Most stuff we grew up watching over here was ripped off of some foreign TV show. And they still do, even on Youtube there’s a lot of content that will be ripped off and people think it’s original.
You get stuck with that kind of thing when you only understand your native language.
In my home country of Germany, every other TV show is straight ripped from something that originated in the US, the UK or Canada. But it’s okay, because I found it quite interesting to discover the original shows once I was fluent enough in English and knew were to find those shows online.
I 100% agree, I think it is a great way to expand our appreciation for those other shows, since some of them (like the original office) don’t always make the transition easily between cultures.
To be 100% honest I was never the biggest fan of the construction / management genre, but I found this video so well made, that even made me want to give it a try
PS: I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but in the 3:50 minute, I don’t deny that at first I jumped back and then started laughing because I’ve been through something extremely similar. The only difference is that instead of a truck I almost hit the bike against a car
An interesting look into how someone who’ve never played games experience a handful of titles without any additional guidance than what the game gives.
I did a similar thing to a cousin of mine a long time ago and I recognize a lot of things in this video.
I want to watch this and like the concept, but my first experience of games I had a horrible person at my shoulder, constantly putting me down for “instinctively” knowing how to do things. Will save this for a later time…
I didn’t know where to put this. Crazy news or game-related youtube? But I think nobody noticed that Battlefield 5 did a thing.
For context, it was semi-boycotted because gamers didn’t like social justice aspects being put into their WW2 game. EA employees responses were pretty toxic including the infamous, “If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.”
This is apparently the “apology.” Though I don’t agree since I’m pretty sure the same rude employees are still working at EA. But if you needed a reason to buy the game, might as well.
