Holy shit that ad read is so good. Could you just upload that separate video to the second channel? You have outdone yourself.
Friendly reminder that when y comes to privacy, hosted VPNs are a scam. If you truly care, host your own dns (pihole), use an encrypted external dns (e.g. cloudflare) and take care about what sites you visit and what services you use (reject Google, Amazon, etc).
Treat everything Sseth or any other YouTuber says about express vpn with the same doubt that you’d use for literally any other ad.
ExpressVPN and NordVPN are both glowie ops
I wonder if you have played the original Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate from 1997 ?
@Not Turner Yup, and the vast majority of his audience has eaten it up hook line and sinker. Advertising seems to work best when the target audience has an unhealthy parasocial relationship with the advertiser.
I’m certain this man is responsible for 90% of GoG’s yearly revenue
@Pop Norbert And CDPR got me out of there, with their pandering to ESG…
I’ve been shopping on GOG for years now. Most people i know have been switching to GOG as well.
Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz the GoG CEO must be feeling thankful for his contribution.
@Gannon Patton I used gog before it was cool… because I am polish and knew about it before anyone else…
@Gannon Patton *one person
Seeth is a mad man, he got them to make a special AoW bundle just for him AND he also made available a fix for a game glitch. Truly an ascended being.
Congrats Sseth you’ve now become one of the few youtubers whose sponsored segments I don’t skip.
Internet historian and wilburger also have good ads. But most suck
Ahh yes! Time to obsess over a game for months on end and never even play it, Great review as always Sseth, always a glorious day when you upload.
Before Age of Wonders was released, some music tracks were shared on the developer’s website. The music of this game is so great, it made me shiver with anticipation. It was one of my most anticipated games of all time, and it did not disappoint when it was released!
Playing AoW 2 as a kid and then returning over a decade later to AoW 3 was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had
Absolute banger of a franchise
Personally I hated AoW 3, it was most boring game for me, with many issues and faulty mechanics.
I loved how they build on all AoW 3 features and fixed many mechanics when doing Planetfall, so while based on game worst for me, AoW:P turned out to be my second favourite, just behind beloved AoW1.
@koolunit thx
@ElderChicken Played it a bit, not as much as I would like to, but I think it’s nice. I like what they added, but feel like the overarched “story” of Planetfall doesn’t really have that strong narrative points AoW 3 and esp AoW 2 had. AoW 2 had a really personal story that resonated really well with the mastering of all spheres etc.
Planetfall feels like a Warhammer parody made for AoW fans, and I’m here for it, but would definitely like to see a bit more of the “edgy serious storyline” atmosphere that the predecessors tried to establish. I’m a narrative/story/worldbuilding nerd, so note that this is only my personal preference
Also note that I didn’t play any Planetfall DLCs yet
@qwertz ü If I may offer an answer: there are a great many unit packs at Steam, and the community made Shadow Realm expansion is an one of the best modding collabs/community driven packs I have ever seen. Adds the entire Shadow Realm back into the game!
im having the opposite experience starting from 3 and going back to shadow magic and 2. they still hold up
I remember playing age of wonders: shadow magic and having to stop because the AI can essentially ‘detect lethal’ on your faction leader during battles and not matter how esoteric the methods would manage to snipe my leader causing a game over.
I got too salty, but this video makes me want to try it again. Another great video Sseth!
This is unironically better than a lot modern games we have today.
I’ve slowly (really slowly it seems) begun to realize that ~90% of the time the less well-looking a game is, the better its gameplay actually is.
…And sadly enough, not nearly enough other people have realized that, which often causes those better-and-ugly games to not really sell particularly well these days, ultimately causing them to either be abandoned in development or at least not get any sequel or any new games afterwards from the studio which made them.
I still love you, Runers.
games were good before 2007
The expansion to the sequel to this game, Age of Wonders II: Shadow Magic, is a absolute masterpiece and i really hope Sseth would do a video of it one day.
Better pay him a lot of money
I had a friend show off the lunacy of this game and it was a thing of beauty. (Alas, I got in at the much more comparatively sane AoW3.)
Any time I even SUGGESTS he do the same for Shadow Magic, his response is a flat, ardent ‘NO’.
Spent hours playing AoW2 with friends
