How come game analysis youtube channels seem to go downhill over time? You would think that if you did something for *years* you would get better at it not worse

>He sucks off game journalists to get himself good with the SJW blue check marks of Twitter

Yikes

>game analysis youtube channels

In the case of bunnyhop, it's clear that he has aspirations of being a legitimate journalist which explains the turn his stuff has taken lately. I really miss his regular reviews without "muh investagative journalism" and him sitting in front of a terribly lit green screen all the time but at least he's still watchable.

When you make your first video its because you had something interesting to say that nobody else had said before. When you make your hundredth its out of obligation

You do something as a hobby for years, hobby gets sucsessful and starts making money, you quit your job to do your hobby full time, it's great for a year, money starts running out, inspiration starts coming less frequently, you find yourself riding on trends you don't care for in order to pay the bills that month, all the fun of your hobby starts getting drained and what was once fun becomes monotonous and painful.

MrBTongue did it best by dying quietly without even making a patreon.

>having this playing in the background while playing vidya or shitposting.
I doubt anyone that is actually watching this shit is doing so voluntarily especially if it happens to be those bloated 2+ hour autism marathons.

How come all the decent game essay channels are left-inclined? The only good video about RoR I find and it's this Ragnar guy masturbating over le bourgeois for half of the video.

Because started as a something that wanted to do and overtime changes to had to do to live.
Bunnyhop was great until he made the patreon. Then it changed to be a job and not something wanting to do.

Conservatives dont know how to use computers

why is a thread about youtubers on a video game board?

whatever fame they get goes to their heads and they inevitably hit some kind of scandal or drama
>projared cheats on his wife and takes a hard hit he'll probably never recover from
either that or they just stop being interesting and fall into a rut of the same repetitive shitty jokes and behaviors
>egoraptor (to some extent, see sequelitis) has been on the game grumps grind for years longer than he has any business with
Arin's a bit of a different case, sequelitis was the only game anlysis he did, but he's still a prominent youtube game guy that's total dog shit

its "videogame culture" whatever the fuck that shit means. if faggots need an excuse to gossip they need to go and read womens magazines.

Just because he reports on stuff happening in the industry doesn't mean he's pushing an agenda you cucko

>he's still watchable
I disagree, I haven't been able to sit through one of his videos in months

the best analyses are structured specifically for each game. just as in designing a game aesthetics, music, writing tone, pacing, level design and others are all looked at and picked for the sake of making the best final game, so it goes for the best analyses.
problem is this is mentally taxing and time-consuming. so people end up using the same analysis structure they originally used for some other game and start using it for every other game.

first analyses are like writing poetry.
later analyses are like writing schaffer paragraphs.

Reality has a liberal bias conservitoddler

>patreon
I stop watching anyone that hints at this desu.

SBH is still good though. His latest eva and MGS video was classic george
there's little to no difference in his style or content since like 2013. The only difference is that he uploads less frequently. He still makes dragoncon videos

>was classic george
Actual cringe fucking eceleb garbage

mr btounge's last video was about spec ops the line critiquing violence in games, he's dead to me even if he comes back after putting out that pedestrian shit

His content absolutely has changed, it's all just shilling for VR, nonsense about the industry and games """journalism""", and life blogging shit. The last review was 7 months ago. I didn't like the Eva video either, it was pretty obviously one of those "guy who hates anime talks about anime" or "guy who has never watched mecha other than Eva talks about mecha" videos which I find pretty insufferable.

>eceleb
i've legitimately never seen him do anything but meet fans at cons and occasionally stream. Not sure what you mean by the buzzword

Youtube simply cant pay people well anymore so patreon is pretty much the only reliable way people who dont have 10 million + subs

i can put up with him being greasy.
i can put up with him doing some really flat-feeling bad acting mock-classroom Q&As.
but both is too much.

Complicated systems tend to degenerate over time or go through metamorphosis.

In George's case, it's a weird situation where being afforded the time and funding to pursue the topics he's passionate about have made his videos more boring.
Seriously, I preferred when he would just review games.

>it's all just shilling for VR
Shilling? He made like 2-3 videos on VR like 2 years ago around the time RE7 came out
>nonsense about the industry and games """journalism"""
such as? that one about QA testing was cool, I dunno how you hate on something like that as games "journalism" in the same vein as polygon
>life blogging shit
literally when
Also pretty sure george has watched a bunch of boomer anime + late 90s/mid 2000s from the references he makes and games he plays. Not saying you have to like his content, but what you've said here is a very clear exaggeration. He makes fewer reviews, sure, but this is the style he's always had

the MGS4 video was just one video user

here, this graph will help you comprehend

Most analysts typically have just one genre/subject that they are really, REALLY knowledgeable or have really good points about, whether it be shitting on it or promoting it. Then they let it get to their head and the further and more they venture outside of this subject, the more they slowly show off how ignorant and retarded they are in other areas.

For an example outside of Yea Forums: Red Letter Media really knows their shit about Star Wars. But then when they get into other movies or even just making their own movies, the tend to show off that they're just grumpy boomers who don't really "get" it. This is especially the case for that time they made the mistake of getting into video games.

>defending some youtubefaggot
lol what are you in one of his cock sucking discords or something bro?

this, he used to have something to say

now its just
bleh

>this

It’s hard to say something substantial about a game unless you’re quite familiar with it and it’s genre.

no but people say the weirdest things to justify their opinion. I don't care if you don't like the channel, but saying something like shilling for VR is blatantly false lmao
I personally think his videos are comfy to watch before or after writing papers

>comfy
just digging that hole deeper bro

>muh investigative journalism
What do you mean?

I'm only going to talk about the videos he's made in the last year
>shilling?
Nintendo should make old games VR, some VR indieshit review, "buy PSVR for your PC goyim"
>such as?
QA testing, media literacy, unions shit
>literally when
All of the "my trip to japan" videos
Doesn't sound like much but when he's made like 15 videos in the last year those are a large chunk of them
>pretty sure george has watched a bunch of boomer anime
You're full of shit, he spergs out about how he doesn't like anime in like every episode of the podcast

Not him, but what's wrong with comfy?

then why are niggers still stupid no matter how many gibsmedat you let them have

he probably said something he disagreed with, so there is bad

The only video game related Youtubers I know where their content stayed the same for over a decade if not better are Mega64, LGR, and AccursedFarms. Usually when someone gets big in the early days of Youtube they eventually lose their touch of inspiration and creativity like JonTron or Cinemassacre but the channels I've listed are still going strong probably because they're genuinely cool people that don't let fame go to their heads.

