ODST is legit good tho. I know tons of other people who like that one beause of single player, fire fight, or the music. They just agree it was over priced.
Okay, to be fair though the ME3 one is actually acceptable, because Control makes no thematic sense what with the whole Cerberus thing, and Synthesis is fucking nonsensical garbage that makes the other two options look reasonable in comparison.
He DOES seem to spoil himself on most things just b/c there's that Existential dread he has that he might not be OCD-MinMaxxing his Time and OpportunityCosts right ... He was projecting pretty HARD throughout most of them infact -- W H I LE T O U C H I N G H I S F A C E reflexively
"Despite how absurdly dug-in I can be about things, people have changed my mind about things." Fast forward a day or so and Pat's writing his incredible epiphany of "I just realized not every customer might be out for retail worker blood like me" on the subreddit.
@@iller3 Yes well...this is IGN. If anyone bases their opinion on a group of game journos that can barely play games i think we know whos word not to take lol.
Honestly, I've never wanted to play an RPG as someone of a different gender or sexual orientation. Because I want to play the game as *myself*, not someone else. The setting is enough fantasy for me. To be clear, I've never passed on a game because the main character is different from me. Sadly, most of those games either don't interest me, aren't very good or I don't have the right gaming system.
I also tend to prefer male characters if given the choice but I really don't mind female characters at all, especially if the class/character I like is exclusively female, like in Warframe. In Diablo 3 I have both genders of each class but I consider my Female Wizard to be my "Main" Wizard
You've misunderstood - this guy "watches" dubs instead of subs because he likes to just put the show on and passively listen while doing other things (i.e. multitasking).
I mean... You can have shows on in the background. I've done it. But I generally prefer actually consuming and engaging with my media outside certain yt stuff
I mean, it did have a really cool flying segment just before that, and the whole final mission was pretty dang sweet. I'd rather have had a QTE than a jank boss battle like Halo 2's. But nothing beats a good old Warthog Run. Still tho, Halo 4's campaign wasn't bad at all. If he'd said Halo 5, THEN I would have fucking gone insane.
@@14megasxlr Halo 4 campaign isn't "bad"...it just wasn't great like every other halo up to that point. And yeah, Halo 5 was a dumpster fire i refuse to acknowledge exists.
@@Dragonfang1909 I mean, Halo 4's campaign was arguable better than Halo 1's and as good as 3's and 2's. 2's was unfinished and almost none of the chief missions were as interesting or fun as the Arby missions. 3's has some actually bad mission in it. And 1's was back tracking through half of it. They were all good, but none of them were "great", at least not so far beyond 4's. 4 had plenty of good missions and some really great set pieces. The only Halo Campaign that was "great" in my opinion was ODST.
@@14megasxlr Well I guess we're at an impasse then because Halo 1 is my favorite in the franchise lol. Yeah, the story isn't the best but it is still hella enjoyable to play even after the close to a hundred times i've played it though. Not going to argue about the backtracking though, 100% an issue. While not an excuse, it does let new players progress though the areas since they already know the layout. Halo 2's story was good but, playing on heroic even, the difficulty is absolutely ridiculous. The few boss fights in the game too are just pointless. I do agree Arby mission were better but that wasn't my main issue. Halo 3's missions, personally were a blast. A lot of cool big fights and huge maps. The only mission that was iffy that i can think of was maybe Cortana? Though in terms of difficulty, i felt more like an invincible terminator than a spartan. Halo 4 on the other hand didn't stick with me after i completed it...at all. Even after replaying it twice and once on legendary. It just felt bland, and the knights just felt like a chore to get though. The only thing i remeber about the game is gears of war like elephant segment and, the admittedly awesome, ending gauntlet. No argument about ODST, game was amazing. I guess in the end we value different things in the gameplay. And you know what? That's pretty cool to see. Didn't expect this to turn into a mini-essay though LOL
@@Dragonfang1909 Don't get me wrong tho. Halo is one of my favorite video game franchises of all time. Easily in my top 5. I love all those games to death. I have so many good memories of trying to do LASO run of all the games in the MCC so I could get the Helioskrill armor in Halo 5(1 of about 10 actually decent armor sets in Halo 5, don't even get me fucking started on how Halo 5 ruined customization). I remember never being able to buy Halo 1 when I was back in high school, and all I could get was the demo which ONLY had the Silent Carographer, and I played the EVER LOVING SHIT out of that mission, lemme tell you. I remember Halo ODST was the first Halo game I ever was able to get on my 360 for my birthday was a kid, and man I loved ever second of it. I remember the insane forge maps on Halo Reach. I remember the first time I went invisible as the Arbiter in Halo 2 and it blew my goddamn mind. Being critical, I can't say they were all "great" stories or campaigns, but goddamn they are treasures all the same.
