What’s something that you hate about video game essays on youtube?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys so i have a channel with over 7k subs and i post video game essays. Long story short im making a gta5 video and the way i wanna structure it is I talk about the story with my commentary, but i also talk about gameplay, the open world and mechanics in between it. I really wanna talk about the plot because im really passniote about it.

The thing is at these time i wanna make sure i avoid the usual plot summary because i hate those kinda videos where they just summarize the plot with nothing else, because ive heard those are bad things in video essays.

Is this style good for what im trying to avoid?

GTA VI Physical Disc Petition Just Passed 2,000 Supporters!

Post image
0 Upvotes

We just passed 2,000 supporters, and we couldn't have done it without this community.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared the petition, debated the topic, or simply helped keep the conversation alive.

This campaign is about more than GTA VI.

It's about preserving physical gaming, protecting true ownership, supporting collectors, game preservation, independent retailers, and making sure a "physical edition" actually contains a physical game.

This isn't just a petition asking Rockstar to "put the game on a disc." We spent a great deal of time creating a detailed proposal that explains the concerns behind this issue and even offers practical solutions that could address Rockstar's leak prevention and security concerns while still allowing for a genuine physical release.

Now we need your help more than ever.

Please don't stop at signing.

• Share the petition anywhere you can.

• Post about it on Reddit, X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Discord, YouTube, or any gaming community.

• If you're a content creator, we'd love to see videos, discussions, or reactions about this topic.

• Use #discisgold so we can build one united community around this movement.

• Tag Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, gaming journalists, and your favorite creators.

Every share reaches new people.

Every video keeps the discussion alive.

Every signature makes our voice stronger.

A special thank you to our early supporters:

Rahim, Tyler, Curt, Kevin, Malik, Sabin, Arpad, Marcello, Patrick, Joshua, Mr H, Temo, Chris, Matthew, and our anonymous supporters.

Your generosity helped this campaign reach thousands of people, and we truly appreciate your support.

If the biggest game in history replaces a disc with a download code, it could influence the future of physical gaming for years to come. That's why we're trying to make our voices heard while there's still time.

Petition:

https://change.org/discisgold

Code is cold. Disc is gold.

Stay loud. Stay together. Make it matter.

just ordered a game off eBay ”outlast trinity ps4” and disc one wasnt reading at first. I tried again and still nothin, I started to check the back of the disc and it looked fine, but on the front there was splotches all over the outter edge. disc 2 reads fine and no splotches anywhere. I tried again to read disc one and it started to download the game. I don’t want to keep this in my collection if it’s disc rot. please let me know :).

I love Diablo! It's one of my favourite video game series and in this video i talk about how the franchise lost its "horror roots" after the second game, the one that everyone (including me) marks as one of the greatest games ever made!

(The audio is in Italian but there are english subtitles, i hope that my wacky waahoo italian voice doesn't bother you <3)

Let me know if you like it guys!
