In Red Dead Redemption 2, I had hunted down the Legendary Bear and skinned its pelt and was bringing it back to the trapper. Along the way a woman asked me to bring her back to civilization and I genuinely grappled with the decision to leave that pelt behind since I was so immersed in the game. So when I left her there and brought the pelt to the trapper I ended up feeling like a major piece of shit and it was honestly the best moment I've ever experienced in a video game
I know you know this but you can leave legendary pelts behind & still get the clothes from the trapper or you can quickly ride past the woman & get the random event again.
@@bromachrome Shoulve left her there. If game was realistic, some person would come and rescue her after ya left. Like that part when ya didnt save that guy at Saint Denis bronte party which random person saves him. Being choked.

In some Stalker 2 reviews some reviewer put your weapon getting jammed as a con, like it's an intentionally choice to add that with awesome weapon jamming animations and some reviewer just says oh my gun jammed in a Post-apocalyptic, survival game? Nah that's a con right there. Crazy how we let these people review games.

I think these game reviewers aren't playing the game to experience it, they are playing it to review. This means they are too busy trying to 1. get through it quickly so they can get their review out on time and 2. break down the components of the game into bite sized ratings instead of throwing themselves into the journey that the game has created. Imo that makes video essays waaaaay more reliable and honest because they tend to be a reflection on the experience of the game and they get released post hype (usually). Game reviews and game scores don't have that kind of love and dedication in mind. Brilliant video!
reviewers, streamers, youtubers etc simply do not play videogames as a general gamer would which in turn makes any reviews/opinions/critiques pretty much moot
he has since replayed it and actually enjoyed it quite a bit, but many of his criticisms (like the waypoint simulator type mission design that leaves no freedom whatsoever) are perfectly valid
I mean I like the game also but it definitely has issues. Like it being a waypoint simulator like the other guy said. But the shooting is also clunky. If you keep aiming after shooting then you have to again press lmb to cock the gun. The movement doesn't feel snappy and feels way too floaty. I personally prefer rdr1 shooting mechanics but the feel of shooting in rdr2 is much more impactful. No game is perfect. He also couldn't enjoy the game because during the time the game was released he lost his save file which made him dislike the game more.
@@noobtube9551 because it's a single action revolver, you need to cock it before you shoot it, it's floaty because you're not playing as a special ops soldier who's been training for 50 years, you're playing as a malnurished outlaw who just happens to be in a lot of gun fights
RDR2 is the greatest game that has ever been, or will ever be made. it is the culmination of everything that i love about videogames. it has the spirit of an indie game, with the budget of AAA.
@@danibarack552 every element of the game is aligned. theres a distinct sense of human authorship. it feels like the people who made it cared very deeply about it.
What I normally do before buying a game is that I check the general reception of the game and see if it fit me or not for example you and everyone loved days gone but for me I just didn't feel it because I was genuinely tired of the zombie troupe as a whole (also great vid as always man )
It's definitely not a game that's everybody's cup of tea and that's totally fair! I think looking at a games general reception can be a good idea steam reviews are solid
The thing about the IGN review of Alien Isolation is the fact that the reviewer was complaining about getting attacked while hiding. If you have the Motion Tracker out, the Alien can hear it and attack you. One of the core features of the game and he didn't know how it worked.
I strongly resonated with TLOU p2 and almost always overanalyze the media I consume to a certain point of ridiculousness. When the game first came out, with a large number of people saying it was trash, I felt extremely demoralized. What I believed was an extremely fitting and gripping ending that symbolized the release of the extreme tension strewn throughout the game in a way that is literally perfect for how the universe functions and the story to that point, was met with large walls of text stating how underwhelming it was for the player. I felt like the only person who enjoyed the game when it first launched because of it, as I had also successfully not been spoiled for literally any of the events of the game and came at it with a fresh slate nor looked at any of the reviews or comments about it anywhere near its initial launch. I cannot tell you how amazing it has been to watch people completely 180 their opinions on the game despite the numerous previous reviews and arguments made against it on youtube having hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of likes. Generally, with this territory in storytelling, this happens a lot. Things age and people change along with their opinions and perspectives. Because of this and the subjectivity of the enjoyment of story, whether it be movies, shows, games or any kind of media I think that it is nearly impossible to call a story bad or good off of a feeling and post a review to it online in complete ignorance of the aspects it has that interact with other peoples' lives and experiences. Using funny big words and phrases like ludonarrative dissonance to sound more intelligent just to disguise your barely hidden opinion on something instead of explaining why its an aspect that you personally did not like subjectively is not okay and stopped so many people from playing a game that could have otherwise completely resonated with them like it did for me. I despise critics of stories in any form because of this, as they generally never take the consideration of the creative vision or the impact it has into their reviews. It hurts to watch people bash on media that they just do not understand at that certain point in their journeys.
1:40 Okay, I actually agree with the principle in IGN's review, but they delivered it very poorly. The water routes in ORAS were dreadfully boring because the designers tried to have a near even amount of land routes/water routes. But unfortunately, the land routes are just far more interesting than surfing through a bland open sea for half the game. IGN understood this, and I think they aren't entirely wrong, but damn, they couldn't have phrased it worse... There is a difference between saying, "Water routes are too repetitive and bland." and saying, "Too much water." which basically summarizes my entire issue with game journalism most of the time, even if it's rooted in a genuine critic, it's so poorly articulated that it just comes across as completely incompetent.
dear just1n trudeau while i sadly didnt use this video as something to watch whilst eating my sleep schedule is fucked rn so im using this to keep myself awake and hopefully get it back on track, thank you.
