Spider-man for sure. The first one was the only exclusive game I absolutely loved and was my game of the year. I hope it is more fun and varied than the DLC for the original.

lmfao wtf is even going on?

Almost 5% if that now. I still watch/listen to a podcast here and there, and then I’ll watch a video sometimes. I really want to watch them, but none of what they do appeals to me anymore unfortunately.

I’m more of a fan of the Patreon (pay if you want but can still watch everything) model, rather than the pay-or-you-can’t-watch model. It’s not a big deal or difference but it just rubs me the wrong way so I don’t watch or pay on principle.

With that said, I’d still watch if they had good video ideas. Unfortunately, most of those ideas left when dan left. Now it’s just boring let’s play stuff “with a twist” that is available through other channels on YouTube for free.

Mario and Zelda were not as good as previous games in their series. The switch is fine but I wouldn’t say it’s a must buy. The library is ok, but nothing is really a must play. I would sooner recommend someone buy or stick with their PS4/XB1/PC and wait until better games are released.

"Prepare to Die" (play off of the strengths of the game in your marketing)

I struggle with my enjoyment of video games on a daily basis. I, too, have used games for escapism. I think they are particularly helpful when a day just did not go my way, but I also feel that they simply help remove the responsibility of being able to cope with days like that. Video games are fun, for sure, and I greatly appreciate the ones that tell a good story and leave a lasting impression on me, but those games are few and far between. Usually they are monotonous and repetitive. I love them to death, but I cannot deny that. You do the same things over and over and rarely take away anything with any lasting impact in your daily life.

This is why I struggle to appreciate video games now. They have played a very big role in my life, but I am not sure they have played a positive one. Surely they have kept me from making some major mistakes, but they have kept me from living my life to the fullest. I don't think I'll ever be on the side that says that they are a waste of time, because if they are then many things start to fall into that category (watching sports?). I do, however, see their major problem - they do not offer a lot for someone seeking anything besides wasting time away. If someone wants to do that, I have no issues with that. I love how social they can be, and they are great for social settings. I think there are plenty of other ways to spend time socially, or individually, that are more rewarding, though.

Again, I do not judge anyone for playing them. I love you all and hope video games continue to offer endless entertainment. I am just struggling to keep the fire alive for video games in my own life... sadly.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’m glad this hasn’t turned into a bash fest because it was never intended to be that. I didn’t like the game very much and wanted to get a consensus in hopes to see why people did and did not enjoy the game.

I, honestly, think it’s the lack of focus in these open world type games. The repetitive side missions/objectives that are reused for moons in every stage got tedious. I don’t think the level design was very good. Ultimately I just like focus. Show me the good stuff early on and don’t make me wait or see stuff that isn’t so good along the way.

I had the same issue with Zelda. Don’t make me deal with inventory stuff or find 100+ shrines that have simple puzzles in them to try and circumvent the annoying stamina system. I digress.

I loved windwaker and I loved almost all other mario games. These ones just did not click for me. *shrug*

I don’t for some reason and I want to know why. I’m thinking it’s just cause I don’t particularly care for 3D platformers, but I beat the original banjo kazooie recently as well as paychonauts and sunshine. I liked them. Why isn’t this clicking? Anyone else not particularly enjoy this game? Maybe it’s the live design? Thanks!

@rahf: that got super annoying omfg!

@htr10: yeah I’m not sure games have ever done that for me either. I’ve never played dear Esther. I’ll check it out.
