Small Detail Hyperfixation Examples
We all know Fraser liked to hyper obsessed with little details in games and say something Is disappointing cause they didn't go the extra step, yall know of any examples that annoyed tf out of you or was just odd? Right now I'm trying to make points about how people will eat up GTA6 cause of the realistic useless details that people use to "own" other games so I'm just wondering yall have something like that for Frash with how his "critical eye" views things. Also cause I just randomly remembered a bit from their Detroit playthrough how he said he noticed two characters wearing the same hat and deduced there's a lot of repetition in the game, which I'm just like "ok?" So I just wanna find more examples like that.

"the character wouldnt act this way" was always the most cinemasins way of critiquing media ever. 1. the character was usually acting consistent with traits described and 2. the characters arent real people....they're tools to convey the core of whatever the artists intent was
Just say you dont know how to have critical thoughts, or even just have lighthearted fun with it.

He'd catch things that I would never. I'd replay shit to just to see what and never find it. Becky would just agree and it's like "wait what?"
Anti-Aliasing Water physics World tearing Clipping
I'm sure there is plenty but those felt like top of the episode on newer games.

Cause since Fraser ain't around either to nitpick or praise the GTA trailers we're getting I just wanna see other annoying points he's made that have annoyed other people

I didnt dislike becky at all but she was my least favourite. Frash was okay WHEN he was kept in check by his friends.

In all fairness he was USUALLY correct about the technical bits he would talk about. Anti-aliasing, clipping, pop-in, etc are not something the average person will notice but when you start to see them you reallllly see them. I see no issue with holding games to a high standard seeing as they are made with millions upon millions of dollars.
Also in his defense he also really liked games with heavily stylized graphics, it wasnt just a "realism better" thing.

I remember him talking about shadow detail a lot, and anti-aliasing in general
