I tend to go for more lengthy video essays, theyre great to watch while I work.

I really like Noah Gervais' videos. They're very thorough and have an enjoyable tone and some great nuance.
But they're really long though, several hours sometimes.
He made a 2-hour long video looking at Baldur's Gate, and 1-hour video about the Wolfenstein series.
He also made a great video about Postal, Hatred and "asshole simulators". Here's that one:



Also, there is a still-in-progress video series about Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, which is structured like an annotated Lets Play series. Maybe this is a bit what Derek said he was looking for, a lets play with some insight about the game? Its pretty thorough, goes into both game-specific trivia, development history and into cultural or historical inspirations of the developers. Its a complete playthrough of the game with written narration and stuff displayed to the side, as opposed to someone just improvising tidbits about the game that they remember as they play. Here is the first part of the series:



At the time I post this, the series is about halfway through the game. New videos come about once a week. Kind of a slow paced compared to Let's Play videos, but its understandable considering all the editing involved.

And finally, Hbomberguy makes lengthy videos about games sometimes, though its not his main thing. Hes got a great self-deprecating sense of humor, good comedic timing, that really help make those lengthier videos work. Those are often over one hour long too. Heres his 1h30m video about Fallout 3's failure on engaging the player as an RPG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJ1gyIzg78

noah gervais is very good, yes. I like short-form stuff too though, since it's usually a lot more compacted. noah gervais can occasionally stick to one point a bit too long.




strummerdood, very underrated guy. makes his stuff almost exclusively about narrative, but he has good takes on it.




(2 parts)
this is also a good take on the zelda war by super bunnyhop. his first video too.

fallout 4 was indeed a fanstastic fallout themed FPS (Honestly, i did like how VATS worked in 4, it was fun, but it's so far from it's roots at this point it's not even a game in the same genre). And yeah, fallout 3 was complete ass, new vegas is definitely the best 3d fallout by far (which is unsurprising as it's the only 3d fallout done by the actual developers of fallout, and not the  elder scrolls team).

That said though Fallout 2 is still the best in the series.

yeah exactly, FO4 cuts out most of the half assed "rpg" elements from 3 and just focuses on being a fun loot n shoot in a zany post apocalyptic world. i had more fun with FO4 than borderlands.

agree about FO2 and new vegas

oh endlessly agreed

fallout 3 i played 8 hours of and couldn’t finish. i’ve clocked 5 days in FO4, and it’s entirely because it’s a much better version of skyrim, but with guns
