I think side content can be very different. Like, taje AC Unity and Witcher 3, bith released roughly at the dame time. Witcher side content made me feelore immersed most of the time, added to the overall feel and atmosphere, showed the characters in a different light. While AC Unity's was just busywork and most of the time felt like an endless todo list. What im trying to say is yes, quality matters more, but i would say that bare and linear games with 4 hour story lines have their place, but this place is not worth 60 bucks :)
You’re a great creator, your quality is great and you make good commentary, keep at it I found you on TikTok but I can see you doing amazing on RU-vid too
I dont comment often but your account is a absolute hidden gem. You’re built for this youtube stuff and have a great grasp on what makes gaming fun. Keep up the tiktoks and i’ll be waiting for the blow up 🔥
I remember back when I was a kid, you needed a parents email to be connected to the account as well. I understand that approach won’t work now due to kids being smarter than we were but something like this needs to be put in place
Hey Unc, I love your content and I’ve been watching your content since your brim lineups and your jokes and now I’m here. I love your opinions and it’s like some type of wisdom that speaks to me. I just wanted to say thank you for your golden content and keep doing what you do best. I love you big dawg
*AC Odyssey, Agents Of Mayhem, Control, Fallout 4, Far Cry 5, Hitman 1&2, Mafia 3, MGS5 and Yakuza 0 are the best single player experiences I've had the last 10 years. 150+ hours in each of them. AC Valhalla got about 250 hours out of me because of the side activities alone but the main story was GOD AWFUL 💀 Online hasn't been fun for me since 2012. COD:MW1&2, GTA4, Backbreaker Football, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Saints Row 3....2008 through 2011 was the best era for online* 🙌
Top 5 favorites here: 1. Silent Hill 2 2. The Cat Lady 3. Bloodborne 4. Devil May Cry 3 5. Bioshock 1 All single player, although I enjoy multiplayergames as well, especially with friends
A while ago, it felt like in just one year there was about a decades' worth of games. But now it feels like it takes a decade for just one good game to break through.
*I'm so glad its finally over 😭 I think we'll definitely see more F2P single player games or lower priced smaller games with more content. I miss the days of the demo, its time to bring it back.*
*Achievement hunting is really what keeps me playing most games beyond 10 hours these days. I'm convinced achievements were created to hide the fact that developers have no idea how to properly master Replay Value.*
Shadow of the collossus is probably the most unique experience in gaming. I wouldnt call it perfect or not even near perfect BUT it does not have to be. I suggest to every one that calls themselves a gamer to not miss out on this game
But im paying for the content... This is like COD a new COD is stupidly expensive for what? For a 3 hour story in hard mode? And a multiplayer which die in a year because the next CID cane out? If i have to pay than give me reason. Like RDR2 its at least 60 hour to complete the story or more and you have another 300 hour content and its good... Also doing the side stuff is up to me i dont have to do it
@@dqRomanYou get it totally wrong tho... Why did I have to pay that much where they give you literally nothing... Let me ask you. You gonna buy an expensive car but the car dosnt have anything special in it that make it expensive? If I can buy an apple device in the same price as a Android or Windows maybe Linux... So let's stick to the COD sure I buy it but dont sale it that expensive... Or az least add content... And again side stuff is always optional
@@kristof.demeter well my android phone costs more than any apple phone so yes lol. also youre making the case for your money equating to a better product. and nobody is disagreeing with that. thats common sense. a better game doesnt mean a longer game or a game with more things to do. we're talking about two different things
I'm an adult with a job, social life, hobbies. I don't have time to sink 80+ hours into a single playthrough of a game just to see everything it has to offer
So? Games ment to be fun... If you dosnt have fun playing games than its not the games fault always... I also have job social life hobbies (also Gaming is a hobbi) and still have time to play... For exemple there is the Witcher 3. I have 900 hours in it of course dosnt playing it constantly but I can make Time for it... If you dont Gaming is not for you
Also if I have to pay for a game than az least give me content... The New COD is way too expensive for what? 3 hours of story and a ok multiplayer? Thanks no. And also the side stuff is always optional you dont have to do it
To each their own. I absolutely adorerd AC:Origins and Odessey and spent countless hours each (ca. 40+h and 80+h between the two) but wouldnt play shadow of the colossus even if given for free.
(Genuine comment) the reason I love terraria isn't the thousands of hours I have sunk into it, but that when I spend hours upon hours playing it, I accomplished something. Maybe I learnt a new method or slayed a boss on the first try, no hours on the game feel empty. In a 2d plane with tens of thousands items it does get boring but I will come back 2 months later and play the best game ever. (Play terraria)
This is an interesting discussion and one very relevant to today's game space. But I think a quality game will get multiple hours no matter the cost. A good gameplay loops more integral than vast amounts of content. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the big AAA open worlds but they do often tend to be lacking in gameplay. My favourite game with the most time invested is monster hunter world, I've put around 1700 hours into that game across two platforms because I like the mechanics, I like the grind, and I like the variety.
