Refresh the page and select a different player in the top-left corner before starting the video.

The quest for getting the fifth comment...? I don't think I have that one yet.
I was waiting for this QL, though! I'll save it for when I grab something to eat...

No no, the quest for getting first. I went to this video saying it had 0 comments, but when it loaded there were three comments already, hence my statement.

Non-subscribers get the youtube player because they get hits and ad revenue, while saving bandwidth that way.

Why is this in 360p only? Can't we get a 480p at least?

This actually seems really disappointing. I don't see great improvement over Stronghold 2. Wall building looks streamlined, but somehow more restricting. Everything else looks largely the same. I'm probably better off just playing more Crusader. Thanks for the Quick Look though.

The Wolf's troops are attacking!

The stockpile is full, my lord.

Not enough wood.

The people hold you in great esteem, my liege.

Mooooorning, your lordship.

This game kind of looks like it's kind of bad sort of.

That's a shame.

Still not fond of this 360p nonsense...

The video quality is horrible. Especially with PC games with small units or details (like this) it is dreadful to deal with.

Weekend Quick Look, what a lovely treat!

This reminds me a lot of my experience with Anno 1404, except this seems to have a lot of problems whereas Anno didn't. Still both are very hard, slow games.

I like the youtube player, it seems to be slightly faster and more stable. Not that the other player is bad.

I guess if you wait some hours 720 will be available, Youtube is really slow at making the higher resolutions available.

They aren't uploading the youtube videos in anything other than 360p.
