Video review and rant I made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlIccmVuB0Q
I wanna see how it feels to be troll slayed. I'm the ranter, and the cool dude in the review.

I assume you want me to give you critique? Alright then, but don't take offense to anything I say here. Please don't; I might sound angry (which I'm not) and mean (which I hope I'm not being), but this is all just my honest opinion.

Now, I'll just do what I do on the site. Don't worry, this will stay on the forums.

Ahem...


Immediately at the beginning, this video punishes you for watching it. Ignoring the fact that it's an intro that takes twenty seconds to stop, there are two things I don't like about it: One, the message just before the video starts- Megaman 6 Review and Rant!!!!!!!

If you see the message typed out, it looks ridiculous. It looks unprofessional. It looks like you're not taking yourself seriously, or that this is all just a joke. Seven exclamation points? That's not a title, that's you screaming at me.

Second, and I understand that you can't always fix this, the difference in volume between the intro and the actual speaking is too high. Even at full YouTube volume, full computer volume, full speaker volume, and wearing headphones, I still can only barely hear your voice.


No, I'm not wondering where Sword is. I don't even know who that is.



*Checks watch*


Glad to hear it. I was told there was a rant?


I've heard a lot about this recently.

Why is this rant combined with a video review?

...That paper looks familiar...

Oh, here it is! This is the paper you're holding up, isn't it? I don't see a link to it in the description.

To be honest, you pointing out a company's mistakes doesn't make me any more eager for a review of said company's game. Unless you mean the game is terrible, in which case I am only slightly curious. But that's just me.

Alright, follow-through, follow-through, follow-through...


...Is...is that all you have to say on the matter? "Whatever"? So I take it that you don't see much of a problem, then?

I don't know how hard it is. And, in all likelihood, neither do you.


It's very interesting that you say that. Is it me, or did you read that word-for-word off of that image, which, may I remind you, is not your work? And by extension, apparently not your rant.


Because...demos don't usually contain actual game content?


Let me take a guess- you have a problem with it being developed by Ninja Theory.

What? No, no it isn't. You didn't even say anything. Literally- you didn't say anything about it. Is this a rant, or a treasure hunt for the image you're plagiarizing from to find actual information?

==CONTINUED TO NEXT POST: PLEASE DO NOT POST YET==

You said "no plans to localize"!

Heh...

Sorry.

Stop. Stop it right there. Do not say another word. Let me take just about ten seconds to do some research for you, and let's see what we find. This is taken from Wikipedia:

This took me less that ten seconds to find. What I think (and might have just proven) is that you took that image, decided to read from it, and are adding little comments here and there without doing any research first.

Which is closer to trolling than anything you've read off so far.


And you are throwing away your own credibility.

The succinct effect of saying things like ...why? is pretty much lost when you've done it four times in the last two-and-a-half-minutes.


That's actually a really good point.


This is just a nitpick, but you said "millions" before, so saying "million" now seems counterproductive. It's not an actual issue, just...never mind. Let's continue.

Yes, I know. You just said that.


You mean without any reason given. They wouldn't just cancel it for the heck of it.

Saying "whatever" doesn't make me confident that you feel very strongly about this.


I'm still not even sure what that means. Can you upgrade from one game to another?

Well, how long after the first one was the arcade one released? I can easily find this, but I'm not the one doing the Capcom rant. You are.


As I said, it's to the point where saying ...why? makes you sound less witty and more like you haven't rehearsed this at all. Which is fairly obvious anyway.


It would be better for you to never say that again.

*Spits out coffee*

Wait, what? Seriously? Do they have any justification for that?

*Slaps forehead*


I sincerely hope you have more to say than this. That was also my reaction, but you can't just leave it at that.


Your apparent anger would seem less out of place if you didn't wear the same expression throughout the entire video.


I hope, for the sake of your rant, that you overcome that loss, and quickly.

I guess not.


My attention is currently drawn more to your outburst and less to Capcom's idiotic marketing.


Confusion, is I that have it, as because understand I cannot what you say.


It doesn't sound like you're looking at the situation in its entirety; maybe a bad employee leaked it before it was greenlit without the company's consent. Maybe they mentioned it, but people took it wrong and assumed they confirmed it. There area host of possibilities here.

And if it was obviously confirmed, I wouldn't know because you haven't told me. You've just assumed I know.

==CONTINUED TO NEXT POST: PLEASE DO NOT POST YET==

They wanna get MegaMan off the moon!

...What?

...Oh, is that something that happened in one of the games? Strange.

[Long pause] WHY would you let your fans down THAT BADLY?!

Hey man, Capcom can't please everybody. Calm down.


It was the fans' what?


Urgh.

This entire paragraph conveys almost no meaning whatsoever. "The fans should not have an impact on their thing"? Do you expect me, or anybody, to understand what that means?

See, it repetitions like that that feel natural. You're putting great emphasis on the fact that it was their job, not yours. You repeating it sounds natural and stands out from the relative lackluster presentation you've had.


Why would there be? Aren't they two different series?

You've said a lot. Although not all of it has meaning, how am I supposed to pinpoint what to refer to?


One thing that's not on the list you're plagiarizing from, you mean?

That's...that's not a thing, is it? That doesn't exist, right? Please?

That statement was oddly entertaining.

Then why did you bring it up?


No. You have no way of knowing what is going through my head. I am not presenting this rant, you are. So if you admittedly have nothing to say about a subject, please don't bring it up.

==CONCLUSION==

Alright, it was a nice try, but ultimately it was lacking in a few key areas-

-It sounded unrehearsed
-You spoke so much yet said so little
-You assumed that the viewer had the same knowledge that you have
-You plagiarized

That last one matters the most- just showing the image for a few seconds in your intro is not enough. You have to say that it isn't your list. You did not. You didn't even give a link to it int he description. Because of this, the video did not contain your rant. It contained somebody else's rant with you giving side comments.

Aside from that, the presentation needs serious work and revision. When you have to pause, stutter, and glance at the list as often as you did, it feels like you didn't put much effort into the video.

Please remember, I'm not out to get you, or make you look stupid, or make you feel bad. I'm diving my opinion, which you requested. You may or may not be discouraged after reading this, but don't be- if you stop making videos, how will they get better?

I'd also like to thank you for requesting my opinion.

==YOU MAY POST==

Alright, first off. It's funny, because we actually meant to put the picture in the description, but I guess we forgot, so that you for reminding me on that note. It made the review of the rant much funnier. Secondly, thank you for taking the time to write your opinion, truth be told I should have rehearsed more then I did. And finally, the beginning and the wishywashiness was for comedic effect.

Oh, and I said "Like Super Street Fighter 4"

No problem. Thank you so much for taking the time to read it!
