I hate this shit. If you're not going to be even slightly academic in your analysis what's the fucking point. I have a labour job where I listen to a lot of podcasts/videos and usually just let youtube autoplay onto the next thing, and the amount of zoomer/gen a fags trying to do this content that basically just rehash the plot and tell you what a manual would say is insane

As I was typing this I realised it's because I'm generally looking to learn more about something ive already played and hear other people's opinions, but the target audience for a lot of the videos I'm getting is people who want to watch a video about something instead of actually engaging with the primary source.

>>712850206
They're just copying "video essays" as a supposed format without any actual insight into a game nor any idea what an essay is.

>>712851894
The whole point of those quests being shit is because the bitch was in league with the camonna tong, but yeh he looks way too deep into shit with these videos when it was todd probably goofing off with the writing.

Also todd wrote the imperial legion questline in morrowind which is funny because it implies Todd can write better than the current hack lead writer Emil.

Basically pseudo-intellectual rambling of surface-level themes and plot points. Lot's of extreme reaching for the sake of sounding like they encountered something profound. These video essays are essentially shallow undergrad 5-page essays.

Worst one I saw was OG FF7 being "lonely," but the "loneliness" was likely because of graphical and hardware limitations rather than the devs trying to do something profound like the Youtuber kept reaching about. Absolute pseudo-intellectual cringe.

If you DON'T want something like this, I Finished a Video Game is really good. He goes on about the history of the studios and devs involved, and talks about how the choices to make a game shaped the overall experience in general, and for him (while also summarizing stuff).

I'm not gonna give you a complete list, but sure:
>Moby Dick
One Piece is at least 100x better. Fucking Mont Blance, a side character that exists for like 50 chapters, is better than Ahab, the best character in the book.

>Crime and Punishment
Breaking Bad is miles better.

>The Brother Karamazov
Hard to say. The story is definitely better than any video game's, however, I wouldn't exactly consider it a masterpiece. It's good. No doubt about that, but things like Eva, Monster, Logh, GitS, etc. are simply better written.

Also, it really doesn't help that I don't believe in Christianity because, unlike basically everyone else on the internet, I've actually read Nietzsche. So, I can't help but not take the supposed "profound" dilemmas he tries to deal with not seriously, because they're so poorly executed and handled. And don't get me started on how fucking bloated it is. I don't care about some random monk fasting.

>inb4 what about video games
I misspoke. However, I would consider p3 to have a better story than both moby dick and crime and punishment.

I'm a bitter fag who very specifically hates video essays. Essayist are no different than when an English teacher asks their students to analyze and deconstruct what the author meant when the main character does a simple action, when in reality there's no deeper meaning to it at all. It also extremely bothers me that these essayist have zero respect for the viewers time. They drag and drag and drag on, when things can easily be said in significantly fewer words and be more impactful. They seem to think word count, or in this case video length, is representative of quality. It's really fucking not and it doesn't help that the education system reinforces that idea.

>sad /v/tard who can't imagine people liking things?
As a matter of fact anon, I'm always in these type of threads encouraging other anons to make videos and share their stuff even if it is video essays. Even if I dislike the genre, I like watching what fellas from here are making.

Double plot twist. I used to make my own video essays, but I was never pretentious about it and I always focused on the actual game, my experience, keeping the essay itself succinct and trying to make the audience laugh. I quit cause I realized I never liked them in the first place and I wanted to upload more than once a month, if I was even lucky enough to do that. Despite doing Let's Plays now, I haven't fully escaped it cause I write something up for the end of every single video

Honestly after writing all this I do feel bad about the last post. I mean I still think essayist are gay. I just feel bad about shitting on something someone else enjoys. I'm sorry anon.

>>712857228

The problem is that the vidya essay pool has been sullied by retards making hour+ analyses of singular Nintendo games
Mind you, I appreciate a long video about a single game if it’s worth diving into or includes a lot of history about the studio, etc
But Twilight Princess and Kirby Super Star do not need hour long videos analyzing their “plots”
The people that flood the market with videos like that are likely afraid of deeper games and not being able to say anything substantial, so they pick something simple and even infantile to just pour hours into
A vidya essay about something like Baldur’s Gate 1, Silver Case, etc is perfectly fine because there’s a lot to dissect

Also while on the subject, channels like Designing For or Design Doc are 100% horrible because they make these very lengthy videos on shit like “how Mario’s jump arc…changed everything…”
You do not need to break down for hours on end the importance of Mario’s control handling, much of it is self explanatory
It’s like retards that analyze singular scenes from movies

>>712848753 (OP)

His ideas about the ubermensch are his most retarded ones, unfortunately. I like the parts where he explores man's relation to society and to other people, like in Beyond Good and Evil as well as in Twilight of the Idols.

