Get that bread Finn. Raid is funding massive amounts of UA-camrs, good on you for cashing in.
have not played Elden ring, but heard it is unfair in the end game, where is fire giant, should I bother playing it when I get there or not
I met the guys in grand theft auto really cool dudes
Finn McKenty: Don't waste your time on video games, guys!
Also Finn McKenty:
This Video is sponsored by RAID Shadow Legends!
😂 No hate intended, love you, Finn!❤
Typical UA-camr, just a bunch of hypocrites who only wanna serve the “woke” crowd now. This dudes been a joke.
It's almost like he's an empty corporate shill who doesn't actually believe in anything.
Finn has made a career out of triggering fanbases and also making great points about the music industry and I’m here for all of it 🔥🔥🔥
it's we can't help but love em. Finn is the goat
I don't even think it's really triggering. I think he gets a kick out of being a contrarian at times. Pretty masochistic, imo, but I'm not gonna kink shame him.
Wow what an accomplishment
Same 😂
It's so great when finn makes videos that aren't normal for him, i love the gaming videos! Great content as usual.
Dude open world games today are just a contest of far the devs can spread the fun out. Only 10% of the map actually has something to do. I only have a few hours a week of spare time, I'm not trying to ride 45 real life miles on horseback to get to the next quest and find 50 question marks along the way. Perfectly reasonable scores on games that could have been great.
I dont think I've seen a tier list where I disagreed with every single addition to it like this one
Cyberpunk feels for me like the greatest RPG of the decade. It revolutionizes the mechanics of side quests, character development and without any doubt lays emphasis on ones decisions. One can discover the game anew simply by changing V's origin.
New Vegas is amazing specifically because it wasn't made by Bethesda, but by the old Black Isle team that went on to form Obsidian. They know their own franchise better than Todd Howard ever could, and proved it by churning out that masterpiece in less than two years.
I remember seeing Pertubator play a set right after Between the Buried and Me at a festival, would love to see more bands do these types of tours, makes for great variety rather than 3-4 hours of a few bands that all sound too similar.
Definitely don’t miss a Bilmuri show then, you’ll get plenty of variety 🤘🏻
Today I found out Finn and I have drastically different tastes in video games.
It really saddens me with how far technology has come for games and STILL they haven’t been able to recreate an open world game like FONV. I still replay it to this day even though I know everything about it, but goddamn it’s just so good.
Stardew valley is S tier for me. My husband and I played co-op all throughout lockdown and it helped us stay sane. Such a wholesome game. Can't wait for haunted chocolatier to come out.
did the same thing with my girlfriend, full blown lockdown farming 14 hours a day. To bad that i cant beat the prairy king to platinum it ;(
It´s S Tier for sure.
As a kind of a methadone we started to play Sun haven which is also a pretty good game.
BOTW is an incredible game, but the breaking mechanic is annoying as fuck. Also not a fan of certain mechanics like slipping off a mountain when it rains or getting struck by lightning when a metal weapon is out. Still great though.
This guy tastes for games is not bad, but not good. I will put you on C tier
Go into the Sega/Nintendo games of the 90s on your next one. You probably came of age right at the zenith of Genesis vs SNES, which is my favorite era of gaming by far. I was a SNES kid, obsessed with Square and Enix JRPGS, but there was still plenty to love outside of those games.
Finn, much like you’ve warned people about the metal community, it’s time to pay it forward and warn you about giving your opinions online about video games. Nothing but bad things come with this. Good video and tier list though!
Oh I’m expecting the worst lol
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA lmao, what I love about you is even if I disagree wildly with some of your takes, you own it and I respect that. More people need to be like that. After all, no matter what you say, someone is gonna be upset regardless lol
My feathers have been ruffled...
Just the way I like it xD
Interesting perspective and highly entertaining just like my love for numetal :D
Oblivion has aged so horribly, but it is still so much fun to go back to and play. The NPC dialogue never fails to make me laugh. Easily has the best guild quests, especially the Dark Brotherhood.
Oblivion is goated. I don’t even mind efficient leveling. Even if you mess up you still won’t have to turn down the difficulty
100% agreed, seventeen years later I'll still fire it up and have a blast with the mods. Skyrim I played three times and haven't touched since 2015..
I actually just went back to playing Morrowind lol.
The thing with Oblivion is I hate Oblivion gates. They're so annoying and repetitive, and I groaned whenever the game threw one on top of me when I was minding my own business. Dragons in Skyrim are also annoying once you're so powerful that they don't pose any challenge, but at least you could dispatch them much more quickly
@@hrotha That's why I learned my lesson during my first play through in '06.. stay the fuck away from Kvatch. 🤣
Finn, as a casual music fan I've loved your content. Never concerned w/ what you do w/ your lists.
