Jedi Survivor: A Love Letter to Star Wars

The Callisto Protocol: Hollow Survival Horror

Hi, I'm Obsessing Again! In this video I analyse The Callisto Protocol and why I think the game didn't quite hit the mark. For it's jaw-dropping visuals, and strong cast of actors, overall, it fails at being a scary game. The game relies too heavily on dated tropes, which is a shame, given it's interesting wider narrative. #thecallistoprotocol #playstation #joshduhamel #deadspace2023 #johncarpe...

Hi, I'm Obsessing Again! The Last of Us video game is masterful creation, which got an adaptation for TV in 2023.

Death Stranding: What is this game really about?
underrated video, i really like the straight-forward style
Your comment means a lot! I hope it brought some value to your day :) There will be 5 episodes coming out bi-weekly, so make sure to check it out!
The Last of Us' heavy themes are a bit much for me but you did a great job highlighting why the storytelling, animations and moments work so effectively and how much consideration was put into it. I could feel that this was your favorite game. Nicely done bud. Best wishes with Episode 2 ✌
Hello! This is such a wonderful comment to receive. I've wanted to tackle this game since I started my channel, but I wanted to make sure I could do it justice. I glanced over your channel and I can see you do gaming content. I'll have to check it out! Thank you again :)
This was a lovely retrospective on one of few games that made me happy to have a PlayStation 4. It really hit me in a special place and I felt the appreciation you also had for this title. I haven't revisited it since its initial release but I think I'd also like to highlight this game in a video in the future. Cheers for shining a light on it! I'm happy to have found your channel!
Thank you so much for this comment. This is purely a passion project, so being able to interact with likeminded people who care, feels me with joy. Thank you again! Please consider subscribing :)
@@ObsessingAgain Already subbed bud! Keep doing what you're doing, you've got plenty more to come
Alien isolation is one of my fav game of all time, I still have the disc version of it and might make a series of it. Great video btw
Long time no hear brother! It’s a great game, really surprised it hasn’t had a remaster, but who knows 👀
@@ObsessingAgain indeed brother, well it's one of those games where it's too good to have a remaster, maybe another one but different story. Funny enough I was talking about that exact same subject while recording it.
Let's also not forget how amazing the soundtrack was
@@frootloop7135 it’s so underrated. The main theme, being chased, it’s great.
Fantastic video on an absolute classic👏
@@calebeppy2108 thank you kindly :)
good video
@@ShonaPakhii thank you so much! Please consider subscribing :D
Hey, only now stumbled upon this video, and wanted to say that it's pretty great! Especially liked the writing, as it felt very eloquent, altho could have used with a little bit less of "this" and "that" when talking about and describing one or another video game. Had to turn on subs cause got confused when you were talking about Callisto Protocol. With Alien: Isolation in particular, we like to refer to it as simply "Isolation" as it is clear what is being referred to (and on a personal note, I also really like saying "The Game" when talking about it, in reference to how the Weyland Yutani corporation is addressed in its setting - "The Company", which highlights just how large its influence and how dominant it is in the world of Alien). I also highly appreciate how you describe Isolation as being a simulator of the first movie, which I find incredibly resonating with my experiences with The Game and how I view it, altho the way I put it is overly detailed and specific like: "a simulation of the experiences of the crew of the Nostromo in the first film, from all the mundane, routine and boring, to frustrating, stressful and terrific of it". If there is one thing I'd criticize in your video, it'd be the lack of any pauses, downtime or anything that sorta signifies a transition between the aspects of the game you're discussing. And I don't meant that you're simply talking too fast, that's not the problem at all. It really can feel like a rant or rambling, and not in a good, Zero Punctuation kind of way, where things don't flow flow one into another, but mesh together instead. It just made it a bit harder to follow the video, nothing too drastic.
Joe Louie??? You mean Joe LOUIS????
