The Extremely Weird State Of Star Wars Video Games
While a lot of the new Star Wars games have been fun, they've been plagued with unusual problems across the board, if they ever actually get finished at all.

The First Ever Star Wars Book Was NOTHING Like The Movies
Переглядів 35928 днів тому
Splinter Of The Mind's Eye is one of the weirdest Star Wars books I've ever read. It was written in 1978, and sits in a distinctly different timeline than Empire Strikes Back, which would replace it as the official Star Wars sequel once the film became a financial success.

How Valheim Recaptures The Magic Of Survival Games
Переглядів 11 тис.2 місяці тому
Survival games have become one of the most popular genres, but it's a genre where many games share the same faults. Valheim seems to be ducking that trend, providing a unique experience that cleverly avoids the pitfalls of the genre while leaning into what makes survival games so great.
Why The Sequel Duels Make Sense
Переглядів 2,3 тис.2 місяці тому
Though there are certainly many legitimate criticisms against the Star Wars sequels, the comparative inelegance of the lightsaber duels actually helps establish that the potential these characters have is much more raw and under developed than the well trained characters we see in earlier eras of Star Wars.
Why More People Should Play Tabletop Battletech
Переглядів 7 тис.2 місяці тому
Ever since a first played Classic Battletech a year or two ago it's become my new standard I measure other miniature games against. It's cheaper, with less setup, more depth, and all of the appeal of the Mechwarrior games it inspired.

The Clone Wars Era Has A Massive Flaw
Переглядів 129 тис.3 місяці тому
Though there's no questioning that the Separatists are being mislead by some truly evil figures, the vast majority of Star Wars media tends to disregard the original framing of the Clone Wars in favor of painting the Separatist cause in a bad light. The CIS was largely formed of mistreated outer rim worlds who suffered from the war just as much as anyone in the Republic, and the lack of Separat...
The Finals Is The Best Shooter In A Decade
Переглядів 7703 місяці тому
Though the hype for the Finals has trailed off, the game continues to impress me, and while the dev team certainly has their work cut out for them this is arguably the most interesting new shooter to come out within the past 5 years. I don't think the game is dying and I can't wait for Season 3.

    I loved CIS right after AotC. They were my favourite faction for a while, before becoming joke of themselves. But I did not have access to much media back then, so it was mostly my imagination what they could be from few lore snippets.

    The problem with the Mechwarrior PC games (that I played all until now), is today they feel more like playing COD with a exo-steel suit that can do jaw defying physic moves that are too fast and physicly impossible to perform with so much weight involves, than actually playing 100t giant robots that moves and turn like tanks do in World of Tanks. That's the problem with the franchise and the reason I didn't play Mechwarrior Online. IT DOESN'T FEEL like you are in a BattleMech. Edit: And yes, the Battletech PC turn based game is the best of all of them - that I still play today with over 700+ hours in it since 2020. We really need at Battletech 2, but with all the stuff that is going on, the chances are feint. I just can't believe there are people out there that own the IP and do actually nothing with it.

    That's why I currently stick to older SW Games, love to replay them... If I want some fresh air I'll get a party together and Play some Boardgames oder Run a Campaign... I'm glad we have a Star Wars TCG Again, but not I'm worried about it's future... It's nothing to compare with videogames... But it's nice to bring star Wars fans together at our LGS and play some old school Tabletops:) Have you any experience at Saga or FFG? Maybe make a video about it? I'd be interested in your opinion:)

    With how big Star Wars is as a franchise there's just so much room for innovation and experimentation especially when it comes to their games. For example Jedi: Fallen Order wasn't ground breaking or anything but rather than being a cheap attempt at mimicking other souls-likes, it did enough to stand out and felt like a unique take on the genre, which was improved upon even more in Jedi: Survivor. Even just a slight change to the formula felt so refreshing and I can only imaging how amazing it'd be if Disney did learn something from Visions especially if they were to implement something like Riot Forge (RIP).

    • @CommanderCodyChipless
      @CommanderCodyChipless День тому

      ​@@kingorange7739in some ways I agree too, but why I would disagree is that for a company to make a game like that would be a risk. Not because it's hard to make, but that people think that indies make a lot of money but they really don't. They don't appeal to most gamers, only a small group and so it's a risk in that a company just wouldn't make enough money to make more projects. We see that with the Little Nightmares series, Hollowknight, dead cells, etc. All games that had to be released for free on subscriptions. And it's because people want to spend money on things that they can get the most out of. The next big title instead of a smaller title.

    It is sad how much the legacy of Star Wars games have been tainted over EA's singular blunder. I sincerely hope Battlefront breaks its Third Game Curse and we one day get a true successor to live up the Star Wars universe in a way we can all love.

    hey thanks for playing! I appreciate the feedback. A lot of the UI is already on the chopping block with the downtime interface being my highest priority. The story behind the double munitions vendor button is actually a quick fix for the game not effectively communicating there was limited ammo and how to get more. The ammo mechanics were received a lot better when players were properly prepared for them.

