Here we have 2 content creators who seem honest to me, and who like RPGs. Mortismal is an RPG fanatic for sure. Mortismal says that for him it is the game of the year and MrMattyPlays that it is a disappointment.
At this point I think the game is just a matter of taste. So my advice is to try the game for yourself. That's what I'm going to do.

Mort is now deleting comments that are critical of him and his review. I have messages in my youtube inbox that route to no comment at all because he censored them. Truly a plummet from grace.

As she should. He should not be attacked for liking a game, the mob will now come for him, and he should deal with the mob the only way one can - with extreme prejudice.

Money is a powerful thing.

And the thing is, hard to blame him. I found his channel WAAAAAYYYY back and he had a small, but devote following but the guy definitely worked his ass off for literally no payment for years. Not many mortals can work hard for near a decade and not feel the overwhelming temptation to cash in once they finally "make it".

If anything hes short sighted for worrying about if companies like Ubisoft or Bioware care about him. There is a good chance neither of those companies will be around in a year or two, where as his credibility being tainted could be a long term loss. LOL

Ubisoft and BioWare are good game companies with an almost excellent track record, and aren't going anywhere soon lmao. This is such hater copium

*Starfield mentioned*

Where was he wrong? Not even Steam users rate it good.

If you go look at the biggest complaints about Starfield in the Steam reviews, it's just copy-paste nonsense from people who just parrot what Asmongold said in his 5 minute video or some ♥♥♥♥. Starfield isn't a great game, but it's definitely not a bad/trash game. It's a good game and that's actually good. Even going through the main story once, alone, more than justifies the price tag.

Two of my friends bought the Premium Edition and they never wanted to touch the DLC.

That's right, censorship is a good thing.

Thank god for making my enemies so ridiculous.

You wanna pinpoint the exact parroting? Ah who am I kidding you'll enjoy DA:V's writing just as much as you did for Starfield. Then again, you haven't picked up this game yet so I'll be waiting for that.

Even though Ubisoft sticks very close to their trademark design blueprint for every SP game they ever make? Even though there was a ton of recent controversy including rumours of them talking about a buyout? Then there's also:

- Skull and Bones

- Several failed live service titles

Should I say more?

I'm not a "tardcore" fanboy of Todd Howard. I said Starfield is NOT a great game. But it's also not trash. It's a good enough game. If I was a fanboy I would've been praising Starfield but I'm not. I dislike most Bethesday games, I'm being objective. You on the other hand seem to be one more mindless hater. It's the fashion these days but it's super unoriginal

- you are a fanboy, bub. You attacked and dissmissed opinions of people, who dislike Slopfield, thats a certified behaviour of emotionally immature fanboy. It is irrelevant if you consider it GOTY or flaved gem or whatever else, when your only defence of your object of worship is attacks on other people opinions - you lost. Thats it, nothing more.

This is without even delving in to a real meainig of the words like "trash" in the internet "discussions".

- thats a perfectly viable criticism, bud. If you personally dont like it, its your problem, as people are entitled to their own opinion and if your are 'tardcore fanboy of Tod Howard...

Starfield is horrible man. Somehow more loading screens than Fallout 4 , 8 years prior. Ironically for a space exploration bethesda game, starfield had to be the most blandest soulless game i've played in the last year

[Jaffer!]

Mortismal is a CRPG guy who likes the lore of DA but isn't a huge fan of the game. Matty is a huge fan of the series, but took a bit to warm up to the second and third DA games. It's possible that Matty has an idea of the type of DA game he wants to see and, because this one isn't it, he can't stand it. Mortismal, however, is just looking as this as another game without any preconceptions. Maybe he's able to judge it more fairly?

Regardless, I trust Mort as a reviewer. He and I have similar gaming tastes when it comes to RPG-style games.

[Diabolical Taco]

For me, I like what Mort tries to do, but he's also a little hard to trust for the simple fact he puts alot of emphasis on price of a game as a measure of value, and much of it seems related to game length. This isn't to say that's every review of his I've seen, but I have noticed that particular trend with him. Yeah, yeah, we can debate price vs quality, length, and all that jazz, but for the true hobbyists, price will matter, but not be a make or break on a purchase or sale timing. It's just not as important as other aspects.

I wouldn't call the guy a shill or anything; that's just disrespectful, but he does seem to go out of his way to not point out flaws in a blunt and straightforward manner. I don't remember all the details, but I recall his review of Forspoken, and while it was ultimately negative, his take on the MCs portrayal as homeless was a positive and the rest of his review sounded more favorable than, at least for my tastes, it should've been given what a trainwreck that game was.

I can't fault him too much for not liking DA:O. I put around 250 hours into it, and I still hate the combat to this day.

Mortismal seems like a decent guy, but he also gushed over Graven, a game that currently has a 59% Steam rating. So he tends to be very lenient when it comes to bugs or design flaws.

In any case, this is why you never buy week one. Let the YouTubers who didn't get early access codes play it and objectively review it free from panic over losing income.

Why is a 59% rated game a bad game? If anything that's what, 6/10? It means it's above average. It doesn't mean it's bad.

No, but his glowing praise means his opinions don't reflect the average consumer if more than forty percent of the intended audience found it unplayably bad.

I haven't touched the DLC either. It still doesn't mean the game is trash lol. (Btw I will return to replay it with the DLC at some point.)

Him giving "glowing praise" just means he's one of the 59% bro. What do you expect him to do? LIE? He loved that game, just live with it, damn. He's not the "average consumer" nor it's his job to be. (It's not even possible to be that.)

No I'm actually in my 40s. Learn to read, I wrote "almost excellent track record." Those companies have made hundreds of games, just because a few of them fell short doesn't mean the companies are now horrible or trash etc. Hell, out of what now, almost 10 Assassin's Creed games? Most have been solid, engrossing, entertaining as ♥♥♥♥. Only Unity was a disaster on launch. Same with the Far Cry games, only 6 was "mid", the other FC games were excellent.

Same with BioWare too. Some people didn't like Inquisition, big whoop, BioWare have like 30 excellent games under their belt, of those only Anthem had a bad launch (wasn't even such a bad game in its final state.) But most BioWare games have been the GOTY contenders or GOTYs themselves, who the ♥♥♥♥ cares.

Again, I said "ALMOST EXCELLENT track record."
