Why do reviews from certain YouTubers get their own thread, rather than going in the review thread itself? Sorry if this is a common question, I just haven't seen it answered and it strikes me as odd.

I think Kratos might be angrier than Joe.

Love Joe's reviews, one of the best reviewers there is.

Ah, ok. Maybe people should start making threads for all late (as in after the game's release date) reviews, so we can have one central place for all of them rather than elevating one creators content above all others.

To be fair, his reviews are 30 minute long, so I think they should get their own thread. Probably the most in depth reviews out there.

Tradition and a very common question.

I don't look at it like uplifting this one person's review above others, people just like the guy (I personally don't care for his schtick).

We go through this every single AJ thread. It's because people make the threads and they get discussion.

If you want to post a review from a Youtuber there's nothing stopping you. Just realize it might not get much discussion.

because certain reviewers go in depth enough to warrant their own thread

angry joe reviews are typically 20-30 minutes long and have a bit more substance than your usual 5 minute run down and score

With Joe probably just because it pisses people off.

Which I'm more than fine with. Joe puts in the hustle, so I'm glad he gets his own thread for exposure. Also pissing off thread whiners is always a plus in my book ;)

Why does god of war get its own thread.

7/10 needs more BOI.

Will watch later, literally on the last hour of the game or so as i type, but the score is exactly how i feel.

Well, this time the answer can actually be that the review thread has been locked lol

That makes sense. I'd like to see a general 'late breaking review' thread, for all the in-depth YouTube reviews and written content that comes out after the game's release. That way one creator isn't being elevated above everyone else *and* we can have a generally less toxic discussion, now that the consensus opinion is known and the game is actually available for posters to play.

But that is just Review Thread OT 2.

It would be kind of funny if a 9 (a great score imo) by AJ is what ends up dropping GoW from 95 to 94, as it currently seems to be on the brink after the 8 from Edge (only Portal 2 PS3 is below it in the 95 range).

We would then get Angry Joe vs Angry Fans, as some tend to take their MC a bit too seriously. :)

Some reviews come out much later after the initial rush, some offer really in-depth analysis, some take a different approach. There is no good reason why X review doesn't get it's own thread and why Y review does. If you find a reason to make a thread about something: make it. If the mods deem it trash, it'll get locked. If the community deems it trash, it'll fall off the front page quickly.

Now that I have an answer to my question, I'm going to abandon thread - don't want to get in the way of the discussion about the actual video.

did the edge 8 actually happen? I can't tell if it's just a running joke or not lol
