Вставка

- I try to convince you why you should play Devil Blade REBOOT while refusing to review it and discuss the mind-poison of review culture; an overview of the options, mechanics, and scoring; I cover the "controversy" of the Western launch; the split between survival and scoreplay mindsets...and for some reason my thoughts on Dune 2.

He ain’t lyin’! hahahaha
Thanks for sharing. I agree with the potential poisoning of the mind due to certain adopted mindsets or habits. I do very few reviews and I have never used any sort of ranking system as this feels like an injustice to the spirit of the experience waiting for each individual.
As for scoring, I personally don't see this as the ultimate way in which to connect with any given game (I don't recall your exact wording), but more so a common ingredient that often contributes to a stronger link. I think it's easy to see scoring as the greatest way to know a game because of the high demands, yet there are other approaches that demand an even greater depth when it comes to knowledge, awareness, execution, etc. and I think, in general, the strongest relationships stem from a committment to the learning itself. Whether on the path of survival or scoring, I believe these still limit the experience too much compared to what can be tapped into when we reach deeper still. A lot of this will be covered in my supporter-exclusive material but this also inspires me with some ideas for our upcoming chat! Thanks again!
Thanks for checking it out Dace!!! One of the things that drew me to your channel was your style of review and your first looks. Always being open to the experience and what the game is giving, but also the information players want to know.
I’m really eager to hear your thoughts on “connecting”!!! I know you push yourself beyond the game’s rules, but I’m excited to talk to you about this. Might be a slight difference in terms, perspective, or the next veil to be unlifted and for me to learn from :)
Can’t wait for the exclusive material - don’t forget to hit me up when it’s ready I can’t wait!!!
@@SpidersSTG No worries, man! I'm happy to hear you picked up on that. Yeah, it's one of those things - reviews (in the general sense) don't really interest me or hold much value because they typically strive to help people gauge whether a game is "worth" the money, time, etc. or not - which is a service I don't require. The only times I watch reviews are if I'm already sold on a game and want to enjoy hearing someone talk about it. People who clearly don't have a passion for the game or have more negative things to say are not interesting to listen to because 95% of the time the things people complain about are non-issues to me and will not sway me from dipping in to experience the game myself. When it comes to something like controllers, I'd say there's a much higher cost involved, so it's about equipping people with as much relevant information as possible and encouraging things one way or another if they're already looking to take things in that direction or if there are currently epic deals on the go. But yeah, I'll message you soon about our upcoming chat. Thanks again for your support and enthusiasm!
Yes!!! It was specifically the Risk System and Jamestown “reviews” you did on Shmuptopia that made me so glad you were putting your thoughts out into the ether. Everyone seemed to be harping on what they games were NOT, but you had the openness to see what was there, and that’s exactly how I hope to approach every game/experience :) I think we talked about this too but there is a total dearth of controller/stick reviews from non-fighting game players… I value your hardware videos so much! I hope you get a kick out of my next video, a very silly stick mod “how-to” :)
First thing I unlocked is the Retro Music. Because yeah, music is my life and I always go for that.
Excellent vid. This game really deserves all the highlights and praise. It's so good
Hey Carina thanks for checking it out! That’s a very respectable first choice!!! Especially since it’s not available anywhere else to listen to (yet). Goofs aside, I think music is completely undervalued in gaming. Glad to have a fellow traveler in that regard
@@SpidersSTG 💖
holy SHIP...what the FUN!
hahaha glad you liked it:) For anyone who reads this I HIGHLY recommend Desmond’s review of Devil Blade Reboot… the best one out there so far.
Excellent job!!
I wasn't sure if I wanted to grab this right away after the Electric Underground review... I mean I have a dozen SHMUPS on my deck that I need to spend more time with already but you convinced me. So my boys and I sat down with this on the week end and had a blast. Great game.. a little easy on the easy mode but that's not a big deal. I still got my ass handed to me on the harder difficulties. I really like the retro mode you unlock later on too. Plenty of game in this thing still.
The length is about right IMO.. we played through it several times already, maybe put 6 hours into it now. I like the re-playability of SHUMPS, it's one of the features that keeps me coming back. Too many games don't respect my time, they think it's ok to waste hours just wandering around trying to figure out what to do next.. not SHMUPS.. I am busy from the moment I start until I'm done and then I can move on with my life. They remind me of sheet music.. (I recall you were working on a songwriting to SHMUPS comparison video at some point) in that with sheet music I can learn the music bar by bar.. I can play through the entire thing at whatever tempo I like.. making mistakes galore along the way (this is credit feeding) and learning the ropes.. as I get better eventually I can play the game at pace and it looks like I know what I'm doing. With longer games.. especially these open world time sinks... there is no reason for me to go back. I never improve at the game because I never play it more than once.. with SHUMPS the short time really encourages me to actually learn the game, to get good at it, to learn every nook and cranny that it has to offer and the density is such that that I'm still noticing things in the background during my tenth play because I was so busy playing for survival the first nine times that I missed it.
In any case.. I look forward to your Andros Duos II breakdown.. I adore that game. Cheers.
I think you nailed the appeal! I'm glad you dig the game. It also jumped to the top of the pile for me. 100% on the respecting yor time. Snappy menus, fast loading, instead of smashing 'start' to get through the story, you hit pause to see the story... really just getting everything right in that regard. The sheet music comparison is really interesting! I never could read but I remember learning tablature haha. That transformation between the mechanical playing the right notes in the right order that sounds "correct" into actually "playing it", and then your hands and creativity taking it over and "you are playing it"... whatever that is definitely happens in shmups too. Not sure if the songwriting analogy makes it into the Andro Dunos vid but either way your getting a shout out. Thanks for watching brother!
6 mins in and you’re equating music to butts 😂 Not my usual analogy but somehow you sell it 😆 Gonna check out the rest later, great stuff so far 🤘
Thanks brother! Jokes aside I think there is a special quality of music to take on “listener-side” meaning that other art forms lack.
Can’t believe you tricked me into your Dune 2 review - people need to stop using shmups as clickbait, we all know it’s how to get views but for people looking for that proper shmup content it’s just a minefield. 😂
@@scowsh hahahahaha. Hate the game not the player homie!
Sick video, I enjoyed it almost as much as Dune 2 👍
I don't know about the music/graphics though. As far as I'm concerned, both ass and tits are just graphics.
The analogy of someone making a Persona 5 review after playing for one hour is perfect though, I never thought of it that way but it makes so much sense. I think that might even get through to people who don't play arcade games.
Hahaha fair enough! I think I’m using “ass” as the general lower body goodies where we adults have business to conduct lol
I hope this becomes the official controversy of Devil Blade Reboot hahaha
@@SpidersSTG
I, for one, already forgot the other controversy.
That was a fascinating video Spiders! 👍☕🍯🍌
Thank you Alvi!!!
I've run out of superlatives for your videos. The game is a blast indeed (and a kick in the arse for all other indie shmup devs to ratchet up the intensity!)
Thanks BB!!! I know right!? If this can inspire more great indie shooters I am all for it!
Mark got crap for his vid and I got crap on my Steam review lol. I'm glad I was able to change my review to positive because I love the game.
100% I get it both ways - the idea the release should of been a big celebration with everyone simply gushing, but we have that problem in the mainstream!! Really classy of the dev to care of it so quick and for Mark to unlist his video. I’ll “thumbs up” your Steam review too :)
LOVE THIS.
Thanks Michiel!
I give this review a 50 Cent out of 10
