Idk why, but there seems to be a running theme with vidyatubers, where they either:His older videos really didn't feel that way, and the pacing was decent because you were constantly getting bounced around between him saying some incredibly pretentious shit, followed by caveman-tier jokes, and neither was too much . And then he put out the Elden Ring video which felt incredibly padded, and used a whole lot of words to not really say that much of actual value. I haven't watched the Stray video yet, but I really don't know how much you can say about a cat-themed walking simulator with pretty much no gameplay to speak of.
But then again, this really is a general videogame reviewer problem. You have retards like Joseph Anderson who take like six an a half hours to say "Yeah, Mario odyssey is pretty OK, but it's not a masterpiece because some of the levels really suck and the game doesn't reward skill at all.", or you have RagnaRox, whose content I do really like, but he really has to connect every mediocre mid 2000s horror game to some kind of societal and political issue and be pretentious as fuck about it. Or I don't know, you have fucking GGGmanlives, nigger is actually borderline retarded and yet all of his videos manage to be 35-40 minutes when talking about games that have probably two hours worth of actual gameplay mechanics.
Man, talking about videogames for a living sure must be hard if 95% of people who try it end up making garbage content.![]()
1) Get a magnum opus out and then slowly fade into obscurity, either by losing interest which results in pace of making videos slowing down or they start treating the channel like a full time job, where you can definitely notice how the enthusiasm is slowly drying out.
2) Jump the shark with something so nonsensical, I doubt anyone would be able to look at their content the same way.
>Joseph Anderson
His review of "What Remains of Edith Finch" is probably a great example of the latter.
The whole game is just Darwin Awards contest for the most absurd death.
Let's build a swing on a cliff! What could possibly go wrong?
We shot a deer during a hunt and want to take a picture with it. Should we check if it's still alive? Nah, let's just take a picture near a cliff! What could possibly go wrong?
But none of the examples come close to that infant, who drowned in a bathtub, because his mommy thought it was a good idea to go answer a call, while he's left in a full tub by himself.
I'm not sure that relating to a parenting fuckup that dimwitted, makes you come off as someone reasonable.
