We may have to cancel George

the _what??_

@@LordHonkInc watch his Japan travel video. Then you'll be initiated

man, 2020 really is the worst year.

@@LordHonkInc - when george visited japan he recorded a sign, an advertisement in front of a noodle shop. It was an animatronic bowl of noodles. The noodles where ropes hanging from floating chop sticks, and it was animated by driving a rod up and down, which lifted the chop sticks, which lifted the noodles. It performed this loop quite quickly. George liked this sign, so he recorded it on video and put it into B-roll for his japan video. Then he placed it in another video, and another still... was it a meme before or after he placed it in more than one video? We may never know - all I know is ghost noodles are a thing in japan.

I hope this is canon

And the channels name is like "UltraQuickScope" but in Chinese.

I can't wait for people to find this video and be like "Wow, they were already saying this even then! They predicted the future!"

@@arsnakehert I fought it for this review and now I'll still never play it. Stupid ubisoft wont let me play unless I create a ubisoft account well F*** you ubisoft just let me play the game I paid for

What if it's the cobbled together tale Orpheus made from Zags lies?

AHAHA I agree with you bro

you can play it for a month by subscribing to uplay+, it’s only 15 bucks

Or free on epic games store

More like pirate because it's a Ubisoft game.

Tee Hee! 😹 You know it! ;)

AKA A great game.

I mean, with that ending where he says "kids will love it most" then yeah, that makes sense

I don't think so because of how insufferable the writing is. The voices are so obnoxious. As people get older, they will dislike it more and people with a critical eye will dislike how easy and dumb the combat was. Also it's title is stupid. No popular game has a shitty title like this one.

@@normalguycap I don't think a title really changes how people view a game that much but go off I guess

You can think that, but it's not correct. It's basic marketing. No piece of media with a confusing and nonsensical title attains much success. Not only from the title obviously, but it significantly helps in terms of talking about it, finding it, remembering it. George has a video about metacritic stuff, no game on there has a ridiculous title, if you wanted to measure it that way.

The first weeb!!

He is?

@@yultimona he was a japanese lover who changed his name to japanese and wore japanese clothing

Yes but technically no?, Who knows, in japan in that age how can I say it... Foreign names weren't useful, those weren't accepted for people outside of the diplomats, so, he might change his name due to facilitate his life there. In regards of his last name if he married a high class woman, someone who's last name meant something he might be forced to accept her's :/. Still really weeb, even more funny if it was actually involuntary XD.

@@walterusalbus The japanese clothing is fine in my book though, its not like japanese or asian are "western lovers" just cause they are using suits and jeans... Well some are but... Nevermind.

If only George started an OnlyFans to make up for that

Maybe he could bundle in some of those George socks for when you need a little solo time.

@@note4note804 GeorgeThighHighs or we riot

@@note4note804 Why is gorge socks a common joke I see in the comments? Where does it come from?

@@yuushanaruto9676 Try searching for it on UKposts. Its better than just being explained anyways.

Would have been perfect for a Greek game

you got it dude!

The new Beyond Good & Evil...

Absolutely a hidden gem

It's a BotW clone By Ubisoft. How the fuck is that a hidden gem?

*looks at the rock* "I never asked for this"

Makes sense because children still feel their youthful curiosity, while adults just want to feel that they accomplished something.

@@Gnidel Kids have all day to waste on games, adults are exhausted from work and stress and just need to zone out for 15 god damn minutes

@@veronicamcghie5238 I have MORE free time as an adult, without homework and parents demanding me to pause an online game.

@@Gnidel Maybe you do but most adults don't.

@@Gnidel do you work, cook, clean?

Great game!

That was a brilliant game

i tried to get a switch, but black friday has just decided that it would be better to put alexa on sale to take the 1 percent of privacy amazon doesnt know about me. So this game seems perfect for me.

1 ubipasta per decade should be enough

No, he’s right. I’ll start enjoying things again 😞

Not a big fan of equating immaturity to having more informed standards

@@elderscrollsmoddingtech7252 I saw it more as letting informed standards ruin fun, than having the standards themselves be equated to immaturity.

@@SkribbleNL but like, it's not like I invite the standards in like it's a vampire, the standards are there and as much a part of me as my opinions on anything else

@@elderscrollsmoddingtech7252 I think the joke is that we're less mature than children rather than less informed than them

There's this game called Genshin Impact

It really bums me out how many people fundamentally misunderstand what made BOTW such a fantastic and successful game. It was the exploration. People praise the movement? Yeah, that was a tool for exploration. People praise the emergent gameplay? Yeah, part of exploration was exploring the game's interactions. People hate on equipment durability? Yeah, bub, making everything temporary or consumable is one way the game is able to keep rewarding you for exploration. I know a lot of the Zelda fans didn't give a crap and just wanted another linear action adventure dungeon crawler, but BOTW was the game that brought so many into the series that would have never cared about a Zelda game otherwise. Like me. The only other Zelda game I like at all is the first one on the NES because of how open ended it is. All the linear adventure games in between that and BOTW are deeply unsatisfying to me and I've never been able to stick with one for more than a few hours before wondering when the heck I'm supposed to start having fun. From how much further BOTW reached than previous Zelda titles I'm pretty sure a whole lot of people feel similarly to me. I'd love to see more games like BOTW from designers that actually understood what made BOTW's reach so great, rather than just emulating its surface presentation. Because wow is Genshin Impact not BOTW, as much as it visually resembles BOTW, and I don't think Fenyx Rising is either. And holy crap I hope Nintendo themselves understands, because I would be so damn happy if the sequel is a game for filthy casuals like me too, who don't give a what about dungeons and mainly just want to explore and engage with a fantastical overworld. And not just something for Zelda fans or linear action adventure fans and nobody else.

