Girlfriend Reviews: Detroit become human

I deleted my message because I understand that my question, that legitimately was meant with no ill-intent, will sooner or later turn into "here's why or why not this should be a thread". I didn't mean to complain about OP posting the the video, but wanted to get an idea why certain videos are being put into spotlight without "bigger"/more detailed commentary from OP (And I guess with last sentence it goes back to why posting my questions wasn't a good idea to begin with). So, I'm sorry.

Yeah, ever since David Cage destroyed the best friends, this has been a ray of light in an unforgiving world.
Because people make them and other people like them. Nothing stopping you for posting threads on videos you like.
wait, are we allowed to make posts about our own content? im legitimately asking...
It's probably the most solid Cage game overall, though still pretty flawed.
My fav is Heavy Rain tho.

so only others content, gotcha, thanks!
She views the Hank/Connor sections of the game as it's highlight.
Good video, even though I definitely don't agree with everything she said.
I really enjoyed the QuickTime events in Detroit, I thought it (and Until Dawn) had some of the best implementation of QTEs in gaming. I didn't think they took away from the game at all

Is it just me or her voice is starting to look more and more like the voice of that girl from Cybernet?
Good thing Ive already watched Breaking Bad and played Detroit Become human. Not a fan of reviews having so many spoilers. Great content none the less, and she has a great sense of humor.
She likes the game overall, but not the QTE gameplay or the ham-fisted social commentary
I have to agree with her, if the constant pointless button prompts where removed the game would be much more enjoyable to play.
Disagree and I usually don't like QTEs. The fact that failing those sequences has actual consequences and the fact that they aren't easy means I enjoyed them. Because they actually do serve a real purpose.
Those are a minority of the interaction in the game, and are more tolerable. It's the times where the game just freezes and waits your your to push a button or tilt a stick before continuing that really bother me.
The videos are consistent but I'm concerned they are pivoting pretty heavily into the "nerd/gamer" demographic, despite the channel's USP being deliberately in opposition to that.
I will still watch their videos over the huge amounts of garbage on YT, though. Not shouting and lack of fake outrage goes a long way.

Unique Selling Point. The first video was portraying the channel as "I have no idea wtf is going on with these games, here's how I view them from an outsider lens". this was very refreshing and the core source of the humour. Now it's morphing into memes and gamer in-jokes, which are still relatively funny but definitely not how the channel started.
Pretty much means who the channel is being marketed towards. Which I would argue it actually has always been targeted at "nerds/gamers" but it way of "what does a non-gamer think of my hobby" which is cool with me as long as it doesn't become blatant

I don't see how she could continue to do it the way she had originally without faking it. Watching her bf play videogames all the time is going to make her know something about videogames.
And she's dead-on about Detroit!

Good points. State of Mind was a much deeper exploration of the AI subject for me. It has quite some problems too but it is sad to see that it didn't get more attention with all the money thrown at Detroit (that has a cringeworthy second half and sub-mediocre closings of all character arks).

Fun video, but hard disagree on removing the gameplay mechanics that literally can result in changing the plot (bending story) if you fail them or choose something in the heat of the moment other than the slow-paced "choose your own adventure" dialog options.
Everything else I can get behind, to a good degree. Shame they misrepresented someone based on looks alone (Bryan Dechart), when they showed all the other actual actors, like the famous Mr Crabs :P

The scripts are a mix of both of their knowledge. And then he does the video editing and she does the narration.
I mean, I think it is pretty safe to assume that a video about a game that came out almost a year ago might contain spoilers for that game. I did not catch the Breaking Bad spoiler but if she spoiled a show that was not the focus of the video I think it is understandable to be irked by that a bit.
This is the first video of her's that I have watched and I found it pretty enjoyable.
I disagree. I view reviews as informing people on if they should play or not. Not throwing constant spoilers regardless of age. And yes, she shows the ending of breaking bad.
Great personality, and good humor but I will be avoiding future videos
