"Intentionally left blank" is common in technical manuals and classified documents. It is so you know you didn't miss a page if you make a copy/print it out.
Look at the top games of 2008 or 2014 then tell me this was a strong year for gaming.
Gacob Jeller
Continuing the tradition of people not being able to mention Horizon without mentioning Elden Rings or BotW in the same breath
Yes those games obviously are always said to be better, thats not the statement made here
Jacob's fear of Cold video has inspired my D&D campaign running Rime of the Frostmaiden. hard to believe it was nearly a year ago now… thanks for the recommendations Jacob! always nice to find a new favorite game when I watch.
I can't believe he didn't put Elden Ring in the top ten. What a farce!!! I mean, it could literally be the best game of the decade, and I can't believe Jacob totally missed the boat.
Gotcha!
Elden Ring is Zelda for adults.
2022 is good if you avoid triple A. This was a strong year for indie games. Much better than 2020 and 2021.
Hey Jacob I have been an more or less active viewer in the last year. Due to ADHD and me being a zoomer I have a pretty low attention span. I have tried to watch old films (1950) but always lacked the patience, although I love literature. My Taste in Video games is more action focused than anything else in the contrast to you who searches for deeper, hidden motives and meanings and I love you for that. But do you ever just have the primal fun of "Thing Go Boooom". In my wildest dreams, I couldn't imagine you playing something lile Just Cause or Teardown. Sorry for my english in advance.
I forgot silksong doesn't exist yet, thank you for reminding that reality(not really).
The bucket
Just recently got notification my poster shipped. Took em a while, but I'm looking forward to it decorating my wall. You're right, it's a damned good piece of art!
2022 was a really bad year for games. No one is talking about indie games. We're talking about gaming in general
If The Last Clockwinder is so original why is there a 2014 Minecraft Mod that does the same thing?: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQfPstWKNOI) Checkmate 😉
Im glad youre happy Jacob. I envy your life and Im happy you are in the world.
This was a really great year for games if you play indis. Triple A Wise it was a bit top heavy with Elder Ring, Horizon, GOW and Bayonetta 3….But with Sifu, Rogue Legacy 2, Neon White, Signalis, Cult of Lamb, Stray, Tunic and TMNT it was actually pretty good
No timestamps 🙁
Bruh I hope that Fortnite comment was a joke lol
For me the best 2022 game is Hyper Demon, and Devil Daggers too tho not released this year
Best MP game, tho not released this year, Deep Rock Galactic is just the best (also not predatory, has a free battlepass)
I am glad Signalis is getting the love it deserves, especially alongside its contemporaries like Faith: The Unholy Trinity and especially against the truly half-assed AAA horror games (RE Village DLC, The Callisto Protocol). Signalis is magical despite it being full of mystery box tropes and Myst-style puzzles. It reminds me of playing Silent Hill as a kid. Remembering what true horror felt like.
Wouldn't be a Jacob Geller video if he didn't remind everyone he's jewish
Back when the original Stanley Parable came out (the standalone, not the source mod) I remember that I loved the demo but felt underwhelmed by the main game itself, so it was kinda shocking when Ultra Deluxe somehow ended up being exactly what I originally wanted the game to be, even tho I can't put into words what that was.
It's probably one of those games that I'd definitely recommend to everyone but struggle to explain why beyond "it's the most game that has ever been", it's like an essay on game narratives told through the narrative of a game.
I crushed up Elden Ring into a fine powder, poured it into a bag and hooked that shit straight into my veins for 160 hours, then I got to the run of final bosses and just… stopped.
It was like an amazing 12 course meal that I couldn't stop eating, but by the time the waiter brought out the final dish, I was ready to burst. I wish I didn't eat it so quickly, because it was the best meal I've ever had, and I was so close to the finish line.
… now I'm mixing metaphors but whatever
Just here to say every name in Vampire Survivor is an Italian wordplay
no splatoon 3 🙁
Happy to see Norco on here. A man after my own heart.
Jacob Geller is a treasure.
JACOB. please tell me where that quote in the first line of the description is from, or if you wrote it yourself? Because it's so bloody evocative, and thematically similar to a thing that I've been writing, that it sent a chill down my spine.
Beautiful video. PSA is that the intro ends at 2:42, that's when the video starts for real
play roadwarden o.o