Video games though... now you're entering my realm of passion.
I look forward to watching and having internal heated dialog w/ your opinions haha
Holy fuck you play Cave of Qud. Fucking love it. Love rogue-likes. Did NOT see that one coming.
Ruffle feathers? How could he possibly ruff-
"botw at c"
Welp now my feathers are gone..
Skyrim isn't my favourite but no way its below S tier. Its still being played, they updated it for ps5 even. The longevity is extremely impressive
Id say skyrim is atleast a B especially because of the easy mod support. The fact im able to mod the game so much on a console is game changing
didn't start the video but i have a feeling that cyberpunk 2077 will be disrespected a lot...
EDIT: of course it went to F 😪
I don’t really have the kind of time I’d like for video games these days, which is why I rarely go for open world anymore. I am having more fun with games that can be knocked out in 10-20 hours max.
I keep forgetting you're a gamer haha fun stuff I love when you do stuff like this, I'll be playing the remake for Resident Evil 4 this weekend, rock on Finn!
Oblivion over Skyrim is a very very based opinion
Cyberpunk is A tier for me, mostly based on the writing and the smart weapon feel
Cyberpunk feels for me like the greatest RPG of the decade. It revolutionizes the mechanics of side quests, character development and without any doubt lays emphasis on ones decisions. One can discover the game anew simply by changing V's origin.
I'm not even going to watch the video before saying, "I disagree Mr. Mckenty, pshaw."
I would've invented electric cars if Fallout was never created
I bought cyberpunk 2077 specifically because of edgerunners. Whoever came up with the idea to make a show connected to the game, should get a raise. 9/10 show, still haven’t completed the game.
As a small songbird, I am in molting season, so my feathers were not ruffled by you today. Sorry, try again another time.
I love the fact that THPS2 was in the thumbnail and it is absolutely S tier hands down
I lost interest in gaming in '95 after my mom took my SNES due to very bad grades. Good on mom, too, cuz I sure didn't need to be a game nerd AND a music nerd.
Anyway, you should do a tier list of older games or, better yet, arcade games!
I fully agree about Saints Row the Third having the perfect amount of silliness and Saints Row IV going too far, but that first mission in SR4 with the nuclear missile and Aerosmith was absolutely god tier, as was the Christmas DLC
One of my absolute favorite gaming moments is in Fallout: New Vegas. If you shoot the Hoover Dam war memorial while this guy is looking at it, he'll confront you, saying you're being disrespectful and his brother died in the Battle of Hoover Dam. You can give a response back that says "you're a little bitch, and your brother was, too," starting a fight. It's hilarious. Playing that game as an evil character is fucking awesome.
Skyrim on the B tier we starting this tierlist with the hottest of takes
Thank you someone who agrees the Bethesda games aren't amazing. Also referencing what we now call the ubisoft effect that has permeated 90% of open world maps with meaningless dull content. Elden ring is truly what the genre needed to get out of the rut it's been in for what it seems like over a decade. Just don't call Polaris but rock again it hurts my soul. Feel free to dump on Wage War though haha.
Watching this at Pax East. Perfect timing!
That is awesome, enjoy!
I put so much hours into Skyrim simply due to not having the internet in my apartment. Once I beat the main quest and and about 70% of the side quests I was honestly satisfied, and started playing Halo 4 instead. I LOVED GTA:SA, I feel like it had the perfect balance of nostalgia and good gameplay. I also feel that the controls was better suited for dual shock controllers. Not to mention the fantastic soundtrack, arguably the best out of the series. Vice City comes in a close second.
My favorite games are c tier games here. As we all know from Finn own logic: C’s are A’s and A’s are F’s😂
This is the list I've been waiting for
Imagine how awesome the Tony Hawk 2 soundtrack would sound coming from the dual speakers of the She’s All That white 9” Sony Trinitron CRT
I dont think you played Witcher 3 man. Each side quest has a good/deep story with hints in the game of what happened if you read the letters/books and listen to conversations. The world has cool politics that continue from Witcher 1 and 2, the characters continue from W1 and 2. Again side quests are better than the main quests and better than the story of most games. The game actually has good books behind it. The combat is very good actually, every sign counters an enemy or a couple of moves, for example igni burns monsters with fur, Yrden makes ghosts manifest, oils counter monsters like vampires and etc, potions like black blood make your blood acidic to vampires, so you can drink a black blood potion and let a vampire bite you. So signs/oils/concoctions are very good and shine or higher dificulties, i finished the game on death march on my second time playing. Sword fighting on a base level has 2 attack - fast and strong which are needed for certain enemies, golems for example require strong attacks, wolves are killed with fast attacks, they dodge strong attacks. For human sword fighting you can block and time deflects to decapitate them. So sword fighting is actually pretty deep and based around counters, also the talents give you more attack moves. Annnyywayyy its a very good game you clearly dont know it or played it 1 or twice, i finished it 3 times on harder dificulties and i had to actually use the mechanics of the game. Expansions are super good with great writing and extremely fun boss fights. All boss fights are great, did you fight any of the Wild Hunt bosses? There are 4 main Wild Hunt bosses all 4 are absolutely great fights.
