    I had it on in the background while I was sick as hell last week. There is no reason at all for it to be seven hours. He explains what each game is and that's pretty much it, not much for development history or anything. I thought it was a bunch of individual reviews compiled into one video

    Edit: I was watching the Plinkett Picard review and he says the total run time of season 1 of Star Trek Picard is also 7 hours and 28 minutes.

      Well, thats my favourite type of content, I love videos that drags on. But Noah is special case, he could narrate anything and I would absolutely listen to him wholeheartedly. He is really great writer.

        I would say that publishing a 7 hour long video in a single part would disqualify someone from being a good writer.

          I haven't played resident evil so I haven't watched it, but going by his other videos, there's typically a section for each game in a series.

          With 8 RE games, that's less than an hour to discuss the design and experience of each.

          It's not like Mauler talking about one Star Wars movie for 11 hours.

          Noah's whole operation is very humble. He edits a whole video on a series instead of releasing videos in parts for whatever reason makes sense to him. I guess he views it as an overall piece and let's viewers jump back to it wherever they need.

          But he's deliberately avoiding the extra ad revenue he could get by releasing separate videos (if he even has ads turned on).

            I think that's bad pacing honestly. Would it not make more sense to quickly summarise and then lump the games into distinct sections:

            • Classic 1-3
            • Turning point 4
            • Action crap 5-6
            • Reinvention 7-8

            This way you can avoid repeating yourself and discuss both the game individually and as part of a whole.

            Like, if I were talking about the Fallout series I'd lump 1 and 2 together because they're basically the same game with minor differences you can cover in a short amount of time.

            Idk if you're talking about the series as a whole then talking about the game individually seems like the wrong way to do it.
