Fanatical Random key bundles can also be a mixed bag, especially if you buy multiples within like a couple months (A bundle wont have duplicates in it, but you can get dupes from separate purchases.). If you are going to buy the bundles, buy like two 20 keys every year or so. Plus they get keys legally, so you wont run into the issue of having a game revoked.
Call of Cthulhu is a AAA game but it came out on the original Xbox and I played it when it came out it was class. The horror of Arkham in the atmosphere still haunts me to this day and that little girl’s mom
The difference between these specific Fanatical and G2A bundles is that Fanatical sold you five legitimate games, while G2A sold you one legitimate game (Lords & Villeins) and four pricing scams.
Heaven Dust is originally inspired by games like Resident Evil. Hell, the dev even mentions that in the end credits. Limited inventory and puzzles are kind of a given in these kinds of horror games. This game's alright... But honestly I'd say that the sequel is *WAY* better.
@@SkinnyFGto people who played those original games maybe, but you fail to acknowledge that resident evil has dramatically changed over time and in general mainstream series have shifted in style and most of these classic gameplay styles have become far more common in indie games.
Two points about CoC: - It's probably worth calling a "AA/Double A" game. Around that period of time of its release, it was a lot more common to have mid-market games that have larger publisher support but budgets not quite as high as we see them nowadays (granted, bethesda was a lot smaller at this time and we're sort of seeing a resurgence of AA games). - The creatures your character sees at the start of the game isn't Cthulhu, but I think a Yithian.
scrolled for this comment because I wanted to make sure someone explains, haha. CoC is one of my favourite games, flawed yet highly atmospheric and nostalgic
As an indie game developer I must say that most of the keys sold on websites such as G2A, Kinguin etc are illegally obtained and probably will be revoked even if you end up claiming them. Most of the sellers are curators and streamers who demand extra keys for so called "Giveaway" purposes and they generally end up selling them even though the keys sent out are strictly not for sale. When you buy these keys, developers of the game do not earn any money at all, only the scumbags do. If you do not have the money to buy a certain game just pirate it, but do not give money to these scumbags and glorify their scams.
Yeah, most definitely. I make these videos to try and show how worthless these packs are, hoping to deter people from purchasing them. I heard Fanatical keys were at the very least obtained through normal, legal means which is why I originally decided to compare these two. I’m still not sure how accurate that is but I see more on the side of Fanatical than against.
I agree that it's very, very not cool for key-selling sites to sell keys that give the actual developers no money at all. And for the record, my huge Steam library is all totally legit. (Though I do wait an average of three years for any given game to get really cheap sales before buying them, so by some accounts I might as well just be pirating anyway.) But, as far as the "if you absolutely don't have the money, pirate it instead of buying scammy keys" argument goes, it unfortunately isn't that simple. I mean, maybe I'm just not nearly into piracy enough to know how to do it easy and risk-free, but at least as far as my perception of the matter goes, modern piracy is a minefield of malware at worst and unreliable content at best. Conversely, a scummy key may be scummy, but at least it ultimately gets you the game itself straight from Steam, as reliable and safe as any other game. And what's more, getting games that way is very simple and straightforward. You don't have to deal with torrents or cracks or any of that mess like with piracy. So even from a purely selfish "I just want mah games, to hell with the people who make them" perspective, I'd still say a really cheap scum key still beats piracy for most because spending $3 is preferable to rolling the piracy dice and dealing with the additional technical steps piracy requires. So again, to be very clear, I'm not saying I support the key reselling sites. I'm not even supporting piracy here. Please don't shoot the messenger. I'm just saying that the "just pirate it instead" argument is never going to accomplish much as long as the people who really don't care anyway (which is pretty much entirely the people you're trying to reach here in the first place,) see the piracy cons - malware risk, extra complications, etc - as worse than the key reseller con of spending $3, $4, or $7 for a game compared to piracy's $0. If you really want people to "just pirate it instead," piracy needs to become an equally or more appealing choice compared to the cheap simplicity of key scammers, and from my anecdotal experience talking to gamer friends and family, not to mention my own perceptions of it all, piracy simply does not look like the easier way to go. It's basically the same principle as when Gabe talked about Steam's early impressive success against piracy; that success all came down to simply creating a better option. It may be the key scammers who are providing the more appealing option to piracy in this case rather than Steam but either way, people will primarily gravitate toward the path of most convenience, and for those who just want the best cheapest option period, the key scammers are the ones currently delivering it. Until you change that, asking people to pirate instead won't matter much.