    As someone who never engaged with Mechwarriors whatsoever, my big takeaway from trying to get into the series is ... I hate the designs. At least in MW5 Mercs all the mechs are downright ugly to me, but not in the cool industrial way. I'm probably in the minority there, and it likely stems from my preference for Armored Core designs. Idk the MW mechs just look like toys that someone tried to make look beat up

    I really liked hawken back in the day, however I was also already locked into blacklight retribution at that time which if I remember correctly had just released the first weapon recoil re-work before the ps4 release and that was so good that it locked me in for a while there, until it was left behind chasing that playstation money though that parity patch I swear killed it for me, all that work on that recoil rebalance was thrown completely out the window for something significantly worse. By the time I was actually ready to play hawken it was already in decline and it was a shame. It did a lot right if you liked a more arcade style approach to mech games.

    The problem is that Filoni conplelty butchered the character of Grievous and failed to understand the entire point behind, and history leading up to, the seperatist movement and the CIS. Basicly speaking, the republic were not the good guys here. They already were closer to an empire even before Episode 1. And yet Filoni somehow portraied the CIS (who are heavily underepresented and exploited) as the bad guys while the republic are the "rebels". The excuse that it is a "childfriendly" or "lighthearted" series, as some try to defend him, is also completly nullified because he has shown us that he can created deep and "brutal" moments. But sadly he has shown no deeper interest in Star Wars and it lore. Basivly he just wanted to smash his action figures together.

    I would love another Battletech game but HBS (the studio that made it and is known for good storytelling) has parted ways with Paradox as Paradox isn't interested in any platform now they can't sell the nth amount of dlc on. Unfortunately they've retained the rights to both Battletech and Shadowrun from the developer so we won't be seeing anymore games in that vien (or of that calibur) anytime soon.

    In the mid ‘90’s, there was a store called Virtual World, which had several “cockpit” setups, where you and your friends would go on a flight in a mech and battle other mechwarriors. It was expensive…for the time and my level of income, but it was a blast. They had another game that was a racing game on Mars, which was fun, but I liked the Mechwarrior game way better.

    It needs to have animated mechs that look like tge originals. Actual use of ducking and crouching. Tge year is 3031 and these things move like remote controlled ro ot toys from radio shack in 1995. 😂😂😂. Melee is a joke in mw5. And it has no clan wars to this day😂😂😂 it needs to be far less resttictive. These restrictions and blocky dorky moving lugs are garbage. We need a real moving fluid and fluent animation on each mech, plus you have to bring back betty voice. Stop focusing on the stupid jerking cockpit movement and garbage arms in a stuck position and make them live like the year 3000 instead of some garbage steam punk crap. Also stop catering to outsiders who ruined these ideas. The mechs should look like the originals and move in a fluid motion; raising arms and grabbing with fingers, hold guns and swords, and such. This stupid lego movement is just lazy. Make the first real game. AND STOP MAKING TRAVEL SO EXPENSIVE AND EVERYTHING SO DAMN HARD NO ONE CAN PLAY IT. THE TRAVEL VS PAYOUT IS OUTRAGEOUS WHO WOULD DO THIS STUFF AS A PRIVATE MILITARY FOR 10K. IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE NOR THE TRACEL TIME. TO COMPLETE MW5 IT TAKE 55 TO 75 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR A GARBAGE GAME WITH GARBAGE WEAPONS TGAT SOUND STUPID. AND THE 4 ONLY MECH DROPS ARE STUPID AND THE ONE ONLY LEOPARD ARE STUPID AND YOU CANT CALL THE LEOPARD FOR BARRAGE OR USE VEHICLES OR USE HAVE AN ACTUAL ARMY WITH TROOPS. THE DEVS SUCK. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO HIRE PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE THIS WORK BUT THEY ARE SO CHEAP AND THEY RUIN EVERYTHING. PLUS THE SAME SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVERY MISSION. EITHER LET ME PLAY SOMETHING OR DONT HAVE MUSIC AT ALL. ALSO THE 100 SECIND WAIT TO FIRE A WEAPON, WAY TO TURN THE AXTION DOWN AND MAKE IT A PISTOL DUEL FROM THE 1600'S. LAME AZZ DEVS

    I believe the reason why the separatists are seen as so bad and never centred in the show is cause Clone Wars is supposed to be a Republic war propaganda show, just like radio and TV broadcasts during WW2. That's why there's the war speech at the beginning, that's why the republic almost always wins, that's why Grievous sucks even though he is still talked about like he is a deadly Jedi killer.

    • @kingorange7739
      @kingorange7739 6 днів тому

      I’ve heard this statement before by problem and while the intentions behind the explanation is good, it doesn’t hold up when actually put under scrutiny. Mainly that the show portrays elements no Republic propagandist would know about, nor would it portray figures like Palpatine in a negative light.

      My gut reaction is that the deck is stronger than it was before the bans, but ultimately I haven't played enough post ban to say anything concrete. Amalia was a horrid matchup but Sorin was beatable, so it really just comes down to which decks float to the top of the meta in their absence. Greasefang is making a resurgence, which is also not a great matchup for Rhinos, but I'm seeing some other decent matchups becoming more prevalent so we'll see.

  • @ButchersNailsEnjoyer
    @ButchersNailsEnjoyer 11 днів тому

    I still think the seperatists for the most part are more bad than good. For one the rebellion isn’t a direct transition from the seperatists like republic to empire and they dont use a lot of their stuff despite there being a lot of droids still available, they were just ordered to shut down. And two rebels like Saw outright refuse to work with seperatists because of what they did during the clone wars even though they face a common enemy. I always saw the CIS as more like the USSR during WW2, like they’re definitely not good but there’s definitely a more evil foe out there
