You will never have a year of releases that gives you the “ps1 and ps2” era feeling. That was a time in your life that exposed you to game experiences you had never experienced before then. Gaming will never give you that feeling again because you’re getting old. It’s depressing I know but I’m willing to bet, if this was the generation you grew up in and there was no social media like back then, you would have very different views on modern gaming. I’m sure 10 year olds today will have nostalgia for Fortnite and five nights at Freddie’s the same way. Getting old blows.

If I had a nickel for every time someone has typed this exact comment...obviously you haven't watched any of my retrospectives. Half of them are reviews of games I'd never played before, and in the case of Thief 2 and Deus Ex, are now some of my favorite games. Even before I started this channel, Xenogears, the classic Resident Evils, and Metroid Prime are just a few games I played over a decade after their release that I loved. Older games are more innovative, more fun, and best of all, have "SOVL". They don't shove modern politics down your throat, no, not even MGS. Maybe I'll make a video about it someday but MGS2 actually predicted the cancer that is the internet today, and certainly wasn't praising it.

Women in war is a joke. We've known this for literally THOUSANDS of years. Their bodies produce higher cortisol levels and have a higher flight rather fight response when adrenaline kicks in. It's ingrained Evolutionary to survive and continue reproducing to maintain the species. That's setting aside they don't even meet basic PT standards, have lower marksmanship scores in basic training, and can't carry full weight rucksacks or carry an injured comrade off the battlefield. Vanguard is a joke. And that's setting aside that half the guns in it didn't even exist and weren't even produced until long after ww2. And NO MORE RED DOT SIGHTS. THEY DIDNT EXIST EXCEPT ON AIRPLANES. Not even Vietnam had red dot sights except on some sniper rifles.

I do agree that Maximas Matanzas was the worst part of the game, but I think he went a little overboard with the critique. Like, trans characters aren’t allowed to exist in games without it being cringe? I didn’t get to El Tigre’s part when I was playing so I neither agree or disagree with that. I don’t think wokeness is a particularly bad thing. It’s good to have equality in media.

I will admit there is some media that is more pro LGBT (which isn’t bad) and some that is anti LGBT. Children should be exposed to this media as long as there is no bias.

I will give an honorable mention to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Expectations for that game were quite low after Square Enix's botched Avenger's game, but what we got was actually a very enjoyable experience. It does not really do anything groundbreaking or revolutionary, but it delivers a new take on the Guardians while still managing to retain some of that MCU charm through their dysfunctional teamwork and personalities. The story was really good, to the point where you actually felt like you were watching (and controlling) a superhero TV series or movie. I believe it got best video game story of the year, if I recall correctly. The story did have some cliches, predictable moments, and points where it felt odd, slow, and even hard to follow, but overall I became invested in it more than I do most games. The gameplay is pretty standard and easy to learn to the point where combat can be relatively easy from start to finish, same for the "puzzle" moments. At first I was a bit disappointed when I learned you could only play as Star-Lord, but I think that this is what largely helped Square Enix avoid a repeat of the Avengers game. In the end I think this decision worked wonders. I have mixed feelings on the voice acting at times. If you get annoyed by overexaggerated voice acting, then you might find some of the characters a bit annoying - namely Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, and Gamora. Not a complete turn-away by any means though. Oh, and this game has TONS of dialogue. A lot of it is easily missed especially if you walk forward too far and trigger a new set of dialogue, silencing the one that was already playing. I think that was my biggest pet peeve with the game. The cherry on top, and probably my biggest draw to the game being a huge 80s metalhead, was the soundtrack. Most of them are tracks you have heard in many other games such as GTA, Saints Row, etc. but they work so well here. If nothing else, I'd say that makes it worth it. I am not even a real big Marvel/comic/superhero fan these days, but this game made me care a bit more about the lore, setting, and such. So... yeah. Essay over.

I’ll be honest, i started playing that the other day because it released on gamepass, I don’t personally understand the hype. We’ve watched guardians of the galaxy 10 times already, then we watched the second one. This game doesn’t do anything groundbreaking, sure it’s a solid game, but i think it came out at the wrong time. I didn’t even finish the first mission, it’s just a shoot and smash, walk here, jump, shoot and smash. I found it really dull.

Sad fact is that now gaming is so mainstream, a large majority of gamers are casuals who think that if a game has good graphics and is advertized on television then it's worth buying. Real gamers, non-casual gamers, know that graphics and fancy CGI trailers don't mean shit because a CGI trailer isn't gameplay footage and good graphics can NOT make a bad game good, but a good game CAN make bad graphics not matter. Anyway fuck AAA games and the people who keep buying them. We used to get good games. Now we mostly just get the gaming equivalent of a Rob Schneider "comedy" 10 times a year. A lowest common denominator pile of garbage designed to wring as much money from casual gamers as possible... and it's usually literally the same identical game as the last one in the franchise but with a couple of new maps/skins.