While G2A has a bunch of stolen keys, most of these particular G2A games look like developer scams. Other than Lords & Villeins, you have four super low effort games that list for $30 to $40? A history check shows that Nightwalker and Last Room had been $10 games until a few months ago, when both games (despite having different devs and publishers) suddenly had their prices massively increased. And all four show 90% off sales on Steam. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the various publishers and/or devs were supplying keys to be sold through services such as G2A, perhaps even using their inflated prices as "justification" to call them "premium" games.
My man, heaven dust is clearly a Survival horror game, the inventory management is an integral part of the mechanics of that genre. The chest are straight out of the Resident Evil games.
No doubt, the inventory management and storage boxes are absolutely a return to oldschool RE design and intentional design choices. Still doesn't mean you have to like them though, and personally, I never even liked that inventory management stuff in the original RE games in the first place. it's the biggest reason I never go back and replay those old RE games, I just don't want to deal with that one part. To be clear though, it's inventory management I specifically hate, (in every game all the time forever for that matter) not the resource starvation part of the classic survival horror experience. Expecting me to manage the next two rooms with five bullets is a-okay, but it should be because five bullets are all that's left of what I've found at all, not all that's left of what I could carry.
same as Convoy, he made comments about how he didn't like the game wasn't telling u ur level, the random events, and the fact that if u die, it's permadeath, homie that's called a roguelike, just call it that at this point
@@gearettexwhile many genres may seem like common knowledge, many other people simply just play whatever games they can and do not actively seek out or learn the norms of specific genres. Just because someone doesn't know something others do doesn't make them dumb, they just are not familiar with it. Clearly if he was familiar with these genres then he would probably just refer to the tropes of each genre and point them out.
Fanatical actually gave me a free random Steam key with my order and it was ICBM. I never heard of it, but it's a 20€ game with pretty positive reviews. So Fanatical is really good compared to those key reseller shops.
fuck g2a i spent $50 for 3 keys that were games over $60 and from they all ended up being from one dude that had the games listed at $120 each and were crypto miners each game had a weird ass memory leak
I'm buying a few bundles from Fanatical while I have my coupon and this video popped up when I opened youtube in another tab so I'm going to throw a 20 random key pack on the purchase and see what I get: lunar new year bonus: SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption (duplicate) 1. Cook, Serve Delicious 3 2. Cats In Time 3. SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell 4. Lost Words: Beyond the Page 5. Cook, Serve, Delicious 1 6. Blind Fate: Edo no Yami 7.

I gambled on fanatical twice. The second time i got a game called "nuts" and "safety first" which i havent played. The first time, i got gamedev studio, AND FUCKING DOOM 2016. IM DEAD FUCKING SERIOUS
wow convoy was a game i've been looking for for years. a europa universalis 4 youtuber i used to watch did a let's play on it way back when and i said i would think about getting it later on but never remembered the name once i built my pc. what a coincidence
This was super entertaining, id love to see more of you playing random games. But also that heavens dust game looked like a survival horror and all those inventory things are intentional. But im sure youve already got comments like that. Good video!
The inventory system in heaven Dust is clearly referencing Resident Evil. The point of it in that game is that it enhances the survival horror by keeping your resources scarce, if the game isn't a survival horror it makes sense to criticize it.
If you loved Bot Vice but found it a bit too difficult, I would recommend Strikey Sisters. They were made by the same people that did Bot Vice, and plays more like breakout.
Call of Cthulhu was developed by Cyanide Studios (the people who made the Stix series, the Blood Bowl series, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse Earthbloods) and the Nintendo Switch port was developed by Saber Interactive (the people who made games like Crysis, Evil Dead: The Game, Quake Champions, Halo, Warhammer, Mortal Kombat, and World War Z). The budget for the game was around $50,000, so it's not exactly a AAA game but it is a game made by a professional and paid studio, so it isn't exactly an indie project either (and it cannot be referred to as "AA" because that term is used to refer to when a game has a few million dollars in budget). Sorry about this weird little rant I just went through a lot of sources in the spam of like ten minutes to find out if it was a AAA game cuz I thought it was and now that I have this useless information on a small game you all have to suffer with this knowledge too :3
if you check the g2a random "premium" key terms and conditions you will see that they say that the games price will be 10$ or more with a review score of at least 80% positives reviews, so they use expensive shovelware with botted reviews to reach those thresholds, so in short, those random g2a keys are just scams, at least your 5$ sacrifice will teach people to not use that site, great video. also call of cthulhu sweep 🎉🎉🎉
Lords and Villeins is actually a quite fun game. I enjoy colony builders like Rimworld and so on every now and then. Lords and Villeins was a game I bought myself and actually enjoyed through, quite a challenge sometimes to
Call of cthulhu is one of my fav childhood games, i was around 7 or 8 when i played it and it used to scare me so much XD, i recently replayed it again and the game is still holding up really well
Unlike g2a, fanatical is more similar to humble bundle. The bundles they offer, be it regular or mystery are made up of curated games. Meaning the games in those bundles are actually games a fair bit of people out there will enjoy. This is because the bundles are provided by the site it self rather than a random seller so there is a whole lot more quality control that goes into this. A funny thing I remember from the past when random key bundles blew up on g2a was that fanatical (it was called bundle stars at the time) actually made a bundle made up of all the crapy games available at the time from g2a bundles, revealed them and sold you 100 of em for like $2.
