S.O.M.A was insane horror – single player game. Its a pretty complex story, but it essentially danced around the idea of copy pasting your conscience.
1:15:02 this is the future liberals want 😂
Prey 2017
I remember playing Myst and Riven when I was a kid
Then I watched earlier this year a 4-5 hour long video with the lore, including things from the novels. It was amazing
By the way! RealMyst is a remake and this year they released a remake of Riven!
I don't comment on videos that often but this is definitely one of the best videos I've watched in a while, I love this video essay style great job man!
My favorite elderscrolls tidbit is Pelinor Whitestrake, the time traveling cyborg paladin who killed so many elves he almost single-handedly destroyed an entire empire.
Kinda surprised not to see the lore of Battletech/Mechwarrior on the list.
Easily tied with Mass Effect as my favorite sci-fi universe! Just as, if not even more, grimdark than Warhammer, also with decades of stories sunk into an ever-expanding and extremely dense/historied universe.
Amazing video though! I'm a new subscriber, so forgive me if it was covered elswhere.
Ahh wonderful topic for a video. Saved to watch later 🙂
a virus released from a Chinese lab huh? Sounds familiar
surprised team fortress 2 isnt here. excited to watch tho
Splatoon: Go genocide an “inferior” race that’s fighting to survive underground
WHY IS THE DEUS EX STORY LITERALLY EXACTLY WHATS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THE REAL WORLD. WHY. LMAO I mean dude wth is this.? thats literally whats happening RIGHT NOW. ALL OF IT. THE PANNDEMIC. THE AI. EVERYTHING.
That thumbnail goes hard.
In the Myst books the main character comes to think they don't "create" worlds through writing. He thinks theres a multiverse of infinite possibilities and their writing connects them to the existing world they specify.
The bad guy thinks they create the worlds theough writing and has quite the god complex about it.
I really wanted to like Control. I felt the gameplay was too generic and the AI not very good. The setting was so interesting.
3:25 …………. werent no damn bats 😂
When I saw TES on the list, I was worried for a second, fully expecting to open the comments and find a 5 page detailed explanation why everything you said is wrong 😀
seems it's alright haha
Was Deus Ex written by a time-traveler?!
someone else who loves prey! it’s a game i recommend to so many and yet i know no one who’s ever played it😭
As someone really into the Myst series, I gotta make a slight correction to your lore. The antagonist of Riven Ghen (Atrus' father) indeed believes that the D'ni are like gods capable of creating the very worlds they link to. However Atrus has a different world view. Atrus believes the art of linking doesn't create the world but rather creates a gateway to a world that used to exist, currently exists, or will exist. Its difficult to say which one is actually correct. On the one hand, modifying the linking book has a direct affect on the world that people within the world can see happen and can stabilize or destabilize it showing an aspect of creation. However if there are significant modifications, the world seems to be on an entirely separate timeline which leans towards Atrus' theory of linking to preexisting universes.
Spoilers for the prequel book below
In the book Myst: Book of Atrus, it describes as Atrus and his father Ghen explore Age 37 (Ghen never gave his ages any names or used the names of the natives). One of the major features of the age was a giant wall of mist surrounding the island due to the warm temperature of the water around the island colliding with the cold water of the ocean. Ghen, annoyed at the native's superstition of the mist wall and trying to reinforce his image of being a god to the native residents of the age decided to make the ocean water warm to remove the mist. This did change the age, though it was rather disastrous by significantly reducing the ocean level and causing a drought. After arguing with Atrus about it, Ghen tried to "fix" Age 37 by striking out a bunch of the parts he had added rather than figuring out the underlying cause of the issues. When Atrus linked back to it after the "fix", he found it as if he and Ghen had never been there at all. None of the residents remembered him and were back to speaking their native language rather than D'ni as Ghen taught them. Basically by striking out the passages he did, Ghen linked to an entirely different version of Age 37 which gives credence to Atrus' theory that the books linked to preexisting realities.
So hard to say who is actually correct as there exists evidence for both positions.
04:09 In why the fuck does this sound like present day
Bioshock anyone?!
Engagement.
Video would’ve been cool with less ads but I can’t even finish this thing as is
Lowkey kinda bored of lore. Especially when series like fnaf.. only have lore with little to zero in game content
Dude, this is frigging great. Happy I found your channel!
Destiny not being mentioned is insane
Ans ofc there is no Neir Automata still vid is great
The Reapers aren’t just “an ancient synthetic race of ships”. They are a concept. They are death manifest. They are a cycle and an event that cannot be stopped. The harvest is inevitable. Embrace the end.
Amazing
You're mistaken about Fallout. The war was very clearly stated to be about resources, and the world was already at war over what was left of the fossil fuels.
The fact that Destiny is not included in this is criminal, the books of sorrow and unveiling alone make it worthy of this video.
I'm surprised the Metal Gear series isn't on this list.
Love the Prey shoutout. Whenever i get asked for an underrated game that can be purchased for dirt cheap Prey is always my first answer.
Wait chinese researc facility??
A part 2 be pretty awesome. Let it happen
You know what would be great is if a Chinese developer made the Chinese side of the fallout universe and play in something like fallout China.
this needs to become a series amazing work bro
