Also love long videos, but when your boss comes to you and says, "Let's make a big digest, a couple of hours long, about the development of our games, since people like it"…
Yeah fuck shorts/reels/stories or whatever they fuck they call them, i hate them so much, they mostly suck, feels like the worst use of 30 seconds of my life, if i go on YouTube why the hell would i watch a YouTube short instead of a normal video,i wish they would stop trying to push that crap on me
Me watching someone's Drakenguard 4 hour essay and there original AND remastered(?) Essay on the Baroque game instead of the 100+ 3-20 min videos I have on watch later list.
Video Essay about game as in "guy talks about what happens in the video game" or "guy talks about history, production, advertisements, and reception of video game"?
One of my faces is this one, it's about a FMV PS2 game that only came in japan. It's sad it never came to the west seeing it would have become a cult classic overnight.
I've marathoned videos of Battletech lore ranging from 15 minutes to 4.5 hours (counting all sections of the multi-part videos). They made long, boring work nights much more tolerable.
Honestly I'd rather learn about something, even if it isn't a ps1 game I haven't played in decades, but something in general that has an in depth analysis, then a quick 2 second "easily digestable thing" and not question any aspect of it, because I'd rather see how conclusions are gotten to.
Youtube on mennyt ihan päin mäntyä monella taholla mutta kyllä sieltä aina vastaan tulee tunnin mittaista videota jostain todella tietynlaisesta aiheesta mitä ei voi muuta kuin jäädä katselmaan kiehtovasti.
(this image almost gives me the same vibes as the "kids these days have video games and spend all day inside. when WE were kids we we'd be out throwing rocks at each other for fun" or w/e boomer FB img posts)
I sometimes have 2-3+ hours videos about games and movies I’ve never played or watched play in the background, I just like the dedication and enthusiasm (although if it’s a hate rant I usually tell right away and skip)
I’ve recently been watching long analysis videos on horror games like The Park, and Amnesia The Bunker. I have no idea why; I don’t like being scared and have never played horror games. For some reason I’m invested in learning about them without playing or watching gameplay.