Basically except ironically. Most liberals give in to media consumerism and wind up just consuming, then they grow up and become part of the chain. Meanwhile conservatives tend to abandon those pursuits in favor of self-sustainability and maintaining neighborly and moralistic relationships.

If you listened to the podcast you would know it took like literally a year or longer to convince George to use any type of vr at all. He just like s it a lot cause he basically just jumped into that scene and likes it. Mattvisual if anyone is the real VR shill, he’s been playing it longer than either of them and buys or used to buy the most expensive high end products. He’s just low key about it.

Why do you watch people analyze games instead of doing it on your own? They're just games, you don't need a postgraduate degree to think about why you think something is good or not

howling

I'm not saying he's literally being paid by VR companies it's just obnoxious how he really really likes talking about this shitty memetech

I really don't think he's shilling in the way you're trying to sell me on. Liking VR for old games + some new ideas != shilling
>QA testing, media literacy, unions shit
Yes but I fail to see how these videos are different from the old gamergate video or how they're bad in general
>All of the "my trip to japan" videos
Oh, the ones on restaurants and arcades. Those were mostly about video game fan culture in japan if I recall correctly. I don't remember any blogging. The only thing that came close was the cut of him at a karaoke bar at the end of one video
>You're full of shit, he spergs out about how he doesn't like anime in like every episode of the podcast
I remember that one incident when a fan asked him to watch the stupid gamers anime, but hasn't george talked a lot about toonami shit and all that? I always got the impression he didn't watch anime past college

People become shittier as they get more influential/rich/famous

yeah ok man

I don't think any of them are

the same reason why most channels go to shit after a while, youtube prioritizes pumping out videos like a factory and eventually you run out of ideas or reach burnout

the same shit here, you eventually run out of fresh or interesting takes for vidya but feel obligated to pump them out anyways to remain relevant in the algorithm

>shitty memetech
I'm not a fan of VR and won't be using it anytime soon, but it's fun seeing interesting shit come out for it. I think it's enough of a novelty that during our lifetimes (probably like 30-40 years later after extensive arcade style room use) it'll be well studied enough for good games.

If anything super bunny hop got better over time. Everyone and their mother does video game reviews, that’s what put bread on the table for him before he can make content he actually wants. Playing the latest/ most popular video games and reviewing them is boring as fuck, and although he used to have some interesting viewpoints he seems way more adept at journalism than actual video game reviewing.
I mean who else is covering video game Unionization, treatment of beta testers, Japanese game bars failing, or how video game companies hide their taxes. He’s a liberal cuck sure whatever, but when he gets to the meat of an issue nobody really covers it like he does or even sheds light on the story he tells. I like philosophical waxwings on gears of war or whatever but that gets stale after awhile.

>His latest eva and MGS video was classic george
It's the worst video he's made. He probably knows it too.

Attached: 1545091930816.jpg (707x920, 82K)

>I fail to see how these videos are different from the old gamergate video
Just because he made a single video about the topic years ago doesn't mean that the overall type of stuff covered on the channel hasn't changed
>how they're bad in general
I didn't say they were objectively bad, I said I didn't like them and they're different from the kind of stuff he used to make
>podcast
He talks about not liking anime literally every time it's brought up and the first time he actually rattled off a bunch of classics and said he didn't like any of them.

A lot of them are conservative in their mindset, even if they vote blue. Such as thinking that not being a macho all the time will turn them gay.

Shitty in that their new and as refined in their systems as 3D games were before Mario 64 and z locking in Zelda sure, but their are some experiences on their that you won’t get on your super high end pc or your switch unless you had VR like super hot or military milsims. Their kinda jank but they do provide something different, for s video game reviewer who had to play every game for years to keep a float on YouTube, I can imagine being different is enough for him to gravitate towards something. You know, instead of playing street fighter 7 or Assad is creed kart racing or whatever

they need to think like that because a lot of them are fuckin gay

Nah, I just don't care about half the shit he "investigates".

Yeah he literally quit just about every popular anime and doesn’t like them. Evangelion he only likes cause it’s weird.

i support unions but the people who make video games are worse than pedophiles and should be treated like shit from cradle to grave

Why

George's content has maintained its quality. His left wing politics have become more obvious, but that isn't a problem if you A) are yourself left wing or B) are capable of handling the fact that someone disagrees with you. The only thing that I'd say has gone downhill is that he rarely does longform analyses anymore, with the last one being the MGS4 one, but those haven't been the focus of the channel for a long, long time anyway.
because the right wing can be divided into boomers with no computer knowledge (traditional conservatives), and edgelord types who value shitpost-style content over "serious" critique. The more reasonable centrist type of right winger is unlikely to pursue a media career, and the few who do are "leftist passing"

you're meant to say "based"

Money.

I kinda have 2 points as to why they get shit over time:

1) They reached a level of popularity where they could fart into a mic and their retarded subscribers will clap

2) They befriended pretty much every other popular person in their specific field of YT content, so there is no competitive sense, no need to one-up others doing the same kind of content.

>Keeps taking trips to japan to go to game cafes and pachinko parlors
>Constantly making videos about the industry and journalism

Is he gonna leave the US or something?

Attached: VZUJzU4.png (310x551, 287K)

Depend what you mean by that. He went to what makes money, to doing what he actually wants to do via freedom of money to do so

Yeah that’s where I feel the vinesauce crew is at. Their as funny as always and do entertaining stuff, but at some point your going to run out of glitched games and quirky homade stuff. Can they really see themselves doing yet another super nintendo rom hack video or whatever for the next 6 years?

Conservatives often don't play or make video games and generally have no creative thoughts or capacity for introspection in general.

Because game journalists and pretentious vidya analysts are retards, of course they're leftists.

Depends pretty heavily which Vinesauce people you mean. It's possible Vinny will actually never run out of shitty stuff to play since he only plays them for a few hours a week, there's a constant stream of new garbage being made all the time, and he has a team of autists dedicated to finding him things.

B-but...what about me?

if i lick my monitor hard enough i can taste the irony

More or less I agree, but the will to do it should break at some point. I would expect a transition to vlogs, or some interactive podcast, or something scripted at some point. Super mario “insert inside joke” meme edition 64 is so tired

I don't really agree, by all accounts he views streaming as leisure and his style hasn't changed much at all for like a decade. He actually did have a podcast a while ago that he cancelled and he already got tired of shitty Mario hacks so he just doesn't really play them anymore.

nobody:
right wingers: i lick my monitor regularly

In the case of Bunnyhop, it's because he's not a real person. The moving mass called George Wiedman (or something like that) doesn't really exist. He's just a collection of "neat ideas" and memes from /r/games etc.

