Extfraction is extremely popular for a reason. They were some of the best action films to come out in the last decade. Also WTF @Skillup why on Earth would you support GameFreak (of ALL companies) over the hackers. GameFreak and all its employees need to be held accountable for such shoddy/lazy/uninspired work for last 15 years
Are you solo developing it? Because it seems insane for a solo dev to pull off! Loved the vibe, have wishlisted it and will be jumping in when it releases! Industry needs more people like you!
If anyone hasn't heard of the "make employees do nothing" style of Japanese layoffs and is confused about the specifics I recommend looking up how Hideo Kojima 's team was treated at Konami before Kojima started his own studio. I haven't looked up the specifics up of how Bandai Namco is treating these employees but "do nothing" can legitimately mean "do nothing." In Konami's case employees on the MGS5 team were moved to floors without air conditioning. If I recall correctly they had computers but they didn't have Internet access. So they were just rotting in the summer heat for a few months until they all left. I'm not saying Bandai Namco is doing that exactly but Japanese companies can be pretty brutal with their voluntary layoff tactics.
@@KaiserMattTygore927I mean, at that point, you DO give them a legal reason to fire you, which means you might not get severance and benefits. At least if you resign, you do it on your term after finding a new job.
it's always "the game underperformed" or "didn't meet expectations". I've never heard a company come out and say "we majorly messed up with our predictions". it seems odd that 100% of the time it's the fault of the developers (making it badly) and consumers (not buying it), rather than an issue in the much more difficult task of precisely and accurately predicting the future. I'd assume more often than not it's their nonsense estimates that are to blame for any mismatch in sales figures
I've questioned these 'expectations' going back to Dead Space 3 and Mass Effect 3 when EA expected 5 million in sales for both of those despite the prior games being nowhere near it. Publishers just make something up and point the finger when they are wrong.
@@greed-1914 exactly right. no company can claim to have a strong methodology for making these estimates IF they predict more people will buy a sequel than the prior entry (when the audience will be the existing audience minus those that dropped off, excluding franchises with entirely distinct and unconnected entries)

0:56 Gonna stop you right there, big guy. Warframe Mobile isn't a spinoff, it's literally the same exact game complete with cross save. Fortnite does the same thing. That's not what Destiny: Rising is. Bungie SHOULD HAVE made "Destiny 2 on mobile so players could continue their progress on another platform, like they say they wanted Destiny 3 to do", but instead, Bungie sold permission to use the IP to a mobile studio to make a completely separate spin off using recognizable characters and lore and locations to save them development time, thus ensuring the quickest turnaround on investment. Also coming out today is a playable "shareware" demo in Warframe for the 1999 content officially releasing this winter, available to all players not just people far into the game. Probably worth checking out more than Destiny: Rising.
no way destiny would've worked on mobile, it's already falling apart on pc and you think it'll survive on mobile? maybe if you wanted to carry a mini nuke around wherever you went
@dankerbell What do you think Destiny: Rising is? Lower frame rate, but faster paced, more intense combat, and they're advertising 6 player activities.

@16:00 I like the Extraction movies. Directed by long time stunt man Sam Hargrave who’s done a lot of great action stunts. They might be largely forgettable as a film, but do have some amazing long one-takes and stunt sequences and camera work. I’d recommend them, they’re a good “turn off your brain” action movies.

Yeah, this is the most common negative I see, but the series always leaned more towards being accurate to the show than being a balanced fighting game.
26:52 This bit was odd to hear, and it makes me wonder how much the Skillup team communicates internally, because Ralph really mischaracterized Edmond's preview write-up for Unknown 9, seemingly supplanting it with his own impressions. Ed's preview was very positive, saying the game surprised him because it looked AA but was more innovative and fun than many recent big-budget AAAs. He wrapped it up by saying what he played was really fun, left a strong impression on him, and that he's looking forward to the release. Ralph summed "Ed's" words as saying it felt old and rough around the edges?? Nothing wrong with two people having different opinions, but it's super weird to see Ralph, who is ultimately the face of this mini brand, muscle his own view ahead of that of his colleague, misrepresenting theirs in the process. I hope it's just a fluke. Maybe he didn't have time to read the full preview before writing his own script, and just skimmed a few phrases from the start and end, getting the wrong idea.