I feel that a lot of people don't realize that video games like Books and movies have to be reviewed from two different perspectives: As Art and as entertainment. I think reviewers tend to analyse games as art (Innovations, storytelling) while non-fans tend to look at games more as entertainment (fun, replayability, amount of content) Let me know If I am wrong
@@CrackedJust1n 18:17 captainsauces way of playing story games on youtube eg. his gameplay on life is strange was also a good way of exposing his audience to an amazing story but very minimally interrupting the narrative for quick jokes and one-off comments. whenever i watch captainsauce play a story based game i find myself in a positive feedback loop because i want to watch both his funny commentary on gameplay and the story by the devs
I lowkey hate public opinion because sometimes a game that is hated like fuk is hated by 98% people who have seen 10 minutes of gameplay from a popular person who dislikes it and just adopts other peoples opinions instead of thinking for themselves. Everyone has the same regurgitated opinion. Some games are just that bad, but sometimes you just got to try. But the worst part is liking a game (which is literally your opinion) and getting blasted to oblivion by people who haven’t played anything but Roblox but saw a popular twitch streamer clown on it.
Honestly, as much as i like to shit on reviewers, they did give me a perspective on a lot of things. Some time back, i went back to some games i remembered really liking but all their reviews being trash. And honestly.. it wasn't a fun experience. Most of these games actually weren't as good as i remembered and it properly ruined my memory of them. I loved NSMB2 when it came out. Replaying it a few months ago made me realize that it's actually a fucking boring and easy game with very few new ideas and doesn't get above "meh" for me nowadays. We often forget that reviewers are encouraged to not let their personal experience during their playthrough influence their review too much. And let's just say, if we all going back to games we love, separated and isolated from the experience we had when discovering it, a lot of games we love aren't actually as good as we remember. The best example was Fortnite: OG. A lot of people went back to that and hated it, because not only were they expecting something else from the game at that point, but they themselves were not the same person they were when they first played the game. Also, to the progression point: I agree that games need progression. But the best games are those that feel great from the start and only get better. Something like Ghost Of Tsushima or Sekiro, who give you all important mechanics from the start and just give you more fun bonuses afterwards. In RDR2 for example (a game i love), the horse riding at the start felt like shit. Yeah, the progression felt good, but why do i gotta be frustrated for 10 hours before feeling that in a game not built for that kind of experience? Why can't the horse follow me from the start, but over time and affection, it gets faster, stronger, and gives us a special ability like time slowdown? It's a valid point that i feel too many people glorify.
I have a group of friends that constantly bash me for liking “niche” games like cry of fear, faith the unholy trinity, sally face and risk of rain 2 (CoF being my fav). I also listen to really niche music (my favourite bands are windir, Tool and Death grips), so they basically just accuse me of having a really bad taste in everything and say that I’m trying to be different. It’s a shame that certain people can’t be more open minded…
I also can’t seem to get into Baldur’s Gate 3, mostly because of the tactical combat, which I find genuinely boring, but also the lack of voiced protagonist, which is something I didn’t mind with other games, fondly enough
I believe the issue with the last of us 2 is not in its ideas but the writing, is clear that in the last of us 1 the director actually find an elegant way to tell the story, example, the problem is not that Joel got kill for trusting people, is the lack of common sense in his actions, and how force everything is, i know he is old, but damn people that have live that long in a place like that, don't have the luxury of trusting strangers, so it escapes common sense. Yes Abby is way to jacked for a women in general, if they would have made her a little bit small i would have being great, but dude the body model they hire is hella jacked, yes i know, but in a situation and place like that is almost impossible or even advise to waste time and resources to be that jacked. the amount of food and rest and exercise you need to have is quite big to get that big, especially for a women, and knowing how busy the life of this people are in the post apocalypse, them it makes even less sense for Abby to be that jacked. Another great example, is when Abby's group go out to scout or to patrol, i don't remember, but i remember the pregnant woman, decide to go with them, like ok, in my life i met women like that, irresponsible, but she should be dead a long time ago, why? Because i believe nobody in the universe of the last of us has that amount of luck, it kills the immersion of these bleak and dangerous world, where death is in every corner. And we can pick apart this game even more and why is not better than the first game, or how the first game is ruined by what the second one does. Besides that great video borther.
The same applies to movie reviews and critics too, since they say that a movie is shit but the intended target demographic ends up liking it. If you look at the overall rating on IMDb left by critics and the audience there's a stark contrast, well that depends on the movie in question. This also applies to food (restaurant) reviews you come across on yelp or equivalent, reviews from AirBnB or reviews of a hotel or resort left by travelers & tourists on tripadvisor.
hm I agreed with everything in this video and didn't think I was one of the people who fell for game hate bandwagons but it caught me by surprise when you said you loved Starfield! I haven't tried it because of everyone saying it was mid or even bad and since you seem to have the same taste as me I might actually give it a chance now! Great video as always! :)
Definitely give it a chance but I just couldn't do it. I'm a fallout 76 apologist and even I couldn't make it though starfield without feeling massively disappointed. The hate was warranted but that doesn't mean you won't necessarily enjoy it.
21:05 so whats the solution. Ign states on their website that their reviews are opinion already. Shouls they always say "I dont like this but some might" . The fact that someome else might like something the reviewer doesnt is already implied.
I feel like people forget reviewers are straight up just people with opinions. Same as friends or some popular streamer. Some of them you just won’t agree with, some you will. And as for “influencers,” I take their word with an even larger grain of salt since they are far more prone to brand deals and less communal editing (it’s often just them spouting off the cuff stuff). Lastly, I gotta be real. Days Gone is a straight up a 6/10 for me. Nothing amazing. Nothing truly terrible. Just kind of there. I’m a big fan of open world games but it’s really nothing special in my opinion. The world isn’t interesting to me, the story is laughable, and the gameplay loop gets really repetitive. But at the same time I think 6/10 is viewed as a failure because of the school system we grow up with. That’s why people get so bent out of shape with numbers below 8. Everything else feels redundant, but in reality 5 is right in the middle (i.e. mediocre) while 1 is horrible and 10 is amazing (not perfect cause that’s just not a real thing).
