DownAndB.com Review - Kirby's Return to Dreamland

Really looking for some feedback on this. This is my first ever review, and quite possibly the first video I've ever made that involved any sort of advanced editing techniques.

On the technical side of things, your review wonderful. Audio and video were both crystal clear. On the actual content, you did pretty damn well for your first review. I do have two minor criticisms though. You start of with a kind of silly pun, which is fine, but then you don't really make any jokes throughout the rest of the vid. It feels kind of out of place as the lone joke in the otherwise serious review. Also you never mentioned how the Co-op worked or if it was fun. Still, awesome job.

@rizzlecorn Thanks!

Yeah, I'm still trying to work on a centralized tone for my reviews. I didn't wanna try too hard to be funny, nor did I wanna be super serious reviewer man.

In terms of not mentioning co-op, this was actually meant as a compliment to my written review on my website. I mention in there that I had no one to play the co-op with, but had some fun experiences with it at PAX. Not sure why I didn't bother mentioning that in here, haha.

You say the game makes you happy, you suggest I buy it, and you give it an "A," but WHY? There was a lot of summary, as there should be, but not a lot was said about why the game is good.

From 3:34 - 3:44 you gloss over some very important info: The pace of the game, the level design, and the length of the game. This is a spot where with a little elaboration about how those things are good, you could have explained why Kirby's Return to Dream Land is a good game. Don't miss those opportunities.

@321cheeseman Well I feel like I covered that in other parts of the review, like how the powers work, the appeal of the unlockables, and in my wrap-up near the end. But still, this really helps, and I'll keep it in mind!

de-interlace your game video

@CurtDogg But if a game is without flaw and an ideal game, then there can't possible be a better one which means that "perfect game" implies "best game ever".

[CurtDogg]

@Nixitur "Definition of PERFECT

a : being entirely without fault or defect : flawless

b : satisfying all requirements : accurate

c : corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept

d : faithfully reproducing the original; specifically : letter-perfect"

Return to Dreamland fits all of this criteria, in my opinion.

[Nixitur]

@CurtDogg Actually, "perfect video game" is even STRONGER than "the best game ever". The best game ever can have some flaws, but still be better than the competition. The PERFECT video game has no flaws whatsoever and is regarded as the best game ever by absolutely every person. Which most definitely does not apply to Return To Dreamland.

[CurtDogg]

@Nixitur This is beeupyou, btw.

[CurtDogg]

@Nixitur Just because I call something perfect doesn't automatically mean everything else is shit in comparison. I call it "the perfect video game" and not "the best game ever" because there's honestly nothing wrong with it. I'm not gonna hunt for/make up flaws that don't exist.

[Yoshinator]

Pretty good one. Down And B is a reference to that Pokeball trick right?

[Nixitur]

Never say that a game is perfect. It undermines all your credibility because a game is NEVER perfect. It also makes it impossible to say that a game is better than this game. If this game is perfect, then there will NEVER, EVER in the entire future of gaming be any game that is better than this game. Which is an incredibly silly opinion.