Fuck this nigger for putting ads in the middle of his videos. If you're getting so much patreon money that you drastically slowed down the rate at which you put out content you don't need to put ads in the video itself. At the very least he could either put it all at the front or the end so I can skip it more easily.

yes, potato fucker is our boi

>SBH has a Patreon
>Shills Skillshare and Dollar Shave Club

Doesn't that defeat the point of Patreon?

Being an incestigative journalist is expensive

So I think that we can ALL agree that video game analysis channels have dropped in quality lately, right? Aside from MatthewMatosis, who's even making good content these days?

Somebody has to pay for his VR shit, Nintendo Labo and constant trips to Japan.

Do Mandalore and Ross count as analysis? I could see arguments either way but they're both still good

How much more insight can two people give when talking about Jack and Jill and Marvel movies? Jack and Rich are bottom tier when it comes to game commentary but Mike clearly knows his shit when it comes to film and not just Star Wars.

Also, Half in the Bag is just them talking. The only scripted reviews they ever did were the Plinkett ones, and those are definitely very well thought-out.

Being self employed ruins your motivation and creativity.

He also needs to stop making videos where he just talks at the camera, you greaseball ass is not visually interesting man. Compare the recent video about the Sims to the old video game book adaptations video.

People only care so much about so many things and when they run out of things they're passionate about they struggle to stay relevant.

Spoony is a prime example, he did his piece on all the games he played growing up, Ultima, FF, various FMV PC games, then once he did those he didn't know what to do with himself anymore and quickly found himself fading into irrelevancy. Weebman here is the same he did his Metal Gear videos gained a following and then didn't know what to do with himself anymore.

It's hard to write a good analysis for something you didn't spend 10+ years of your life analyzing in excruciating detail. The kind of insights people want from these videos only come from the hardest of the hardcore fans, people who eat and sleep this shit for all their developing years. So when they try to adapt their style to that game they only dumped 300 hours into last month you quickly find they don't actually have all that much to say because they haven't had those years to strew on it and analyze from every possible angle. Youtube and the money you get for your 1,000,000 view video essay convinces them they have a future making video essays but the truth is they only really had maybe a dozen videos in them before they exhausted all the things they care about enough to make meaningful content. To be a successful video personality you've got to have a nat20 in charisma then anything you apply yourself to get that charisma bonus even if the content isn't good, people will just want to see and hear you talk and you'll get 500k a video for nothing. Meanwhile your pasty basement dweller who spent his formative years thinking about video games isn't going to be that guy, he's never going to be that guy, he can try to be that guy but he'll never see the success of someone like that and inevitably they'll run out of good stuff to talk about and people won't stick around to listen to the shit they do talk about because they won't have anything meaningful to say.

Eva isn't even really mecha. Not so much in the literal sense that they're not really "robots," but nobody who watches that show gives one shit about the "mecha" in it, they're mostly in it for the characters and the weird shit. /m/ hardly ever talks about Eva and it's daily discussion to this day on Yea Forums.

You didn't invent that Arin, you fat fuck

>muh gommies

nigger

Why do you enter threads to discuss a game on Yea Forums? It's identical to reading someone's opinion online, except in this case you keep track of the good ones and return to them for novel takes on games you've played. Sure, there are people who idolize these people and act like disciples for their game opinions, but those are in the minority and everyone realizes how stupid that group is.

Why was it so bad?

Metal Gear owes way more to Votoms specifically to the spinoff series Mellowlink than it does Evangelion.

Usually his videos add some sort of insight.
Insight meaning something he saw from his own experience, that is unique to his experience between EVA and MGS. The comparisons lacked depth and only pointed out superficial things like:
>Oh hey they both had robots
>Oh hey the design style changed from blocky to smooth
>Oh hey the have the same kind of outtros
It's a list and not really anything worth mentioning. If people posted the same kind of content on Yea Forums, they would say, so what? or post counter-examples.
His MGS 1 and 2 critical analysis videos added stuff from outside the source material to give it weight.

Attached: 1546639399102.jpg (1280x720, 67K)

Is his MGS stuff really worth watching? Something about his reviewing style makes him seem not so insightful.

They're worth checking out if you like the games.

He was right though, have you played the game? Its a generic af hollywood shooter with no substance.

>it's not a mecha anime, it just has mecha in it
Gas yourself, retard.

This kind of surface level stuff is popular on Youtube though. And especially when it can seem deep, like combining two le deep franchises like MGS and Eva does.

It's a video about media that influenced MGS's that doesn't actually talk about any of media which actually influenced MGS while spouting a lot of tired misinformation about Evangelion in the process made by someone who clearly isn't very well informed on the topic.

Because conservatives have jobs.

It takes a certain (very fucking high) level of pretension to make video essays. That sort of mindset will naturally gravitate to the common politics of its peers.

Fuck I was just playing through Odyssey and every fucking time I got to something Joseph Anderson said was a problem it's literally nothing, it's like he was heinously disconnected from reality and focused more on making an entertaining video than actually having substance. I don't use this lightly, and this is coming from someone who at one point respected him, but he's an actual fucking hack.

it's your punishment for not using an ad blocker.

You're even stupider than the other guy

>Joseph Anderson
There's your problem, that dude is a clown and his videos blow. The format isn't the issue, it's the individual.

Anderson is just pandering. With gaming pushed into the mainstream by AAA marketing budgets there are a lot of people who like the idea of being "le epic hardcore gamer" more than actually paying for all those games.
With Nintendo being relevant again there's a big portion of reddit that needs to feel validated for not buying a second console.

>goes and fights a Lynel right after getting off Great Plateau
>can't beat it with sticks and woodcutter's axes
>he whines about this

Hey, he does more work than the average journalist, thats for sure

hes a leaf so its to be expected

I miss classic game room but it sure was going downhill fast near the end

To be fair, the game does imply that you can go wherever you want, it just gives a bad impression when one of the paths has an unbeatable enemy, as far as a new player knows.
Technically the lynel can beaten with your sheika slate alone but thats asking a bit much out of a new player

I mean, the comparison between MGS2 and Eva falls apart once you realize that the closest anime equivalent to MGS2 is Serial Experiments Lain.

Nothing is blocked by a lynel. They are not aggressive, only territorial. Skirt around them and you can go on your way.

You aren't even blocked by the Lynel. You could go around in in any variety of ways. You don't have to fight it at all.
I'd understand the complaint if you could go to any dungeon first and the first one he went to had a Lynel as a boss, this isn't the case so it's a stupid thing to complain about. You literally just started playing, of course you shouldn't fuck with the giant centaur dude with the huge axe that's clearly stronger than everything else you've seen so far.