For me my main problem with red dead 2 is that it leans too much onto the side of hype realism. For example Arthur getting cold or too hot, having too eat,clean your gun ECT. I feel like all of it piled together brings the fun factor down for me and the fact that they are mandatory. But the biggest problem 100% is the gunplay, i could forgive all the realism stuff if the gunplay wasn't so ass. It's the same problem with gtav, Arthur Morgan moves like a literal tank and the fact that i have to adjust the settings is just insane, which it still didn't help, just imagine red dead 2 with the gunplay of max payne 3, that would have been incredible . It was a damn shame because i bought red dead 2 day 1 because i loved the first one. I felt like days gone struck that balance between being realistic and being a game, while also having fun gameplay. But red dead 2 saving grace is obviously the story and characters, Arthur Morgan is easily one of the greatest video game protagonist easily. But unfortunately a great story cannot save a boring game with bad gunplay, gameplay is king. But i have come to except that rdr2 wasn't for me and as a fan of the first game disapoints me.
Tbh i thought tlou2 was a woke piece of crap when it first came out thanks to many people calling it just that. However in past years i grew up realizing that i should form my own opionion. And so i bought the game and sunk dozens of hours into it. I just wish some people would do the same as i did. Grow up. Realize that the need to form their own opionion instead of taking someone elses. Great contenet btw❤
I used to watch a lot of Gamers and Streamers but I got so tired since they get more and more disrespectful towards the games they play. People put their heart and soul into this and to only complain, as a public person as well, idk.. doesnt sit right with me
Another crazy example is when watch dogs 2 came out an people were so set to compare it to the first game an also at the time comparing it to the physics of gta which really overwhelmed the games reputation at release an shadowed it so not many people experienced a great game. I remember just shrugging the game off when it released then decided to come back to it years later an absolutely fell in love with it, people were so focused to bash it for not being like the first one without truly enjoying it for the vision they had an it has become when of my favorite open world games that I almost didn’t experience because of reviews and comparisons.
Would you rather play Minecraft Dungeons for the next 3 months straight (You sleep 4~6 hours a night and have 1 hour total for bathroom breaks, making and eating food, and anything else, rest of the day is grinding Minecraft Dungeons) but you get to play GTA 6 at the end of those 3 months or wait 2 more years for GTA 6?
you just earned a sub, what you say about games is exactly how i feel, its so annoying how all these people who probably have a TikTok attention span be judging a game they didn't even understand, then go and call Fortnite a masterpiece.
About rdr2, I really liked it but the slow pace was definitely a con for me, not because it's slow but because it FORCES me to go slow. Each push of a button has to have a pretty lenghty animation which takes the control away from you. A game can be slow and immersive by making cool stuff that you WANT to slow down and appreciate without pushing it down your throat
I'm playing it for the first time currently. I'm hunting for the satchels and I am blind I haven't seen any playthroughs or trailers only know that people praise it any tips?
Uhmm uhh, fuck. It wasnt all that long ago since i played it for the first time but i stopped as I got bored. Tho yes, rdr2 is amazing. And when i played it, it felt like the sun turned to perfect temperature, the shooting... ah tho i kinda rushed the story a lil more cuz it was the most fun part bout the game.
I always thought the too much water complaint was about how it was more annoying to traverse over the water routes because they'll have constant wild battles. I loved Alien Isolation but I must admit it was silly that even when you were just free roaming, like at the metro area, if you run for 1 second then an Alien will pop down on you instantly.
6:30 firstly realism doesn't make a good game, maybe some core audience would enjoy it but probably not most people, secondly steam review mean absolutely nothing, as long as the game functions and the company doesn't do something horrible it ussually gets at least a very positive
I disagree about alien isolation it was ign who made it famous in my area I still remember their video how scary alien isolation was entertaining others to play the game
@@CrackedJust1nwhat do you think about the idea that red dead 3 should be about colm odriscoll and his gang since it would let see the vander linde gang from a completely different perspective and it doesnt have to be about redemption and we can see the rise of both gamgs
Don't forget that on release, a lot of these games had poor performance and bugs. Reviewers have to take that into account. Days Gone in particular did not run well on launch. User reviews being good now is the way a customer can tell this has changed.
Days Gone was spectacular. I platinumed it on my first playthrough. I wish there was a sequel it would of improved it and made it more of a masterpiece
RDR2 changed my entire perspective on video games and parts of life and play it nearly every week here in there since launch.. the irony shortly after 2019 I found out I had multiple health problems that would shorten my life and leave me disabled. Cyberpunk 2077 story hit me hard too lol. But yeah never listen streamers, Days Gone is prob my favorite zombie game! Great vid bruv! But honestly TLOU2 really did piss me off.. gameplay amazing etc. but Hulk girl was almost 4th wall breaking to me it was so absurd...and they did Joel dirty.
