when drew started talking about when he was a kid, i tried to imagine what he would look like as a kid, but all i could think of was a kid's body with drew's face edited onto it. disturbing.
As someone who grew up pretty sheltered from video games, I relate to the feeling of being at other peoples' houses and ONLY wanting to play video games. I remember one time being like 10 years old and being DELIGHTED when my parents brought me and my brothers to this random business and sat us in a room with a PS3 and let us play video games for like three hours. Turns out the business was actually a familial law firm and my parents were in another room actively writing and signing their divorce papers as we played, and that is why, to this day, I have serious beef with Lego Harry Potter.
i feel like this is the first time drew's mentioned an existence of one of his family members other than amanda. low key surprised that he has a little brother
I love how Nintendo isn’t included in the console wars because one generation they were so ahead of the competition it wasn’t even close, and then the next generation they were so far behind it wasn’t even close
They dug their own grave. The SNES CD was being made by Sony, and Nintendo backed out like an idiot. Sony made it into the Playstation and Nintendo was sidelined ever since.
I never had to worry about which console to get because I had divorced parents so I had both consoles. But no matter how many consoles you have, nothing can console you when you realize your parents divorced shortly after you were born.
That was me playing a Carmen San Diego game meant for 5th graders when I was in 2nd or something. Felt like a genius. Look at me now! A disappointment!
I looked up 'Danny Gonzalez' and clicked on a Drew Gooden video instead... It's quite difficult to decide which persona I prefer, he plays them both extremely well

