Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

I feel weirdly mixed about this. I liked fabel 3 more then i should have because i liked and mostly because the choices while binary and dumb were interesting. during your rebelion travels you find a eldrich evil that is slowlyi crawling toward the kingdom. basicaly you have a year to accumulate enough wealth and resourses to fight it off or most of your population dies. So alot of times you have to break your promices to your fellow conspirators, and do stuff like keep the factories running and heavier taxes. Now i was able to keep most of my promices, except toward the one stero typical leftist. so idk but most of their other games are meh or crap.

I'm not very dark soulsy. I've not gone back to Dark Souls 1 since I mentioned it in the last thread. I guess one day it will just click properly and I'll play it.

It is a niche series and it is ok that not everyone likes it, as with many niches.

A niche doesn't really refer to a market mainstay, nor something that sells so well across platforms.

You are technically right though because videogames is a niche market so every videogame could be considered niche.

It's almost like the channel assumes the audience is interested in making games themselves and can learn something from a video about the balance of a wildly successful card game.

I don't particularly like card games. It's just such a childish statement in the context of a video that discussed a game system in an educational context.

this is a fun and civil side convo about your opinions on my opinions which you've made in defense of a hypothetical video regarding a thing you don't feel passionately about.

The AI In Gwent is also really dumb, and you can have it waste all of its good cards in the first round, which makes the other rounds incredibly easy.