@@scottjones2885 well said 🫡🫡 I don't think all great games call for a lot of time. You're gonna have ones that you think are phenomenal that you only playthrough once or twice. But generally speaking, if the game is that great to you, you're gonna want to play it repeatedly regardless of how long it is
I have met a lot of people in the zelda community for example where this has been the case. I grew up on old zelda. I like the linear story that makes you walk through all parts of the game. Side content is still there too. But a lot of newer players prefer botw and totk. This is understandable since those games are really well made. I love those games too but I feel like its missing some of the elements of the older games which made me feel like I was playing a zelda game instead of another assassins creed clone. And I think part of that is because of the non-linear gameplay. Some of the younger people Ive met (and im not that old, in my 20s) wont touch an old zelda game, even as someone who loves the switch ones, because they wont play the linear game. For some reason it seems like linear = bad, on top of short = bad to a lot of the next gen of gamers. Could be just the people Ive met too. But still. Also refusing to give older games a try because of graphics. I have a friend who played elden ring as his first souls game. He wanted to play ds3 after at my place before he bought it for himself and just kept going on about how awful the graphics are, and how could anyone ever play it....... and I dont think they look bad by todays standard at all still so IDK what hes on about lmao I have a question for anyone who reads this. The people who wouldnt play the non switch zelda games and the souls games all call themselves zelda players and souls players, with the zelda players only having played the switch ones, and the souls player only playing er. Whats your opinion on someone saying they are a "game title here" player when they only play one game in a franchise, but refuse to play any others? IDK I dont want to seem gatekeepy but it seems weird to me for example someone calling themself a souls player, and referring to the entire genre instead of the one specific game they played, when they have no intention to play any other games in the franchise or genre. Like when I hear someone say "im a souls player", I want to talk about their experiences in the franchise, and I like getting new people into it too, which is why I was excited for my friend to try ds3 with me so he could get it after liking ER. But if I hear someone say "im a souls player" but then say they have no intention of playing ds1,2,3,bb,sekiro, or a soulslike because they dont look as nice as the newest one (in this case elden ring) im kinda just like...... huh. Not just for souls but its just the example im going with
I have not met those types of people personally but have seen exactly what you're talking about. It doesn't make me mad necessarily when people like one and then call themselves blank player but hate on the older ones for whatever reason but sad because they can not truly understand the masterpieces that are these games. It puts me off they can say they are a fan of the series, then hate on it. Instead of looking at them differently, not every game is your perfect imagination. (ingoring the graphics part of this cuz that's just dumb to dislike a game completely for personally)
I'm old school. I gravitate to linear single player games. It allows me to experience great game and a well placed tailor made story within a reasonable amount of time so by the time is done, I'm already craving my next adventure. I recently bested Sekiro in 15 hours and had a great time. It did not overstay its welcome now I'm moving on to FFVIII for who knows how many times. Gaming to me is a hobby, not a part time job. 'Forever' games expect an unreasonable level of commitment and time investment and that investment will be null when the developer decides to turn the game off. That is a waste of time.
well said brother. talking about some of the stuff you said in my next video. the forever games are fun if you have the time. but those shorter single player stories will always be superior to me
That's why I think Super Mario Wonder did so well. There was no bloated content putting it at only ~10 hours of gameplay. With that being said, I think that the appeal of having 80+ hour games went away when games became more easily accessible. When I was a kid, 80+ hours of content sounded great because I could only get like 1 game a year. But nowadays, that just sounds like a terrible time sink. It also feels like some games have long repetitive gameplay and monotonous grinding just for the sake of it like AC Valhalla. However, games that do have 80+ hours of content aren't always bad like BOTW or Red Dead Redemption 2 where I feel like the side content really make the game better.
The story of No Man's Sky is a lot more complicated - pressure from the publisher (Sony, naturally) seems to be the number one problem with the initial release (and that's not a one-time issue, mind you) but you gotta hand it to the devs, at least they put in the hours to release updates - big ones, from what I hear.
yeah i think its a good thing that they did their best to fulfill their promises and improve their game. but im never a fan of games getting put out in a state that is not intended to be the finished product. devs are not forced to take pride in release day like they used to, because theres a fallback plan, being updates
Yeah, there is, indies, and old games haven't gone anywhere. And hell, now that you've pointed it out, 2004-2006 were honestly the best years for gaming, all the games i love so much and other legendary classics came out then, be it Gta SA, Tekken 5, Scarface, Warcraft 3 and other big hitters. Kinda sad knowing i won't live long enough to see something like that happen again, assuming something like that can even happen again. My random tangents aside, great video man, people that say that there's no games really need to expand their horizons so to speak, there's plenty of good stuff out there.
I'm pretty sure you've already said this in the video but I think people are upset with modern games is due to some well-known video games companies went from passion to greed. Take Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Halo for example, They were the titans of FPS shooters back in the day, and now it's not even close. And some people (like me) don't want to let the franchise go with how much great memories they had with the franchise and just hope if the game will get any better (I was on the same boat). But I have to ask myself and say, "Well, if this is direction the company wants to take their franchise in, why hope it gets better, and instead find something else to play". Cause I'm sure there's other games that might interest me, right? And that's what I did. I got into fighting games genre, picked up Street Fighter 6, and man I am having a blast playing the game! As you mentioned in the video, there are great games out there, you just gotta broaden your horizons.
@@dqRoman You keep rolling out the quality of content you have here, and maintain a good moral character, and your crown will never fall from your head. 👑
Good games keep comin, it's just that folks really like to only think about the bads ones and gaslight themselves thinkin the old times didn't also had some STINKERS
So many good games coming out all the time but my criteria for choosing is different from when I was younger - I have way less time so I'm less likely to pick up a huge open world and will veer towards steam deck friendly titles
It means you have a very fake deep voice, doing shitty 'talk about recent drama to make money' while a shit game is being played in the background, and still being a complete no name. Take it from another no name, give up youtube.
What Does The Dr. Disrespect Situation Mean? it means his public career is over, and for good reason. he can, of course, grow to be a better person, but never ever should he be allowed to have the spotlight. it is absolutely fucked up that all this took place in 2017, with the downfall-fallout happening just now.
