    I think more people need to learn that last point; Games are *games,* they don't have to shake the industry. If it's fun and feels great to play that can be all it needs to be. Plenty of games get overlooked for not doing everything to revolutionize video games as a medium and that can keep you from playing a lot of fun games that might be your favorite even if they're not GOTY.

      Well I had a discussion on Twitter with someone for this same reason. The guy in question stated that Horizon Zero Dawn wasn't such a great game and neither it or the sequel deserved so much praise because they didn't revolutionized videogames and that breath of the wild is a much better game.
      I love breath of the wild and I'm looking forward for the sequel but the statement he made is fucking stupid, I told him that Twilight Princess for example is a great game and it isn't revolutionary, quite the opposite indeed. Then even if I like how innovative BOTW is Twilight Princess is too among my favourite Zelda games and is linear and conservative as fuck but if a game is really well done it can be praised even if it is not innovative.
      Today people talk about games as if everyone had to be a life changing experience and I like games that expand how gaming is perceived but I also like simpler experiences and many people seems to think the same as many games are going back to 2D graphics.

    I think my favorite part of this game and one of my favorite visual storytelling moments in any game I've played is (spoilers sort of, not really) a part of the game where you come to a locked door with a note written next to it. The note says something about the person who wrote it tried everything to open it and that they believed if they ever got it to happen the war would suddenly just end. If you have a high enough lock picking skill you can open the door, and once you walk through it you turn around and realize that you could have just walked around it and the whole building is destroyed, and that there was nothing inside after all. You also get an achievement called "No hope."

      My dear friend bought me an Xbox Series S so we could play games together (bless him). I haven’t played Xbox since 360 (and that broke when the first Assassin’s Creed came out).
      I still kept my nose in Microsoft’s business and what they were up to over the years.
      I recall looking at launch games like “Ryse: Son of Rome” and later titles like “ReCore” thinking how quaint they came off, seeming more like the OX/GC/PS2 era in their conventions compared to that period’s (then novel) trends.
      Fast-forward to present;
      I’ve been combing through titles on Game Pass and installed those two specifically wanting to see some 1st party Xbox games (beyond Gears of War, Forza and Halo) recalling those and actually sort of fascinated that I’d relegated them to just ‘never be played’ in some sort of staunch condemnation.
      And you know what?
      I was right.
      They are quaint
      with game design of an already bygone era, with sprinklings of conventions that were to come and are here (good lord are they here).
      But!
      They were well crafted,
      original in their own manner
      and fun.
      My friend’s were confused that I’d bother touching these games versus what else is on offer, as they were seen as (as I previously thought as well) an “obsolete showcase” and “Failed IP”.
      And when asked about them, neither did I arrive from ‘On High’ to tell them,
      “I have found the greatest titles of all!” Nah,
      and they won’t be liked at all by plenty for legitimate reasons.
      But I could solidly recommend them as offering a good time and that they may be worth a try depending on your taste, but they aren’t going to rock your world either.

    Oh I've looked into the difficulties of this thing due to confusion on early reviews and how the game changed and *holy crum* it's insane. The game got a rebalance update in March of 2020 on pc (later pushed to consoles) and double check this but apparently the "improved balance of difficulty levels" change meant that *easy difficulty was now harder than the old extreme difficulty*. If true, my gosh that's an entirely different game! I have never heard of a difficulty overhaul that heavy before.

    • @ColonelNegative
      @ColonelNegative 2 роки тому +33

      I bought the game day one, played and beat it on extreme. It needed the rebalance. The devs listened to the players, asked for feedback, and fixed the issues with the game. Not just difficulty, but spawn rates, graphical glitches, new graphics modes...they really went all out.

    • @jayceneal5273
      @jayceneal5273 2 роки тому +6

      Yeah I played it on launch, extreme was probably where normal difficulty is now. Extreme mode now is actually really REALLY difficult, but imo the only real way to play it. terminators spot you instantly, you die in like 3 hits, and ammo and resources are scarce. It really does a great job of letting you experience the dread of post judgement day life like the first film gave us a small glimpse at.

Robotic animations aren't a huge deal when the enemies you're fighting are all robots anyway, lol.

