phones and tabs barely have any good games, also has problems with compatibility with old games. and s8 ultra has the worst qualcomm processor in recent years, 8 gen 1 is horrible because it was made in samsung fab who know nothing other killing workers in chemicals. newer 8 gen 2 and 8 gen 3 are so much better, so for tablet oneplus pad 2 is the best, gpu is the most powerful in a tab and dominates in emulation. i have used a phone with 8 gen 2 and it runs 90 and 120hz all the time, remains bone cold. i would say its just better to buy a rog ally or rog ally x/ legion go instead of tablets because of their PC nature give access to every game and performs AAA titles very good.
I see where you're coming from, but I've had a different experience. I've tried the Steam Deck and ROG Ally, and honestly, I found them a bit clunky. When I just want to game quickly, all that PC setup can be a hassle. Sometimes you just want to hit play and go, you know? Different strokes for different folks, I guess. The pick-up-and-play simplicity of phones and tablets can be a real advantage when you're short on time.
What the hell does chemical exposure have to do with how the chip is made. You think that was the case for that no chips would be made period. Almost everything you said sounds so convoluted it was like 10 years throwing a temper tantrum.You have nothing to support your claims but your opinion. Next time stay on topic and fake check things before you type them out online.
@@KILLJOY375 you really have no idea do you??, exposing workers to chemicals means that the quality is not maintained in fabs, and its very clear how much worse samsung is compared to tsmc, just search 8 gen 1 vs 8+gen 1, both are same chips but the difference is that one is made by samsung other by TSMC. just search about how samsung didn't compensate their worker, and marked them and bullied their families, you should definitely learn about chebols and how they can get away after commiting crimes, samsung literally rules south korea, they don't need any defense from you
Cool! I’ve got a 4070ti on my desktop, but when I'm away from it (like, you know, at school), the Tab S8 Ultra steps up. It’s not about replacing a PC, but expanding where and how we game. Sometimes convenience and portability are just as powerful as raw specs!
I thought we would never get better than the age of Infinity Blade. So glad I was wrong. I don't play a lot of mobile games, but there are some that play extremely well.
For sure! I just found out that Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm just got ported over to mobile today, and that's insane to me! If they can put that game on a mobile device, imagine what else they can port over? Definitely an exciting time! 😁 Thanks for leaving a comment, friend 😊 Means a lot to me!
Haha, I feel you! As a substitute teacher, I get a taste of this all the time. Gen Alpha kids are shocked when I use Gen Z slang or talk about video games that I grew up with and played as a kid/teen-they think I have no clue! 😅 So don’t worry, you’re not alone in the generational surprise club! 😂 They think I’m old when I mention growing up with the PS2 lol
Very cool to hear that the technology is advancing as much as it is; I'd thought tablets were kinda dying out, and only old ladies llike myself were still using them. I don't know how much I could get into mobile gaming, mostly because I have a lot core temperature and strong EM field, which means that touchscreens DO NOT like me, and while that's fine for what I use my tablet for (mostly music, alarms, and getting into the VPN for work), I wouldn't be able to play anything that requires quick, consistent input. I could use a controller, I suppose, but since I work from home, I don't really need a portable gaming device most of the time.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's really cool how tablets can adapt to different needs, even if mobile gaming might not be the best fit for everyone. That electromagnetic field situation sounds intense! 😅 Sorry you have to go through that, friend. For me, it's the convenience of playing on the go when I can't be at my desktop. But totally get where you're coming from-if you mostly work from home, portability might not be as big of a deal. If you ever decide to dive into mobile gaming with a controller, it might surprise you how seamless it can feel! 😊 Thanks for leaving a comment, it really means a lot to me!
I will gladly die on the hill of Google Stadia :P In spite of its business-minded failures and the fact that the technology took too long to get good, that last year or so of Stadia service was legitimately incredible! A library of console-tier games on any device that has access to a web browser and hardware acceleration is massive; it was every bit as good technologically as GeForce Now is! Pairing it (Stadia or GeForce) with a device such as yours that can emulate competently and play the library of mobile games gives anyone a device that can play the large majority of games that have been released. All of this ties the bow on the idea of being able to play your games anywhere. It's rapidly transcending the idea of portable gaming in general, really. Is there any point in differentiating between a phone, a tablet, a gaming PC and a console if I can play Cyberpunk 2077, Cut the Rope, emulate Breath of the Wild, Halo, Commander Keen and then cascade my tab to check my email on a phone that can use its USB-C to output over HDMI to a screen? We're on the crux of entering a world where the "all-in-one" device is a true reality, and I think gaming is the industry that's going to push it over the finish line. Great video! :D
@TAttila84 , Idk, I absolutely dominate at CoD mobile with touch controls. Anyways, she may not have mentioned it, but more than half of her footage was taken not use touch controls, but using an actual controller. So I would say that a good solution.
