He said almost nothing about the game's execution and quality, he pretty much just mocked it on a conceptual level the entire time without giving it anything resembling a chance. Nobody elses.įor the record I haven't watched much-if-any of Totalbuscuit's videos aside from the one posted in the first post, and he went INTO the game hating it before hitting the start button and didn't let up the whole time. I'm sorry if your tiny, stupid brain can't realize the difference between a reviewer and a critic, but thats just YOUR problem. he plays several hours of the game prior to recording, then he starts from the beginning (unless its a story game then he starts like 20 minutes in) and gives first impressions and points out the negatives and positives. Here are some of his videos on games where he really liked the game's in question: That is his favorite game of all time. Originally posted by dynastystar:Totalbiscuit is not an "LPer in short form", it is his job to look at the positives AND the negatives of a game based on the beginning of the game. So one person gets pissed off and lectures me about how TotalBuscuit isn't a reviewer.Īnother gets pissed off and lectures me about how he is a "critic" (which is functionally the same as a reviewer).Īlso anyone who tries to judge the positives and negatives of a game based solely on the beginning of it is a terrible critic. 98% of people who do, aren't reviewers, but also just "first impressionists" And exactly that behavior is the reason why myself and others respect him.Īnd for me personally it's also the fact he doesn't call himself a reviewer. He knows how influential he is in the industry, and that is exactly why he wouldn't post something like the video linked in the OP on his main-channel. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have known about this game.īesides, there's a HUGE difference between the viewershipcount of Genna's channel (~100k?) and TB's channel (nearing 2.000.000). He might not like HuniePop, I certainly do and am glad they uploaded the stream at least to her channel. "if you know theres something you and your viewers agree on why talk about it" Because his viewers are quite diverse. My opinion was mainly "if you dislike a game and know your viewership dislikes it also, why are you bothering to make a video about it?". He's meant to inform you on what the game has to offer, and he's going to inform you on what the game could've done better. He's going to have games that he thinks are terrible, he's going to have games that he loves the ♥♥♥♥ out of, and he's going to have games that he thinks have alot strengths and weaknesses. on a game that surprised him on how good it was: on the game which happened to be his GOTY of 2014: One of the roguelikes that he actually likes(bear in mind, Roguelikes are close to the bottom of genres that he likes), along with liking this: Totalbiscuit is not an "LPer in short form", it is his job to look at the positives AND the negatives of a game based on the beginning of the game. "first impressionists" are basically LP'ers in short-form. I didn't call TotalBuscuit a reviewer, I said LP'ers and Reviewers.