Knockout Kings was a boxing game on Nintendo 64 Ali was on the cover, look it up
I love this video
@@calebeppy2108 thanks so much!
The Epilouge was so emotional for me. It felt like the perfect bow on the series. Fantastic video.
The epilogue came as such a surprise. If Uncharted ends at 4, it left on a high. But I think there’s room for Cassie, who knows 👀 Thanks for the comment!
The commentary at 09:57 resonated with me. The portrayal of his internal battle between conforming to societal expectations and staying true to himself represents a universal struggle. This tension between external pressures and personal authenticity is something many people grapple with, making Nathan’s experience resonate on a broader level.
@@Lateefverse It’s something that never gets acknowledged in games. I suppose our heroes are trapped in the narrative of their adventure, so it’s rare we get a behind scenes into the personal lives. Thanks for the comment, I’ll make sure to check your recent upload out!
I played FIFA all the way back in FIFA 14 (i think?) In the PS2 and then stoped because i didn't really care about Football or anything. Years later, in the PS4 i see on ps plus free games FIFA 22, i play it i like it. Next year, see FIFA 23 is out, buy it, dont like it, then EA FC 24 for free in ps plus monthly free games, play it, dont like it. Then i start seeing older FIFA games like 19 and 17 just to have players that retired or some iconic team from those year, buy both games. They are so much better. How do you downgrade so bad in such a short time?
Haven't played any game of soccer/football since FIFA 13 or so... (the one that started the ultimate team in the 1st place)... Haven't played any of them to this day.
Bro really thinks fc25 will be different 😂😂😂
We can only hope :(
you deserve more subscribers! what an epic essay.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! I’m glad I could bring some value of entertainment to your day :)
Forget it man,EA Sports FC 25 is gonna be shit im telling you
I don’t think you’re wrong!
Wait wat do u mean?
Biggest mistery is: Why EA Don't copy mood system from WE/PES? Its so fun, because force players to do rotation almost in every match.
It’s something I don’t get either. I’d love older players in career to have a reputation trait, something that makes them play better in big occasions. A little pet peeve of mine 😂. Thanks for watching! Please consider subscribing for more content :D
They will copy it…. in 3 years. They will advertise it as a “new feature” to coax ppl into buying the game. Marketing.
I've completely cut myself off FIFA games. Playing other stuff really opens your eyes to how bad sports games are in general. They're piss poor products that I honestly feel shame for buying back in the day.
The worst thing is, FIFA is probably the better of the sports games 😂
Congrats - life is sooooo much better without EAFC! World is much larger & enjoyable than a monitor and bad game.
Boxing is 100% more dangerous than MMA, because in boxing once you get knocked out you are still able to get back up in 10 count, increasing risk of concussion. In MMA once you're knocked out, it's done.
I suppose visually, MMA is more brutal with blood and gashes which you see a bit less of in boxing. But I do get where you’re coming from! Thanks for commenting :D
@@ObsessingAgain also in boxing the wrist wraps and glove wrist makes the force of the punchs a lot harder it's why brain damage is a lot more common including the fact they are solely attacking each others head most of the time where as in ufc your spending time on the lower body and floor and they are looking to get that ankle lock, arm bar ect but in boxing the only way to end the fight is to hit the head.
Both sport have their own dangers stop comparing both are tough sports
If kids keep buying unfinished roster updates every year it's not going to change
I know I did a 15 min video on this game, but I am unfortunately guilty of this. I tell myself I won’t, and then I cave in 😂 I am the problem! Thanks for comment :)
keep it up! u came into my algorithms and i thought u were a bigger channel than u were !
@@5ino3vil that’s a lovely comment to receive, so thank you! I hope I brought some value of entertainment to your day :)
3:16 audio is a LITTTLE too loud here 😂
@@supersonicsaint3702 Noted!