Hey Drew, the issue with the hard drive free storage is 2 fold: 1. Installing a new game: usually entails installing many many patches and updates to install the most recent version thus inflating the overall size of the game out of hand. 2. Installing a patch/update: requires literally making a copy of the game, installing and merging the patch/update on this copy, then deleting the old copy - thus requiring double the amount of space for the game (at least temporarily). you can likely use the free space for videos and other media as advertised.
There isn't a need to create a copy of the entire game to patch certain elements, you can just patch them in place. However, uncompressing temporary files does take a bit of space especially with how large games have gotten
I have literally no interest in this topic and yet thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your commentary. I love how measured and considerate you are while also being scathing, self-deprecating, and hilarious. It's a nice juxtaposition. Also, if you love me at all (and I realize you do not) would you please help out my OCD and bring your road sign forward enough to cover the two outlet covers and power cord in the foreground of your set up. This would immeasurably bless my soul. But do or do not do, I will still faithfully watch.
ever since that video where he said that he posts videos on the last possible day of the month, i look forward to a new video on the last day of the month.
Hey Drew, to answer your question about HDD space the reason it requires all that free space is because when you update a game you do not download the entire new game file, instead you download the new data and a set of instructions for where those pieces go. Then your system will go through all the old game files and copy them one by one to a new location while inserting the new information where it's supposed to go(this is the copying step that takes forever). So you essentially need twice as much free space for an update as the game itself takes up. This makes downloading updates very fast and use very little data but has all those drawbacks such as the long copying step and the need for extra space. I think this will be solved by the next generation using an SSD so now the files in updates no longer have to be located physically close locations to one another since there are no moving parts so the copying step won't be as important. I hope that makes sense
You're right but it's really dumb that they didn't account for it when showing you the needed size or available space. If I need to download a 100GB game and I have 150GB space, the system should say "Hey, the download is 100GB but I'm gonna need 200GB of space because of my update protocol." And not cry "Not enough space!" to me when I, maybe a non tech savvy person, is seeing enough space for the download.
The nostalgia hit me when he said “gimme the good controller” I forgot about the old days when controller quality determined how satisfied you were at the end of a game 😂 whether it was wires you had to hold a certain way or sticky buttons someone always got stuck with a shitty controller
It's like a completely different type of console. The gameplay for some of Nintendo's newer games like totk is so significantly different to mainstream games like tlou and cod and stuff. It's more nostalgia based I think. Jesus I've said too much no one's gonna read this lol
Drew's gaming timeline is scarily close to mine, and I'm sure to everyone else born around the turn of the millennium. I love how we all have practically the same memories without even knowing one another. Fucking crazy man
Yea the ps3 didnt do to well, xbox 360 was a great console at the time, ps2 is literally the top selling console of all time, and pre xbox or playstation nintendo basically had a monopoly on the console market so most people around that time had some sort of nintendo console. Nintendo had and still does have strong console loyalty thats why yhe switch has done so well. Along with nintendo giving you a face to sympathise with, a fun bubbly mascot, and a mastery of building hype. Meanwhile xbox and playstation usually win by having something extremely useful to the average consumer, like the ps2 basically being a cheap computer, the xbox 360 being sold at a good price compared to the ps3, and the ps4 for not being the xbox one, also spiderman and other exclusives. Tldr, most people had the same gaming experience due to high sales and peer pressure.
I went from ps1, then ps2, then xbox 360, and then ps4 a few years ago because halo sucks now and i wanted to play the last of us.. so i bought the remastered. They did joel dirty in the new game.
Redheadken pleasepleaseplease tell me I’m not the only one who played the games ‘Zoombeenies’ Like please they’ve either scarred or blessed me i have no idea but i need to know they weren’t just a fever dream about an educational weird pc videogame-
Hearing Drew rant about PS4s makes me feel so valid. I recently had to start using a PS4, and as someone who has grown up in XBOX, I'm having a hard time with PlayStation. But most people I know despise XBOX, so this feels good to me.
@@yeetyeet5079 completely fair point. console wars are dumb and genuine childish "us vs them" mentality. it depends on your taste and more often that not your pivilege. its a privilege to be able to afford these haha and enjoy them. have fun
Drew could make a video comparing shows I’ve never watched or (like this video) comparing game consoles I’ve never used and he would still be able to make the video interesting for me to watch, and that’s genuinely impressive.
4:00 the extremely soft “dearly beloved” music playing just brought back so much for me. I completely forgot about that song and at first I didn’t even realise it was playing from the video but it was like my ears slowly started to really absorb that melody. Ur videos are beautiful done drew.
I love drew Gooden. His whole story is to a “T” the exact same trajectory and path I followed with the same opinions of the consoles. It’s actually ridiculous. Loved this video. Keep doing what you do, Drew, you’ve made my shitty day a lot better.
Mine was similar. I started out as a nintendo boy with getting the Wii for christmas 2010/2011. I would've been the same age as the year, 10 or 11. Then, after I bought the amazing spiderman movie tie in game around 2012, I also saw somebody playing it on the xbox/ps and that version was completely better, because of the hardware and all that. So from there I disown nintendo because I feel like they've cheated me by being the inferior console as far as tech goes. So I asked my parents for a playstation. Weirdly they got me an xbox 360 instead, but I was so new to gaming I didn't really care, figured it'd all be the same. I ended up enjoying it, but I never really got to play the best games it had to offer. Like halo. Then, ps4 and xbone drop, and I go for the ps4, because of those *chefs kiss* exclusives. I was never particularly loyal to xbox but I am now to playstation. Then 4 years later rumors of the new Nintendo console surface. And with them come rumors of a new zelda game. I thought I outgrew that part of my childhood, but then I see gameplay for botw for the first time, and all these speculation and rumor vidoes start popping up and now I'm almost a grown man actually hyped for a nintendo console. I get the switch on launch day, and still stand by nintendo as my favorite company of the 3. Next being sony, ofc for the high quality exclusives. It's a good bridge between the great exclusives that nintendo dominates with, and the higher quality tech xbox is probably best at. So, for best console, I think playstation 4 runs the game. TLOU 1&2, Uncharted 1-4, God of war, Spiderman, and all designed with the best modern tech has to offer. Then with that you get access to TW3, all Arkham games, RDR2, GTA5, and any other 3rd party game, it might not be the best console to run those on, but it's more than good enough for me. They look and run amazing on ps4, so I'm fine without a slightly better version out there that I couldn't get all of sony's exclusives on as well. At the end of the day, that's just me lol so I don't see why I'd bother fighting with someone who doesn't feel the same way. In fact, most of my friends swear by the xbox, and a lot of them probably haven't even played the playstation, but I couldn't care less. Most of the games I enjoy are singleplayer, and at the end of the day it's just games we're talking about. Nothing could be more subjective than games, movies, or music.
I’m about to infodump so hard on my experiences with Sly Cooper but Drew just hit me with SO MUCH unwanted nostalgia. First of all, I used to call the game “Sly fox” because I thought the main character was a fox. Now, I understand that it was, indeed, a raccoon, but I was tiny at the time so I was allowed to think it was a fox. I will be referring to it as sly fox, because that is what childhood me thought and that is what I will continue to think. I used to *always* play sly fox. It was my game, like Dream and Minecraft. I was constantly on sly fox, I would get so mad when my brothers wanted a go, but they only ever wanted a go about twice a year. They would just watch their little sister play with her fox friend. They would sit and watch me, help me, tell me what to do and when I found it hard, they’d offer to show me what to do and then die right as they were about to win so I could have the glory. As I spent so much time on this game, I grew emotionally attached to sly fox. I played and played, I would restart chapters just because I thought they were fun. I especially loved the Paris Chapter. I got to the last (fourth?) chapter in the game, and was so exited. I knew I could have finished this game a while back, but I never actually got onto this bit. Jump forwards a bit, and I’m about the walk out, I’m about to win. But this big, looming creature comes and grabs my fox. I’m spamming all of the moves I know, hoping to jump out of the fist, not knowing it was a cutscene. Then, the screen goes black. I’m gutted, going back over, trying another strategy, getting my brothers to try, getting my mother to try. But nothing works. It’s how the game ends. Sly fox was killed. After that, I never touched the game again. I was thoroughly pissed. Such a big part of my childhood, MY sly fox, MY game, and it ended with the death of my protagonist. I lived for that game. Anyway As you can see, no I have not recovered.
“That memory as a child influenced me buying a car from car max” I’m imagining drew going to CarMax and scheduling a tour around and he just sits in the waiting room playing Smash Bros the whole time.

