I don't mean to sound like a downer, but is that video meant for patrons only? It's unlisted and all.

What EA wants from BFV is to get people into it's subscription service Origin Access on PC. If you try to buy BFV through Origin you going to have to pass two screens about joining Origin Access until you actually see what the game costs. It seems to have worked too, a lot of people are playing BFV via Origin Access instead of buying it.

Expect the same thing with Anthem in a couple of months.

This is probably a really dumb question but, does that method make them more money in the long run because they hope people will subscribe and just stay subscribed?

"We do know from our EA Access experience and our Origin Access experience for non-frontline titles that we find people play twice as many games for twice as long and spend twice as much money as they did outside, or before they joined the subscription. That's what led us to believe that frontline titles would be also very advantageous to the subscription, as well as help drive new users into the system."

This is from the CEO of EA. So yeah this model is making them more money in the long run, than people buying the game. It also gets you into their other games. After all they are "free" so you joined for BFV why not try Star Wars Battlefront or Anthem, or whatever.

It's so weird that such a model works. I guess that's why Amazon is so desperate for me to sign up for their music service for just 99 cents or how Netflix/Hulu really want me to try their services for one month free!

It makes me happy that Nihon Falcom are fine with fans uploading their music onto youtube and actually bothers to sell their games' albums. It maybe helps that Nihon Falcom's music team is in-house as well.

I might be wrong and this isn't what you're looking for but isn't there an option in both the browser and app version of twitter at the top where you can change it from only seeing latest tweets from those you follow instead of top tweets? I've always had mine on latest tweets and have never seen anything other than the tweets and retweets from accounts I follow.

I've also been enjoying this channel that goes through Virtual Boy, NES, SNES, and Game Boy games (probably more that I missed).

Here's one I recommend, a thorough look of VB's Jack Bros!

Jeremy Parish has been a mainstay on "old game talky" internet for nearly 20 years to the point that you can just hear the sheer "Yes, I've been talking about stuff like this for that long, I am VideoGame Dad" from any time he makes a pun for every single video he makes. I found it kinda relieving that he's been slowly realizing that at this rate, reviewing every single Nintendo game like this would outlive him so he's been doing stuff like pairing games that all fit a certain standard or release or admitting he probably won't finish the series on this week's video.

(Specially when his last video had The Three Stooges game on it, and when you make like, the 60th hour to two hours long video on NES/FDS games something snaps on your head.)

I've really been enjoying his Virtual Boy videos as well as some of the other game boy and NES titles that aren't talked about as much. Even when he talks about a game that he doesn't like, he still talks about it in an interesting and informative way.

I had confused this game with Alien Trilogy. Pretty neat game, even if it sounds soul crushingly difficult.

So a while ago I think I mentioned Nintendo Works getting near to Deadly Towers. Now, this is a bit of a special review as Jeremy Parish was from the same crop of Internet Video Game humor people of the late 1990's, and that game is kind of a punching bag then of some level of deserving to be one. However these overviews are both fair and kind, being only really harsh when the game is honestly a stinker, like how Doctor Sparkle's Chrotendo only started swearing when he got to wonders like the Three Stooges game.

This was a pretty enjoyable video. Even with him going on about the game's bad points, it was interesting to hear the game's mechanics instead of just saying how it's the worst thing ever or whatever.

Anyone familiar with this one? Videos seem legit.

Their video on the "eight spiders" is really interesting.

All this talk of Wolfenstein reminds me of the 2009 Wolfenstein game on the Xbox 360 that no one except me played and it was loving awesome. It was like Return to Castle Wolfenstein meets Bioshock. Super underrated imo.

I remember enjoying this game a lot. I'm glad to have a boxed pc copy.

Lately Jeremy Parish has been bleeding views, which is somewhat sad to hear as his update schedule is synched with other major gaming channels, and he happened to post the latest vid riiiiiiiiiiight when Civvie dumped his 1 hour Daikatana video.

https://twitter.com/gamespite/status/1263195878388649985

If anything, the most obscure gameboy releases are sometimes his best videos since its him trying to squeeze some level of entertainment and excitement from "Battleship, but for Gameboy and a kicking soundtrack"

That's sad to hear. I always watch his videos as soon as possible. I love hearing about game titles I've never even seen before.

It's weird to see him be sincere or at least I assume he was at the end. The way he talks makes me think every word of his is sarcastic or ironic.
