Hollow Knight Silksongs Design Philosophy Is Puzzling Type2Productions 2025-09-17 | Hollow Knight Silksong is all the rage right now but we both found Silksong to be a disappointment and a downgrade from the 1st game. #silksong #hollowknight #hollowknightsilksong This video will serve as a partial review of Hollow Knight Silksong but will more so focus on the questionable design choices Team Cherry made and get into why they feel overly punishing, tedious, and why they cause the game to not be an enjoyable experience. It's got a ton of polish and clearly a ton of work went into it, but it feels like Team Cherry leaned into the worst aspects (The Soulslike Elements) of the 1st game and doubled down on them.Subscribe - youtube.com/@Type2Productions?sub_confirmation=1Channel Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCqHq26WAjSBejtQvg7DreWw/join0:00 Intro - The Game is Well Made but Not Fun2:11 Hornet's Health, Damage, and Healing5:34 Enemy and Boss Design is Overly Punishing17:18 Platforming and Level Design are Flawed25:44 Broken Resource Economy28:59 Lack of Rewarding or Meaningful Progression33:18 Outro - Shill Narratives About Silksong

The biggest issues we had with it were the lack of balance within combat due to how overpowered the dodge and parry system are. Because the defensive options are so strong, the enemies and bosses have to use parlor tricks in the form of delay attacks and party wipes to compete. The other major flaw would be the story, specifically towards the end of Act 2. They abandoned seeing out the cool direction the story was headed in, in favor of twist after twist with little substance behind it.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productions0:00 Intro1:46 Combat Systems10:10 Enemy & Boss Design16:40 Pointless Mechanics18:48 Overworld Exploration21:59 Endgame Bosses28:10 Visuals/Performance/Audio31:26 Story49:25 Outro

Despite this, people are happy to throw money at Todd Howard and Bethesda for a soulless lazy cash grab of a remaster that is buggier and uglier than the original.

Oblivion Remaster Shills Have No Soul Type2Productions 2025-04-29 | The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster is upon us and both players and content creators alike are hailing this as the gold standard for what a remaster should be despite this clearly being very low effort. #oblivion #bethesda #elderscrolls Subscribe - youtube.com/@Type2Productions?sub_confirmation=1Channel Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCqHq26WAjSBejtQvg7DreWw/joinIt's no secret that over the years, Todd Howard has been very polarizing amongst fans of Bethesda games. Yet somehow in the year of our lord 2025, simply outsourcing a remaster of a beloved 2006 game off to a small French studio is putting the entire games industry on notice according to hardcore gamers like The Act Man, Legendary Drops, and LegacyKillaHD.

Nintendo Switch 2: The Pricing Nightmare Begins Type2Productions 2025-04-14 | Last week's Nintendo Switch 2 reveal showed off not only some new games but also an increase in both the price of the console and its respective games and it hasn't gone over great with fans.#nintendoswitch2024 #nintendo #nintendoswitch Subscribe - youtube.com/@Type2Productions?sub_confirmation=1Channel Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCqHq26WAjSBejtQvg7DreWw/joinInflation, tariffs, and better hardware and performance among other things are all being propped up as justifications for the increase in the pricing of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its games. New reveals such as Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bonanza, and The Duskbloods were all overshadowed by the backlash to the new pricing model as well as Nintendo's poor response to the backlash. It also appears Nintendo could be poised to increase prices even further after evaluating tariffs that went into place the same day as the reveal which could embolden other gaming companies to continue increasing their prices to the detriment of the consumers.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productions0:00 Intro - Price Increases1:22 New Tech and Features5:32 Inflation7:58 Tariffs9:00 Improved Performance11:24 Variable Pricing13:05 The Slippery Slope15:43 We Must Resist Even if in Vain
Assassins Creed Shadows is an Unmitigated Disaster Type2Productions 2025-04-01 | #assassinscreed #assassinscreedshadowsAssassin's Creed Shadows has come and gone and it was the same boring slog that the recent entries in the series have been but with even more jank and more exquisite diversity.The folks at Ubisoft claimed to care about "historical accuracy" in order to facilitate making Yasuke a make believe Samurai but also used that opportunity to change a lot of the characters in AC Shadows to be more inclusive. On top of this you've got a bunch of clowns online shilling for this game and pretending it's a perfectly competent entry into the series while receiving their early access key as usual. The game is a broken buggy mess with almost no redeeming qualities and the best purpose I can find for it is just to relentless mock it especially given how much it cost to make and how many different people worked on it.

