Risk of Rain 2 is a Triple A Game.

has anybody actually played Gollum the game where you play as a malnourished child because you have no money and nobody likes you and you slave away doing slave labor activities only to be beaten killed and then thrown in jail you know what actually hold on you know what this game is actually a fantastic representation of real life I applaud the Developers for making such an accurate description of reality this is not a bad game I think people just missed the point 10 out of 10. no but in all seriousness I literally wasted 50 and hours of my time that could have been used for something useful I could have I literally could have went out and filled up my car with a tank of gas but instead I no instead I bought Gollum game and trusted a company that price tiered their product meant for AAA I don't know what I expected to be honest I expected at the very least a decent gaming experience but instead I experienced the most boring and monotonous game I have ever played oh my God this is fun dude this is really this is a fun at that point I decided to look for games that didn't try to pass off as big studios hence why they put their Hefty price tag that was the last time I ever play AAA game on release and I'm gonna call them AAA for the mere fact that they price them so goddamn High and the company has at least some sort of reputation when it comes to making games that's what I'm gonna Define it as but these Studios aren't really focused on passion anymore it seems like it's about releasing something as quick as possible and cashing out the first couple of days before everyone realizes you release something so horrendous that you have to release an apology on Twitter on how revolting your game is that's one more added to the collection thank you for that so I refunded the gollum game and looked through Steam again to see what game I can play and not feel like I've been absolutely robbed to find a game that I would actually enjoy a game that I can play and feel satisfied when I stop playing it unfortunately I couldn't find anything so I looked on YouTube to see what the top 10 lists are for every year on Steam but the problem is I already have all the games they were recommending me everything was boring already and everything sucks I needed something different so I looked through Steam once again like how you'd look at the refrigerator every five minutes when you're hungry in hopes that maybe the food you saw there five minutes ago changes into something desirable and that's when I found at Ender lilies that sounds absolutely atrocal to the lamb I actually played that with one of my friends it was actually okay inscription I don't even want to play I saw Markiplier play it I think I'm good on the darkest dungeon to hell no Binding of Isaac rebirth is also a no I think I'm good on that one this one looks pretty cool [Music] you guys want to see what it's like to actually enjoy a video game what do you guys think about the timing right now 500 maybe if you didn't play buffoon I get to play what I want I'm good with Akron I swear I just can't land his jumps for whatever reason oh my God I don't know yo what are you sailor my dog's being on the carpet no no no no oh you can't oh my God okay I'm gonna flip out if I die here oh my God okay okay that's fine that's actually fine that doesn't really matter I just can't die anymore this is the Run boys I can feel it this is the one all right this one this one is the run this one I promise risk of rain too has anybody not heard about this game I feel like there's so many videos on it ever since it grew in popularity yet I feel like a lot of people don't really know about it you know what it feels like it sort of feels like a closed off tribe separated from the rest of the world and the only way you would know about it is if you searched up the name on YouTube or you happen to stumble across it on Steam but once you do let me tell you oh I jumped far now for anybody that's a little bit confused the game is a rogue-like a 3D roguelike hmm oh that's a little bit unique is it you go through different stages the longer you're in the run the harder it gets and the larger variety of enemies there are the more items you collect the stronger you are and the faster you kill things and in the end you fight a boss if you die it's permanent and you start over maybe with a different Survivor that has different abilities and there you go that's it pretty generic run-of-the-mill indie roguelike game but it's surprising to me why I would make a video specifically about this one because not only do I rarely play Indie Games I also hate roguelikes why because there's no actual progression to them the moment you die you lose everything you've worked for and the Run starts again you go through the levels you get unlucky on your weapons or items and die and the Run starts again you go through the levels and the game crashes because at that point your poopy computer can't run God knows what's on your screen anymore and the Run starts again and then you go through the levels and the Run starts again what but I still decided to give this game a chance not only were the graphics appealing to me I liked how bright and colorful it looked and also I do tend to like third person shooters a little bit so that was a plus and I really didn't want to go back to AAA it was either this or go back to playing Golem game and I didn't want to do that so yeah now we're here but out of all the roguelikes that I've played I can confidently say that risk of rain 2 is the only game that I find exceptional when it comes to the roguelike genre sure there are plenty of likes out there that are cool and nice and people like them more than this one and they essentially have the same mechanics and they have more to do but to me this game is different it doesn't strike at first maybe you'll think it's just a simple shooter with silly little monsters and silly characters but no no they aren't characters they're survivors you're a rescue team looking for your other comrades that landed on this