Should this go in Debates?
Where as I Don't Know was about venting sadness and depression, this is for resolving the tension that stems from hatred for two things:
WTF is and Dark Souls
"This is a first impressions critique, and should be treated as such." Hypocrisy. Totalbiscuit bases recommendations and critique on games he neverfinishes. You shouldn't formulate an opinion on a game you haven't beaten. "He doesn't have time to make reviews." Then he needs to make time. If he would stop putting out several videos a week, he'd be able to get some time to get through a game from start to finish. But he can't, because YouTube is his job. He needs ad revenue to stay afloat.
But I still wouldn't give him approval for switching to reviews. Not because I don't share his views on games, but because reviews are actually useless.
Reviews shouldn't be constructive criticism. If there was any such thing as a "good" or "right" opinion, then people would all think the same. The problem is that people think it's all right to say, "My opinion is right. The game would be objectively better if it___" In truth you cannot objectify any form of Media. People have different ideas of what is and isn't enjoyable. Reviews you should be extensive looks at everything a game has to offer. It would be significantly more valuable to the consumer if they were done in such a manner as to provide information, so the consumers can determine whether or not it's something they would like. As it stands, reviewers are doing a poor job at actually reviewing.
Let's not get meta about this, okay? I've got to call it a night. I'll try to finish this tomorrow.