>>712857150

You can make a lot of arguments against IJ, but I don't think "trite" is one of them. Overwrought, overly maximalist, meandering, onanistic, has a lack of resolution, but I don't know about trite. I say all that, and it is easily one of my favorite books.

>>712858532

I can't say for certain how many video essayists are self aware enough to be taking advantage of this, but a lot of people just keep the longer videos on in the background as white noise. That audience just wants a long video to play vaguely video game related dialogue, quality of content be damned, and surely at least a few of those ridiculously long video essays have been made with that purpose in mind.

No, that's not my point. I decided to read some of the best books ever written, and because I don't give a shit about what other people think, I realised literature as a whole is overrated as shit.

9/10 of the retards replying to me probably haven't even read a single one of them. They just feel the need to defend """real"" literature, because obviously anime and video games can't be taken seriously unlike """real"" literature.

That's not a problem. People who haven't even played the game shouldn't be watching video about it.

Just ignore the retards.

I've watched all of Matthewmatosis' videos about Zachtronics despite never having played more than half of Infinifactory because I got filtered

why is it so hard to find retards who meaningfully think about game design instead of just babbling about surface level shit

It's funny how not a single person ITT has been able to tell me what happens in these scenes:

Literature is the most overrated medium of all time, and everyone defending it has never even read the books they're defending.

Fuck literally everyone

Probably pretty rough, I ain't gonna lie, I'm too poor to make an actual good sound setup. I have one of the nicer standalone mics with a pop filter and just record at my desk.

Seems like there's two illiterate tards ITT

you do realise this post makes no sense, right?

>>712850206
Because they're people who jumped on the fad to make money but just fundamentally don't understand analysis

Yes it does
Let me break it down for you

It was an experiment. I probably won't do it again. I'm also a low IQ individual who doesn't have the spare brainpower to talk and play well at the same time.

That book is GENUINELY kino

I know, that's why I told him to read it

I considered making a video essay about how bad the Netflix Cowboy Bebop adaptation was, and I was plotting out the editing work I'd do, scene comparisons, explaining very simple terms why all the changes made things worse, etc.
The "hot take" would've been that Netflix Ed was fine, they just waited too long to introduce her and she clashes too much with everything else they toned down
But I ultimately wasn't interested enough and everyone forgot about that piece of shit a month after it came out anyway

Spamming/Flooding

Who started the trend of holding a drink or their lav/desk mic while yapping about some bullshit for hours? So weird.

>>712858858
I just quoted your posts, anon. Anything else you read into it is your doing.

>>712860932
Proptip: only make a video essay about something that you feel obsessed with. Basically, unless you feel like you need to make a video about something, lest you go insane, don't.

I remember being told by 1000's of anons that pic related podcast was really good and they went into deep analysis about games.
I listened to a couple and it was literally just recapping the story.
What made it extra insulting and stupid is the game they were discussing was one of the mega man's and so it was just literally them saying
>and then mega man shoots the bad guy and he gets the new weapon!
>oh dude that weapon is sweet! i love it so much
>Yeah bro then he uses that weapon to kill the next guy and then he's able to move on to the castle
>oh bro this is where the game gets so sweet!

I couldn't believe people were seriously recommending this shit.

I've been obsessed with Cowboy Bebop since I was 11, and most of the video essays about it are super surface level and about how it's sad or whatever, I saw making a video about the Netflix version as almost like some kind of impotent form of revenge I could take but the show was cancelled after a week and nobody else even cared enough to hate on it any longer than that more or less so the discourse wasn't even there.
Ironically if it had gained some middling audience like a lot of other pozzed adaptations and gotten another season I probably would've followed through on my plan.
Now I'm considering making one about Final Fantasy X and how it's a better example of existential post-apocalypse fiction, and I would've called it "2001: A Blitzball Odyssey" and constantly refer back to the line "When people die, and Yuna dances" because I think that's hilarious but I'll wait until they inevitably announce a remake because I'd get the most bang for my buck

>video essay
>youtuber halfway through uses it to come out as trans

>>712848753 (OP)
why would you want to watch a videogame essay to begin with?

>>712861568
Sounds like a plan.

Good luck.