Monster Hunter (Wilds) is Dead and Normies Killed It Type2Productions 2025-03-14 | Capcom has dropped Monster Hunter Wilds and the normies and their king Asmongold have been loving it despite it being middling slop. Neither of us have been enjoying it and we are gathered here today to talk about the state of Monster Hunter as of the release of wilds. #monsterhunter #monsterhunterwilds #monsterhunterworld Subscribe - youtube.com/@Type2Productions?sub_confirmation=1Channel Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCqHq26WAjSBejtQvg7DreWw/joinThe 2 biggest complaints we have with the game boil down to how it offers no challenge whatsoever and has completely abandoned the identity of the Monster Hunter series. Capcom all of a sudden wants to focus on a mediocre story filled with ugly androgynous characters and a comically diverse cast rather than focus on what we're all here for which is the monster hunts themselves. Speaking of the actual hunts, or rather fights since there's no hunting or tracking this time around, the monsters are a complete joke and offer nothing in the way of an actual challenge. Even high rank tempered and frenzied monsters get destroyed with ease since the players have been buffed while the monsters have been either unchanged or completely nerfed. It doesn't help that absolute slop consumers like Legendary Drops and EndymionTV are our here pretending the game is amazing and not woke at all (despite the 300lb ultra muscular brown women) just because it sold well and has a busty blonde on the cover.Editor's note: In the Investor section I meant to put a note on screen but for JP Morgan and State Street's % of shares owned, they were each on the list twice each with different account numbers so I combined them to accurately reflect the total percentage.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productions0:00 Intro - Monster Hunter Has Lost Its Identity5:40 Performance Issues7:40 Watered Down Gameplay12:37 Lack of Challenge30:00 Focus on Story Rather Than Hunts38:51 Japan is Not Safe From the Propaganda49:50 Normies Like Endymion and Legendary Drops Shilling the Game53:20 Outro - RIP Monster Hunter

It's literally in their financial report available on their website. We'll also touch on a particular Youtuber game reviewer, Worth A Buy, and his incessant shilling for this game. Kingdom Come Deliverance II absolutely has forced diversity, retconning characters to allow for gay romance, ESG funding, and all the other hall marks that most of these so called anti-woke critics would normally destroy a game for.

The Problem with Invincible: Violence Without Purpose Type2Productions 2025-02-07 | We recently suffered through Invincible seasons 1 and 2 based on many recommendations from people online as well as personal friends. And unfortunately this show sucks although it does have a couple of interesting aspects. #invincible #invinciblecomics Subscribe - youtube.com/@Type2Productions?sub_confirmation=1Channel Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCqHq26WAjSBejtQvg7DreWw/joinThis show promises to be a biting satire on the superhero genre that subverts your expectations. Stop me if you've heard this one before (Looking at Amazon's The Boys). Once you get past all the flash kills, blood, and guts you're left with uninteresting characters with questionable motivations. They're strong and powerful when the show needs them to be and their powers are comically ineffective when it's convenient. Between Omni-man, Invincible, Atom Eve, and Allen the Alien, it can be impossible to tell their true power because in some scenes they're unstoppable and in others they are useless. Not to mention this show throws tons of useless side plots at you throughout, with characters that they haven't put in the work to make us care about. Somewhere buried under all the gratuitous violence there are some decent ideas and a solid premise, but they don't do anything substantive with it. I'm still also unsure how 2D animation somehow looks worse now than it did 50 years ago but I guess that's a question for a different day.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productions0:00 - Intro: This show is amazing?0:26 - Season 1 Plot Issues7:12 - Season 2 Plot Issues13:54 - Leftist Nonsense24:35 - Weak Character Writing36:30 - Consequences Are Non-Existant42:37 - Useless Side Plots That Go Nowhere48:07 - Outro: All Style, No Substance
The Arcane Season 2 Falloff Needs to Be Studied Type2Productions 2024-12-27 | Arcane Season 2 has come and gone and I must say it is devoid of everything I enjoyed from Season 1. The characters are shallow and inconsistent, the dialogue is hilariously bad at times, and the plot is nonsensical at best. #arcane #arcaneseason2 #arcanejinx Subscribe - youtube.com/@Type2Productions?sub_confirmation=1Channel Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCqHq26WAjSBejtQvg7DreWw/joinWhether it's the writers choosing to have Jinx flip flop back and forth between insane and perfectly stable because a child fell from the sky into her lap, or Heimerdinger no longer caring about the dangers of the Arcane because he needs to strum a guitar for some folks from an alternate universe. A lot of the decisions both in the structure, pacing, and how these characters behave in the opposite way from what we've come to know of them in the first season, are head scratching to say the least. The more I look around the internet the more I think they tried to sneak a bunch of fan service in but in a way that came off as pandering specifically in regards to the Jinx and Ekko or Caitlyn and VI romances. The shippers are out of control and must be stopped!Before Season 1, I'd have never thought I'd enjoy a serious show based on League of Legends lore, but they somehow pulled off the impossible. The creative forces that made that a reality seem to be absent now. The animation, voice acting, and just about all other technical aspects of the show are phenomenal but it's hollow due to how little they made me care about the characters or what is happening to them since the scale is ramped up to an insane degree. The class struggle of Season 1 was a perfect way to tell that story but this season we jumped straight to time travel and multiverses to the detriment of the storytelling.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productions0:00 - Intro1:57 - Episode 14:53 - Episode 29:39 - Episode 315:08 - Episode 427:02 - Episode 531:45 - Episode 636:29 - Episode 742:18 - Episode 846:46 - Episode 91:04:44 - Final remarks on the plot1:06:38 - Pacing1:09:41 - Characters1:27:14 - Outro

