    The section at 13:20 where he talks about the writing and dialogue for the protagonist is SPOT ON, and quite accurately describes what I hate about the writing for Carol in Captain Marvel. These characters don't have a personality, they don't have flaws, they don't struggle with anything and they don't CARE about anything, and the writer seems to think that having them drool out snarky one-liners every 2 seconds is basically the same thing as making an interesting or relatable character.

(They had multiple years of pre-development and most of their ideas had to be trashed due to time and engine limitations.) Not really an excuse because they should have started earlier, but still context.

      Funny enough, the attack on Insomnia was going to be an experienceable moment when the game was Versus XIII instead of XV. It was one of the many great things that got cut when the game got rebranded. I really dislike what happened with Final Fantasy XV, and I would've much preferred that we had gotten Versus XIII.

      Wasn’t until Casey and Mark joined back on that anything got done.
      Top that with the fact that talking and taking any inspiration from Destiny was forbidden, they wouldn’t listen to their Austin team that made SWOTOR and had learnt from MMO mistakes and the frostbite engine being a piece of shit.
      The entire development was a delusional mess of hubris from those in charge.

      And tbh even with the increased drop the loot is still garbage. Its just that its a lot easier picking up lots of garbage and picking up a little bit of garbage. One you have a better chance of finding something not garbage and the other you spend 30+ minutes on the hardest difficulty and MAYBE get one kinda not trash loot drop.

    I like some pies. It's a pretty vast category, so I think it's unfair to declare that you don't like any of them. I can't stomach apple pie, but I'll happily chow down on a meat pie. Blueberry pie is alright too. It's like saying you don't like cake; there are a lot of different kinds of cake to choose from. Now, if IHE has indeed tried every kind of pie, or at least enough to cover enough of the category to make such a general statement, this criticism obviously doesn't apply. Generalizations are merely a pet peeve of mine. Like saying you don't like vegetables. Neither do I, but I do like a handful of vegetables, like cucumber and bell pepper. So it's preferable to say I don't like _most_ vegetables, or that I _usually_ don't like vegetables.
    This has been an utterly pointless rant about something only faintly related to the video.

    "I can't properly compliment anything without bringing up significant caveats." An incredible quote for a flop of this magnitude. Though I'm not sure anyone will happen across this comment 4 years after this video's release, not much has been changed or improved with the game.
    Legendary contracts were added as a form of high-difficulty daily tasks and take place in the open world. Endgame activities include these contracts, waiting around for world events (think Public Events from Destiny, albeit on a 1 to 3 star scale of how much XP they give), and the aforementioned Strongholds. Strongholds are only done by people who want to top each month's speedrun on the in-game leaderboards, as they provide little loot and XP.
    There is no difference in XP gain between Easy, Normal, Hard, Grandmaster 1, GM2, and GM3. New players are encouraged to stay on Easy or be carried through GM3 content by other players to slowly level up their "gear score" to around 600, and their character level to 30. I'm at gear score 240 and character level 14, both from 30 hours of gameplay. If you want to max out (gear score 960), going below GM 3 means that items will always drop 5 levels under the max, as a nice little arbitrary sprinkle on top of that which is the loot system. Easy or GM3, plenty of wasted development time balancing the rest of the difficulties.
    Loot only matters if it's Masterworked (additional special modifiers like +50% Damage and +40% Ult Recharge) and if it can set up combos. This game didn't need a crafting or gear score system at all.
    Some good things still have happened. The servers are still running. The microtransactions are still running as well, but are not as intrusive as Destiny, especially Destiny 2 as of this comment. There is still a semi-active community through the Discord server, and new players are still helped out by old players. Though I shouldn't grant BioWare any excuse with this horrendously shallow story (I still haven't completed the Javelin of Dawn quest and was surprised by how uninteresting the rest is), the currently small playerbase feels eerily similar to the outcast nature of the Javelin Pilots.
    This game isn't worth anyone's time, money, or attention, yet it simply feels good to play. The feel and sound of the Javelins and weapons is masterclass, especially if you pick Colossus, since the lack of movement options feels natural on a 2 ton behemoth. The fact that the game is no longer being serviced live means I don't have to suffer from any FOMO like in Destiny 2.
    I can't praise the game, not a lot, but I most certainly enjoy seeing anyone pop onto the game to try it out, as nothing else in my library comes close to the graphical fidelity and the raw fun of having a customizable Iron Man game.

