I think there's a lot of politics that are hard to understand in retrospect. Sonic didn't even pop up until halfway through the Genesis's life, and it was relatively more successful outside of Japan than domestically.

It's okay to learn about things from YouTubers or television shows or podcasts or TikTok or whatever else.

The problem comes in when it's obvious that you're just following whatever they said about it without actually experiencing it for yourself first. Even then, simple things like "this game is bad" isn't something worth accusing someone of blindingly following someone for, they need to make the same points (e.g. if someone was talking about Castlevania 2 and they complained about 'empty castles' and 'it taking a long time to turn from day to night' and 'you gotta crouch down with a stone to make a tornado' that would make it pretty clear they only watched the AVGN video and nothing else)

And let's be honest, a lot of people use YouTube. I'm 27 and I've had it as my primary source of entertainment for the last 12 years. You're not going to be able to stop people from watching YouTube videos and being influenced by them to take an interest in things you like.

>> No.8259082

>>8257324
It's shit like this that's why discussion always devolves here. It's more often that you see people accusing others of having their opinions motivated by zoomers, Youtubers, or streamers than you actually have people here who come in saying something while not thinking for themselves. And when this is the case, they're usually just making a thread with a mindless starter. (i.e. [insert game] "what went wrong?")

>> No.8259124

>>8258484

I don't know. I like what they were going for, with the fisheye lens. Something Mario Galaxy would use later. But I look at those stages, and they seem really constrictive, and Sonic is awkwardly platforming. It looks rough.

I hate that AVGN is considered informational/educational by so many people. He's parroted things that are demonstrably false, like the whole "iD software gave Wisdom Tree the source code for Wolfenstein 3D because they were mad at Nintendo" thing, completely false but because he said it people continue to perpetuate the lie. AVGN should be about watching this out of touch and jaded alcoholic old man get mad at shitty games while he attempts and fails to recapture a bit of the happiness he felt when he was a child playing Nintendo. Trying to use his videos to educate is a disservice to both his art and his audience.

That's what I mean, he didn't adopt that "story time" shit until later on. Look at his earlier reviews like Karate Kid, TMNT, or McKids. He doesn't try to tell you about the history or development of the game. Even in later reviews, the best ones are episodes where he provides context for something usually rooted in his personal history (I was obsessed with Dick Tracy and dressed up like him for Halloween, I had to go all over town to find Godzilla movies on VHS tapes, etc) without trying to provide some sort of video game history lecture. His videos could be so much better if he focused on the humor that comes from the character, trying to educate is not his job.

The one major thing I got from preview videos from when Xtreme was in development is that everyone covering the game was more impressed with the fucking boss engine than the main game.

Legitimate answer: It's all Gen X'ers. They were all around for the super early days of the internet, while also just being old enough for boomers to pass on their values. They still carry around with them some bias and preconceived notions borne from those times. Such as:
>Any software or service should be completely free
>Entertainment should be free
>Direct downloads are preferable

Those are the good ones, to be fair. Stuff with "good production" may as well just be TV, and often is owned by some kind of soulless production company.

If only such a thing was true. We are living in times where AVGN needs scripts written by a production company to give his opinion on low budget movies he throughout his whole career said are his passion. E-celebs are below TV celebrities, they are trash, human garbage with no dignity. /tv/ laughs at stars doing TV commercials to sustain themselves but the things e-celebs been doing for the past decade are only worthy of only contempt.

>> No.8266536

>>8266510
The problem is that an "e-celeb" is kind of a hard thing to pin down. Are we talking about legitimate superstars like Pewdiepie, or just people who make videos on the internet, and have a modest at best audience? My favourite channels in recent years are probably Kenny Lauderdale, Nerrel, and Don Jolly, but I don't really consider those e-celebs, I consider them people on the internet. Forum posters with video editing software, really.

>> No.8266547

>>8266536
You'd be surprised how even the smallest of channels with the most modest subscriber counts is written or directed by a production company. The difference between TV and e-celebs is that on TV the production company is always credited while on the internet it's hidden and obscured to create the illusion of a independent user.

