 G'day. I didn't know if I was going to talk about this or not because it happened back in January There was a little bit of drama You've had plenty of time in advance to know about the exact product you're purchasing and then turn around and spend hours on a review just My Pokemon Scarlet and Violet review and it kind of it we it was one of the weirdest things that happened Somebody and I'm not gonna say who made a whole video breaking down why I Well, they were very wrong. They were wrong about a lot of stuff But why I shouldn't make a bad review about that game And it was a really really really bad take and I had no idea that that video had even been made I didn't know it existed, but then a pretty large YouTube channel called the act man actually covered the review of my review and Defended me and not so much me as a person but more just the concept of what I was doing you know reviewing games and why it wouldn't or shouldn't I be allowed to do that and then In a form of inception where now we're gonna be reacting to somebody reacting to the reaction of something that happened about me as Mengold actually watched on stream act man's video Watching that it's it's where like four or five layers deep and there was a lot of things said about me that even these two Wonderful gentlemen who had a lot of nice things to say about the concept of reviewing things in general don't know about me or the review This is why I guess I'm not allowed to review games anymore Or why I won't be reviewing games ever again because it's a silly thing to do Isn't it really to just go online and talk about something I haven't made either positively or badly, you know I mean, I can't I can't imagine anybody making a career off of that or that being useful to people at all online You know reviewing products To tell people if they're worth buying or not and now I'm in my kitchen Which for you guys means one of two things option A I'm about to give away three Nintendo switches on the channel option B.

Let's let's dive on in and watch if you don't know who these two people are so This is as my god down here And then this is I believe the AC man. I'm actually not too familiar with me. I believe that's a good guy I believe that's the good guy. There's a bad guy somewhere in here And I think that's the good guy Pokemon Scarlet and Violet criticism makes money There are still a large number of people that are on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the Nintendo switch in general. Yeah, I immediately I Immediately need a pause because whoever's making this video I don't think they know who I am at all the way they said Crapping on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the switch in general. Hey, not me my guy There are joy cons in my logo. I love the Nintendo switch I didn't make my review of this game just to crap on how bad it looks because the switch is underpowered I even had a whole segment in the video that you clearly didn't watch or get to or care to research Before you made your crummy video talking about how it's not the switch is full I compared several games like Xenoblade and Monster Hunter Rise as shining examples of Fantastic games that look incredible on the console and this is purely a game freak problem And it is a problem and then what there was so much to be said I made like a half hour video because there was so much to be said about this game Looking though and playing the way it does when we have so many other great games on a console that can handle better Okay, okay. Yeah, I know believe it or not pretty crazy that they're milking the hell out of also Archer Wonderful human being. I mean archer gamer is she's why drag of all the people. There's so many Large switch channels that you could take a shot at and here we have someone out there doing their best doing it Doing they're not doing anything bad. Why why pull that channel of all channels like, you know what I'm trying to say Somebody's a little jealous. Somebody's a little envious of of success. I think is the issue here Nintendo but hey contents content contents content. Yeah, it's it's YouTube man something bad. Hey, look that thing's bad Here's my video on it something's awesome. Hey, that thing's awesome. Here's my video on it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we make videos Exactly, I mean, I don't I mean I feel like that says it all that's just what we're doing here We're just making videos. I'm just making videos about things that I like or don't like And I want to also say that I didn't just make a video saying this game is bad and rant about it for 10 minutes Not that there's anything wrong with that content, but I I Edit that thing to crap. I filmed it in a way that I thought was unique and entertaining. I had skits I had a song at the end of the video like I'm trying to create content some fun entertaining content Around the concepts of well this game actually kind of sucks and doing something special with it Whoever it is reacting to my video saying that my video is bad. You realize you're doing the same thing, right? You are reviewing my review You're doing exactly the same thing and I want to ask you where was your song at the end of the video These social media influencers these youtubers are they they have no merit. They have no ground no merit No ground I showed the gameplay of Scarlett and Violet. I think it speaks for itself Okay, so now Ackman is here defending himself because I assume he's also made a video on this game and how bad it is But his point stands for me too, you know All I was doing is showing the game for what it was and talking about it I don't need merit to do that one You know the game itself has all the merit it needs to show itself being bad But as far as merit merit merit who has merit then who who in terms of video game reviews Who has merit over anybody on out and played Pokemon Scarlett and Violet after knowing it was a massive glitzy mess knowingly paid $60 for this game and then turned around and spent hours on a review Justice they weren't sent a pre copy. They weren't sent a copy ahead of time Did people that give pre copies don't on games like that? Oh my god They did make that guy right there that Ackman guy You It did make a lot of good points. I I don't understand this logic at all I don't understand this logic at all So the person making this video is trying to say you can only talk negatively about a game and Crap on it if you got it for free if you got it for a review copy You only have the right to talk badly about it if it was given to you But if you paid for it if you actually spent money on it and you have the full