You are Literally one of (WoW) Millions and that is how it should be played. "Sole Survivor" "The Chosen One" "Secretly a god" work VERY well for First Person Games. Hell, that would even work for the Meta of an MMO but YOU the player should be a deg who is "doing their part" to Start or Stop the apocalypse
      Anthem, You AREN'T the Sole Survivor, You are "Pilot 456 out of Millions who FOUND (Stole) a Suit of Armor. Blade and Soul, You AREN'T the Sole Survivor of having your Clan destroyed, you are Backup sent by the Clan to help the Gods. Fallout 76 "The Experiment has Ended > Go Rebuild America" instead of The Late bloomer looking for the Leader in a dead world.
      Like, This isn't a hard concept to follow. I get that companies are trying to Reel in the Elusive First Person Market, but they forget that a "Live Service" Model needs Players.... not Sole Survivors.

      This was such a painful problem of F76. All the world building and lore were punted into computer terminal entries or audio logs.
      Except you can't even pause/resume a single audio log. If you get forced into combat by respawning enemies, your buddies start going BLAM BLAM BLAM, or start talking, or something IRL comes up?
      Fuck you! Restart the audio log!
      So everytime you found a terminal or audio tape (there were hundreds of taps and I don't know how many terminal entries), it felt like you needed to scream "EVERYONE SHUT UP AND STOP HAVING FUN! IT'S READING/AUDIO TAPE TIME!"
      That or you just played the game solo, like IHE did, thus ignoring the whole "play with friends/MP" part of the game.
      Like BW, BGS had no idea what it was doing making a multiplayer game.

      Games like The Division, Destiny and Anthem sell pretty well and because they are long have low resale at the first 3 months. Those months are critical for a new game because they are selling at full price and allow the Publisher to recover money fast.

    I just hate this type of protagonist so much, oh my god. This type of... etheral creature. No origins, no family, no story - blank enough to make it seem like a self-insert but actually impossible to relate to because they were injected with a wacky sense of humor just for the sake of making it look like they have some sort of personality, which only ends up making them look dumb and not believable for a penny. It gets even worse if the game keeps calling you the hero when the story is actually driven exclusively by the other characters and you're basically just a random overpowered mcguffin guy following along. Either commit 100% to the self-insert way with a silent and completely blank protag that I have to fully rp with, either balance it with great decisions, choices and lore like in the Mass Effect, either give us a protag with an already established personality and story that I have to discover and enjoy as is because you don't always have to insert yourself into the main character to enjoy a game. Don't try to do the three at the same time or you get a game that is very unsatisfying because the main window through which you look at it, aka the player character, is just uninteresting at best and unbearable at worst.

      It's a classic BioWare protagonist, though. It was the same in Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age: Origins.

    • @citroncaviar
      @citroncaviar Рік тому

      @PasserMontanus I'll have to disagree. In both these games, while the protagonist is silent, they're not blank, because you can make them whoever you like. Neither are they injected with a wacky premade humor. In these games, you are given a relatively large pool of options to RP their personalities through dialogues, origins, stats and specializations, etc. And the way you personalize your character influence the decisions that are avaible to you. And you are actually the hero, you actually drive the story in those games, you're not just an overpowered sidekick for the real protagonist. In fact, Dragon Age Origins lets you decide on your character's personality and morality much more than its two sequels, which are more restricted. It's actually pretty well balanced in terms of role-playing. The protagonists of DAO and NWN could never even dream of approaching the degree of emptiness and cringe of the Anthem protag.
