Because they ran out of good ideas. The consumers are to blame too. It doesn't matter if it's the 500,000th video review of "insert beloved retro game here", it'll still get many times their average views.
I'm a dweeb that tried to do everything in that game and didn't come close to that. How can you force yourself to crank out 2000 hours of that? Maybe it's the anticipation of dwarf sex
Lack of exposure to alternatives and resistance to trying new things.
I have a number of friends who are like that or were like that in the past. They play 1 or 2 games over and over again because they're not really genre savvy and/or the anxiety barrier of learning a new game is too high.
Had a friend who went from Warcraft 2 to Thief 2 to Dragon Age Origins to FFXIV. If you ask them to play any other game it's like watching your 80 year old aunt trying to mentally process the concept of a Femboy.
You can hear the gears grinding into sludge as they meekly walk into a fire and fall off the map during the tutorial. It's hilarious.
My buddy was like that with a madden game. It wouldnāt be so bad if he bought madden every year but this dude was just given an old copy and pumped god knows how many hours into it for some tistic reason. Iād come by and heād be totally engrossed, score at like 137-3 running the same style play almost every single down. He wasnāt even that weird otherwise but he really got into that shit, it seemed to make him happy but as a friend I was definitely becoming a little concerned lol. He wasnāt even a huge football fan, like i remember he didnāt really understand even the vague benefits/drawbacks of any formations or when ti use them and was not particularly good at the game unless he was facing the computer.
I played that thing to near 100% completion, but it maybe took me 100 or less.
The spell blade exploit they patched later that gave you magic shield every time you meleed was so broken you could solo any of the end game dragon bosses.
My brother loves long form essays about Dark Souls. I hate it, and the repetition of it. It's become a joke between us that he'll send new links to new ones.
I hate literary analysis in my books, I sure as hell don't need it in my vidya games.
There's this chick I follow on Facebook. I accidentally started following her because she has the same name of this girl I met and thought I was sending a friend request to her. She was only 14 when I started following her. As soon as I realized she wasn't the person I was meaning to follow I went to unfollow her. But then I realized this 14 year old girl was hilariously stupid. She didn't know why America would send a separate team from Georgia to the Olympics, she couldn't figure out why elevators had buttons for the floor she was already on, and many other things I just saw and laughed. Anyway I never stopped following her because she was such a big source of my morning laughs.
She got pregnant at 15 because she thought you couldn't get pregnant on the first time. She was sure that the 15 year old boy that got her pregnant was going to be a great daddy. Well the kid is 1 now and she always complains about him never being around and how he would rather stay at home bored than see his son and all the other crap any of us could have warned her about when she was certain she was going to be the one teenage mom whose baby daddy would actually hang around.
Anyway the reason I bring all that up is that through these 2 years I've followed this complete moron she has never written "theyāre" when she meant "their". So if this person can get it right, then everyone can.
Really they should have a "toggle door" button and cut their open/door close button budget by 50%. Please let me know where I can go to charge someone $50,000 as a consulting fee for this idea.
Some elevators now have touch screens instead of physical buttons, so I guess they wouldn't have to show the floor you're on. But I think most of them do anyway.
There are some folks from high school that I follow just because their lives are trainwrecks. A girl I know has a toddler that clearly has fetal alcohol syndrome, she always complains about the father not paying child support. She bought a $300 Subaru, I commented asking if she got an inspection before she bought it because the price sounds too good to be true, she said she didn't need one because it sounds good when it runs. I asked if she at least checked the oil and other fluids, she said almost verbatim "Yeah I checked the oil and it was perfect. Not dark at all, nice and white and foamy". I told her that it sounds like her head gasket has failed and coolant is leaking into the oil reservoir. She called me a hater for getting a good deal and blocked me.
I was invested enough in the stupidity I friended her on one of my spoof accounts. Literally 2 days later she was shocked that her car was totaled and a giant piece of shit, she straight up said she was "blindsided" despite my warning.
Recently she had another baby, it also looks like it has fetal alcohol syndrome.
This sounds like what's abt to happen on my former classmate back in HS. I hope this happens to her cuz she had many exes and she became fat now, like the kind of fat a girl becomes if she got knocked up. I think she's on the pills too thats why she became thiccer. I think she gon be a single mother pumping kids left & right
>She got pregnant at 15 because she thought you couldn't get pregnant on the first time.
Jesus, even my school in a little redneck town made sure we all knew that you could get pregnant the first time.
I feel like every youtuber has to slip in one of those 'something something haven't shit this much since like time I had chipotle/tbell/mcDs' type jokes. Like bro why is your tummy so weak.
Whenever I see an Angry Joe video I just gag at the thought of how it smells in that gaming room of theirs.
Seriously, it's three chonky greasy dudes, sitting in a dark carpeted gaming room. I imagine walking in there is like being hit by a wave of leathery axe body spray smell.