I understand the point you were making about Red Dead Redemption 2, but I find it doesn’t always need to be about the “target audience” in which there has to be a specific type of person to enjoy specific mechanics that can’t be very enjoyable. I, myself, love immersion in games, I played really slow paced games such as Arma 3, Squad, STALKER, etc, however I still find some of these “immersive” parts in RDR2 to still be annoying, and this is coming from a HUGE RDR1 fan. I loved the immersion in RDR1, it is also one of it’s high points, but it doesn’t feel a need to break up what you’re doing or add clunkiness for the sake of immersion, hell, this will maybe sound crazy, but I’d say RDR1 has better and more enjoyable shooting mechanics for this reason. RDR2’s cover system is unresponsive and I’d say this comes from how Arthur is controlled due to the immersion Rockstar was aiming for. Furthermore, with the point of it being annoying about picking items up since there’s an entire animation, it still breaks the game up for myself in CERTAIN (key word certain) moments when I have to pick 10+ items or I need to loot a lot of bodies. While yes it was aiming for immersion and is also one of RDR2’s high points as well as in RDR1, it can still break the “flow” of the game up for me some times and can get somewhat annoying, and this is coming from someone that enjoys a good bit milsims and survival games. For a lot of things, I agree it comes down to the wrong reviewer playing the game, many things can’t just be passed off as it “not being of the target audience”, it can still be an issue with the game itself or just differing tastes, I wouldn’t say a differing taste or disliking some qualities of a game means they aren’t a part of the audience, because after all, all humans view the world in their own way and all have even slight differing tastes from one another.
This is why I love gameranx. They have no ratings and just give first impressions of a game. I usually watch their videos before I am going to buy something. The reviewers are also gamers themselves
the indiana jones game is awesome please please please play it if you like the movies it really captures the same heart and feel of the movies probably more than the crystal skull did (and i kinda liked the kingdom of the crystal skull)
Moral of the Story: stop listening to people that call themselves video game reviewers. ALL OF THEM. Want to know if a game is for you? Play it Not sure if it's a game for you and need to be financially conscious? Watch a gameplay video. Get your own opnion. Edit: These are thoughts I've wanted to express for a while so it's nice to see someone do it.
This is not only true for gaming journalism but all journalism. Whatever topic you know stuff about whenever you read a journalists take it’s watered down half truths
It's rare to see someone explain TLOU2 so well, except for the part about Abby's arms. Lets face it, it was a dumb decision to make her look like that and it just gave ammo to the haters. But apart from that, I feel the same way about the game.
Personally, I couldn’t stand Days Gone. The plot progression and devices weren't great, the writing lacked depth, and the voice acting just didn’t land for me. While I did enjoy exploring the open world, the lack of variety in enemies and activities also made it feel repetitive. But hey, to each their own. That’s kind of the whole point of the video, right?
last of us is a very experimental story that just didn't sit well with people and the wierd criticism is because they don't know where to point finger at I personally was a huge fan and when I completed part you something didn't feel right and that is it maybe it is the fact that devs wanted people to feel this emptyness but that kind of feeling doesn't sit well with mainstream audience people wanted revenge of joel since accidently they made abby too unlikable and her redemption came a little too late and it was wierd after killing armies of people now elli can't finish off her
If you rely on a youtuber to decide whether you should purchase a game or not, please go outside and touch some grass and get a life. Thanks from all of us gamers.
your excuse is that the game is trying to be realistic and immersive then why my weapons disappear? then why when i change clothes they randomly spawn? why there's no enemy variety ?
To counter your entire video, reviewers dont believe their opinions are THE objective opinion. They shouldnt have to clarify that their opinion is in fact their opinion, because that is the definition of an opinion.
my all time favorite game is DmC Devil May Cry. I know not a lot of people would agree with me, but It's just such an enjoyable game, I absolutely love it. Thank you Ninja Theory.
Also cool to hear the postal theme near the end of the video, and I know everybody says this nowadays but I truly loved cyberpunk since day one, I’ve replayed it four times since, I did have a series x tho even back in dec 2020
Someone said you can't criticize art for what you wanted it to be, criticize it for what it was trying to be, otherwise you're not making a lotta sense.
There should be a sort of filter that shows the most played genre of game that the reviewer actually have played and the hours so we could see, like, if that reviewer have actually some sort of idea of the game he is playing, for example, If a reviewer says that an MMORPG has many texts and it's slow and boring, but then you see that he mostly play arcades or shooters, you will realize that he might don't know the type of game he is playing, but then you see a bad review of a player that mostly plays MMORPG's, you will know that he might already have an idea, it's kind of discriminatory because the player might be right even if he mostly play other type of games, maybe I'm being incredulous by thinking that would work, actually you can get into reviewers profile on some platforms such as steam, and, depending on their privacy settings, see his most played games, but most people, including me, just don't do that, tell me what do you think. (sorry about my english)
In the case of the Days Gone review that I think is a symptom of a bigger problem. Her comment about wanting to just get from A to B without any problems is because of the time crunch that these reviewers are usually on. They aren't given enough time to properly play and critique a lot of the games they're tasked with reviewing and so have very little patience when things like constantly needing to maintain your bike or having to ride carefully end up slowing the playtime down. This is why I prefer Easy Allies, from what I've seen they normally take the time needed to properly assess and critique what they're about to review.

@@danibarack552 every element of the game is aligned. theres a distinct sense of human authorship. it feels like the people who made it cared very deeply about it.
The bo2 multiplayer music in the background during the Day’s Gone segment woke a damn sleeper cell in me
What I normally do before buying a game is that I check the general reception of the game and see if it fit me or not for example you and everyone loved days gone but for me I just didn't feel it because I was genuinely tired of the zombie troupe as a whole (also great vid as always man )
same
It's definitely not a game that's everybody's cup of tea and that's totally fair! I think looking at a games general reception can be a good idea steam reviews are solid
@@CrackedJust1n exactly
Bro I'm really enjoying these longer and analytic type of videos, I hope you do many more :)
Many more to come! Thank you :)
The thing about the IGN review of Alien Isolation is the fact that the reviewer was complaining about getting attacked while hiding. If you have the Motion Tracker out, the Alien can hear it and attack you. One of the core features of the game and he didn't know how it worked.