All journalists on the right are bought out. Only leftist activists are left.

Analyzing video games seems pretty depressing to me.

but user, in my autistic suck the fun out of a game by playing it in the most autistic way possible that no one would ever do so I have something to complain about brain, enemy is solved by combat. Just because the arena is the entire fucking map doesn't mean I'm able to do anything but sit there and reload trying to kill it with three god damn sticks and a pot lid like I'm doing a SL1 Deprived Dark Souls run until it dies and I receive my loot and gamer credits.

Why put thought into anything at all? Just consume product and then ask when next product is. Don't think. Thinking is bad. Thinking is the enemy. Only think of when you can buy the next product.

You're confusing analyzing with criticism.

>Matthewmatosis starts before most others in his genre of video game review
>never lost his integrity or sold out for views
>still makes quality videos
How does he do it?

He has the N-Word pass.

Sistersex keeps a man grounded.

HUH?

Because most good journalists have empathy, which is a left trait.

To criticize a game, you must have done some kind of analysis on it with your mind, right?
>analysis. 1a : a detailed examination of anything complex in order to understand its nature or to determine its essential features
Your brain is, consciously or not, doing analysis anytime you play a video game. Thoughts like "this is fun" or "that looks good" is a form of analysis, it's the watered down consensus your brain is making after it processes what you're seeing and doing. Not doing any analysis is pretty much akin to not thinking a single thing while playing a video game. So, being an NPC who just consumes product.

>Actually wasted time doing over 30min reviews on Mario games

I unsubscribed from him long ago.

Matthewmatosis is the only one that's ever been good

It's not his fault you have such severe ADD, user

I usually like his videos, but the last one about Evangelion in Metal Gear Solid was seriously shit. It seemed pretty clear he was mistaking a bunch of Gundam influences for Evangelion ones, and now it has me wondering if this is a one off or if all of his videos are full of bullshit and I've just never noticed before.

The only video of his I've ever watched was the first levels of Sonic games video, which pretty much said nothing about anything. It was totally pointless. Didn't feel it was a channel worth watching more of.

They're talking about active analysis you fucking sperg

I'm just saying it's a stupid thing to find "depressing" and makes me think they probably don't do a lot of thinking in general

Nah as long he's sucking that Kamiya and Miyazaki cock.

>good
>dmc1 amd DeS are the best one in their series

It is depressing, I can understand analyzing a game on a technical level like how it's programmed but that's not the case here.

From what I've seen he literally only likes Demon's Souls and Dark Souls

>if you put any level of thought or criticism into some of the most iconic games of all time, you're mentally ill

Not true
Pedos are pretty good with encryption

Thats the most based opinion you can have

Like I said, don't put thought into anything, just consume product then wait for next product. Thinking is too hard. Just consume more product. The idea of having "well constructed opinions" and "feelings beyond simple like or dislike" is, let's face it, depressing.

What an absolutely terrible post, which youtuber are you user

Imagine thinking you're an intellectual for putting "thought" in a non productive hobby like video games. You're essentially overthinking how children's toys work. Try putting your brain to actual good use by putting thought in productive hobbies.

The truth is that once you start getting older you start to lose interest in video games because the hobby is mostly targeted at children and teenagers, after a while you've basically seen everything there is to see.

Even the medium's "mature" content is mostly just trying to ape film or relying on cheap shock value, genuinely sort of adult video games such as Papers Please are hard to come by. I still like video games, but I've become increasingly more picky about what I spend my time on.

t. AAA garbage scavenger

Thinking critically is dangerous my friend. Be sure not to fall for such trickery as "making your own opinions". Just take everything as its most basic surface level. Looking into a game to see why you like it is wrong. Thinking about a game for more than 10 seconds is wrong. Like I said, thinking is bad. This gets in the way of just consuming products and then moving onto the next product.

Unless you're working on a video game yourself you're engaging in consumerism too you fucking idiot, even if you give your opinion on a product.

I still believe you can have a Patreon on the side and do Youtube as a hobby, it's only when the delusion kicks in and they drop their RL jobs to become a """full-time""" content creator that we enter abandon ship territory.

I think people confuse aesthetics with actual content. There are complex and worthwhile games that adults can enjoy, but because the aesthetic is kid-friendly they feel a kind of guilt about it

He'd have to be in the US to begin with

I'm not actually an anti-consumerism memer, I just think it's a bit dumb to just basically have the opinion of "why would you ever put more than two seconds thought into the media you consume"

That's not the same thing as writing analysis like the youtuber in OP is doing as his CAREER.

Because they're about your connection with reality in face of a technological pandora. They're not about learning to accept oneself.

youtu.be/vifYelSTlMo

He's been pretty good once or twice, when he went for arguably indefensible stuff like Sherlock and Fallout 3.
Now he can't even make videos about literally indefensible stuff. Everything he makes turns into a way to talk shit about right wingers and make the exact mistakes he accuses others of making. Also, gotta love how he made a video about how virtue signaling isn't a thing, to then basically accuse corporations of virtue signaling in his video about brands.

How many times do you have to alter what the original statement was? First it was "Analyzing video games seems pretty depressing to me.", now it's "having a job where you analyze video games like SBH seems like a pretty depressing job to have to me."? Why not just say what you mean in the first place?

>I think people confuse aesthetics with actual content. There are complex and worthwhile games that adults can enjoy, but because the aesthetic is kid-friendly they feel a kind of guilt about it

I actually agree with you, Devil May Cry 5 is probably my favorite video game this year; but I've seen ton of people write it off because it seems juvenile and dumb.

The strength of DMC comes from how it's absolutely shameless about leaning into how stupid and childish most video games actually are and it uses that as its strength. It's the video game equivalent of low-brow art. It can do super interesting things gameplay wise, such as having a motorcycle-buzzsaw weapon, because it has no "mature" restrictions.

No. How can anyone stomach this guy? Does your inner voice sound and talk exactly like him? That's the only way I can fathom listening to this guy without wanting to blow your fucking brains out.

Why does a hobby or something you do to relax need to be productive? You’re a sheep who’s been brainwashed by the media and social stigmas.

>uh but they're just children's toys you're over thinking it

Why the fuck do people who hate video games browse Yea Forums? No other board does this, Yea Forums likes anime, Yea Forums likes film, but Yea Forums just complains. I'd wager that 80% of Yea Forums says that they hate video games or that they grew out of them and whether they're being legit, just want to complain, want to fit in, or just make people lose faith in the hobby. What the fuck is wrong with you people and what the fuck is wrong with this board? It's pathetic and sad as well as rage inducing. If you genuinely grew out of the hobby or think all video games are just kids toys get off the board, there is no reason for you to be here. Fuck off and don't come back.