11:29 Not Cthulhu but a random individual from the Great Race of Celano (i think) ..they arrived earth in the past before humans existed by replacing minds of the race with their own(they originally lived elsewhere, but their planet was doomed so they switched "race" and place and then they kinda started to randomly switched minds of ppl living in differnet time period to scout forward in time, and they kinda already know that they are going to leave earth too after the next two intelligent race dies out way after humans go extinct) by switching race and place yet again and they already know where their race will be cease to exist...soo while bringing back human minds and other intelligent creature's minds they make them write down their life and stuff so it can be placed into their library. (But its a factual error from the writers of this game, since they cannot physically travel time...but yet again Derelith made a tons of changes which he claims was the will of Lovecraft, but probably he just wanted to make some profit...anyway...) So the library can be found in Australia, and i think there was at least 2 stories where the appeared in our time, The Plateau of Leng and idk the other, but their existence is was due to 1.) hibernation 2.) probably those who were hibernated travelled to North America
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth I would personally say is a gem. It's got its flaws for sure, but it's a favorite of mine on the original Xbox. The PC port/s weren't very good sadly, they are known to contain game breaking bugs. You'll definitely need some fan patches if you plan to play the full game on PC.
I fell for these a while ago however I was not nearly as unlucky as you. I got around 50-100 random games and tbh what I got was worth it including my favorite indie story game as of right now. I think it just depends on your luck and the seller.
Convoy is really good if you enjoy that style of game - it's deliberately hard, feels more like a puzzle game sometimes - but I can understand disliking it from an action gamer's perspective. It's like how loads of people love the Total War games but even though I can tell they're well made, I absolutely hate the gameplay style.
I'm pretty sure it is "in love with a ghost - i was feeling down, then i found a nice witch and now we're best friends". If not, I know for a fact it's one of the songs in "Harvest Melodies (Upbeat Lo-fi Hip Hop Mix)" as I just download them and cut them down to the songs I feel are right for the mood of the video
DON'T BUY KEYS. most of the time people either buy them with stolen credit cards or by region prices in bulk, meaning the key seller buys a game with a original value 10$ sets region to chili so now its .25 cents, then sells you the key at 8$ meaning the game dev gets .25 cents and the key seller gets 7.75$ for doing nothing. Devs would rather you pirate their games rather then get keys.
If you watched his previous keys video, yes he went over this himself. Including the devs preferring pirating over buying keys. This isn't meant to be an endorsement of buying keys.
i would love to have been sponsored but no, this wasn't an advertisement. It would be illegal if I didn't disclose that fact in the video itself. I only recommend Fanatical because so many people like gambling with these random steam keys that I'd rather them at least not waste it on games made in less than 5 seconds with G2A.
You usually dont get dupes in the same purchase. If you're lucky you get dupes of a multiplayer game you can gift to someone you know If I'm not mistaken, they even have a refund policy for dupes in the same bundle (i could be talking out of my ass here.)
@@ThePaperKhan You’ll never get duplicates in the same bundle, but they pretty well NEVER change the pool of games. They have some okay games in there, and some really cheap AAA (this guy got lucky with his bundle), but the majority are the trash they can’t sell elsewhere. They put the same keys in every random bundle and use them to fill out non-random bundles; game sourcing aside, it’s no more ethical than G2A.
I watched some guys walkthrough and saw him doing a whole different process which was meant as the intended solution. I assumed that the developers would have put an invisible barrier over the gate so people can't cheese it, but found out that wasn't the case once I actually tried it.
bruh, call of cthulu is a FPS, you can find a 1911, revolver, shotgun, tommy gun, sniper rifle, etc. You actually had a 1911 at the start, and didn't pull it out
You should play resident evil zero, it lets you drop items anywhere without a box. I'd be curious what your thoughts about that system are in that game.
I bought 5 games to try fnatical, and got moonlighter [7-10$] (I had this game for free on epic but i dont enjoy epic besides for fortnite or stuff like that) so I see this as a big win
Nice video btw. But you are comparing two completely different website, fanatical buys their keys from steam, g2a sellers publish games on steam with a high price to sell those "random keys" packages.