@@yosoyunapina I feel like youre really misunderstanding what happens when devs try to tackle their own version of BOTW. Of course these games arent going to be 100% behind the idea of what BOTW was, that being a tool for sandbox elements and exploration. What they did do though, was use it mostly as a foundation to build off of. There's a lot of things you can explore in both Fenyx and Genshin, but instead of being a pure BOTW clone, their goals are entirely different a the end of the day. Fenyx is still a ubisoft game mostly made to pad out time and do some flashy things, while Genshin is still a mobile gacha game made for you to buy the newest and hottest character.

@@popintarts6362 That's honestly been why I've steered clear of Genshin. The game looks amazing from the point of view of being a BotW-style open world that generally lets the player explore and experiment at their whim...but sooner or later it's going to start poking me in the ribs, even if it's in postgame. 'Hey. Hey. If you spend €80 at once, your chance of getting this new twink goes up from 1% to 1.2%'

@@yosoyunapina But what is the basis of exploration? Fundamentally you are expecting the player to observe his surroundings, solve some sort of problem (ideally one of resource management to give the world dynamism), solve a bigger problem(combat or puzzle) and then reward them with either some progression in mechanics (skill tree would be a good example) or storytelling(in any form: environemntal, visual or/ and auditory, like an audio log. BOTW made sure that there was a huge variety of mechanics for the player to sink their teeth in, mostly in the way of great puzzles, progression and survival/ resource management. Immortals does everyone of those steps, except for the first and even that it does encourage the player to atleast look in the direction of an objective. I would still classify that as exploration, as it passes every other part of my fictional system with flying colors. Also yes of course game designers knew what made botw right, you dont make an amazing game by fluke.

Remember when there were so few truly great games that we could actually finish that list and be waiting for others to play? I'm happy to have this problem instead nowadays, but it means I decide to be 'done' with more games sooner (or worry less about experiencing ALL of their content) and don't much bother with many of the things too far down the list that may be 'good and worth playing, but not great' unless they speak to me personally (like the first few even mediocre mech games in about a decade that aren't freemium game design, like Daemon X Machina and Mechwarrior 5).

Oi. Dont kinkshame.

it's literally the last 30 seconds you could just like, close the video earlier?

Even if it was in the middle you can still just skip it....? It’s not a necessary UKposts ad.

Yep. Good to see him getting work. Even if it's not the work he deserves. Honestly, if they only decide to do a new Splinter Cell after it's too late for them to use Ironside, (it might already be) I want them to reboot Sam Fisher w/ Elias. Ignore that he voiced that underling. Though going by Ubi's current approach to writing Tom Clancy games, I don't think they can do justice by any of the first 3 games.

He told EVERYTHING in his vid... Maybe watch it??

@@emulation2369 I did I just want a second opinion

Yeah, I’m having a difficult time getting used to him doing that accent.

Pretty sure it's: "Gods and Monsters was a better name." Apparently that was the title when they announced it at E3 2019

"Gods and Monsters", the previous working title of the game.

Gods and monsters chose a better name. (Gods and monsters was the original title of the game)

I also loved that sentence

Oh so we have Oscar bait and GotY bait? nice

@@butterflyfilms939 I was talking about the "GotY edition" with all icluded.

Eh, microtransactions don't bother me much here. They're all cosmetic and earn able from gameplay. And if none of that is true, then cheat engine never wronged me.

@@MilkyNep Yeah, you can distinct but children? George said it's for children. In my opinion Microtransactions shouldn't be in games for children at all.

If the microtransactions are not only extra and the game is designed around them then they suck, because everyone else has to work to get this shit, and if the grind is not fun at all, then it really feels like work.

Hes also acting like Breath of the Wild's coolest mechanic is a bad thing.

@@fearedjames what weapon durability? That wasn’t a good system at all.

@@fearedjames It was definitely cool in the early game where you improvised and made creative combat choices because you were so underequipped but the durability becomes a annoyance against enemies with high health and inventory space being annoying

@@denzelromero4796 Also reminds you not to have a bond with anything, if you like the look of a certain weapon? Tough shit! Gotta be lucky to find it again and lose it after 10-20 hits. Just a shit system, don't care what anyone says on that.

@@JayTheChocobro Every weapon is exactly where it was before after a bloodmoon, except for the shrines

Horse has the same clunky animations, some weapon/armor models are an Odyssey copy/paste, and the lack of overall originality is not appealing, none of this feels fresh and I can't justify giving this my money and time even if the world looks interesting
