Compared to some other games on that list Grime is relatively high profile in the sense it got coverage on multiple prominent websites and the footage looks impressive. I hope it will be successful! Only consideration I have is that I prefer playing those kind of games on console. So waiting out on the Steam launch in hope of a console release is a bit of a dilemma since it might prevent the success needed for a console port later on.

It's really sad when there's a showcase in E3 that actually features some indie game trailers, and then 90% of reactions are just "Boo bad graphics" and "boring skip pls", I wish people actually gave indie games a try and appreciated the amount of work and passion that went into them, instead of buying into the hype for the next soulless Ubisoft open world game or the next military shooter...
@michaelmonstar4276
@michaelmonstar4276 2 жыл бұрын
Eh, while I agree, I disagree that Ubisoft-games are necessarily soulless. Well, I'm coming from the latest "AC"-angle. People don't give what they DID put into that enough credit either and people like you just listen to people like Ralph shit on it while not giving the details credit. - I'm not saying they are (or it/"Valhalla" is) the best game ever, not even close. I'm not even disagreeing that it's bloated and all that stuff. But there's more to it than that. - Anyway, again; I agree that people should stop looking at the AAA-stuff and measure games by how good they LOOK or what kind of technology they use (although, even the indie-stuff could be using some impressive techniques, as they're inventive). - But we can't avoid this anymore, because the general audience, which has become a newer generation, grew into this stuff and has been brainwashed to prioritize superficial stuff over substantial stuff. - It's really easy to also ride the "EA/Ubisoft hate train", but I really resent people who don't give credit where credit's due, no matter indie or AAA status. I've seen indie-studios turn on their customers or even their own employees too, for that matter, as I've spent my fair share of time with those games and their communities. - Nothing is safe or sacred, probably because money gets involved. You can kiss "passion" goodbye at that point. - I suppose videogames should be looked at on a case-by-case basis, like any product.

@@michaelmonstar4276 You make some good points, I've enjoyed Ubisoft games in the past but the last few years they seem to try to stuff their games as much as possible with filler content, AC games used to be 20-25 hour games with some decent side content and collectibles, but nowadays with Odyssey and Valhalla they turned into 100+ hour long bloaty fetch quest filled games, I had hoped with Valhalla they'd scale down the map and make a smaller more focused experience that's shorter but better crafted, but unfortunately they delivered another Odyssey. I can recognize that a lot of passion went into it though, the narrative was interesting, the characters too, and of course the amount of historical research that must have gone into it is mindblowing. But there were a lot of good ideas that ultimately went to waste, most likely thanks to the executives that only care about games that sell instead of games with heart, not to mention they snuck in microtransactions into the game months after release just to avoid the backlash from reviews which is just such a shitty move that only Ubisoft and EA are capable of making.

Ralph, I really can't express how much I appreciate what you have been doing for the past year or so. I like your reviews, and I know they are the vids that generate the most income for you. But for someone like me, whose interests in the game industry go beyond knowing whether a newly released high-budget title is good or not, videos like this one and your 'This Week in Videogames' series have kept me watching your channel far more, than ever before.