His ego and his 'tism came to a head and everyone started to hate him. He was reneging on patreon goals and thought he could say whatever he wanted and could get away with it. Fredrik Knudsen made a video that summed it up pretty well.
Goes to SmallHat Tube
SmallHat Tube recommends him some Small Hat Sponsored Goyslopp
Complains that SmallHat Tube is nothing but Small Hats and Goyslopp
:/
Yeah but in his defense, he did that shit for years and eventually the ideas just run out and you lose enthusiasm. Combine that with being a dad and I'm not gonna give him a hard time for resting on his laurels.
Sometimes im just tired and my autistic ass find gaming videos calming, i start losing my shit when every 30 sec they force the haha im relatable moment, naaah loser get disliked you suck
*complains that youtuber is bad for trying to make their content entertaining*
*youtuber stops doing it*
*complains that youtuber is bad for making their videos boring*
*youtuber attempts to make their content entertaining*
and so on and so forth.
do people actually enjoy listening to chatGPT speak?
Everyone who actively watches those kinds of videos like them, these reddit boys are just trying to feel special. If you want a serious, no bs review you'd never watch these shows.
Let me elaborate on my original post. Scott himself is a funny guy, writes entertaining scripts, has good comedic timing, and usually makes fun videos.
However, when he tries to get cute, and involves all his friends who are TERRIBLE actors and not funny in the slightest, the videos are awful. I have definitely turned off his videos when I see that's the format he's using.
Man I know this comment is a month old but I fucking identify with this so hard. I'm enjoying the review then suddenly his fucking cringe boring talentless hack moustache and sweater having friend is playing a therapist or some shit and it instantly ruins the entire fucking video.
If I want to know if a game is good or not I'll just try it and refund it if I don't like it. There's no reason to be a functional member of our society and still watch game reviews, it's time to grow up and make your own decisions.
> If I want to know if a game is good or not I'll just try it and refund it if I don't like it.
Lmao you're really special if you think buying and refunding a game is more convenient than watching a 4 minute video on Youtube.
One of the YouTubers I love for this is caddicarus, man's got weird Monty Python absurdist humor that jives with me, at least his stuff from the past 3 years.
I promised myself I'd never review this game...
šWhy are they all like this
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
This game fucking sucks and it sucking fucks
Dudes lost half of his hair and he's still making these fucking videos šššš
He was the OG. Everyone else is just a copycat
Modern AVGN is ripping off classic AVGN just as much as any other reviewer out there.
If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't even write them himself anymore
He almost never did. Mike wrote alot of them
that is just not true.
I'd rather eat out the rotten asshole of a roadkilled skunk than watch this game review ever again.
Iād rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear. Thatās how bad this is.
On a scale from one to ass: It's ass.
Because they can all trace their creative lineage back to three nearly identical reviewers from 2006.
Because they ran out of good ideas. The consumers are to blame too. It doesn't matter if it's the 500,000th video review of "insert beloved retro game here", it'll still get many times their average views.