@Luiz Hernandes Go watch Woolie and Liam's Nier Automata playthrough then, it's on Woolie's channel. The whole thing gave me serious older SBFP vibes when Liam was still with the channel.
I'm one of those people that say that Bioshock 2 is the best in the franchise. 1 has better atmosphere of course, but 2 actually gave your main character a good reason to be there and left the player with some semblance of an emotional connection to things outside of a sweet final scene if you spared all the Little Sisters. Also, Delta is a lot more fun to play as than Jack
Isn't this Woolie's opinion on create a character games? I'm Latino and don't get bothered by playing characters that are white, black or female. If the characters are good and so is the game then I can enjoy it fine.
@@Spiderdude93 Lately Woolie has been making mostly female characters in his games like Pockets in Star Wars Kotor and his Monster Hunter World character
@@MattManDX1 I remember that in one of the podcasts of this year he goes off on white people with their white characters and how he wants more variety, which is an actual fair point. The part that I didn't like is when he made it seem like if you're white and have the problem of wanting to have characters look like you was somehow wrong when in the same discussion he goes on to bitch about the same feeling applying to him. I remember it not going into painting these white people as racists but there was a very apparent feeling of disdain towards them. My favorite super hero is Peter Parker, a white guy and very sympathetic character to many people around the world, not just white, male, straight Americans like Peter. I see the issue of not connecting to a character that's different from you in race or sex very dumb because then you must live a very boring life in not attempting to enjoy different media based on the looks of a character. "Ew, I won't play Bayonetta because she's a woman, I'm not that!" It's childish and this opinion of mine applies to everyone, not just white, black, etc.
Destroy option is the best choice in Mass Effect 3. Shepard's goal from day one was to stop the Reapers no matter what. Plus it is the only option in which Shepard lives.
I can sympathize with the "multi-task while watching anything" thing because I have really bad ADHD and it makes it super hard to just chill out and let myself enjoy something that's visual-only. it sucks really bad!
Even as someone who likes Halo 4 for what it is even I'm like "wait really, you think that one's the best?" For me it's a very close toss up between Halo 3 and Reach for my personal favorite in the series.
Destroy is the best ending because you're making good on what you've been trying to do the entire trilogy. Control is stupid and synthesis turn Shepard into a husk = indoctrination bad end
1:59 I agree with that sentiment. I'll always stop and watch it when something interesting is happening but I also just prefer dubs overall, even if I'm sitting down and watching it.
I do multitask when rewatching shows, and yes, when it comes to rewatching anime I get preferring dubs for this reason. But I just don't get not paying full attention when first watching something.
I have no idea! That show is excellent! The only time the writing was less than spectacular was in season 9. The rest has been amazing and everything season 11 and onwards has been on the level of season 5. Comparing a great show like SPN to the trash of arrow and flash really pisses me off.
I mean, it's not like they're bashing it super hard either, the only thing that was said about it was that it was not great. and i imagine the guys just didn't really have enough experience with it to really say anything either way.
So... the dude is pretty wrong on most things, but. Bioshock 2 is pretty awesome and although I enjoyed bioshock 1's story, I had more fun in 2. Also, supernatural had some amazing seasons.
I changed crimsonscarf's mind on RPG snes games with Final Fantasy 3 and / or 6. That's was it though, i never could change anybody else's minds since then.
Exactly. My only problem with 2 is that you have to spare Stanley and Gilbert in order to get the good ending, even though one is a mass murderer and the other wanted to die before he went mad, and the horror aspect feels toned down.
I would be furious at this guy too, but I’m one of those filthy multi-taskers who does multiple things sub optimally because it’s using time efficiently.
Destroy ending is the only one everyone involved signed up for, the other two are gross power trips of ego and the most extreme invasions of individuality possible as well as making you actively complicit in literally countless genocides.
