I think the actual game is the 2nd step.

Why bothering doing a serious review about a car not going over 10mph, with no seat belts, and only made of plastic. Yet sold the price of a normal car.

>making fun of cancer

You do know he used to do the same, right?

Everyone likes diffirent stuff. He is still showing gameplay. Framerate, settings, optimization, more settings, graphics, and more settings are important.

I'm not making fun of him, just so I can easily find him in my files, he has cancer, he's a boy, he's cancerboy

They don't need any because the game should be tailored to the console hardware (exclusive). Third party multiplats should have a higher framerate option that bumps the graphics down though.
>>
>>338058131
why would you talk about the story?
you can like or dislike the story but that should not influence the review positively or negatively

No, what about how it's presented, pacing, plot holes, etc. Not saying I want that in my review as I don't want spoilers, just saying

I mean that if you have shitty, choppy square wheels, you're going to have a hard time driving. Is that so hard to understand?

You're gonna have an even harder time driving with just a wheel buddy. Doesn't matter how round it is.

Or maybe I should be able to decide what I do/don't turn down in every game?

You can fit 2-3 whole in-depth reviews in that time period. Totalbiscuit just can't express himself concisely.

what about drive-through analogies: the worst of both worlds?

You wouldn't need to if it was optimized for the hardware.

>Games are tailored to run at certain settings on consoles

>>
>>338060439
I think you completely missed my point. It should be up to me what I do/don't lower for better frame rates, the hardware in consoles is largely laughable compared to a mid PC build, optimization has little to do with it.

You should be able to pick and choose what is/isn't on just like you can on PC.

Hopefully the point will travel through those malnourished neurons of yours and eventually, maybe after a day or two, you will realise that framerate alone doesn't make a game. Movies have framerate anon.

A review is the most informative thing you can possibly do to a game.

What he is doing is just saying "look this exists", and yet why would I want to go through his billions of videos to look at any of them if I can just gleam the title and check the wiki in a few seconds?

Yes gaming is fucked if people care about the quality of their video games are you an actual person why do you hold this opinion what led to this brain disease of yours
>>
>>338061852

That must be why Nintendo, a company that churns out quality gameplay by the ton, lets all of their games run at 15-20 FPS.

Oh, wait, they don't. They run at 60 fps, and have since N64 days.
>>
>>338062254
I'm guessing you only play modern games
>>
>>338062254
>Yes gaming is fucked if people care about the quality of their video games
quality doesn't come from specs and hardware you superficial faggot
it comes from game design which has nothing to do with performance
>>
>>338062341
If a good game is chugging along at a suboptimal framerate, it DIRECTLY affects the gameplay.

This shit is basic anon, what the fuck are you doing
>>
>>338062273
>They run at 60 fps, and have since N64 days.
are you a mongoloid?
it depends on the game retard
even the ps4 has games that run 60 fps and don't compare the craphical quality of a mario game with uncharted or bloodborne
>>
>>338062341
>which has nothing to do with performance

Well it does actually. More powerful hardware can allow for more mechanics in a game.

Please don't act like a retard out of a kneejerk because of some other retard. "Framerate = gameplay" is pure braindead faggotry, but you don't need to join them.
>>
Has something happened recently? I feel like there are a lot more PC v. console shitposts than there usually are.
>>
>>338062512
onlu if it runs 15-20 fps all the time
not for a split second
a splint second frame rate drop is natural , even pc has fps drops and they are way more inconsistant
you can get from 60 to fucking 20 which is vomit inducing

Stop damage controling

>>
>>338058131
>Watching game reviews

Aside from that, I agree with you. Too much time is spent on graphics and the mechanics behind them. You honestly can't spend too much time on the story because the quality is mostly subjective, you can only look into structure, continuity and character depth while the actual content of the story can only be judged on an individual level. The music is much the same. Game mechanics are the ignored aspect here, for some reason the discussion of what is actually happening while playing or the numbers that determine outcomes is widely seen as unsavory.

Reviews are all talk about the same minutia of modern graphics and an attempt to project a subjective view of the story content onto other people.

>>338058131
There's a hierarchy of issues. If anything on the bottom doesn't work then the things on the top of the pyramid aren't considered because they can't be appreciated. Starting at the bottom:

The game has depth
The story isn't garbage
The gameplay is tolerable
No game breaking bugs.
The graphics are tolerable
The game has a steady framerate
The UI is navigable
The game runs

If a problem is encountered anywhere on this hierarchy, a reviewer will focus on that issue and/or the issues +/- a tier.

Personally i find it better to just go with a reviewer or letsplayers that likes the same or similar games that i like

I dont need to hear reviews from someone who isnt big into the genre, i dont need reviews by someone who its their first game in the series unless its also my first. reviews are fucking useless most of the time