I doubt that's the case but I actually do respect your concern cause that can be so easily misunderstood, so mistakes like that do need addressed and avoided. Ralph is constantly on the go for events and reviews so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a mistake but you're right, I hope he corrects that.
Would guess it's a mistake due to the deadline for This Week, might have happened like you figured... Ralph rushed and just skimmed the review. Actually kinda cool that they're big enough that this is not acceptable anymore haha
@@cykeok3525there seems to have been a significant decline in these weekly videos. There’s numerous mistakes in each one whether factual or in what skill up try’s to say
@@aadipie i think it’s cause he’s got way more on the table now. He’s reviewing multiple games, doing developer interviews, traveling to multiple conventions and for in-person game previews, and has the FPS podcast. I’d suggest an additional writer but then it wouldn’t really be Ralph giving us his perspective on the video game news. It’s a pickle! 🤔
Yeah i feel like both those movies went way under the radar for most people. Not the best films ever by any means, but both movies are still fun. Gray man was also surprisingly really good.
@@Caspeaon I honestly don't see why any of these two movies should be regarded as anything lower than an 8. If people can ignore how ludicrous plot and world of any of the John Wick movies are and appreciate those movies for what they are, they can absolutely do the same for extraction. The action in those movies is incredible and the acting and plot is are believable and immersive. Like, Extraction has a rotten romatoes summary that complains about "aimless violence". Meanwhile in John Wick 3 those two dogs are are castrating an army of people in a scene that could end at any time but the writers decided to spawn 10 more badies to be dispused of by groin-missile dogs but from a different angle this time.... and somehow that's...uh... aimful violence? To be clear, I really enjoy the John Wick movies. But there's a weird double standard where somehow Extraction is somehow worse (not exactly badly rated of course) because they're so action focused. A bit weird.
Some fantastic stuntwork. The camera man jumped off a roof in the first film to create a cool shot, and the second film has a fantastic single sequence set in a prison. Well worth watching for the action alone, but some good writing and characters too.
They need to put a statue of Ralph in the D2 Tower to commemerate his unwavering commitment to covering the game, even when it has sucked massive balls.
Bandai like "yeah, we've moved people and forced them to sit in rooms with nothing to do since April.......this is totally normal". what kind of nonsense is "we're just taking time to move them between projects"? how can you afford to pay 6 months of wages to 200 people doing nothing? especially when that 200 people make up almost a quarter of your overall workforce
People talk about the "You're buying a license, not the game" discussion as if it's something new. It's been this way for decades. In fact, Take2 used the "you're buying a license" argument as their primary defense in the "Hot Coffee" lawsuit. That was way back in 2004, and the "license vs. ownership" precedent had been around for a long time by that point.
I've started buying games mostly off of GOG around the time Scott Ross started Stop Killing Games. Buying hardware from Valve and games from GOG is kinda wild. GOG integration on the Steamdeck is not 100% seamless but oh well.
Ya, it has always been this way and always will be simply because it's software and not a physical object. You can't own the code on the cartridge/disc/exe, you can't do what you want with it and then redistribute it, or take it apart and share the source code, for obvious reasons. The license mechanic is what allows software it exist as a "product."
The interesting thing is your buying a license off Valve, for a game owned by another publisher/developer... so even if Valve dissolves all its responsibilities, its still the middle man, the publisher can be still liable to honor the license regardless of the position of Valve. That said a lot of governments are looking at licenses/ownership/non-transferrable accounts of digital goods as it has come up a few times in Estate Law. Like grandpa can't bequeath his 23 year old iTunes collection to his grandkids can he :P
@@Bustaperizm You're absolutely right. But that's not what the corporations argue. They state that THEY own the work, and are only selling access to it. Kind of like how a movie theater sells tickets to a movie. But that's not what games are. They are sold under the pretense that they can be used at home, as much as desired, for as long as you want. But if we take the whole "you can't own art" argument to its natural conclusion; If nobody "owns" it, they also shouldn't be allowed to restrict the access to it. We wouldn't allow someone to take the Mona Lisa and store it in their basement so nobody else can see it. Why is a corporation allowed to take a piece of art (game) and restrict access to it? If they are no longer going to allow access to it, shouldn't it be surrendered to the public domain?
