Always

@@gameranxTVthe sea of thieves chapter is off though, since it’s almost first halfway in it the game kicks in 😅 but chapters always makes it better 👏🏻

@@gameranxTV it really is helpful and IMO makes a big difference, thanks again

@@gameranxTVf you aren’t the narrator I don’t watch the video. I’m glad you got a video on hogwarts legacy. You are the channel to me Edit: falcon is the only narrator I’ll watch on this channel

@@davidhowell1415 why jake is also awesome

I can relate to this. The pacing of progression felt so good and natural.

The Ashtray Maze😍

hate me all you want but I poured hours into the old ps2 harry potter games so I was stoked that a new single player hogwarts experience was coming out and it's been exceeding my expectations in every way It's a feeling of getting lost in the world that isn't matched by any other game

Control was one of the best experiences I had playing games in the last few years. When replaying it I noticed some problems (the biggest being that the combat system is not robust enough) that I hope will be ironed out in the sequel. Can't wait!

I never could beat that game.

👍🏼

OMG. I'm looking forward to Control. I absolutely loved Quantum Break on Xbox and don't even get me started on Alan Wake. Also a huge Max Payne fan.

@@DirkMeister Control is overhyped, it’s good but very different from quantum break, which was more enjoyable for me then control.

Quantum Break is so underrated!

@Dirk Diggler I only played a bit past the prolog of Quantum Break because it felt so clunky (I'm on Series X). Is the gameplay worth it or is the story the main selling point of the game? Because I'm not really into stories, I prefer good gameplay over everything

its ok, they also included nier automata which was also from 2017, but i cant the deny how great of a game prey is

Prey was such an underrated gem thanks to the very weird controversy back then, glad that more and more people come to love it

I really wish I liked it. Had all the right ideas for a spiritual successor to stuff like the original System Shock games, but it wound up just feeling tedious to me.

yup, prey was good .. i think im giving it a replay soon, only played it on xbox one before because i didnt have a pc back then

Arkane is one of a kind. Sad they make multiplayer games now :(

Something bad

Seriously I hope a sequel or something similar comes, even a Alan wake.

@@AD3SPG a sequel has already been confirmed

The only game out of more than 100 AAA and AA games I own I perfected on Steam

I own hundreds of games and only care to fully complete a few of them. This is one of the few I’ve 100%. It’s incredible in story, mechanics, and the mf song portion - we all know which one I’m talking about - is SO insanely good. I almost feel like it’s worth replaying just to do that again.

Check out Alan Wake for more Remedy goodness

They are older than five years though right? Bloodborne definitely is, cant remember when dark souls III came out

​@miksux yeah I think it was like 2015 or 2016

BB 2015 and DS3 2016, both older than 5 years...

Des DS1 and DS2 are the ones I would consider double a

It Takes Two is an AA game.

and let's not talk about how it connects to another great game from Remedy 😉. Hopefully the sequel will have a direct link between both

I almost put it down in the first couple hours, because it was making me think The Division: SCP Edition, and I hate The Division with a passion. Actually, I did put it down for a few weeks before deciding to give it one more shot before uninstalling it. Boy, am I glad I stuck it out long enough for it to lose most of its similarities to The Division. One of my favorite games of the last decade.

Love Control's story - but the fighting system is kind of boring to me.

That merltroidvania design i fucking love it

Play any other Remedy game, they're all exactly the same. Control has 1 enemy type you fight over and over, it was a pure slog to get through.

@@jasongrundy1717 uhh lol no 😂

@Felix Challis uhh lol yes 🤣

@@jasongrundy1717 Love when people say there's 1 enemy type. I instantly know you didn't play it. Or when people say the story doesn't make sense, I know they didn't read any of the memos you collect.

​@@jasongrundy1717 soo u didn't get through at all cuz there's literally way more than 1 enemy type

Brilliantly put.

Ehm... No... Not even close man. Not on the narrative,world building or gameplay wise. The only thing Forspoken take from Control is that they have both a female protagonish and nothing else.

@@RomnysGonzalez Forspoken is terrible, but it definitely took inspiration from Control. The whole vibe of the gameplay feels like it was ripped

@@RomnysGonzalez Two female protagonists with supernatural abilities. Both games frequently take you in and out of different dimensions as well. And specifically, I think the shield thing Frey does, when she charges it, is similar to Jesse's. That's just my opinion though.

