    100% correct. If you have to play a game for 100 hours before it gets good, it doesn't get good. You get used to it.

      Starfield was fun to me for the first 12 hours. Probably when I'd seen just how shit the main story was. So I had a reverse-experience but ended at the same conclusion (eventually)

      Most of my favorite games are like that though. Some may not require 100 hours, more like 50 hours is more common, but some games require way more than 100 hours. I do play mostly difficult games so basically it's just practice before you get to enjoy the games mechanics with some competence, but there's a charm in that journey to building that skill so it's not completely awful in the beginning, but it's nothing compared to when you get there. Also it's not just about skill in every case, but grinding the gear or whatever you need to get to the interesting content.

    "Reviews are just someone's opinion" - most of the time, yes.
    Sometimes however, they are the *developer* or *publishers* opinion simply rewritten by someone else. We've all read a review and thought at the end "did they play a differrent game to me?" "what back door deal lead to this?" etc.

    • @altaydogahan342
      @altaydogahan342 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      "That's their review so that's their opinion, so that means they're sort of right." Is a terribly wrong statement. Opinions are wrong all the time. That's what makes them different from facts. I wish he'd changed the wording.

    • @water1374
      @water1374 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@altaydogahan342Well, opinions in this context are just a subjective analysis of the facts. A game could be a buggy mess or nearly flawless but whether it's a 2/10 or a 9/10 is entirely based on the reviewers opinion. You can't actually have a wrong opinion and I think saying that opinions are always right is just a way of negating the idea that they could be wrong rather than to say that they are literally objectively right. There's a better way to word it sure, but his point's still valid; a review can't be wrong. You can have bad opinions however, but even that is just someone else's subjective belief about them.

      @@altaydogahan342 Opinions ar not "wrong all the time". That is a terribly wrong statement. You cannot say opinions are wrong and then say thats what makes them different from facts? A fact is either true or false. An "opinion" only becomes "wrong" once it contradicts the truth. For example if I were to say "I hate this game because they have aliens instead of zombies!" but the game in fact does not have any aliens at all, then that opinion is wrong because the game never had Aliens to begin with.

    There’s a reason TB (rip) focussed on first impressions. You can tell a LOT about most games with 10 minutes of post tutorial gameplay. Very few hold their surprises until hundreds of hours later other than MMO or new game plus (and those games devs are usually shouting from the rooftops about just how clever they are).
    Economise your time, a simple 15-20 minute of relatively uncut footage from early in is more than enough for most of us. You are a reliable and known factor enough by now that even something you don’t like can flag as something that we may want to wishlist (be it for a deep discount or because the day one purchase looks worthwhile).

    You invested your time in it so you get to put out more videos which will get you more views, that just make sense. I would suggest to create a different play list for the quick reviews with a specific overall name ("worth a glance", or something similar) which then also allows you to have to put in less effort into those reviews. That way we can differentiate between the two review types and it's obvious to everyone that a short review is going to involve less effort from your side, while the longer reviews are still the same effort and quality.

      thats why steam reviews are somewhat reliable, you have those that have 1000 hours of play time and those that throw up a one word review ''shit'' after playing 0.5hrs... we know which ones to ignore right...
      im very surprised he is openly admitting he is going to review games on very little time played, i dont support that at all, but you are absolutely right he should disclose play time to go along with the review so we can judge if it has any value or if its just like the 0.5hr steam tripe reviews that actually have no idea because they didn't bother.

      im not excited at all about a reviewer admitting they are going to sacrifice the quality of a review to fit more in, and that is exactly what a ''professional'' reviewer is saying when they say they are sick of playing games that take too long to review and they are going to start judging games in no time at all. Wouldn't be a problem if he said we are going to see many more first impressions and even that they may not be followed up by a review if he just does not like it enough to play it but he said he is just going to bang out a review anyway lol.

    Well Daymaker, I think you've got a good head on your shoulders and this new approach is a wise choice.

    Keep on with the indie games! It’s why I joined your channel! We have enough reviewers covering AAA games. Your indie reviews is what makes your channel desirable (to me).

    I agree with changes you are going forward. No point waisting time on something you don't like from first 15-20 min of your time.

    @eagleeye5397 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I enjoy your reviews. They are always balanced and detailed. Even though you may not like a game you take the time to highlight what others might like about it. I hope these quality reviews continue with your new format

    Love your videos probably the only channel i literally get a smile on my face and click straight away when i see a new one... gutted there won't be as many long form ones but if that's how you want to go that's cool... Keep the content coming and all the best 👍

    Awesome, I think it's a good idea to get better range and good because I found your perspective is often missing when I'm looking into a new game so good you will be covering more! :D

    Seeing that shot of the ship coming out of the jump gate and seeing the station and traffic ect with the planet in the background at 01:46 .... I had a really big stab of nostalgia from playing Freelancer xD

    You're on the right path, Mack. Indie is the way to go. There's no hope for Triple-A or Quadruple-A.

