Thanks for a great year everyone, here's to making 2019 even better! I'll continue trying my best to give you guys the best possible content I can, thanks again! What were YOUR favorite games of 2018?

The reason it takes so long to vault is because everyone is disabled with prosthetics

Wow, thanks Renn! Really appreciate the shoutout and the comments you leave on my videos, means a lot. I'm still watching everything you upload.

Yes, do movie reviews. Actually do any type of review. You make anything fun to watch.

RDR2 is up there with The Witcher 3 as my favorite game yet I aknowledge that that is due to how much I enjoy inmersing myself into the world, the story and characters. I got the platinum and there is a trophy that requires you to replay missions achieving X number of headshots, accuracy, time and that kind of stuff and the moment you strip the game of its pace, story and inmersion and you just play it for the objectives, the game actually becomes a chore. I'm surprised of how I can enjoy a horse ride of 5 minutes one moment and hate it when I'm not caring about what the characters say.

Renn with a hard r

I can absolutely agree with you on Battlefield 5. I was hyped on there being something that might have brought back a bit of the combat depth from earlier Battlefields, and preordered the game after trying the Beta. Of course it was broken, but I just wanted something tactical, albeit mindless, with as much depth as you could get out of that. Having played around 50-70 really actively trying to make the game my main timesink, the gameplay just doesn't change from when I played the second hour in the Beta. You lost nothing from jumping ship early, the gameplay is incredibly shallow, it favors the shooters as said from Battle(non)Sense, and it also punishes anything that isn't a very mobile, on your feet playstyle, regardless of class. It was hard to realise that, as I was playing, it was just doing the same thing, over and over, in the way I approached an encounter, and trying to approach things in any other way wasn't functional, and neither were you as a player rewarded in the sense of gameplay by doing so. You should and would be running, always. Always moving, anywhere. They also hampered MMG and HMG, so that you had to be stationary against a contextually proper object, and in turn, standing still, leaving you at a disadvantage. The camping in the different battlefields was a problem, yes. The grenade spam was a problem, yes. Penalizing it in a way that makes it unconstructive, that makes you less effective in playing the game as it is supposed to be played, capturing points and helping out each other by tactical advantages, means you remove it as a feasible possibility apart from in very special and context specific situations. The most effective I was was when I ran around as Scout with the ZH semi-automatic, and two tapped people in the chest. You could clear anything practically, and any element of tactical depth is lost when a guy with a rifle runs out into the open, already fired a bullet into you before he crosses the corner, with a firerate faster than an average human reaction speed. It lost its depth because of how they wanted to appease the more casual crowd, making the most straightforward approach the most successful. You would think a game I would be so utterly good at, that I could easily just breese through by skill would be rewarding to play, but no. The gameplay lost its charm because it lacked depth to it. It was not rewarding because it lacked sustance, there was not really more to it than running and shooting. Any other approach to the game was ineffective, or put you at a disadvantage. Veichles felt less of a threat, humans felt less cohesive, classes didn't feel distinct, and both felt unable to create any tactical advantage apart from just being more guns on the ground, and the maps, whilst visually appealling, didn't feel as distinct as they could have. I really love your content. you are the one who made any if all Destiny content interesting to me (A game I do not and have never played), and I am sorry to hear about your dogs condition. I hope you made, or can make the most out of the time you have left with her, and that she has a graceful passing.

You know what one of my favorite parts of Spiderman PS4 was? The rumble mechanics. Sure, the webswinging was simplistic, but when you were swinging it and you were at your lowest point, it really felt awesome, and I made it fun for me.

It doesn’t even sound like you like God of War

I lightly disagree with the God of War stuff. I did feel they were holding back with the more epic stuff but i think they needed to build a bit on the series again. Im pretty sure we are gonna see 2 more games and im guessing they are holding alot of the world changing stuff till then.

I enjoy your reviews, but i can't agree on everything you say. I personally really enjoyed God of War and I think there is a clear reason why it is a game of the year for 2018. But after all we all have different experiences during our time playing the games. I relate to one thing and you to another witch is why I believe games are so great. Thanks for the great reviews by the way.

