    On the extrinsic challenges part: One of my favorite games is Sly 2: Band of Thieves. It's just a damn satisfying stealth game, even if the final boss is a bit of a pisser. I've recently taken to doing pacifist runs of that game. Never killing non-mandatory enemies, for any reason. Some missions require you to bump off a few guards or bosses, but otherwise it's very doable. Challenging, but damn satisfying to sneak past a half dozen guards the game intended you to dispatch.

    Love the show but hate the idea of free health care. Over the last 100 years socialism has killed 10s of millions of people. The most socialist states in the U.S. like California and Illinois are hardest to thrive in, they are losing their people to freer states like Texas, where they have more freedom to choose for themselves and forge they’re on path. I understand where Yahtzee is coming from and it would be amazing to have a dialogue will him someday, not to persuade him. But just so we had a complete understanding of each other’s view points and be able to appreciate each other for our separate ideas.

    Oh man I know this is nearly a year late but so many of his comments make it clear he (at time of release) had an incomplete view of the game and the romance arcs. The sex scene with Lae'Zel is not the end of a romance arc like he said would be the norm, but the beginning. Spoilers for the Lae'Zel romance - sex is the beginning of your relationship, and it's just a physical exchange, the end of her romance arc is her sitting down and talking with you about her feelings in an emotionally vulnerable way. This is the exact opposite of how you normally order the events but it does look great as a complete arc. Karlach, Gale, and Wyll are also more slow burn in terms of getting physical with them Astarion also gets physical early on but also has an incredible arc. IDK about Shadowheart but I believe she doesn't take you to bed in the early acts.

    Surprised Oracle of Seasons/Ages isn't on the list. Also, Link's Awakening has probably the saddest ending of any game in the franchise. And unless you pull off a non-death run, everyone but Link dies.

Even though Fromsoftware proves them wrong all the time. A ton of great B and A games would make so much more money with less risk bc all of your money isn't in one basket

    Funny you should mention ninjas considering we're getting an AC with an african japanese samurai, the ubisoft designers must have been taking notes for real. Or, somewhat more plausibly, they must have fed this video into their game design AI algorithm like very other bloody studio these days, that's about how much innovation it feels like they're inputting into AAA these days. Fucking christ.

    Happy 12 year and 1 month anniversary of the Yahtzee review of Skyrim everyone, here's to 12 more until TES6, may our squandered hopes of a good sequel be inherited by our children and our children's children. It is the only inheritance they will realistically get along with our steam libraries full of anime tiddy profile backgrounds and indie games, god knows those are the only good games coming out these days.

    Honestly I like the main gameplay for some reason, probably because I'm used to walking on walls gimmick platformers. I still feel the same way about the game through, how? The mini games. They are pretty simple and hard, so what so bad about them. Chapter 19. All the chapter even is reused mini games, that were originally optional. The worse chapter in the game easily.

    This whole trying to be realistic concept is drastically backfiring & ruining games. It looks awful. They are better off taking an unrealistic/ artistic route. The realism can destroy any sort of escapism. It can destroy the soul to a game. It looks off putting & unappealing. I miss older game designs SO MUCH all of that didn't have to just go away just because things are "progressing" It sure doesn't feel like progress. How can gaming be so out of touch with good game design or good artistic direction? It basically feels like 95% of the game industry has been taken over by people who have no idea what a good game is because they don't play video games and didn't play games growing up. Where is THE PASSION! Growing up in the 90's, It really felt like the future of gaming was going to be awesome. It wasn't just about graphics. It was physics effects, art styles, a range of gameplay mechanics, damage effects, environmental interaction, an assortment of gameplay modes, engaging CPU to play against in single player modes, offline modes. Current video games focus way too much on graphical nitpicking. It seems they forgot how much players enjoyed physics effects & other aspects that make games fun. Quirky graphics can work, if a creative art style is used. Add engaging CPU AI, gameplay modes, the list goes on.. idk what happened? Also: {We have seen that even if companies delay games, it isn't improving the quality of games being released. Which is a sign there is a MUCH DEEPER issue going on with modern games. No excuses, devs used to make great games with much less and they would have given anything to have certain capabilities to utilize that are available today. It just takes actual passion, focus & talent to make great games. Sidenote: It's so crazy how many people are still supporting super mega rich companies putting out unacceptable products.. i don't understand certain people. I don't understand how certain companies can be messing up so badly. It's frustrating that other passionate people are not allowed to make a version of a type of game that we used to have but no longer get anymore.. Yet these huge companies get full control over if an unused game IP gets made & they do everything they can so no other versions of a game idea will ever come out. Even if there's a huge fan base around certain ideas and there's a ton of passionate devs out there dying to make a version of a certain video game idea.. that frustrates me beyond belief}