My first RPG was Ultima 3 on the C64. While outside, I remember seeing enemies and either avoiding them or going towards them based on if I wanted to fight them or not. The dungeons, however, were random encounters. When I first played Dragon Quest on the NES (which was called Dragon Warrior at the time), I was both surprised and frustrated that random encounters happened outside as well as underground. I never was a fan of random encounters.
I like this idea that a cavewoman named Dutchess is running around to help the community; a name taking after the concept of nobility which postdates this entire game by many, many years 😂 The farm sim isn't exactly my top 3 sort of game genre I play, but I've definitely played enough of others in the genre to appreciate the ways Pacha is trying to be different! I do really like the artstyle too, it feels much more striking to me; I get this nostalgic feel from the pixelart, as if it's one of those browser MMOs from the early 2000's which is such a specific note to hit. I also enjoy how much more open it seems the maps are! I know Stardew is the darling of the genre these days, but for some reason there are few other games that make me feel more claustrophobic than when I'm playing it. Roots of Pacha not only feels more open, but the setting lends itself to these organic, underedeveloped areas. Really refreshing! Another preference of mine is that I enjoy the concept of utilizing my man-hours in the game to tend to my crops myself! I don't think I saw anything resembling a sprinkler or a way to auto-tend to the fields, so am I right in assuming there's no automation? if so, this is yet another aspect I appreciate being different these days. Great review!
Pfft! Please! 😂 That's where the name and concept came from! I was such a help to the prehistoric community that they named a whole royal position after me. 🤣 The farming sim genre has definitely gotten oversaturated in recent years. Even though I really enjoy playing them (and would never turn down an opportunity to review one), it's a genre that I have been spending a little less time on lately. But Roots of Pacha definitely innovates in areas that need it! I agree wholeheartedly about the in-game map feeling more open. I can definitely confirm that it's a lot more freeing and less restraining than Stardew's map is. As for the sprinkler question, there is an ability to unlock one as you progress further through the game! It's not quite a modern day sprinkling system, though. It's done through irrigation, I believe. When it comes to sprinklers, I always forget to build them in literally any farming sim I play 😂 In my second Stardew Valley playthrough with my best friend, I didn't even upgrade my watering can until year 2, and spent all that time watering my own crops LOL
Very cool! I wonder if this short was recommended to me because I played the fan remake of Zelda 2 not long ago... so I heard that music quite a bit. LOL
It's funny. These farming-type games are kinda hit-or-miss for me. I know Stardew Valley is extremely popular, but when I tried it I just couldn't get into it. But then again, I used to play Core Keeper quite a bit and I had some big farms in that one. The prehistoric theme is kinda interesting and sets this one apart. :)
I feel like the more I play cozy games, the harder it is to get into then since Stardew Valley set the bar so high 😂 But nah, I totally get where you're coming from. Cozy games and Stardew are really slow experiences, and definitely not meant for everyone. That's why Roots intrigued me a lot... it moves relatively fast, so it might hold some appeal for a different set of gamers 😊
I'm so sorry! I should've specified which consoles the game was on. That was entirely my fault, my bad! But to answer your question, it was ported to the Switch somewhat recently, I believe 😊
Great review! I've never played any of the games in this series and was wondering if this is any good. Looks strange, but interesting. That little moon guy looks like Mac Tonight in those old McDonald's commercials. 😂
It definitely is worth a try if you’re into RPG titles! :) It’s a super smooth experience, and flows really well from one area to the next. Oh my gosh, I looked up Mac Tonight and now I can’t unsee it! 😂🤣 I never saw those commercials growing up, what a great catch! Maybe that’s where they got it from lol
@@Dutchess5 That would be funny if they just watched an old McDonald's commercial and said, "We'll use that!" LOL As for RPGs, I've been thinking of giving Visions of Mana a try since I've always been a fan of the series... but Shin Megami Tensei might be nice for something different... since I'm new to the series.
i like the gba rerelease of mario 3 with the bonus levels through the e-reader cards. there was a patch, done as a romhack, for the gba version of mario 3 that unlocked all the bonus levels in the e-reader world.