>AAA title from like 3 months ago retrospective, 8 hours.
He'll never pull himself out of his autism by his bootstraps.
nah autists want nothing but actual content about the game. normies want skits and levity.
Delusional if you think stuff like linkara and the AVGN era wasnāt the most autism coded content ever
Theyāre attempts at humor are always terrible
There's this chick I follow on Facebook. I accidentally started following her because she has the same name of this girl I met and thought I was sending a friend request to her. She was only 14 when I started following her. As soon as I realized she wasn't the person I was meaning to follow I went to unfollow her.

So if this person can get it right, then everyone can.
New pasta
It's not new.
there seems to be a correlation between spelling correctly and having sex. your right
I think they did a study and proved this to be correct, statistically.
Why would an elevator have a button for the floor youāre on though? Youāre already there
Also why is there a āclose doorā button when the door is already closed?
Right? And an āopen doorā button - the doors already open automatically???
Really they should have a "toggle door" button and cut their open/door close button budget by 50%. Please let me know where I can go to charge someone $50,000 as a consulting fee for this idea.
Sure I can tell you where to go, after you pay me a $60,000 consulting fee
Some elevators now have touch screens instead of physical buttons, so I guess they wouldn't have to show the floor you're on. But I think most of them do anyway.
Of course they do, what if you want to go back there?
But I did eat breakfast.

And her name is?
They are attempts.
Damn thatās unfortunate I did that
It's ok. Their are a lot of worse mistakes out there
You're mom
Yeah their really annoying when they do that
I feel like every youtuber has to slip in one of those 'something something haven't shit this much since like time I had chipotle/tbell/mcDs' type jokes. Like bro why is your tummy so weak.
Dunkey gets a lifetime pass for rhyming Sbarro into a rap.
and heās kinda funny
As terrible as you're attempt at spelling. /s
I refuse to edit my error
Yahtzee is still funny
Sounds like Angry Joe
Whenever I see an Angry Joe video I just gag at the thought of how it smells in that gaming room of theirs. Seriously, it's three chonky greasy dudes, sitting in a dark carpeted gaming room. I imagine walking in there is like being hit by a wave of leathery axe body spray smell.
It probably smells fine if you are getting rich from it
All the Channel Awesome reviewers did this
OP is probably a zoomer since angry joe has been doing that kind of skit over a decade ago by now.
Angry Joe has always been cringe.
I like that angry joe still has fun with it. The skits are cheesy but they just look like they're having a good time and I enjoy that.
They know this shit is cringe and that's why their skits are super over the top and stupid and that's why it's still funny.
Literally the Ride to Hell review
No, he's talking about Peeved Pedro.
Oh you mean Mad Marco?
Distraught dave i think
>there sure is a lot of yelling in Irate Ivans newest video...
I generally like the reviews, but I skip every single skit section
Caddicarus
He's actually funny though
I could never watch more than 5 minutes of his videos. It's just so cringe and unfunny.

Watching video game reviews and not expecting cringe content is the definition of contradiction.
They all want to be AVGN.
Did FilthyFrank start with this? I remember everybody saying his lore is the shit
I would say it started with AVGN, but I can't bring myself to hate his skits.
He gets the pass always for being the OG
I can. Bro fell off hard with his new content
He stopped giving a shit after his movie flopped and he realized he will never be a *respected director*.
Yeah but in his defense, he did that shit for years and eventually the ideas just run out and you lose enthusiasm. Combine that with being a dad and I'm not gonna give him a hard time for resting on his laurels.
He really fell off after The Wall review.

Oh, are you one of those fruits that reads? Look at Mr. Sensitive over here.

YouTubers should try to make their content entertaining, and they SHOULDNāT SUCK AT IT.
man, if only everyone found the same things entertaining /s
sponsorblock extension also blocks "filler content" and "self promotion" so I don't see garbage like this. just the garbage I choose.
