Join me as I explore Gielinor again after a brief 15 year hiatus. Or at least like 3-4 regions of it.
Thanks to Jagex for sponsoring this video, it was super cool to work with a game dev on such a renowned game.

@projectmagnesium8804 3 года назад

As a child, this game taught me hundreds of real-life concepts that would later be elaborated on in my day to day. How an economy works, why things hold value to others, the science of metal alloys, (once GE was introduced) how to buy low and sell high, the connection between a low combat lvl pure being similar to some phenom IRL that you underestimate but who will kick your ass at a certain thing, how to accept loss, various tree types (that actually came in handy more than you may think), various medieval armor and weapon varieties (useful trivia at times), how to sense danger, how to explore, and many more. It is not very glamorous looking. Its not the game you play intensely. But of all the childhood games I played, a few actually taught me life skills, and increased my critical thinking and use of strategy- Runescape, Pokemon, Chess, and Starcraft top the list.

One Thing Games thought me is to literally never stop learning new skills. Because new skills allow you to craft garbage to something of value. Like you can make a bird house from wooden scraps or built a lamp with wire and some broken LED bulbs etc. It's waste you'd throw away usually. But with the Accord ming skills you can make something new out of it

Forreals. The game has much wholesome in it.

@Ventorath Год назад

@@Puppy_Puppington Yeah. I think it's probably just because the majority of the game is designed as a long-term grind for personal goals rather than having an "endgame" that everyone is participating in that somehow makes you "bad" if you're not excelling at it. People see others at the start of their personal journey and want to help rather than just seeing them as someone who hasn't caught up yet (as one would be treated in something like WoW). It's to the point that honestly folks are too willing to help out with items and gold. It doesn't take a lot of gold to completely invalidate a lot of early to mid game content. Someone tossing a noob even 100 or 200k means they don't have to worry about affording gear upgrades through... the entirety of F2P Runescape. It's literal pocket change to higher level experienced players, but it skips the need for money management entirely, and that's happening to a player who thinks 1k is a lot of gold and has no idea how to make more consistently. It also makes non-combat skilling feel a lot more pointless. Things like Mining can be decent income to a new player, but when they're gifted more money than they know what to do with, suddenly the incentive to level skills like that beyond what they need for a quest just kind of dies. And most early quests don't have significant requirements so that won't really come up as an issue immediately anyway.

Thank you for actually taking some proper time to learn about the game and actually doing some further investigation.

Firstly to everyone who has thought about this game the osrs community is one of the BEST communities in gaming history if you can filter out a largely toxic minority ..theres alot of scammers,toxicity but as a whole its an awesome, welcoming and non-exclusive community...join the osrs subreddit if you plan on playing, its super active, filled with hardcore veterans who have been playing since the early 2000s and the best players in the game are on there...theres a whole lot of memeing,trolling and some toxicity but as a whole its one of the best subreddit communities and the games developers are active on it and take part in the memeing and respond to posts pretty regularly there and on twitter. Secondly. This review is objectively accurate and well thought out.. you deserve all the thumbs up and subs. Runescape is quirky and it has this weird snowbally meta where the REAL meta doesn't start til hundreds of hours in and once you reach that point the game gets alot better until you start grinding out the real endgame tasks like diaries,pets etc and then...well.....it's ..something... *cries in 1000 kc dry...* *cries in 70 runecrafting and no desire to grind it*

really cool to see your thoughts on this, as a long time RS and OSRS player. I knew what i was getting into when I got back into it and I went through all the quests with a guide and teleport tablets (lets you skip having the magic level and runes for a teleport). I can see where Jagex mentioned some things too and you begrudgingly mention them (rune pouch). i "oh no'd" when you went over to the Brimhaven dungeon for level 1 agility, and it was fun to watch you take the noob ritual of dying on White Wolf Mountain. We've all done it, but most of the players did it when they were 12 and it's a fond memory. Now it would be pretty aggravating I agree.Defense not reducing damage lets monsters "stack" (refers to the hitsplats) you out really easily. It was really cool that you actually got pretty far into the early game. I think you should've mentioned the skillcapes though. Being able to wear one of them really is a dopamine rush when you finally achieve that 13M experience. great video, you got yourself a new sub. I'd be happy to help too if you do continue to play.

I think it was a much better game back when we were all stuck in high school with nothing better to do. The fact that a potato could play it and without even a USB drive needed to install game files made the game very appealing just for that alone. And it had some unique mechanics to it. Nowadays though, grindy MMOs are a dime apiece. I guess my main question is, if I did want to play a grindy MMO, what sets this game apart from all the other grinds?
