I’d have to watch it again but a lot of it was “Rafe was being fine until Nate and Sam came in and blew things up”. Also not understanding why Rafe wouldn’t just take the deal at the end

Dude, Rafe in the prologue loving murdered the dude that they were working with when he found out they were holding out on them instead of just giving him a bigger cut and basically hosed things up even more.

Not to mention, thematically, Rafe may as well wear a shirt that says "I am the natural endpoint of Nate's obsessions getting in the way of his own happiness". Sam too, arguably to a point.

Also, I need to play Lost Legacy sometime.

sorta. I went to loving lucas ranch and the archives because of make a wish(give to them they are awesome) with one of my best friends. it was loving amazing and we saw and hosed around with the props. i posted pictures years ago on a old 4chan /tv/ thread and i still need to dig up the cd, it was at least 11 or so years ago and i would do it again in a heart beat. its weird because i dont HATE the prequels. i just find them bad and super disappointing. i like that lucas tried to do something new and i will always be thankful to him for making the movies because those movies and the toys helped me through a ton of medical poo poo and it has brought me some of my best memories. that being said disliking the prequels or disliking stupid stuff in TLJ, didnt kill my childhood and i find it dumb when people say that poo poo. i mean i am still a fan, just not a creepy scary one.

I grew up with the prequels and hated them. The prequels were so dull and stupid that I have never developed any kind of appreciation for Star Wars. I pretty much resent the franchise at this point, because they will not stop making them and putting them out and going "aren't you nostalgic for this? Aren't you nostalgic? Aren't you? Aren't you?"

Me and a friend tried to watch the Force Awakens when it came out, but 1) Kylo Ren looked so stupid that we couldn't help laughing after he took off his mask and we could not take him seriously and 2) the bad guys destroying the entire loving Republic offscreen in one second killed any possible interest in the stakes of the movie. Oh good, the good guys are now left fighting hard to protect some dust in space, after they were completely defeated in seconds, and everything that everyone did in the original trilogy was basically pointless.

The fact that Star Wars is Disney's new cashcow drives me crazy. You can't escape it, everywhere you turn there's some new mediocre Star Wars IP staring you in the face.

e: the post above this one didn't exist while I was writing it lmao. I don't have a problem with Star Wars fans, I just think the franchise sucks.

I gave the Mario Odyssey vid by that Joseph Anderson guy an honest shot since I thought the game was decent but not as good as people said so I thought maybe I'd enjoy it but what I was met with was like 2 hours of nonsensical points and garbage. He gets angry that the postgame Moons are just going back to the previous worlds to do new stuff, and then in another point of the video talks about how SMG2 is the best game ever because you can replay the game but as Luigi, doing the same stuff but with extra coin placement or whatever. I think he spends so long making his videos he completely forgets things he said and just contradicts himself constantly.

it’s just weird because it was the only starwars related thing released for such a long time that wasn’t like completely garbage or painfully mediocre

did this manifest as anything other than making fun of people who tried to deflect their criticisms of the movie with "but it subverts your expectations" because that's all i remember seeing them do in other videos

Yeah. I generally think his stuff is "okay" but those two videos are some serious :psyduck: stuff. He has the most unhealthy view of what a reviewer and a review is.

"I can't formulate an opinion on this game unless I do 100% of everything or else I won't see the complete picture."

The Breath of the Wild and Odyssey videos are critiques, not reviews. If it were a review, it would be a lot shorter and say that Breath of the Wild is the best (or second best, I can't remember) game he played in 2017. He formed his opinions on his first playthrough, where he was just trying to play the game as intended and not get everything.

Him devoting time to a second playthough allowed him to explain a lot of things that bothered me when I was playing the game, like breaking down why combat fell apart the further I got from the tutorial or why the shrines varied so wildly in quality.

Can't defend the guy on Silent Hill though

If you want to watch people talking about video games for ridiculously long amounts of time I like Noah Caldwell-Gervais. He's just a dude who drives around the American Southwest a lot and plays video games. I can't say I've ever heard an argument from him that I thought was stupid and he's gotten me to check out games like Dying Light that I ended up liking a lot.

Yeah the only game he's covered that I didn't like was Red Dead Redemption 2 (the gameplay feels actively player hostile, imo) and yet I loved his critique of it since he both points this out and talks about how the game does absolutely nail the atmosphere and tone it's going for.

he actually talks about that feeling and how once you realize what the game is going for, it kinda clicks. RDR2 is my GOTY and kinda still is. i can see why people bounce off of it though because i bounced off Death stranding hard for similar reasons.

It's funny because I finished Death Stranding and enjoyed the gameplay of it despite how tedious it can get. It just has a really good addictive gameplay loop if it clicks for you.

Meanwhile, 3-4 hours in and RDR2 mostly just pissed me off. I LOVE what I've seen of the story, but the insanely tightly scripted missions plus the overdone babysitting of the survival/sim elements soured me to the point I'm probably never going back to it.

RDR2 is very in every single aspect except being a fun game to play moment to moment. Which is unfortunately what you spend most of the game doing.

see, i found the sim stuff so much worse in DE than rdr2. most of RDR 2 stuff is ignorable as long as you buy food and poo poo.

And as mentioned before he was able to be super deep about Clive Barker's Jericho, which is a game that actively impedes your fun at every turn (which I find Rockstar games also do, but they have more polish and radio stations).

The Mandalorian feels like Disney gave a budget to some of the fan-film makers, and I say that as a big complement.
