So many of these guys' voices and even intonation are so similar, and half the time I can tell what they're about to say as though I've heard the script before. There's no identity behind many of them,

This is especially true in the long format game review scene. It's also annoying that people who do these things clearly believe they are very intelligent.

I wish there was more Middle Ground between the over-the-top game show host style video that starts with a plug to hit like & subscribe, and the completely monotone droning of someone with no style at all.

Man is that a great point. The tone I mentioned, it's almost always the trademark "I Am Very Smart"

Talking about a movie for longer than its runtime should be illegal tbh.

A lot of these fucks also insist on differentiating between subjective criticism and "objective" criticism, with varying degrees of success. The only guy I can think of that has a distinction that makes any sense is that one guy who did a 10+ hour review of another guys Dark Souls 2 review. Can't remember the name off the top of my head.

Nothing gets you blacklisted faster from my homepage than a 30 minutes "analysis" of a 2 minutes teaser.

GTFO of here!

I remember that JosephAnderson guy had a meltdown over people's criticism of how he handled Silent Hill. "Subjectivity is implied"

Link to meltdown?

I'm interested because Joseph Anderson almost always has pretty well thought out reviews and opinions

NakeyJakey and Matt McMuscles pretty much the only interesting ones

I blame Cleanprincegaming for this surge in video essays though. While he has long cleaned up his act, many wannabes hopped onto the format hoping for easy views
