Sakurai Masahiro doing his best Kojima impression.
It's disingenuous when you talk about UBISOFT & don't talk about "SWEET BABY INC". If you speak about the subject NEVER MENTIONING that people are tired of the WOKE propaganda & LGBT+ stuff they're pushing (DEI), it actually looks like you're scared of them trying to "cancel you". PLEASE STAND UP FOR GAMERS. This is worse than NFTs, we could just avoid NFTs. But political propaganda from "marginalized pronouns groups" that confessed they want to ruin gaming CANNOT be avoided. Employees on the game industry are getting rejected because they're "not LGBT enough". Devs are being called "b1gots" because they didn't add flags in their games in June, etc. They cancel everyone that doesn't agree with them, like they tried to do to the Black Myth Wukong team. Please, if you really care about games, mention the subject, raise awareness. Don't turn a blind eye
Imagine being Australian and not covering anything gaming related from Australia.
The Spider-Man PC announcement implies that the DLC isn't happening
So dumb. The Lost Crown was so good. So fun. I played one Assassin's Creed and that's all I'll ever need to play of that
10:00 that's why you gotta do it like halo battle pass, you can literally buy old battlepass no matter the season you're in, and play the old season in the year you want. Same happens in other games like Deep Rock Galactic. This should be IN ALL THE GAMES
Watch Sony bring back Concord as a free to play title in December. Would be hilarious to see it relaunch alongside their "Secret Level" Concord show… and then bomb again.
Still waiting for that Metaphor Refantazio review.
Give it to God and go to sleep brother
I'm continually impressed at game publisher's inability to learn from the history of their own industry. How are we here in 2024 still overloading the market with MMO/live service games? Have we not had a long enough history of failed late comers to whatever genre of online game is hot to make them stop and think, "Hmm maybe lets not make another battle royale with the same art style as Fortnite?"
1:35 Most aimbots use on screen information. In a game where the enemies are in total darkness 99% of the time it be fairly useless. It be a very small increase to kills, if any.
At least until the more advanced aimbots that use data packets and/or game code are made.
I get that they have to change something when making a third person hero shooter, but random builds and perks just seems like a really quick way to randomize the ability to actually win just by joining the game. Doesn't seem like the kind of setup that will have any serious players or longevity.
The Masahiro Sakurai channel is truly inspiring mate. He did so much, asking for really nothing in return. Truly a legend!
One of the things that Live Service has completely failed to do recently is change up the formula. There is a HUGE market for people that want a more passive, or at least semi passive(ELDEN RING) online player experience. They constantly push these massive arpg titles that require constant action or teamspeak to be engaging, But there is a large part of the the customer base that will just never enjoy that, but love having drip feed multiplayer moments.
If I had a single wish granted by the video game fairy it would be that Red Dead Redemption 2, had this. An online component that you could chill out in in the west, occasionally go to a bar and get into a fight with an online player or come across them looting some old farmstead. Smaller instances, slower reveals.
Not yet had a toilet spider but we have had just about every other house spider, including shower spiders and a mailbox spider
I am so angry about The Lost Crown team being disbanded that I couldn’t even enjoy the snark. I got mad at you. To quote the professor brothers, “you know, I cursed your fucking heart today.”
I didn’t actually do that. But of all the shitty things Ubisoft has done, for some reason this is the one that has really gotten to me. This game was the one glimmer of hope that Ubisoft of old could be returning, crawling out of the pile of ashes that is Ubisoft of the past ten years…
But no. Didn’t sell enough in the first two weeks so the team is dead. Oh and also the second game would cannibalize the sales of the game you didn’t think sold well in the first place?! What?!
Your Silent Hill 2 review was the only video of yours I’ve ever watched that did nothing for me, I didn’t come away knowing whether it was actually a good game or it’s own merits or not, it was just endless comparisons to the original all the way down to dialogue choices. Like did you once even cover the music?. I had no desire to play the original back in the day, so the review had huge ten minute chunks of content of no context to me and millions of others.
28:09 "no way to defend yourself against the guy with the scissors" proceed to smash that guy with a shovel lol.

Longtime MechWarrior fan; currently playing and really loving MechWarrior 5: Clans! A lot of negative reviews on Steam are lamenting the performance issues, not so much the game itself. However, I haven't had any problems with performance after their early patches, so I would recommend to check it out!
nintendo – tryna do minecraft… sue em
A pleasant surprise to watch the Put This on Your Radar segment, and see its a game your friends made
15:37 it will fail because Nintendo's online services are the absolute worst in the industry
unless they fix that ASAP, any sort of online only game they put out is doomed to fail
With that news about the God of War adaption, I'm not saving any hope for whatever comes out
This is Ascending inferno… this is Ascending inferno
Subnautica 2 won't be out until at least 2027, probably 2028. – They're doing the Early Access bullshit, so if you're getting in on that, expect to be a paying (not paid) play-tester once again. It kinda ruined the first game for me, to be honest, even though I quite love it. – They just shouldn't be doing this now that they're a well-established studio with lots of resources. – I just don't care about this announcement because it's for a game that will be finished in 2-3 years from now. – People bitch about the likes of Bethesda and Ninja Theory doing it (announcing games too early), why is any other studio exempt from that?…
18:41 – First of all, I don't know how "expensive" Charlie Cox is. I mean… it's not like he probably costs millions upon millions to hire. – But also, you shouldn't think that they have like a fixed salary or something. Sometimes these people don't mind to just do interesting projects for a fair wage, because these people want to work and sometimes have to depending on their lifestyle. – Don't forget that Andy Serkis has done plenty of "smaller" projects after "TLotR", even though he was the next big thing in terms of motion/performance-capture. Again, these people usually love their work and just want to do stuff, and while they're CAPABLE of asking for a lot of money, they don't always just do that just because they can. – Let's not pretend that CD Projekt paid top dollar for Keanu Reeves just because he's Keanu Reeves. – I mean, Keanu didn't have to do that, but he did, while he could've done a different project for probably a LOT more money. – But he doesn't need it, he just wants to live life and do stuff while he still can.
29:57 the rare goof misses the edit.
17:17 Advanced Warfare 2?!
if concord revival follows the same character design, ill be skipping it again without a second thought.
I'm so fed up with modern gaming. Due to graphical diminishing returns games look about the same as they did 10-15 years ago. The only difference is they are now increasingly filled with unattractive woke characters. Sigh. Games used to feel fresh, pretty and fun.
Might be quite risky, but how awesome would it be to create a pure PVP game that pits multiple Sony properties against each other in a PVP only game that pitted players who were devoted to various different franchises to go up against each other? Can you imagine? Destiny characters could go up against other Sony property PVP characters in an arena to prove who was the best…. that would be sweet
