      ​@@Kevstreehouse Well in that case, have a lifeguard ready because there's a LOT i'm going to throw at you :P I'm going to mention them mixed between ones that are already out and ones yet to release. Starting with some of my personal favourites/ones that mean a lot to me: - Soulstice. Bit of a cheat since it's not an indie, but it's one that does deserve a lot more attention due to its quality, contents and production value) In the genre of Darksiders, DMC, Bayonetta, etc. Lot to offer with characters, story and gameplay with all the weapons, enemies and bosses. Has its divisive parts for sure but no worse than the kings of the genre like the DMC games have had. But its identity is all its own. - No Straight Roads Mix of boss-centric hack-and-slash/beat-em-up and a rhythm game. - Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Zeno Clash prequel-- meaning it's a unique beast to describe, set in a colorful monster world with fantastic atmosphere. Really good writing, music, voice acting, art direction, nothing like it. Customizable melee martial arts combat that God Hand and Absolver fans could find interesting. - My Familiar Turn-based RPG with inspirations from the Mario & Luigi games for gameplay. Great style, lots of weird creatures and nice atmosphere. Has a demo - Cookie Cutter. Awesomely hand-drawn 2D animated Metroidvania with combat emphasis. Simply a very solid game by someone that wanted to make a world that's just... something all its own. There is a lot more planned for the future too, provided support can allow for it. (Warning, Cookie Cutter can get pretty out-there and provocative, which has turned some people off) Has a demo. - Magenta Horizon: Neverending Harvest Absoltue phenomenon of an action game. Going woefully under the radar. Game of quality, set in a colorful near psychedelic prog rock take of the afterlife, with a LOT to offer for both the player character and the enemies. (over 60 enemies and bosses, with only two or so palette swaps) (Warning, the difficulty even on the second difficulty level, may "Filter" you. It is a very tough one) The entire act 1 of 3 is out as the demo. - Zet Zillions Pretty fun roguelike deckbuilder where you can overpopulate your enemies. Really striking style and fun voice acting. - The Midnight Walk by the devs of Lost in Random. First-person horror/dark fairytale game fully made with physical props for characters and environments, like stopmotion. Set in a world where the sun was taken away and a clay pot-headed boy carrying fire is your companion. - Loco Motive One of the most solid point-and-clicks i've played in the recent years. - IMMORTAL: ANd the Death that Follows Hindu-mythology inspired Dark Fantasy game. Roguelike 2D action-platformer beat-em-up. It's a mouthful, so apologies for that, but well worth your time. Currently on kickstarter. Now for others! - Decline's Drops 2D action platformer with Smash-inspired fighting moves and more planned for throughout this year. - BLUD Top-down adventure game - The Eternal Life of Goldman AWESOMELY hand-drawn 2D platformer with an elderly treasure hunter/adventurer - Prim Point-and-click - Pirofauna By the dev of Papetura, seems to be a puzzle game made out of paper - Phonopolis upcoming game by Amanita Design (Samorost series, Machinarium, Happy Game, Chuchel) - Judero Handcrafted stopmotion action/adventure game inspired by Scottish mythology - Mashina upcoming game by the Judero dev, on kickstarter. - Bad Boro Top-down cartoonish beat-em-up soulslike - Ratshot 2D cartoonish rat mobster platformer - Promise Mascot Agency Disgraced yakuza in a world where mascots are living creatures needing to atone for a transgression - Symphonia 2D music-themed platformer, no combat at all. - Kraino Rebirth Skeleman Metroidvania - RESISTOR RPG/racing game mix - Ruffy and the Riverside 3D puzzle platformer with 2D characters - Double Shake Mischief Makers and Tombi/Tomba!-inspired 2.5D game - Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo Top-down action adventure game with a bat boy that has a yoyo. - Lost in Random Unique mix of realtime action and deckbuilding - Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Isometric roguelike side-quel to Lost in Random. (this one came as a surprise) - Harold Halibut Kind of a stopmotion visual novel. Tough to recommend as an actual game. - Pillory turn-based RPG set in a world where emotions and moods are emphasized. - Connie and the Essence of Chaos 2D platformer by the person that made the unofficial Rayman Redemption remaster. Big influences from the Rayman series as a whole here. - Near-Mage Transylvanian folklore & wizardry point-and-click. (Fun fact, the idea of a wizard school is much older than Harry Potter. Look up the Scholomance and Solomonari). - Enenra Daemon Core Character Action/hack-and-slash game with cyborg ninja shenanigans - Genokids Character Action/hack-and-slash game with rock band vs aliens shenanigans - Mightreya Character Action/hack-and-slash game with mecha & superhero airplay shenanigans - Captain Blood Character Action/hack-and-slash game with pirate shenanigans. (originally a canceled xbox game!) - Yasuke: A Lost Descendant Action adventure/hack-and-slash game with sci-fi ronin shenanigans - The Dungeon Experience By the Paradigm dev. Not sure what this is but it looks fun. - Jinn Hunter seems to be somewhere between a Soulslike and a Hack-and-Slash/Character Action game. - Iron Corbo 2D game about a martial arts janitor. - Pizza Kidd 2D cyberpunk beat-em-up - Rad Venture 3D platformer that will soon have a new kickstarter campaign. Rayman inspirations for the main character. *exhausted panting* And there may be a bunch more i'm forgetting but this is already a lot as is. I hope this list is interesting for you! Which of these games so far have caught your eye the most, if i may ask?