I think a modern game with all its extra memory and so forth could implement some sort of awareness stat into your character(s). The more aware your character is, the easier it is for you (the player) to see the encounters on the overworld screen. As you start, even level 1 villains are completely invisible and all encounters are random. As you level up, they first show up as tiny pixels you can barely see, then as a you gain more levels, they eventually become completely visible. It would, of course, scale. For example, at level 10, you can see all the level 1 villains easily. However, level 5 are transparent and level 9 are just pixels and level 15 are completely invisible still. Of course, some villains would have greater invisibility than their level. For example, you'd have to be level 15 or 20 to even see a level 2 or 3 ghost.
I was in the sixth grade when Mario 3 was announced. I even saw "The Wizard" (starring Fred Savage) in theaters. (Most people only saw it to get a glimpse of Mario 3.) While other games have been equal or even greater over the years when compared directly to it, there is a reason it is considered a classic as there was nothing even worthy of comparison at the time. Also, for anybody who is a fan of Mario 3 but wants more, I'd recommend checking out the rom hack "Super Mario 3mix". It is a great throwback to this absolute classic, but with elements from later games thrown in as well. EDIT: Also, this commercial really captured the spirit of every grade school playground at the time.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HU80R7jGanE.html
Yeah T_T While I love customizing my island and I do love that the villagers won't move out without warning, the game itself is so shallow under its pretty face. The dialogue is so limited, which is a HUGE part of why the characters feel so soulless and flat. There are so few types of interactions you can have with your villagers, and many of them I actively avoid because they can be detrimental to your island, if you care about things like what your villagers' houses look like or what clothes they wear. I don't deliver gifts anymore because Chief got a bathrobe once and he NEVER TAKES IT OFF. I've gifted him clothes I like on him several times and he's still ALWAYS wearing that bathrobe, and to me it's just a huge flag walking around saying "remember how frustrating this game is?" I also hate to talk to villagers when they're "thinking" now because I don't want to have to quickly quit without saving if they say they want to move and can't be dissuaded the first time. So that's another one of the few interactions that I hate and don't participate in. Plus villagers barge into my house EVERY time I go in it, so I avoid my house too unless I want to risk puttering around for several minutes until my home invader wants to leave. And I liked when villagers came to my house in New Leaf! Because they weren't boring, flat, walking canned line regurgitators, and they didn't do it EVERY time I went into my house! Another thing that makes the island and villagers feel lifeless is that you can't interact with most of the decorations/furniture, and the villagers can only look at things, water things, dance, and sit down. My sister still plays Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and that game is CONSTANTLY getting new outfits and furniture, and the villagers can interact with ALL of them. There are things they can get inside, things they can jump on, fly in, dance on, etc etc so the villagers can DO things and the furniture isn't just useless set dressing. Plus the furniture in ACPC is WAY more interesting; I want to have all the fantasy stuff from that game. And the outfits and hair are so well done and pretty, while I feel like I just settle on my character's hair in ACNH while knowing Nintendo has done better elsewhere. I have so many other complaints about quality of life in ACNH too. Why do I have to enter and exit the dressing room every time I want to buy something if the items don't all fit onto one outfit? I have ADHD, and you expect me to keep track of which ones I already got?? And why not have an indicator that it's already in your catalogue/in storage?? And so many of the limitations with decorating are so inane and frustrating, like unavoidable gaps/things being impossible to line up, being unable to put rugs outside, not being able to hang wall decorations on cliffs or anything outside, and those are just the first things that came to my head immediately. Oh yeah, and why is it so incredibly hard to get DIY recipes without finding people online to trade with??? I got on a few months ago and spent many in-game weeks trying to get the decayed tree recipe and I still don't have it T^T Part of me wonders if they made it so unsatisfying on purpose, because if the game was too well executed, people might not feel the need to buy the next game because they're happy enough with the previous one. That's one of the theories about why the pokemon games keep adding new game features while removing the best ones from game to game: to increase replayability. "If you want to play the game where pokemon follow you around, play this one! If you want to mega evolutions, play this other one!" etc. Sorry about the essay lol but I have so many complaints and was ready to rant
Nice video! I saw this after seeing your SMB3 video, and was curious about your take on this subject. I see we're in agreement! I like your video content. Subscribed. :)
@@Dutchess5 Thanks! That's very kind of you to say! I wasn't expecting a reply, so that made my day as well (and it was a hectic one at work! LOL!) I look forward to your next video! 🙂
I'm impressed with your knowledge of classic games! I'm surprised to see that level of knowledge and interest from someone so young. I love how you also brought up the video game crash here in the USA from the 80's. Nintendo was pivotal in bringing us back from the crash. As for me when I was a kid, I continued playing the video games I had on my ColecoVision and Commodore 64 while others lost interest... but was pleased to see gaming make a comeback with the arrival of the NES and Super Mario Bros.
