Hey apologies if you took it that way, the highlight I was aiming for is the exploitation of a native people and the environment being the big bad the game keeps reiterating. Money isn’t an issue but the glukkons conduct is, I don’t think I was especially leftist in this but the games themselves do have you freeing workers, stopping slavery, demolishing an economy, siding with natives etc so apologies if lingered too much on anything the game put out as I was just retelling the story as it happened, I hope you still got some enjoyment from the vid

Hey apologies if you took them that way, I wasn’t trying to imply anything anti capitalistic at all, the highlight I was aiming for is the exploitation of a native people and the environment being the big bad the game keeps reiterating.

@@SmoothBrainGaming Hey, thanks for responding! I appreciate the clarification. I tend to value personal freedom and respect for property, so I can be a bit cautious when topics like exploitation or economic collapse come up-they can sometimes feel tied to ideologies I don’t fully agree with. That said, I see now that you weren’t trying to push any specific agenda, and I appreciate that. The video was really well-made, and I enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to your next one!

Thank you! Glad we could square it up! And I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I want to keep as politically unbiast as possible on the channel I think there’s a place to talk about the politics of different games and the themes they bring up but it’s just not fun for anyone to watch if it seems I’m pandering right or left unfairly and pushing an agenda through the games someone else made. I hope to cover a variety of games that naturally lean in both directions of the spectrum so thanks for bringing it up!

I was on 90 subs on Friday, I’m hoping it keeps up, thanks for watching!

@@SmoothBrainGaming Thanks for making a great video! I'm 32 and Abes Odyssey was the only game that would run on the family PC. I look forward to more videos. This was was in on my front page so it will be for others too!

Thank you!

Thanks for keeping the Library sorted! I hope you enjoyed!

My only complaint was I wished there was more of it, I had a lot of fun and you’re right the narration is top notch!

@SmoothBrainGaming Absolutely agree. I completed everything, including all the DLC, and everything worth playing in the Steam Workshop. Occasionally, I boot it up to play a skirmish or something, but I am pretty much done with it. I'd like a sequel, or for another developer to pick up the gauntlet.

For sure!

You're welcome hope you enjoy!

Thank you! I tended to focus on the stories anyway in those older videos, but after playing around a bit I'll be doing more like this; should be Faith out next and then the Sly Cooper Series schedule permitting

I didn't realise until the comments that SoulStorm was a new story, at some point in the future I plan to but the next month's already planned out for now

@@SmoothBrainGaming Thank you for all the content. Cant wait to see SoulStorm in the future too. Exciting times ahead. :)

Thank you for watching!

I felt exactly the same, I'd played Oddysee before but probably didn't get past the first few screens as a kid, had never touched the rest besides Stranger's Wrath and my god are the first two oppressively hard. A lot of old games were don't get me wrong but I can see why a lot of people never got to the end, and the ones who did have a love for the game like an old friend or rival.

Thank you!

Thank you for the Kind words! I was on 90 subs on Friday so I think we're heading in the right direction! Enjoy

Psychonauts slaps so hard, I back all your points there

Ahh thank you!

​@@SmoothBrainGaming yeah, no worries. I figure with all the effort you put in here, that if you didn't already know it'd be some neat info

Glad you enjoyed!

Yes just replied i think, and I really like from softwares stuff there’s a sekiro vid on this channel, I remember watching Vaati’s videos on repeat

​@SmoothBrainGaming what about there approach to storytelling because I've seen people exspesly the ones who don't like these games say there is no story what do you think

I think the story is there but you do have to dig for it in a lot of cases, you could quite easily miss a lot if you're not actively trying to find it. They do keep the main plot there though I grew up with those games though and like them all so I'm a bit Bias

Thank you! Always the hardest thing to decide on the vids

Thank you so much!

Older games did slap a bit harder for sure

Abhor the mutant!

They remade oddysee and make a reimagining of exodus called soul storm! No munch or stranger type games though

You’re a saint!

Thank you! It seems to have been grabbed by the algo I feel like lulu currently!

Yeah I’d like to keep the politics away from the channel it just felt like something to raise as it’s a change from the older games and in this case I’d say that while it seemed out of place when I first started the game by the time you’re in the thick of it they make good use of the different characters and obviously put a lot of thought into their designs instead of just trying to tick boxes. It’s a very positive example of representation and a lot of games can learn some lessons from it so I thought I’d address it before someone did in a non constructive way in the comments you know

He’s a good lil Gabbit

Thank you! I watched some of their older stuff a while ago

​@SmoothBrainGaming what do you think of it and what about there newer stuff?

I remember liking them but this was like 6 years ago, I’ll look at their new stuff as I’d forgot about them, what’s your opinion?

I to do like there old stuff look see and mordeo are classic in my book. As for the newer stuff while for the most part not as good as the older stuff I still overall like it like there a video called meat cleaver and it was really funny you should check it out. Ps what did you think when you did see their newer stuff

Id agree with you there, I’ll take a look and let you know :)

Your comment just taught me they’re all on mobile too omg

Back in the days where I used to leave the console on rather than lose my place hahaha

@SmoothBrainGaming yeah think the farthest i got was past the factory in the door place in the trees. Always wanted to keep going but I didn't know what I was supposed to do lmao

That is a very fun fact, I did wonder if they had any relation to the fleeches we see in the next game but never looked into it

I would eat one of those up, they had an interesting catalogue of games that never got made. I'm hoping with soul storm out now we get something Stranger soon

Hope you enjoy!

The first two were heavy seething rage and frustration for me, so glad I got to record Stranger last

@SmoothBrainGaming munchs oddysee was my first game or even knowing about the world. It hit hard and still does... like I was the character in the game when playing

It's like my brain went to mist and I was in there

That game did slap to be fair

@SmoothBrainGaming most emotional one. Stranger was best gameplay. There should be another game about a human world he was making but didn't

Just covering the old line of games here before the remake of odyssey and soulstorm that came after it

Hope you enjoy!!

Thank you fellow fan! Hope you enjoyed!

It comes up as frequently as you can imagine, never stopped being unsettling as the monster can one bang you

It’s blessed me with an audience glad you enjoyed!

Thank you glad you enjoyed it!

Hope you enjoy!!!

No -thank you!!!

I don’t blame you I would’ve been so upset

Halo 3 did have the monopoly on my childhood for sure

Enjoy!

Wow! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

I think munch’s shows that the most, I loved strangers though but there’s some heavy nostalgia goggles on for me
