2. GAMERSSS

3. Seriously, The Invincible is a far better space game than Starfield, Starfield is as barren as a 59 year old liberal 'woman' who used to be called Bob, bloody hell Spider-man 2 was woke, I'm astounded by Insomniacs ability to make a PS5 only game look worse than the PS4 Pro original, too busy making Mary Sue Jane missions and the one with no bloody sound playing an antifa sim.

4. Haste gives me defunct vibes, love it.

5. I want to play Alan Wake 2 on my PS5

   But there’s no physical copy of the game. So I’m not buying it. Because I want to own the game if I spend big money on it. Not have a rented license.

6. starfield triumphant start? Players' memory is not bad, the correct thing to say is: "it had an exclusive start 1 week before for certain shameless promoters".

7. Bethesda know how to make games, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and other titles prove Bethesda has talent. still how Bethesda got IGN and the other conglomerates to say Starfield is good is a mystery. Like CyberPunk 2077 Starfield has released in an unofficial early access stage and simply isn't ready to wow gamers yet. like CDPR Bethesda just need a year or two to make their game worth buying.

   Youtube content creators and other buyers of this early access title deserve our thanks, without the content creators we can only rely on the conglomerates to provide ratings.

8. Why did Alan wake do so poorly? They put a chick in it and MADE IT GAY!! Diversity hires will never net great….anything.

9. COD is the Fast and Furious of the gaming world. Started great but now it's like who is still playing these games?!?

10. Say what you want about Starfield, but we're at 3 months since it released, and yet people are still talking about it. I wouldve thought people wouldnt care about it anymore

11. Hey shill up I know you're full of soy and weakness but could it just be that Alan Wake 2 was a badly written woke modern-day ESG dei piece of bait and switch garbage and deserved to bomb? Nahhh couldnt be it….

12. I don't like digital only releases. Prices don't go down often compared to physical release. And i wish console bundles came with a physical copy of a game

13. i do like the idea of a AAA developer responded to Steam reviews but these are not very insightful

14. Wearing my googly eyes as a sign of protest

15. Alan Wake 2 was an absolute masterpiece, and I know that word is overused. My game of the year.

16. Dragon quest monsters gets no love here

17. bethesda is too old leave th video games to the young old man

18. I have a friend that works at Bethesda (has for about 5 years or so), on the QA team, and I lost count of how many times he made Facebook statuses claiming: "People who didn't like Fallout 76 never played it and just wanted to jump on the trendy hate-train." As such, sadly, I can't say this entirely surprises me..

19. Bethesda acts like they’re the first company to make a bad game.

20. Shame that Shill Up didn't discuss the 'C77 Ultimate Edition' doesn't even have Phantom Liberty on disc…

21. Has Shill Up ever finished his Baldurs Gate 3 review. I could swear he said he was almost finished it.

22. You can fly, mine, and shoot or whatever, but what makes doing those things INTERESTING? A few months ago, I played "The Artful Escape", which had basically moments of simon-says rhythm games as gameplay, but I still wanted to get to the end of the game because the characters, music and visual flare were enough to keep me going. Now I'm about to check out "No Straight Roads" after hearing the music of a boss battle and seeing some character designs. From what I can tell, gameplay isn't deep, but I am interested enough to at least try the game out.

    An open world game with endless worlds and a dozen options sounds great on paper, but it's not just WHAT you can do that makes a game great, it's the setting context in and mechanics through which you play. A spacefaring game with lame enemies with no variety, unremarkable mission design and standard mechanics copied from older Bethesda games? Who wants to play a game that acts like it was made in 2015?

    I don't care that I can travel a hundred worlds if they're all boring.

23. i mean… them astronauts that went to the moon were probably a bit bored…

24. "Complete Edition" might have some unintentional connotations when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077.

25. Those Bethesda replies sound very ChatGPT, in content, context and form.

26. I want to play Alan wake 2 so badly but digital only is a pass for me. I’m really into physical media and actually owning the content I pay for.

27. Bethesda is responding to bad reviews on Game Pass. Users can't respond to reviews, but Game Pass updated so Bethesda could. It's incredible watching them suggest to players why they are wrong for having a negative experience.

28. Another reminder I should play the Mass Effect trilogy.

29. Starfield has good bones. It just got boring.

30. Here is how Google and Tencent buying Epic games looks like. It is mixture of brown, green and yellow shit.

31. As someone that works in marketing, I literally cannot believe some of these responses by Bethesda. Like holy shit I would be so embarrassed if my boss asked me to hit send on some of those.

32. Isn’t Bethesda the ones that said glitches aren’t a problem and are a feature?

33. Alan Wake 2 is amazing and love the Control crossovers. Hey Balders Gate is finally getting a physical edition so Remedy should get one hopefully.

    I’d love Alan Wake 2 physical. I just recently bought a huge Control Artbook, I’d love for Alan Wake 2 to get one.

34. hey, what's the BGM in Haste: Broken Worlds segment? (@ 27:26–27:36)
    whatever it is, it totally slaps and I'd love to hear more of that (or something similar)

35. Please Add Video Sections!!

36. Maybe if Alan wake 2 wouldn’t be such a woke mess it would also sell better.

37. "These are not the negative reviews you are looking for."

38. i didnt get alan wake because i cant run it , i think that is one of the reasons people arent getting it i mean i wanna enjoy a game with med to high and 60 fps, and i got a gtx 1660 sooo

39. Customer: i had this issue

    Bethesda: ummm no you didnt

    Amazing, 11/10

40. I think Alan Wake 1 and 2 aren't for everyone. It's kinda niche, I loved Control but this one doesn't interest me at all. That and being digital only makes so people can't resell it if they don't like it (2h is too short sometimes) on console and being locked in the Epig Game Store on PC, they shot themselves in the foot with this game.

41. 3:28 this got my like

42. Bethesda using ChatGPT to respond to Reviews?

43. Wait, Google de-listed Fortnite from Epic's own game store? Surely Google is not that powerful, Ralph… surely you've misspoken.

44. Most dorito flavors are vegan Skillup

45. He said the same thing last week but you can defiantly buy BG3 deluxe in Aus, Larin have an Asia/Pacific region of the merch store, it converts to AUD and all.