Man. I remember fight night on my original, black Xbox ⚫️
@@supersonicsaint3702 it’s sad boxing games are looked back upon as nostalgic. The OG Xbox, what a unit 😂
Undisputed is an absolute trash tier game. It's so bad on a fundamental level. There's sooooo many issues you can't even list them on a youtube comment. The biggest issues though are a garbage text based career mode, god awful AI for singleplayer and absolutely dogshit netcode with massive desync making every online fight a coin toss more than a measure of skill. I want a good boxing game but Undisputed is 1000% not it. Don't misinform the people. It's BAD and if that's our ONLY hope, we are cooked. Check out Bloody Knuckles Street Boxing or the new Muay Thai game in development by Overhand Interactive.
Firstly, thank you for the comment. Undisputed is a grey area, technically it’s not fully released, but I understand your complaints with it. I think for the foreseeable future it’s our only realistic option for boxing games. It’s a shame EA won’t delve back into boxing :(
The biggest crime is not having Mike Tyson on the roster
FIFA 23 was fine but this FIFA, I NEVER see so many people complained about it and I NEVER see so much hate in the game!
@@FCCOLLEGEYT the FIFA community is not the most forgiving for sure. FC 25 has been announced today, let’s hope they take onboard some of my changes 👀
Nah everyone saif fifa 23 was the worst and before thwt they said fifa 22 was the worst and so on
If you keep doing your thing, you will get a big following. Don’t be deterred.. it could take years.
@@Koutsimouka Really appreciate this comment! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to watch! Please consider subscribing, I upload bi-weekly 🕹️
1 minute in and I've already subscribed lol. It feels like EA doesn't care about our complaints as long as it can pump out trash and we still buy it in masses giving them millions in revenue. We can't even blame EA. Imagine if you don't even have to try and people will still buy and spend money on your game earning you millions. They need competition.
@@xsillah3623 thanks for the sub! EA’s problem is the same as GTA 5 Online, why stop the cash cow? That’s with a business hat on. There’s a rumour 2K are working on a football game, but eFootball, UFL is hardly competition :(
Gameplay still the biggest issue. Teammate Ai still sucks and useless when on higher difficulty. Standing like statues while the opponent dribbles by, or leaving the back post unprotected from a cross. UT is to blame for this downfall, and players keep buying packs every year.
@@Junkosei100 I find the difficulty options super difficult. Playing on the hardest difficulty in career mode is either sometimes quite easy, or laughably hard with no justification. I know some forums with custom settings to strike that perfect balance, like nerfing shots. As long as UT is popular, the improvements and drastic changes to gameplay will not change.
The only thing that has improved are the graphics. The game modes have pretty much been identical to previous FIFAS.
@@Sam_FIFA Hey, don’t forget the odd UI change! 😉
Good video. What made me decide not to buy eafc next year, after playing almost every edition since 07 is that after j lost interest in fut, i started a player career mode only to find out they added dumb objectives in order to get a contract or transfer. Imagine that ; score 5 bicycle kicks to join real madrid? 😂 what a nonsense
FUT is a fun mode. But to play it year after year with slight tweaks it just doesn’t do it for me. Career mode and player career seems to stagnate after one season.
Whats so bad about fc, a new year a new era
A new year, and a slightly different game, year on year :(
The gameplay is very broken
It’s certainly better than it used to be. I just wish the players moved that bit more realistically.
@@ObsessingAgain tbh I don't agree there is always broken moves, dribbles and stupidity in defending. You can cut the ball several times and your opponent manage to take it . for me fifa 23 was much better and also it's my favourite fifa
I miss fifa 18 Bc that was the last one to have real breakaways
I have a lot of fondness for FIFA 17. FIFA 20 onwards, I’d struggle to tell you what I really like about any of them.
