Well if you've come this far and want a bit of behind the scenes here you go

This video essay has been in the works for about 7 months now, Chapter 1 started being written before the games were even out because I knew it would take me a while so I wanted a head start
Usually I complete my full script, narrate it, edit it into video, but this time I'd complete one chapter script, narrate it, edit into video, then write the next chapter script... bit of a different pace for me, and you might've heard my tone shift from disappointment to genuinely irked the more I analyzed this game by the end...
Chapter 1 I had commissioned by Eagle, who had this weird tearing/shearing effect when rendered at 30fps, so Chapter 1 was actually at 24fps, did you notice the difference?
The intro and conclusion were actually the last things I did, both of which were narrated while I was still recovering from Covid, so if my voice sounds slightly off in them that's the reason why. I wanted to wait until I was fully better, but honestly I got impatient and had already waited a week by that point, I wanted to finish this and move on with my life, and get this video out before tears of the british
