Yahtzee, did you have some affiliation with the creators fo Spiritfarer... you seemed to say it was a fairly decent game yet it so repetitive just doing the same old bollox over and over... and overrrrrr. The game was pretty shit 👍

Wait, what game?

please review Omori. It needs more attention. I think it's be best indie game, or rather the best expeirence and emotional pay off, since undertale.

@@scunny I guess it's something that just appealed to him. I loved Spiritfarer too, it really hit some amazing story beats, and the gameplay loop is basically how life is as a terminal-care nurse. Also Yahtzee literally got paid for Watch Dogs Legion and still didn't go easy on it lol

I don't WANT anyone tied up in a shed while another character, having decided they want something more than bugsnax, is force-feeding them and then cutting off the bits. I'm just surprised it never happened.

"That's bait."

Not only that, but Super Meat Boy was renowned for its tight controls and smart level design. The sequel is an auto-runner with procedurally generated levels.

🎵Let's all laugh to an industry that never learns anything, teeheehee🎵

@Jaspertime it gets really awkward when you get the same platform section almost 10 seconds later or at the start of the next level but slightly modified.

@@Jaspertine The weirdest thing is that if you stopped the auto-running, and put the level-chunks together in order, it'd actually be quite good. But right now, it's not. (I tried it.)

look up how to spell the man's name

Not that Fraggle Rock was any less terrifying without the influence of a famous horror writer...

@@LordSnoodles damn, I guessed 1 letter incorrectly, I should probably read the dictionary backwards while I’m at it?

@@LordSnoodles *Look* up how to use punctuation and capitalization if you are going to correct others first. Secondly, if you truly care about grammar, you should probably clarify "correctly". *As he did technically spell the man's name,* just incorrectly. Your sentence structure isn't quite right either. It should look something like "You should look up how to spell his name correctly." or alternatively, "You should look up how to correctly spell that man's name.". Unless, you know, it's dumb to care that much about spelling and grammar in an internet comment. 🤷‍♀️

@@ThrottleKitty This is an entirely genuine question: would it be "look up how"? Or should it be "look up the way to spell his name"? Does it matter which you choose (in terms of pedantic grammar rules, not in terms of the grand scheme of life)?

It's the Willy Wonka blueberry scene, Banjo Tooie's Humba Wumba, Pokemon's Sabrina episodes, Digimon Season 3's fusion scenes, also Digimon Season 3's anthropomorphic fox-thing, you know what, Digimon Season 3 in general, Nicolodian's live action slime scenes, and every episode of Totally Spies, mixed together and baked in a Muppet crust, but not the wholesome Muppets who could be seen on Seseme Street, the weirder episodes where Kermit and Mrs. Piggy's sexual tension was so thick you could hold a drink on it, and something about Gonzo was just off. And then the ants started crawling on that pie, and that's why we call it Bugsnax. Don't suppose I missed any crucial ingredients of the filling?

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 You forgot accidentally watching The Shining alone late at night when you're like, 7, thinking because the main character is a little boy not much older than you, surely it can't be too scary for you.

Kain Tugwell-Fisher - There’s nothing like a gay sexual awakening brought on by watching the fusion scenes in Digimon season 3 when you’re 10 and realizing that you just want the camera to zoom out a bit... just a bit more maybe... 😳

If you don’t complete all of a characters side quest lines in the story, during the escape at the end where the Bugsnax are attacking you, the characters who you didn’t complete will eat Bugsnax that get too close, and if they eat too many, they turn completely into snacks and fall to pieces, their bodies disintegrating and them lamenting of their failure

@@Onyxs ew that sound disgusting

@@user-oe8tx9co1p even worse, bugsnax have evolved to assimilate other organisms through repeated consumption, when you disintegrate you become the material needed to make more bugsnax

@@auralunaprettycure "Piggy" would be called "Bunger"

Is this supposed to be a Sao abridged reference

It is fun at the start but when you get to the end it gets really dark...

@@Meenie25 really dark is an understatement

@@Meenie25 yeah , whatever you do make sure you complete all side quests. Unless of course, you enjoy watching your friends crumble alive while in their final hours praising bugsnax

Except with less "horror" and more "melancholy". At least until the VERY very end.

its not quite as on the nose gorey and dark as Don't Hug Me I'm scared, but it does seem to have a similar "subverted kid's show" style. Just instead of horrible murder and gore and horror, it's depression and failure to suceed and filling your empty whole with something ultimately not good for you. also body horror.

What’s the difference between a truckload of bowling balls and a truckload of dead babies? You can’t unload the bowling balls with a pitchfork.

The bugsnax are- *gets shot*

@@CyberLink70 *SPOILERS* (seriously, if you don't want spoilers, play through the game for yourself): The bugs are actually parasites that take the shape of food, then if eaten function as part of your body. If your whole body is filled with them, it falls apart and becomes a bunch of bugsnax, that's how they multiply. In fact, the entire island is made of bugsnax. They also trigger sadness and other bad feelings in the carrier, that's why all the grumpuses have some psychological issues. Near the ending, the game actually turns more towards horror where all the bugs swarm you trying to get in your throat

@@phoebeaurum7113 Yahtzee isn't the sort of person who follows gaming trends, he just reviews video games either requested by fans or of his own interests. In my opinion I think FNF is overrated. It's a decent game but the fandom and "audience" give it too much credit, it's not very innovative to combine PaRapper the Rapper with Just Dance, and it isn't going to instigate a Flash game renaissance either, because people only care about FNF. Still, it's great for hand eye coordination training (even if it's heavily dependent on muscle memory).

