Watched Josh Strife Hayes's video on Amnesia.
Didn't realize it was a legit great game lol, I always just assumed it was kinda bad for some reason.
I think maybe because of all of the '' REACT '' Youtubers playing it and the games it spawned that rely heavily on jumpscares.
The way Youtubers and Streamers played the game made me think it was just a cheap jumpscare game.

At least in his review he made it seem like a really good horror game.

Obviously you shoudn't watch those jesters if you want any realistic take on a game. On the other hand, if they stopped talking, put on clown make-up while making stupid faces and strange noices (so basically what they've been doing, just without the appropriate get-up), even i might watch them.

I don't really watch those Streamers, I really dislike the obnoxious over the top stuff.
But yeah whenever I thought of Amnesia I thought of Pewdiepie lol.

I am currently watching Jeathebelle play the FFXIV MSQ ( one of the Echo raiders ) which is a lot of fun he's really loving it.
I like that his reactions seem more genuine too no over the top stuff, I kinda like that he doesn't have a face cam even.
When he gets sad there's just silence and I can kinda appreciate that I think that's rly how most people react to crying and feeling sad when playing games, they don't scream and throw a tantrum which often happens with streamers.
I prefer to just have a more real reaction even if that means no reaction too.

I've been watching Nobbel play too and he doesn't have much of a reaction either other than smiling and his chat memes a lot about it too but you can clearly see that he does feel stuff too.
But he just doesn't play it up and fake it, I just find it annoying when people do.