I want any review you can throw my way no matter what it is about and is of your quality my perfect baby boy child son have a kiss from Papa muah.

I understand what you’re saying about JC4... and I agree with 95% of it. But I like and the fact that Rico has the large majority of his skills from JC3. Though I wish there were more *completely new* abilities, sections to an actual and fully fleshed-out skill tree, and weapons. Because while I like having access to most of Ricos older abilities, I don’t really care for the fact that there is ultimately very little to unlock, and if any one on earth wanted to, they could easily progress through the game without devoting any time to unlocking skills, abilities, and/or weapons. I have always taken issue with sequels that arbitrarily strip all of the characters knowledge and ability away… I’ve always felt that if the point of the sequel is to *continue* the story of the protagonist. Going fromunskilled pleb to ultra-badass, only for the sequels to somehow regressed the hero back to his unknowledgeable and unskilled state never made sense. I think the problem is that, you do have to have enough *new* skills and abilities that the player must work for and earn, But you shouldn’t spend half of the game unlocking a bunch of abilities you’ve had access to you since the first game. That’s why as much as gamers claim to want as much content as possible, I understand the Developers Dilemma of wanting to provide a full experience, without throwing everything out in on shot. Because people hate nothing more than a sequel that does nothing to add to the experience. It’s really a tough tight rope to navigate, I don’t envy developers in that regard.

Yes more movie reviews please. I found you through your Kingsman review and now I look forward to all your vids. Not enough youtubers do both movies & games. Sorry to hear about Tasha. I'm sure you and your gf will give her the love and fun she needs before her last days. That is all you can do.

I have a feeling you’re gonna have A Way Out in the Best category!

Can't believe you're not at 100k subs yet. I share your shit and steal your jokes, on the daily lately

I really don't think leaving RDR2 off the list was very fair. I am not saying you have to like it, but the way you talked in the video was more objective and made it sound like you were judging the game not based on personal opinion. To put it in perspective that is like me saying I don't think God of War should have been on this list because I personally don't like third person games. Still I loved the video and am a huge fan of your channel

Just found this channel, subbed. Sorry to hear about your dog, man.

For me Top 3 best Red dead God of war Spiderman Top 3 worst Fallout 76 Assassins creed odyssey Just cause 4

The biggest problem I have with the Just Cause series is that the gameplay is fun, but it where’s off quickly. It just becomes a boring slog.

I personally like BF5. I don't really care much for the war stories but i can get into the multiplayer.

Sunny taters!! I have been having so much fun with BF5 even though it is a mess

Nice review and happy new year. Hope you get to treat your dog soon.

I love Celeste. But jeeeeeesssusssss the voices annoy me so much. I get they were trying to do the Banjo Kazooie, but god it's so annoying lol. Anywho, great reviews dude! I agree with you a lot on the God of War part, about how it just had these story beats that didn't make sense, or felt artificially padded.

You have potential to be best game reviewer on youtube

BFV has improved a lot now, especially with the pacific expansion

Great video Renn. Yeah I'd be down for any type of review on this channel. Go crazy, ya shyster!

I love when my favorite little shyster in the whole world drops a new video.

8:00 the honesty and insight is just lovely man. And a nice insight, cus sometimes i already wondered about that. These ytubers that show off such stuff day 1 arent the brightest by themselfes very often.

I can't believe that this video is one year old if feels like yesterday

Great video as usual sorry to hear about your dog :-(

Renn: I genuinely enjoyed Just Cause side missions. Also Renn: why go through the effort to do side missions? I mean seriously who enjoys these?

The intro of Arthur harassing town folks cracked me up

'Shyster' and 'Stupid idiot'. Was Call of Cthulu written by Chris Jericho?

