  1. If you're feeling brave to try an old game, the original Thief 1 & 2 (and 3, though some changes are good others not good) are so worth it, but the SquareEnix one? Garbage. The fact you gave it 5 minutes I'm surprised you were even THAT generous because I suffered through the entire campaign. As far as old games go, though, Thief IS still pretty damn playable. The sound design is INCREDIBLE especially for its age, well worth looking into. Trust me, the single most dated thing about Thief is its graphics. If you don't feel it after the first mission, maybe it won't be for you, but the first mission gives you everything you need to know.

  2. This should surprise no one and this is an instance where the publisher should be sued (but not a class action lawsuit, which oft serve only to make the associated lawyers wealthy)

  3. Regarding Lord Crispy's comment, it's not only people invested in the Discord that listen to the podcast. Unlike Lord Crispy, I will only speak for myself but I'm not on Discord (for various reasons) and I listen to all these podcasts, always have, always will.
    If indie stuff doesn't work for the main videos, then please continue to discuss them in the pod. If nothing else, it gives me two separate points of view. I'd like to move away from AAA games and more into the indie scene, but there's so much of it and I'm fairly picky about what I like to play. So highlighting worthy games is worth it IMO, even if it is only occasionally. 🙂

  4. 18:44 holy shit someone who actually gets it. The executives of these companies are literal multi-millionaires and billionaires. You don't get to that position by being fucking stupid. They're smart as hell, they have industry leading psychologists, businesspeople, analysts and models of prediction that you can't even fathom. They are the people that devise and execute these business practices. If they feel like it, they can take it all down. They can occasionally make miscalculations for sure, but these was completely on Bioware. If anything EA improved the game from its original vision.

  5. great comment about making 20 AA games as opposed to 1 AAA one, but you are forgetting one fundamental issue. The "alpha males" who run the company know what they are doing, so never ever question their decisions. It is as if they do not know what they are doing especially when they are getting paid millions of dollars.

  6. Anthem is indeed dead. They've simply left the corpse out to rot. Only took about 2 months and GOG support staff initially insinuating I was abusing the developers by requesting my refund, I finally got it… In the form of GOG funny money. Oh well, better than nothing.

  7. I personally love what EA did with Anthem, ditched it. They've made these "roadmaps" and empty promises so blatantly fraudulent that now GAAS can finally be put to rest and we can crack on with real, complete games. EA isn't what this industry wants but it's definitely what it needs

  8. Narita Boy looks like the kind of game I get excited about, buy and never actually play lul. Still gonna get it but… I mean, Hyper Light Drifter, I swear I'm gonna play you… some day…

  9. 21:14 Hell yeah for Valheim! The gameplay is there while the grahics is okay.
    45:11 I bought Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction (expansion). For the sake of relearning the game because of the Diablo 2 Resurrection announcement, I'm way hyped for that game!

  10. I'm glad I bought anthem on sale, thanks to my refusal to buy games day one (especially ea ones)… it's only £10 down the drain instead of £50-£70… I feel sorry for the people that paid full price 😕…
    Tbh though, I was never feeling anthem, all I want is the good old single player storybased games from Bioware… but that's likely dead and gone, seeing as the bioware I loved has left the company.

  11. The one with the hat on the left got it wrong. Anthem is not broken; it simply isn't worth playing. A game that is broken is unplayable ( game < 5/10). Anthem isn't unplayable, there's just no reason to play it. Nothing really compels someone to start and continue. It has a world that doesn't reward you for exploring, it has a story but the characters don't meaningfully interact with the world. It has antagonists who are sadly one-dimensional. It's claiming to be an RPG but you don't really play a role.

  12. I am a bit disappointed by the CP2077 patch delay, but having completed my first 135 hour playthrough recently, I don't mind having an excuse to keep playing some of the other games I have been neglecting this past 2 months 😉. High time I finished Wasteland 3, actually!

  13. Good video, thanks. I completely agree with you Mr Henry I've got a very good PC now just in case you haven't mentioned it yet Cooper. I've watched dozens of youtuber gaming news and YOU do video gaming news better because it's informative, direct and at a speed that I don't have to double <3
