(without having watched it) Why are these videos always top 10 upcoming games and never top 10 games that just released last month?
I'd be much more interested in stuff that's already out instead of hyping myself up for something that might come out and be terrible.
everyone already talked about the games that came out the last month? you can find endless oodles of detailed information, you can go look at the critic ratings via metacritic/opencritic, you can go look at the last months worth of social media threads about games, it's really endless
i don't think there's a lack of information there, I understand you'd like a compact packaged version (and i'm certain someone on youtube provides that if you go look) but It's really not hard to understand why people would be more interested in a video about future unknowns, over just seeing what happened last month, which you probably already know, you were there.
I understand your point. It will be good to have videos of past months or year game video. But getting to see the upcoming games video kind of gives a feeling of hope that something is coming soon. I am personally hyped for dragon dogma 2!
I wont watch a video that at least doesnt list the top whatever in the description here. Its that kind of crap i left reddit for. Its just clickbait
i mean lets be honest, you won't want the video regardless. you just want the list in the description so that you can give your opinion without watching the video.
that's okay, it's a discussion forum, but lets be honest with ourselves.
That's cool that you're looking forward to it. It's nice to have something to be excited for. I guess I've just been burned one too many times to give in to the hype again.
I'm not even really talking about this video specifically, just that these type of videos are usually hyping stuff up, getting clicks, and in the end the games are often a letdown.
