Microsoft bought Bethesda. Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Dishonored. Wow. I'm scared, are you scared? What does Microsoft's purchase of Bethesda really mean, and what is it they want? Will the next Elder Scrolls just be on XBOX? What is it that they don't understand? I don't know, but Todd Howard is a very handsome man, and that's what really matters. - Ігри

@@zaidlacksalastname4905 absolutely agree, honestly it's been the only thing I've been playing for last few months, had problems sitting down and playing video games, but even in small segments I can play that has enough player agency so I can do crazy cool shit with the combat, like almost on a crisis level.. definitely on a fear level a little bit more open-ended because of the scape, depending on if you're at an area that had a structure, or if you're just in the open world at that point it's it's you know it's good to practice with.. but either way you go, the verticality the actual layout of the city itself is really well structured for a lot of different things,...
Once you get past I think level 10 is like you have to grind to level 10 which doesn't take long like a few hours, and that's not a good thing I think the assumption is that you're wrapped up in the story where everything to be all together when they released it cuz once you get past 10 like the bullet sponge should start going away and you start all the options start opening up, but you can fuck yourself on your perks but the game's not that hard so you can't fuck yourself that hard you can just fuck yourself out of the fun you have if you were smart...
any game that lets me just replace segments over and over again to come up with different cool ways to solve the kill puzzle, especially when you have the hostages cuz well the enemy AI is is actually not bad when the scripting doesn't break the civilian AI is it's it's and I turned around they're gone it's okay... Lol wish that worked that way with the hostages, they're always the ones that never do that... But as far as the enemy I I goes I'm happy with it, I haven't sat down and done an analysis of it.. but the design is solid it's just the scripting executions that are buggy which makes sense given how much scripting goes into doing something like that and then there's the game scripting on top of that and then their CD project red's method of scripting which is it has a lot of scripting it's it's very long and integrated and you know I bet that served them really well with Witcher 3 on a kind of how much was context context context i e I go here this happens this happens this happens and you have a very small amount of player control that would initiate that, I mean fucking still more than Skyrim so fuck you Bethesda... But with a shooter especially a shooter that is trying to middle ground between having actual buttons to do things and being on a console.. like just from what I've gathered I understand why the scripting breaks down a lot, and it really doesn't break down that much when you break when you look at like open world situations before 2015 LOL like Skyrim was utterly completely script broken at every point at some point like there is no end to the script breakdowns and they're not even good scripts LOL and the assets like there's there's like what animation limitations that show up in front of you,
Granted they show up in cyberpunk because for some reason they decided to do an extraordinary high asset game on those old incredibly slow hard drives in the consoles from a while ago.. and and it's and it's got a streaming focus too, so it's just culling everything... And as we know it often culls too far... Fortunately it seems like the linkage between this breakdown because everything is so temporary doesn't like follow you with some rare exceptions so I reload will fix it etc and if you can just ignore it or if it doesn't cause a problem like the CV AI doing something weird it's not going to cause a chain reaction like 99% of Bethesda script errors or the stalker script errors... although thoseI really understand because the base design for x-ray was to be a large environment ecosystem to begin with so it would be probably more interconnected they also did a lot of translations to like regular language command that's why you were able to go in and change pretty much every parameter you wanted for the gunplay and ballistics and whatnot.. I'm not sure if that was the development process for them, which is what Bethesda does with my understanding is correct.. or if they did that in anticipation for the modding or if that was for selling the xraya engine which was the original goal as a like a Sim engine like I think they had they wanted to do some military stuff they might have already done it I can't remember exactly.. there was a very long time when they didn't know what to do with it, and they had a really cool game in the pipeline that they shifted from and turned into stalker and I feel like I feel like we missed out by not getting to that.
Either way, cyberpunk requires you to put some time into it and it shouldn't.. once you get there you get to that level where you're like you should have been able to get two very quickly at the beginning if they had been able to formulate how the systems were going to work and have to teach them, I'm assuming at this point it would have also not even considered having the dumbass phone call bullshit.. I'm assuming that all those calls were dropped in at the last second when they realized that they were shipping a game, like wait what we're shipping when next month what the fuck?
I just hope that they actually do change these things instead of sticking with them, we're never going to hear about it though because the backlash was so hardcore on their transparency and sadly their PR they've been burned both ways now by it, and then they got hacked so yeah proper gang bang gone wrong and we're probably not going to know anything about anything until it happens, which is sad cuz it was really cool how open they were with the development processes but they made their bed and they fucked it up, CD project had learned a lot of very important lessons early on and if they had just stuck to that even they're fucked up management cycle and structure which was well beyond the actual skill sets for the original employees but that I kind of understand what you do fire them, they're the people that have been there from the start.. yeah I'm going to stoppeople either want to hear it or don't care or don't etc..
I just, people say the combat's bad it's not it's at least not to me, and I have very high standards.. but it's definitely not designed in any way other than that it's designed in every way, and also in the RPG way so when you get to a point where you rpged in the modern term of do things and experience and shit, to a certain extent then you can get these options where normally they would be automated for a crpg but in this case they give you the ability to do different things and combine different things and, then it's good luck which is the way it should be as far as I'm concerned in any shooter...
also the HUD I had to remove the HUD about a couple hours into it fortunately I was not alone I was not nearly as in good company as I thought I would be apparently there's only a few of us but some good people did do a HUD modifications and now I have a crosshair, and very small objective markers that just showed distance in very small type so you really sometimes you got to really scan to see em it's wonderful.
Downside is no health bar upside is I die in three hits anyways so by the time the red hits, that's still in so the low health screen effect shows up time to spam the heel thing, I'd feel worse about that if the gameplay didn't function with it and still provide a challenge given that you die in like three hits still but that's just cuz I never body up, or give a fuck about buying up....
You don't need body if they can't hit you, and they can't hit you if you shoot them first and then hit them first, or hit the first one grab them break their neck or no actually shoot the other guy then bitch slap his buddy break his neck and and continue from there but that's one of my favorites ever since riddick that's been one of my things you get the Richard b seal of approval if you have a game where you can do that specific amount level of things, and you get the Richard b seal of approval silver edition if you can do it in freeform which you can in this game and in crisis and in riddick and in Wolfenstein I think as well machine star breeze developed...
if anybody else has any other titles that you can do that please let me know I will play that game LOL that's a murder boner right there...
@@zaidlacksalastname4905 there's not a good game, just a good story, the gameplay and structure is generic yet still somehow poorly done, but the story is unique and amazing imo
"People are excited for cyberpunk because these companies proved themselves" made me actually stop and laugh out loud in the middle of the night.
To be fair, I did. I don’t anymore, but to me, they did prove themselves.
The point about CDPR hasn’t actually aged poorly, it wasn’t a statement about the quality of the eventual game, but a statement about the build up of hype and trust placed in CDPR, which they have now lost. 🤷♂️

