I just checked. he was pretty harsh on dragons dogma 2. "bad performance, terrible story, bad quests" "I didnt get a review copy."

For those of us that played BG3 on releases all the romance bullshit was bugged to initiate no matter your relationship with the character (right away). On the couple of 50% replays that I did later, it wasn't that bad and they didn't have everyone immediately start wanting to sex up my character (well, outside of the Gith). Plus, in the first playthrough, I killed the vampire the first time he tried to bite me and Wyll died when I refused to help his demon lady, so that helped too.

Thats how I felt when playing BG3 first act. And funny enough II didnt see that much snatch being thrown my way.

Why are they even talking to it anyway. I'm an old fashioned RPG'er: if it has horns, it's a devil or demon and it needs to die. I don't like this trend of games having evil races not being evil. I killed the tieflings in BG3 every time too, get off of my prime material plane and go back to the hells where you belong.

Well after watching this Fextra video, I can completely discount all those 5/5s and 10s. If anything, this makes the negative reviews even more reliable and damning.

I generally like Morti and his gaming interests align reasonably close to mine so I'm not really sure what to make of his review. GOTY? I genuinely can't believe that.

I automatically hide channels that ever have "The Truth" in their video titles. I've never seen one that wasn't just opinions or people discussing subject matters they aren't well versed in.

You can hide youtube channels? I keep down voting the ones I don't like to make them go away.

in the main browser view click the three dots and choose "Don't recommend channel" and you will never see it again.

False.
You can RECCOMEND the channel be removed, and it will be temporarily hidden, but it doesnt go away forever. I have un-recommended many channels and have seen them in my feed again like 3 days later.
The way the characters in this game look make me very worried. It just reeks of trash.

Seems like it, can't reconcile the absolutely ridiculous dialogue with this somehow being a competent game. There were several absurd moments in BG3, for example, but that was made by people who actually love games and the systems surrounding the ridiculous dialogue was extraordinary. Cannot fathom how that's the case here...

he does also do the "check out" videos, which are more for Early access games.
reviewing this I see Vrising 1.o was this year. that should get a nod.
what of that list is a contender?
vrising, space marine 2, dragonage, metaphor, boltgun, skald, another crabs treasure?
does rogue trader count even though it was technically december of 2023? also, very buggy at release, its good NOW.
Hell, I NEVER buy games at release. my "GOTY" is always like 3 years old. ha.

I mean their metacritic average isn't even that high so that's pretty telling if they handpicked the reviewers and still didn't land 90+ average. It's like 84 average, which if gaming reviews were done correctly would be very good but seeing as how gaming reviews often scale from 7 to 10 makes it mediocre. I watched the skill up review and while I think it was too long and yapping too much about the same shit in circles, I'm definitely going to assume the game is lukewarm piss, with low impactful choices, no tension and a very whimsical pixar-like adventure with one big turn point near the end that eventually gets resolved anyway(although the Skill Up guy mentionned that last part was actually good). Poor writing, poor characters, dogshit combat, yeah that sounds pretty much like what I'd expected.