  • @quixadhal
    @quixadhal 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I approve. I think there are games where it takes some time to figure them out and see if they're going to have longevity... but there's also plenty of games where if you hate it after an hour, you're not gonna stop hating it if you force yourself to slog through it.
    Games that you really love or hate after 15 minutes are pretty much set in stone. Games you're unsure of are the ones you need hours to play through and see how they evolve as you go. This is especially true with many games being on gamepass these days. If I download something and get bored in 30 minutes, it gets deleted and it's not likely I'm giving it another chance. Too many other choices out there to try.

  • @littleaussierippa

  • @harrybalsagna187

    My brother basically despises TH-camrs of all kinds but I got him into watching your reviews every time he wants a game. Even got him saying “is it worth a buy?! Let’s read the words the words” every time he searches for a review. you’re the only reviewer I watch even though I still just make my own decisions, I value yours. Best of luck in all you do from the 🇺🇸 😢

  • @SilvXl
    @SilvXl 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm totally onboard with all the changes! Cheers! That being said, there's a game I've been anticipating that was recently released called "Solium Infernum". I would greatly appreciate it if you gave your two cents on it since there's a lack of non-developer-sponsored content on it.

  • @timmyt1717
    @timmyt1717 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Makes sense to me to try and do more and even some added indie titles is always welcomed! And right on to give a game a bit of time before your thoughts compared to a ton of hours to say, "it's okay." But we trust you, Mack. And don't overload yourself on too many titles!!! Rabbit might not forgive you! ^o^

  • @SgtEmissary
    @SgtEmissary 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This does look cool, I do get the Euro Truck vibes out of it. Speaking of Star Field, I knew years ago back in 2018 when it was announced that it wouldn't be up to the standard. I knew this guy who was raving about it everytime we talked, he just wouldn't shut up about it and was saying it was gonna be the next big game and there I was shaking my head; never once did I get onto the hype train about it. My first thoughts were just that it's gonna be shite and people are gonna expect too much out of it and it's not gonna deliver with how ambitious it sounded. Now a days I wonder what he's thinking about it.

    IGN is not always just someone’s opinion. Often times publishers pay for better reviews or black ball you if you don’t give the correct opinion.

  • @scottspencer5242
    @scottspencer5242 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am a fan of the change of direction. While I have absolutely no problem with the length of the reviews thus far, the idea of more frequent albeit shorter reviews covering a wider berth of games is greatly appealing given how many interesting indie games there are out there.

  • @danmavin_sos
    @danmavin_sos 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I see the concept, have tried the demo also, not bad, but theres not too much to see in space, kimd of just drifting, they nailed the truck sim experience quite fun. Challenging also, got to get used to those space lanes, great vid , and whatever direction you go in us lot will be watching . Good to see another north easterner grinding 💪

  • @mrrodjones
    @mrrodjones 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Glad to hear this Mack. Simply because more content from you is always a good thing. You don’t need to play a game for 50 hours to form an opinion on it. A good game (let alone a great one) should have your attention after 30-60 minutes.

  • @CatConnoisseur
    @CatConnoisseur 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great change. For several of your recent reviews, I’ve been left wondering, “Mac, why are you doing this to yourself. Just stop.” For me, the best value of your channel is alerting me to new indie games that might otherwise fly under the radar, so I’m glad you will be able to cover more.

  • @gphoenix51
    @gphoenix51 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Honestly don't understand why it's so hard for people to get that reviews are other people's opinions. If someone doesn't like a review, it's not the end of the world or an attack. I don't get why people are so damn offended all the time. You do what you need to do Mack, love the channel and I'm excited to see where it goes.
    Also, really excited for Star Trucker. I love that there are actual buttons and switches that move that you interact with.

    @stivraptor 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    First of all, thank you for all the work you have been putting throughout the years, I have been subscribed to your channel for at least 6 years if i remember and will be subscribed for the foreseeable future. You are right, a review is just someone's opinion and should be taken as this, however when you review a game you also give information and sometimes you can misinterpret something in a game and as a result derive a conclusion and might give incorrect information to the viewer which can be misleading. I think your recent helldivers 2 review had this issue. I understand the changes you are making to the channel and at the end you should do what you feel is best for you and your enjoyment, but remember that the less you play a game, the greater the chance that you might misinterpret a feature or a detail as well, its something to keep in mind.
    I wish you all the best and I write this truly because i like this channel and this is the only channel i watch for reviews, and I'm gaming for more than 20 years now.

  • @Zapall01
    @Zapall01 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Love the new direction as long as they are "shorter" videos as you say. It's great to have a quick ~4 minute look at a game you may dislike just so we can learn more about it.