s tier content as usual. i'd say my favorite games are river city ransom, kirbys adventure, gta san andreas, mario 3, simpsons road rage and knock out kings 2001.
Saints Row 2 blasphemy is real here. It had a better soundtrack as well
As a librarian I need to stress that video games are not a waste of time. Many compelling arguments comparing video games to great literature.
Reading fiction is often a waste of time too imo
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA Thanks for the reply Finn. Big fan of your channel! I'll state the obvious: everything in moderation. Also apparently cognitive science experts have posited that a lot of the time while doing things our society considers "a waste of time" our brain are actually doing important restorative work and building new pathways of understanding. That said - as a librarian - this isn't my field, so disclaimer there! Great List BTW.
I've never played Oblivion but it deserves the A tier on the basis of giving us the npc background music.
Agreed with every single one of your placements. Spot-on. Let the haters hate, but rest easy ignoring the boos, because you're right.
Well, I would've put Stardew Valley one tier higher personally, but that's the only place we differed, and that's entirely a personal taste thing, no hate whatsoever.
Been playing SR3 lately myself. It really was and is amazing! I never gave it enough credit
For breath, that was the point. It was supposed to be AFTER the calamity happened. They could have done the open world idea with more things to do and then move onto the events of TOTK
Hell yeah brother! I knew my boi Finn was and Elderscrolls/Fallout fan! Literally can't find anything wrong with this list.
as a guy your age, i was expecting more games from the 90s like the great FPS like duke nukem 3d or half-life
its honestly the same argument with the music industry. Just like how people are forgetting to write SONGS, developers are forgetting to make GAMES. Its supposed to be an escape for us! Elden RIng is a great example of that. Oh and Stalker 2, go play that. It's finally out.
We need to know where Raid ranks on this tier list!
My favorite part of the day is seeing what insane media takes Finn has
"You have to do normal farm chores like picking vegetables or you know going into the dungeon" lmao
If Metal Gear isn’t S tier I’m rioting
At this point, every single one of Finn's videos should have "this is gonna ruffle some feathers..." in the title 😂😭
‘I don’t think Geralt is a interesting character’
Heresy
"I can do a whole tier list of THPS games"
Me: PLEASE!!!
This was a fun one!
I don’t have much time to play video games so I want to make it count when I do. Just started looking at Elden Ring, so I’ll take this video as a sign to pull the trigger.
Have you ever played The Witch’s House? The gameplay and story complement each other really well to create a grim and captivating experience.
I am level 250 on Elden Ring. I was so traumatized by how hard the game was, I grinded with a vengeance to win. PvP forget it, I just sit down and accept being slaughtered.
The ironic thing is, Elden Ring is explicitly a BotW version of Dark Souls and the world is just as empty, but because it's "dark" and "adult" Finn ranks it S.
Final edit: The Hong Kong Massacre is a cooler version of Hotline Miami
Almost perfectly made list! Can't wait for the next one!
Cyberpunk > Skyrim
Breath of the Wild has to be the most overrated game of the 2010s. It's a very casual and shallow l open world/action RPG experience.
.......what
@@SupremeRGS did I stutter?
It's my least favorite Mainline Zelda title. Why does it have to have a damn sequel? I miss my traditional Zelda games with dungeons.
Finn, you rock man. Please do a retro game tier list!
Deftones fans look like Saints Row NPCs
I thought Finn would work Raid Shadow Legends into the list somehow. Missed opportunity
After hearing “Elden ring is so deep” with no explanation for the 100th time I’m convinced that players are mistaking uniquely edgy art styles for solid story telling.
The story barely exists. The depth is all in the world design and gameplay. Definitely don't play it for the story.
Nobody is talking about the story when they say it's deep.
Finn, you should do a tier list of all your tier lists! 🤌🏻
Can you make a pet tier list? I always wondered what your opinions on the multiple various domesticated animals would be.
The Finn take on tarantulas and box turtles are the crucial information I NEED in the year of our lord 2023
@@real30yearoldboomerhours53 I feel like the takes would be hotter than a supernova. I NEEEEED IT!!!!