Fanatical Random key bundles can also be a mixed bag, especially if you buy multiples within like a couple months (A bundle wont have duplicates in it, but you can get dupes from separate purchases.). If you are going to buy the bundles, buy like two 20 keys every year or so. Plus they get keys legally, so you wont run into the issue of having a game revoked.
Yeah, I stopped counting my keys for "Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!" through Fanatical Mystery Bundles. 😄
hey would you happen to have any of those left laying around?

This is because the bundles are provided by the site it self rather than a random seller so there is a whole lot more quality control that goes into this. A funny thing I remember from the past when random key bundles blew up on g2a was that fanatical (it was called bundle stars at the time) actually made a bundle made up of all the crapy games available at the time from g2a bundles, revealed them and sold you 100 of em for like $2.
Very high quality video! Keep up the good work 😀
2:41 haha that website was the best back then
Aye
Definitely
I used to always play friv and coolmathgames in the computer lab
11:29 Not Cthulhu but a random individual from the Great Race of Celano (i think) ..they arrived earth in the past before humans existed by replacing minds of the race with their own(they originally lived elsewhere, but their planet was doomed so they switched "race" and place and then they kinda started to randomly switched minds of ppl living in differnet time period to scout forward in time, and they kinda already know that they are going to leave earth too after the next two intelligent race dies out way after humans go extinct) by switching race and place yet again and they already know where their race will be cease to exist...soo while bringing back human minds and other intelligent creature's minds they make them write down their life and stuff so it can be placed into their library. (But its a factual error from the writers of this game, since they cannot physically travel time...but yet again Derelith made a tons of changes which he claims was the will of Lovecraft, but probably he just wanted to make some profit...anyway...) So the library can be found in Australia, and i think there was at least 2 stories where the appeared in our time, The Plateau of Leng and idk the other, but their existence is was due to 1.) hibernation 2.) probably those who were hibernated travelled to North America
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth I would personally say is a gem. It's got its flaws for sure, but it's a favorite of mine on the original Xbox. The PC port/s weren't very good sadly, they are known to contain game breaking bugs. You'll definitely need some fan patches if you plan to play the full game on PC.
I fell for these a while ago however I was not nearly as unlucky as you. I got around 50-100 random games and tbh what I got was worth it including my favorite indie story game as of right now. I think it just depends on your luck and the seller.
bomber crew gang approves your apology
We love bomber crew and space crew in this household
2:42 that was my childhood
It was mine as well, since most game sites were a bit questionable
Yea lol @@mrdragonboi
your vids are so high quality, ive been wondering for a while how u arent at 100k+ subs
Thank you! I appreciate ur words 😁
Get this man more subs, this is quality content right here!
- Heaven Dust is a Resident Evil clone
- Lords & Villains is a Dwarf Fortress clone
"I can explain this whole game in 1 word: Escape Room" -Shteve
I realized Escape Room was two words while editing and thought it was just funnier if I left it in 😭😭😭
I remember in early 2014's G2a and Kinguin were HEAVELY, and I mean HEAVELY promoted by youtubers in my country
Call of Cathulu is not a horror walking game :/
Friv is GOATED thank you for reminding me about it, shit made me feel old for some reason
I love how different your videos are!
Love from Brazil bro🩷❤️
Thank you so much! 🫶
12:18 you have to install some fan made patches to make it run without a hitch
Has this guy heard of survival horror?
Convoy is really good if you enjoy that style of game - it's deliberately hard, feels more like a puzzle game sometimes - but I can understand disliking it from an action gamer's perspective. It's like how loads of people love the Total War games but even though I can tell they're well made, I absolutely hate the gameplay style.
What's the song playing in the background at around 10:04 ?
I'm pretty sure it is "in love with a ghost - i was feeling down, then i found a nice witch and now we're best friends".
If not, I know for a fact it's one of the songs in "Harvest Melodies (Upbeat Lo-fi Hip Hop Mix)" as I just download them and cut them down to the songs I feel are right for the mood of the video
i remember playing convoy while waiting for homeworld DOK to release
DON'T BUY KEYS. most of the time people either buy them with stolen credit cards or by region prices in bulk, meaning the key seller buys a game with a original value 10$ sets region to chili so now its .25 cents, then sells you the key at 8$ meaning the game dev gets .25 cents and the key seller gets 7.75$ for doing nothing. Devs would rather you pirate their games rather then get keys.
Thats a tough issue. I want to support the devs but if you cant afford the $10, you probably also cant afford a piracy suit.
