Good gaming channels on Youtube?

[Spike]

Of course, one of the reasons why these videos are so long, is that the YouTube monetization system encourages people to write like they are trying to reach the required word count for a school essay.

I don't think after 30m or so it makes much of a difference as far as the YouTube algorithm is concerned.

I haven't watched PatricianTV's more recent videos since the games he has covered aren't of interest to me (aside from Starfield but i want to play it first myself before watching anything about it) but i did watch his Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim videos and IMO while a few things here and there could be shortened, the difference wouldn't be that big because the videos try to cover everything, from story, to mechanics to the game's development history and try to do this in a way that shows in practice (in the video itself) how things are affected - and where appropriate also show how doing things differently affects things too (he made multiple playthroughs with different characters doing different things).

I have watched shorter videos by other people and they always leave a lot of things out and/or are vague whereas Patrician tries to cover most things and do it in detail. At the end of the day these aren't reviews (the titles are just for clickbaity engagement, if it wasn't already obvious), these are analysis videos and the games have a lot of things to discuss/show in them.

As I write the script and collect the footage for my first analysis video, new subjects keep coming to mind. I have so much covered now that the video will be longer that even I am normally willing to watch (such a video).

Another just came to mind: the implied pacifism in these Batman games. Batman won't kill Joker, even after losing Talia, but is perfectly happy dropping goons on their heads from several meters up and exploding them with gel and their own mines. They're all fine, apparently. Just unconscious, probably. I don't think it can be done in a video game about him. Maybe I'll suggest scoring the player at the end of the game and subtracting points for "accidents." A kill count. Use footage of Batman blowing up all those people in Burton's movies (several in the first, at least one in Returns). I don't know the comics from before the strict pacifism.

One of the many retarded Superhero tropes.
The good guy can't kill the bad guy because..."reasons".
"We are better than them!!"
Joker is a character that is incredibly popular, losing him won't sit well with the fans.
Imagine how much damage Batman has caused by NOT killing Joker and allowing him to rampage through Gotham...

Joker died in the game, but it was because he tried to take the cure to the mutated Titan virus from Batman and the vial fell on the floor.

"You wanna know something funny? Even after everything you've done, I would have saved you."

"That actually is **cough, cough** pretty funny!" **Dead**

Yeah, didn't work for me, after everything I had done to my opponents. You wouldn't want them to bounce off invisible walls when you're on a rooftop or high catwalk. Having Batman automatically catch them with a rope would only disrupt the action. Since there is no way to believably save every opponent, the story should ignore that aspect of Batman. Like you said, if he kills a few, it's for a greater good.

Batman is the ultimate Kantian.

Status quo is a bitch! I like how The Punisher does just that and wokes hated him enough to destroy his character, turn him into a crying pussy that went into literal hell (for extra lulz he died in a story arc earlier and Heaven recruited him cuz he was good enough to be repurposed to kill demons, I guess, but that one was retconned) and then retconned him with a black guy that follows a girlboss. The new Punisher barely lasted 10 issues.

No no, you must like our GRIM DARK GRAPHIC NOVEL about a man dressing like a bat. It's a GRAPHIC NOVEL So it's for adults

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Exposes The Industry (8 minutes)

Description
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Launched to a host of impressive review scores matching some of the industries best. A high the series hasn't hit in over a decade. Their success in the open world genre exposes the one of the industries weak points. Fashion over function. Development times in AAA keep getting longer. Square Enix had other plans.

What a clusterfuck.

pre rendered should have been the ps1 revival. Not fog and texture gitter

 

[Baron Dupek]

what a mess
edit - just finished watching. Zero mention of "that" merchant that caused some uproar back then.


Beside Marauder from channel above (and now this) there's rarely any mention of Apeiron's games - and other failed JA3 attempts - in English on YT.
Maybe counting Sseth doing 762 High Calibre too.

Combat wise, Brigade E5 > JA2

JA2 has better characters though

I used to watch him for laughs. He tends to be very autistic and just shits on games that are not even bad giving them 1 or 2 out of 10 causing some meltdown in the comments.

This video of his caused me to meltdown:

Lol @ that avatar of his. Bored-looking "mmm I'm tired of these...humans..." arrogant persona. Has its place and charm but too much of it is Kind of like the dex!

Doom is a Good Game. That is its genre. I think this is what boomers felt when they listened to Sargent Peppers for the firs time or something like that. Doom defies everything and remains fun, pure, extreme fun. It has everything you'd ever want in a videogame.

I bought that and forgot to play it! Thanks for reminding me.

Call of Duty... how cares right? Well, the thing is, I feel many franchises and games in general have become the same goofy mess. I really miss the serious stuff. Especially modern multiplayer games seem to suffer from a lack of serious themes.

This guy can be pretty funny, but at times a bit much. https://youtu.be/dKseZxwNKOw?si=uh-6Gen5TVsaNNDL

The ridiculous avatar and weapon skins really ruin the immersion. I wish they'd offer an option for "realistic skins" so you wouldn't have to see multiple copies of some popstar with a bright pink AK47 running around your gritty war arena but I guess then the idiots that paid money for their skins would whinge because anyone not spending extra money would probably turn them off. The last WW2 COD was ruined because your skin's nationality was completely irrelevant to whether you were on the Axis or Allies team and then after a couple of seasons there was idiocy like Snoop Dog running around in Berlin 1945. I also prefer limited weapon selection based on faction which is another realism-destroying issue. Female soldiers on the frontline outside of a few very specific cases also makes it hard to enjoy something when your preference is grit/semi-realism, particularly for games in historical settings.