Hey Drew, I actually really like when you talk about stuff you care about, even if it's just video game consoles. You do you! It's not something I care about personally but you're really good at making whatever you talk about interesting! Thanks for making such great videos, going back and rewatching them all is helping me get through quarantine 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Unfortunately, our copy got a bit broken, so only my eldest sister got to finish it. For the rest if us, we had to play the minigames over and over, never getting to retrieve a robot from the past.
When the Switch first came out, everyone in my friend group bought it right away but I didn't. I felt really left out but then I got a job and bought a Switch so now I have one too and none of us ever play together so moral of the story is I like Tetris99 and that's the best battle royal game
The amount of games I've bought with the intent of playing with people and then just don't is stupid. Moral of the story; be selfish when buying games.
13:47 As an Xbox user, and with a dad that used to work at Microsoft, I am aware of this weird habit and also have an explanation. While my dad worked at a completely different area in the company, he was constantly having the issue where a boss would be promoted or replaced, and the next guy would feel the need to put his name on whatever they were working on. The new bosses would almost always change something for no reason, and then the whole team would have to spend weeks or months fixing random bugs and user complaints because the interface changed for no other reason than that the new boss wanted to do something. So thats probably why that keeps happening.
Man had the Mass Effect music in the background so subtly the whole time and it was really throwing me off until I tuned in to hear it. But it just proves that Drew is, in fact, a true gamer.
@@badqualityfrog9367 lmao just read the comments. Everyone is either commenting how nintendo/pc is laughing bc its better or people are attacking eachothers comments
Buying a PS5 and it’s literally only due to the fact that Miles Morales is getting his own game. I’m a huge Spider-Man fan so I automatically have to go where my interest is. But yeah, never understood these arguments. Great video, Guy 👍🏼
Exclusives and price are really the only reasons to choose one over the other. So unless this halo game is an absolute banger, I'm definitely getting a PS5.
The mindset of "I'm getting whatever my friends are on" is kind of dying out cuz crossplay is becoming a bigger thing as time goes on. Warzone, rocket league,minecraft, smite, mortal kombat 11, etc. Which I think is really cool
Ps3 and ps4 were (made) great for the single player exclusives X 360 and xbone were (made) great for the multiplayer So for me, a single player guy, always had to save up all my money,to buy another fuckin console,the exact same game again,just to play multiplayer with my old friends from another city. I've been *praying* for crossplay for a decade now .
@@athoswolff776 I pretty much only play single player games, ever since I was a kid so, I love Playstation. I like the games better and hate playing online.
I'd argue against that, crossplay mostly goes for Xbox and PC or PlayStation and PC, they usually don't go together, plus Sony is a big stickler on that, I mean, it took them like 5 years to let minecraft be crossplay with xbox
Most commentary you'll notice starts with an opening paragraph containing their thesis, as well as many body paragraphs, then an ending paragraph that restate his thesis and closes out the discussion. Just like a regular essay
the switch, and Nintendo as a whole, is fairly distinct. They aim at a different market and they also manage to fairly successfully become the de facto second console of people who are primarily interested in either as Sony or Microsoft console
Man u naming a lot of nostalgia hits that must be really specific to our age. Destruction derby for n64, atv offroad fury, Shrek 2. And then Hollywood video! Are we twins or sometin