Experience that everybody else is going to have of going to GameStop and spending money on it and buying in to experience it That's when you can't talk bad about it because you knew you knew when you bought it that it was going to be bad And you paid for it so you can't have a bad thing to say I would argue that when you get something for free it tastes a little sweeter You know what I mean what so you're upset that people are making bad reviews of a game like a month or two after it came out Well, I love how people gate keep being able to do a review of a game Yeah, also I love that doing a video on the game a month or two later somehow devalues its merit again Right like it's been a month or two. We all know it's bad. You can't make the video now No, the reason why my video took a month to come out is because I played the game for like 90 hours Before I even started writing my review and again if you watch it there was a music song There was a I made a song that took a week in itself to make the song to make the video more entertaining to give it more value and make it more fun and make light of a kind of crappy situation as if somebody that plays the game and a lot of people This guy gives a review and everybody else is like, yeah And this is somehow like not relevant or not reasonable like what do you mean? Genius not everybody out of video in one day. Okay, sometimes it takes time. Maybe I don't want to I just said that Individuals who will literally go out by the game just to make content on it because it's trendy why You're showing me while you say that People will go out and buy the game just to make content on it Again, look at my channel my guy not to brag. I feel like defending myself leads to what is Bragg adjacent, but I I'm the largest Nintendo switch channel I'm going to review the new Pokemon games, you know, also, I like how you're saying that I'm doing it Just for clicks while showing my video Showcasing some of the worst parts the game has to offer How are you defending the game at this point of all points? I would stop using my video for your for your evidence while you're prattlin on because it's not doing you any favors I will just go grab your own gameplay of the game in places that maybe look a little nicer What do you gain by spending $60 on a game a month later after the game is released? Will you gain views you gain? Okay? I I bought the game on launch. I didn't buy it a month Later just takes a while to make a review like I made, you know Have you ever tried to make a song? I keep going back to that you tried. It's not easy Content why would you make a video a review? Why would you give a company $60 of your hard-earned money? Why would you spend 250 to 300 is this guy? Yes, whatever you're about to say as many as he is he is that whatever you're about to say He is that for is he just now learning about how reviews work? Yes Why would you make a video a review? Why would you give a company $60 of your hard-earned money? Why would I spend $60 on a game give Pokemon company my hard-earned money and then turn around and review it badly? Here's why I needed the game to play it $60 of your hard-earned money also it is hard-earned money, but I It's also my job, so I claim it on taxes. It's not a big deal You know You know one it's extremely underpowered. Why would I spend money on a game console? Because it's it's worth the games are because I bought it five years ago You've had both the good points actually both made very good points that yeah Because I bought it five years ago because it's where the games are I didn't go out and buy a switch When Pokemon scarlet and violet launched and then when the switch kind of sucks the switch is awesome The switch can do a lot better than scarlet and violet Because I bought it five years ago You've had plenty of time in advance to know about the exact product you're purchasing you still this guy weirdly is not only Attacking a video game review as a concept, you know reviewing video games badly At all as a concept. I guess he only wants good reviews He only ever wants to see good reviews for any video game and doesn't understand why on God's green earth Anyone would make a bad video game, but he's also defending this game by saying yeah, the switch is underpowered What did you expect this game's actually sick and awesome considering how underpowered the switch is? No, this is actually great. There's nothing wrong with this game this games Because what do you expect on the switch? Again not doing any research to find out or discover for themselves that this isn't what the switch is capable of and it Can do so much more Ironically if they had watched my review that they're complaining. I shouldn't have made they would have learned all of this See how that's ironic You see how you actually kind of needed my video, but you're you're laughing about why I even made it When you were probably my target demographic do it all you do all of it and then turn around and spend hours on a review Why did I why did I spend money on a game to review it because I'm not gonna steal it? Well folks, it's been an interesting year hasn't it? So I'm not trying to be facetious when I say I didn't know who ackman was before this But they seem awesome and as when gold had some really good takes here to just reacting to the you know The same thing that we're reacting to here There's horrible take by somebody who I don't even I don't even know who it is But I thought it was interesting that my my video ended up causing such discourse to the point where it had to Large creators having to react to somebody's bad take. I don't know why people can't separate You know the things they love or nostalgia from their own personal bias and and why why they feel so I don't know what the word is so insecure I guess about the fact that a thing they love maybe isn't the best. Alright, that's it I just wanted to take a look at this I thought it was interesting and I thought you guys would get a kick out of it Honestly it I forgot about it and until recently it's not something that's affecting me and I'm definitely not gonna stop reviewing games. I'm not gonna stop roof. That's That's silly. In fact, I'm working on another e-shot video right now with 10 more games in it So I have like 10 more reviews down the pipeline. Don't worry I love what I do here on on this platform And I I have always tried so hard to remain unbiased in every single one of my reviews and have and make them fun and entertaining. Alright guys, I hope you enjoyed whatever this was and I have a bunch of cool videos coming really soon I love you all and I will see you Soon. Goodbye