Seeing that opening segment makes me still long for the day we see a Skill Up review of the Outer Wilds. Surely anyone who has followed this channel (and has an ounce of sense) will have played it by now. Come on Ralph. You know you want to. And please do it in your OG style -*ladies and gentleman I present to you my review of The Outer Wilds’.
You should absolutely make the time to watch Extraction. Sam Hargrave as a director did a phenomenal job with a movie full of stunts work. I imagine the same will be said about a ninja movie. I'm actually really into this news!
The Extraction movies are great honestly. Pure nonsensical and continuous action for 2 hours, high budget and well executed! Pop corn movie straight out of the 90s
Not the SFX I would use. Sounds like he's being a bit rough. You should never really be playing on max difficulty... unless you're a masochist, of course.
Not a single word about the Factorio DLC coming out Monday? One of the greatest games ever made is getting a massive dlc and no UA-camr is talking about it at all
Just jumping in to defend extraction, one of the very very few netflix action movies that are genuinely worth watching. The franchise deserves more love.
Duuuude!!!! What are you waiting for?!?!? Go and see Extraction 1 and 2. They are brilliant and highly recommended. the action is also top notch, and gives me hope for Shinobi.
What do you mean? I did watch the Extraction movies! They have great action set pieces and great camera work! If you're into stunts those movies are a great watch. Ps: also, if you like really good "oner" shots (as in a really long take) the first and second one have some really impressive ones.
Extraction 1 is AWESOME. 2 is okay, but if you like action movies in the John Wick style with some tacticool gloss on top, please check them out. It's not quippy or anything either.
People always gave Ubisoft shit for the "Get used to not owning games" quote, but now that every company has to be upfront about it, I'm curious how people are going to feel about that discourse.
16:00, that's a bit harsh the Extraction movies are actually really quite good if you enjoy the John Wick style of action movie. The second is more goofey than the first but both honestly have no right being as good as they were for a Netflix exclusive with some rather impressive 'single take' sequences
@@gustavohuehue7460 gotta love how they simultaneously argue that controllers are so easy and op yet you'll never see them even consider switching to one since mnk is so much better haha
I feel like a big part of the fall of ZA/UM story involved businesses being set up in UK/London to then transfer the IP to and steal it from the creators. This well-funded London-based studio seems much more likely to be an outfit related corporate business side that pushed out the creatives and took over the company (whether their connection is being stated publicly or not)
I don't live in the states but I always kept hearing Cali has something actually resembling customer protection-- on a sliding scale compared to other places in NA at least. Canada's been pretty terrible with it.
Or a big L. Previously there was a grey area and you still had the ability to have legal action if you games became unavailable like with "The Crew / Accursed Farms" lawsuit. Now legal action is no longer possible.
Not sure why this is a “rare W”. California’s economy keeps America afloat _and_ has a lot of amazing consumer protection laws. My favorites are the “one click to cancel” subscription law and the privacy laws that allow customers to prevent businesses from selling personal data and requesting deletion of personal data in an easy way.
I think its important to note that while GOG does give you an DRM free offline installer, you are still just purchasing a license that could be revoked in the exact same manners that it could be on any other store front, so unless you are keeping everything on a backup drive you can still lose the access to download those installers
A company can only legally revoke access to your license if you were using your copy to commit a criminal offense, like distributing/sharing it and/or making copies of your copy for others to use...and no matter TOS/EULA there's still no actual law that supports any company to revoke licenses arbitrarily.
@@mentokmindtruck2443 You're right. The point I was trying to make is that GOG isn't all that different from any other digital store front in the regard of actually "owning" a game. If someone prefers the service that GOG provides over something like Steam, then by all means they should spend their money where they see fit but ultimately you have no more or less rights than you would have on any other store front. All this licensing discourse feels ultimately pointless because its the way its always been and likely the way it'll always be and outside of online-only services shutting down, no one is trying to rob our digital libraries of our games.
Well said. Once you learn the controls the game really opens up in a way that is very enjoyable. There is a reason these games were popular. Kinda how you need to learn the controls of a fighting game character before you can deeply enjoy a fighter. You needed to learn Lara's controls before you could deeply enjoy the level design and real challenging platforming.