Exactly... Green ending you're basically agreeing with Saren, Blue ending, you're justifying everything Martin Sheen did, the red ending was blessed by Anderson, he ordered that.... lul
Im still SUPER DUGGED-IN on the indoctrination of shepard theory and i concluded that the other options are literally the reapers seducing you into thinking like the villains before. Therefore destroy ending is the best ending, also it's the only ending where we see shepard coming back to life
@@SnipahBarret50Cal that N7 soldier back on earth on his last breath was never Shep, i've always looked at that scene, as BW not knowing what to do, and instead of ending on a depressed note, they added that as a "reward", that soldier is not Shep
Meh, that last one I kinda get, because I have difficulty connecting with people, let alone animated characters. I mean, I can do it, but it takes quite a bit more effort and a fairly engaging story to get me through the first couple of hours of slog where I try to put myself in the shoes of this strange being that I'm controlling the actions of, before I manage to get the feel of the person it's trying to convey and manage to immerse myself fully. That's why when I'm given the option of generating my own character, I usually pick the option that looks the most like me to make the process easier. Granted, once I get myself into their shoes, HOO BOY, I get myself well in there. Sometimes I even start to think like I believe they would think before I start to come back to myself after turning it off. Sometimes that can take a good hour or two.
I was terrified this was gonna be about me. Fucking thank god it's not. That being said, saying Bioshock 2 is the best in the franchise, I won't contest that, solely on Minerva's Den Alone.
additional thoughts: + I also do the "look up the ending so I'm not anxious" thing, tho I keep it to myself-- I watched Sharp Objects with my mom & had to look up the ending because I needed to know how bad it was gonna get, I gave zero hints I knew anything for like six weeks + Woolie's hair is cute!
I just had a conversation to a friend of mine saying even though Fallout 76 has (paraphrasing) “even though it has some issues it’s still a good and fun game”. I’ve tried talking to him explaining some flaws, but he thinks my opinions are biased because I haven’t spent the $35 it’s at right now , sunk 4+ hours into it, then tell him that the game is bad.
You don't need to play a game to know it's bad. If you've played enough games it's pretty obvious what games are good if you watch 5 minutes of something
Just saying that the destroy ending is the most moral option in mass effect 3. The fact that Shepard survives proves that all synthetic life isn't wiped out. The other options are bait to make you think they're more moral
606hunter1 Doesn’t he die on that station because no one ends up picking him up and we see him die a slow death and then get turned into a synthetic and becomes the last will of the Reapers or something? Can’t say I actually went into depth with the endings to Mass Effect 3 since never actually picked up the game and only seen video essays and playthroughs. And wasn’t that scene at the end made by the devs as an apology or something to how shit the endings were? Yeah they said it was what was cut but it also seems like it ends up going against what is shown to in the endings.
Yea we the audience are left with a clip of Shepard taking a breath, we don't if he truly survived or if that was his last breath before death. Also everyone is light-years away while he's stuck under some rubble in the citadel, until one of the creators confirm that he's truly alive and well I'll assume he bled out.
RavenCloak13 the scene of the quick breath was there in the original. The fact that Shepard survives a 50,000 foot fall shows that "destroying" all synthetic life was a lie. It could just be bad writing but with how the ending is shown afterwards, the reapers lied about it destroying anything synthetic
Andre Carter the breath that Shepard takes at the end of the game is not consistent with a dying breath. The 50,000 ft fall should of killed them anyways so it's just bad writing unless they are actually straight up saying Shepard is alive. Regardless, the ending is still trash
606hunter1 Considering he was inside a massive super structure with bullshit technology that does even begin to matter if he fell that far. And if it didn’t destroy all synthetic life then why don’t we see any of the geth at the end or EDE?
I played a lot of halo 4, I was only 8 lvls away from max when I stopped, and i am not proud of that. I pretty much never played it with my friends who had it, they just never played it. I don't know why I did, I just remember liking the progression system and the game being fairly enjoyable. That being said this man is crazy calling halo 4 the best when Reach blows that shit out of the water, and I got nowhere near max lvl in Reach but that shit is the reason I even gave 4 the time of day.
Nowadays some Eng dubs are on par with or better than the Jp dubs, BUT YOU SHOULD AT LEAST WATCH THE SCREEN! ARE YOU LIKE, NOT WATCHING ANY ACTION SERIES? WTH?
Next thing we hear is that dude liked magus bride but had no idea what happened besides hearing what happened and the fact that he already knew the ending.
Destroy ending is the only one that makes sense. Refusal is spitting on everyone's sacrifices so that someone else with the balls to destroy the Reapers does so anyway. Control is changing one tyrant for another. Synthesis is bullshit magic that rewrites the biology of the entire galaxy, even those that weren't even aware of the Reapers.
i play as bald white men almost exclusively if i'm given the choice. I can relate to other characters just fine, this is just my favorite archetype. A fun go-to character who's shoes i can step into.
Wait... choosing the Destroy ending in ME3 is a "Wrong"? Bitch we played 3 games with the express propose of destroying those Mecha-Cthulhu motherfuckers.