Harvest Moon 64 was Stardew for boomers, still a great farming and dating sim lol
I'm glad someone else remembered that game. I always dated the vineyard chick who would drop an egg every other day,lol
You've got to do more videogame tier lists this tier list was S tier
"...imagine GTA but with serial killer vibes"
Doesn't everyone basically become a serial killer when they play GTA?
I like it, you and I have very similar takes on most these games. Thank you for calling out Skyrim lol. I love Bethesda and I do like Skyrim; but coming from Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim it sucked to see the "RPG" side of things sucked out of the formula like that. I'm a turbo-nerd when it comes to single player RPG's and Skyrim just ended up being more of an open world dungeon crawler than anything. They technically did the same thing with the Fallout IP, but I actually REALLY love Fallout 4. I think the open world FPS framework translates better to a more casual experience than the Elder Scrolls formula did.
I bought stardew at the end of 2019 when I was going through a rough time and needed a relaxing chill game to play. One of my favorites of all time, there's so much depth to it and almost every time I boot it up I find something new in the game. One of those games you can play for 15 minutes or 8 hours straight and it's always great.
Surprised raid shadow legends wasn’t S tier. “I didnt sellout, I bought in”
Caves of Qud getting some respect?
Nice.
That's some great taste, Caves of Qud A tier - I respect that.
I had zero hype for cyberpunk but my friends were playing it, so I got it a few months after launch, and had next to no bugs on PC. I enjoyed my time with it (100hrs) but haven't touched it since (apart from checking out my new GPU).
Surprised at how spot on this was. Happy to see people not afraid to call Breath of the Wild out.
I don't know if you've ever played The Last of Us, but I grew up with that game. It is one of my all time favorite games. I also think MW2 2009 is one of the best games ever made.
In Skyrim, I always went heavy weapon orc. FUSROHDAH for the stun, then just button mash attacks. Works most of the time, pepper in some arrows for dragons.
Given Finn's prior railing about how people should stop playing video games, this becomes "I made a bot read a bunch of video game reviews and compile a tier list," which then makes this video hilarious to me.
Except that railing never happened. You just reacted emotionally to the title of the video, not what I actually said.
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA I remember a video a while back of you saying video games are for kids and that we should do jiu-jitsu instead, but I could be mistaken. I still think this is hilarious though.
Yes, you are mistaken
Please do a Warhammer 40k games tier list while Hammerfall plays in the background for 8h.
Just kidding, i enjoyed this a lot.
This the same man who shit on Chick-fil-A, so I'm not surprised he dissed the Witcher like this.
YES! I will forever love GTA San Andreas the most out of the whole franchise. best story, great radio stations (even K-Rose), and an honestly groundbreaking game. i was blown away at how big that map was. i logged an utterly depressing amount of hours on that game. i think i'm gonna replay it soon, now that i think of it. i bought it for my PC a year or so back for 4 or 5 bucks and forgot i had it! also, Stardew Valley is my all time favorite video game...and i have been playing video games since 1987 or so. that game is fucking perfect. and this is coming from a guy that loves the DOOM and Wolfenstein franchises. Stardew Valley is absolutely incredible. I have a map of Stardew Valley above my computer desk.
“I’d rather play Skyrim”
*Todd Howard wants to know your location*
I mostly agree except for with BotW. I love the slow pace of the game and the truly “open” (if not mostly empty) world. It sort if feels like bushwhacking in the mountains to me, something I greatly enjoy doing IRL. The delayed gratification for somewhat dull tangible rewards is offset by the pure freedom of exploration and the experience of natural beauty. It’s boring in the most engaging way possible.
is there a more hype scene in a game then the rooftop attack in saints row 3 with power playing playing in the background. tons of fun
I keep getting triggered, but can't stop watching and enjoying the video
Well, my feathers sure are ruffled! rabblerabblerabble
New Vegas is the best bethesda game because bethesda didn't make it
DOOM and DOOM 2 are still one of the greatest first person shooters of all time
Definitely some interesting takes, but I understand your points. I just have the habit of jumping into the deep lore of the franchises/game, which makes me like certain games like Witcher more.
Manhunt? God Of War? Megaman X? Terminal Velocity?
Manhunt. Now thats a game i havnt thought about since highschool. A forgotten treasure.
Gotta make a special tier ranking for the one and only Raid Shadow Legends!
Spends 100 bucks in a bar and 200 on cocaine.
70 for a game that will last for far longer? not a chance
Hey, your channel was recommended and I just wanted to jump in here and give you a comment. It's not going to ruffle my feathers because I don't look at your list. And I don't watch videos like this. Okay, jumping back out. Take care!
Thanks Bill!
*Map has a lot of things in it*
