Yong Yeas take on Elite Dangerous Odyssey (Not Good)

Well more the suits. These transformers like chaotic armor types. For people who want to pretend they're robots. Biomutant is funny because its the only release game retailers have had to go on for months. It never even tried to indicate it was going to be good. Poor retailers.
I have to admit, I bought the space poncho because it makes me look like the general from Z :D

The other suit makes you look like you just escaped Fortuna

Or if I really want to reach, I get a chicken and cosplay Cade.
 
Yes, so what's wrong?
He's spreading the feedback information to his viewers.
Perfectly licit in my opinion.
Perfectly fine, I thought it was someone's take on things as the thread implied, but it just a guy reading a news paper after election day...

I mean I read the first replies and thought this guy was something special and watched it. Now I want my 17 minutes back.

No he's simply a guy with 1 million viewers from the gamers community so he has the power to negatively affect the Odyssey sales.
I guess OP point is that if the Odyssey flop reached this guy means that the fail is big because he generally talks about big games and big corporates and not niche games.
 
maybe unpopular opinion: i think YY just always jumps on a train, when there is something trending. havent seen yet, he pointed out something first. there is some controversy growing, so he makes a video about it. i dont say its necessarily bad (hey, he covers topics for people who are his fans and dont watch other channels much), but hes not original creator to me.

edit: but i see im late to that topic, already said here :) guess i should read all posts before posting something
 
It's not necessarily about needing someone to tell them what to think. Only very charasmatic people can influence opinions in the way you're suggesting, and YongYea is not what I would call charasmatic. For me, I like to hear what other people's opinions are. It makes you think. It informs you on the way others feel about something. And it helps you to prepare a retort if you disagree.

Even when I vehemently disagree with someone on a more controversial subject, even politics, I will often listen to their point-of-view. If I cover my ears and scream, or only hear what I want to hear, I miss the opportunity to find out I may be wrong about something.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. This is not a personal dig at anyone who doesn't want to watch influencers btw. I'm just trying to explain why I watch some of them. There are those YouTubers I avoid like the plague as well, such as The Quartering, who does nothing but push fear/hate propaganda about extremist boogeymen. YongYea is as tame as a kitten compared to the filth at the bottom of the barrel.
I totally agree - other peoples opinions are very important, and we can / should learn from them - Free speech should definitely never be stifled. - I'm just very skeptical of people who are being paid for expressing their opinion(s).
At the minute - a lot of these opinions just come across as Mob Rules / jumping on the bandwagon - as indeed does a lot of Social Media. The first smell of blood, and suddenly people who have never shown an interest before are posting vitriolic messages. Schadenfreude / trial by media is the new norm, it would appear.

To quote god knows who it was, social media is 'Giving a voice to the vacuous' (says me expressing an opinion on a forum :) )

Anyway back to work, and then back to playing the game.

EDIT: If I hear the phrase 'Occlusion Culling' one more time, I may well explode. People quoting this / somebody else's thread or wikipedia does not mean you are an expert in it, or understand it.

It's a shame TotalBiscuit is no longer with us, he'd be bigger than PewDiePie by now if he was, and yeah I am sure he'd be ripping Frontier to shreds, but he'd also not over-exaggerate the issues and wouldn't make a clickbait video.

It'd probably be titled something like "I shall now comment for 45 minutes on the state of Elite Dangerous Odyssey" (yes, that is how he titled some of his videos)

Here's what he said about Elite Dangerous ....

That's hardly a valid reasoning.

On one hand we're handing out station names and plants to 'influencers' who say good things. But if someone says something bad, aka the truth, their opinion is invalid or they're a nobody...
I don't pay attention to any "influencers".

For the same reason. I'm here to play a game, not feed someone's ad revenue.
 
But really, all this tells me that it became popular enough to whine about Odyssey for clickbaiters to cover it, hoping for more viewers on their channels and thus making more money. That's really all that news has become in the social media age. If people would focus more on practical solutions, their opinoins would actually be worthwhile. The circle of whining and appeasing tires me. All the political landscape is made out of it. It's all about the feelgood and nothing about the matter at hand.
Could the same not be said of Tubers who posts videos on how to get rich quick? Or How to use the latest exploit? Are they not too, using clickbait to gain subs or views?
 
When only 10-20% of them watchs your video, it's just a click bate tuber, riding numbers on big bad stories that happening in game world. He even covered Leviathans Fall Expansion from Paradox's Europe Universalis 4. And by covered i mean he was just reading news articels and negative reviews.
Push dislike, Block Channel, and move on. Youtube is filled with garbage content like that.

If you don't like a video, don't push dislike. Pressing dislike is counted as an interaction and actually helps the video. :)
 
On YouTube

Therein lies your first error.

I'm not saying he doesn't make valid points but frankly, in a world where everything is so readily accessible, I wouldn't call that well-known outside his platform.

I've genuinely never heard of the guy by virtue of not using YouTube for much beyond funny birb videos.
His platform is huge, though.
 
Just woke up and gave a quick read to this thread..

I understand loving something and trying to defend it, but this is more like pure and utter denial.

How can you refuse and minimize factual data like this?

A youtube channel whit 1 mil.+ viewers have a bad opinion of Odyssey so he must be dismissed and ridiculed?

I dont like that guy but ive watched the video, he is spot on on the complaints.

Again how can you guys dismiss and refuse factual data like this?

And i tought that ED was a niche game whit a majority of "aged" gamers (like myself), i must be wrong..
