Incline Hey hey people, it's the SsethTzeentach thread

Menail job sims like Factorio is you being an engineer and miner, but because of the immediate return of investment when doing something like building defenses, setting up new mines or building a processing plant means you are constantly having a high. It's like being powerwashed by dopamine.

Factorio is not a "menial job sim" since it allows a lot of creative freeway all around. Factorio and such are more like construction set games

Factorio also intersperses some good ole shooting immigrants space bugs amongst all of the autism.

 

[Tyrr]

In Factorio you start doing everything yourself, but the main goal of the game is to automatize everything. So you could say it's the opposite of these 'working sims'.

I also want to say that the last Sseth video is completely unfunny and boring

i watched his Dark Messiah review after this one, just to compare.
It was painfully obvious that this one is probably ordered by devs to boost sales or something similar, while Dark messiah was review he wanted to do.

I used to watch his "reviews" (more like shitposts) when he covered classic games such as HoMM series, Arcanum, Stalker, Deus Ex, making fun of various exploits and aspects of these games we all love. Nowadays he "reviews" too much obscure trash and games i dont give a shit about. Warthunder... World of Tanks, some legit faggot rpg called Bastard Bonds.

I mean wtf is this shit even?


His only video i watched and somewhat enjoyed in the last 2 years was the one about first Age of Wonders.

He's not writing his stuff anymore. Give it a few years and he'll probably just use AI and not even reading the script himself.

Prompt: Write a review for Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar in the style of SsethTzeentach

Greetings, my fellow gamers, and welcome to my review of Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar, a game that has been in development for over 20 years. Now, let me tell you, this game is a wild ride.

First of all, let's talk about the graphics. They're retro, and I mean old school. The game looks like it was made in the '90s, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The pixel art is charming and has a certain appeal to it, but if you're looking for cutting-edge graphics, then you're in the wrong place.

The sound design is decent, but nothing too special. The music is catchy and fits the game's atmosphere, and the sound effects get the job done. However, there's no voice acting, so you'll have to read all the dialogue yourself.

Now, let's get to the gameplay. Grimoire is a classic RPG, and it has everything you would expect from one. There's character customization, turn-based combat, a vast world to explore, and a story to uncover. However, the game's interface is a mess. It's clunky and not very user-friendly, and it's evident that this game was designed for hardcore RPG fans.

Speaking of hardcore, this game is tough as nails. The difficulty is punishing, and there's no hand-holding here. If you're looking for a challenge, then Grimoire will deliver. However, if you're not used to this kind of game, then you'll probably rage-quit after a few hours.

Overall, Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar is a flawed gem. It's not perfect, but it has a certain charm that makes it worth playing. If you're a fan of classic RPGs and don't mind a steep learning curve, then you'll probably enjoy this game. However, if you're looking for a modern, streamlined experience, then you should probably look elsewhere.

Sseth's job is safe, somehow GPT manages to be even more lame than his last reviews.
But it could get a gig at Kotaku or RPS, for sure.

Chat GPT is designed to churn out material that is the complete opposite of Sseth in every way, it would be impossible to recreate his kind of humour with an AI made in Current Year + n. The closest you can get is the guy that now edits and apparently (he claimed on his own channel) writes his reviews for him, problem is they're unfunny as hell as he seems to just lean in to whatever current memes he finds that week on reddit.

 

[catfood]

He reviews whatever gay ass zoomer game is popular among his retarded pay piggies. I'm surprised he even does stuff like that AoW review anymore.

 

[Caim]

I used to watch his "reviews" (more like shitposts)
[...]
I mean wtf is this shit even?

Answering your own question here, my dude.

 

[Eisen]

He needs to review more classics

 

[NecroLord]

Just fucking do Thief already.
Or any other classic game.
More classics, less retarded modern shit.

 

[Johannes]

why do you need reviews of games youve already played

 

[Heroic Liberator]

For the nuances you might've missed when playing the game yourself memes.

 

[NecroLord]

For the memes.

I used to watch his "reviews" (more like shitposts) when he covered classic games such as HoMM series, Arcanum, Stalker, Deus Ex, making fun of various exploits and aspects of these games we all love. Nowadays he "reviews" too much obscure trash and games i dont give a shit about. Warthunder... World of Tanks, some legit faggot rpg called Bastard Bonds.

I think most of it is stuff he's paid to review by either a whale or the developers. Every vid where he says there's no charge for it is a sponsored deal, I think.

I wonder how much they're offering to pay him, since he makes money per normal vid on Patreon, and that alone should be thousands, yet he rarely does that anymore.

 

[Sarathiour]

I don't buy the dev payin the sponso, he shits on the union storytelling that was included forcefully into the games. Apparently back in EA everyone was telling the dev that it was a terrible idea, but they did it nonetheless.

 

[lightbane]

^About that, shame Sseth doesn't make it more clear on the video: the game had for the final version long, unskippable cutscenes with pro-commie propaganda that wasn't there in the EA version.
Perhaps the video is boring because the game itself IS boring?

 

[Joggerino]

Started playing hardspace shipbreaker and then immediately saw the sseth review. I had the impression he only did the video to plug his sponsor, very unfunny overall. Not that there is much to joke about in the game, my experience was mostly getting absolutely triggered by how shameless LYNX is... Can you believe they charge you an interest on your debt??

Sseth isn't just one guy anymore. It's a team of people working on videos constantly. Happens when youtubers reach a certain subscriber number.

While sponsors do make sure you don't say retarded shit about their product on your video, but they more often than not are okay with some acid commentary because it's still publicity.

 

[Sarathiour]

My point is that the dev seemed butthurt about people saying that their idea suck, and therefore have an ego preventing them from paying a guy that is doubling down on their quirky criticism of capitalism still being shit.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Synthetik on sale for $2 on Steam.

As much as I like Sseth's vid's I didn't want to pay more than $5 for this. It was one of his first nothingburger vids for me. I'll give it a shot.

Sseth is big enough to have some creative control. That or maybe they paid him in advance. People do all sorts of dumb things online.

Could be that he liked it and played it though, sure, idk. A whale on Patreon could also have paid him, like I said. It's happened before iirc.

Its actually one of my favorite videos of his, you can tell the dude nonlifed it and lived by it.