Thanks so much for the sweet comment! 😊 I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you for it. College has been eating up my time once again 😂 And yeah! I absolutely love the classics. We wouldn't have the games we have today if it weren't for these older titles. That's really cool you still kept up with gaming even during the crash. It shows a real commitment to the hobby even when the industry was at a low! :)
@@Dutchess5 Please don't apologize! I really wasn't expecting a response. Getting a reply was unexpected! I know college can be VERY time consuming... been there, done that. 😂 I think one of the things that's interesting is that during the Atari 2600 era, I believe most of the games I played were made in the USA. For the C64, however, I think some games were made in the USA... but I believe even more were made in the UK. I was a kid at the time and didn't really pay attention (or really care... I just wanted to play games... LOL). I think that was because of the crash here in the USA at the time.
Its so weird because i love new horizons genuinely, however it doesnt compare to new leaf for me. I think its too easy. I want it to have more depths, make one decision that could lead to a different outcome rather than everyones hourney be rhe exact same. Id like to see being able to design shops, and pick and choose what shops come to your island.
I played the original Gamecube version years ago and enjoyed it for a month or so before I got bored. I played New Horizons for maybe 30 minutes before I knew they had ruined it, it seems they stripped out a lot of the social elements to the game and it became mostly about collecting furniture and other things to make your island look nice. The game just didn't appeal to me and felt soulless, which I think is kind of typical of Nintendo these days.
I’ve never played the old animal crossing games so i cant really relate to the part of missing the old characters, buildings, etc but i will agree new horizons does get boring after a while. I’ve had the game since release, played it 24/7, then never picked up the game again. Sure theres the DLC where you can decorate villager vacation homes but other than that it feels like its not really worth picking up the game anymore. It also doesn’t feel relaxing and more of a competition of who can make a pretty island with cute villagers and do it all over again. Maybe its fun for some people but i get overwhelmed or bored thinking of a “perfect island”.
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it, friend 😊 And noted! I definitely have more videos like these in the works, so please be a little patient with me! 😁
Ah, a true connoisseur of the comment section! Who needs context when you can dive straight into discussion? Your bravery in offering an opinion without the burden of information is truly commendable.
I think you made a really great point when you mentioned that time stops when we stop the game. To further expand on that, I think the biggest issue is that the game forgot why we wanted to play it. It's not just being able to customise everything. It's an escape from our lives. Before we just had to chill on the island, free of responsibilities, making friends and just existing. Whether we were there or not, life went on and villagers could just leave. Now in NH, everything is centered around us, we control everything like a puppermaster. That's why the game feels soul-less to me and lost the charm of the series.
The essence of Animal Crossing was always about escaping into a living, breathing world that existed with or without us. New Horizons turned us from participants into puppet masters, and that's exactly where the magic was lost. Your insight really captures why the game feels soulless to many of us older fans. It's like they gave us more control but took away the very thing that made the series special - that sense of a world beyond our influence. Thanks for articulating this so well! 😊
I played new leaf for 4 years straight, even got my town corrupted and had to restart. I pre-ordered horizons, played it for a month and then sold it back to gamestop some time afterwards. I wish I didn't sell it so I could experience the updates I guess.
Hey, it's never too late to get it back pre owned if that's something you're okay with! Even though I didn't like the game, I would definitely suggest trying out the updates to see if it's something that you like. :)
See I grew up watching my sisters play animal crossing on the GameCube and I remember them being DEVASTATED when one their favorite villages would leave them a letter telling them they’d packed up their bags and would never see them again. The dialogue was also VICIOUS but it was just so hilarious, it felt like you were living in THEIR world as opposed to them being nothing more than decorations in yours with New Horizons. I personally played City Folk like there 😢was no tomorrow and I spent countless hours growing up with that game. So much charm (although I know dialogue had started to see it’s changes), the holidays were so exciting and your villagers would talk about it leading up to the actual event which made it feel so much more real, and the special NPC’s randomly popping up felt like a treat rather than what new horizons gives us where half are missing and the ones that are there lack so much personality and just kind of stand there at town hall…. New horizons got me through pandemic but it’s a game I can’t bring myself to go back to. I never played animal crossing for the customizations…as nice as the feature is, I played for their friendships I would form, the excitement each new day brought something different, and the connections I would create to escape the real world. It just felt like there always something new to discover, and New horizons felt like everything was on the table from the get go. No surprises. And not in a good way.
