Oh I'm not saying he's just trolling. I believe he agrees with pretty much he's saying. But I also think he's saying poo poo on twitter to grow his alt-right fanbase as well. He's exalting white nationalism while having parents who are literally Iranian. It's like the Dave Chappelle skit about a blink black KKK member. Either the mans brain damaged or he knows he can get a loyal fanbase if he lets his lovely opinions air as loud and terrible as possible

Because he has Iranian parents he knows how bad these people are! No really, that's the whole stupid appeal of the lovely uncle tom thing, which is the part he's (unknowingly) playing. The fact that he sounds stupid when he says "commulist" or w/e even plays into what the racist shitlords who shower him with positive attention want.

I haven't played it past the demo yet but I'm still finding myself really annoyed, having bought it*, that the demo of Nier Automata is pretty non representative

The open world stuff in BotW is actively driving me away from that and it's the most acclaimed Zelda in ages, I don't think Nier Automata is going to stand much of a chance for me

* Never Preorder

the open world poo poo in Nier I've completely and utterly ignored, it's not really a thing besides traversing some environments and once fast travel points are opened it's even less of a thing.

If you hate exploring open worlds then yeah BOTW isn't for you, the allure is exploring stuff on your own and being rewarded for it and doing what you want in order to achieve the end

Is there a game sorta like civ5 but not totally just about going to war with everyone, and has a bit more politics and trade like crusader kings 2?

I believe the game you are looking for is Crusader Kings 2. Seriously, Civ is the middle ground in these sorts of games. You don't have to go to war with everyone and I rarely do. If you want more war, the answer is stuff like Total War and the big nerdy hex war sims. If you want less war, you're stuck with a few things that Paradox publishes.

that's good to hear. I spent all weekend trying toconvince myself that I could like BOTW if I just gave it more time to click, perhaps I should have spent that on Nier instead of grumbling about the demo :v:

Yeah I tried CK2 and it's just so dull with adjusting 1000 different things. It took me 6 hours irl to pass 100 years in-game. I still wanna form some archers and capture and build some towns and expand territory a bit. Even throwing in a bit of actual building placement like in starcraft-type games could be okay if it's not too rigid or as time-critical as those games usually are.

So at this point I'm leaning towards JonTron knows his videos making him money is a temporary thing and instead of putting in effort to make better and better videos or working harder to break into other industries he's going all in on Right Wing-Nut Welfare like those failing bakeries or food places that suddenly find JESUS and won't serve gays then setup gofundme pages. He's already done interviews on breitbart so I'm guessing he's angling at being the hip young tech savvy talking head there or a regular guest on Fox News

I think he's just one of those "everything's going fine for me so clearly things aren't that bad and you're all just overreacting, I'm above all your childish political poo poo-flinging, let's just give Trump a chance" people. Well that, and "Muslims kill some people so clearly they're a huge threat to our WAY OF LIFE" is starting to creep in (because fear of the other is always going to be stronger than actual reality)

That is to say, he's an idiot, probably not at all conscious of how much of an idiot he is.

Seriously I wish I could have recorded every weird bug I've encountered playing this game because it's honestly incredible Rise of the Tomb Raider shipped with so many. I mean luckily the game is fun and the story is cool and I think Lara is a badass and the game is quite pretty. But man some of these bugs. The amount of times the camera has gotten stuck zoomed in after a brief cutscene, or the numerous times Lara gets stuck in the walking slow phase from said cutscenes and there's no way out of it without killing yourself (you can't shoot or run or anything when this happens).

Probably the weirdest bug I've encountered was one near what I assume is the end of the game, where i had to time my drop from a spinning ledge onto another small spinning ledge. I guess I jumped too early or something and it accidentally triggered... SOMETHING and I proceeded to fall really slowly as if there wasn't much gravity. She then landed but didn't land, as she kept her falling animation and slid around this ledge. I couldn't run or jump or attack or anything. I had to slowly slide myself off the side and fall to my death. The fall to my death was in slow motion and the fade to black before the loading screen came up ALSO was in slow motion. :confused:

edit: This game isn't Witcher 3 pretty, but drat if it doesn't do the "extended shot of awesome poo poo in the distance" really well:

I think what's so funny about this whole thing is that A) he said he LIKED IT and B) it literally says "good" next to his 7/10 score. It's not like he said it was bad! It just had a bunch of flaws so it wasn't 10/10. I think he puts numbers scores there just to make people upset that the metacritic score is now slightly lower than it was before.

Also his site got ddos'd earlier which is always funny because his site isn't supported by ads and he'll just put his reviews up on mirrors for people to read until the ddos is fixed, so it's the most pointless thing to do to him

This kind of poo poo is probably actively beneficial for him. Attention is what reviewers/youtubers/"content creators" want and need.

Unless he's literally never paid any attention to the internet at all there's no way this isn't exactly what he expected when he gave it that score.

I played from start to finish through that game and didn't encounter anything you're describing or any bugs for that matter. The game is good and very nice looking though.
