Anyway, he's working on/with Animal Well at the time of this comment. Dude might have a reputation considering what Dispray commented, I guess... But you should know Big Mode is no longer Animal Well's publisher. The two must have parted ways. @@vedaryan334

      People frequently complain about the size and repeated bosses, but it still has the highest number of unique bosses in any Fromsoft game by a decent margin. The size as well gives you so much room to vary what you choose to do on repeat playthroughs. Build diversity is strong, spells are better and more varied than ever, and the landscapes are just a treat to look at. The land is so big that there are things I discovered on my first playthrough that I haven't found again on repeat playthroughs. It's an absolute gem of a game and I'll continue playing it for years to come.

    Dunkey man, i just wanna say that your sense of humor brings so much shine and laughs, your reviews dude are some of the most impressive combinations i've ever seen, really, only you could mix humor and seriouness like that. You give so much heart and personality to everything you do and post, im pretty sure Bigmode is gonna go big mode. Thanks for all the laughs man and for everything you taught me, because of you i know what is important to a videogame and what importance is a videogame. Dude you changed my view on Tlou part II, i was stupid before that. Anyway probably your fan for what, 2-3 years now? Not that much, maybe less, but i certainly want to keep putting more years watching you, truly one of the creators out there supah Mario 2.

    • @chavzone
      @chavzone ปีที่แล้ว +74

      @@King_Luigi You make good points, but ultimately the answer lies in details we do not know. How much additional publicity and exposure can Bigmode offer? How much did the deal cost? How close are the publisher and the developer? Ultimately, they both agreed on the deal, so evidently they both think they're getting something good from it.
      And I know you probably didn't intend it that way, but your comments also come across as somewhat bad faith attacks. This is a small indie publisher announcing its first title, a small indie developer's first game. Not only does the game itself look extremely promising, but the main thing to celebrate here is independent producers making something fully outside of the cursed, soulless oligarchy that is contemporary mainstream publishing. That's a win in my book. Even if the game doesn't do as well as we might hope - which I highly doubt because it looks excellent - this is still an awesome first step for what we can reasonably expect to become a very solid independent publisher - not least since it's the passion project of our favourite TH-camr in whose comment section we are presently gathered!

    lmao, 4:10 is just so very, VERY Cuphead 😂. Btw, congrats again on starting up BigMode, mate, as well as congrats on picking what seems like a WONDERFULLY creative, atmospheric, and genuinely-inspired first game to get behind (just wishlisted it 🙂👍).

    My jaw actually dropped in surprise when you showed "Adventures of Lolo" at 5:30. Easily one of the best puzzle games of all time.

    I found your channel a few months ago and I think I binged all of it. Even used the Internet Archive to find some unlisted videos like the Gang Garrison one. Thanks for putting so much quality into your work! I sent a pitch to Big Mode, hopefully haven't made (too much of) a fool of myself. Happy 2023!

    After an intense session with my significant other, they felt inspired to watch your video of the 2022 review. Unfortunately they were saddened that Beeg Yoshi is out of stock at Dunkey's Castle. Thank you for inspiring us, and we hope it one day returns to buy 💟
