In essence this was fantastic. The idea itself is fantastic, the way it was shot was amazing, the idea was awesome. It fell short for me in the fact that by somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes I was feeling over saturated with the idea. I felt I'd seen enough things flying and crashing in slow mo at that point and wanted it to open up into something new. Like in my mind I was envisioning suddenly the guy starts dancing in slow motion or something using people instead of objects. It just felt like it didn't keep building, it stayed doing the same thing it began doing.
When you play a game at a "high level", all you've really completed is the memorization of the maze. I know we're all out for a bit of cheese, but you have it here with your broad scathing generalizations of everything being the same as everything. Writing material that must be performed versus performing material that was designed and developed to be played exactly as you've demonstrated aren't comprable. Being an entertainer at the same time, with astounding narrative atop the footage that the million dollars made, tested, and promoted might put you into the same category. But there is nothing elitist about segregating screen record footage (fancy a** video piracy) from filmmakers (capturing any performing artist on tape) What you have isn't talent, it's practice. There is no such thing as talent in video games, there is practice and execution of design. The talent is on the production side, where all of these potential tasks are thought out for you to discover, but the discovery isn't a talent, it's an investment of time and a reward of pattern recognition and motor reflexes.[DOUBLEPOST=1343284840][/DOUBLEPOST]Thats an ignorent and elitist way of looking at things imo.
Everything is the same as eveything if you think like that. All vlogs are the same (they all talk about themselfs like they are important) all gameplay vids are the same (they all play games and talk) all comady sketchs are the same (they all try to make you laugh) all cover songs are the same (they all sing someone elses song) all singers atre the same (They just play an instrument and sing a songthey worte), you have a very elitist view imo.
what I do requires just as much talent as what you do mate, its just a different genre. I dont just play a game... I play a game at a very high level and also do turotials and tips to help other people get better too.
I have people all the time messageing me thanking me because I have helped them get better. Just because you dont care for games alot of the population does. People dont just play for fun they play to better themselfs to learn a new skill. Just because its digital and not physical doesnt make them lower then you lol
My review was honest, but it was from an elitist, ignorent mouth, I reviewed the reviewer
Opinions are offered without request. Example: Street Fighter can be played as well by the monkey of the day as it can by a trained expert. Watching your videos as a filmmaker feels very much the same as the sensation you experience when you lose two rounds to a button masher. I can hear your protests at how that never happens, it happens as often as Let's Play videos are watchable. That's my opinion, you didn't ask for it. I'm being an elitist. Symph was doing what you requested of him, against his threads guidelines at that, a favor. So chin up controller chimp, you can make something other people can watch if you try.
