    Half Life 1 had the section that required you to use the crowbar to break a window to allow you to access the next room.
    Using the tools around you or given to you to progress might be in a way seen as a immersive sim.
    Just like the glue gun with the stairs on prey.
    Half Life 2 with it's use the of the gravity gun to progress in some sections of the game. Remember the section that super powered it and was the only fire arm you could use cause they took the rest away?
    Good times. 😁

    I think with immerse Sims, I see the things that I want in a video game, it's the most video game, video game... And one of the things that system shock kind of stands out with is that it was an action focused immersive sim, something you would call, immersive sim light I guess.. it's one of the reasons why I love the Riddick games so much, it takes that immersive sim philosophy and it's light capacity, and focuses it on set pieces in combat scenarios..
    But I also think the reason I take to these things was when I got into gaming, Star Trek was all the rage... And that exploration of systems and worlds was becoming a thing, if you look at the first unreal, maybe not an immersive sim... But it certainly was trying to be everything it possibly could be, which is the framework... And then you look at the holodeck as like the ultimate video game. I can imagine people who got into gaming at a different time, seeing a different goal maybe from what they want out of video games.. it's the same reason why I can't play 2D side scrollers.

    Speaking of people playing in the most boring way possible.. a lot of people didn't realize that the pre-rendered cutscene at the beginning of crysis was just the beginning of what you could do... Not some fantasy over hype, but you could play it in the most boring way... And there's a difference between the people that spent a stupid amount of hours on a very short game to come up with cool ways to do things, and people that thought I was just a graphical showpiece.

    @18:00 the comment re pr and incompetence is an interesting one. I think it’s a reflection on the overall shift of corporates over the years.
    In the past a priority in marketing was placed on “we are experts and therefore you should trust us” is now instead “look we are just like you, you should relate to us and like us”.
    The first had this assumption of the customer utilising critical thinking to decide they agree the company is worthy of trust, the second is emotional focused and in my opinion inherently dishonest, because corporates are never actually like their consumer. It’s calculated misinformation and/or outright lies to appear as such.

    I always called Half-Life 1 and 2, false sandboxes.. especially Half-Life 2... And I don't mean that as a detraction. They give you a sandbox of sorts, with very clear boundaries in order to complete the objective or go through a certain way, you can't get outside of that, but you do have a lot of play space in between. I think another example is the recent remake of resident evil 4, maybe even more so, it's a game where you can't jump over a pile of rags... But my God do you have options within the combat scenario or set piece that you're forced into.
    The first time I heard the term immersive sim light, was describing the Riddick games from Ragnarok and his video on them, and I agree 100%.

    Its kinda weird ACG and you will never admit it, but you have clear bias for Bethesa and anything they do. You critique but man do you beat around the bush. I'm really curious when ES6 comes out which will be another half assed POS how you will try to justify how its amazing despite its faults which will be dated in design by 20 years. Anyways I know what I've said is harsh, don't take what I'vce said too personally as I generally love the podcast but anytime Bethesda is in convo... oh boy

    Xbox expecting to have high sales from HiFi Rush seems crazy, considering it was a shadow drop AND was put onto Gamepass. That is the difference between that game being beloved and Alan Wake 2. AW2 wasn't given away free with a subscription. I personally have been saying for years that Gamepass is not good for developers and is not sustainable.

    • @david53444
      @david53444 6 місяців тому

    • @baneintherain
      @baneintherain 6 місяців тому

    It's all sad and sucks, but man oh man the amount of misreporting and straight up lies some content creators are putting out there regarding the xbox studios being shuttered. I don't usually name drop, but jesus, the dude Dreamcastguy has absolutely been irresponsible with the several videos they've put out on Xbox. It's honestly disgusting. The news on it's own sucks, and they have to spin it to be even worse and gross. I am just annoyed with how so many people cover Xbox and the amount of unevenness that bad news is spread toward Xbox. And I'm sick of people saying ":Well Sony has built of Good Will" like wtf.
    How many times does a company who regularly screws their customers to drop their good will?? The worst part is that I sound like I'm defending MS/Xbox because people are out here not being honest and the amount of people who straight up never even played the games they're "outraged" about not getting sequels.
    Hi-Fi Rush didn't get many plays and those who played it, majority didn't keep playing past a couple hours based on the achievements we've seen (majority of achievements popped for folks are "rare" achievements - meaning small percent of players got those achievements). The game was ported to PlayStation and also got no plays and buys.
    I appreciate the coverage of this.

    Microsoft doing this, along with Xbox games studios partnering with a certain consultancy company, which mean all games coming from Xbox games studios will be tampered with and altered to fit into a specific socio political agenda, has made me realise that I just won’t be buying any more games for my Xbox. I’ll keep it for my back catalogue of older games, but I’m done putting money into the pockets of corporate wankers that clearly don’t care about games, game developers or gamers.

    Only way for gamepass, and/or if Sony gets a version is they forgo exclusives and have those services on all platforms as in Sonys sub gives you there games and Microsoft has their games and I can see it as a cohesive sale that you get both together for a price fee where game pass gets the bulk of sales on their platform and Sony gets the bulk percentage on its platform but both allowed to be on everything otherwise I see it failing over the years easy cause it’s just not a cash cow if no one’s subbing obviously

I was blown away that Arkane Austin wasn't closed sooner. As for Tango, they released 4 games that almost no one bought. How can you stay in business that way? How can you defend giving them another 100+ million of dollars at a minimum to roll the dice again? No, you have to close shop and move on. That's the reality of the world folks.