Honestly comparing the Bethesda buyout to the Alaska purchase was a really smart move on your end, given how we now know the full context and consequences.
The people of America back then had no idea that whales were never capable of sustaining all of their oil needs and that securing oil deposits would be a crucial investment, and yet here we are.
Soviet Alaska is pretty pog
And the gold, moose, and badassery of Alaska just being Alaska
the only reason i think that the buy of alaska was a smart move and that was totally unintentional is that if russia kept Alaska, the cold war may of ended differently
It was a good investment in the long run.

You are the most underrated youtuber I watch. Every video you make is pure gold. You're like a younger and quicker uploader Mr.btongue
Seriously he does like million subs worth of content
I'd actually not watched him until seeing this comment. It's so nice waking up to all these comments, it makes my breakfast whiskey taste all the sweeter
I think it's better that he is underrated. I saw too many youtubers who got all the attention they were worthy for, and they became mainstream. Being mainstream leaves you money- and attentionhungry and that means transforming from an original hobbyist to a view-milking nobody, a part of the commercionalized goo that is the (in)famous part of social media. It's a corruption that has affected too many people, and even the youngsters of these times. The few people who are still creative and still have reasonable standards should be left unnoticed by the most, for the corruption should not affect their hobby.
it parallels the games he talks about, where the clickbait and virality sells