The thing is with Spider-Man’s combat and swinging, it is simplistic and easy, but you can *make* It fun and challenging by doing things that you usually wouldn’t

I SPENT HOURS DOING SATELLITE MISSIONS AND ALL U HAD TO DO WAS GO FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!!! *a s c e n d e d*

I’m what u call a battlefield fanboy. I’ve probably played all battlefield games and yet i didn’t see the flaws of bfv until you pointed them out. I’m so used to dice and EA’s bullshit that i don’t even notice them anymore. All the bugs and net code issusies you pointed out have been in the franchise for i don’t even know how long. I’m starting to get real tired of dice and EA not fixing the bugs and not caring about their gamers. Thank you for showing how trash bfv is.

I don't relate to what your feelings on God of War, but i can see how they came about, and i agree with your points.

Love your vids btw

I know this is kinda stupid but... i didnt actually play god of war and only watched a playthrough, but still, i thought the best part of the game was the character interaction. I know i didnt play it but the characters were great.

I like Battlefield 1 much more than Battlefield 5, even the Pacific theater doesn’t do anything, I like the Battlefield 1 operations more and I like to defend, defending in Battlefield 5 isn’t fun

Our family had a dog for about 15 years when I was in elementary school that passed away from cancerous tumors (and another diabetic dog that eventually passed from a tumor). It's a really hard thing to go through, especially when your lil boy starts showing bad effects of it. I know you said you don't want any sympathy, & that's not what this is. I just know it's always a difficult time period for anyone. Hope at the very least you get to enjoy your dog while you still can Renn. Can't wait for your movie video. seen Hereditary at your #1 spot so hopefully it's that. It was definitely my favorite horror movie of this year & it's been a pretty good year for horror. Best of luck to you, God of Games. lol

They should go the bad company route with a new game. Good story, open maps with high destructibility! Once can dream.

Oh poor puppy. It deserves the best schmackos

The just case tornados actually just stay in one place in the map.

Just cause 4 would have been a just cause 3 DLC

You rated some random side scroller more than Red Dead Redemption... Jesus.

WOW! You’re the first person I’ve heard say Celeste is the best game of the year. I absolutely loved it and I 100% it 3 times already. I hope this 2019 is great for you and your channel!

CELESTE IS FREE RIGHT NOW FOR XBOX LIVE GOLD MEMBERS!! Wish you would have mentioned that just Incase.

2:19 Jesus Christ I did not expect such a savage joke out of nowhere lmao

The snake couldn't rap around thor's legs, thor is around kratos size as we see at the end of the game, and the snake is a giant. I do agree with a few of his other points abiut the game though. And he pronounced atreus very strangely...

I love you god of war but red dead 2 is the game of the generation

"like my dog or a kid from Auschwitz" lmao

Just cause 4 could use a modding community.

What about smash ultimate that is definitely my number 1 game.

I love that you can dislike a game but still be respectful about it and I also love you actually criticize games even when you enjoy them. The thing I love most though is that YOU DONT SUGER COAT STUFF.

Yes please do make more movie reviews

Bad Company Two was definitly the best one. I used to snipe across the map with shotgun slugs. As the rushing team on Valparaiso, wed always throw all our c4 on the quad and ride it down the hill off the ramp, jump off, and let it ram into the building below totally blowing it up. beautiful game

You used the Boy as a shield the entire game, didn't you? 🤣🤣🤣

sooooo... it's minute 2:50 and we already had auschwitz kid joke and bill cosby joke ... hmmmm.. me a well balanced human being be like; let's keep watching XS

I personally love battlefield 5. All it had to do for me was be better than battlefield 1. I am not a huge fan of battlefield I have only played 4, 1, and 5, but this is my favorite of them. I agree the campaigns are awful but I only play for multiplayer. You are right there is not a lot of content and I am not going to defend the "free" dlc model. The gunplay feels good with less recoil and spread from battlefield 1, it is no where near as spammy as Battlefield 1, the loading times were very short for me where in battlefield 1 it took 10 minutes and the game would break before I could join. The maps are not special, neither is customization, but I can play this game in bursts like other battlefields. For me it is just casual fun to play. I respect your opinion though Edit: I have had none of those problems that you had

Oh man.... I just lost my girl last year to Hip Dysplasia. So sorry to hear bout your pup, man. If you were as close to yours as I was to my girl then trust me when I say I know how you feel... I had to watch her slowly deteriorate until finally she couldn't walk, then had to make the hardest decision I ever made.

