Some of the Gamesack videos are really well thought out and all, and have great content. Some of them though feel like time wasters put out there to just to say "Hey we are still here". I wish they would go bi-weekly or something instead of every week, and do better videos then filler about demo disc.
And I mean, each episode doesn't have to be about a bunch of games from some specific genre or whatever. It would be cool to see someone take the time to focus on one specific game, dig up as much dirt about it as possible including regional differences or last min changes made to the game, and do a good piece on it. There are plenty of games that deserve that kind of video. Akumajo Densetsu, Run Sabre, Bionic Commando etc.
I agree. I think that *depth* is seriously lacking everywhere (not just GameSack).
Sure, a handful of articles/videos/posts might dig into something, but it is rare.
(A) The dude from magweasel...he digs into things sometimes. It might not have been groundbreaking stuff for Japanese PCE fans, but it was fun for non-Japanese speaking folks. I wish he didn't abandon his PCE magazine project—he put things *into context*, which is something that requires knowledge of Japan, and historical events in pop culture history.....not simply language skills.
I saved all his PCE posts because I know I'll re-read it.
(B) I really don't know the French PCE scene (I have a toddler's grasp of the language), but I get the impression that they had a somewhat informed view of the PCE that we (NA TG-16 fans) lack, even to this day. I'm talking about possessing a basic, solid understanding of the Japanese market, economics of industry, role of developers, etc.
Anyway...
