Synthetic Man

The Game Awards 2023 was absolutely terrible this year. Political propaganda, cringe, pointless celebrity appearances, and worst of all, a bunch of awful trailers for games I don't care about. #gameawards #syntheticman #thegameawards 0:00 Intro 2:30 Pre-Show 6:26 Opening Speech 7:37 Best Performance 9:12 Matthew McConaughey & Trailers 11:19 Best Narrative 11:58 Cringe & Trailers 13:29 Best Debut Trailer 14:00 New age of Sega 14:43 Dragon Ball Z Sparking Zero 15:55 More Trailers 16:34 Minor Award Categories 17:26 Slop 18:11 Kojima's New Game OD 19:28 Best Audio Design 19:52 More Slop 21:38 Games for Impact 22:25 SLOP OVERLOAD 24:09 Minor Award Categories 2 25:37 Anthony Mackie Cringe 26:05 Best Ongoing Game 26:52 Slop for Days 28:16 Maximum Cringe 29:54 Best Adaptation 30:40 Sean Murray's New Game 31:52 Best Action-Adventure Game 32:52 Minor Award Categories 3 34:22 Best Game Direction 35:47 Monster Hunter Wilds 36:11 Game of the Year 38:33 Conclusion

The Fallout TV show teaser trailer just dropped, and it looks like Amazon is going to ruin another great franchise. #fallout #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:50 Trailer Breakdown 11:40 Confirmed Political Messaging 13:51 Conclusion

A certain controversial figure just released a video game. I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to cover this, but I'm not going to let Youtube stop me. #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:09 The Forbidden Game 6:21 Spider-Man Web of Shadows

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the next Sony cinematic slop release. Another overhyped, overrated movie game full of leftist virtue-signaling and propaganda. One of my favorite childhood developers, Insomniac, is now dead. #spiderman #spiderman2 #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 3:48 Combat & Bosses 9:46 Sandbox & Side Quests 12:10 Web-Swinging 14:10 Woke Side Quests & Propaganda 22:13 Bugs 24:14 Story Synopsis 28:58 Ugly MJ Rant 31:01 Bad Dialogue Compilation 32:13 Story (Continued) 35:46 Black Cat Rant 39:11 More Story 41:27 MJ Stealth Mission Rant 43:25 Story (Act 2) 50:37 Black Suit Peter Rant 52:32 Even More Story 54:08 The Best Scene in the Story 56:31 Act 2 Climax 59:57 The Best Mission (Venom) 1:03:32 Power Level Rant 1:04:30 Act 3 1:05:24 Scream Boss Feminist Rant 1:08:54 Act 3 (Continued) 1:10:16 THAT Line 1:11:24 Yet More Story & MJ Mission 3 1:13:52 Final Boss & Epilogue 1:17:13 Conclusion

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is out, and I hate it. So, let's reminisce about some legitimately good Super Hero games. #spiderman #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 2:58 Spider-Man 2 (2004) 7:18 The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction 9:45 The Punisher 13:06 Other PS2 Games 13:37 Prototype 15:20 Infamous 1&2 16:59 Batman Arkham Games 18:06 Other PS3 Games 19:24 The Decline 22:23 The Fall 26:34 Conclusion

Assassin's Creed Mirage is supposed to be a return to AC's roots, but much like COD's "Boots on the ground" marketing, it's a lie. That said, it's not a bad game, just more mediocre Ubisoft slop. Add in some Woke Girlbosses in 9th century Iraq and you have a game most people should avoid. #assassinscreed #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 2:03 Combat 7:13 Stealth 11:08 RPG Mechanics 16:16 The Sandbox & Side Quests 18:06 The Story & Wokeness 25:24 Ending Spoilers 28:26 Conclusion

Starfield is out, and is worse than I could have possibly imagined. So, let's get down to business and review this slop. #starfield #syntheticman 0:00 Pain Compilation 3:49 Intro 10:50 Technical Issues 12:45 Gameplay - Shooting 18:16 Gameplay - Loot & Swimming 22:24 Gameplay - Space Exploration & Ship Combat 28:15 Character Creator & Pronoun Controversy 34:12 Skill Trees 36:20 The World of Starfield 42:39 The Ugly NPCs & Wokeness 49:06 Quest Design & Player Choice 53:04 The "Evil" Faction 54:26 Faction Quests 1:00:30 Side Quests & "Cutscenes" 1:08:35 The Main Quest (SPOILERS) 1:15:00 New Game Plus 1:17:38 Conclusion