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time. Sad to see the third one no longer be available and you can't get the series anywhere. The need to rerelease the originals or do a good sequel
18:59 Please please please Ralph look at Aspyr’s wiki page, they’ve been porting remasters since 2019 and 90 - 95% have been good port apart from BF collection and KoTR2 DLC. I know people love to dunk on them but they only have 2 black sheep in a great flock as of right now.
To answer your question: Aspyr haven't remastered Episode I Racer or Racer's Revenge, but someone else did a few years back and so both are available right now on PS4/5.

EXTRACTION is fucking awesome. If you haven't seen it, you played yourself.
The Steam Deck is "basically available everywhere else"
People outside of North America and Europe:
And New Zealand. Gaben lived here for several years! He first mentioned it publicly at a venue here. Yet still no deck love for us
It's also not available in Finland and Switzerland
@@gurthang667 Hoping this is a small step to NZ distribution for you in the near future.
26:52 This bit was odd to hear, and it makes me wonder how much the Skillup team communicates internally, because Ralph really mischaracterized Edmond's preview write-up for Unknown 9, seemingly supplanting it with his own impressions. Ed's preview was very positive, saying the game surprised him because it looked AA but was more innovative and fun than many recent big-budget AAAs. He wrapped it up by saying what he played was really fun, left a strong impression on him, and that he's looking forward to the release. Ralph summed "Ed's" words as saying it felt old and rough around the edges??
Nothing wrong with two people having different opinions, but it's super weird to see Ralph, who is ultimately the face of this mini brand, muscle his own view ahead of that of his colleague, misrepresenting theirs in the process. I hope it's just a fluke. Maybe he didn't have time to read the full preview before writing his own script, and just skimmed a few phrases from the start and end, getting the wrong idea.
I doubt that's the case but I actually do respect your concern cause that can be so easily misunderstood, so mistakes like that do need addressed and avoided. Ralph is constantly on the go for events and reviews so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a mistake but you're right, I hope he corrects that.
Yeah, Ed called it "a PS3 game in a good way" and Ralph really didn't convey that part well
Would guess it's a mistake due to the deadline for This Week, might have happened like you figured... Ralph rushed and just skimmed the review.
Actually kinda cool that they're big enough that this is not acceptable anymore haha
@@cykeok3525there seems to have been a significant decline in these weekly videos. There’s numerous mistakes in each one whether factual or in what skill up try’s to say
@@aadipie i think it’s cause he’s got way more on the table now. He’s reviewing multiple games, doing developer interviews, traveling to multiple conventions and for in-person game previews, and has the FPS podcast. I’d suggest an additional writer but then it wouldn’t really be Ralph giving us his perspective on the video game news. It’s a pickle! 🤔
Ay now, the Extraction movies (particularly the second) are actually pretty great.
The second movie is genuinely pretty great. Shame on you shill up 😤
Yeah i feel like both those movies went way under the radar for most people. Not the best films ever by any means, but both movies are still fun. Gray man was also surprisingly really good.
Both movies were gritty and great for what they are which is hair raising action. Skill up dropped the ball on that one.
@@Caspeaon I honestly don't see why any of these two movies should be regarded as anything lower than an 8. If people can ignore how ludicrous plot and world of any of the John Wick movies are and appreciate those movies for what they are, they can absolutely do the same for extraction. The action in those movies is incredible and the acting and plot is are believable and immersive.
Like, Extraction has a rotten romatoes summary that complains about "aimless violence". Meanwhile in John Wick 3 those two dogs are are castrating an army of people in a scene that could end at any time but the writers decided to spawn 10 more badies to be dispused of by groin-missile dogs but from a different angle this time.... and somehow that's...uh... aimful violence?
To be clear, I really enjoy the John Wick movies. But there's a weird double standard where somehow Extraction is somehow worse (not exactly badly rated of course) because they're so action focused. A bit weird.
Some fantastic stuntwork. The camera man jumped off a roof in the first film to create a cool shot, and the second film has a fantastic single sequence set in a prison. Well worth watching for the action alone, but some good writing and characters too.
They need to put a statue of Ralph in the D2 Tower to commemerate his unwavering commitment to covering the game, even when it has sucked massive balls.