planet before you a huge operation led by your one and only captain and you the Commando who came out of retirement this is who you play when you first open the game you might be saying oh wow what can he do what's he about what are his is there anything special about no no not really you have some pea shooters and you can glide and shoot really fast but only sometimes because it's on a 10 second cooldown and it for some it doesn't it doesn't do anything it does no damage a simple ordinary guy just like me and maybe just like you but you can definitely make him not boring the thing about this game is that the items you collect are almost all passives seems a little bit weird but the cool thing about them is that they are almost infinitely stackable the game has has no limits the game wants you to break it you want to scrap all your items into goat hoofs go for it nobody's stopping you do it and run off the map at Mach 5 if you want to if you want to ruin your run by activating the shrine that Stacks all your items into one go for it nobody's stopping you or maybe you want to try your luck with this little flower here it changes all of your items into legendary ones every stage you enter in and by the time you're a couple stages in you're an invincible sloth hold on though if you're sick and tired of playing RNG with your items dude oh my this is my third bison stick no thanks restart that's fine boom there you go no more RNG you can pick whatever you want now there we go much better devices but what if you don't want to play Commando anymore that's okay too you can play as Shrek and jump around the map and be a silly little Goose or you can play artificer if you're a giant plus you want to play Risk of Rain 2 but only the first stage play mercenary and if you don't want to play Risk of Rain 2 at all that's okay there's actually a Survivor for that too or maybe even though there are barely any boundaries set maybe you don't even want the boundaries oh my God this is a lot what the [ __ ] rattling I have not been able to beat you legitimately that's okay I don't care anymore wow that's oh my God oh my God okay I don't know what's happening anymore game crashed okay let's start over there's a lot of things about this game that make it great the fluidity of the game is one of them if you want to get into a run it takes about three button clicks to get into one no loading screens at all and when you die you can start a beginning too I think that's something really really important especially nowadays I can't concentrate or have the patience to wait for longer than 10 seconds on something that isn't interesting why do you think Tick Tock is as popular as it is very polished very simple and very quick something that my brain appreciates I'm getting real tired of losing I love a game where I can just open it and start playing almost immediately not open the game and go through the most annoying and confusing jumbled mess of a UI system to get into the actual thing that I wanted to do my mind asks for Simplicity and for replayability risk of rain gives that to you on a silver platter on the replayability aspect there are so many items and so many different item combos you can do in this game that make you want to play the game over and over and over again trying to find the perfect run the perfect ratio of items that allow defense and offense to the point where you actually you actually don't even need to play the game anymore it's really weird to say that the longer you play the game the more relaxed the experience is it doesn't actually get harder it actually gets easier regardless obviously of what you see on the screen what the [ __ ] is the mods are great thanks to all the wonderful people that also enjoy the game you can play as Ganondorf I think that's pretty cool Ganondorf is canon what I didn't know you can grab a bottle hold up I have I have an idea can I grab you um where'd he go [Music] oh he's right there there's a reason why people make modifications for this game there's a reason why it has overwhelmingly positive reviews and there's a reason why it's so popular it's clearly the gameplay the mechanics the variety of Heroes the amazing and passionate community that goes along with it but none of that would be possible if the company that created this game we're incompetent I want you guys to look at redfall for a second and tell me if this was made with the player base in mind foreign right okay all right so clearly not this is AAA Studio well known for making games back then with plenty of developers artists and enough Revenue to make something great this is hopu they've made four games and three of them are of the same universe I would say this is surprising but it really isn't at least not anymore but how is it possible that a triple a studio can't make a cohesive playable and entertaining game and an indie company can make a game that is not only functional and doesn't break but is also so captivating that it creates a community passionate enough to make modifications for it the biggest compliment you can have in your game in my opinion big Studio games nowadays are either hit or miss usually a Miss I wouldn't go as far as to say that the devs aren't passionate except for Gollum that was a that was a terrible concept to screw everyone that made that game alright so so for the most part it's not the developer's fault it's their poor management wanting to push these games out as quick as possible it seems like right and for whites to get your game blown to bits by every media outlet and get overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam see redfall was actually a cool concept it wasn't a sequel or prequel to any other game it was something completely new with a new story yet they somehow still managed to release it too early and left it with tons of bugs and terrible optimization a big stain on their reputation honestly I lit I have no idea why they decided to release it like this and then put an absolutely disgusting pathetic insultingly High 70 price tag on it I could I could have filled in