There are so many gaming channels on YouTube that have gone from actually analysing shit and putting the work in, to phoning it in with a generic, "Microtransactions BAD, CDPred GOOD!" stance that borders on neanderthalic.
I honestly think part of the reason some of these shitheads like Witcher 3 so much is they have a "true gamer masterpiece" to hold up like a club and chortle at the shortcomings of other games with.
(Yes, I am a salty Dragon Age: Inquisition fan).

I don't like to use gendered slurs, but man is Daniel Vavra a cunt. The man has an unearned persecution complex to match the POTUS's and he's just as odious on social media.
And he likes Death Wish films and thinks Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a good game. Fucking dope.

Is this the Mafia II/Kingdom Come Guy? If yes I agree. Then again, I expect nothing less from a GamerGater douche-panzer.

The game is rating far better than the usual oppressed crybabies would have you think. But I do have to wonder why Eurogamer spent a solid third of its review whining about the non-existence of people of colour in Medieval Bohemia. The game takes place in a 4 mile by 4 mile square. One could live their entire life in that part of the world and not even know people of colour even existed.
BUT...I was not following the game's development, so I don't know if Vavra was nagged about it first and he lashed out in annoyance or if he dangled it out there like the troll he often acts like. His behaviour suggests that either is likely.
Apparently, the game plays a bit like you are fighting underwater and the save system is screwed up and it seriously needs to be optimized. I'd rather talk about things like that than a developer's shitty politics any day.

I like the guy’s games, despite him being a dumbfuck. The stories in his games are utter shit, though (Kingdom Come is a generic revenge plot with cliched period characters, and Mafia II had corny dialogue and was full of cookie cutter mob movie tropes).
Despite its shortcomings, Kingdom Come really is an enjoyable game for me. Besides, there’s a mod that allows unlimited manual saving and they either have or are working on a patch that fixes the shitty lockpicking mini game.

Confirmation on the modding options. And there were Moors who were traders, but whether they went through Bohemia is rather up in the air. It's a minor thing to pick a fight over. AC- Origins actually did this better, with the running issue of Egyptians vs Greeks and the questions about the Ptolemaic dynasty, but their setting allowed for it.

The entirety of the Seed family in Far Cry 5 are a bunch of hastily put together bores, but Jacob is easily the lamest and most irritating. His entire personality literally revolves around having a hard-on for Social Darwinism and pretty much nothing else. Better characters could be designed by lobotomized dolphins.

I only ever played the first Far Cry. I know they must have gotten better but the first one almost played like a tech demo complete with guards that seemed to have x ray vision and it being a little too easy to die in. It was pretty but bland.
Pretty sure the game "grew the beard" in the third instalment. I had long checked out by that time though.
I've seen some gameplay. It doesn't look bad, but the locals who are not religious nutbar stereotypes seem to be far more interesting and "real" than the Saturday morning caricatures we have for primary villains. You kinda need a good villain to drive the story. There does not seem to be a Saren Arterius or TIM here. Just a bunch of weirdos that failed the application to join the Westboro Baptist Church and got all mad and forgot how to shave as a result.

I believe Far Cry 1 was by the people who later went on to do Crysis, so it's not surprising that one has more of a tech demo feel.

"Hiding from your enemies? That's not a game!"
With every shitty, play-your-way Action-Stealth title, we prove that nameless Konami exec right.

Damage spongey enemies. I'm playing GoW on the hardest difficulty, and even the basic enemies can withstand so much punishment. Makes Kratos feel like Phil Mitchell getting into a dustup and not someone who kills gods.

Makes Kratos feel like Phil Mitchell getting into a dustup and not someone who kills gods. A very longstanding complaint of mine concerning higher difficulties. Devs won't make them smarter, they just make them tougher and that makes every fight a slog rather than something to be enjoyed. This is often coupled with making the PC so weak and flimsy that these hopped up enemies can finger flick them away.

There wasn't a complete ripoff of the "Baseline" scene from Blade Runner II in Detroit, and I feel a little disappointed.

When you're an introverted, depressed 20-something gamer but already know you don't care for Dark Souls.
Shit!

What the fuck was up with Prey and the Art Deco?
