I wanted to post this in the "Site and discussions" sub page rather then here since I was directly asking about this website, but then I just wondered if others sites also up for consideration. To be honest, I don't like reading, not cause I don't enjoy what people have to say but I just feel more invested to care if I was listening to someone than to read context. Voices bring things to life on a more satisfying level, I just feel personally is hard for text to reach that level alone.
I submitted some reviews for this site (Over 10 actually) and some of them add humor. Sometimes it is to poke fun at the game, I feel the game sometimes have jokes hidden in them i can reveal, sometimes is comparing two things or just trying to keep it from being monotonous and depressing, the satisfying integration of a serious moment well blended with a joke. I'm not much of a creative writer but I try. The reason is I know that if I was reading text and felt too boring cause it is too long to hold my interest, I insert joke here to keep the viewer wanting to know if there is more to come.
But I wonder how do other people feel about it? Do people appreciate such things or do they feel is unnecessary cause it may be hard to take the writer seriously. I understand, it is a review. The point is to share your experience with what you did and tell someone else about it so the influence of buying or passing on a game or movie or whatever is assisted in their decision. Adding lots of moments that should "WOW" the viewer, with serious moments that make it impactful enough for them to understand, keep it a bit amusing weather it is a good game or bad game and include some fun facts along with interesting stories regarding the creation of said media is more my preferred way to view them, but others probably want bearly minimum facts and opinions expressing the stuff making it end as soon as possible. The problem is if you choose to include more, how do you balance it to not be overbearing like a book or novel to just having all your desires met with a presentable presentation for viewers.
If anyone has thoughts to share, please leave a comment below, and if you are talking about a video or text review to specify which one. I'm not asking you to "Comedy central roast" anyone's review but to just share your opinion on what kind of reviews appeal to you most, what kind of creative writing that they should include to get your attention.