You've hit the nail on the head! 😊 That's exactly what I miss about the older games. The unpredictability, the charm, the feeling that the villagers had lives beyond just being decorations. New Horizons traded that soul for prettier graphics and customization options. It's like they forgot what made Animal Crossing special in the first place. Your experience with City Folk sounds a lot like mine with New Leaf. Thanks for sharing your thoughts - it's comforting to know I'm not alone in feeling this way about the series' evolution
You just complaining all the time… it‘s new horizons not new leaf… get over it!!! It has a lot new stuff!!! What is wrong with you!!! Not thankful at all!
I appreciate your passion, but let's take a deep breath, okay? You're right, it's not New Leaf - that's kind of the point. As for new stuff, sure, we got outdoor furniture. Revolutionary! Look, I get it. You're having fun, and that's great! Being critical doesn't mean I'm not thankful - it means I care enough about the series to want it to be the best it can be. So how about we agree to disagree? You enjoy your island paradise, and I'll be over here, waiting for a worthwhile Animal Crossing game.
It's a review on the game. A review either means someone likes a particular thing or not. She happens to be disappointed with New Horizons...as I am too and many others. I feel like the game is a dead end. I've noticed I can't seem to play longer than maybe 30 minutes a day because there's not much to do other than some basic every day things like picking up seashells, hitting rocks, finding fossils, sell to the Nook Store, and repeat over and over again. Please elaborate on what new stuff there is? If there is a lot of new stuff, maybe I'm just missing it? But as far as your comment goes, getting THIS upset over a short review video is pretty humorous tbh. lol
@@teresakeys I’m confused are people saying this as if new leaf isn’t also boring as hell. I have 40+ hours in both games and in both games I hit a wall where I felt like there was nothing to do. It isn’t fair to NH that people have nostalgia for new leaf. If NH is just new leaf with a slightly different coat of paint than yeah no shit you’re going to be bored with it when you’ve played new leaf to death. Try playing a new new leaf save file for longer than 10 hours and see if it still holds up. It doesn’t and both games have the same problem. Acting like NH is somehow worse just cause it’s new it’s so stupid
I think this video sucks tbh. You don’t really list what made the old games special beyond 1. Time actually seems to pass and 2. The intro music is better.. like uh ok? The way you write the script too it just sounds like a kid throwing a fit rather than a nuanced take
Says the person with 22 followers. 😂 I’d like to see you make a video like this. I’ll be waiting. Constructive criticism is always a good thing. However, you’re just plain rude.
@@teresakeys I don’t write video essays I write history papers. I know how to make an argument and how to support it with evidence that’s why I graduated with a 4.0 in college. I don’t make things for the source of ragebait or entrainment and idc how many followers I have. Thanks though!
@@teresakeys also I feel like I have to say I only commented in a rude way because the video itself is rude. If I worked on this game I’d be personally offended. She said the game sucks like a million times and that’s fine but she herself didn’t give much constructive criticism on how to make the game better so what gives? Can’t take what you dish out?
Hey nice! I'm a 4.0 student too, specializing in literary analysis of 19th and 20th century English and American literature. It's cool you're into history, definitely not something a lot of people want to get into anymore, unfortunately. Let me just say though that RU-vid isn't an academic journal. I've always needed a professor's approval before citing a RU-vid video as a source. This platform is where I share my thoughts and opinions, not write dissertations. If my views resonate with you, great! If not, move on. The fact that you're lingering here suggests a clear bias. You claim I said the game "sucks" a million times (hyperbole much?), and that because the video was rude, your comment had to be rude too. That's a classic example of both the straw man fallacy and tu quoque (or "you too") fallacy. Congrats on the logical gymnastics there! As for offending Nintendo developers with my "rude" video, I highly doubt they're losing sleep over a small-time RU-vidr's opinions when they're too busy swimming in their money pools. 😂 They barely listen to the majority of their fans, let alone me lol. RU-vid is for entertainment and personal discussion, not peer-reviewed critiques. If you're looking for academic rigor, you're in the wrong place. Maybe try the library next time?
