      I mean, respawn did some bad decisions. But they worked in the cod4 campaign, they KNOW how to make good linear campaigns, they didn't do it in 1 because they were high or something. And the universe of TTfall deserved one, because it's an interesting setting. Like with Star Wars, only that EA is really dumb, or greedy or both at the same time.

    • @da_homunculus
      @da_homunculus 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Yeah, saw it coming. Combined with it being 20$ on the Steam sale (the only decent deal this winter imo,) the shock of Yahtzee actually having nothing but relatively minor gripes about the game was what drove me to buy it. Good decision, ended up as my GOTY 16 as well.

    • @benwasserman8223
      @benwasserman8223 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Dalton Reyburn Not for me. I still preferred Uncharted 4 as GOTY but this was definitely the best FPS campaign since Wolfenstein TNO

    • @siliusblack2836
      @siliusblack2836 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ben Wasserman Have you ever played Serious Sam, Earth Defense? Doom 4 just felt like them, just with more budget. And I hated the killmoves so much -,-. Leveldesign was cool and everything looked nice. The Upgrades are ok, but it really breaks the flow when you are searching for them. Weaponsfeeling and handling are very dumbed down because of the speed and many weps just feel mehh. Story was... I dont even remember the story, maybe it should have been funny or skipable. But all in all it lacks just variety in levelstructure: go here, search for upgrades, and go into a room with big bosses. It is ok, I guess, but really nothing to praise.
      Uncharted 4 was more of the same and while the second game had so many cool moments, this felt kind of boring. Yeah chars and dialogues are good, but story is boring and the fight as well. It just doesnt stand a chance against its predecessors.

    No Man’s Sky getting the “I’ll patch something better in later” line is very accurate.

      +Altitude^6
      I agree with you. The DXHR nonlethal weapons looked cool, and had interesting gameplay tradeoffs that made sense. Stun gun was good for close quarters, but was loud and had a single-shot nature. Tranq rifle was good for long distances and was silent, but had to use either player skill or the built-in targeting attachment thing to land perfectly arced shots for either stationary or moving targets. The DXMD versions were too n00by or less useful, IMO, because they functioned almost identically to their gun counterparts in both appearance and use. The new tranq is just like the sniper rifle, with less need for skill for arcing shots. The new stun gun lacks the ability to affect cameras and bots, so that's less cool.

    As much as Yahtzee rained on Doom's parade, it certainly was a spectacular game even if it got an easy win. It combined a faithful reboot of the game that started it all with modern technology to create a gory action-packed funfest that I absolutely adored playing whilst failing my classes. It was just a fresh reminder of everything that made video games fun. Hell, even the story was interesting despite its attempts to convince me that the story didn't matter because explosions and monsters. A bright spot in a otherwise disappointing year on so many levels, even in the video game industry

    • @godminnette2
      @godminnette2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      There's a lot of heart that went into it (no pun intended) and the incredible amount of detail in the game can baffle me. There's even things in the files to trip up hackers and cheaters and those trying to get spoilers. The blend of gameplay and narrative is something every game should strive for, it's the reason games are the best mediums for conveying emotion and messages, because they have the opportunity to directly make us feel emotion through our decisions in game.

    • @TwiIightWyvern
      @TwiIightWyvern 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Its a good game. Best game ever? Maybe not. But I still find myself thinking about it frequently (in no small part to the soundtrack) even almost year and a half later. That's more than I can say for a lot of games.
      It does this weird thing where it sinks into that nostalgic feel-good sensation like I had for FF6, Breath of Fire/2, Earthbound, Lufia 2 and Chrono Trigger, despite not having the 'history' to warrant nostalgia yet. Maybe its just because its my kind of game, with characters I like and can relate to, a story of sentimentality and empathy that resonated with me, a deft mix of humor hope and solemnity. To sit here and unpack everything I found special about the game would be a disservice to you or anyone else, because it is a personal experience and not everyone may feel the same, and trying to color your experience with my own may set up unreasonable expectations.
      I'm not going to pretend the game will or should appeal to everyone, though I do think its a good universal and accessible experience, especially to show what a decent game narrative can do.

      It is definitely a good game IMO. Bit short, and the graphics could be better, but the dodge mechanic is cool. Characters have great personalities, so it becomes all the more crushing if you decide to murder them, or satisfying if you manage to spare them. For the most part, it was only ruined by the addition of a fanbase so bad that it rivals FNAF.

      Or it was an experience that we can now remember fondly without the rabid fan base making us feel ashamed for a what was a pretty good game or the hispter contrarian edge-lords that constantly love to shit on it.
      Maybe now we can look back with clear heads and actually discuss how a four hour game made such a massive impact.

      +kingdancekiller I still don't understand all the praise it gets, I assume most of it comes from younger people who haven't seen this type of story done before. It's so preachy it borders pretentious and self indulgent and its attempts of humor are painfully bad. The gameplay isn't good either and it looks like shit even for a 'retro' 2D game.

    It feels like yesterday that Yahtzee was talking about his top 5 games of 2015. Also, did Devil's Third really come out in 2016?