They are inconsistent in how they interact with the environment, they constantly get stuck, their pathing is atrocious, and they drive like their playing Twisted Metal. The police force is incapable of finding you or even when they occasionally do their aggro is so inconsistent that they will go from blasting you to ignoring you in an instant.CD Projekt Red after 4 years still hasn't delivered the game that they promised yet gamers are forgiving them and even praising them because they've made some slight improvements. On top of that, they had the nerve to drop a paid DLC (Phantom Liberty) knowing the game is still completely broken.

The Game Awards 2024: Does The West Still Care About Games?

Corporatization and DEI Initiatives are holding the west back because they're too focused on squeezing out every dime and pushing diversity rather than focusing on making quality games.You also have a DLC nominated in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree which is silly considering Elden Ring already won GOTY in 2022. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a remake so it's also a weird choice. Black Myth Wukong had great production value but pretty shallow combat and Metaphor Refantazio's story is beyond stupid.

Metaphor ReFantazios Story Is Trash Type2Productions 2024-12-04 | This video is an in-depth story analysis of the new Atlus Game, Metaphor Refantazio.

The game also tends to undermine its own themes quite often. On top of that, player choice is not only inconsequential but the creators of this game put the optimal game choices behind their preferred morality choices. The consequences of your choices and actions are often undone very quickly and never land with the impact that they should. The biggest issue of all is that the story is filled with plot contrivances and even plot holes. Many times the characters act in such incredibly stupid ways that it makes it impossible to be invested in the story they are trying to tell. Despite the insane heaps of praise critics and users alike are giving this, Metaphor Refantazio sucks.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productionsTimestamps:0:00 Intro1:58 Themes - Discrimination7:20 Themes - Fanaticism10:57 Themes - Democracy12:46 Player Choice Is An Illusion17:45 Consequences Aren't Real21:58 Plot Contrivances and Plot Holes29:05 The Characters And Plot Are Incredibly Stupid48:47 Outro

Why Bioware and Dragon Age: Veilguard Are Doomed Type2Productions 2024-10-26 | Bioware used to be a household name, and it still is but these days it's for all the wrong reasons.

As a long-time fan of Bioware, it pains me to say that Veilguard is doomed from the start. With a history of missteps, from Mass Effect Andromeda to the decline of Bioware's game design, it's clear that the company is struggling to regain its footing. The Dragon Age fanbase is notoriously loyal, but even they can't save Veilguard from its poor gameplay, lackluster design, and overall sense of disappointment. In this video, we'll explore the reasons why Veilguard is headed for failure, and what this means for the future of Bioware. Is the company in crisis mode, or can they turn things around? Let's discuss the Veilguard review, its gameplay, and the insights that reveal a deeper issue within Bioware.type2productions type 2 productions type2 productions0:00 Intro - I Miss The Old Bioware1:52 Bioware Has Been Losing Key Talent2:27 Bioware's Recent History Suggests Veilguard Will Flop3:03 Bioware's Not So Discreet Agenda5:58 Development Issues/Lack Of Direction7:06 Outro - Let Bioware Die
Fandom Gatekeeping: The Last Line of Defense Type2Productions 2024-10-19 | Gatekeeping in gaming, movies, and television is often spoken of as a bad thing.

Join us as we unpack the design problems faced by many modern games, including Path Of Exile and Darkest Dungeon.
