There was another video post to this community last night at around the same time (although was later deleted) saying "Why aren't games fun anymore?"

This entire thing feels shallow as hell and just one angry dude who's pissed about things not being like they used to be so he's whining about it to other people who are angry.

There is literally nothing objective about this. It's all using heavy skewed data to try and prove its point. He has absolutely no clue what he's talking about. He's just angry and saying things that he thinks are intelligent to try and back up his point.

Only thing I've discovered from this post is another "analyzer" to avoid at all possible costs.

This type of nostalgia porn is pretty popular on Youtube, but usually they at least make some valid point. Not in this case though.

It's also funny how Skyrim is presented as one of the 'cool' games, glossing over the fact that it has a massive, slow exposition dump at the beginning, which was criticized ever since it launched.