    Finally got the game as a birthday present a few days ago and good god I'm loving it sooooooo much the atmosphere is incredible. I just done the mission in the hospital it was so scary just seeing those Terminators patrolling the halls and then when I blew up the generator and ran outside I had a heart attack when I saw the HKs flying across the sky and then a giant unit of Terminators coming towards me to investigate this game is great ^__^

    My biggest issue with the game is the fact that it's narrative is written as it it presumes the player to be the character, we're given revelations that are "shocking" or a twist only if you, like the characters, haven't seen the movies and know exactly what's coming. Most people will know that the stranger is you literally 10 seconds (no hyperbole, literally 10 seconds) into the games opening cutscene the first time he speaks because we already know time travel and going back to protect the people of the past is part of the Terminator core narrative. Also the second revelation about the machines learning to create skin to create indistinguishable Terminators and all the hints it drops along the way (skinning prisoners for "some reason", finding the corpse of the guy they clearly based Robert Patrick's Terminator on) and again because we've seen Terminator this is not a shock at all and you expect it from the moment it's first hinted at. It made the narrative feel very flat and lacking real surprise.

It's so good

    So excited for this studio's Robocop game to come out. With Terminator, they've demonstrated a lot of skill making licensed games that are fun for all and satisfying for the fans, and with Robocop I firmly expect them to, do a perfectly serviceable job. They're gonna do just enough. They're gonna make a 6.5/7 out of 10 Robocop game. That's all I could ask for. I love that. The world needs more cute little games that are good enough.

    • @jayceneal5273
      @jayceneal5273 2 роки тому +1

      Also, Resistance was made on a pretty tight budget, but I think it actually was somewhat of a small hit for the studio. I wouldn't be surprised of RoboCop ends up being a little higher budget and more polished than resistance. But even if its on par that means its guaranteed to be quality

    The mode where you play AS an Terminator was also fun, if a little out of place because enemies can kill you at the same rate as the main campaign.
    But it was fun to yet dudes into other dudes. I'm still holding out hope for a good Terminator game where you fully play as a T-800, lifting trucks above your head and tossing them and bursting through a wall duel wielding twelve gauges.

    • @jayceneal5273

    Video game critics and "professional" critics generally have a very heavy novelty bias. If something isn't "breaking new ground" they rarely engage with it fully, and it's a laughably large disconnect this class of people has with pretty much everyone else. Most people are absolutely fine with some Kraft Mac N' Cheese and don't need every meal to be some hipster cut of steak served on a shovel and covered with glitter.

    • @cookieface80

      I would say T1 and T2 are some of the best movies ever made. A lot of people hate T3 but it's actually a pretty good action movie, one of the last classic action movies with arnie that we'd ever get, but as a terminator sequel it is sort of a poor mans T2. Salvation is good but not really a good terminator movie. the last 2 are probably some of the worst movies of the last decade

    -Then recently with how much I was enjoying “Aliens Fireteam Elite” (wish the game got the “Aliens; Colonial Marines” title first..), which triggered my nostalgia with proper sets and sound design leading me to think about “that Terminator game Civvie covered..” and how it may give me a similar hit.
    Which leads us to..
    -This video..

    I think there is a lot of guys like me (not old, but old school), when Nerrel talk about the small details you can sense he's right, because he is considering the factor TIME (or nostalgia). I've been playing Resistance, and yes, it's not polished, its not the best action game, its not the game you can expect to change industry, but i still want it to play it, because you get that emtoion about surviving.

I found Terminator Resistance right after Dark Fate dropped...and, well, let's just say there's a reason I go back to games that are bugged or rough edged, like STALKER, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth and Deus Ex over most of the shit that's pumped out these days...because the people who made it actually gave a shit.

    I never heard of this game until now. But it seems pretty neat because I am a big fan of the first two films. If I could more or less experience the original third movie that we never got then this game is fully worth playing for me.

    • @jayceneal5273

Just something that's perfectly functional, not a high budget super polished game, it's just fun and you can tell the developers weren't trying to make a quick buck or something.
    People get way too prissy over graphics or gameplay that doesn't adhere to what this year's current AAA games do. God forbid your shooter doesn't have a sprint button or something.