If you watched his previous keys video, yes he went over this himself.
Including the devs preferring pirating over buying keys.
This isn't meant to be an endorsement of buying keys.
Since you are an underrated UA-camr, you could cover some pizza tower mods and fangames next
Thats a good idea! I’ll keep it in mind!
"not my fps rotted brain" seconds later "watching my guys go to work just isn't fun"
smh
oh my god when you brought up friv it rushed so many childhood memories to me hahaha loved to play that site
lock call of cthulus frame rate to like 60....also it basically turns into a full on shooter
Friv had some gold nuggets back in the day. For way too many years ago😅
I'm just 19 and Friv along with Cool Math Games was my childhood
Took me a bit to realize the video was an advertisement
i would love to have been sponsored but no, this wasn't an advertisement. It would be illegal if I didn't disclose that fact in the video itself. I only recommend Fanatical because so many people like gambling with these random steam keys that I'd rather them at least not waste it on games made in less than 5 seconds with G2A.
@@shteve.mp4 woah someone actually doing something good for the sake of good
I'm subbing
To be fair, you will get a lot of dupes in the fanatical bundles too but they are just much better games
Yeah, i assumed since i havent bought enough from them I havent seen duplicates yet
You usually dont get dupes in the same purchase. If you're lucky you get dupes of a multiplayer game you can gift to someone you know
If I'm not mistaken, they even have a refund policy for dupes in the same bundle (i could be talking out of my ass here.)
@@ThePaperKhan
You’ll never get duplicates in the same bundle, but they pretty well NEVER change the pool of games. They have some okay games in there, and some really cheap AAA (this guy got lucky with his bundle), but the majority are the trash they can’t sell elsewhere. They put the same keys in every random bundle and use them to fill out non-random bundles; game sourcing aside, it’s no more ethical than G2A.
The Friv nostalgia goes crazy
You still get my like, but I took the village builder comment personally 💀
Really hope that address at 0:10 isn’t your real address brother
Im going to check😈
That is a placeholder. When you write, text becomes black.
If you like HeavenDust you should play the old Resident Evil titles as that's what it's a tribute to.
How have you not considered that tossing the light over the gate is what you’re supposed to do?
I watched some guys walkthrough and saw him doing a whole different process which was meant as the intended solution.
I assumed that the developers would have put an invisible barrier over the gate so people can't cheese it, but found out that wasn't the case once I actually tried it.
"Escape room" don't think thats one word 🤔
roomscape, there, I did it
Pog Bomber crew mentioned
Here on latin america, friv was the childhood of most kids. Sadly, the best version (Flash) got removed ; - ;
Call of Cthulhu is a fantastic game. The big downside is that it's a buggy mess of a game...
damm call of cthulhu was fire. some parts are bit bullet sponges
bruh, call of cthulu is a FPS, you can find a 1911, revolver, shotgun, tommy gun, sniper rifle, etc. You actually had a 1911 at the start, and didn't pull it out
frin? nah do you remember Andkon? that was my entire childhood right there
I grew up a friv and y8 kid 😪
yessss dude i love Andkon, I still visit it sometimes just to see the games i played as a kid
Looks like Hotspace Station was removed from Steam at some point after you recorded your video.
16:04 so they shot -187581 bullets?
FRIV on top as a '06 kid i spent my early days on it
You should play resident evil zero, it lets you drop items anywhere without a box.
I'd be curious what your thoughts about that system are in that game.
8:20 is that the music from the game or is that "In love with a ghost" I'm hearing?
Not sure. I usually just search “lofi beats upbeat/covers” and use specific songs that I like as background music
@@shteve.mp4 ah ok, I think that's track 2 of their album "healing". Nice stuff, makes me nostalgic.
Hotspace station aint even for sale on steam anymore lol
Great video! But yes your brain is probably FPS rotted 😭
I bought 5 games to try fnatical, and got moonlighter [7-10$] (I had this game for free on epic but i dont enjoy epic besides for fortnite or stuff like that) so I see this as a big win
9:20 Resident Evil problems
please do more of this
Only ogs know what FRIV was...
Friv mini dash slapped
The role of six lore 9:10
I LOVE CALL OF CTHULHU DARK CORNERS OF THE EARTH!!!
Nice video btw. But you are comparing two completely different website, fanatical buys their keys from steam, g2a sellers publish games on steam with a high price to sell those "random keys" packages.
Lmao are you deaf?
Bomber Crew uh... Crew, rise up!
Is escape room one word?
it is if you write it escaperoom
5:06 london
one word for you! Escaperoom!
just wait till he starts getting those fake steam game keys few days back lmaoooooo
Bro, friv was goated