You thought we would not notice the 8:14 transition ? Great work as always Justin!
that spiderman ign clip still haunts me to this day bru bru
It's a classic 💀
I strongly resonated with TLOU p2 and almost always overanalyze the media I consume to a certain point of ridiculousness. When the game first came out, with a large number of people saying it was trash, I felt extremely demoralized. What I believed was an extremely fitting and gripping ending that symbolized the release of the extreme tension strewn throughout the game in a way that is literally perfect for how the universe functions and the story to that point, was met with large walls of text stating how underwhelming it was for the player. I felt like the only person who enjoyed the game when it first launched because of it, as I had also successfully not been spoiled for literally any of the events of the game and came at it with a fresh slate nor looked at any of the reviews or comments about it anywhere near its initial launch. I cannot tell you how amazing it has been to watch people completely 180 their opinions on the game despite the numerous previous reviews and arguments made against it on youtube having hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of likes. Generally, with this territory in storytelling, this happens a lot. Things age and people change along with their opinions and perspectives. Because of this and the subjectivity of the enjoyment of story, whether it be movies, shows, games or any kind of media I think that it is nearly impossible to call a story bad or good off of a feeling and post a review to it online in complete ignorance of the aspects it has that interact with other peoples' lives and experiences. Using funny big words and phrases like ludonarrative dissonance to sound more intelligent just to disguise your barely hidden opinion on something instead of explaining why its an aspect that you personally did not like subjectively is not okay and stopped so many people from playing a game that could have otherwise completely resonated with them like it did for me. I despise critics of stories in any form because of this, as they generally never take the consideration of the creative vision or the impact it has into their reviews. It hurts to watch people bash on media that they just do not understand at that certain point in their journeys.
1:40 Okay, I actually agree with the principle in IGN's review, but they delivered it very poorly. The water routes in ORAS were dreadfully boring because the designers tried to have a near even amount of land routes/water routes. But unfortunately, the land routes are just far more interesting than surfing through a bland open sea for half the game. IGN understood this, and I think they aren't entirely wrong, but damn, they couldn't have phrased it worse...
There is a difference between saying, "Water routes are too repetitive and bland." and saying, "Too much water." which basically summarizes my entire issue with game journalism most of the time, even if it's rooted in a genuine critic, it's so poorly articulated that it just comes across as completely incompetent.
19:12 how it felt watching speed play red dead 2
4:47 I always had a feeling that ai was more aware on higher difficulties in tlou, and now I know for sure, holy crap.
dear just1n trudeau while i sadly didnt use this video as something to watch whilst eating my sleep schedule is fucked rn so im using this to keep myself awake and hopefully get it back on track, thank you.
You're welcome Doomsdave! Hope you get your sleepschedule fixed bro
my sleep pattern is totally fucked up too.
I feel that a lot of people don't realize that video games like Books and movies have to be reviewed from two different perspectives: As Art and as entertainment.
I think reviewers tend to analyse games as art (Innovations, storytelling) while non-fans tend to look at games more as entertainment (fun, replayability, amount of content)
Let me know If I am wrong
Noo I think you are right, it always depends on the person reviewing it and their understanding of the medium
Ah, I see where you went wrong. You’re using logic and reasoning. Rookie mistake.
My bad G
@@CrackedJust1n seriously, great video. I’ve honestly played RDR2 front to back 3 times now. I just can’t get enough of that cowboy life.
first time watching you, really great video!
Thank you Fazepepper! You're a really great commenter!
@@CrackedJust1n 18:17 captainsauces way of playing story games on youtube eg. his gameplay on life is strange was also a good way of exposing his audience to an amazing story but very minimally interrupting the narrative for quick jokes and one-off comments. whenever i watch captainsauce play a story based game i find myself in a positive feedback loop because i want to watch both his funny commentary on gameplay and the story by the devs
I lowkey hate public opinion because sometimes a game that is hated like fuk is hated by 98% people who have seen 10 minutes of gameplay from a popular person who dislikes it and just adopts other peoples opinions instead of thinking for themselves. Everyone has the same regurgitated opinion. Some games are just that bad, but sometimes you just got to try. But the worst part is liking a game (which is literally your opinion) and getting blasted to oblivion by people who haven’t played anything but Roblox but saw a popular twitch streamer clown on it.
I thought this was a year old video but its 3 hours old
omfg you just made me realize it was HOURS ago
Huhuh lil goofy ahh hehheh 🤓👆
Honestly, as much as i like to shit on reviewers, they did give me a perspective on a lot of things. Some time back, i went back to some games i remembered really liking but all their reviews being trash. And honestly.. it wasn't a fun experience. Most of these games actually weren't as good as i remembered and it properly ruined my memory of them. I loved NSMB2 when it came out. Replaying it a few months ago made me realize that it's actually a fucking boring and easy game with very few new ideas and doesn't get above "meh" for me nowadays. We often forget that reviewers are encouraged to not let their personal experience during their playthrough influence their review too much. And let's just say, if we all going back to games we love, separated and isolated from the experience we had when discovering it, a lot of games we love aren't actually as good as we remember. The best example was Fortnite: OG. A lot of people went back to that and hated it, because not only were they expecting something else from the game at that point, but they themselves were not the same person they were when they first played the game.
Also, to the progression point: I agree that games need progression. But the best games are those that feel great from the start and only get better. Something like Ghost Of Tsushima or Sekiro, who give you all important mechanics from the start and just give you more fun bonuses afterwards. In RDR2 for example (a game i love), the horse riding at the start felt like shit. Yeah, the progression felt good, but why do i gotta be frustrated for 10 hours before feeling that in a game not built for that kind of experience? Why can't the horse follow me from the start, but over time and affection, it gets faster, stronger, and gives us a special ability like time slowdown? It's a valid point that i feel too many people glorify.
