This reminds me a lot of these old Shareware discs which had like a hundred shareware versions of games on them that you could try out. It seems in some ways the PC market hasn't changed. At least when it comes to small developers.
this is why I sort of gave up trying to be an indie dev, though what always surprises me is how most of these kinds of games are more interesting visually than they are gameplay-wise. I'm pretty sure (though obviously not if I've never done it) that I could make relatively interesting gameplay, but that would be weaker graphics-wise.
1:44:00 I actually laughed, coughed, and laughed harder at how fast he turned it down. It's so funny how quickly Ross sees an "anime game" and is just like "Yeah, I get it... Pass..." Agreed man, not into those kinds of games either. "Senpai, let's have sex all day and do nothing but have fun." Game's do NOT need to be realistic, but I need some believeability. And being too disconnected from reality just turns me off. I need struggle in my games, make these characters suffer. That's why I like Dead Space 1 and 2. You play as some engineer jack-off who's just trying to do his job, crap hits the fan, and you've now gotta deal with it. Some dude thrown into a terrible mix. Some dude, some rando, Jerk-off Esquire, nobody, one in a million, some poor sap who was not destined to be anything more than average, now being thrust into horrible situations. Inject that directly into my veins.
I found this video far more entertaining than I should have. Of course I like to peruse through games on steam looking for diamonds in the rough for fun though. I could do that for hours.
It's probably too late (and doesn't matter), but here's more missed stuff: 01:16:04: missed page 38 01:26:55: missed 35 02:08:38: missed 25 02:21:52: missed bottom row of 22 02:44:39: missed 18 AND bottom row of 17 03:31:18: missed 6 03:55:37: briefly looked at 38 03:56:29: 35 again 03:57:30: 25 again 03:57:49: overlooked bottom row of 22 again 03:58:01: 18 again 03:58:06: briefly looked at 17
I actually got all of those after the stream and put it in the comment except pg. 25, you're right, I missed that. The comment should have everything updated now.
Night of the Consumers is fucking rad. absolutely loved it. Also this is one of those bundles that are honestly kinda too good to not get. Even if most of the games I'll never try or look at it's a ludicrous amount of games to just have and it goes to a good cause. Plus it has some games that I wanted to try or look like they're interesting
I noticed this too, Ross was candid yet fair but the chat had a few cynical downers. There was one guy consistently shitting on other people's interests in the chat as well, dude was lame.
Nice! I've only managed to get to page 20 in the list of games so far, downloading those that A seem interesting and B will run on my computer. B is limiting me quite a lot, so I'm mostly trying the visual novels. Without having finished your video, I'm going to go ahead and assume my list of maybes will not overlap with yours much. ;) But, note for anyone who bought this, Night in the Woods is among the games. Almost anyone will want to give that one a try. Thanks for going through the whole lot! I'm looking forward to watching the rest.
Vincent the secret of myers is a pretty good game and has some nice art long with it. Been playing it for a long while now and its got my seal of approval
The only thing I could add is that Code 7 is ok. I haven't beaten it yet but there you can control crew movement on the map, command them what to do. It's an interesting concept of indirect interaction. However you need to use a console a lot because you are kind of admin, so it can also give you a text-adventure ptsd.
Really hoping you try out Receiver. It's one of those no-textures games but it has a lot else going for it that I really think you might find interesting, and a sequel to it came out a couple months ago that's pretty much the same idea but properly developed and expanded. Kinda makes the first game a demo/proof of concept of the sequel, and the sequel the actual game.
I shoulda bought this bundle, alot of stuff really grabbed me. Oh well, i was probably never gonna touch any of them if this hadnt been uploaded anyway
3:34:05 Damn, Ross just casually skipping on Pyre made my heart break a little. Sure, it's not the best of Supergiant's games, but *it is* a Supergiant game!
Ross being brutally honest was a side of him I didn't imagine; but it was completely hilarious Also, itchio keeps adding games, he should do thos again in a month or two Please go back "Probably won't"