Because it was always a farce of a market. Nobody is legitimately interested in someone's "videogame analysis" and frankly there's a pretty hard cap on the amount of insight you can glean from looking at a game's mechanics.

What people want are well-edited, well-narrated editorials and general nebulous content on cult classics, their favourite childhood games, or the latest FOTM games. Nothing else. Most "videogame analysts" come to realise how worthless their actual analysis is, and instead of transitioning into something people want they just lose hope and give up.

Yeah but what I mean is that the mechanic doesn't *have* to be a chainsaw-motorbike or anything else adolescent. The game is mechanically complex enough for an adult to enjoy it, but the juvenile aesthetic is what some find a barrier.

I like that he made a video about the "woke brands" topic, but he didn't do a good job analyzing it. This is generally where 99% of youtube "essayists" fall short - they're not doing analysis proper, but mainly just an elaborate summary or a detailed review. The concept of analysis is breaking something down, grasping it as both a set of parts and a whole, and seeing how it fits into the context of the time, place, and purpose for which it was made. People cite MM as the only good vidya youtuber because he actually attempts to do this, although a few others try as well. There's always a sense that they're just not going deep enough into the content, and it's a little lame.

>video games don't warrant analysis or critique
Its funny how you see this kind of attitude only on Yea Forums.
You don't see pople on Yea Forums shitting on music criticsm, you don't see people on Yea Forums saying that films aren't worth analyzing, or people on Yea Forums telling people they're overthinking animation, hell not even on Yea Forums you see people saying watching anime is just a waste of time.
I don't know if it is because videogames are still too inmature or because the people browsing here are mostly still insecure about their hobby, but no other board hates their hobby as much as Yea Forums.

>he's still watchable
No he's not. He asks communist trannies softball questions.

Good job conflating endless 3-hour long ramble-channels about mechanics not designed to be examined in a vacuum with "any and all criticism of all kind, down to "watching anime at all"".

I like him, but I watched one of his other videos (the "Life of a Game: Final Fantasy XIV"), and he got a ton of shit wrong there that makes me wonder how much of his other videos are also wrong.

However, it was made at the request of people, so I can see why he might have not wanted to bother too much with it. He's probably not interested in the game at all. It does annoy me a bit that he can find interesting bits about the most generic WoW clone, yet he can't spend the five seconds to put in the barebones research into what the original version of XIV brought to the table that was new compared to it's competitors.

When I was a kid video games used to be fun for me, now that I'm an adult I get more enjoyment from productive hobbies like programming or making music. I still play games from time to time in my spare time, just not as much as I used to. You seem to be treating video games very seriously however, I don't think that's good for your mental health.

This will trigger retards like but nothing you said was wrong.

Meme word

There's always American Krogan. He's had several videos deleted by youtube because they were too based.

youtube.com/channel/UC9I9Iu2Noyvz6CLJTTp58Ng/videos

His Diablo video is everything I felt about the franchise put into words. It's a shame the genre has descended into a click-fest when it used to be more.

Most criminals are leftists, so not really.

I’m thinking about making one mostly wanna focus on old stealth games currently, such as Thief. I want to do some comedy stuff. I’m concerned about my voice, as my basically very Norf FC.

Just try to actually put effort into them and don't accept surface-level stuff and game journalist cliches as the standard. Think about what games actually do on a mechanical level and what games are.

we love norf, do it

>Uses Xenogears as an example of Eva's influence
When will this meme die? Superficially it makes sense, Evangelion came out first and soon after you had. However game development isn't that quick and Xenogears started production before Evangelion. It started life towards the end of FFVI's development cycle as a potential idea for FFVII. It was pitched but rejected because the story and themes were deemed too dark for FF by the higher ups at Squresoft, but they did give it the greenlight to be made into it's own project. Xenogears was already deep into development when Evanglion started airing, too late to make any major changes to the story and characters. Both the director of Xenogears and the writer deny any influence from Evangelion they however do cite Star Wars, Gundam and other Mecha anime as influences. An anime "Mobile Fighting Legend G Gundam" was cited as an example and that aired in 1994 which fits the end of FFVI's development timeline quite nicely. All similarities between them are almost entirely coincidental because both tapped into the cultural zeitgeist of the time in similar ways.

Can we all agree that this was his best video?

Just like raping children

I actually like seeing people I disagree with politically talk about stuff I'm interested in, because it gives a different viewpoint. Errant Signal is another one of them.

The best advice is to just go for, and don't care what you sound like. Your enthusiasm may likely win out over any preconceptions.

That's a rightist trait, very strongly associated with religion.

If there's one thing the information age has revealed its that raping children was and is an alarmingly common pastime

Just watch presentations made by the actual game devs.

I don't have a single "game analystic" video bookmarked for a reason. None of them are actually any good and most of them just scratch the surface.

Because extremist right vs left shit has so much to do with stealth game design and level design.

It's like the 13%-50%, except much stronger.
There are plenty of professions and political stances that have very low child rape rates, then there are the religious ones, traiditonalists etc. who have huge rates.

The more religious the profession and politics, the more child rape is there.
Same with countries - all the pedo shitholes are strongly religious, either by percentage or importance of religion in society.

Because this kind of analysis has always been "left leaning".
The reason it bothers people now is because the left keeps moving farther left.

There's a handful of interesting trivia or "summary" style videos out there in games that are great. Ahoy is an example of the former, MM is an example of the latter. Your mileage with either depends on your own personal knowledge and the time spent reflecting on why some critically acclaimed game "worked" for you.

The idea that either type is inherently bad is absurd. Yeah you can have trivia like Scott's which is extremely shallow and mostly useless to all but the most casual consumer, summary like JA which is a feature list, or summary like Clemps which is just a substitute for playing the game itself if you want to skip to a sequel. They still provide a service, just one with limited use.

When it stops being an average-ish guy voicing his opinions on stuff it gets boring.

They all start with games they love than spread out to other games they have less care for. That or you care less about the games they talk about.

Youtube died when monetization happened.
Before people would just use it for pure self expression, now most videos have the taint of someone's opportunistic shot at fame.

The next generation of people on youtube are gonna be even worse because of the faux-hollywood environment that's been created.

His complaint was that he literally couldn't kill the thing before every single weapon in his inventory was smashed, and that encounter led him to falsely believe BotW's combat boiled down to mostly stat checks.

