This one was supposed to come out some time ago so with the White March expansion being released soon I decided to buckle down and finally finish this.

Any feedback is welcome of course.

I have only seen it to like 15 min mark or so? You ramble far too much. Most of your points could have been made in half of that time, and half of those points are just bugbears of little importance (spending several minutes of your video on explaining why you don't like naming conventions are several minutes of my life I'm never getting back - this works in text format as you can skim trough it, not in video.)

Actually, video format has so far been completely pointless and it would work far better as a written text.

I like that you're trying to provide a balanced view in spite of not really liking the game (I guess?) "This particular bit has been done before" argument is pointless and should have just been left out unless you've got a major point to make ;-)

I feel like you're used to work with written text and are now trying to transfer your skills into a video format, sadly, that's not quite as easy. Sadly I'm not massively experienced to give much of an advice in the field, you can look at other youtubers like Super BunnyHop for inspiration, but I can't quite point out why their videos work well and yours doesn't quite.

You need to slow down your delivery... a lot. Clearly English is not your first language, and rabbiting on at express speed just made me stop listening -- I couldn't follow it -- very early. I just didn't get to hear what you had to say, sadly.
I could never figure out a reason to watch stuff like this. If I don't like the game, there's no reason to waste more time on it. If I like the game (as in this case), then why do I want to spend the precious minutes of my life listening to somebody whine about why they don't like the game?

Depends. If you want to understand why you like something, it's essential to first understand why others dislike it. If you don't want to understand it and just enjoy it, sure, listening to negative points about it is mostly meaningless.

That bit sounds crazy to me. Why would I need help to understand why I like something? I do a pretty good job of just knowing things like that. If I say I dislike pepperoni because it is salty and spicy and oily, does that bring you an epiphany about why you like it? Don't you already know it is salty and spicy and oily? (btw, this is just an example from out of my behind - I love pepperoni).

I dunno. I think the point of playing the game is to enjoy the time you spend doing it. Watching a vid that cuts the game into pieces and points out flaws can only decrease my enjoyment. It might maybe increase my understanding, but again, I'm not playing to get understanding. I'm playing for fun.

If you don't know why, you don't need to, and thus it's meaningless for you to try ;-) I want to understand it quite simply because I enjoy discovering how things I enjoy function. For instance, I love game design, and therefore, understanding why I enjoy a game is quite essential for me - it's equally as important for me to identify why do I not enjoy things I do not enjoy.

That doesn't help me *understand why* you dislike pepperoni tho, it just tells me you dislike three other things, potentially in that combination.

You're coming from a point of view of a person who just enjoys consuming art without attempting to dissect it - which is perfectly fine, but it also means videos like the one OP made are not really aimed at you.

For fun. To practice rhetoric.To examine a hobby I like (I have positive videos too like This war of Mine).

I've noticed a theme in your posts is often "why think about things"? I wonder why you bother interjecting in others' thinking about things in order to ask that question.

When I ask a question, like I did here, it is so I can understand something better. Something that interests me. I was thinking. I was promoting others to think (including you - though you seem to be thinking about me rather than what I was interested in).