I have a group of friends that constantly bash me for liking “niche” games like cry of fear, faith the unholy trinity, sally face and risk of rain 2 (CoF being my fav). I also listen to really niche music (my favourite bands are windir, Tool and Death grips), so they basically just accuse me of having a really bad taste in everything and say that I’m trying to be different. It’s a shame that certain people can’t be more open minded…
Most people are sheep and it is good you are not like the sheep.
is Tool considered niche😭😭
“They are judging a game by personal preference!!!” Yes, that is how reviews work
People need to realise that you can hate objectively good thing and love objectively bad things
Bro your vids are getting so much better, no glaze
I also can’t seem to get into Baldur’s Gate 3, mostly because of the tactical combat, which I find genuinely boring, but also the lack of voiced protagonist, which is something I didn’t mind with other games, fondly enough
Yeah like I said in the video, couldn't tell you why it didn't click with me it just didn't
It's ok not to be into every genre. I'm not into dark soul type games but they're very popular. 🤷♂
I believe the issue with the last of us 2 is not in its ideas but the writing, is clear that in the last of us 1 the director actually find an elegant way to tell the story, example, the problem is not that Joel got kill for trusting people, is the lack of common sense in his actions, and how force everything is, i know he is old, but damn people that have live that long in a place like that, don't have the luxury of trusting strangers, so it escapes common sense.
Yes Abby is way to jacked for a women in general, if they would have made her a little bit small i would have being great, but dude the body model they hire is hella jacked, yes i know, but in a situation and place like that is almost impossible or even advise to waste time and resources to be that jacked. the amount of food and rest and exercise you need to have is quite big to get that big, especially for a women, and knowing how busy the life of this people are in the post apocalypse, them it makes even less sense for Abby to be that jacked.
Another great example, is when Abby's group go out to scout or to patrol, i don't remember, but i remember the pregnant woman, decide to go with them, like ok, in my life i met women like that, irresponsible, but she should be dead a long time ago, why? Because i believe nobody in the universe of the last of us has that amount of luck, it kills the immersion of these bleak and dangerous world, where death is in every corner.
And we can pick apart this game even more and why is not better than the first game, or how the first game is ruined by what the second one does.
Besides that great video borther.
This is such an underrated video. Keep up the great work!
The same applies to movie reviews and critics too, since they say that a movie is shit but the intended target demographic ends up liking it. If you look at the overall rating on IMDb left by critics and the audience there's a stark contrast, well that depends on the movie in question. This also applies to food (restaurant) reviews you come across on yelp or equivalent, reviews from AirBnB or reviews of a hotel or resort left by travelers & tourists on tripadvisor.
"Re*****d, I can say it." Would be so fucking crazy lmfao
hm I agreed with everything in this video and didn't think I was one of the people who fell for game hate bandwagons but it caught me by surprise when you said you loved Starfield!
I haven't tried it because of everyone saying it was mid or even bad and since you seem to have the same taste as me I might actually give it a chance now!
Great video as always! :)
Wow thanks for this comment Pepo, it's definitely not for everybody but personally I really enjoyed my time with it!
Thanks for the support friend :)
Definitely give it a chance but I just couldn't do it. I'm a fallout 76 apologist and even I couldn't make it though starfield without feeling massively disappointed. The hate was warranted but that doesn't mean you won't necessarily enjoy it.
21:05 so whats the solution. Ign states on their website that their reviews are opinion already. Shouls they always say "I dont like this but some might" . The fact that someome else might like something the reviewer doesnt is already implied.
I'm glad to see that your channel is gaining traction. Keep up the good work, In Sha Allah, it will become your good income for you
first time watching your channel, and i have loved it!
keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I'll be pushing these videos out till I die
I feel like people forget reviewers are straight up just people with opinions. Same as friends or some popular streamer. Some of them you just won’t agree with, some you will. And as for “influencers,” I take their word with an even larger grain of salt since they are far more prone to brand deals and less communal editing (it’s often just them spouting off the cuff stuff). Lastly, I gotta be real. Days Gone is a straight up a 6/10 for me. Nothing amazing. Nothing truly terrible. Just kind of there. I’m a big fan of open world games but it’s really nothing special in my opinion. The world isn’t interesting to me, the story is laughable, and the gameplay loop gets really repetitive. But at the same time I think 6/10 is viewed as a failure because of the school system we grow up with. That’s why people get so bent out of shape with numbers below 8. Everything else feels redundant, but in reality 5 is right in the middle (i.e. mediocre) while 1 is horrible and 10 is amazing (not perfect cause that’s just not a real thing).
For me my main problem with red dead 2 is that it leans too much onto the side of hype realism. For example Arthur getting cold or too hot, having too eat,clean your gun ECT. I feel like all of it piled together brings the fun factor down for me and the fact that they are mandatory. But the biggest problem 100% is the gunplay, i could forgive all the realism stuff if the gunplay wasn't so ass. It's the same problem with gtav, Arthur Morgan moves like a literal tank and the fact that i have to adjust the settings is just insane, which it still didn't help, just imagine red dead 2 with the gunplay of max payne 3, that would have been incredible . It was a damn shame because i bought red dead 2 day 1 because i loved the first one. I felt like days gone struck that balance between being realistic and being a game, while also having fun gameplay. But red dead 2 saving grace is obviously the story and characters, Arthur Morgan is easily one of the greatest video game protagonist easily. But unfortunately a great story cannot save a boring game with bad gunplay, gameplay is king. But i have come to except that rdr2 wasn't for me and as a fan of the first game disapoints me.