He isn't saying that the combat is a bunch of stat checks. He's saying that it's unfortunate that he bumbled into that Lynel and was took the wrong impression from it, because it tainted his opinion on a system he came to really enjoy hours later down the road.

>Tolkien
>extremely conservative
This is exaggerated. Tolkien had a mix of views that made him neither wholly conservative or liberal. He supposedly defended monarchism but also agreed to dismantling the British Empire and has praised the idea of non-violent anarchy, which is extremely left. He criticized the Allies,Stalin, and the Nazis altogether. He also criticized apartheid and the treatment of Jews.

His weaknesses are apparent if you compare his videos to other videos about the same game. Contrast his Furi/Return of the Obra Dinn videos with Matthewmatosis' and it becomes clear he doesn't engage with videogames very deeply beyond criticizing stuff that annoys him as he played. He's still right about Mario Odyssey though

Your post is an amalgamation of hearsay and badly defined left and right. Go talk to the most conservative religious monarchist and he'll despise nazis for their socialist and anti-monarchist and tradition breaking ways. Nazis are right only from the current year television politics. If you were a conservative a hundred years ago, you'd be horrified at those leftist national socialists.
British Empire can be described as mercantilism gone berserk, which is, just like modern capitalism, unacceptable to a traditionalist.

As a religious person that believes in the value of man, systematic racism was not fine even during the 16th century when Catholic church gave human rights to all the new races found in America. Slavery was discouraged by the church even then. Being pro-segregation is not an exclusive right wing position, even if it is painted that way on the television.
Regarding his idea of anarchy, what he meant is the freedom of man to self actualize and chose good which is easiest when nobody is there to constrain him. However, under earthly kings this is sometimes impossible because rulers are often corrupt. His use of anarchy has nothing to do with sharing of the means of production or any anarchist thought you are familiar with. It can only be compared to Junger's Eumeswil.

>you find yourself riding on trends you don't care for in order to pay the bills that month

I really doubt this is the case for him, you can tell he talks about stuff he is passionate about, because is suuuuper niche.

>non-violent anarchy
oxymoron

He stole footage and anecdotal stories from other youtubers.

He also gave a shitty review of space station 13 compared to that one guy people compare him to

>lose interest in video game reviews
>start reviewing toilet paper, cold weather, cult meeting places and ikea

It's called degeneration. And it's what happens to stupid nolife uneducated fuckwits who try to re-learn the wheel by themselves instead of learning from history and applying what they've learned to the new.

Because 'right-wing' these days equates to 'There's a black person/woman in this game in a way I don't like' and it just gets sunk into the same boring socjus hole as every other edgy youtube 'rationalist'

Right wingers aren't intelligent enough to put together an essay

They cover the games they care about first and with passion
Than they run out of games they care about and have to talk about flavor of the month bullshit and popular stuff they're not really interested in
It's not really that hard to recognize this

Analysis channels were never good. Even matthewmatosis, who is probably the best one, sounds like a pretentious moron roughly half of the time.

I like his videos on vidya books.

>tehsnakerer's new video has 10 minutes of him explaining that online games can make him angry
>then another 10 minutes of him "explaining" why he used a joke fisticuffs character in a completely serious tone
Couldn't even finish the video. It's like having somebody seriously lecture you about how he plays as a "friendly" musician in Mordhau or Napoleonic Wars too achieve a deeper understanding of the universe.

He's a textbook example of missing the forest for the trees. Always getting hung up on small details and spending excessive amounts of time on them.

>My factory sealed copy of Ghost Trick had a pube in it.

did matt say something to or about Joe?

My boy George is still good, but I fucking hate the chroma key and his video on Evangelion and MGS was clearly rushed and pointless.

Matt bends over backwards to avoid being sucked into internet drama. The most he ever did was call hbomberguy a DS2 apologist.

Careful there hamsterson, your personality is showing.

I don't think I ever heard Matt talk about any other channel excluding his conversations with Mechagamezilla, and he mentioned MrBTongue once.

I think Joseph used to like Matt until something soured his opinion on him, now every now and then he lets out some stupid remark like that one. I think somebody suggested that Joseph doesn't like how Matt doesn't really engage with his "community", which is insane because one thing I really like about Matt is precisely that he avoids stroking his audience and giving them special or exclusive treatment in any way, shape or form.

I think it's as simple as ego inflation. Once he started getting more subs and views than other game channels he saw himself as superior.

Friendly reminder that long-form Let's Plays, friend simulators, and analysis videos are no longer viable on YouTube. The current meta approves of content in line with the things TehSnakerer, SsethTzeentach, and Civvie11 are making i.e. review/LP combos that allow the viewer to feel like they've both been sold the game and have experienced it themselves. If you want to get big on vidya YouTube now, invest in these channels and make videos like them. It's gonna blow up come next decade.

his game stuff was great but the infinite review is even better
also the podcast is really good

You have to have at least a modicum of intelligence to make a decent video essay

>dude if this was medieval europe I'd be considered left wing so do NOT call me a conservative lmao it's not my fault the left went TOO FAR and started criticizing things I like

The people who are making these essays have gone to useless fields, typically in the humanities, at university that teach you nothing save for writing essays semi-decently. They go through the course and pick up that one skill, all the while under HEAVY pressure to move as far left as humanly possible from every position with the remotest amount of authority. They usually pour a lot of their time into some timewasting hobby or another, be it vidya, comics, music or what have you. Following this, once they are out in the real world and find little demand for the fruits of the last three years of their life, some bounce back and get their shit together, but some get into a depression spiral, with the only relief being more vidya or other hobbies. Applying their one skill of writing an essay to their hobby is only natural, and some make it big. Eventually the soaked-up leftism from university and the bitterness over not being able to get a real, decent job like they were always told they'd get if they'd just stay in school mix and ferment, and soon the channel matures into a full-grown whinefest about typical leftist shite.
Conservatives meanwhile might have had a decent father who told them not to pick a retarded major, perhaps had a family business or similar, or even if they fucked up, by the nature of their beliefs they realised it's their own damn fault and got their shit together. Plus a whole lot of them are indeed boomers, as pointed out. A lot of conservatives stick with older games they loved years ago and refuse to move on to new, topical things to talk about, so they are not really in the running to begin with, plus most of those games have been picked apart a million times already.

Empathy is one of the worse traits to have in journalism.

He's so boring.
The only good "analysis" channel I know is Raycevik, at least he talks about GAMES

it doesnt go downhill your miniscule brain starts to understand youtube game analysis is retarded and leave.

its free advertising endorsed by the mods, why wouldnt you do it if you were a jewtuber?

