Ok here’s what’s been confirmed for season 2 so far Episode 1 will be Boku no Natsuyasumi. This appears to be a Japanese PS1 game about a kid relaxing on summer vacation. Episode 2 will be LA Noire. Episode 3 might be Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (but if not it will be a later episode). Other confirmed episodes are Earthbound and Final Fantasy IV.

There might be another open-world game other than LA Noire given his comments in #5 (and the footage of Days Gone?).

I read the Days Gone clips as just one of those open world games he played for this video. Granted, I haven't watched part 5 yet. But I would like to speculate on Alan Wake being one of the future episodes, he's alluded to it in the past as an "almost perfect video game".

bewilderment posted:The first half of part 2 is about how graphics and games drive each other, how graphics can be built to stand the test of time, and the way graphics, like CP2077's graphics, are a gigantic selling point for a game. Except he ends the section with a confession he pulled 16 hour days again to finish the video cause he doesn't know how to stay turned off

I wouldn't be shocked if days gone was reviewed as part of season 2- i don't think LA Noire is the game where he'll speak positively of open worlds(the open world really isn't much of a part of that game), and days gone, for games that actually have a plot does use the trappings of the open world reasonably well. I think Mount & Blade is probably the game that uses an open world the best but that game doesn't have the narrative(or industry significance) that Tim is looking for. It's just, as he says in story 4, the looting and RPG skill trees/point allocation do absolutely nothing to improve Cyberpunk, i think it would've worked better as a straight FPS with some kind of sci-fi thing about how other people's weapons are biometrically locked so you can't pick them up. If hacking was going to be a thing, it'd probably be better if the entire game was designed around it, eschewing the fun-shooter part instead of hacking being super magic cheat codes in an FPS.

I feel like I wasn't supposed to enjoy part 5 but I did anyway. Maybe that's a sign of just how much of a sucker I am for the whole Tim Rogers schtick, I dunno. Also now I'm back in that familiar Action Button zone of "okay which part was bullshit and which part was the truth?" with the twist ending of part 5, where he claims he does in fact want you to watch the whole review and only said "pick two parts" to placate people who'd bellyache about the length, and also claims that the delays were on purpose just to make people mad on Twitter. Not too sure how much I believe any of that but it's a fun "twist" either way

The thing about the "pick two stories" instruction is that it's meant to reproduce the structure and the decisions that play out in Cyberpunk 2077 itself; having you make the decision and think about it helps you appreciate what the game does in its best turns. When he calls Story 5 the "true ending" of the review, it's calling back to how he describes the space ending of CP2077 in Story 3. It's made to be watched as a whole, and him saying that a lot of the parts deliberately overlap is a total lie, but playing along helps you appreciate the whole.

Tim Rogers only seems to review good games, while also having a love of good Japanese games. So it says a lot that he’s never reviewed nor mentioned the Yakuza series.

There are a few oblique mentions of ryu ga gotoku during the fashion derail in part 6. I think he also interviewed toshihiro nagoshi at some point during his kotaku video years though I haven't watched it. But you're not wrong, it seems like a safe bet he doesn't really like them edit: lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNx3xwDfStw&t=24s No Mods No Masters fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Oct 28, 2021 |

I’ve only watched his Pac-Man review and a few different sections of the cyberpunk one and he’s already mentioned Yakuza a bunch of times, and they’ve all been in positive ways so  Edit: https://mobile.twitter.com/108/status/1327769333150396417?lang=en

This is my first Tim Rogers experience and I think I like it? Somehow I've made it through the intro and parts 1-3 and I plan on finishing it Friday and maybe Monday. I'm not even interested in the game but I'm kind of hooked on the presentation and the synopsis is fun.

I think a lot of people ended up being shocked they watched a 6-hour video on Tokimeki Memorial and it was just because it was fun to watch Tim talk about it, and hell, by the end, maybe more people cared about Tokimeki Memorial (which was probably the goal).

I think I might try the Tokimeki video after this one. I drive for a living so these make good podcasts even if I get a lesser experience. Also I'm trying to remember all of the cyberpunk games he played on Nintendo and Sega systems and the PC-98, because I want to try them out. All I can remember is Shadowrun though.

Yeah I've gotten plenty of people that never play games to watch that one and they were fascinated. Dude's mind is fascinating.

Tim should really put his novels out into the world. The way he has written these reviews definitely would translate well into the written realm.

The top tier tim in my experience is tokimeki and the ff7 mosey series. Are there any other particularly good videos from the kotaku days? I've watched a few but they usually felt like normal-ish albeit tim-infused previews/reviews

Tim Rogers is a rare literary soul and even if you find yourself a bit bored at points during his videos I recommend sticking it out becuase the man's writing is beautiful and will stick with you

The steelcase gesture really is a great expensive chair I would recommend anyone that can get their work to buy one do so. I haven't watched all the parts (watched the what I like/don't like parts) but I overall agree with him that the game is pretty good most of the time but the open world adds nothing and the looting is pretty tedious and boring.