You can't just *buy* a ps5

@@landotucker I got you fam But you know what I mean Let me rephrase that...the universe should've put a PS5 in Yahtzee's possession by now just so he can play Demon's Souls. It would be ok even if the universe took the PS5 away once he was done playing.

Honestly begs the question if the review would be relevant. Kinda like his questionably valuable VR reviews. If it is so hard to get a PS5 that the Escapist can't get even one, how many people are actually going to use Yahtzee's opinion on demon souls? "Well this thing you can't get on a system you can't buy was really good. Hope you save your pennies till next year when you might be able to get one... maybe..."

@@elijahsmith4761 we don’t even play 90% of the games he reviews, it’s just entertaining to hear him talk about them

I'm shocked whenever I hear or see anyone bring up anything Jhonen's done outside of Zim, but I guess the guy was more of an influence at that time than I thought.

I'll bet my Nintendo PiiU

Probably. YoShitsune Shits all over persona 4 s balance especially when u get the most Overpowered move in the game by far.

P5 as well. God of control? *laughs in hassou tobi*

Nah. Statboosters. Stack statboosters on one persona, and the game crumbles. The game, much like Pokemon, just disintegrates if you powerlevel your Charizard. Find a Persona with reasonable base weaknesses, then go ham, and the basic difficulty just can't keep up.

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Nahh i (For some reason ) found soooo many golden hands that i got to the FINAL DUNGEON AT LEVEL 99 ON ALL MY MAIN PARTY!!!! Without any grinding With everyone maxed out and Rise breaking the game AND YoShitsune (Ok yeah i did get some stat boosts too) and Not even the reaper was a challenge with Hassou tobi... The final boss was still long ish and hard tho . I was on max difficulty btw.

Bring out your dead!

That's a lie all levels are hand crafted. Game is hard that's the point. And sprinting makes it harder. CRY MORE FANBOYS.

@@JamesBond007Nejc OK so you're calling US fanboys when YOU'RE the one defending the game with flawed arguments... Sounds like fanboy behaviour to me.

Fanboys of OG game. Learn to read. Game is way better than that OG shit. Original game looks like cheap asset flip, and autorunners are genre SO HATE MORE.

What exactly is so bad about that? It's pretty fun tbh.

Yeah him saying that he does't know whether or not it's a kids game is enough proof.

Probably not. There are lots of games he reviews that he doesn't finish because he might not have the time or desire to do so. And if your counter is "but you need to finish the game to truly understand it and enjoy it" that's bad game design.

Ah, I remember borrowing my friend's copy of...whatever the "whole series in one book" thing was called. Must've read that thing a hundred times before I gave it back. I should see if I can find one for myself, at some point.

How the are you guys surprised by this ITS BEEN ADVERTISED AS SO FOR 6 YEARS...

It is hand-crafted tho. Each level is a succession of hand-crafted chunk (among about 7000 chunks if I recall correctly). The only random aspect is which chunk get picked.

@@thepixeler1869 The thing is, other that having seen it on a list of upcoming games I had no clue of what it was. I liked the first one but I didn't keep up with it, this video is the first info I heard about this particular game.

@@jijigri9224 That's kind of how a lot of procedurally generated games (esp. platformers) work. Not every pixel is random, there are certain configurations the game chooses and the algorithm usually has certain rules (like, in Spelunky there's always got to be a clear path to the exit, etc.)

Yeah i won't spoil but ALLMOTHER it gets dark....

You'd be surprised what kids can handle. but yes, it does push the limit quite a bit

@@tnarwhal I'm not saying kids can't play it, I let my niece play it and she was having a blast. But I would not call it a kid's game.

Things like this are important. "Difficulty" that just inflates enemy stats, while decreasing grinding rewards doesn't make the game harder, just more time consuming, while doing things like specifically raising enemy offences actually does change the way you have to approach things.

Kain Tugwell-Fisher I feel like difficulty can be pretty difficult to balance correctly, especially in turnbased rpgs. How do you make a boss challenging without incentivizing the player to simply over grind? How do you create higher difficulty settings without just raising an enemy’s stats or levels? I think creating custom difficulties is a decent enough solution.

As someone who played P4 on the PS2, I was surprised by how much Golden nerfed the difficulty In replaying it now, I don't even have the last person unlocked and have twice the level, money, Slinks, and stats that I had at the same point in the old version. I guess people really didn't like waiting for new game + to get everything so they buffed progress?

And that ending...

They were made by the same developer! So.... yes.

Tmu Obsidian...which might explain some of the FNV wild wasteland and weirder POE humor

I don't take issue with it being an auto runner, but it certainly had big shoes to fill as the Super Meat Boy sequel, and I would have liked it a lot more if not for that. I do still like the game overall, and have fun playing it, but I don't think it has the same level of charm of the original in terms of design or atmosphere.

The ending does have a better effect if it just catches you off-guard tho. At any rate I'm surprised he liked it, I think he's beginning to turn into a dad, since the core gameplay is...well...a hunting sim, like those dad games he keeps mentioning.

@@chukyuniqul doesnt he have a kid?

@@gio_el_santo0099 He does, but that only cements my point. Back in the day he would have been all "oh this is boring and only for dads who like boring but realistic games to play with their kiddywinks" and now he's not that negative towards it. It's kinda neat to see him change throughout the years, it really slips through his character.

I agree he might just not have wanted to spoil it
