In case you haven't seen yet, What Went Wrong: PSAS Part 2 is up, and it might be my favorite video I've made! Obviously you guys aren't getting charged for this one as it's an extension of another video, but I wanted to notify you anyway because of the stuff below this. Looking at the amount of enjoyment both I and the viewers got out of PSAS, I'll likely do another one of this longer, more transformative video in the future. However that isn't a "review," and as such wouldn't get charged unless I bring it to you guys beforehand. As such, I plan on changing the wording to "per structured video" or something of the like. Top 10s still wouldn't count since they're mostly a breeze to make, but anything analytical, like a review or a retrospective (as I've branded PSAS for now) would lead to a Patron charge. If you have any thoughts about this please let me know here or in the Patron chat on Discord so we may discuss! Lastly, I wanted to throw some basic outlines for the next month or three on the channel. This month, all that's left are my (and also Fabrizio's) top 10 games of the year videos, which will be up near the end of the month, the 1k subscriber Q&A vid (finally!), and potentially one memey little video for Christmas. In January, PLUSone notwithstanding, I have plans to cover Tomba 2 (not Tomba 1, fuck you Brax), Spyro 1 hopefully, and do a PSVR Buyer's Guide video for the new VR owners. That likely won't be a charged post since only one of you has more than a passing interest in VR - I mean unless you want me to charge it? By that point in the month I think only one of you would be charged. Whatever, either way! Leading into March I'll be re-reviewing Sly 1 for the second anniversary of the channel and likely covering 2-4 as well after that. Happy HanuChristmasYear'sDay to everybody if I don't make another post before the end of the year!

5 Years Later: Was PlayStation All-Stars a Failure? (Part 2)

Watch Part 1 HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AFyamDQc_k PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is a title that immediately sparks debate in many circles. To some, it's known as Sony Smash Bros.; to others, the game's name is a four letter word all its own. No matter how one cuts it, though, All-Stars has a stigma to it. Is Battle Royale REALLY just a bad Smash clone, or does it have something to offer to the genre? Today, on the fifth anniversary of the game's launch, let's take a look back to see how how we got here, how All-Stars received the reputation it has, and let's find out if it lives up to that reputation! I'll be looking at the game from three angles throughout its life: The general public and critical consensus, my own opinion at the time as a fan watching events unfold, and my critical stance now.
