What are the main points you talked about in your video?
- Charging for VR for an already released game not being okay.
- Open World Doesnāt mean the game will be great
- How publishers have interfered with developers.
- Support for Games long after release including free DLC
- Maps being free for First Person Shooter Games.
Those are the ones I can remember right now.

Iād like to see someone discuss how people say āzombie games have been done to deathā but never done right.
My example would be: Dying Light looked amazing and was fun to play, but no game with deep and complex survival tactics has been paired with the fun gameplay of Dying Light. What games do have āhardcore survival mechanicsā are always freaking DayZ ripoffs ruined by other people because the zombies are never enough of a threat to cut down on player on player violence.
My example of survival mechanics would be base building, food, water, disease, resources, etc. I havenāt seen a game that mixes those with the quality graphics, and fun gameplay of something like Dying Light.

You could also talk about how Multiplayer has ruined single player gaming as a whole for the gaming industry.

Um.
I take issue with what you said about KOTOR 2 being a phenominal game. While yeah KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 are good games, KOTOR 2 specifically was somewhat controversial. It was rushed out and not completed. Including broken quest lines and bugs that happened in the first game.
HOWEVER, I am only about 10 minutes into the video, and am going to assume/hope you address that game more specifically. It was rushed out according to interviews with people who worked on the game.
(there was at least one planet, and possibly one space station cut from the game. The broken quest line is for the character of HK-47, which cannot be completed in any way without a fan made patch that fixes a lot of bugs and restores all of the cut content)
Isnāt there a patch for KOTOR 2 that adds in missing content?

There is, but itās fan made which is why I would not call it phenomenal. If you got it for console, youāre basically screwed out of a planet, a station, and at least one storyline.
LucasArts rushed Obsidian to finish by Christmas time of '04, or whatever year it was it came out. Besides, thereās a mod a restored almost all of the cut content.

I know this, and said it in the same post.
I now. Iām just pointing out that it wasnāt Obsidianās fault, as I see people tend to think.
Itās probably my favorite game of all time.

Obsidian as in the same Obsidian that made Fallout New Vegas but got screwed over by Bethesda for short development time and not reaching >85 on metacritic because of the criticisms of a buggy game at launch?

Oh I know.
Again, just saying that the game wasnāt spotless basically.
I seem to remember, long ago, reading that the Obsidian team wasnāt allowed to play or read up on the first KOTOR. I canāt find any evidence of it online but I could/would swear I remember reading that somewhere.
Yeah.
Your points are very valid. I actual donāt address why I think it is great now. I donāt know if you are aware but Obidisan patched it recently, made it so it supported Steamwork Shop and they worked with the The Sith Lords Content Restored people. Itās good now thanks to that without though yeah it just goes into okay. Like you used to have to do some ridiculous stuff to get the game to run on a modern pc. Now you donāt.