my car with two tanks of gas I'm tired of seeing games like these get pumped out so frequently where I can't tell the difference if it was made by an amateur developer who's showing off his first understanding of Unreal Engine 5 or AAA Studio on the Indie side risk of rain 2 is also an original story and it's exactly what a triple A game should be like I'm not talking about the graphics or the gameplay this time I'm talking about what comes with that the obvious work and time they put into it you can see it in the Polish the variety of survivors each with a bit of lore to them the large variety of items and enemies each with their own unique abilities and logs to further your understanding of what it is you're playing what it is you're fighting and what it is you're doing you become immersed in the game and that immersion isn't broken by countless bugs you can tell that there was so much time put into the game and not rushed by some arbitrary deadline did I mention the music yet by the way oh my God the music this is the only game where I actually put their soundtrack on my Spotify playlist and it only adds more depth and Beauty to the game sometimes I just want to stay in the stage I'm in and just stand there listening if you're a Chris Crystal music enjoyer you get a thumbs up from me each stage you go into once you've beaten the boss is a new track that gets played each with its own unique Rhythm and each one fitting the environment that you're in somehow I don't know how they managed to do that but it works if it's your first time playing you have no idea what your objective is you just move forward enjoying the run the more you collect items as it gets easier and easier and as you collect more logs you find out about who and what you're up against mythrix the King of Nothing imprisoned on the Moon by his brother once friendly to each other but then mythrix threw a worm in the well or something I don't know but now you have to kill them but you don't know that yet you haven't gotten to the final stage because you can't beat it you keep dying it's too hard but you're stubborn and you're narcissistic so you keep it on Monsoon and you tell yourself you got this and you continue your run again stage one I collect my items and kill the boss in under four minutes piece of cake that was pretty easy I got this stage two it gets a little harder I missed a couple chests but overall not too bad thumbs up I'm having fun stage three things have changed I've collected more items I'm able to run around a little bit more relaxed stage four I can kill anything at this point nothing hurts me mythrix I'm Coming For That Ass stage five I can see the moon it's huge I'm almost there I've been waiting for this moment my whole life final stage can I please not die by some BS I just want to go to bed at this point which pillar is this one again what does this do again oh God okay that's two okay I can die really easily here I don't have a potion all right that's three right there come on nope I can't do this one yes once you destroy all the pillars the Music Stops the enemies stop spawning it's quiet and then you reach the platform all right Hey Big Boy long time no see oh my God chill when you stop moving around so fast please stop oh my God um no [Music] there's only a few games out there where dying and losing all my stuff after about an hour or two of gameplay doesn't drive me up the wall and cause me to destroy my setup risk of rain 2 is actually one of those games it's that one game you find where you play for hours on end and never get bored of it even though it's completely repetitive with the same stages the same items and the same gameplay every single run is still a little bit different you either pick how you want the run to go based off of the items you choose or you just let the game pick it out for you every single run seeing the little log books drop after you've killed an enemy and reading the little interesting snippet that comes with it makes it a challenge to piece the lore together I find that it gives more of an incentive to keep playing I like it some people don't but it's one of the reasons why I love to play it so much the music the colorful cartoony Graphics the interesting looking enemies the mods the items the RNG the replayability the Polish I don't know maybe I'm praising this game too much I don't really think so it's a really good game and also a really good game Studio I think I'll just stick with Indie Games for now but AAA has disappointed me I don't see it getting any better anytime soon now that there aren't any good recent big titles out there there definitely are but it's very few at this point I think companies are either too impatient or too lazy or don't have enough income to spend years on a game to make it make waves unfortunately it seems like the game world has changed it was rarely Early Access we never had apologies on Twitter the rushed hot garbage wasn't as common as it is now everyone's used to it and I see the titles that are coming out now that have tons of marketing around it and it looks hype and it looks cool yeah but I can't stop myself from thinking that this is just another redfall another four spoken another Golem game so what's the consensus here AAA games suck no well yes some of them do but it's the company's fault please do better and don't rush your games for the love of God please also play Risk of Rain too because risk of rain 2 is good hopeu games thank you for being the good role model and hopefully I'll find another game that can make me feel the same way I feel about this one and if not that's okay I'll just keep playing risk of rain too foreign dude I just finished editing the video I just finished it it's nine dude this is taking me over a month to finish because I'm such a giant procrastinator I'm gonna make more of these probably a little bit more consistently in the meantime though you should follow my twitch if I'm not uploading it's either because I'm editing or I'm streaming to get footage for the video please follow it makes me feel better about myself
