Given that you've received a fair bit of negative feedback on the RPG elements, can I suggest an alternative: Metroidvania? You've already mentioned an open-world hub (which I assume must also be in cyber-space based on your graphics limitations) so the exploration elements aren't a stretch. It...

Must admit, I creased up at "Why do you watch this?" I also can't believe that the architecture at Stone Tower went completely over my head, then again a lot of the enemies in that area still creep me out even to this day (those death armos man, the way they move and are completely...

Something I forgot to ask in my last post, has your channel been affected at all by Nintendo's mass copyright claims?

As an interesting observation, Majora's Mask seemed to start a pattern of having anything to do with death in Zelda games working on base four. (for Twilight Princess, anything to do with the twilight realm works in fours - four pieces of the mirror of twilight, four fragments of the fused...

Riki, but I doubt this will last after I actually become competent at the game, he seems to be built around a first order optimal strategy. (To clarify on the competency comment, Riki is the only character I can play, anyone else I start losing badly around the level 8-14 phase of the game.)

Hello again, great to see that you're still doing these. It's clear that you're still planning to cover a load of material so I'll just raise a few thoughts on a topic that it seemed you weren't planning to expand on any further: the design of the mask. Firstly, the eyes are clearly forward...

Xenoblade Chronicles.

Opening comments passed without contest as per request, I won't argue a topic that the other party doesn't want to discuss. Yes, you're right about how people form arguments, the reason why I write in a manner that dismisses arguments made purely on knee-jerk reactions, prejudice and...

I had a few modules on narratology on my university course, which I've now finished, so I have to keep the technique of analysing a text polished somehow. Regarding citations, the majority of the post was first hand analysis of existing patterns within the medium of video-games, backed by...

I promised myself I wasn't going to jump into this debate since wherever EA gets mentioned, well, the 'I like where this is going /sarcasm' meme seems appropriate. None the less, wall of text incoming: Firstly, to address the main point of the thread: as far as I'm concerned there are two...

My interpretation of Handsome Jack is that he's a narcissistic fantasist with a sadistic streak that is provoked when the reality doesn't match up to his fantasy. His obsession with being 'the hero' stems more from his narcissism than any kind of heroic ideal - heroes are often the main...

I didn't mean to suggest that Suda51 might be advocating censorship or control of the medium, that's at the other end of an extreme spectrum. Perhaps saying it wasn't good-natured was a poor choice of words. What I meant to communicate was that he doesn't seem to have any respect for an opposing...

Hello again. I've been waiting until the third part of this was done, brilliant work as always, before passing any comments and I'll start with a general observation: You tend to focus a lot on what's contained within the narrative and the cinematic sequences without much focus on the...

Hi, seems I'm a bit late to the party on this one. Must admit I can't find a great deal of discussion to be had here since most of what you mentioned in the video is heavily grounded in established literary theory applied to a new context. On the topic of cultural context, I have vague...
