It's really minor, but this might be the closest Ross got to being woke. I don't think it counts, but it did catch me by surprise. Although his glee earlier in the episode about killing slavers, combined with our happy merchant above, contrasts with Dr. Freeman talking about how slavery should be brought back but have it on a lottery system in an early FM episode (again, Dr. Freeman != Ross). Not to mention his mini-rant about the vampire wearing skimpy clothing. I'm probably reading WAY TOO deep into this.
Tbf, this character really sticks out considering he's in a dwarven town, though it might be a recurring character throughout the game.
I'll be 100, it used to bother me and it can sorta drag if you're binge watching freemans mind, outside of that, not an issue.
It's okay guys: Ross Scott on his most recent Twitch fan QnA (July 2022) said he doesn't like the sound of his own voice either.
Maybe he's almost done with his backlog of games he barely played or almost played 20 years ago, but since he covered The Division he's opened up to newer, way less obscure games which makes it odder he'd still dedicate an hour long episode to this. He still did a good job with it even with how shit it is.
This game came out after C&C and Warcraft.
i disagree and think the weird stupid old games i've never heard of make for some of the best episodes
I agree when the game is something to really look at in awe of it's bizarre nature or if Ross has a personal story relating to it. In this case it's a game he vaguely remembers playing once, and the game itself while it has some interesting graphics, it's not enough for the hour and there's no real attempt at a plot. He still worked with it as well as he could but I don't see this video being very rewatchable.
I think the AVGN should append to his list of most important things about video games: "Number two, being able to fucking see them"
