Soulless creations Vs Games with soul. Guess which one is better

All right. Time for us all to get on the same level of terminology. Sometimes I say that the game is soulless and it can't be judged appropriately. Yes, some games have nothing but a dream of a big corporation for a profit. Some games are designed like the soulless meat-grinder that can decide who is the very best of them all, and some games are full of soul.

Where is this thing come from? How do we catch it? I have no idea really. All I know is that you can have a game with a soul. But how can one do that - that's the question for this episode.

Doom 3: How to make a solid game bad

Usually people try and make the best they can do. At least we all hope people try to strive for greatness. Not a lot of people try to make bad things, not a lot of developers try to make bad games. But bad games happen. And sometimes bad games happen with some of the absolute best and most known and loved franchises. And Doom 3 was one of those games.

How did this happen? How is it even legal? Who are we going to blame for that? All of those questions are not going to be answered in this episode, but we're going to dig through some of the most troublesome problems Doom 3 has.

And yes, we are going to mention shotgun. Hop in.

Saints Row 4, Quake 2: power fantasy doesn't always work

That was not an easy episode to make and I know that I took a lot of time to make it but I hope that it's all worth it in the end.

This time we get to the bottom of the power fantasy trope and we contemplate how bad is the power fantasy for the interactive media. Because I suppose it's not bad at all. It has its merit and doesn't deserve to be automatically shunned for being a power fantasy alone.

After all, what is fantasy without power in it?