Good video. Honestly when i stopped buying fifa when it got to fifa 19. (I bought every single fifa from 11 to 19). As a GM mode player first and foremost, I felt like not only it was the lack of innovation, i swear i think they were deliberately removing gameplay elements or modifying them to make them just plain annoying. Like the transfert and resigning market. At first i was hopeful of the change but after i played it i just wanted to play fifa 14 again. I felt like they were killing the non microtransactions game mode in effort to make players go to fut. I still plug my xbox360 to play fifa 11 once in a while to play GM with a young Messi and Ronaldo. And i find like the gameplay is less of a buggy mess than it is in fifa 18 or 19 with random i tackle you but the engine is broken so it goes back in your legs kidda bullshit.
One thing I miss about the older career modes is requesting funds. Or even FIFA 08 when you could choose club sponsors. I can’t understand what the benefit would be to remove these features :( Thank you for taking the time to comment!
EA will release good sports games again when the UK admit they invented the word soccer and it's the correct name for the sport.
Don’t come at us 😂 🇬🇧 It’s not something that is ever mentioned or acknowledged 😂 Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@ObsessingAgain oh absolutely no shade intended towards you. that was just shade at EA and the weird language elitism evolution surrounding that sport xD
@@MarsInFlightreally dude? What a weird comment
@@MillerTheOriginal not really. it's the same as saying it'll never happen
@@MarsInFlight yeah I get it but you gotta have faith. There isn't 'not' going to be a decent football game ever again
for a company that is better in marketing, than they are at gameplay, choosing the name EAFC is impossible to understand
The word FIFA will always be synonymous with EA sports and a video game. Thanks for watching!
I’ve not enjoyed a football game since PES 13 😬
Damn, for PES players there’s nothing really out there to play anymore :( Thanks for the comment!
@@ObsessingAgain not just PES ..the last decent FIFA game was World Cup 2010
FIFA is Arcady players ice skate and passing like a ball on a string…and scoring the exact same goal over and over again 🥱
@@Kris_1708 I had many great memories using that Spain side, and the special world cup celebrations
@@Kris_1708 Couldn’t agree more. You have to really mess about with the settings to make it more realistic (if you’re playing against a legendary AI) in order to create realism.
8:40 - WTF are you saying here?
*mic drop* I’m not afraid to call it out. I can’t stand battle passes. Initially it was a great idea, but the gaming market is oversaturated in them now. FIFA Street was at its best when it was a bit grimey, rough around the edges. But that’s just my personal opinion.
That's worth a sub
Thank you for taking the time to watch, and subscribe!
One big thing I want changed is the gameplay. Feels too fast and free scoring now. There aren’t really different ways to play. Just pop a through ball and shoot near post. EA games like Madden and NHL have gameplay presents in which you can choose an Arcade, Competitive, or Simulation style gameplay. For me, a Career Mode player, it’s absurd that my gameplay is so similar to FUT, Clubs, and Kickoff. I want that slower play in which some games can end with 1 or 0 goals. I want my goalkeepers and defenders to be in form because they can actually keep clean sheets. I want to have to think about ways to breakdown my opponents that aren’t a quick ball down the wing. I can see why the quick, flashy gameplay is good to keep people active in FUT but I want other options for playing with my friends or by myself.
Nothing you’ve said I disagree with. Career mode gameplay is by far the best. I like Ultimate Team, but it’s so arcadey. With the rumours of 2K doing a football game, I hope it puts abit more pressure on EA to come up with some new ideas, and refined gameplay.
Gameplay was good to start the year - for 1-3 weeks. Then they changed everything for the worse.

What a W video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Now which version of the film is done right ?
If we're talking about 1982 Blade Runner, The Final Cut is the best version of this film...by a mile! I think 2049 is lovingly made, a unique vision that I'm not sure Ridley Scott could have achieved. I think the new Blade Runner TV series has the potential to be special with it's casting!
These videos are just so consistently brilliant
Thanks for your continued support
Being given the option to not hurt civilians but feeling obliged to reminded me of the Milgram Experiment in a way. Great analysis!
Thank you for your continued support brother. All I ask in return is more videos from yourself!
Very well done on this video. I remember that feeling very uncomfortable to play.
Thanks for checking it out!