Armored Core 6 is out, and From Software "fans" are not happy. This game has been a colossal filter for the "press circle to win" crowd. I like the game, but it is too simplistic and the difficulty is very inconsistent. #armoredcore #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:38 Basic Gameplay 3:28 Mech Customization 5:05 Gameplay (Continued) 7:13 Boss Fights 13:05 Mission Structure 15:30 Story 16:35 Conclusion

Baldur's Gate 3 is a good game in spite of its various flaws, but it could've been amazing. Unfortunately, it's full of subversive politics and obnoxious companions. It's also blatantly unfinished, which for some reason none of my fellow anti-woke youtubers have brought up. So, let's talk about the death of immersion in fantasy games. #baldursgate3 #syntheticman 0:00 Modern Devs are Idealogues 2:00 Fantasy is the Ultimate Escapism 7:15 Obsession with Politics 9:19 Baldur's Gate 3 is a Good Game 11:47 BG3 Cut Content Spoilers 15:13 Modern Politics is Cancer 16:56 Developers are Creating Escapism for Themselves 18:54 BG3 Should Be like Classic Fantasy 21:03 Fantasy I Grew up with 22:34 What I Want 24:33 Modern DnD & Critical Roll 25:56 FF16 27:24 Conclusion

Baldur's Gate 3 has somehow amassed over 800,000 active players on steam. Does it live up to the hype? Is it Woke? Well, find out in this Review, Analysis, Breakdown, does anyone read the description anymore lol? #baldursgate3 #dnd #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 4:57 Character Creation 12:13 Act 1 18:05 The Party 24:53 Karlach Quest Fail 28:06 WOKE/CRINGE Compilation 37:56 The Combat 52:20 NPC Interactions & Player Choice 58:18 Act 3 Spoilers 1:06:31 Conclusion

The Barbie Movie is legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's not just woke, but genuinely a poorly written, misandrist propaganda piece. Greta Gerwig is yet another delusional militant feminist who hates men. So, let's dive into this crap film in this review, analysis, whatever. #barbie #barbiemovie #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 2:21 Act 1 10:47 Act 2 18:55 Act 3 29:05 Conclusion

Darksiders 2 is nearly a decade old, and I reviewed the first a couple years back, so what better time to review the sequel? Has it held up? Is it the superior game? Find out in this review, retrospective, video essay (lol), relevant search term here. #syntheticman #darksiders #zelda 0:00 Intro 1:43 What is Darksiders? 5:35 Combat Mechanics 15:10 Loot System 18:10 The Forge Lands (Story & Dungeons) 28:26 Kingdom of the Dead & Dungeon Rant 34:04 Act 3 41:18 Side Content & Bugs 45:04 Conclusion

Trepang2 is a fast-paced FPS with lite horror elements like the original F.E.A.R. You play as a super-soldier with the ability to slow down time and turn invisible. It's pretty good, if a bit bare-bones.

Final Fantasy 16 could've been a good game. The combat is fun, which is often the most important part of making a a good game. But this is a JRPG. People play these games for the story, and this story sucks. #finalfantasy #finalfantasy16 #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 3:19 Combat Mechanics 8:50 Boss Fights 15:02 Story & Characters 19:47 Grimdark & Kingdom Hearts Don't Mix 23:33 Quests & Level Design 25:04 Conclusion

People like Comment Response Videos, and I am a man of my people. So, let's take a look at some "criticisms" of my video by the most easily offended userbase on the internet. #tearsofthekingdom #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 5:16 The Comments 17:19 Conclusion

After putting over 60 hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I really don't get why people think this is a Masterpiece. It's a good game, yeah, and improves on Breath of the Wild in a lot of ways, but I can't shake off the feeling that I just bought the same game AGAIN. Is it just a DLC? Is it a complete overhaul? Is it worth $70? Let's find out. #tearsofthekingdom #legendofzeldatearsofthekingdom #syntheticman Zelda and Ganondorf thumbnail art by Liv Dherr (if you have a problem with me "borrowing" your art, feel free to hit me up on my email and we can work something out) 0:00 Intro 3:30 Combat 12:58 Open World & The Tutorial 17:33 The Story & Conspiracies 23:32 Open World (Continued) & The Segway 31:02 The Shrines 33:37 The Sky Map & The Chasm 37:43 The Temples & Final Boss 47:02 Cool Quests/Moments & Minor Issues 52:10 Conclusion 58:49 State of the Channel