He watched eva for the first time a few weeks ago when Netflix made it available
He doesn't know shit about eva or anime in general, he is though surrounded by a bunch of the weeb ecelebs who keep recommending shit to him and he never manages to pass the second episode

most arent even that good at what they do, just average but the culture where faggots donate to muh pay-treeon encourages this shit

His Pepsi-man video is so comfy.
Whatever happened to the other guy?
Also his Nazi GMOD video is god-tier.
I want the humour back.

He's been writing articles about Game of Thrones, Witcher 3 and Baldur's Gate for years now:

why is everybody calling youtube videos ‘content’ nowadays?

i think this is why i have such hatred for eceleb shilling on this site. not the idea that a person could possibly make a videogame related video, but more that its all a big money making scheme in some way, making eceleb threads seem like advertisements more than expressions of interest. i cant really blame the ecelebs themselves though because who the fuck wouldnt try to make money off something so lucrative.

This is literally just the same thing as the Dark Souls graveyard. No excuses.

They keep recommending him seasonal garbage which he of course drops after a few episodes because it's all fucking dogshit. It's so frustrating.

>several tomes shittier than the discussion in this thread
bout the same amount of shit actually, you are just too pretentious to realise it. and you must be fucking blind because theres always people ridiculing those threads.

Meant more specifically for

Why are people still pretending ff6 is better than any of the ps1 game?

>video on how poorly managed telltalebarelygames was managed
>LMAO U SHOULD HAVE UNIONIZED
>Video on QA testers and how poorly they're treated in big companies because they're easily replaceable
>LMAO U SHOULD GHOST THEM
he lets his political opinion shit up most of his videos

What's wrong with running away from reality if it sucks?

>video game analysis video
>is 30+ minutes long

Why are these videos always bloated out to ridiculous lengths. I usually find the quality of analysis tends to be better in videos that range from 5-15 minutes.

Some topics deserve lengthy discussion but a lot of channels seem to associate length with quality so they think by padding out their video it'll become good.

how the fuck can you talk about pokemon for 7 hours

I've seen at least some of that shaymay video

i really wanted to watch that pokemon vid but his accent is really hard to listen to

You need to move out of this mindset that the entire world and all of history is defined by this 'wonderful good pure progressives' and 'evil alt-right nazi conservatives' nonsense generated in the last 70-80 so years. History is more expansive than this current age, and politics more complex.

Generally, they start out with games they're super passionate about but once they finish those they do videos on just shit they don't really care about. See those tools at Twin Perfect for example.
People who make videos about flavor of the month shit are just trying to get clicks by making videos on something relevant instead of something they care about. Its what makes people like Sseth and Mandalore so good.

>If you don't like x hollywood copy/paste movie then you just don't get it!

I'm okay with disagreeing with someone, I'm not okay when they slip whiny politics somewhere they don't belong.

Didn't he do one podcast with Matthewmatosis as the guest? How did that turn out?

Its the YouTube star cycle. It is unavoidable
>make something you want to make
>its popular
>refine your craft
>get very popular
>become arrogant and delusional because YouTube shekels , also often fall into the pit of social justice
>lose viewers and some popularity
>instead of fixing the fuck up, double and triple down, because you popular and obviously in the right
>keep doubling down untill your channel is dead and barely running on momentum of your once popularity

But they like those copy-paste movies

Didn't mandalore break his spine? I don't think we're getting vids for a while.

>>Ross has been replaced by a body double made entirely of mold we cant determine if he is actually alive or not
Looks like the body double is doing more work then the og Ross.
Game sessions with fans are now frequent.

I have unsubbed from almost every channel I used to like because they turned out to be left wing or took the bluepill. I don't consume SJW shit. What channels can you recommend that won't let me down because I'm seriously running out of options.

I just mentioned him but I like Mandaloregaming. He's a bit monotone but very thorough. If you want more Yea Forums-like and memey videos there's his Jewish alter ego Sseth.

mecha is pretty based desu

His podcast with Matthewmatosis was great. I hope they do another sometime.

Yeah I know, he fucked up his back. There's still plenty of his old videos to watch for now.

Why the fuck would you ever trust another human being with deciding what you should value or criticize?
That's something you need to decide for yourself.

>why listen to somebody else's opinions
Why do you even come onto this website

I don't watch for that. I want to see if they have any insight to the game that never crossed my mind when I thought about it on my own.

Can you assure me he won't say anything liberal though? I hate getting to like a channel and then being forced to drop it down the line because of some SJW tweet or something.

it's good to have your own opinions challenged, you may discover something new or realise you were wrong somewhere. youtube drivel isn't good for any of that, mostly

>Why the fuck would you ever trust another human being with deciding what you should value or criticize?
Maybe because you are not an actual sociopath and a clinical narcissit and realize that your own views need to be challenged and expanded, and that many other people have interesting things to say?

Seriously, the fact that you would ask this question shows that there is something PROFOUNDLY wrong with you.

why do critics need to make 3 hour videos on simple games

Attached: fag.gif (1088x612, 2.98M)

Can you assure me he won't say anything liberal though?
Ok putting aside this line that makes you sound insecure about hearing differing opinions, afaik he's never said anything political in games other than the time he referred to slaves as "the freedom-impaired" as a joke.

>letting yours and others feelings get in the way to find out the truth

Whoops forgot my meme arrow

This mentality is why every conservative is convinced they're a free-thinking genius but they're actually a fucking retard who tries to stay blissfully ignorant while also being extremely arrogant.

...Then it's your fault. Gitgud

I'm surprised this thread is still up with 400+ reply.

Personally I see it as
>Guy likes a series, maybe a genre
>Does videos on the things he likes
Then there isn't anything else for them to really talk about because there isn't anything else for them to be passionate about.
They're not being paid to talk about shit they don't care about.

If I were to do it I'd try and do my favorite genre that I think nobody cares about like Mecha, City Builders or Indie First Person Puzzle games.

I wouldn't care if they didn't slip it into their videos. Can't even watch retarded non-PC shitheads like Oney because his gang will randomly start whining about orange man bad.

"If we knew then what we know now, we would've told you to shove that red pill up your ass!"

because people can be useful

Oney and Zach like Trump tho.

>How come all the decent game essay channels are left-inclined?
Because literally 99% of all social studies and humanities are taught by left-leaning, if not radical left thinkers. Pretty much anyone who has a college degree and insn't working in legal, medical or technical fields is now been raised by almost exclusively left-wing thinkers. It's the absolute standard now.

They totally like him, that's why they start whining about Obama's mexican cages while playing Croc.

>"moralistic"
>when the left is the one that thinks their political ideology is the moral one, thus the socio-political conundrum we're in.

