his Dark Messiah review after this one, just to compare.
It was painfully obvious that this one is probably ordered by devs to boost sales or something similar, while Dark messiah was review he wanted to do.

 

[Fargus]

I also want to say that the last Sseth video is completely unfunny and boring

I used to watch his "reviews" (more like shitposts) when he covered classic games such as HoMM series, Arcanum, Stalker, Deus Ex, making fun of various exploits and aspects of these games we all love. Nowadays he "reviews" too much obscure trash and games i dont give a shit about. Warthunder... World of Tanks, some legit faggot rpg called Bastard Bonds.

I mean wtf is this shit even?


His only video i watched and somewhat enjoyed in the last 2 years was the one about first Age of Wonders.

He's not writing his stuff anymore. Give it a few years and he'll probably just use AI and not even reading the script himself.

Prompt: Write a review for Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar in the style of SsethTzeentach

Greetings, my fellow gamers, and welcome to my review of Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar, a game that has been in development for over 20 years. Now, let me tell you, this game is a wild ride.

First of all, let's talk about the graphics. They're retro, and I mean old school. The game looks like it was made in the '90s, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The pixel art is charming and has a certain appeal to it, but if you're looking for cutting-edge graphics, then you're in the wrong place.

The sound design is decent, but nothing too special. The music is catchy and fits the game's atmosphere, and the sound effects get the job done. However, there's no voice acting, so you'll have to read all the dialogue yourself.

Now, let's get to the gameplay. Grimoire is a classic RPG, and it has everything you would expect from one. There's character customization, turn-based combat, a vast world to explore, and a story to uncover. However, the game's interface is a mess. It's clunky and not very user-friendly, and it's evident that this game was designed for hardcore RPG fans.

Speaking of hardcore, this game is tough as nails. The difficulty is punishing, and there's no hand-holding here. If you're looking for a challenge, then Grimoire will deliver. However, if you're not used to this kind of game, then you'll probably rage-quit after a few hours.

Overall, Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar is a flawed gem. It's not perfect, but it has a certain charm that makes it worth playing. If you're a fan of classic RPGs and don't mind a steep learning curve, then you'll probably enjoy this game. However, if you're looking for a modern, streamlined experience, then you should probably look elsewhere.

Sseth's job is safe, somehow GPT manages to be even more lame than his last reviews.
But it could get a gig at Kotaku or RPS, for sure.

Chat GPT is designed to churn out material that is the complete opposite of Sseth in every way, it would be impossible to recreate his kind of humour with an AI made in Current Year + n. The closest you can get is the guy that now edits and apparently (he claimed on his own channel) writes his reviews for him, problem is they're unfunny as hell as he seems to just lean in to whatever current memes he finds that week on reddit.

 

[catfood]

He reviews whatever gay ass zoomer game is popular among his retarded pay piggies. I'm surprised he even does stuff like that AoW review anymore.
