      @@jamesverhoeven8769 thanks so much. I'm proud of my thumbnails. Haha. Some take like an hour to make.
      It takes time and effort because I like to beat the games before I talk about em.
      But it's hard to compete with similar channels who just pump out content daily with Ai scripts, Ai voice overs and Ai thumbnails.
      I can do at most 3 videos a month.
      Also my stat related videos do the best. Maybe I'm just attracting people that love data and excel spreadsheets as much as I do.
      Thanks for taking the time to comment it helps a lot.

    Underrated channel!
    I think you should make videos reviewing some of the best games you played on extra or essential.
    Like a while video reviewing something like Returnal or ghost runner

    • @OliveOcelot
      @OliveOcelot  4 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for watching. Well I did make TWO such videos. One is 55 Ultimate Short Games list and the other is 100 games I played and beat on extra tier list, that one is a 3 part video because it's so long! You should be able to see them on the side, being recommended. They have a giant pink 1, 2, 3 on them.

      Yes great videos I’ve already watched then fully but I was thinking of more full fledged reviews instead of brief ones
      Like a whole video dedicated to a single game. You’ll get a lot of content out of it and these reviews tend to gain more views
      You can even make it a series of reviewing every plus extra game!

      ​@AliG-g7b1khmm I started the channel with game reviews and would give them stars but it's hard competing with ign and dozens of well established ones. I just dropped a review of plucky squire just for you and to test to see if I do a new game and now have more followers if people cared about those type of videos and sadly the experiment failed, barely a 100 views.
      I like niche video recommendations though. Like top horror games on extra, top coop games, etc. More ideas like that.
      I want people to stumble on my channel when they sub to extra but don't know what to play and get exposed to new games. Problem with game reviews is they already have to know the game and actively search for it instead of me recommending a game they hadn't heard of before.

    @drewk3259 4 месяца назад +2

    Man, we think very similarly when it comes to games. We got similar like and I'm trying to do the same thing with ps plus. Trying to play all the extra games and keeping most of the essential games in the backlog. There's a few I've played from essential, like Sifu and like a dragon. But for the most part, I'm leaving them and knocking out as many on extra and then I'll downgrade at some point.
    Love your channel bro. Keep up the good work!

    • @OliveOcelot
      @OliveOcelot  4 месяца назад +1

      Thanks so much. I'm happy we've got similar likes. I'm trying so hard to avoid essential monthly games but it's hard when they drop a multiplayer heavy one because servers are full right after the drop, sometimes you wait a year or two and it takes so long to find a game do I feel like I miss the hype. Although that's no excuse for me to actually finish powerwash lol.
      What are your biggest games left on the extra backlog. For me it's disco Elysium and Tsushima. I hope I beat em way before they remove them because a months notice might not be enough.

    • @drewk3259
      @drewk3259 4 месяца назад

      @@OliveOcelot very true with multiplayer games. I rarely play multiplayer anymore, but I'll make an exception for some. And power wash got me too! Something about that game really grabbed me. So chill.
      There's still heaps I wanna play in extra. Deliver us the moon, dishonored 2, judgement, life is strange collection, Wolfenstein 2, soulstice, metal hellsinger, a hat in time, shadow run collection, grime, miasma chronicles, plucky squire, cult of the lamb, etc. But my must plays are ff crisis core, no more Heroes 3 and resident evil 2 which I plan on knocking out for Halloween.
      Disco and ghosts are both amazing. Definitely jump on them before they go. Disco Elysium in particular because there really isn't much like it. The writing and setting is just stellar. I bought it not long after it came out and plan to do another playthrough at some point. I put it right up there with outer wilds. Came out of nowhere and became one of my top games of all time. And ghosts was one of the first games I played on extra. I don't think it does anything special, very similar to a lot of open world games, but I think it's the best open world game out there. While a lot of open world games have been stagnant with the genre, ghosts really takes the formula and perfects it. Someone else described it as the best Ubisoft game ever and I think that's a great description. Absolutely stunning game. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them.

      I usually focus on short games on Ps plus extra. There are a few videos that have a ton of games. I did make a 3 part tier list video, so skip to the end to see what the best of the best are. At least the 100 that I played, still have a few more s tiers I haven't played yet including ghost of tsushima. Which will probably get removed in the next month or two.
