I give it a week before a modder has a VR mod for Minecraft. Escape from Tarkov just got a VR mod and I hear it's amazing

Stop the cap. Veilguard is garbage.

A ton of the reviews for DA were found to be botted or AI generated so don't believe the written reviews you see online

Also 60K+ players is laughably bad for a 200 million dollar budget IP with a huge fanbase so expect Bioware to get shutdown sometime next year because they won't be able to even break even with Veilguard

They ruined my beloved DA, and I hate them for it.

The dragon age situation is about to be the same as Star field.
Glowing reviews at launch, still the game is shit

Thanks Skillup. Great video, as always!

13:09 holy smoke beyond good and evil mentions, i thought it was canacled after i saw a clip of someone one on earth being sniped from outer space. WILD stuff

DA:O is so hilariously dark, even the monsters in it are terrifying. RIP Bioware

The Nintendo music app is great. It's not really a paid app, since the Nintendo Online Membership costs 20 bucks a YEAR and we all had it anyways. The music was seldom uploaded in this great quality. It's a free treat and it's awesome.

With the playercount on steam, even if we say steam is only 10 percents of the purchasers of the games they still won't be making much money if any at all…

Lets say
100,000K Purchases on steam which if we say thats 10 percent of total sales that means 1 Million copies sold

60 USD * 1,000,000 = 60,000,000 Dollars

Which seeing as most games nowadays are well into the 200 millions in cost and then even assuming they only spent 100 Mil on the game they still aren't making any money.

Why does everyone forget Sony already has launched several successful live services and only focuses on the failures. On top of the obvious Destiny: The Final Shape and Helldivers 2 there is MLB The Show & Gran Turismo 7. The first releases annually and has a FIFA ultimate team mode. GT7 constantly adds new vehicles, ongoing events and in-game currencies where one car can cost $30 or more

i feel like the industry shifted to single player games after EA made that disastrous statement that we don't play single player games anymore

after that, single player games skyrocketed and it felt like the industry was listening. turns out they were just biding their time to flood us with more live services. how many need to fail before they finally acknowledge what the market wants?

did i play the same bo6 campaign as those reviewers? i thought it was ass.

This episode just HIGHLIGHTS the difference between a youtube reviewer 'outside of the industry' and a person who gets paid to pump out reviews that ensure the game is reviewed but doesn't rock the boat too much to be considered a 'bad review' or even worse sour a relationship with a game company. Sigh. SEVEN OUT OF TENS FOR EVERYONE…

23:03 this style of reading a big quote on the screen like this isn’t working. Hurts to real because of the moving background, boring to listen to.

Bioware said the same fucking stuff about Veilguard's tone and graphics before launch. wtf do u mean "it's a relieve to hear this"?
Also, it seems like the biggest problem to players with higher than room temperature IQ is the horrendously bad writing in DA:V, if Mass Effect gets that treatment nothing else will matter.

Regarding the wolverine director change, knowing how woke insomniac is, he was probably replaced with a more "modern" director

I’m gonna say it… I need to say it.

AHEM

PUT YOUR MUSIC ON SPOTIFY YOU COWARDS!!!!

People are so used to shit art nowadays, whether it's series or films or games or music, that they praise the mediocre….

Not a mention of Clock Tower: Rewind, which released this week. Sad.

neon ko ee XD

Gee, thanks for all your hard work guys. throws it all in the trash good luck

My tastes don't always align with Ralph's (him liking LaD: Ishin but not Lost Judgement is straight lunacy) but I always appreciate the content. However, with Vielguard, the review was pretty convincing beyond just personal taste.

I have a toddler who watches Daniel Tiger. Watching the clips of Veilguard reminds me of that show where everyone is just blankly smiling at neutral and all conflicts are resolved instantly. I almost expected some of clips to end with a song like " it's not, not, not okay to hurt someone"

Concord one day will become an all time lost classic of the ages 😎

Timestamps. Respect our time 🙏

Unpopular opinion, but I’m enjoying BLOPS6 a good deal. Lots of crap about the multiplayer just doesn’t line up with my experience. Wish they had a few larger maps, but that’s it. And I’m no sweaty. Just a casual 45-year old dad gamer.

I haven't liked a Dragon Age game since the first one. Once they decided to make it more of an action game than a true RPG I lost interest.

nothing pg13 about the constant identity politics veilguard is shoving down the players' throat.

I'm gonna keep some distance from sony. They're looking to recuperate some losses without bringing anything to the table and I'm sure you can figure out where they're hoping to do that.

the people losing their job from concord is a sad thing, but…

objectively. if you do a shit job at your job… well, you shouldn't be at this job :/ bland gameplay, bland , or even repulsive character design wise… gamers don't owe you their money.

Stop.
Nintendo, Stop!
Going 2025, There would Be no mentions of Nintendo's announcements.
Mention these guys
Strike/sued years from now forsure..
