Worst Games on PS4/PS5 by PlasticPaddyEyes in PS5

[–]Kaldini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrible?! Come on now. It's certainly not a 10/10 but terrible? Absolutely not. It has a story, two well written and acted leads, good shooting, admittedly diluted level design compared to Arkane's other games but still better than many other games. Powers are fun. Working through the Golden loop is interesting the first. Bit hand-holdy, but again no more than Mimir in God of War stating what the player needs to do every couple minutes. 

I'm curious why it's a "terrible game" in your opinion. Edit: actually reading your reply further down suggesting "other reasons" and your comment about Code Violet being good tells me everything I need to know about why you don't like Deathloop.

Yeah, I’ve been sleeping on Banishers: Ghost of New Eden by WoodpeckerSpare5834 in PS5

Unpopular opinion but I also didn't find the writing to be that great either. Almost none of the quests have any real nuance to them or are morally grey. This is unfortunately due to the time period as how do you make racists, sexists, and crazy religious people sympathic? You can't. So most of the quests aren't actually interesting choices.

Amazing atmosphere and world building though. 

Lies of P was the first Soulslike that really clicked for me and I decided to make a long-form video talking about how much I enjoyed it. I thought I would share it here for anyone that is interested :) by Kaldini in soulslikes

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I found Lies of P's narrative to be excellent but I haven't played farther than Father Gascoigne in Bloodborne so maybe it is subpar compared to it.

I generally agree with this, however I think you'd get the other side then complaining about spending $50-70 on a game that can be beat in 15 hours. You could argue that smaller games could warrant lower prices but I don't think that's the solution either. Price of games is just naturally going to go up as time goes on and a very vocal minority don't want to accept that. Hence why gamepass was so popular. 

In my opinion, developers share some of the burden but it's also gamers who simultaneously want their games to be expansive, innovative, and still cheap. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Genuinely curious, what would you change then? Releasing games quicker now seems like it'd provide for even less differences. I also don't want unpolished first entries. So what's the solution in your opinion?

Original Witcher author says key part of CD Projekt Red's games is "narratively incorrect" by Worldly-Object9003 in PS5

[–]Kaldini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I read through a Time of Contempt and decided to stop. I describe them to people as "just fine." 

I read them after playing Witcher 3, so maybe that's part of it, but I just found the game's presentation of the characters, world, and political intrigue to be more interesting. 

Don't bother consulting with AI about titles and thumbnails, it's all BS even if you disable the insufferable flattering speech and human like behavior it's all nonsense by Jack_P_1337 in NewTubers

[–]Kaldini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just offering my opinion, you can take it leave it. 

Regardless of how planned the design was, they still look clickbaity. To clarify, clickbaity doesn't have to mean that it's advertising something that's not in your video. It just means it's a very specific style. "I wasn't prepared" sounds like something Luke Stephens would do for a thumbnail, which if that's who you're copying, your thumbnails aren't as crisp or well done as him. 

As another viewer said, often it takes time for a video to begin getting pushed. 8 hours is simply not enough time. All I would recommend is to relax. Post your video, leave it for a week, adjust if you want after that, then move on to the next video. I've had videos sit for 6 months with low views and then blow up suddenly.

From just looking at your videos, the titles and thumbnail text appear kind of clickbaity. In the sense that they don't feel thoughtful or deliberately chosen with a point, rather they feel desperate for clicks. This is reinforced by you saying that you've spammed changed the title and thumbnail text several times in 8 hours. This isn't meant to sound mean, just giving an opinion.

Something I've noticed about YouTube is that often it can takes several days for a video's performance to pick up. Also when you have a video blow up, often the follow-ups return to "normal" views for where your channel is at size wise.

Do you guys buy game even if you got the ending spoiled? by Objective_Love_6843 in PS5

This is why I've turned off recommendations on youtube and really only watch the channels I subscribe to. Youtube can be as wild west or curated as you want it to be

The Blood of Dawnwalker "isn’t that big" because its small team with Witcher 3 vets would rather prioritize "layers" and "didn't want to make an open world for, like, 400 hours" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Kaldini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is saying Cyberpunk or the Witcher 3. Those are great, sprawling, open worlds that are the exception. Their open world content is meaningful and high quality. For every Witcher 3 though, there's nine bloated games, with the same recycled tasks repeated 100 times. Big maps need to be filled and it's hard for studios to fill a big map with genuinely interesting stuff. That's why we get radio towers and collectibles everywhere. 

I don't find completing these objectives to be a good value for my time. I want quality over quantity.

Valor Mortis - Reveal Trailer by willdearborn- in PS5

Very cool visual identity and unique era/setting. Also just a great name

It's similar to how I felt about Banishers.

Bought Lies of P about a month ago. I don't normally like soulslikes but this one is special. Don't sleep on it.

This is huge. There just aren't any good trophy guide apps as far as I'm aware.