Tbh i thought tlou2 was a woke piece of crap when it first came out thanks to many people calling it just that. However in past years i grew up realizing that i should form my own opionion. And so i bought the game and sunk dozens of hours into it. I just wish some people would do the same as i did. Grow up. Realize that the need to form their own opionion instead of taking someone elses. Great contenet btw❤
I used to watch a lot of Gamers and Streamers but I got so tired since they get more and more disrespectful towards the games they play. People put their heart and soul into this and to only complain, as a public person as well, idk.. doesnt sit right with me
i dont think enough people realize opinions exist
Another crazy example is when watch dogs 2 came out an people were so set to compare it to the first game an also at the time comparing it to the physics of gta which really overwhelmed the games reputation at release an shadowed it so not many people experienced a great game. I remember just shrugging the game off when it released then decided to come back to it years later an absolutely fell in love with it, people were so focused to bash it for not being like the first one without truly enjoying it for the vision they had an it has become when of my favorite open world games that I almost didn’t experience because of reviews and comparisons.
Watch Dogs 2 was cringe af.
@ compared to what we have today not even close
28:50 I switched back to PS like year ago and I miss this feature. I hope they will add this to PS Store too
Would you rather play Minecraft Dungeons for the next 3 months straight (You sleep 4~6 hours a night and have 1 hour total for bathroom breaks, making and eating food, and anything else, rest of the day is grinding Minecraft Dungeons) but you get to play GTA 6 at the end of those 3 months or wait 2 more years for GTA 6?
YES
Mc dungeon pee ball
you just earned a sub, what you say about games is exactly how i feel, its so annoying how all these people who probably have a TikTok attention span be judging a game they didn't even understand, then go and call Fortnite a masterpiece.
19:18 that was NOT necessary dawg
Well that wasn't me that was the streamer guy
Wait you have 25 k subs now ?! You and cyberboi be growing fast
About rdr2, I really liked it but the slow pace was definitely a con for me, not because it's slow but because it FORCES me to go slow. Each push of a button has to have a pretty lenghty animation which takes the control away from you. A game can be slow and immersive by making cool stuff that you WANT to slow down and appreciate without pushing it down your throat
Rdr2 is the best… just saying.
I'm playing it for the first time currently. I'm hunting for the satchels and I am blind I haven't seen any playthroughs or trailers only know that people praise it any tips?
@@Red_MitGmake sure you stay stocked on gun oil and ammo and be sure to have money on hand if you need to pay off a bounty.
I’m on my ninth playthrough bro😭😭😭 the game is so peak
@@Red_MitGupgrade your weapons and keep things in shape. It’s very important.
Uhmm uhh, fuck. It wasnt all that long ago since i played it for the first time but i stopped as I got bored. Tho yes, rdr2 is amazing. And when i played it, it felt like the sun turned to perfect temperature, the shooting... ah tho i kinda rushed the story a lil more cuz it was the most fun part bout the game.
this video is so great! you're super underrated.
⚠*if you abuse the refund system too much, steam will stop letting you do it*⚠
I always thought the too much water complaint was about how it was more annoying to traverse over the water routes because they'll have constant wild battles.
I loved Alien Isolation but I must admit it was silly that even when you were just free roaming, like at the metro area, if you run for 1 second then an Alien will pop down on you instantly.
6:30 firstly realism doesn't make a good game, maybe some core audience would enjoy it but probably not most people, secondly steam review mean absolutely nothing, as long as the game functions and the company doesn't do something horrible it ussually gets at least a very positive
Your profile pic looks like hip hop Scott Pilgrim. And I’m here for it.
Lmfao I've never gotten that one
@ You never got what? Scott Pilgrim or hip-hop?
I disagree about alien isolation it was ign who made it famous in my area
I still remember their video how scary alien isolation was entertaining others to play the game
Another banger
Just one en really making the day
Thank you loo see
@@CrackedJust1nwhat do you think about the idea that red dead 3 should be about colm odriscoll and his gang since it would let see the vander linde gang from a completely different perspective and it doesnt have to be about redemption and we can see the rise of both gamgs
18:13 im so glad your bringing recognition onto smaller youtubers
Don't forget that on release, a lot of these games had poor performance and bugs. Reviewers have to take that into account. Days Gone in particular did not run well on launch. User reviews being good now is the way a customer can tell this has changed.
Based shout-out for Before you Buy, one of the best "review" series out there
True 90% of their reviews are good
Days Gone was spectacular. I platinumed it on my first playthrough. I wish there was a sequel it would of improved it and made it more of a masterpiece
RDR2 changed my entire perspective on video games and parts of life and play it nearly every week here in there since launch.. the irony shortly after 2019 I found out I had multiple health problems that would shorten my life and leave me disabled. Cyberpunk 2077 story hit me hard too lol. But yeah never listen streamers, Days Gone is prob my favorite zombie game! Great vid bruv! But honestly TLOU2 really did piss me off.. gameplay amazing etc. but Hulk girl was almost 4th wall breaking to me it was so absurd...and they did Joel dirty.
I understand the point you were making about Red Dead Redemption 2, but I find it doesn’t always need to be about the “target audience” in which there has to be a specific type of person to enjoy specific mechanics that can’t be very enjoyable.
I, myself, love immersion in games, I played really slow paced games such as Arma 3, Squad, STALKER, etc, however I still find some of these “immersive” parts in RDR2 to still be annoying, and this is coming from a HUGE RDR1 fan.
I loved the immersion in RDR1, it is also one of it’s high points, but it doesn’t feel a need to break up what you’re doing or add clunkiness for the sake of immersion, hell, this will maybe sound crazy, but I’d say RDR1 has better and more enjoyable shooting mechanics for this reason. RDR2’s cover system is unresponsive and I’d say this comes from how Arthur is controlled due to the immersion Rockstar was aiming for. Furthermore, with the point of it being annoying about picking items up since there’s an entire animation, it still breaks the game up for myself in CERTAIN (key word certain) moments when I have to pick 10+ items or I need to loot a lot of bodies. While yes it was aiming for immersion and is also one of RDR2’s high points as well as in RDR1, it can still break the “flow” of the game up for me some times and can get somewhat annoying, and this is coming from someone that enjoys a good bit milsims and survival games.