Really glad I got this pack, good amount of great games most of which run on my toaster laptop. While a lot weren't video games, theres some really cool minimalist table top story games as well for a group story night. My favorites so far: Celeste: Amazing platformer, fantastic story, there's not much to say that others haven't already. Windosill: short fun puzzle game, worth an install and a quick play. A Short Hike: Lovely simple platformer that while the narrative is sort of based on coming of age stuff, is still a fun game in it's own right. Nightmare Tower: payed version of a flash game I played a long time ago, its arcade fun like you'd expect of an old flash game. Epic Battle Fantasy 4: NOT FOR ROSS is sort of a purposefully cliche JRPG series thats more fun for big rpg heads. 3 is free, and 5 is out now, great games I love to play. Music is never super good though unfortunately. OneShot: Not done with this but already very interesting, one of those games you cant really talk about without spoiling it. Adventure game style but I've yet to hit a bullshit puzzle. Nuclear Throne: Top down shooter rogue like, great fun madness, but pretty hard. Quadrilateral Cowboy: very strange cinematic game where you simulate a heist as a hacker. Couldn't wrap my head around some of the stuff yet, but seems to have a lot of depth No Delivery: A very strange very untypical rpg, I think Ross would really like the style but maybe not the gameplay, as it sort of purposefully leaves you in the dark a bit. I've downloaded a lot of others but those are the ones I've played so far and enjoyed enough to recommend.
I recommend checking out Golden Treasure if you havent yet; Actually had it on steam before getting it in the bundle and its a really good graphic novel/life sim game with some really good xenofiction-type writing.
Sanguine Sanctum is sufficiently fucking weird. Short little walk-around surreal horror game. Bit puzzley. And, Beacon is an actual full-release indie game. Only played a bit but, solid so far. Could do with the bloom toned down and more variation in the color palette though.
You skipped page 38. 1:16:04 (Unless you go back and look at it later in the video? It looks like you clicked it, but maybe you accidentally double-clicked, and it jumped to 37? I dunno.) Not that it really matters, but that is a handful of games you missed. But really, thank you for this list! Really helped with sorting through SO MANY GAMES.
If anyone here in the comments is interested in casual games, try Six Match. It requires way more thinking to find matches than any match three game I've ever played, turning it into more of a puzzle game than casual really.
Ha-ha, guess I'm not the only one who bought this junk-pack ))) p.s .also it's funny, I bet Mission Critical just a few days ago. I think it was nice. And I've managed to solve all puzzles just by myself (ok, except one in the alien world) and it's kinda surprising for a 90s adventure.
Finally finished this, and it's hilarious how many people recommended Glittermitten Grove, and how Ross completely missed the comments that it's a joke stealth release of Frog Fractions 2. Definitely worth a Google. Something like doesn't make it through this kind of rapid-fire filtering process.
The art style didn't grab me, I'm not into dragons, and it appeared to have turn based combat. I felt like I had enough info from that I didn't have to check out the trailer. Doesn't mean it's a bad game, but when I'm handed 1100 games, that turns the pickiness levels up to maximum.
"let's check for music" and then listens to it for approximately 2 seconds or less. I don't think that's long enough to tell whether something sounds good or not
@@Yusuke_Denton except that's physically impossible, your average song is anywhere between 2-4 minutes in length. If you listen to it in its entirety, you might not like first minute of the song but it picks up in the next minute, or you don't like a song overall but like some 30 second long part in it, chorus or something Completely skipping a song because you didn't like the first 2 seconds is incredibly dishonest and quite stupid. It's your limbic brain trying to justify skipping a song, because that would require paying attention Not giving something a fair shake, you're most likely missed out on hundreds, if not thousands of songs you'd end up liking at least partly, had you listened to it more than a few seconds.
@@RolandTheJabberwocky Wheres your source on that? It just sounds like you're talking out of your butt. Can you provide a link as to where you seen police and "nazi sympathizers" are framing protesters? Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.
@@benpipp7408 Some of the rioting and looting was instigated by "someone" and there's pictures of stacks of bricks set up for people to throw, so without any evidence a lot of people are saying that must have been police and the alt-right (which since this isn't WW2 is who I assume they mean by "nazi sympathizers") that did it.
@@Yusuke_Denton Ty for the kind reply but I'm going to need some proof? Some sort of link to a reputable news source with said pictures. Who's to say the rioters themselves or the "alt leftist" didn't stack the bricks for they're own use. I would need to see pictures of police officers stacking bricks. Remember Eric Clanton? The bike-lock guy?

