I absolutely appreciate you guys sharing my videos, its the best way I am going to grow, there's no doubt about it!
However, Reddit doesn't seem to like me very much, it honestly looks like it both pisses them off over there while connecting with certain people.
I checked the overall response to a sharing on /r/games and almost all of the top comments either disagreed with just the premise of the series or that I am critical of other reviewers is going too far and that everyone should have their opinions left alone.
There were barely any positive comments outside of some people asking whether those who are critiquing the series have even watched it.
It was an experience to read through it all, there's no denying it. The weird part is that I have gained over 50 subs from that post while receiving only mostly negative feedback from the thread.
The current top comment is that I likely don't have formal training and simply miss the most important parts of analysis which, honestly, i'm open to the idea of but I wish they would be more specific because it mostly comes across as pretentious, when they admit to not even watching part 1.
Overall I made that series for my fans who were requesting it and the most common question i'm facing from detractors is "Why give Outlast this treatment?" Which leaves me in an awkward position haha.
Honestly though it has been fun and I think Outlast has come and gone for me now.
Next up for the channel is a series of games I have sworn not to do videos on because it is huge as a piece of design but someone I am subscribed to released such a butchered mess of a video on it that I couldn't resist exploring their arguments and ideas.
It's the "Soulsborne" series and the channel I am responding to is HBomberGuy. I understand that people have trouble with my responses to critic stuff but at least this guy took a swing at Matthewmatosis and you guys really like him right? ;)
so HBomb is far from exempt from criticism.
This series is going to be huge and its going to involve loads of discussion about the Dark Souls games so I'm hoping that people are going to enjoy it, I would say i'm 70% through my first draft and its already at 50K words. for reference the Amnesia and SOMA videos were 70K.
So! if you wanna ask me anything, go ahead, I'll give you guys an update in 2 weeks! thanks for watching :)
