If you're a little eagle eyed you might have noticed a video very similar to this one popping up on your recommendations recently. Some of the same talking points, similar conclusions, even a few similar examples. To clarify, this video was entirely written and recorded prior to me seeing that video. All similarities are purely coincidental, and I reached out to the creator of that video to clarify everything beforehand once I stumbled onto it.

Amazing video man, honestly you put it perfectly. The more I see people praising cinematic games as if they are the only good games just because they resemble movies, the more I think we need to stop comparing this media as if it was a lesser one Also, gaming has another barrier besides skill, the very act of playing is difficult. Most people who engage in this conversation have been playing since they were kids and might not remember, but for anyone trying games for the first time, be it on M&K or a controller, they'll have a hard time, every game will be challenging for them

@AsadAnjum 5 месяцев назад

Your second point is a big one, I totally missed that one but you're right. Understanding how to use a controller is not easy when you're new to it.

I’m having this identity crisis lately with whether or not I’m a loser for enjoying video games at 24 years old. Online, playing video games is applauded the older you get whereas in real life, it seems the more socially unaccepted gaming is the older you are. I see all these RU-vid game reviewers in their thirties and forties making content online and I always question how they remain so confident and at peace with reviewing/discussing video games as a living. Do they experience regret for choosing this career? Do they feel socially ostracized around their friends/families for having a non-conforming career? Do they feel like an adult? Do they feel like they have “made it” in life? I love gaming. State of Plays and Showcases are the equivalent to Super Bowls to me and I don’t even watch Football. I’m just at a crossroad where I’m getting older and it seems the interest I like are getting more ridiculed by society the older I get.

Genuinely I think the best thing to do is not give it too much thought. Grown adults who judge other people for having hobbies and interests that are different from their own typically aren't the kind of people whose approval means much. If you like this stuff, you like it, don't worry about if that's cool to other people. There'll always be places to express that enjoyment even if it's not with the people immediately around you. Hope you find some closure on all this, it's not worth overthinking your interests and losing them just because you think people will think you're a little lame. Keep your head up buddy

@@AsadAnjum I definitely needed to hear that, especially from someone whose words hold merit. Thanks man

@HishamA.N_Comicbroe 5 месяцев назад

Had that feeling too but realized that at some point we all gotta let go of that need for approval & realize that good art will remain good art regardless. There are tons of adults with good following who make videos about comic books & shonen (for teens) anime & manga. It's all cool.

There is something artistically beautiful about experiencing the story, combat, and atmosphere yourself rather than seeing someone else experience it. That is something I'd say are unique to video-games. It definitely is an artform.

Keep making videos man. You're starting to make it into the yt recommended algorithm. Just please don't make it political (not that you have) Neenah we need less reasons to divide and more to come together

I will never understand why conservative outlets hate video games so much. You’d think they’d love FPS games at least…

@Fachewachewa 5 месяцев назад

Boring topic but correct take 🤓 Also I find it funny that the people pandering to gamers like Geoff often use the "games are bigger than movies and all those stuff combined" line, but they'll also keep acting like mobile games aren't real games, even though the biggest part of games being bigger than everthing else is thanks to a lot of awfully designed mobile games. And as a bonus the media then doesn't have the tool to analyse those awful designs (and what's differentiating them from better ones) when they get into the games they're playing, because they have no experience with them.

@AsadAnjum 5 месяцев назад

Agree on the fairly boring topic, but it's one that I think gets dragged into gloomy/negative territory pretty often so I wanted to send it in another direction. Was gonna be a quicker vid, got a little longer cause I didn't have my mic for a few weeks and kept punching in new ideas into it lol. Still had a fun time with it Mobile gaming is a huge chunk of the revenue share that's true, and yeah you could argue a lot of it is garbage. But I see it like youtube. There's tons of weird throwaway half baked repetitive stuff on here (could never be me 👀) that keep people on the site longer, just like a lot of mobile games quickly capture people's attention and them they hop on to the next one. To me that proves that people want to engage with it in the first place, and while they might end up playing a lot of boring slop they still want to play games at the end of the day. So I'd still consider the figure relevant to the interest in games overall, even if it's a lot of bottom of the barrel stuff

@Fachewachewa 5 месяцев назад

@@AsadAnjum Oh yeah yeah, and tbf even when it's good mobile games, gamers and press don't really care about them, with a few rare exceptions. It's just funny because it's basically "I don't care about you but I'll still take credit for your success" :D
