Hey EreN, just a bit of feedback, your intonation sounded a bit different on this video and felt a little more flat and dry, almost kind of boring at parts. Just thought I would mention, good video regardless!
Thanks for the feedback! Might be due to the fact that I use a different microphone when recording myself in VR, but it's also been a while since doing voice overs for videos hahaha
Oh I couldn’t help but mention that I find it interesting you found this to be the case. Might be a good idea to give Eren some timestamps so he’ll know exactly what came across that way!
I feel like when most people say “games aren’t fun anymore” they take a mental shortcut and actually mean “AAA games aren’t fun anymore”. And for the most part, yea they are not. But even then, they’re only unfun for people who played games for a long time. Take CoD for instance. It’s a run of the mill FPS, with as many generic mechanics as possible. The only reason why that wouldn’t be fun is if you’ve already played a load of FPS games previously. For the average person, CoD is dumb fun that they can play every weekend to unwind after a 9-5. And that’s perfectly fine.
Completely agree with everything you said today. I've always found it weird that people will use blanket statements like "x isn't fun anymore" as if they've experienced everything there is to offer when they've probably done/played the same things over and over again. Good video as always and I'm really liking this different style you've got going on!
I think the video game scene is currently in the best possible state it could be in, and it's almost definitely going to get better with time. Right now we're enjoying an incredible amount of variety, simply because game development is becoming so accessible that literally anyone with a computer can make and release a game. Video games as an art form are being pushed to their limits, and we're seeing some amazing products as a result. Indie developers are giving us both masterclass game design and thought-provoking art pieces that push the definition of "video game" harder and harder.
fax my brother! recently, i've noticed that a lot of my own friends have been complaining about the rising number of low-effort cash grabs that have come out recently. i agree that it sucks to see, but for every flop to avoid there's a masterpiece to play. getting hung up on the unstoppable increase of aaa trash is tiring, so i'll just enjoy the good stuff without a second thought instead!
Hiya there! I know this topic has been done to death already, but hopefully you managed to find today's video interesting one way or another. If you'd like more casual vids where I chat like this with you, feel free to support me by becoming a channel member through my link in the description. Perhaps you'd like to join the Discord server to talk with me there as well? Anyhow, I'll catch you in the next video. For now, have a lovely rest of your day, and take care!
Bro I saw this game before I saw and played Ultrakill and then genuinely thought Ultrakill was a reaver ripoff lmao even tho Ultrakill came out first. They're not ripoffs off of any game, they're both their own beautiful crack fuelled first person shooters.
I agree that the alt marksman is good. I like it and use it however if you have the regular marksman and have a different alt revolver is better because then you get the splitshot whilst also having the option for that sweet damage buff too.
I know this may sound a bit odd, but I prefer using slab sharpshooter over slab piercer for a variety of reasons such as being able to stop projectiles which comes in handy more times than I can count (You can also do some sick high damage tech with that's easy to do btw).
i 100% agree with you, and i wish i found this video sooner. i'm primarily a speedrunner and theorycrafter, and while its significantly less common of a sentiment in that scene, its still definitely there. The main issue i've always had with this argument against certain weapons, or whatever it happens to be at the time, is that literally EVERY weapon has a place where its optimal. not good, not great, not second best, 100%, fully optimal. slab marksman? many top swordsmachine kills use it, same with default piercer. blue and green nails? been seen used in a variety of 0-5, 6-2, and 4-4 instakills. default sawed on? 5-1 any%, its used in wave 2. screwdriver? top flesh prison kills use it, and i believe some panopticon ones do too. are these options more niche than their counterparts? yeah, they are. But devaluing that niche, and especially ignoring the fact that people can intentionally play around that niche to get more value out of it more often, is completely ridiculous. Even if you actively ignore having fun, actively ignore personal preference, saying that certain weapons are unusable is objectively incorrect. let people enjoy things.