@@m4x_g4mer90 what is it called?
I like to compare Valve and Nintendo. Both companies have the balls to do whatever they want and their reputation allows that to happen. Unlike Nintendo, Valve has even bigger balls to tell you "I can do whatever the hell I want and you don't know what you want." When Half Life: Alyx was announced, so many people were complaining that they couldn't play this because they couldn't afford a VR headset; however back in 2004 when Half Life 2 dropped, there were people complaining that they can't run the game because they couldn't afford a better PC. The Half Life brand really transcends all others due to the fact that it's reserved for the best technology that Valve can produce-they're able to do this because they don't have a publisher or studio execs breathing down their neck 24/7.
Oh man, you're probably gonna like my next few videos, then. Well, I don't want to assume what you want (I imagine most viewers don't want this) but I'm gonna do a few videos detailing the history of valve and what sets them apart.
I definitely agree with you as far as Valve's approach is concerned. The push the envelope, they always have, and it's part of what makes them great

Watching this a month after Elden Ring's launch, and this take will age well. Fromsoft can literally give us the barest of details, and they will deserve all the hype that fans generate. Sekiro was a strange one, despite the exclusivity I think Bloodborne is rated higher by fans normally, but it was still a fun outing, and the lessons they gained from all the previous games made Elden Ring the monster of a title it is.

I feel pretty confident that Microsoft will use Bethesda's IP's responsibly. (If that's what they got out of the deal Idk)Maybe Microsoft will have better quality control and actually ship titles like Fallout or Elder Scrolls with less bugs and better game play. Even though Microsofts games as of late have been really...disappointing (cough cough Halo and Gears of War) There is always the possibility they will pull themselves out of video game hell and make something actually decent for once. And uh they need to stop putting multiplayer boxes in Halo that shit ain't cool.
tbh this video was originally going to end on a much more positive and confident note until I saw they were putting microtransactions in Halo Infinite. They still don't get it, but we'll see
@@DJPeachCobbler Arent those only cosmetic tho? I mean since they do plan that halo infinite will be "supported for many years to come" I don't see that as a negative.

Your thoughts are very on point. Microsoft has been very consumer friendly lately, but I hope more people realize that Microsoft is not upholding exclusives like the gold standard they should be (microtransactions in Halo Infinite is absolute heresy) and reminds them what exclusives are supposed to be. They did delay Halo Infinite, so here's hoping they will fix some things as Bethesda did with Doom Eternal.

@@DJPeachCobbler That's an understandable reaction, but an acquisition of this magnitude can have so many unforeseen consequences. Given the current state of things... Maybe. Maybe Microsoft will understand just in time that quality content is as important as a good customer service. If it happens, it won't be on the current generation of consoles. And in the worst case scenario, Microsoft will make Bethesda into the new Rare. I hope I'm wrong. Because this acquisition has the potential to be the beginning of great things... or not. Who knows. We shall see.

Why does nobody ever mention the Forza series when trashing Microsoft? I 100% agree that PC is the way and Sony & Nintendo publish solid games, but Forza is Microsoft’s most well polished product.

Cough cough, 3D Allstars, cough, Skyward Sword for Switch.
But... BUUUUUT. Skyward Sword needs some reworking to work on the Switch, it might end up being the definitive version for a Zelda title many Zelda fans haven't played.
Besides that they don't exploit the title , write something on the box that grabs attention but selling something completely different that is subpar to the other titles qualities or expectations customers have.
Yes, they make some spin offs like that weird rail shooter Zelda?
But you know what you are into and they aren't treated as main line titles, just experiments.
Now 3D Allstars...
Damn That is some dodgy business practice and I absolutely hate Nintendo for that stubborn stupidity.
But in the end, I remember the release of the original Allstars.
The same stuff has been said and in a way it has been a timed exclusive itself with limited cartridges.
People said, it's just a rehash from the games we all own already, nice move Nintendo.
But now? Some of these titles are the definitive versions, super mario 3 looks and plays fantastic on the SNES.
I just wish they went the extra mile touching up Mario 64 man. That would've done the speedrunning community a big favor as consoles and periphery are getting rarer and rarer in good conditions.