Bandai like "yeah, we've moved people and forced them to sit in rooms with nothing to do since April.......this is totally normal". what kind of nonsense is "we're just taking time to move them between projects"? how can you afford to pay 6 months of wages to 200 people doing nothing? especially when that 200 people make up almost a quarter of your overall workforce
People talk about the "You're buying a license, not the game" discussion as if it's something new. It's been this way for decades. In fact, Take2 used the "you're buying a license" argument as their primary defense in the "Hot Coffee" lawsuit. That was way back in 2004, and the "license vs. ownership" precedent had been around for a long time by that point.
I've started buying games mostly off of GOG around the time Scott Ross started Stop Killing Games. Buying hardware from Valve and games from GOG is kinda wild. GOG integration on the Steamdeck is not 100% seamless but oh well.
Ya, it has always been this way and always will be simply because it's software and not a physical object. You can't own the code on the cartridge/disc/exe, you can't do what you want with it and then redistribute it, or take it apart and share the source code, for obvious reasons. The license mechanic is what allows software it exist as a "product."
We can't own it. Then how can the corporations?
Kind of like owning music or thoughts on a page.
So what do you mean specifically?
The interesting thing is your buying a license off Valve, for a game owned by another publisher/developer... so even if Valve dissolves all its responsibilities, its still the middle man, the publisher can be still liable to honor the license regardless of the position of Valve. That said a lot of governments are looking at licenses/ownership/non-transferrable accounts of digital goods as it has come up a few times in Estate Law. Like grandpa can't bequeath his 23 year old iTunes collection to his grandkids can he :P
@@Bustaperizm You're absolutely right. But that's not what the corporations argue. They state that THEY own the work, and are only selling access to it. Kind of like how a movie theater sells tickets to a movie. But that's not what games are. They are sold under the pretense that they can be used at home, as much as desired, for as long as you want.
But if we take the whole "you can't own art" argument to its natural conclusion; If nobody "owns" it, they also shouldn't be allowed to restrict the access to it. We wouldn't allow someone to take the Mona Lisa and store it in their basement so nobody else can see it. Why is a corporation allowed to take a piece of art (game) and restrict access to it? If they are no longer going to allow access to it, shouldn't it be surrendered to the public domain?
16:00 hey I saw both extraction movies. They won’t change your life but honestly, they’re very good for what they are.
Same here. I'm suprised he didnt like it. Its not perfect but for what it does its pretty awesome
Extraction 2 has one of the best long, no-cut action scenes I've seen
@@manngeorge9088absolutely!
Oh man that clock joke at the end had me rolling with laughter
🤣😂🤣
Fantastic choice of sound effects!
Excuse me. The Extraction movies are actually excellent action films ☝️
Seeing that opening segment makes me still long for the day we see a Skill Up review of the Outer Wilds. Surely anyone who has followed this channel (and has an ounce of sense) will have played it by now. Come on Ralph. You know you want to. And please do it in your OG style -*ladies and gentleman I present to you my review of The Outer Wilds’.
I’d say the reluctance must also be that he’d be afraid to spoil anything
Extraction 1 and 2 are some of the most watched movies on netflix and also awesome
I think more people watched the extraction movies than people played destiny this year.
Cmon shill up, those movies were awesome
Extraction 1 and 2 were some of the most watched Netflix movies of the last few years and reviewed really well.
You should absolutely make the time to watch Extraction. Sam Hargrave as a director did a phenomenal job with a movie full of stunts work. I imagine the same will be said about a ninja movie. I'm actually really into this news!
Watch Extraction 1+2. Your welcome.
The Extraction movies are great honestly. Pure nonsensical and continuous action for 2 hours, high budget and well executed! Pop corn movie straight out of the 90s
Extraction is absolutely sick.
Extraction is a modern classic and the 2nd is really good
Pretty sure that Extraction movies were actually very popular with great viewership.
32:57 - Absolute Cinema! :D
Not the SFX I would use.
Sounds like he's being a bit rough. You should never really be playing on max difficulty... unless you're a masochist, of course.
