Patrice O'Neal on realism in modern video games "It's not even fun!" 

Thanks for the Patrice video, cheers from Serbia

If you start linking to a second channel that has the same playlist as yours, but Opie still in it, I would give some tips for that. Not cause I like Opie, just to be able to easily compare it after to see how valuable your work really is! I’ll tip at Xmas too

​@@jonnyfrench7366Is that you Opster?

I thought Ron Pearlman said that in Fallout

His expression fits the body language of the character very well.

Games have not progressed Like they did back then

I would love to hear his thoughts about “Dark Souls”

@@eyesforthewise idk man half life alyx was paradigm shifting

@@eyesforthewise that's true only graphics that's all i have a series x n I haven't seen anything that's truly next Gen that drops my jaw

​​​​​​​​@@joeltaveras4553Even graphics... We are kind of hitting a plateau after the 360/PS3 gen. The jump between console generations before that were pretty noticable and drastic, in terms of gameplay depths and graphic fidelity. But the jump from 360/PS3 - XboxOne/PS4 was way less noticable. Even more so with the most recent jump from One/PS4 to PS5/SeriesX/S And the industry as a whole is not doing so good. At least as a consumer. The big gaming companies are making more $$$ then ever.. But we don't get those old AA games anymore.. (by "AA" I mean, "AA" instead of "AAA" big budget games. Remember those"middle a' the road" games like Shellshock, Kane and Lynch, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Soldier of Fortune, Freedom Fighters, Rouge Trooper etc. etc. too many good ones!) Video games are so expensive to develop nowdays, that companies don't take risks. So those kind of games are just gone... People mention indies, but I've never found one that didn't feel like an "indie", if that makes sense.. not hating on em, but I haven't really enjoyed too many indie titles myself. Live service games are not cool either. Basically in a few years, games like "The Division" will be unplayable, because you won't be able to connect to the servers once the Devs decide to shut them down. Microtransactions are one thing.. but some games communities literally feed off and seemingly like being feed new skins (for real money!) and new skins only.. Not a big expansion pack, ala TBoGT. Or Undead Nightmare. Hell, even map packs like all the old Call of Duty and Halo games used to release were a far better sell.. A small 10.00$ - 25.00$ fee and you got some new maps and a gun here or there. It seemed a fair trade.. But for the newer modern games. Nope. Just skins. Don't get me wrong. I like skins, nothing wrong with them. But as the only new content releasing?.. I could on and on.. (as you can clearly see haha, sorry for that.) and theres so many damn reasons my beloved Vidya games are becoming soulless, heartless and utterly uninspired. But I'll save you the further ranting and raving on the subject. If you read this. Thanks for taking the time to. Didn't mean for it to be this long. Was bored. lol.

"war is crazy shit" -Alexander The Great Joke still holds up I think they're talking about cod 4 the first one on 360 that's online.

​@@jace2802Call of Duty 2 Even older. It was actually the very first COD released for the 360/PS3 generation. 2006.

Have you tried the Titanfall 2 single player campaign? One of the best ever made.

Tom Clancy ghost recon future soldier just went on sale on steam. Great single player.

The DDay scene Ant was talking about is from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, which came out in 2002, back when my balls had barely just dropped. Nearly 20 years later, it's still the single best video game level I've ever played. It was basically Private Ryan Simulator now that I think of it.

@@toomuchmidi Nope. When I hear this I think of games like System Shock 2 and Wolfenstein or Blood

Amen. My dad is an old school southerner but was always impressed by the arts. He thought graphics in video games were as good as anyone can make it. Meaning the polygons and textures of DK64 he thought were cool. Hated most of them and I don’t blame him. “Man I don’t mind tellin ya this is some AWFUL bullshit my dad right before he fell asleep during the first Pokémon movie. But COD seeing the intros and knowing the set pieces, the players, the conflicts etc, said “this might be one of the coolest things ever”! It’s always great as a kid when your dad is interested in something new that you like. I thought he was gonna shit his pants when Modern Warfare, Bioshock (which he liked after he realized that rapture wasn’t a commune), Red Dead Redemption.

To be fair, i don’t even think patrice was a celebrity at this time lol

Patrice talking about GameFAQs is a nostalgia bomb, back then games were actually good and blew your mind

We'll always remember... No Russian

Deep rock galactic. Fucking great game. Best 20 bucks I've ever spent.

I like some realistic games like war of rights which is a civil war simulator. So long reload times, shooting at the enemy in formation charging all that stuff is pretty hardcore. But I get just wanting to do some superhero shit

@@JuanCKaun Yeah, I like some realistic games as well, especially simulator games. But, I'm like Patrice sometimes when I'm playing some games, I just want the simple joy of having fun, like I used to get out of gaming when I was young. I tried to play a few last year but die to too much grindy shit, microtransactions, no real freedom in some games, I just stopped. I tried to play Metro Exodus last year cause I loved Metro 2033/Redux, but I came home from work after having dealt with alot of work shit, had my ex on my ass over something, and I just could not immerse myself in the game cause I got frustrated while playing on the hardest difficulty 🤣 and there was just too much going on, too much stress, I don't need that shit. I remember yeling back at the bitch cause I couldn't find any filters for my mask.

Definitely, this is what my problem was with red dead 2, fucking awful boring chore to play. First red dead was amazing.

Get an easier game then

Or Dark Souls

@@coloredgentleman rdr2 is much more impress lol

"I don't wanna have to feed my horse, how is that fun?!"

Jeanne is bae Ps. Present Day Present Time

@@wtfsamusidk7574 Hahahahahahahaha!...

i would love to hear his take on the bethesda fallout games

Imagine if he had survived long enough to react to Hatred.

what's with all you low-T nerds calling everyrhing "wholesome" now?

@@Yambag Sorry that a word riled you up, muffin

@@TheNewFlesh so you're not going to answer my question? aRe yOu RilEd uP? tRigGeReD? keep liking your own comments lmao

@@Yambag oh dang, alternating caps. I sure feel silly

@@TheNewFlesh not wholesome enough for you?

i think it was Allied Alliance or Front Line that had a truly immersive D-Day opener!

The first two Call of Duties come to my mind.

@@thomashedley9253 Frontline was amazing and the music also

It was Frontline!

@@thomashedley9253 Allied Assault had a badass D-Day level where you just die over and over again trying to get anywhere on the beach, very realistic.

Git gud

Radio gold coming up ...... Mongo the trucker your on ! What ya got for us ???? .....burp

Patrice making dream teams

Probably got the line from paltalk

@@gsesquire3441 I completely forgot Viewtiful Joe, one of the very best GameCube games. I need to buy a GameCube, burning myself out on the NES and Genesis, I think some Super Monkey Ball and Viewtiful Joe are exactly what I need.

and then watch it get more viewers and live stream listeners than his own shitty podcast lol

Was thinking the same thing

Lmao, is it actually shitty?

@@CDbiggen it’s not bad if you’re into the classic COD multiplayer which is what I like, but everything else feels really lazy, and of course I call it shitty because game developers only focus on making money aspect of it rather than actually trying to make the whole experience even better

@@mlguel.desantiagodesantiag7247 , Typical. I did get back into the series for the first time since MW3 with MW2019, but it still lacked that appeal to me. Probably will give this a miss too then.

@@CDbiggen yes.

Apparently modern warfare is still going strong because that one was done properly.

My most played FPS ever