Amazing video keep it up. I guess I'm kind of surprised you didn't make the conclusion I thought you were trying to make. This whole time you were building up Sega relied a nostalgia and that that bit them in the butt. Microsoft seems to be at a similar crossroads. They're trying real hard to hold on to their old fans with nostalgia. Halo, gears, fable, all these old titles but nothing new or innovative. Microsoft right now is following in the footsteps of Sega. If they don't adapt and create something good and new, then they're only other option is to keep buying franchises. Xbox did horribly until the games pass happened and they cornered the frugal market. But this gen will truly showcase if microsoft can complete with prestige, or be complacent with nostalgia.
Damn, you wanna write my videos for me? That's a good ending, I didn't think of it. They certainly do that. I hope Microsoft can actually deliver good exclusives and refrain from rushing out garbage, they DID delay Infinite.

I am also glad that Bethesda is with Microsoft now considering how consumer friendly they have been lately things can only get better with Bethesda's ip's I am a bit worried about how they will approach exclusivity though
I'm worried about a lot of things with them, but yeah, forcing Bethesda games to just be on XBOX, or even their PC storefront would blow
@@DJPeachCobbler bit late to the party but I can't see Microsoft making bethesda's IPs exclusive. Hell, they bought out Mojang for 2.5 billion for those sweet minecraft rights, and yet they still kept the Java version up and supported AND made a PS4 version despite being a Microsoft IP. Honestly the only way is up with bethesda being under Microsoft's watch. Sure microsoft are a megacorporation with lots of investors to please but at the same time, especially in recent years, they have not been nearly as willing to fuck over consumers and also push out extremely early betas of games out as finished products as bethesda softworks has been. No it will under no circumstances be the best possible outcome, but the net outcome will still surely be better than the alternative.
@@Rajoovi1 Let's keep in mind that Microsoft bought all of Bethesda for a 1/10 of the net worth of the entirety of Sony (including TVs, computers, cameras, consoles, movies, all of it). Microsoft's net worth, on the other hand, is almost 13x that of Sony. They could buy half of Sony (again, the entire conglomerate, not just the tiny gaming section) with just their annual profits.
Sony is a peon to Microsoft. The only reason it's a 'fair fight' right now is because Sony knows the game better. But with the advent of the Surface tablets all those years ago, Microsoft has long since been getting a hold on the idea of brand reputation and how best to manage it.