Gooey? Wtf? I get what you are saying, I say 'Hud' not H. U. D. but 'gooey is already a word and not something I want to associate with my electrical equipment.
“Effort went into this” is pretty much a death sentence for games on Ross’s game list
56:10 "The heartfelt story ratcheted it down. If it wasn't for that heartfelt story, this might be a winner."
Never change, Ross. 😂
I ended up missing a few. Here are the extras:

A 4 hour video from Ross? YES PLEASE! Don´t mind if I do!
Have you seen all the games added later? There's 1700 games currently.
You would probably like Stowaway Ross, I saw Vinny (vinesauce) play it and it seems your speed.
@@soulr9729 how many games added since yesterday
@@soulr9729 NOOOOOoo
This reminds me a lot of these old Shareware discs which had like a hundred shareware versions of games on them that you could try out.
It seems in some ways the PC market hasn't changed. At least when it comes to small developers.
this is why I sort of gave up trying to be an indie dev, though what always surprises me is how most of these kinds of games are more interesting visually than they are gameplay-wise. I'm pretty sure (though obviously not if I've never done it) that I could make relatively interesting gameplay, but that would be weaker graphics-wise.
9:12 Most honest reaction!
57:34 Harsh, Ross...
1:15:56 Ross describes my life
There's something amusing about seeing Ross be like "I don't like your music but I hope you make enough money to not die"
1:44:00 I actually laughed, coughed, and laughed harder at how fast he turned it down. It's so funny how quickly Ross sees an "anime game" and is just like "Yeah, I get it... Pass..." Agreed man, not into those kinds of games either.
"Senpai, let's have sex all day and do nothing but have fun." Game's do NOT need to be realistic, but I need some believeability. And being too disconnected from reality just turns me off. I need struggle in my games, make these characters suffer.
That's why I like Dead Space 1 and 2.
You play as some engineer jack-off who's just trying to do his job, crap hits the fan, and you've now gotta deal with it.
Some dude thrown into a terrible mix.
Some dude, some rando, Jerk-off Esquire, nobody, one in a million, some poor sap who was not destined to be anything more than average, now being thrust into horrible situations. Inject that directly into my veins.
I found this video far more entertaining than I should have. Of course I like to peruse through games on steam looking for diamonds in the rough for fun though. I could do that for hours.
I relate to this amount of pickiness.
I love your videos man thank you so much they are truly amazing
If you missed Pyre, please take another look at it. It's a very good game with a great soundtrack.
I was getting annoyed I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch on youtube now I got a whole 4 hours to listen to in the background nice
I been watching this videos 8 times a day
It's probably too late (and doesn't matter), but here's more missed stuff:
01:16:04: missed page 38
01:26:55: missed 35
02:08:38: missed 25
02:21:52: missed bottom row of 22

03:57:49: overlooked bottom row of 22 again

Ross: No.
oh boy, this is gonna be interesting
My thoughts exactly
Man the chat kinda pisses me off tbh too many clowns trying to be overly negative
I noticed this too, Ross was candid yet fair but the chat had a few cynical downers.
There was one guy consistently shitting on other people's interests in the chat as well, dude was lame.
It was mostly one annoying guy.
Yaaay Shovelware! I love crap!

Oh and are you interested in tabletop stuff at all Ross? Or collaborative story games? Because I've got some recommendations for you if you do.

I'm playing that one right now! Baby's first Earthbound, and I mean that in a good way
@@Guruc13 Yeah it's really a fun game but turn based so I already knew to count it out of ross's list
Top notch earthbound clone, wonderfully executed.
Comes out to about 13 seconds per game.
Sometimes I wonder why I never seen it before. But then I understand...it's TH-cam for you...

Pretty good commentary considering you went through more than a thousand games hahaha
>sees anime
NOPE
*pain*
I bought my friend a gift, last month, for his birthday. As a "hint". I'm gonna send him this video and say its one of these games, cause it is.
What game was it? And did he like it?
This was a genius hint BTW 😂
There is one problem with skipping "basic" looking game... Elastomania looks basic too and it is one of the best game of all time.
That moment when you realize you’re more picky than Ross. I only saw 3-5 games at most that I was interested in playing from this whole video.
1:38:42 bookmark
Dude, Kenny is dead!
23:54 what is this "jam" thing?
Is a competition where many devolopers compete to make games in a short amount of time (Rarely more than a week)

Turn based combat isn't bad Ross. JRPG turnbased combat is what you should avoid.
He said at one point that he can tolerate turn-based combat if you can just blow through it, like most roguelikes for example.
H-has Ross always worn glasses?
No, the glasses wear him.
"let's check for music" and then listens to it for approximately 2 seconds or less. I don't think that's long enough to tell whether something sounds good or not
