I'm glad you liked it :)

Agreed what a great video. Hopefully gets some traction now!

I does make me happy that it is reaching people that will enjoy it. At the end of the day that's who they're made for, not me. Thank you both very much for watching, I really do appreciate it. It would be nice if a few more saw it, although I'm not sure if there's a demand for it. Maybe, just maybe - one can hope.

I remember it vividly, it was like 2 in the morning for me. Mild heart attack ensued

I agree, BF1 is easily trading places for the best battlefield game. I was playing it not too long ago. It seems that they have announced a new one, or at least teasing it. I will wait and see until after it has released to judge it. I really didn't enjoy 2042 and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm glad you enjoyed this video, thank you for watching :)

Wasnt it originally meant to be a dlc? The script i wrote was quite old.

In all honesty I was sure most people would recognise their symbolism. I did get to reference a poem though. I probably did talk about it in an earlier revision of the script.

Thank you so much :)

@rogoo Thank you soo much!!!!!! :))) 🥰🤗👋👋

Can't say I've ever played Mirage, Valhalla really did put me off any new AC games. That's just me though, it's all a matter of opinion anyway. You probably would like Valhalla if you liked Mirage. You should go for it if youre willing to and form your own opinion. Enjoy finishing Mirage :)

That might be the case. First impressions are incredibly important however. I was thinking of giving it another go since the reloaded release, but never got around to it as I cannot be bothered going through the story again. Idk I just didn't find it all that interesting.

Battlefield 0.5 should be next, set throughout the Napoleonic Wars

Thank you very much.

Same with me pretty much. Any game played with friends is made instantly fun, it doesn't matter how good the game actually is.

Thank you for watching :) I appreciate the Dredge recommendation. I just looked and it turns out I have dredge in my backlog, been told a lot of good things about it. May bump it up a few in the list.

Been there done that. I can't remember the last game I bought at full price, Doom Eternal I think. I like my games cheaper and with post launch bugs fixed.

I really do enjoy the original Dying Light

You're rather brave for saying this on a public forum. I'm not the person to really comment on souls games as they're really not my thing. Saying that I have played like 70 hours of Elden Ring and I think it's pretty decent as far as things go. I'm awful at it. I do ask though, since your opinion is not exactly common, what elements of it made it bland and unrewarding? Thank you for watching :)

@rogoo tbh i would say that there are very few things that i didn't hate about elden ring , first of all and the one that is most common was how repetitive the game felt , the side content and exploration were very copy pasted through out the entire game , side mission were very unclear and felt stupid to deal with , they aren't that clear in other souls likes but the fact that elden ring is open world makes it nearly impossible to figure out what to do in them without a guide , i did 2 by my own and felt exhausted and annoyed , side characters felt very pointless and had no impact in the game , main characters as well such as malina or whatever her name was , her death or "sacrifice" did not have any impact towards me as a player unlike some games like red dead of god of war , i also hated the bosses and enemies in general , the design itself in stunning don't get me wrong , but the way the game takes its difficulty when ut comes to combat is very artificial, instead of making the difficulty based on unique attack patterns that you need to understand and find a good strategy against, the whole game focuses on enemies dealing way too much damage and taking too little damage along side with delayed attacks and area attacks that were way too common, and imo ruined most the boss fights in the game , they felt annoying rather than challenging , and that sense of relief and achievement after beating a hard boss was nit present simply because the bosses felt like chores , it was feeling like finishing to clean the dishes instead of doing something impressive , this problem was not present at all in sekiro for exemple , each boss was unique and offered a completely different challenge, even ishhin that has 2 versions of him , both were completely different despite being literally the same person , this was not a thing in elden ring , exploration also felt boring since the traversal itself was horrible, torrent was the worst horse i've even had the displeasure to ride in a game , the leveling system was broken and the balance was non existent, instead of needing to get better all you need to do is grind runes for 4 hours and comeback overpowered, leveling up is either not enough or way too much , it's like you level up 10 level and you're still too weak , and 12 levels makes you one shot the boss you were stuck at , which is artificial difficulty and game length, forcing to play more rather than making you want to play more , the only few bosses that were well designed felt amazing , malinia for exemple, she was perfect and i loved that fight to the point where it made forget how garbage her area was , she was the perfect mix between fast and slow , predictable and unpredictable, powerful and balanced , she was amazing , but 99% of the rest of the bosses were way too bad especially compared to her , base game radahn was amazing and my 2nd favortie boss in the game , dlc radahn was horrible since he wasn't hard but very unfair, with attacks hitting you where they shouldn't, too much damage dealt , too little damage taken , too many area attacks , it took me a little less than 30 tries to beat and i hated him , while ishhin took me 37 tries , almost 6 hours in total , yet i felt extremely engaged , and every try i was feeling like i learned something new , avoided a mistake , found about a new strategy, radahn was just killing in 2 hits no matter what and most of the time it wasn't even my fault , many people would say that this is just a skill issue , but trust it is not , because if was i would ha e hated all souls games , i even beat radahn in less that 10% of the tries a lot of people took to beat him , the problem wasn't how much i needed to try , it was that i was forced to retry and hope this time the game doesn't force me to die , the only things that i liked in elden ring were the visuals , they were cinematic and beautiful, but everything else was absolutely terrible including the world due to how empty and repetitive it was , overall i would give ut 2/10 for good graphics and character design