DJ PC. I fckn love your stuff man/pie, you are an inspiration to gamers, writers, pseudo-inellllecutaldlsz and nerds like me worldwide, I bet. I share every one of your videos because they hit that gold standard. 🤔😱🤯
You're a legend boss, keep it up that sweet sugary dessert-style goodness please. Hearing your thoughts is an absolute pleasure. GG!!!
This channel man... Brings a tear to my eye. Every god damn video so well done. So well written and edited. With all my respect sir, you make pure gold 😅
It´s like the 12th video of yours i see lately and i hadn´t even thought of subscribing, i just enjoyed them and kept coming for more, Really good videos!!
you're my favorite channel rn
Damn dude how the hell didn't I know of you before, you are a gift to the gaming community! Keep it up, your videos are not only interesting and well thought, but also entertaining and funny as fuck :D
9:50 music... Haza a man of unquestionably quality
As for what happened to Sega, I think I last saw them continuing a dated tactical-strategy game set in not-ww2 with anime wifus. It was a couple years ago though, and all I know is that I'm not in a hurry to check up on them.
we seriously need to blow this up, i feel like every game publisher needs to see this
And then there's EA
Why have a good reputation when you can have a monopoly on some game type
Heya DJ Peach.. You have One awesome feature in your videos.. and that's "quality". Please don't rush content. And keep this great feature alive.
I'm so glad you've been blowing up in popularity. Your content is great dude
The cyberpunk reference aged like fine horse shit
WHY IS THIS GUY SO UNDERRATED
I found you again after watching one of your vids, and now I sit on a binge.
Gosh your videos are amazing been binging for a few days now. Keep on goin on your great at this
Still can't wait for Scalebound. Also, I know where SEGA is, making the Yakuza series, one of the most refreshing series I've ever played. On a more serious note, Microsoft has a bad history with what you describe here. They have continually pressured developers to rush games for holiday releases, I believe Sonic 06 was one such game. When they acquired Ninja Theory they claimed they would allow the team to work on "whatever they wanted" then very shortly after they released "yet another battle royale game." (Yes I forgot the name)
Oof, that's one I've been thinking about trying for awhile. On one hand, it looks a little too "Japanese" for me to enjoy it. But, on the other hand, it looks like it might somehow be so Japanese it goes all the way around again to where I actually love it
@@DJPeachCobbler It's even more Japanese than that.
@@DJPeachCobbler its going to go all the way around where you will love it
@@DJPeachCobbler bro even yahtzee enjoys yakuza.
Oof rip scale bound
One company I don’t like acquired another company I don’t like. My expectations are never high for either of them, but I’m interested to see what happens next. Good things have happened before.
I just want a solid fallout game. Obsidian I need you •~•
I'm honestly surprised more people havent subscribed to you your content is amazing
The way Peach structures his videos is amazing. He lays out some ideas in the beginning of the video that don't seem to have any connection to the central argument he's trying to make. Then, after he's explained his main argument thoroughly, he calls back to those ideas he laid out in the beginning and suddenly they make so much sense.
Like in this video, he talked about people being excited about Elden Ring and I went: "Ok, why are those people so excited? And why is he talking about this?" Then he goes on to explain why the reputation of a game studio matters and at the end of the video, he brings up Elden Ring again and now it all makes sense.
He could have only mentioned Elden Ring as an example at the end of the video without prior introduction and that would have been fine. However, by introducing the idea early and calling back to it in the end, it gives you an 'Ohhh!' moment which makes his videos so much more interesting to watch. He does that sort of call-back in almost every video of his, and it's a phenomenal video structuring tool. Once you know and recognize that pattern, his videos are even more fun to watch.
I’m still holding out hope Bethesda can repair their reputation. But I will never become a hater either way.
If Activision did the exact same thing as them, I wouldn't care. But them holding (and creating) all the games I hold dear forces me to
DJ Peach Cobbler yeah that is a difficult position to be in.
But regardless, I really do hope your creative spark keeps burning and more people will listen to what you have to say.
Yeah no their reputation is pretty much fucked especially after fallout 76
@@CICellDirectorCairmann I just started playing 76 after the last update. It’s pretty fun.
man my recommended was trying really hard to get me to watch your videos, like 3 videos of yours in my recomended every time I refreshed.
I broke for this, and I am pleasantly surprised how well my A.I overlords know what content I like. Have my sub
i'm a recent subscriber, with content this good you really do deserve to get an audience big enough to create some sort of impact in the scene
My god, this is one of my favorite channels now.
The videos are very well made.
Nice background
Not enough nudity, but I'll accept it
To playstation gamers, Microsoft doomed TES, Doom and Fallout
To fallout and Doom fans Microsoft came to save both franchises like they did with Minecraft
May I just say I've watched your videos for some time now, love your stuff. You represent a whole lot of fed up people who just want some good entertainment, cheers to you!
Your channel has grown alot in one year! Good job!
SEGA made that Alien AI that is borderline self aware... and all It does is want me dead.
SEGA to developers: You guys are gonna see a lot me around here. (Sniff) Just...walkin’ around. But don’t mind me. (Sniff) I’m not here.
Two weeks later....