I would like to see more movie reviews as well.

I'm surprised MGS survive wasn't on this list

1. Red dead 2 2 . Celeste 3. God of war

Not cool dude, I've spent years in therapy trying to get over "The boy in striped pajamas", now I'm back to being curled on the floor in the fetus position and crying.

I would cream if Renn with 2 n's did something for Into The Spider-verse

@6:18 one of the devs played Superman 64 and said "ya know what would be fun..."

Great video friend, keep doing God's work.

your a fucking beast for putting celeste at #1 best love you ren

Glad I'm not the only one tired of super fucking easy games. I don't want ball bustingly hardcore or anything, but I have to play every game on Hard the first time these days otherwise I'll stroll through it in a couple hours. Enter The Gungeon has been a great challenge, and thanks for making the vid on it otherwise it would've flown way below my radar.

I can’t wait to say that I found renn before he hits 1 mil subs.

Can you please do movie reviews rent?

I never enjoyed celeste. I mean as a person who was born in 2003, Minecraft was the best game of my childhood along with tf2. I never had a soft spot for 2d pixelated side scrollers with no voice acting and jump mechanics. Personally RDR2 in 2018 was the best game i have ever played, technically, which you did mention. I 100% it and played the story twice. It has the best writing in any video game i have ever played. But it does have bad mission design, which is fine its a wild west game, i didnt have a problem with it. Anyways good video.

Ah, you liked Upgrade too. Glad to see it's getting some love.

Awesome video bro 👍 👍 👍

Gotta watch it at 1.5x speed to actually understand your emotions.

How's the ray tracing in BF5 though?

YES! You put gungeon on there, was hoping you wouldn't miss it.

Thanks for amazing vid renn

I nearly missed this because you uploaded it with the shitty premiere feature meaning when it actually came out it didn't go up my subscriptions so, mechanically, when I look at my subscriptions I think videos that are behind thumbnails I've already seen, I've already watched. That really doesn't read well but just don't use premiere

Can you make a review of the Prince of Persia franchise?

God of War is th 3rd best game of the year Meanwhile: shits on it for 10 minutes

23:05 *HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!*

Funny thing: I actually kind of liked this game when I played it, though now that I remember, it was pretty tedious, so idk

Red Dead online was a flop

I wish you had talked about how bad the assist mode of celeste is but, any way nice video. Btw: Gow is not good, retro ones are better. And the fc 5 vid, well, or people realized that the game wasn't good to begin with, they buyed the season pass or the fanbase died.

Vro first the 9/11 intro then the Auschwitz joke and then BAM the Cosby joke. Mans is out here.

If there's one thing I learned from all this, it's that you love little kids.

Renn, why are you so good at games?

Sorry to hear about the dog mate

On my cake day! Thank you oh gracious one

9:09 -- this is straight up FALSE. Go watch GBG (GameBreakerGod) play this game. The amount of depth in this game's combat outweighs the previous GoW games.

I’m excited for yet another list of God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Spider-man! Please include English Major “Smart” language to make it sound good. Lol jk

To be fair the God of War selection is a bit... nitpicky. But otherwise good video.

Hey mom, look! It’s our favorite little boy in the whole world! Renn with two Ns

Tell me please, is there anything in your life you enjoy completely ??

Make a video of your top 100 games

Movie reviews would be great

I tried playing call of Cthulhu a couple of months ago and it sucks ass I got stuck in the village for 3 hours looking for a way into the mansion and had to look up a guide for what to do. I won’t lie though, I was really interested in the concept and wanted to know where the story went so I kept playing until eventually I just gave up near the end due to its repulsive gameplay.
