How dare you... ... be so charming! - Kom

Banana is a huge Zelda fan lol 😂.

We have a lot of fun doing these! Thank you for commenting! We love hearing about all points of view. Have a great day and don't be a stranger!

Great analysis! I like how the itemization unlocks other features that stack bonuses or things like bleed, necrosis, or cold. Thank you for commenting and have a great day!

@GamersAdvocate-Official One more thing on that after listening to the whole thing. One thing that i found annoying as hell was the upgrade system. Similar to God of War the made upgrading limited with resources which made it frustrating to dump a lot of resources into something and finding the same thing better 10 minutes later. It feels unfinished. The merging of items was great. Progression and damage split on Skill tree and exploration? Cool. Upgrading always worried its a waste? Booo. Particularly for a mage since you got 2 weapons split into 3 elements each. :/ Again, a lot of fun and refreshingly personal. Hope you do a big spoiler version later on too.

Indeed. There are attributes between the upgrade system in GoW and Veilguard and I don't know how significant the upgrades are when you do find an item that is it's equal or "better" a few minutes later, but I can say that if you look at the attributes within each item (much like in GoW) that the bonuses are different based on your play style. For example, I played significantly in a build that ignored necrosis and I would find items that did more DPS, but didn't stack a bonuses because it's bonus was necrosis. So... if I continued to use the lesser DPS item that did have bonuses that I had a build for then my damage was actually more and allowed me to play in my preference. That being said, items may get a revisit and patches will likely need to happen to either buff up or nerf down some things. It's not a live action game like Diablo... if you want a supreme meta build then that's fun too, but I think the goal was to let players play in the style they want to and not be forced to use new items or a differnt build simply because one number appears to be significantly better than your current one. Again, thank you for watching the full episode and we hope to hear from you again!

@GamersAdvocate-Official I agree. Maybe i also cane off wrong since i only shared criticism but I am immensely enjoying my time with it. It looks gorgeous, i love how it plays smoothly, with next to no time in menus and i although im not really political i applause the courage to champion inclusivity. Happy for the folks that feel seen and can play a game and feel they belong. It's unfortunate how our culture has become this cesspool though. The steam discussion is depressing. Thats it for me now, thanks for engaging and please keep going. I'm a big podcast guy and we need more grounded and personal discussions like yours. Will follow!

criticism is good. feel free to share, vent, or just tell us how beautiful banana is lol. thank you for sharing

Thank you for listening! Glad you enjoyed it, and hope to see you again. :) - Kom

Yeah, it definitely has strong similarities. At risk of sounding incredibly obvious, the more I play it, the more it feels like a very "Bioware" combat system (for good and for bad). I'm still having a good time with it. The relative shallowness helps keep the game clipping along at a nice pace. Thanks for the comment, bigsarge :) - Kom

Which mass effect?

@@memes4195 Legion here. I would say closest to 3 as Kom referenced in the video, without the squad mates falling in combat, which, should likely have been added to ensure more risk with combat.

Legion here. Sorry about that. I do try to make everything cinematic as possible, but immediate chatters do deserve validation and I do plan on either streaming or uploading a more cinematic approach either on my own channel or on this one in the future. The game has been extremely polarizing and several chatters wanted clarification about several issues. Thanks for commenting!!

Also you can't prove TMNT isn't historically accurate.

Also even in 2009 we saw terrible sides to war in Modern Warfare 2 with the infamous airport scene. I want to point out the glorification of war was a thing in game history but earlier in gaming history like with the earlier Call of Duty games.

There are definitely a lot of immersion breaking moments in TLoU. The tall grass making the character go john cena mode is becoming a standard. It doesn’t work as well in that game as there are moments where there was a ton of action and for enemies to never see you despite being less than 3 feet away is broken.

The OddMan is one of my favourites - Kom

😂

I know right just the thrashing Thane received it's treason

To be clear, Baldur's Gate, and Kom, were not harmed in the making of this video.

I love how there are a variety of opinions about these companions. It’s not uncommon for many games to develop a fan base due to its companions and npc’s, but ME seems to stand out in the outspokenness of its advocates and detractors lol. Thank you for your comment and tell us a little more about your tier list, if you don’t mind, and what pushed Ash into an “A”?

@@GamersAdvocate-Official True, the beauty of ME is that there's diferent characters for everyone's tastes. As for what pushed Ashley in A tier it was how she keeps challenging Shepard throughout the series. I'm a fan of friction between companions and protagonists when certian choices are made. The heated reunion in ME2 on Horizon felt very realistic and interesting. Also I sympathize with her backstory due to her grandfather's reputation and I fully understand why she doesn't like Turians (they're full of themselves for my tastes). The main reason I put Garrus on D is how he never challenges Shepard with any of the choices, he just polishes your boots regardless of the path you go. As for why Wrex and Tali are both in S I think they are a perfect balance of loyalty to Shepard and to their own species and how they get pissed off and challenge Shepard when he/she tries to fuck with their races. And personally they have the most endearing and compelling personalities.

Great analysis! There is definitely a lot of variety of opinions regarding the companions but you rarely find a wild variation in rankings. example: Tali is F tier. There is usually a +/- of a grade or two. Thank you again for your detailed response!

Someone stole Legion’s phone

We will discuss his discipline offline

Just wanted to clarify some things, I don't think review embargos equate to protecting yourself from review bombing. Just wanted to point out that review bombing has been co-opted by many who want to punish developers for things like representation in gaming. I tried to make it clear that I support a devs right to protect themselves from illegitimate criticism like that, not their right to deny legitimate criticism. Also Andromeda does suck, but the whole point of that section was to say something nice about a game.

Weird to compare Andromeda to WW2 but okay

@@pepthefish the idea is create a vivid mental picture. Helps convey meaning. In the business we call it “evocative” language. I’m kind of expecting people to be smart enough to realize it’s not a literal comparison. Should I be disappointed?

We're glad that you enjoyed it, thank you! There will be rankings for Mass Effect 2 and 3 coming in the next few weeks. Hope to see you again! - Kom

Thank you, Buck Beak! Stay safe!

Awesome I'll look forward to it

Don't tell anyone because it's a secret... but we're all big fans of Kiki too! - Kom

That’s pretty incredible to hear! We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing the conversations and content!

It's the insensitivity that hurts. It's like he doesn't know us at all. - Kom

No idea what you are talking about

Crazy! I’ll do research

@@dwanuga THE BEST FF episode you’ll ever see/hear

Rest in peace. In his home.

We're gonna need to play it again, as soon as possible. If it took 2 minutes, then that feels like we're slipping :) You're the best, thank you!

Strong point! Lore really can help flesh out story lines, but it can hamper story telling if not done with the respect that it deserves. Thank you for commenting!!

I didn't know until now, but I'll never hear that intro the same way again! :) - Kom

Bald is beautiful! Thanks for commenting!!

Ha! :D The lack of Jenova's theme hurts me to this day. -Kom

Thank you for commenting! That's the beautiful thing about lore... when you find it it generates a new sense of discovery that let's the player revisit a game from a fresh point of view. Have a great day!

Hi Ad Astra! We're glad you like it. That's an interesting easter egg to point out. I'd love to dive into In-Game Memorials at some point in the future. Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Congratulations on being the first to comment… ever!