Every Remedy game is exactly the same.

And Forespoken fell flat on its face

👌👍🏼

You should play Arkane's Prey (maybe you already have).

@@daycampgames I have! I enjoy it, but it didn’t suck me in the same way Deathloop did and games from my childhood did. Couldn’t tell you why, it just didn’t capture my attention the way my favorite games do.

Control is the last masterpiece that videogame industry delivers tu us. Big expectations about Control 2 and Alan Wake 2.

@@sekoncen9559 Right on. I totally get that.

lol what, the game is trash

Control is incredible. I bought it Sunday night jumped on for a few minute to try it out before going to bed. Next thing i know, it's 2am and im texting my boss pretending to be sick :D

Yes it is niche but based on team size, money spent and marketing push it cannot be indie.

I think hes a genius game designer. the problem is; he thinks himself as a genius writer, and thats drags down everything he does

i thought it was pretty meh too. not every gaming experience is every players cup of tea

I too found it lack luster. It was hard to make sense of the story and weapon variety got old pretty quick. There is one mission in a maze which was beyond amazing but apart from that I didn't find it that special.

Jesse’s voice acting and writing for her internal dialogue are also pretty bad. Trying too hard to make every single thing she says/thinks sound meaningful, like she’s really concentrating, which is completely unnatural. Terrible.

So I restarted it from the beginning, and this time around I’m completely hooked. It’s really good. Not great, but good. Basically I was kinda playing it wrong, and was also too distracted at the time to dig into the story through item descriptions, which I normally really enjoy. Or to play around with mods, which are essential. I’m also really enjoying the Twin Peaks and X-Files influence, and even Ghostbusters! It feels like it should still reward players more for exploration, there’s a lot of unfulfilled potential. The puzzles are fun too, but feel a little half-baked. But now it’s got me hoping they’ll take it further with more games. And I need to play Max Payne!

It's not often I give up on a game, I usually finish the basic story at least. But not Control, couldn't be arsed.

Thanks for watching

I'd pay a fortune to play Control for the first time again. Enjoy and read as much as you can find!

Definitely take your time with control, the map layout can be difficult to memorize the first few times you play but there are cleverly hidden secret areas which can give you powers but not all need to be accessed during a story mission(you eventually get all abilities just by 100% the game but you can find some good stuff earlier if you’re willing to explore a bit.

@@Barrythebarnabas Thanks. Good to know. I love advice.

Funny how I have played and am playing the same exact games you are rn

Definitely an homage to _The Prisoner_ (1960s British sci-fi series) what with the island setting and the 1960s modernist styles/decor/OST.

Glad you like them!

It's just another roguelike.

Whats unique about it?

👍🏼

👌👍🏼

haven’t beaten it yet, on the last fight against the big dude after you get sucked into the tornado but it’s ass on hard because the whole, doing over the entire thing again doesn’t sit right with me so i benched it for now

playing the new game + with all the ablitys and counter stance feels like devil may cry sometimes

Nope.

Correct, partially - except, _"i as in eye"_ ? "Eye" has no "i" and "as in" means exactly that: *_"as in"_* so you'd pick a word that actually has an "i" *_in it,_* but is pronounced as "eye," like, for instance, "ironic" (sort of like people correcting others make mistakes, I guess, or "correcting" actual English usage based on weird American usage / Americanisms, but that's a whole other chapter and not the case here, "eye-terating" is not just wrong, but almost painfully tongue-twisting and weird, like making an extra effort just to get it wrong for some reason, since "it-erating" is easier and quicker to say). So, for (another) example, you don't say _"a, or b, or c, or d, ... or i, ... or x, or z [or any other random letter that actually isn't __*_in your example word_* you get the point, I hope] as in sky,"_ you say _"y as in sky." "Words are hard," some like to say, but languages and speech is interesting fun, in different ways, depending on whether used correctly or incorrectly; in the former case it's fun _as in_ [teasing :p] fascinating, in the latter case more as a sort of comedy of horrors, but either way, without words, language(s), and speech, we'd still only be grunting - and theories say, we (and our brains) may have never evolved beyond (grunting) animals. Obviously some evolve more than others (on individual levels, not as groups, racial or national or any other) in terms of speech and language aptitudes (and since, the theory goes, that's tied so closely to overall intellectual development and evolutionary steps, maybe in terms of overall intelligence and aptitudes as well, to some extent). (Well, this was fun; turning four little words -or five, if we include "the trigger word," that _eye-watering "eye-terating"_ into a linguistic discourse. "Leave it to me...") (PS / edit - I know you meant "i pronounced as eye," but you did write _"i as in eye"_ :)

👆🏻 same here

Something almost anything but a mobile game 😆

@Alfred Dominguez they actually have hiring up on there website for the 2nd game

Console or PC ?