    From what I gather, while GamerGate did involve a lot of harassment aimed at people like Zoey Quinn, it also had a fair number of people who just disagreed with her without attacking her personally-basically just saying they thought she was wrong. For a lot of people, GamerGate was more about defending gaming against people who were seen as attacking it, which wasn't that different from earlier battles against conservative critics. This time, though, the critics were mostly feminists. I also think some of the "anti-GamerGate" crowd were hypocrites-many of them weren’t even really gamers, and some have even admitted it. But obviously, harassment is never okay, no matter who it’s aimed at. It’s worth mentioning that just because someone might be a hypocrite doesn’t mean they can’t be right about certain things. I do agree that some game characters are overly sexualized, and there should definitely be more representation for women and minorities in games. But at the same time, I don’t agree with people like Quinn, who call any kind of criticism bigoted. You can be right and still be a jerk about it. I also think critics of GamerGate often ignore the fact that there were people involved who weren’t sexist or hateful-they were just against some of the industry’s practices. And I agree with the point you made about companies using diversity and inclusion as a shield to deflect criticism. There’s a trend where if you criticize something like race-swaps in games, people will immediately label you as racist, which isn’t helpful. It feels like a lot of far-left people do this too, shutting down any disagreement by calling it morally wrong. One other thing I’ve noticed is that some game developers seem to think that if you don’t share their political views, you’re either evil or ignorant and need to be "taught the right way." Some even go as far as saying they don’t care what gamers think, as long as they’re pushing their agenda. I really don’t like that attitude-it feels like a disconnect between the creators and the people who actually play the games. Overall, I agree with a lot of what you said. It seems like actual criticism has gotten lost in all the anger, and we need to separate valid points from the emotional reactions that often take over.

    Im only halfway through the video and i really only play Minecraft or smash bros but as far as black samurai or pronouns in games go i feel like the general resentment is that it shows a “brand safe dont rock the boat typically left leaning American viewpoint” and when things are worried about being brand safe and sanitized they usually also make safe and sanitized products. Nobody freaks out over the black inkling or the mostly gender ambiguous Minecraft customizations because they aren’t relevant to the games themselves. Idk enough about the black samurai game to know why thats upsetting but nobody had the same complaints about afro samurai the tv show. I think the main issue is making a cool black character for the plot or making a character black for seemingly obvious marketing purposes is the main difference and it feels much more disingenuous from the developers side. Im not a nazi btw this is all observational

      Also weird side note while im out here RIFFIN! I feel like the pronouns thing in video games is a damned if you do damned if you don’t type thing where including both far right or left people’s interests, including pronouns or not can relay as if you are isolating either polar group. I think adding pronoun options as mandatory in the initial character customization would bug the far right, but having it as a regular in game option after gameplay has begun would be a way that could make everyone happy. Far right isnt forced to see it as it would bother them, and people who consider pronouns important still have a near immediate option to include pronouns as a part of general gameplay still have access to it.