For a lot of things, I agree it comes down to the wrong reviewer playing the game, many things can’t just be passed off as it “not being of the target audience”, it can still be an issue with the game itself or just differing tastes, I wouldn’t say a differing taste or disliking some qualities of a game means they aren’t a part of the audience, because after all, all humans view the world in their own way and all have even slight differing tastes from one another.
This is why I love gameranx. They have no ratings and just give first impressions of a game. I usually watch their videos before I am going to buy something. The reviewers are also gamers themselves
the indiana jones game is awesome please please please play it if you like the movies it really captures the same heart and feel of the movies probably more than the crystal skull did (and i kinda liked the kingdom of the crystal skull)
I'd love to try it out!
My first two cases of ignoring reviewers were, sniper ghost warrior, and bulletstorm, two games I still revisit today.
21:10 CYBERPUNK 2077 MENTIONED🔥🔥🔥
(Would love to see a video about it)
Would love to make a video about it 😳
Moral of the Story: stop listening to people that call themselves video game reviewers. ALL OF THEM.
Want to know if a game is for you? Play it
Not sure if it's a game for you and need to be financially conscious? Watch a gameplay video.
Get your own opnion.
Edit: These are thoughts I've wanted to express for a while so it's nice to see someone do it.
we NEED more video game critics that are actual GAMERS! i cant stress enough
9:37 "The main source"??? For who?
This is not only true for gaming journalism but all journalism.
Whatever topic you know stuff about whenever you read a journalists take it’s watered down half truths
doom and cuphead mentions are missing!!! other than that very fun video!
It's rare to see someone explain TLOU2 so well, except for the part about Abby's arms. Lets face it, it was a dumb decision to make her look like that and it just gave ammo to the haters. But apart from that, I feel the same way about the game.
Personally, I couldn’t stand Days Gone. The plot progression and devices weren't great, the writing lacked depth, and the voice acting just didn’t land for me. While I did enjoy exploring the open world, the lack of variety in enemies and activities also made it feel repetitive.
But hey, to each their own. That’s kind of the whole point of the video, right?
last of us is a very experimental story that just didn't sit well with people and the wierd criticism is because they don't know where to point finger at I personally was a huge fan and when I completed part you something didn't feel right and that is it maybe it is the fact that devs wanted people to feel this emptyness but that kind of feeling doesn't sit well with mainstream audience people wanted revenge of joel since accidently they made abby too unlikable and her redemption came a little too late and it was wierd after killing armies of people now elli can't finish off her
If you rely on a youtuber to decide whether you should purchase a game or not, please go outside and touch some grass and get a life. Thanks from all of us gamers.
I still think metacritic is a net negative even if it makes some minuscule sense as a tool.
"What kind of biker drives aroun super carefully anyway" as someone who rides a motorcycle, the ones who want to stay alive do that.
Its been a while since I enjoyed and watched a youtube video until the end. Great Stuff!
Great analysis, you pointed to the wound in this industry.
Thanks for the supportive comment Link! :)
your excuse is that the game is trying to be realistic and immersive then why my weapons disappear? then why when i change clothes they randomly spawn? why there's no enemy variety ?
To counter your entire video, reviewers dont believe their opinions are THE objective opinion. They shouldnt have to clarify that their opinion is in fact their opinion, because that is the definition of an opinion.
I was with you until Shitfield and openly supporting and liking bethesda
my all time favorite game is DmC Devil May Cry.
I know not a lot of people would agree with me, but It's just such an enjoyable game, I absolutely love it.
Thank you Ninja Theory.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is the greatest game I’ve ever played 🐐🐐🐐
I didn’t know critical missed on his rdr2 review, I never took his reviews seriously before that anyway but still hurts to hear
Also cool to hear the postal theme near the end of the video, and I know everybody says this nowadays but I truly loved cyberpunk since day one, I’ve replayed it four times since, I did have a series x tho even back in dec 2020
Brilliant video. Well done man.
Someone said you can't criticize art for what you wanted it to be, criticize it for what it was trying to be, otherwise you're not making a lotta sense.
what song is played at 6:30? sounds familiar
Box 15 from Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc!

I started RDR2 to finish it. Funny thing is after a few hours playing I found myself wanting to slow down so I wouldnt.
i'm gonna sub because you mentioned theradbrad
Such a great video. I agree with everything you said here, especially the one about TLOU2.
I'll be primarily following you for reviews now.
0/10 this game won’t stop talking 😡
There should be a sort of filter that shows the most played genre of game that the reviewer actually have played and the hours so we could see, like, if that reviewer have actually some sort of idea of the game he is playing, for example, If a reviewer says that an MMORPG has many texts and it's slow and boring, but then you see that he mostly play arcades or shooters, you will realize that he might don't know the type of game he is playing, but then you see a bad review of a player that mostly plays MMORPG's, you will know that he might already have an idea, it's kind of discriminatory because the player might be right even if he mostly play other type of games, maybe I'm being incredulous by thinking that would work, actually you can get into reviewers profile on some platforms such as steam, and, depending on their privacy settings, see his most played games, but most people, including me, just don't do that, tell me what do you think. (sorry about my english)
Did not have the same opinions as me, cringe and not based. (Being me is based)
In the case of the Days Gone review that I think is a symptom of a bigger problem. Her comment about wanting to just get from A to B without any problems is because of the time crunch that these reviewers are usually on. They aren't given enough time to properly play and critique a lot of the games they're tasked with reviewing and so have very little patience when things like constantly needing to maintain your bike or having to ride carefully end up slowing the playtime down.
This is why I prefer Easy Allies, from what I've seen they normally take the time needed to properly assess and critique what they're about to review.
Hey good video! By the way, I was curious if I could use this video idea (I’m a very small UA-camr who’s trying to grow 🤣)
