This critique seems to confuse "good guys" with "main characters" (made evident when the comparison to Breaking Bad seems to think the DEA characters are who the audience should identify with). Juliana Crane and the Resistance are the good guys, but Juliana is not the main character of the show. Smith is.

I hope this show was just about the Nazi vs. Japanese political drama. Would've been better. It was entertaining and watchable but only because I wanted to know what happened to the conflict. I really liked that they used all the historical characters and all the Nazi inside power struggle was pretty authentic, I mean that's how it was under Hitler, everyone struggled with each other for power. Hell, if it was just about the Japanese point of view with Kido as main character, it would've been a lot better. The whole man in the high castle and Juliana was just boring and pointless. I mean, the shows name is the same as uninteresting side character, wtf?

i didn't want to subscribe but "look at me now ma" did it. subscribed. now, get big son.

The original author of this was Philip K Dick, although the TV series is only loosely based on his work. He’s also the author of total recall. He was an interesting man to say the least. In his later years, he claimed the man in the high Castle wasn’t fiction at all, but rather a memory of a world he’d actually lived in. Something changed for the better, and suddenly he was on this timeline. His life was Science Fiction, but for real.

Instead of nazis they couldhave made the soviets win cold wat

I from Poland and I should hate everything with Axis but this show Maby is not like a book Philipa K Dicka... Hell! Definitly is not. But IMO alter world create by PKD is very nice for me and I will be defend this fact. Fact like this: Poland was sold in Yalta by Roosvelt and Churchil to Stalin. Pogodzićcie się że wyszliście na zdjacow a nie wybawicieli Europy.

gud vid. Leaned too hard to fixtf2 at the start and not enough on Quickplay itself but regardless I'm glad to see Quickplay being talked about more and more. Hope the likes of yourself, Gabber and Zesty Jesus keep talking about it. (The latter having a big video on the topic coming soon). The damage Meet Your Match did to tf2 is far too great for me to recount in this comment but now that people can play casual without bots, they are seeing just how flawed casual is on its own, with or without the bots.

I think all four seasons could have been condensed in 4 Episodes. Nothing happens 90% of the time. Endless plots going nowhere.

I don't remember where I saw it on some other social media, but one thread I saw from, I think, Star Trek fandom that the Man in the High Castle universe was one of the universes that became the "Mirror Universe" in Star Trek TOS. You know, the one where Spock had a goatee, lol!

This is what Donald Trump wanted maybe he watch it 😅

😂The opening of this video

Payload Race was the only gamemode I played for my first year of playing TF2 once or twice a month so I'm incredibly nostalgic for Nightfall and Pipeline.

I watched the series all the way to the end. And unlike many people, I think the resistance was a good idea in paper. But its portrayal was so bad... I cant imagine a world where America wouldnt be a living hell for the occupiers. Juliana as a character had basically no development. But John Smith was great. I believe the show failed so poorly because its central plot driving element were the Films, which were explained in the most stupid way possible.

The ending really doesn’t even do a good job concluding anything. John is dead, but the American Reich still holds the majority of power in their region and the German Reich is, to our knowledge, perfectly fine. The western states will likely become a communist hellhole if left to their own devices, the buffer zone is still a barren and lawless sandbox. America loses in all 3 parts while the actual Nazis are untouched. There’s no “good guys beat the bad guys” story, it’s just “good guys kill 1 of many bad guys” followed by random people walking into a secret portal rather casually. At the very least you’d think these people would be a little concerned about the giant swastika, dead bodies, and the armed resistance members standing in front of them. If they couldn’t conclude the conflict properly, they should’ve just left it at John and the younger German general splitting the Reich and had the audience wonder about the future, leaving it open for any potential proper conclusion, if at all possible, or at least having a more impactful cliffhanger ending than just “America is fucked”.