Sony's Playstation Showcase 2023 has wrapped up, and it was barely passable. Out of over 20 games shown, only 3 looked good. Not to mention, most of the games weren't even exclusives. #spiderman #dragonsdogma2 #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:21 The Showcase (No point in separating this into chapters lol) 22:05 Conclusion

Star Wars Jedi Survivor runs like poopy for pretty much everyone. But because everyone has talked about that already, I might as well just review the game normally. #starwarsjedisurvivor #starwars #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:47 Combat Mechanics 9:58 Platforming/Puzzle Filler Tangent 11:55 Janky Controls & Bosses 18:08 Judging the Gameplay 21:16 Story, Characters, Fanservice 24:17 Conclusion

Crowbcat released his Resident Evil 4 Original vs Remake comparison video...and people are not happy. He took a controversial stance and suggested that the new game is Soulless, which is a bit extreme, even for me. So why am I defending him? Similar to free speech advocates, I will defend controversial opinions because I am tired of the modern youtube landscape full of shills and the Zoomer NPC hivemind. That said, I will still give his video some critique. #residentevil4 #syntheticman @crowbcat 0:00 Intro 3:01 Intro Sequence Comparison 4:23 Graphics, Ambiance, and GmanShills 8:08 Cutscenes Comparisons 10:51 Krauser Critique 11:50 Death Animations 12:32 Why I Prefer the Original 14:01 My Main Critique 16:54 Conclusion

Resident Evil 4 (2023) is actually good. I'm shocked, honestly. Is it as good as the original? Not to me, but I never expected it to be. It stands on its own as a pretty solid game. #residentevil4 #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:17 Capcom's Greed 5:50 Core Gameplay 20:02 Level Design, Enemies, Bosses 29:08 Story & Characters 38:33 Professional Difficulty 42:48 Conclusion

Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest games ever made. It really didn't need a remake, maybe a bit of a graphical facelift at most. So, let's reminisce about a better time in gaming history one last time before it's "re-imagined". #residentevil #residentevil4 #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:57 Core Gameplay 6:43 Level Design 9:26 Ashley Graham 10:48 The Camp-y Tone & Story 14:28 Bosses & Enemy Variety 18:40 The Finer Details 21:08 Bonus Content 25:26 Conclusion

HBO's The Last of Us Season 1 has just wrapped up, and of course, Druckmann screwed everything up. I guarantee the "normies" or casual gamers will think it's a great adaptation just because the show recreated some scenes nearly 1-to-1. As always, the Devil is in the details. #thelastofus #hbomax #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:10 Brief Thoughts on Ep 1,2,3 2:01 Episode 4 & 5 7:13 Episode 6 11:03 Side-by-Side Scene Comparison 14:06 Gameplay and Storytelling 17:01 Episode 8 19:27 The Finale 27:50 Conclusion

Sebastian Sallow is very passionate about Goblins... #hogwartslegacy #syntheticman #memes

Atomic Heart is strangely disappointing. It feels experimental in a way I haven't seen in years, unfortunately it's just not very fun. I can respect the insane amount of effort that went into this game's visuals, soundtrack, and weird puzzles, but the combat gets boring pretty quickly. #atomicheart #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:57 Early Game Combat 4:59 Story, Characters, Visuals 10:38 Level Design 12:40 Neighborhood Level & Infinite Enemies 16:49 Open World & First Boss 19:31 Atomic Heart vs. Bioshock/Wolfenstein 22:05 Mid-Game Combat & Arenas 27:46 Conclusion

Hogwarts Legacy is actually pretty good. Not amazing, but I actually was enjoying myself for a while there. It has a lot of problems that modern games have but it has a unique appeal as an immersive Harry Potter experience. It's also secretly based under a mountain of cringe. #hogwartslegacy #syntheticman 0:00 Intro 1:59 Core Combat Mechanics 7:43 RPG Mechanics and Enemy Variety 10:22 Main Story, Characters, and Quests 16:38 Politics and Unintentional Basedness 21:16 Side Quests and Open World 26:29 Conclusion