      No I get you similar points are raised towards the end of part 2. Its not just a case of having unrepresented groups in a game thats only surface level representation as you pointed out. are you including these groups cause you realize and empathize with their lack of presence? Or are you still making a product thats predisposed to being white orientate and sticking a person of colour or other minority in it for an easy sale? its a case of intent. people can do seemingly good things for bad reasons. Intent is what matters at the end of the day.

      @@Kevstreehousefor sure! (I have 5 minutes left in the video) and i think what makes a great memorable character in any game has alot to do with 1) Simply be a part of a good game 2) Being distinct in literally any direction (goofy, smart, stupid) and fallible. 3) Have an identity that is splashable in other media Tomb raider doesnt feel like a feminist game, but everyone knows lara croft is an intelligent badass and being a British archaeologist is kinda just extra flavor text Mario can’t keep princess peach safe and is constantly going to wrong castles but being an Italian plumber is just kinda random and fun Its kinda crazy that there isnt a black character that stands out like this; since most prominent black characters belong somewhere in a series of games that uses one off main characters like gta or mafia or whatever but i dont think a new classic gaming icon cant be black but i dont find that most gaming icons come from games originally marketed towards children and most games marketed towards children use fuzzy animals or robots/machines or lego men with in my mind the only exception being mario. I dont think its impossible, in fact i think its inevitable that there will be prominent gaming icons spanning the human spectrum and likely within our lifetime but you are absolutely right that it is bordering on wild that it hasnt happened yet

    Sony Microsoft and a lot of third party companies are obsessed with following trends in recent years, look at live service games, the biggest company that Sony Microsoft and the third party companies are copying is Nintendo, the next 3D Mario game is not far away from releasing and it will most likely be a big open world game and it is very likely that gaming companies will copy that if that game is a success, and since it is 3D Mario it is a 99% for that game to be a success

      I dunno why but the idea of an open world mario I geniunely hate. I kinda prefer oddessys approach of more managemable and diverse biomes then one big world especially in a platformer

      @Kevstreehouse It's probably going to be a bigger and improved version of Bowser's Fury's gameplay formula, everyone hates new ideas at first but I'm pretty sure that Nintendo can make it work especially because they already proved it with Bowser's Fury, just more of that but better and you have a great game

      @@Shadow-Joop-157 suppose thats where I become the outlier as I didn't really care for bowsers fury. I dunno I think I just like a tighter focus in a platformer and as little down time as possible between me and the action. That said I like frontiers and thats open world adjacent so I'm probably not able to consider a nintendo style approach like that with mario. But then again if I could I'd be making games instead of doing this 🤣 So I guess I'll reserve my judgement and hope to be pleasantly surprised

      the only issue with that is the hardives of any kinda have a shelf life. You'd be better servered with a mini nas or something to hold them. That way if a drive fails the data isn't compromised as they always have a redundancy drive in them you can hot swap but that solution can be expensive and not everyone has the facilities for it and again it pushes the responsibility off the industry and onto the consumer which I feel is a little whack

    I don't agree with you at all when it comes to games pressing in bullshit stuff like genders. There are only 2 genders, and it is delusional to believe otherwise, just because a group of people exist with a certain opinion does not mean they are morally right or that anyone else have to follow them. For the racial inclusion i don't have much care. Because different races actually exists. But other genders than Male and Female does not exist. it's just delusion. What if a game about world war 2 included flat earth bullshit. What would you feel? Also, beautiful women makes for a better gaming feel, they also make men look handsome, i don't get what you are trying to get at.

Back in KH2, it's obvious that Attack Mods are much more reliable than Magic and you'll always use the right attack for the situation. But, like some others said; Re:Coded improved it.
