Most overrated gaming franchise?

What kind of gaming content do you wish you saw more of?

(I accidentally posted this in the introduction forum and have no idea how to delete it lmao, first time using this website hopefully that isn't an issue) Firstly to start off I wanna say this is in no way a promotion for my youtube channel, but rather just a general question I want to ask other gamers (non derogatory) I've been wondering about for a while now. A little backstory, I've been doing gaming youtube content for around half a year now and one of the things I always struggle with is the format and how to keep it fresh and new rather than essentially just remaking content that others make. Personally I feel that I hardly find gaming content worth watching at this point and so I want to do my best to try to distinct myself from the crowd. Generally speaking I feel that most gaming content that I see now falls into one of several categories: game analysis/essay, playthroughs (although that's become less popular over all), or challenge runs; And I think that for the most part that shit has just been exhausted. So here are the two question I have for other people who like to watch gaming content on youtube: 1. Who are some gaming youtubers you feel genuinely have a unique style that's refreshing to watch? 2. What are some styles/formats of content you feel you don't see enough, but wish you did? I personally have been making sort of highly edited, high effort play-through (I guess would be the most fitting term?) videos of a variety of games that I personally have interest in (everything from the original fallout games to all capital G Gamer's favourite 3D platformer: Bubsy 3D), where I try to have actually good story telling, comedy and live action bits interspersed to keep things fresh. And personally I really like the type of content I do, but seeing as these videos aren't particularly doing well (which I know in part is due to the fact that "making it" on youtube is just a long ardous journey), it sort of makes me question whether or not other people are really interested in this type of content. Again, I am not trying to promote myself in anyway, just genuinely wanted to hear other people's opinion on the matter which could hopefully help organize my brain a bit. I don't know how to wrap this post up so I'll do it the way you do with an email Thanks in advanced, Me.

Definitely series like Mario (including its relative spin-offs), Pokémon and Final Fantasy.

Kingdom Hearts. The first one was some silly fun, but I honestly feel like it didn't need a sequel, let alone ten to twenty different "ReMiX" versions and half-sequels. I'm also convinced that even hardcore fans don't know or don't care what the story is supposed to be about.
