Mr Bain first contracted bowel cancer in but under treatment the disease went into remission.
She said she was "overwhelmed with grief. Bain was known for his love of indie video games versus the most popular ones. Twitch, which lets users stream gaming sessions, said in a tweeted statement about Bain, "John Bain's opinionated game critiques and sense of humor led to him becoming one of the most prominent voices in the gaming industry. The emote bearing his face represents the indelible mark that he has left on Twitch.
The BBC reports Bain was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in , but the disease went into remission before returning and spreading to his liver and spine.
Some people are going to hate it. And most of the time, the people who hate your game are going to be much louder than those who like it. Likewise, you have to be prepared for criticism. Professional critics exist in all types of art, and like fans, some will like your work and some won't.
The trick is not letting criticism get to you. It's highly recommended you don't do what the developer of Day One: Garry's Incident did, though. It tried to censor a critic , and in this case, that critic was TotalBiscuit. TotalBiscuit posted a video about Day One after, believe it or not, being sent a review code by that game's developer, Wild Games. When TotalBiscuit's take on the title wasn't favorable, the company took it personally, and filed a copyright claim on YouTube to have TotalBiscuit's video removed.
This unsurprisingly brought on a ton of backlash from TotalBiscuit's fans and the games press at large, and after a few weeks, Wild Games revoked its claim and allowed the video to be published once more. Game companies haven't just battled gamers over microtransactions these past few years. There have been some other major industry controversies, too, and TotalBiscuit is credited with bringing one of them to the forefront.
The company at the center of all the drama? It wasn't Electronic Arts or Activision like you might be guessing. It was actually Warner Bros. In the video game world, early copies of games often go out to press outlets, who then provide early critiques of the game in the form of previews and reviews. But what Warner Bros. Warner Bros. TotalBiscuit, through his connections, found out about the arrangement and put Warner Bros. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons first released back in , and featured an incredibly unique control scheme along with a very touching story.
You controlled two brothers in the game — one younger, one older — with the movement of each character mapped to a different joystick on your controller. And the game's puzzle solving mechanics made use of the two characters extensively, asking you to control their actions in tandem in order to progress.
TotalBiscuit compiled a roundup of what he considered to be the best games of , and Brothers had the distinct honor of being chosen as his top game for the year. But that wasn't all. He made mention of his earlier review of the game, in which he believed that, at the time, Brothers was one of the best games he'd played. At the end of , he felt comfortable doubling down on that belief.
The Mass Effect series — minus Andromeda , perhaps — is often held up as an outstanding achievement in gaming. The original trilogy was reviewed rather favorably , though some did take issue with the ending of Mass Effect 3.