@@dzangam1879 I play on all platforms. But for this game I am playing on console.

Yes but Returnal isn't exactly AAA, it was more of a AA game. And before you say it was a first-party Playstation game, yes that's sort of true but also no. Housemarque was acquired by Sony after Returnal came out, so Returnal was made by a then-independent developer that has only made AA (albeit really good AA) in the past. Housemarque's next game will be their first AAA game.

@@jimmythegamer2231 I think Returnal was classed as AAA

I would have dropped Deathloop to honorable mention. Can’t verify the budget of Returnal but between the visual polish, story and combat I think AAA is deserved.

👆🏻

Its a One in a generation game, we wont get anything near that quality for a long time

New?

New?

Its nothing new you obviously never played a soulsborne game before if you think this Elden Ring is just Dark souls 1-3 with added content and open world.

ayy nice one. Ultra nightmare next? Finished it a while back and the sense of acomplishment is something else. You can do it

@@nathanr6381 i dont think a lot of people have enough time on their hands to beat a 10 hour campaign with permadeath on. you can save after a mission but its bugged so itll just drop you in with no weapons, basically resetting your run anyways.

Our pleasure!

Have that on steam but forgot about it. I'll move it to the top of my backlog 👍

Agree it would have been predictable if it was a straight up remake, noting wrong with it but nice to get some different surprises.

I'm just glad FF7R has the vastly superior action RPG combat system. The fact that they're changing the story is a big bonus. Let's be frank, anyone who is interested in an Final Fantasy 7 remake in the first place is highly likely to already know the entire original FF7 story by heart. I wish other remakes would delve more into improving not just the gameplay but the story too.

Firstly, I wouldn’t say action rpg combat is “vastly superior”. Secondly, the story changes were not good, like at all.

@@joelanderson8062 I mean they are already using atb in og FF7. The one in FF7Re is just a logical improvement from their previous games. You can move in battle and normal attack doesn't consume atb bar (FF12), "more actions per turn" (FF13), seamless walking and encounter (FF15) and now you can do normal attack faster resulting in faster non boss encounter. As for the story, I won't say anything before they are complete. Tho yeah if you compare it to Trails where even though the story is not complete yet each game still has their own great story FF7Re kinda bland if it just stand alone like that.

Yo friends is missin out, once I told my mama that it's connected to Alan wake, she hooked finally after years of tryna get her interested

The problem is that Elden Ring is not unique in just about anything it does. Open world? Nope. Souls like? Not even close. Weapons, armor, items, crafting, with very opaque quest design? No again. I don't hate Elden Ring, I even liked it enough to play through it three times, but I can't think of one thing that makes it unique in any way. I think from a gameplay and game design perspective Sekiro is miles ahead of Elden Ring in many ways. I don't hate it but I also don't quite understand the obscene love affair many have with it. There are games that are better than that one in my opinion, and even objectively there are many better.

Exclusives should be a crime.

@@immortalfrieza Hopefully ,in the future , we won’t have exclusive anymore, but Sony, Microsoft etc, want to have them to sell their consoles, but alot of the recent exclusives eventually come to PC anyway, which makes the entire point of saying they are “exclusive” void.

@@kingofcrimson4177 Go with streaming then and the pool of hardware will be bigger.

@@kingofcrimson4177 Hopefully. Maybe someday we'll have consoles that sell on their own merits because they provide something that's unique and worthwhile rather than because they lock particular games to particular consoles.

👌

i’ll get my hands on it after finally grabbing a ps5 this friday. looks so fun and different from the usual main story driven zombie games i’ve been playing recently. anything i should look out for?

you should check out gameranx video “Top 15 NEW Upcoming Games”

True, though I think KH was the point where they created a truly timeless ARPG. Like I think 20 years from now KH2 will still be one of the best action combat systems in gaming. It can be played entirely through spamming attack, but it also has a ton of depth if you’re willing to break away from button mashing (which is necessary on critical diff) and it allows you to tap into that depth very smoothly
