5: 30 it always confuses me when someone tried to argue for MORE money per hour (enjoyed)
SURE i'd gladly pay an extra 50% if i knew i'd get 50% more fun i guess?
but i have FOUND that there just are some games that cost the normal amount of time.
that i'll play for a decade. racking up 1000+ hours.
those results blow their arguement so far out of the water it landed on the freaking moon.
they're argueing that 15 is better then 10
when i'm telling them i have a bloody 1000.

This system is heavily biased against indie games. They often have low critic scores but high user scores due to critics not spending enough time playing them, low prices to get people to actually buy them, great artistic direction but low graphical specs for graphics. They are also often shorter and sell less copies, even if they are more highly acclaimed.
This is why Fortnite had 19 trillion times the score as that of Celeste, which was also my favorite game of 2018

According to Brian the GOTY 2018 is the criminally underrated Call of Cthulhu game by Cyanide Studios. I think it's the best videogame to come out of Lovecraft Mythos, compelling story, focus on atmosphere and mystery, solid detective mechanics, likable protagonist, there are a three combat sections that are quite annoying, but none of them are too hard and they aren't long. Solid 8. 5/10 from me.

Gotta love the descent into madness that is this formula, it starts with a pretty reasonable value in the dollars per minutes enjoyed, even noting that this is subjective on whether higher or lower is good, then takes a sharp left into frames per game per gamer. A value which is entirely useless and gives you less information than the normal fps that he started with.

This is like my 5th time watching this but I just realized bdg punished games for selling more copies. When he divides frames per game by # of gamers as the number of gamers goes up the frame per game per gamer goes down and bdg said that number should be a big as possible.

I cannot get over the fact that his mom is his number 1 fan, so much so that she is sooooo excited to help her son in this -research. -
That last quote of -I don't think you cannot do this NOT enthusiastically so you'll be fine! - was super wholesome.

I know this video is super old but is there anyway I could find the contact info of Brian's friend? I'm super interested in exoplanet atmospheres and would love to hear from him about how to get into moving my studies in that direction.

I-m sorry but FPGPG is the dumbest stat. It-s going to unfairly favor really long games that less people have played, which doesn-t seem like a good fit for the best game of the year. But perhaps I have expected too much from you

6: 48 - I'm a little flummoxed - does frames per game per gamer mean (frames/game)/gamer or is it frames/(game/gamer. I -must- know if my petition to ISO is for the adoption of _frames per game gamer_ or _frame gamers per game. _

i feel like the if game is art thing honestly could've been solved for real if you just figured out if a game was or wasn't made by a AAA company and if it was if it was made by a smaller or bigger team than the rest of their games

the more i think about it the more i realise that deviding the frames per game by the number of gamers makes no sense and was only done to make a long rhyming thing and sound funny

There's such an uncomfortable feeling watching someone talk about theirs hopes for 2019, family get togethers, and the holiday spirit gleefully ignorant of what 2019 had in store.

6: 17 Brian you messed up your math. If you multiply the highest frame rate by the average playthrough, you don't get the frames per game, you get the frames per game per gamer.

At the end when he said I hope 2019 is a wonderful year. I'm just glad he didn't do this video at the end of 2019 and say that for 2020 -

According to the equation, the more people bought the game, the lower its score is (because FPGPG-1/players. That can be right; right?