Hey Drew, the issue with the hard drive free storage is 2 fold:
1. Installing a new game: usually entails installing many many patches and updates to install the most recent version thus inflating the overall size of the game out of hand.

Hey Drew, to answer your question about HDD space the reason it requires all that free space is because when you update a game you do not download the entire new game file, instead you download the new data and a set of instructions for where those pieces go. Then your system will go through all the old game files and copy them one by one to a new location while inserting the new information where it's supposed to go(this is the copying step that takes forever). So you essentially need twice as much free space for an update as the game itself takes up.
This makes downloading updates very fast and use very little data but has all those drawbacks such as the long copying step and the need for extra space. I think this will be solved by the next generation using an SSD so now the files in updates no longer have to be located physically close locations to one another since there are no moving parts so the copying step won't be as important.
I hope that makes sense
Fascinating, thank you for taking the time to explain all of this! I hope it reaches Drew
You're right but it's really dumb that they didn't account for it when showing you the needed size or available space.
If I need to download a 100GB game and I have 150GB space, the system should say "Hey, the download is 100GB but I'm gonna need 200GB of space because of my update protocol." And not cry "Not enough space!" to me when I, maybe a non tech savvy person, is seeing enough space for the download.

No seriously. Its like a shot for shot remake of my life
Yea the ps3 didnt do to well, xbox 360 was a great console at the time, ps2 is literally the top selling console of all time, and pre xbox or playstation nintendo basically had a monopoly on the console market so most people around that time had some sort of nintendo console. Nintendo had and still does have strong console loyalty thats why yhe switch has done so well. Along with nintendo giving you a face to sympathise with, a fun bubbly mascot, and a mastery of building hype. Meanwhile xbox and playstation usually win by having something extremely useful to the average consumer, like the ps2 basically being a cheap computer, the xbox 360 being sold at a good price compared to the ps3, and the ps4 for not being the xbox one, also spiderman and other exclusives.
Tldr, most people had the same gaming experience due to high sales and peer pressure.
I went from ps1, then ps2, then xbox 360, and then ps4 a few years ago because halo sucks now and i wanted to play the last of us.. so i bought the remastered. They did joel dirty in the new game.

Why is drew talking about video games for almost 20 minutes so damn comfy
Hearing Drew rant about PS4s makes me feel so valid. I recently had to start using a PS4, and as someone who has grown up in XBOX, I'm having a hard time with PlayStation. But most people I know despise XBOX, so this feels good to me.
Bro you will miss out on the better games that’s all I prefer about playstation