The fuck are you talking about?
He didn't like Dark Souls 3, thought Bloodborne was only okay but ultimately a failed experiment, thought Sekiro was also only okay, and said that he has lost his hope that From Soft will ever advance their formula to take any kind of interesting direction.

Waste of good potential slaves

Because cooperation is pretty much universally more evolutionary advantageous strategy than violence, and acts such as genocide tends to make cooperation kinda hard.

>Mandy got his fucking spine injured

w-what?

Every time Zach does his Trump voice I tense up because I think he'd going to mock Trump or his supporters. Thankfully he never does, it's just an impression, not mocking. I have been ready to unsub every time.

And then the painkillers gave him an ear infection that spread to both ears, he's paralyzed from the neck down and deaf now

Why advance when you already have a winning formula? Only people obsessed with innovation want change.

Humanity is a burden anyway. We all should cease to exist. I would even go as far to say every life on earth should stop living too.

did you just admit to being underage you little shit? does your mom know how edgy you are?

The same people why cry about "degradation of a fanbase" and make 500+ reply threads about women and normies ruining everything by finding out about a game will also tell you Sseth is based for making meme montage videos about niche games to his audience of over 500,000 underage redditors

He just likes the way Trump talks because no other politician sounds like him.

user it's a herniated disc, it's not THAT bad.

to be fair, his Mordhau video is probably one of if not the worst on his channel, it's just so boring.
I could rewatch his Winback video twice a week, but I couldn't bother watching this one.

Not for nothing user but that makes you sound incredibly insecure. Like legitimately being triggered.

I just hate politics in the content I watch. Unless someone is redpilled, then they're pretty based. But otherwise politics just doesn't belong.

Succesful or not, it's getting stale.
At least to people who like fresh things.
Although i gotta disagree with Matthew about Sekiro a bit.
I found it quite refreshing even though it was still very similar in a lot of respects.
Anyways, if Elden Ring is gonna be just another souls game except with a different name again then i'm gonna be quite bored. I'm burnt out of souls.

>I don't like politics unless it's politics I agree with.
This is what you sound like. You're unironically acting like the SJWs.

Is it really a winning formula if it gets stale? I mean SRW has like 60 games in it's library and I haven't lost interest with it yet.

It's impossible to tell if this post is serious or not because I've read literally hundreds of posts on Yea Forums that boil down to this.

>we the Yea Forums posters

i really awkwardly said hi to him in town a few weeks ago

nice guy

Its why I want IDs on Yea Forums so I can know who's being serious and who's being facetious.

I love that mecha really makes matthew laugh. It's always fun when matt's robot persona drops.

And what kind of redpilled themed content are you looking for?

also that one time
youtu.be/-ZzxKLZJtUo?t=248

What's SRW.
Anyways, it gets stale for me at least, but that is mostly because souls games have been relying on the action aspect more and more as the franchise went on despite that not being the strongest point about these games. The combat is very simplistic at best. It stands to reason that it would get boring once the games throw other things away and start being heavily action focused without improvements to the action.
That's why Sekiro was pretty decent even though it could've been better.

Creators get lazy once the patreon takes off.

He strikes me as one of the few ecelebs who isn't obnoxious and arrogant. Just seems like a humble but extremely talented dude. It even feels weird calling him an eceleb at all because he's just so different from the usual assholes you get on youtube.

Super Robot Wars. Been around 25 years now and has been on basically every platform that has existed in that time other than like the Dreamcast.

Not always. Mecha started a patreon and makes more than ever, and the quality didn't even drop, it improved. He used to make three videos a year and maybe some podcasts. Now it's pretty much a video and a podcast a month, and they're excellent.

It's really hard to find quality anything on youtube. In the end the jews always win

Sounds like he struck a nerve.

>why don't conservatives like this progressive new medium video games?
lol what a dumb fuck

Matthewmatosis is a valve apologist

His last good video was axiom verge/ESA comparison video

Lol he only likes demon souls because it was the first, it is full of flaws that he talks about in his dark souls 2 commentary

Why is this thread still up, have the janitors gone soft?

Agree

Actual answer: Most video essay channels aren't politically leaning. In addition, Youtube buries right leaning content, this is common knowledge. That is if you're dumb enough to insert your political opinion in a video about a 3rd person action game.

>these 85 IQ posters breaking their arms to pat their own back

Attached: 1549433782365.jpg (1200x1007, 69K)

As someone who was right wing for 25 years of their life, I say this without being smug. To be right leaning, despite the memes, is to be very emotional. It's very easy to call something degenerate and move on because it "feels" wrong. To be left leaning in a critical sense is to deeply reflect on something, digging further into what and why we feel.

It actually makes sense to me. If you are really passionate about games you will probably have strong opinions on how they should and should not be designed and you will have a lot to say. Still, it's funny in a way that there are game analyses longer than beating the actual game.

This has to be the biggest load of projection I've ever seen. You're literally making an appeal to emotion with this post, for fuck's sake.

Is the podcast is only available for patreons or what?

I stopped taking Matthewmatosis seriously after spending 5 minutes on his ask.fm

No, it's on mecha's patreon page but it's a free download. Anyone can listen.

Nice, thanks bud.

Maybe you have been watching it? I'm right leaning and I never get anything like that.

Why?

This. It blows my mind that righties complain so much about being artificially subdued by youtube when you can't even watch a few music videos without your Up Next list trying to drop redpills.
Righties have a massive persecution complex. Even when they have full control of a government they claim to be oppressed.

The only correct answer in this thread

the inherent meaninglessness and futility of video games sets in over time. There are bills to pay however, so they keep making videos any way and the quality inevitably suffers.

Seems like Matt isn't impressed with Elden Ring and disinterested with Miyazakis recent games in general. Or he's just waiting on gameplay before commenting on it.

I find a lot of old people refuse to play new games because they're Skinner boxes disguised as games. Microtrashactions

All he said about Sekiro was that he didn't think From was interested in "evolving the formula" anymore. Kind of annoyed me because it seems like what's actually happening is they just aren't going in the direction he wants.

The more you watch these game reviewers/journalists the more you will dislike them since sooner or later they will have contradicting opinions or opinions which you disagree with and make you realize how subjective this shit can be

You were the retard if you ever thought you were watching something that wasn't subjective. How much of a dense autist are you?

Yes he eats up every Mario and Zelda game, his bias is more revealing every day, wish he had just stuck with youtube and didnt feel the desire to express himself about everything

sorry I dissed your fav youtuber, I'll pay next months patreon donation to make things up

The fuck does he excatly want from these games?