Holy shit I was dying
Extraction 1 and 2 are decent, I'd recommend them for a chill night
18:52 - Dang they moved valentines day that's wild
Not a single word about the Factorio DLC coming out Monday? One of the greatest games ever made is getting a massive dlc and no UA-camr is talking about it at all
Was just going to comment this, It's pretty wild it wasn't mentioned.
Just jumping in to defend extraction, one of the very very few netflix action movies that are genuinely worth watching. The franchise deserves more love.
Duuuude!!!! What are you waiting for?!?!? Go and see Extraction 1 and 2. They are brilliant and highly recommended. the action is also top notch, and gives me hope for Shinobi.
You should watch Extraction, it's a good action movie. The sequel has better shot action sequences but a weaker story imo.
What do you mean? I did watch the Extraction movies! They have great action set pieces and great camera work! If you're into stunts those movies are a great watch.
Ps: also, if you like really good "oner" shots (as in a really long take) the first and second one have some really impressive ones.
Not joking the Extraction movie are unironically good.
extraction 1&2 are realy good
Extraction 1 and 2 are sikkkkk
Nah dude those extraction movies are actually dope. Just fun action flicks.
The hell you on about? The Extraction movies are some of the best action flicks of the past decade.
Extraction movies were extremely fun
@18:53 Do you mean 14th Feb not October as you mentioned Valentines Day?
Came to the comments to say the same thing
@@Ginormous76same 😂
I’m assuming Australia holds Valentine’s Day eight months later than North America.
Had to do a double take of this. Lmao
Extraction movies are pretty good, better than most slop Netflix makes
i did watch extraction 1 not a bad movie
I did see Extraction and you should too Shill Up - they're some of the rare good Netflix Original movies.
Extraction 1 is AWESOME. 2 is okay, but if you like action movies in the John Wick style with some tacticool gloss on top, please check them out. It's not quippy or anything either.
People always gave Ubisoft shit for the "Get used to not owning games" quote, but now that every company has to be upfront about it, I'm curious how people are going to feel about that discourse.
Nah, iirc the guy who said that meant it not in a license way, but a subscription way (talking about Ubisoft's own subscription service).
16:00, that's a bit harsh the Extraction movies are actually really quite good if you enjoy the John Wick style of action movie. The second is more goofey than the first but both honestly have no right being as good as they were for a Netflix exclusive with some rather impressive 'single take' sequences
Extraction is extremely popular :D and it rivals John Wick in choreography and cinematography. That is ACTUALLY good news for the shinby movies!
The Extraction movies are fuckin fire. I think you're missing out, man lol
Extraction 1 and 2 are amazing deserves recognition
yeah, super dismissive but if you like action, those movies absolutely deliver.
Warframe Mobile is not a spin off like the games you said in the list, it is literally a port
Same goes for Fortnite, he bungled that segment :/
@@gracelandtoo6240 exactly
Sir Extraction 1 + 2 were Netflix most watched movies. I know plenty of people who watched that
The extraction movies were very popular for Netflix (at least the first one was) and are great movies.
16:06 the extraction movies (mainly the first) are two of my favourite movies 😭 i feel attacked
Youre sleeping on Extraction, both 1 and 2 are great action movies
You dropped the ball by not using “leakachu”
16:01 I watched the first one. It was basically Australian Man on Fire. It was pretty solid.
The Extraction movies are pretty good pop corn flicks that you should actually watch mate.
You’re tripping my guy Extraction 1&2 was 🔥
Did he just........forget to add Metaphor in the "what came out last week" section?
The first Extraction film is very well done imo
15:57 yes i did, and the movie was not even a flop
Extraction movies are great
In almost certain extraction, 1 and 2 were a huge success. Lol, weird take
Bruh Extraction was fantastic
Just think Destiny console players, someone is going to have more aim assist than you lol.
It's gonna be official aimbots
Mommy says it’s my turn on the aim assist 🐻
Nothing to do with console and everything to do with controller lol. MnK players are so funny
I don't get why people praise how "other worldly" it is to play on mnk compared to controllers, yet they are that whiny about aum assist.
