I'm all for in depth criticism but I just don't see many people on ERA watching a five hour critique about a game as beloved as P5.
The only thing I can say is Persona 5's story and characters deeply affected me on a level almost no other video game I've played has and it's a contender for my all time favorite game. Liking a game is just a matter of whether or not the good stuff overshadows the bad. I know that sounds simple but I feel like that gets kinda lost in the weeds, like people expect one or two big flaws to be the smoking gun, when that isn't the case for everyone.
I could certainly break down my misgivings with Persona 5 as a game, there are quite a few - but as an overall experience, it's one of the best I've ever played through. Those 100 hours flew by.
Agreed. Also, Matt rarely (never?) has videos over an hour long. Perfect for running on the treadmill if you ask me!

MatthewMatosis videos are long because his analysis is meticulous and detailed, not because of a lack of editing. Every point of criticism or analysis builds to a larger thesis in his videos. You can't just say "well MatthewMatosis has long videos and this video is long too" as if that equates the actual content of the video.
