Always thought The Act Man was kind of a vanilla video game commentator, but he was pretty amusing in this podcast.

And that intro went in hard.



They talked about Fallout New Vegas, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid and Black Myth Wukong. All of the casual racism when talking about Black Myth Wukong was great too.

Plus they talked about Hollow Earth, why Communism works, and Adolf Hitler's Struggle book. All quality content.

Not sure if this is going to make me actually be arsed in checking out the channel but, the podcast was very funny and I didn't know Act Man was so interesting.

Unsub podcast is great and has many great guests on

It's weird how when facescans are made of attractive women, they are tweaked into abominations, but whenever they facescan Debra Wilson it's 100% authentic...

Wow I didn't realize she was sixty three years old but I do agree it's unfortunate lonely gamer boys can't coom to barely legal senior citizens.

I can only imagine the difficulties people like you had to wanking to Count Dooku and Aunt Beru.

Tl;Dw
-The Glow is a letdown because it's far too easy to survive in there and there's nothing of value there anyways
-Combat sucks ass, every area is absolutely stuffed with enemies and the game doesn't realize that combat is a means to an end. Instead Fallout 4 acts like combat IS the end.
-Areas like the Dunwich Borers are a letdown compared to the original area in FO3
-The dialogue system was added expense, time, and effort for a system WORSE than earlier games
-Giving the player a voice is nonsensical when you don't play as a predefined character, except now that they're voiced and have default names, FO4 is technically not much of an RPG anymore, whoops?
-Settlement system gets in the way of the main quest
-Building the teleporter feels like a joke, something that is supposed to be this herculean task can be done in about 20 seconds
-Bottom third of the map has basically no quests or anything to do
-UI is complete shit, can't even sort items by type within a category, only alphabetical order
-Misc-items category is a joke because it quickly fills with far too much shit, can't even read notes without storing them in your inventory
-Story is dogshit, something as simple as Kellog's secret room makes no geometric sense. Dogmeat being part of the main story is dumb.
-Story introduces way too much Fallout 'memberberries far too early
-Can't reason with Kellog, combat is the only option despite him being a reasonable man who's boss is literally your relative
-Railroad are all mega-retards
-Game has too much focus on synths and if they're human or not. THIS WAS SOLVED IN THE PREVIOUS GAME IN A SIDEQUEST.
-Institute is retarded and their motivations is never explained or makes sense
-Player character's decisions has functionally no impact on the endings of the game
-The endings are all nonsensical because they involve killing countless innocent synths and institute nobodies
-Father thinks that synths are mindless soulless things, yet also demands you love the synth 'son' he made
-BUGS, SO MANY BUGS

Yea, its bad.
Too much combat.
Combat is bad
Story is bad
Instead of picking dialog from a long list like gold old games did, you get 1 word hints as to what your dialog would be that might be very misleading.

 

[Zachowon]

I actually like the combat, easier to get the hang of shooting things instead of not being able to hit shit when you aim.

most of all that atuff is opinion

The combat especially always shocks me, people say it's 'way better than the other Bethesda games!'

Yeah, in the same way that smallpox is somewhat better than anthrax. I'd prefer NEITHER.

Fallout 4's combat is a lot SMOOTHER, sure. It's actually fairly up-to-snuff. But let down by some of the most retarded enemy AI to exist, and some of the worst balancing decisions ever.

The framework for a good FPS is there, the skeleton proverbially exists.

But the meat hanging off those bones are rotten, the muscles atrophied, the nerves misfiring...

 

[Vyor]

For once, I agree with Zeno.

 

[ThatZenoGuy]

Bit of a warning, KCD2 is the game where jews call non-jews retarded 'goys'. So the video is a little spicy.

 

[Husky_Khan]

A Video Game Marketing Company called Newzoo recently talked about a survey of reportedly over 73,000 gamers and had some interesting findings they shared at GDC.

Among said revelations include the PC Master Race outnumbers Console Gamers by an estimated 907.5 million to a mere 653.1 million Console Gamers in 2024.

And in regard to the age of the game played...

The data shows that from January 2024 to December 2024, 67% of player hours on PC were spent on a game that was six or more years old. A further 25% of player hours were spent on games that were two to five years old, and the remaining 8% of time was spent on games that are less than two years old.

Of the 67% of the ANCIENT PC Games, these ones were the most prominently played.

• 7.1% were on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive / Counter-Strike 2
• 6.4% were in League of Legends
• 6.2% were in Roblox
• 5.8% were in Dota 2
• 5.4% were in Fortnite

Bruh half those are new games that Zoomers play. No way they are six or more years old.

PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

Feels like Destiny.

Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Super Smash Bros. has joined the Alt Right.

When asked what he thinks the domestic game industry should be doing to keep growing (to keep pace with the booming success seen in countries like China), Sakurai comments, "It's not really my own idea, but as an industry trend, I think Japanese people should keep pursuing the things that Japanese people like."

But... Butt... BUTTT that will only attract Japanese fans you fucking Nazi...questionmark?

However, Sakurai feels that people overseas who love Japanese games aren't looking for this kind of filtered experience, "but rather, I think that they seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games" – hence the opinion that there's no need for Japanese developers to consciously adapt their work for audiences in the US or elsewhere.

He then goes on to further insult his non-Japanese fans by stating that people should think freely and his opinion is only one way of viewing the topic.

Best Ass Creed Shadows review I have seen. Utterly hilarious. his sarcasm is over 9000

 

[Husky_Khan]

Yeah Legacy Killa/Michael had a pretty good spoiler free review of the game.



Overall he said the story was boring, the characters were boring because one was far more fun to play then the other, and that the combat and exploration felt unnecessarily restrictive and there were just a lot of puzzling game design choices made.

The biggest issue for this particular game was the Shinobi was far more fun to play apparently then the Johnny Somali Samurai.

Prime Minister of Japan speaks in front of Japanese parliment about how to deal with Ass Creed Shadows and its flgrant desecration of their culture, religion, and laws.

Western MSM kept on saying its only racist white people pretending to be offended on the japanese's behalf.
well, no, it is the japanese govt. They are pissed. what now?

prime minister notes that game lets you:
> Invulnerable civilians. except the priests tending shrines which you can and do kill
> Lots of invulnerable items, but they decided to make the shrines and altars specifically destructible.
> Climb and deface some holy sites and shrines
> They didn't treat other cultures this way
> Uses likeness of IRL active shrines without permission
> Game has an entire thing about looting the graves of the ancestors of current emperor to get in game special armor
> They are having tourists defacing their shrines IRL and concerned this game will inspire a rise in the number of incidents
> In regards to Yasuke... it is being handled by another department of the govt and he will not step into their authority

You have lost track of time. CSGO 2 is just CSGO. All of those games came out over a decade ago.

Snail Games (ARK Survival Evolved dudes) just released a minute of AI-generated nonsense that has nothing to do with an upcoming expansion for their game.

The comments and dislikes are legendary.
