Classic totalbiscuit. 11 minutes in he stops going over the options

I don't know about you guys, but I like that.
If I'm going to play a PC game, I'd expect an options menu with actual options. It's good that he ALWAYS takes that into account.
This game looks promising (albeit slightly disappointing to our good ol' Thief vets)

To be fair, he does give you the option to skip it.

Ya but do you really need 11 minutes to show settings we see all the time, it happens in so many videos.
How deep can you get into whether or not a game has an AA setting or not?
At least he annotates where to skip to now.

Yes! Some people aren't that informed about video games and want to explore the options. A lot of people won't know the terms in the video options tab, so it is explained.
Why fix something that's not broken? He goes through the options menu thoroughly and even mentions it multiple times that you can skip it and in fact SHOULD if you don't give a heck.
His laugh at 22:43 was so interestingly creepy
I still dont really know what to think about this game. I haven't played the originals, and even when ignoring all the complaints from the thief fans, the game looks pretty...clunky.
Guess I'll have to wait a bit until it's released.
so when i've been saying how it looks like a good game i was right
huh.
I remember I made a post or two saying "hey it's prob for the best if you wait until the game's out cause it may be shit", and while I've only seen thirty minutes of it this is simply kickass and really deserves some money thrown at it cause it totally blew my cynical expectations away
Looks good to me! I'll get my hands on this eventually

Regardless of whether or not this will be a good game, I have to agree with him. More developers embracing such ludicrous amounts of options like this one has would only be a good thing.

While he is a PC-centric channel, he tries to be accommodating to people who aren't necessarily PC gamers, so he explains what the things do. And you can always skip ahead in the video. I don't really see a problem with it.
And to be fair, not that many games have as many options as this game has, at least in regards to HUD options and difficulty settings.
Also, this is me personally, but when I see reviews or footage like this and the person doesn't at least do a cursory glance at the options menus I do get a bit disappointed.
The first thing I do in any game is spend 5 minutes going through the option menus, most of the time I never change anything I just like to do it.

I always spend the first ten minutes converting the control scheme to ESDF because I'm a stickler.
So, concerning TB, Thief, and divided opinions, here is a related video that TB put out as a follow-up to cover such issues.

DmC was good though. Combat was very fun and enjoyable.

See the title of that video? That's exactly what you just said, you just took more words to say it.
[QUOTE=Jon MadN;44033757]"DmC I liked" stopped watching, burned pc to the ground.[/QUOTE]
That's unfortunate, because this video is what I consider to be a very cogent argument for why this kind of thinking is improper.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;44033923]DmC was good though. Combat was very fun and enjoyable.[/QUOTE]
Thats not an argument at all why is it fun and enjoyable I can just claim that Superman 64 is fun and enjoyable, since you didn't mention any other part of the game I assume you think they all suck (level design was decent untill it all became broken platforms in the sky past the 2nd level). Combat is a complete downgrade from all the games including the second one and added nothing new except Witch ti- I mean demon dodge wich breaks the game. Game has no difficulty doesn't reward varied combos which there isnt any off anyway. The game is just Heavenly Sword with a skin on it.

Why is it fun?
[QUOTE=Jon MadN;44034036]Why is it fun?[/QUOTE]
Because I was having fun when I played it. You don't need a reason to have fun, you just do.
Honestly you sound like the entirety of /v/ right now.

Well something about it must have been fun.
What was that something.
it looks good enough to try, but also slightly disappointing. I have yet to play it myself, but from what I'm seeing the maps can get very linear at times. especially the map he showed first, it seemed very limited.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;44034091]Well something about it must have been fun.

If you analyze everything you find fun to find out why it was fun then you must live a very dull and depressing life.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;44033923]DmC was good though. Combat was very fun and enjoyable.[/QUOTE]
That's... arguable.
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;44034101]If you analyze everything you find fun to find out why it was fun then you must live a very dull and depressing life.[/QUOTE]
How so? By knowing what I find fun I can find more similar products to have more fun. Sounds opposite of dull and depressing to me.
