Hey, we're not talking about UndertheMayo.

Reusing enemies is incredibly important, to keep a consistent setting and feeling for a game series. Imagine if Halo after Combat Evolved diched the Elites, Grunts, Jackals, Hunters Sentinels and the Flood. Leaving us in Halo 2 with only Brutes, Buggers and awkward amount of Prophets. Yeah the game is so much better. One of my actual complaints in Dead Space 3 was it didn't bring back certain enemy types which made the game less interesting. Seriously bringing back old enemies but giving them new tricks is one of the cornerstones of a sequel. It's literally building on what came before and improving it, what every sequel is supposed to strive to do. Like I know Synthetic Man says so much dumb shit but that's legit one of the STUPIDEST (In terms of game design), and his smug/disrespectful attitude towards someone questioning him, is insane.

That being said if they and the couple other new enemies were the only ones in the game, instead of appearing only a handful of times, they would have never been as memorable or unique as they are.

One of the times where not reusing enemies is a good idea is if you're traveling to different planets (e.g., Ratchet and Clank) and you want to make each planet feel unique by using different flora and fauna. Of course, you can reuse enemies even in that scenario (still using R&C as an example) if you want to have some kind of persistent faction like the Tyrrhanoids in R&C3, with which you can convey the idea of "Hey, the main bad guy has his forces everywhere, he's bad news". You can also just use the same robots here and there to show the influence of a corporation as well, in that their models of robots are in use all over the place.

Not to mention he is a hypocrite about since the original God of War games reuse enemies just give them new tricks but he doesn't complain there. Giving a unit new tricks is also not lazy. A new trick can include something as simple as a new weapon. Better AI. A melee attack. Different melee attacks/combos. Unlockable attacks. A Dodge roll. A shield. Any number of these combined can change the way you approach and face the enemy and can catch you off guard when they pull out this new option.

I know it's kind of a meme to say it in normal contexts, but unironically, SyntheticMan went into GOW:Ragnarok hating it. He has zero patience for this game going in, never listens to any hints or tutorials (ironic considering how obnoxious said tutorials are about handholding the player), doesn't engage with the mechanics at any point, while simultaneously calling the game broken, unbalanced, cheap, lame, and the like. Because if SyntheticMan actually did give GOWR a fair shake he probably wouldn't have nearly as many complaints about it that he does but because he has it set in his mind that the game 'must' be bad, he has to play it like a goddamn Games Journo in order to frame it as such. And as he doesn't engage with the game, the game becomes a worse experience for him, circling into more negativity the further along he does. A perfect self fulfilling prophecy that nets him the benefit of talking about his issues with the story on a meta scale.

All while ignoring said characters growth over the game, along with him not even trying to use combos and the like.

However, when someone is hired because they are of certain ethinicity it is bad because you cut ouf a massive pool of applicants. It is the same for sex based hiring, sexuality based hiring, etc. It is different when a job requires you to have specific look (actor, model, singer, dancer and others) but if a requirement is not justified (I need to hire X because diversity is our strength, because their people suffered in the past, because we need to change the society) it is bad for the organization and for the people hired. Because when they move along in their career people will question their abilities and previous positions because of them being diversity hire. Also, Sweet Baby inc. is problematic because their goal is political in nature. They exist to neuter games and punish those who don't kneel to their demands via bad press and (this might be bs rumor) threaten legal action on the basis of discrimination. It's fine (even kind of required) that if you make a game about ancient Skandinavia, you only see Skandinavians. If devs add other ethnicites they need to explain it.

@@bigtreeguy7336 Of course them being a diversity hire doesn't immediately mean they aren't capable of the job, but the only way to know this is if you saw the person's merits before hiring them, therefore making them no longer a diversity hire because they're then hired on their capability. It's simply too risky and too unfair to have a diversity hire because then you have a schrodinger's employee, where you don't know if they're capable or not until they either do a good job or mess up catastrophically. Here's an extreme example to exemplify it: Can you imagine if a surgeon was hired for their hair color and no one even bothered to check for a medical degree?

This entire episode could be an EFAP highlight. The gold just keeps coming and coming, all the way till the end

I just want to watch whole episode again!

I haven’t seen it yet (I really don’t want to suffer through that) and I’m mostly through the game and will probably finish it tomorrow, I’m a little curious because tho I’m enjoying the game and the story has some great moments, I got plenty of issues, and I wonder if SM can say even one or will he say shot like “you play as MJ and she can fight slightly out of nowhere, woke!” *insert clip that no doubt exists of MJ mentioning she got a bit of Silver Sable training as he zones out and doesn’t pay attention to the dialogue*. What are some of the points he makes in it? I did hear just now he apparently did a death threat at Insomniac to the point his own fans turned against him so I doubt his criticisms are anything worth paying attention to.

@@mediadetective6104 I know I'm 3 months late to this. Basically the game is woke because: MJ's face is different and looks too "masculine" (reminder that the face change was because of her model being in an accident which required surgery on her face similar to Mark Hamill). The ENTIRELY OPTIONAL side mission where you help a gay student ask his boyfriend out to homecoming is woke. The ENTIRELY OPTIONAL side mission where you play as Miles' deaf (and black) girlfriend is woke. Peter gets his ass kicked a few times (explained in game as him being stressed and tired after 9-10 years of being Spider-Man). Peter apologises to Mary Jane for being an asshole and tries to placate MJ when she is infected by the symbiote. They didn't have many cops in the game. Those are his main reasons for the game being "woke". No real critique of the story other than "it's woke and bad".

Why didn't you include the section of the video where Synthetic Man made several calls for violance like when he said "Too many normies. We should take up arms and I mean that litaraly."

Id argue the point of EFAP isnt to have their audience agree with them on what's good or bad, they just want to talk a out the quality of writing or gameplay. They often disagree with each other and the audience, but its usually in a respectful way. I recommend at least giving them a shot. Start with something easy like EFAP 93. Everyone like Lord of the Rings, and they watch a really bad review that hates it

I think the best part of this entire clip is Fringy's continuous malfunction.

I found a couple of his videos I think a year ago and I figured he had something worthwhile to say about the state of modern gaming. Now it all sounds like ramblings dressed up in a few things I wanted to hear.

if it wasn't for having to watch through his streams being inhumane torture I kinda want to see a video that has every instance of "Mauler likes this game" played all at once

i didn't know who this guy was. but seeing him, he really lives up to that name.

Synthetic Man hates women so much that i will willingly bet that he will die of a heart attack if he plays games like Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles. Theses games are known for having a lot of female characters. And he probably would despise every single one of them.

I love when he said “I’m going to get in trouble” and then Atreus said “ where are your parents.” ….what a fool this guy is. And he lives with his mom….which pretty much shows you that he knows nothing about the real world…probably grew up wealthy and never had to work a hard day in his life….

2:10 You do have to look a little, but what I don't get is he says modern games are scared of gore. If anything I'd say modern games, some AAA, mostly indie, are actually pushing more towards gore. Resident Evil 2 Remake, The Last of Us Part 2, and Dead Island 2 have the best high-quality gore I've seen in any game. Indie games like Peoples Playground, Trepang 2, First Cut: Samurai Duel, and Half Sword are just a few of them that show people still like to see blood and gore all over the place.

He critiques game journalists’ abilities to play video games that they review or speak on, because he values self reflection. In all seriousness, it is baffling how much of an attitude he has. He is not being comedic in how he speaks about gaming or video games, but simply off putting and rude in a way. How he has ardent followers is beyond me.