That's just the way it happens I guess. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to follow it up with a 50 minute deep dive months later.... I'm glad you're sticking around though, thank you.

That's exactly how I felt, I do plan on replaying it this summer when I have some free time, also an SSD so I don't have to watch spaghetti westerns in between loading

I understand the criticisms the game receives in going for realism so much that it can come off as clunky. At some points during the game I probably felt the same way, luckily in my case it didn't bother me too much.

Fallout new Vegas can easily be beaten the same day you’ve started the game.

I know it was mentioned in the video, but I find it hard to justify that longer games are better better value. I guess it's all a matter of opinion. Like for me, there's no world where AC: Valhalla is better value compared to Blade Runner (1997) even if they were the same price. There's another factor to consider, Fun. If that super long game was 100 hours of agony, is that value? Is that linear narrative game that tops out at 4 hours but is thrilling the entire way not good value? Obviously these are extreme examples to make my point sound better and its a very subjective topic to begin with. I do understand where the value=time spent argument comes from though, I just don't think of it that way. Thank you for watching the video and sharing your opinion :)

Not always , when the length is engaging and fun then yes , but if it 100 hours long but if the story is badly paced and half the game is collecting random items then no

In a good or bad way?

@rogoo in a bad. you deserve a lot more

Thank you :) Maybe someday it will change. That would be interesting

Cyberpunk is one of my favourite games ever made, then again I was a fan during its release because I loved the story. I might dying light 2 another chance one day. It's not light I hated it, it just didn't feel like a successor to the first for me.

I don't think it was horrible, just a step down from what it could have been.

@ nah, I was so hyped after dying light one. I paid full price on release day only to play as a wimpy Aidan who had no military background, always tapped about Mia, and plus, you couldn’t kick enemies as easily.

Fair enough

Valid

So U have no patience to the point where U can't appreciate a masterpiece

I understand where you're coming from. Most popular games maybe it applies to, not so sure about smaller scale more focussed titles though or ones without microtransactions.

You could just press 'not interested'. 👍

I didn't dislike it per se, I got fatigued. The main story is utterly brilliant, and from the side missions I did I found it great. At some point I started to get a bit bored with it, and that led to me rushing through it. The insanely long loading times on a HDD didn't help either. I do get peoples criticism of the game and its pacing, but 6 years on I can guarantee I wouldn't have an issue with it.

The difference is I actually really liked RDR2, I just got fatigued during it and sped through it as opposed to just coming back to it another day. Valhalla on the other hand may well be my least favourite game I've ever played, and I don't think I could ever give it another chance. Incessantly boring and mundane, a full time job under the guise of a game.

Thanks for the kind words

I've played it a fair bit. The SBMM is a bit tedious at times and they seem to be taking many missteps at the moment regarding zombies and the whole great AI replacement. Other than that I think the zombies is the strongest it has been in a while, and I will be there for the easter egg on the 28th.

Thank you

@@rogoo Based comment, good video.

I agree wholeheartedly, that's why I'm such a fan of linear narrative games with super strong stories.

@ Yes! Exactly. Multiplayer games can be fun but they end up feeling like a waste of time to me and I hate that feeling tbh. Each to their own. In reality at the end of the day gaming is mostly a time waster and it just depends on how you spend it. But I prefer single player story rich experiences. Also I just suck at multiplayer games so there’s that too lol

I guess it's a matter of opinion really. Most of my friends like it but I absolutely couldn't stomach any of it. Only way to truly know if you'll like it is to try it.

@ true that! I’ll get around to it at some point but it’s not at the top of my list fs. Even other AC titles are higher on the list

@@micshazam842 interesting thank you for your input I appreciate it