>> No.8266567

At some point, you are going to have to face the realization that "eCelebs" are just "Celebs" now.

Also, TV is dying and people on the internet legitimately have higher celebrity status then they do.

>> No.8266575

>>8266547
I'd say that probably depends on what your idea of a small channel is. If it's OneyPlays, then yeah, no, someone's running that. I'd be seriously surprised if the people I listed are back by production companies though, largely because they hardly update, and talk about niche, or often legally grey subjects.

I genuinely just think Youtube are striking out against good content, because they want to filter everyone into watching their "premium" channels at this point.

Well, unfortunately, none of us have a finished product to figure out whether or not it was worth the development time. I'd be more accepting of this if we did have a finished product. Since we just have a prototype, it's going to suck.
>why didnt they just cancel it after sm64 was first revealed
It was an era of 3D experimentation, and SM64's very own presentation was... Well, it wasn't good when it was first revealed. Space World Super Mario 64 is often described as having loose, unresponsive controls, and really weird slowdowns.
>they must have known for a fact they couldnt compete
Then there was the chance for Sega to get something good out of this that could actually compete with SM64 anyways. Not only was SM64's first reveal kind of bad, but they were on the path to complete a decent enough game. Had it not been for infighting, we could've had many things, including a completed Xtreme. We also have a version of Xtreme that lacks the fisheye lens, but I prefer the lens because it's a unique look. I'd probably feel differently if I got to play the game though.
>all of the dev time after that point was a total waste of time and money
I beg to differ, because this was the era of experimentation. If they didn't do this, then they wouldn't know if it would not work, or more interestingly, potentially even work. Given the most complete build I've seen, I'm actually quite a fan of this idea, and would love to have seen it completed.

Ahem, not really. It actually kept itself intact for a good 8 years before it finally started to die. Cosmic Panda was when it began to feel obvious in hindsight, but even then it felt fine and they weren't trying to "actively" hide anyone except the occasional person like AVGN(and even then it was nothing like suppression, it was just putting someone in the front page more consistently then him. AVGN still appeared in the recommended just fine.)
Even when they removed the majority of channel customization, it felt OKAY, but obviously there was something going wrong. Shortly after they removed channel customization is when everything truly went down hill.
I want to point out I don't mean "corporatized" as in "oh it's got a monopoly feel to it", I'm talking about THAT feel. The feeling of a company that doesn't practice capitalism, but rather corporatism. The one where everything is done by a corporate playbook. The one that any company that gets increasingly political for their own gains has. The one that sneers at creativity, and bores you to death. That feeling.

>> No.8270081

>>8270018
Maybe we shouldn't get too deeply into this here, but I think it's pretty clear that some of the budding political sub-cultures that were taking form on the site had them scared, and then they opted to completely bind their users hands and feet. This even leads to things like small gaming channels getting shit on, just because when there's that kind of decentralisation of entertainment, there's a liability. Something that starts as a small community of Alex Kidd enthusiasts could become something else altogether, once people get talking without the right kinds of moderators being there to steer the conversation in a safe direction.

There are too many definitions of corporatism. I've taken up the definition of a company that refuses to look past the corporate playbook, viewing it as the defacto guidelines.

I would call technical issues like the ones experienced at Spaceworld a bit of a bad reveal. Not a terrible one, just... definitely not a fantastic one.

When the people I talked to who were there(mostly some distant Japanese family members) all described as a bad reveal, kind of is one. They all gave benefit of the doubt though since clearly it was an early build and things should've improved, and they were rewarded with a decent game.

Why are you so aggressive over a word that isn't even used that often. I could see something like the appropriation of an acronym of nwmi being bad, but... corporatism no matter the fucking context is still terrible, so what's so bad about my definition? Besides, if you don't want me using it anymore, I'm giving you a chance to stop me from doing so. You don't have to pick a fight over it.