@@gustavohuehue7460 gotta love how they simultaneously argue that controllers are so easy and op yet you'll never see them even consider switching to one since mnk is so much better haha
I feel like a big part of the fall of ZA/UM story involved businesses being set up in UK/London to then transfer the IP to and steal it from the creators. This well-funded London-based studio seems much more likely to be an outfit related corporate business side that pushed out the creatives and took over the company (whether their connection is being stated publicly or not)
Extraction was good
A rare California W. Steam absolutely should have to disclose this information.
I don't live in the states but I always kept hearing Cali has something actually resembling customer protection-- on a sliding scale compared to other places in NA at least. Canada's been pretty terrible with it.
Except California is largely winning constantly. There's a reason the state is still so massive.
@aethertag1530 unless youre walking down the street. Might get shot, might get shabbed by a used needle 😅
Or a big L.
Previously there was a grey area and you still had the ability to have legal action if you games became unavailable like with "The Crew / Accursed Farms" lawsuit.
Now legal action is no longer possible.
Not sure why this is a “rare W”. California’s economy keeps America afloat _and_ has a lot of amazing consumer protection laws.
My favorites are the “one click to cancel” subscription law and the privacy laws that allow customers to prevent businesses from selling personal data and requesting deletion of personal data in an easy way.
I think its important to note that while GOG does give you an DRM free offline installer, you are still just purchasing a license that could be revoked in the exact same manners that it could be on any other store front, so unless you are keeping everything on a backup drive you can still lose the access to download those installers
A company can only legally revoke access to your license if you were using your copy to commit a criminal offense, like distributing/sharing it and/or making copies of your copy for others to use...and no matter TOS/EULA there's still no actual law that supports any company to revoke licenses arbitrarily.
@@mentokmindtruck2443 You're right. The point I was trying to make is that GOG isn't all that different from any other digital store front in the regard of actually "owning" a game. If someone prefers the service that GOG provides over something like Steam, then by all means they should spend their money where they see fit but ultimately you have no more or less rights than you would have on any other store front. All this licensing discourse feels ultimately pointless because its the way its always been and likely the way it'll always be and outside of online-only services shutting down, no one is trying to rob our digital libraries of our games.
Extraction 1 and 2 are fucking SICK what are you talking about???
Disco Elysium is truly one of those experiences which transcends its medium. That's why the outcome of the studio's fallout is so convoluted.
16:40 - the old tomb raider games were fantastic though? The tank controls are built around the gameplay, they worked wonderfully
The haters will never understand. I still play them once a year and they feel as great as ever
Well said. Once you learn the controls the game really opens up in a way that is very enjoyable. There is a reason these games were popular. Kinda how you need to learn the controls of a fighting game character before you can deeply enjoy a fighter. You needed to learn Lara's controls before you could deeply enjoy the level design and real challenging platforming.
Extraction movies are actually pretty good.
The podracer games HAVE been remastered Ralph. Hell of a good time
3:59 skip Destiny stuff
He gives Destiny way too much play
Legend
Tysm
Ty
hero
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time. Sad to see the third one no longer be available and you can't get the series anywhere. The need to rerelease the originals or do a good sequel
Your Outer Wilds Timestamp for TWIVG: 0:10 ✅
Extraction is awesome.
I didn't realise October 14th was Valentines day either.
I look forward to this show every week, thank you Shillup for being my rock in this crazy world, stay safe out there y'all!
Hey man, you too
18:59 Please please please Ralph look at Aspyr’s wiki page, they’ve been porting remasters since 2019 and 90 - 95% have been good port apart from BF collection and KoTR2 DLC. I know people love to dunk on them but they only have 2 black sheep in a great flock as of right now.
this, i played several star wars games from aspyr and they where fine.
To answer your question: Aspyr haven't remastered Episode I Racer or Racer's Revenge, but someone else did a few years back and so both are available right now on PS4/5.
Funny when I saw this art book for the Outer Wilds, I was like Ralph is gonna enjoy this one! And now they’re sponsoring in his channel. Smart!
It’s just “outer wilds”
@@aussieseal9979pretty sure it’s “the outer wilds’s” actually
What, no it's definitely not that xD. It's Outer Wilds.
@Fantastic_Mr_Fox nah bro i think it's the outer worlds
@@Michael-fs1cw it’s not lol.
Extraction was an excellent action movie....just sayin. 🤷♂️
Dude...the extraction movies are awesome. Your loss I guess 🤷
