Time for some rankings!
and hearing old titles getting some flak
spoiler - he don't like Thiefs
I discovered them in 2011 and loved so it's not nostalgia factor

IIRC this guy made a "history of the immersive sim" video where he said that Warren Spector "invented the immersive sim" when he "created Ultima Underworld". From your description (since I'm sure as shit not gonna watch it) his rankings seem to maintain that same level of quality.

He made this video, I think it shows his preferences in games:

-Likes fallout 3
-Confuses publisher and developer for the original fallout's
-Likes fallout 4

This is the type of person even skyrim fanboys are ashamed of.

I seriously cannot stand pretentious faggots that start their shit with "I know you are gonna CUMMENT buuuuuuut..." . Its just a shitty deflection tactic to make people pre-suppose that any rebuttal of that video is just some mad fanboy that cannot deal with "dem faxts". If you want to make a point make without like you mean it instead of wrapping it in 10 layers of weasel verbiage.

Besides his entire point is pants on head retarded. His entire argument hinges on the idea that FO3 succeed not because of excessive marketing and the influx of xbox kiddies but because it was a genuinely innovative and great game that re-ignited interest in the soiled Fallout franchise. It was so great in fact that the guy has to waste over half of his video naming all the ways and systems that Obsidian had to overhaul or throw out to make an even betterer game. Its like me saying that the old bankrupt pizzeria did all the heavy lifting for all the new restaurants by proving that mayo is not a great substitute for tomato sauce and that people eat pizza. Technically its true but practically its just bullshit.

This shit makes every video like 10 minutes too long. Particularly stuff that can be said in just a few minutes.

I doubt anyone else has watched it but I once saw a PIkmin 2 review where the guy called the Fiery Bublax enemy a quote peaceul protestor bulborb. I am completely fascinated by that video because of that because it's an instance of horseshoe theory where a rightoid interupts a gaming video to get political in an obnoxious way. He used a cartoon avatar and it was fairly well edited. If anyone has also seen that video please tell me who made it and if it's still linkable somewhere. I can't find it

This is neither a good video nor a good channel. He's already fucking wrong in the first 60 seconds, saying the game sold below expectations. That must be why Interplay immediately greenlit a sequel and it came out a year later.

Full Install seems to be a small channel doing retro reviews and LPs of PC and some console games. Don't know why he's so small with so many vids but glad he got suggested somehow. Hopefully hasn't stopped uploading yet seeing how his last vid was 6 months ago.


EDIT:

Video is entertaining but he
put a The Bing Bang Theory clip in it; not that it means something could be wrong, but just saying.

I remember finding this mod and saying something along the "why there's almost no mod to old Fallouts and yet the only big one is this filth?"

edit

30 button "opener" combo
why do modern mmos insist on splitting up one 'dps' button into some ridiculous bloated combo which is to be memorized and repeated without variation in every encounter for the whole game? stupid design

story story story
show me one video game with a good "story" and I'll show you an uncultured, ignorant fool

aesthetically incoherent rectangles and circles used to visualize enemy attacks
Good to know devs got A+ in their "How to ruin immersion 101" courses

I don't know if that's the same guy who made a lot of Deus Ex related videos but looks like he's back after someone hacked his account.
His new video put some light on DE IW for people wondering why people shit on it.
spoiler - it's full of fucks
It's got almost Bethesda's Fallout treatment except it was made by the same folks

Uh, he's trying really hard to be funny but he doesn't manage it. And he seems to be under the impression that
everyone involved with the Illuminati knows that they're all part of the Illuminati, which is clearly not the case aside from the people at the very top. You even have a conversation with Lin-May Chen (in the video he seems to assume that she knows what is going on) in the later bits of the game where she clearly doesn't know about that and you have the option to tell her. The game also has this other side story about the coffee shop wars that end up being owned by the same parent company but none of the workers really know about it and instead they keep a "competitive" profile to establish their brands and followers.

I didn't watch the full video, only about half of it since it was clear that he hadn't really paid as much attention to the plot as he thought he did and it was hard to watch. I don't know if he goes "gotcha! The game really wanted you to think all of that, buuuut...." later. If that is the case he needs to work in his presentation as much as the game needed to work in its own.