Game modes not unfixable. Make a better balanced map and put the objective towards the center of the map

Started good, then deviated from book. Woke crap at end. Crappy ending. So disappointed

From what I've heard it starts out great but then falls flat but worse than Game Of Thrones

good review.

the first 2 seasons were good

So I just learned about this show and did some Google searching about it. Sebastian Roché, the French actor who portrays Reichskanzler Martin Heusmann, looks eerily similar to German right-wing national socialitst party AfD leader Björn Höcke. So much so, in fact, that for a moment there, I genuinely thought they hired a German neo Nazi to portray a fictional character in the same position that Adolf Hitler once held. As a German, I'd like to say that the only TV material depicting the Third Reich that's worth watching is the movie "Der Untergang" with Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler. It details the final days of the Nazi German empire, based on historical evidence and the accounts of Adolf Hitler's secretary Gertraud Junge. There's hardly any fictional elements inside the movie.

Even when you could get games on this map in the age of quickplay (2012-2016) it didn't really have a great reputation in the community. Mostly for the reasons you cited in the video. It's not a very good map, which is a shame because yeah Valve really tried with all of the update lore tied into it.

I watched the whole entire show because I like history…episode after episode I kept saying to myself “what?”…I don’t even get the point of the show…

This show's world building is delusional and fulfillment for people who have fetish for Nazi uniforms and asethics. It doesn't understand the terror of living under Nazi rule nor adequately depict its subsequent brutality in sincere realism given the gravity of the topic. It's cringey as all hell.

Doomsday should be put in the CTF pool

06:20 is more proof how much damage Meet Your Match and Casual has caused lol

Making the administrator say "Poopie Joe" is a stupid idea. Her character only works as a straightman, she can't be saying stupid names or making cringe jokes like "taken too soon"

Could have been so much bette, Rufus Sewell carried the show

The fact that both teams are trying to supply fuel is kind of weird to me I'd have one team try to fuel up the rocket and launch it, and the other team trying to prevent the launch That way, it's kind of like a mix between capture the flag and attack/defend

Special delivery was my favorite mode in 2015 when the queue screen has different layout

Special Delivery didn't fail, it was killed. Back in the days of quickplay, I played the crap out of special delivery and could always find servers running it. Shoving it into the "Other Gamemodes" section of Casual was a death knell for its popularity.

loved the show.

Completely forgot about this game mode

the only reason why it failed is casual mode before that it was actually QUITE thriving, but the death of community servers just uttlery gutted its relevancy

Unrelated, but left handed viewmodels is cursed

historiography and preservation aren't about maintaining a piece at its peak. they are in fact about acknowledging the exact opposite and trying to inform future generations about how media degrades. this exact thing happens with books and in fact, all media, as art is inherently a social and cultural experience. books are steeped in context, and this context fades as time passes. historiography and preservation are about preserving as much context and as much recursive content as possible to allow later generations to learn and experience a lens of the past. why should we disregard this? games are no different, live service games aren't even the most extreme example of this issue in historiography. plays and spoken are suffer from this far more especially pre-recording yet we still strive to preserve them, to save their context. I see no reason to disregard protecting history because some people think it's hard. It's always hard to preserve history. but it's something we have to do for the betterment of our society. these games need to be left in a state in which they can be recorded and added to the forest of all knowledge. much of history is lost by this exact mentality.

True be fair, Far Cry is carried on the backs of the villains

"SFM is hard" Lol no it's not It's torturous

the worst part about carnival of carnage is some arseholes will frame perfectly toss a rain of fire spell (dunno what its called) wiping out the vast majority of your team before you can even see the enemy upon being teleported AND to add insult to injury even if you are dead and are in the class selection menu it will manually respawn you leading to that single enemy getting a ton of unearned kills and dominations

I have a nostalgic soft spot for this game mode since Pyromania was my first major update I experienced (joined in late 2011-early 2012). Maybe I’ll make a map for this game mode one day.

Player Destruction just ended up being a better version of the same premise.

If people think this is obscure, wait until they hear about rd_asteroid

Great video, well animated sfms. Very well researched and the flow was consistent.

Valve cooked way too hard in this - No round timer - Hightower elevator - Neutral ctf briefcase To make this gamemode whole, they should have themed the map around ctf_turbine

bro did not actually cite the costa concordia incident 💀

You're a kool crustacean 🦀 🎮

Its 2 maps using the same layout and 1 has a too many different gimmicks

Now this is epic gamer content!

Great video boss

I feel like pass time is sort of an attempt to fix this mode.

I wish there was interesting ways to make special delivery map fun Also nice video