Dev to another on chat: So how’s the new boss?
Dev: He wanders around the studio muttering to himself and stealing shit to feed his crack habit. He’s already attacked five people. We have to hide under our desks whenever he’s about.
I won’t lie....I’m terrified. But also inspired.
Sega didn't make Alien Isolation; they just published it. Creative Assembly made Alien Isolation.
why dont you have more subscribers
this dude is literally the cr1tikal of video games
but with 10 times better production quality
good job man
Damn I'm happy you got more subscribers man your stuffs amazing
This video aged perfectly. Your elden ring video is fantastic and you are my favorite newest UA-cam I’ve found. Keep it up my guy!
this has aged like fine wine… for from soft
Post Elden Ring - HOLY SHIT
Another great video down on my journey to watch them all.
Keep them coming my fine peachy friend.
2:36 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH did not expect a shout out OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH
God they were so right about eldin ring
Doom Eternal was fantastic, so hopefully that's a sign for the future.
Love your content! Subscribed
Bruh how do you not have at least 1 mil subs, you certainly have the confidence of one!
Sooooo..... a new elden ring trailer dropped. Do you have a slight chub now?
Both ironically and unironically this channel has a blunt approach of elitism that I’ve seen addressed in other channels and conversations, but the delivery and way it handles the topics from a critical perspective and remains dead-on its message of “This game and everything around it is definitely placed into classes of prestige and economic imbalance”
In other words, I enjoy you bro, this is a great way of addressing such an uncomfortable thing without getting it apologetic
I just found your channel and watched all the videos, thanks dude, you awesome
Fuck dude. Found you yesterday. I've been binging all of your videos since.
Liking and commenting to appease the algorithm Gods.
Seriously quality shit
Sony having pride in what they make made me laugh.
Lmao especially after Last of Us 2 😂😂
Yeah
That game was really made for the same people who made the first?
>sony exclusives
>not carering to lowest common denominators
>last of us 2
You're delusional
Man, you are the ONLY UA-camr that I routinely come back to watch old videos, such good commentary and quality content
3:16 yup, sounds like silksong
Sony doesn't peddle trash? Have you heard of TLOU2?
Yes. And it’s amazing.
Microsoft so far hasn't affected games they own in a negative way so I have high hopes for them, especially Fallout. Maybe they'll force Bethesda to actually put effort into making 76 a good game
I'm binge watching your videos and I love them.
Just discovered this channel, God bless the algorithm.
I deff thought those shots of elder ring was actually Project Offset. Which after your explanation is ironically extremely similar only by about 10 years difference
That cdpr/cyberpunk comments didn't age too well lol
The best joke was about Nintendo and their "reputation"
The scott the woz cheap shot made my crack tf up keep on the great work. I love your clever criticism and i love his comedy and breaking down nintendo shit
this video has popped up in my recommendations at the perfect timing, just after the cyberpunk disaster, the perfect example of how long it takes to get the trust of the users and how fast you can lose it
Why do so many publisher dont care about their reputation anymore? Because they dont have to. Halo infinite has lost creative diretors, has microtrans, had very weak trailers, and still is gonna be very profitable. Because it has Halo in the tilte, is gonna have a 7.8 on IGN and metacritic, and people are still gonna buy its microtrans. Reputation is overrated.
... Is microtrans an offensive term?
I'd say microtransactions usually negatively affect a game's progression. Locking items behind a paywall that could've been used to reward playing the game makes a game less fun to grind. Sure, it could just be for cosmetics, but cosmetics are fun to unlock. As far as reputation selling consoles, Sony won this console generation by consistently publishing solid and well-made games, not by having the best box
@@DJPeachCobbler Im making a point of the importance of IPs, microsoft doesnt want bethesda/zenimax, it wants their logos and franchises. I mean, biowares reputation for RPGs was so great that even if not a single person that worked on ME 1 , 2 or 3 actually worked on ME andromeda, everyone still expected that game to be a great RPG. The IPs are all that matters, and IPs can take a huge blow to their reputation and all will be forgiven if the next game is good. I mean, EA was voted worst company, and their games are still VERY profitable, specially their sports games with slot machine microtrans.
@@SolidReader That's true, I considered bringing up Bioware in this but decided against it for time reasons. Fallout's name doesn't mean what it used to anymore, but Doom and Elder scrolls have yet to be properly ruined. I do think the reputation of a developer/publisher holds almost as much weight as an IPs reputation, though. I mean, people are foaming at the mouth for Elden Ring, but people know nearly as much about Starfield, and I don't see people nearly as excited for that because there's doubt that Bethesda can still make great games. Tbh I think people that buy EAs sports games just don't care about any of this stuff, those guys don't care about angry EPIC GAMER rants.
But I do think reputations are far more important when it comes to hardware. A lot of people are gonna buy a PS5 just because Sony doesn't fuck around when it comes to games.
@@DJPeachCobbler All of that is true, speacially the PS5/sony part, but if stafield or elder scrolls 6 turns out to be good games, will all bethesda fu*kups be forgiven and their reputation returned to status-quo? Considering that EA still exists, the answer is Yes. Even with the disaster of 76, all they need is 1 or 2 good games.