4:00 the extremely soft “dearly beloved” music playing just brought back so much for me. I completely forgot about that song and at first I didn’t even realise it was playing from the video but it was like my ears slowly started to really absorb that melody. Ur videos are beautiful done drew.
I love drew Gooden. His whole story is to a “T” the exact same trajectory and path I followed with the same opinions of the consoles. It’s actually ridiculous. Loved this video. Keep doing what you do, Drew, you’ve made my shitty day a lot better.
The only thing I had in common with Drew’s story was my life getting partially ruined
{UwU}Lord{ BAHAHHAH
Mine was similar. I started out as a nintendo boy with getting the Wii for christmas 2010/2011. I would've been the same age as the year, 10 or 11. Then, after I bought the amazing spiderman movie tie in game around 2012, I also saw somebody playing it on the xbox/ps and that version was completely better, because of the hardware and all that. So from there I disown nintendo because I feel like they've cheated me by being the inferior console as far as tech goes.
So I asked my parents for a playstation.
Weirdly they got me an xbox 360 instead, but I was so new to gaming I didn't really care, figured it'd all be the same. I ended up enjoying it, but I never really got to play the best games it had to offer. Like halo.
Then, ps4 and xbone drop, and I go for the ps4, because of those *chefs kiss* exclusives. I was never particularly loyal to xbox but I am now to playstation.
Then 4 years later rumors of the new Nintendo console surface. And with them come rumors of a new zelda game. I thought I outgrew that part of my childhood, but then I see gameplay for botw for the first time, and all these speculation and rumor vidoes start popping up and now I'm almost a grown man actually hyped for a nintendo console.
I get the switch on launch day, and still stand by nintendo as my favorite company of the 3. Next being sony, ofc for the high quality exclusives. It's a good bridge between the great exclusives that nintendo dominates with, and the higher quality tech xbox is probably best at.
So, for best console, I think playstation 4 runs the game. TLOU 1&2, Uncharted 1-4, God of war, Spiderman, and all designed with the best modern tech has to offer. Then with that you get access to TW3, all Arkham games, RDR2, GTA5, and any other 3rd party game, it might not be the best console to run those on, but it's more than good enough for me. They look and run amazing on ps4, so I'm fine without a slightly better version out there that I couldn't get all of sony's exclusives on as well.
At the end of the day, that's just me lol so I don't see why I'd bother fighting with someone who doesn't feel the same way. In fact, most of my friends swear by the xbox, and a lot of them probably haven't even played the playstation, but I couldn't care less. Most of the games I enjoy are singleplayer, and at the end of the day it's just games we're talking about. Nothing could be more subjective than games, movies, or music.
I have never owned or played with either of these consoles. But look at me watching Drew talk about it purely because I like how he rambles 😂
Lol same!!
Me neither and im jus sitting here notting my head to the things he says i have no idea what even is😭
same like I honestly don’t rlly care about video games but I watched this anyway bc of drew 😂

I’m about to infodump so hard on my experiences with Sly Cooper but Drew just hit me with SO MUCH unwanted nostalgia.
First of all, I used to call the game “Sly fox” because I thought the main character was a fox. Now, I understand that it was, indeed, a raccoon, but I was tiny at the time so I was allowed to think it was a fox. I will be referring to it as sly fox, because that is what childhood me thought and that is what I will continue to think.
I used to *always* play sly fox. It was my game, like Dream and Minecraft. I was constantly on sly fox, I would get so mad when my brothers wanted a go, but they only ever wanted a go about twice a year. They would just watch their little sister play with her fox friend. They would sit and watch me, help me, tell me what to do and when I found it hard, they’d offer to show me what to do and then die right as they were about to win so I could have the glory.
As I spent so much time on this game, I grew emotionally attached to sly fox. I played and played, I would restart chapters just because I thought they were fun. I especially loved the Paris Chapter.
I got to the last (fourth?) chapter in the game, and was so exited. I knew I could have finished this game a while back, but I never actually got onto this bit. Jump forwards a bit, and I’m about the walk out, I’m about to win. But this big, looming creature comes and grabs my fox. I’m spamming all of the moves I know, hoping to jump out of the fist, not knowing it was a cutscene. Then, the screen goes black. I’m gutted, going back over, trying another strategy, getting my brothers to try, getting my mother to try. But nothing works. It’s how the game ends. Sly fox was killed.
After that, I never touched the game again. I was thoroughly pissed. Such a big part of my childhood, MY sly fox, MY game, and it ended with the death of my protagonist. I lived for that game.
Anyway
As you can see, no I have not recovered.
I always thought the game was named sly fox too!!!!

When the Switch first came out, everyone in my friend group bought it right away but I didn't. I felt really left out but then I got a job and bought a Switch so now I have one too and none of us ever play together so moral of the story is I like Tetris99 and that's the best battle royal game

The amount of games I've bought with the intent of playing with people and then just don't is stupid. Moral of the story; be selfish when buying games.

Even if you don't play the Switch with other people, I'd say its still worth it to play BoTW and games like Skyrim on a portable console.
13:47 As an Xbox user, and with a dad that used to work at Microsoft, I am aware of this weird habit and also have an explanation. While my dad worked at a completely different area in the company, he was constantly having the issue where a boss would be promoted or replaced, and the next guy would feel the need to put his name on whatever they were working on. The new bosses would almost always change something for no reason, and then the whole team would have to spend weeks or months fixing random bugs and user complaints because the interface changed for no other reason than that the new boss wanted to do something.
So thats probably why that keeps happening.
