Adventure Game Tier List: Bonus Number Crunch Video
hey team! here is the video about "what twelve means." currently for your eyes only - the version that goes up on Nebula will have some audio leveling and proper end credits, but I wanted to get this version off to y'all early. :)
ironing out sponsorships for the supercuts and the next Protagony, not sure when they'll go public, but it should be soon-ish.
also haven't figured out this year's quantifica. been too busy with the "making videos" part of my job, which... maybe should tell me something? we'll see what I cook up for this year.
anyway, enjoy!

If this is useful info for your data analytics, I want you to know that I subscribed mainly because I went to watch the number crunching video again and realized it wasn't on Nebula
What I want to know is how much more-or-less wrong AdventureGamers was as a function of nostalgia; basically separate all of the sierra/lucasarts sequels and lucasarts-alumni-projects from everything else and compare. Eyeballing the list, I think it comes out in the wash (only one of the F-tier was like that), but would be interesting to re-run the numbers to determine HOW much nostalgia-distortion there has been historically.
If you're interested in determining what an exceptionally unreliable critic looks like, I think Armond White would be a good case study. Also, this was another reminder for me that 2019 was probably the best year for video games.
You could have just told me their ruling on Disco Elysium alone and I would know, with 100% certainty, that they are unreliable. That is BONKERS.
I have no idea what any of this means, but it's hilarious and I love it.
Excellent :D
Why? Just 'cause. :)
That's what I said!
LOOM?!! HOW DARE THEY NOT BE MILLENNIALS ENOUGH what a game. Also, Monkey Island 1 🤌 🤌 🤌
I do agree about Outer Wilds and I much preferred it to DE.
I am so confusion.
But don't waste your time explaining 😂
And with that, my spreadsheet of the series is complete. I might add Death of the Reprobate and Disco Elysium at some point in the future (since I put the ranking of the year 2025 CE on the list) but for now the math is complete, and that's what counts (no pun intended). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I_4aFdijwLfs57A0zbHCXaUe-v-CApPe-FWXDeJ3HFg/edit?usp=sharing
I wonder if there are any statisticians in the community who could weigh-in on the methodology? The possibility of a -6 when the best score is a +5 suggests a negative bias to me, but I'm no statistician. Anyway, I enjoyed it! What's not to like about a completely contrived mathematical take-down of a defunct review site?
-6 can only happen in exceptional cases, and most subtractions happen in smaller increments than additions, so I think it roughly evens out
