I guess the difference is that I know I watched her videos.CaptainCrunch said:You weren't entertained by the songs. Perhaps she wasn't entertained by the games.
I didn't make any real accusations about that, just observing that she doesn't seem to really like games, from her track record. That may be the truth or not, but no matter which, it still is a quality there in her videos. It's certainly not baseless.CaptainCrunch said:She expressed her lack of entertainment in the form of a song. You expressed it by attempting to discredit and devalue her expression, with baseless claims of unoriginality. Whether she cares about games at all is not something you can possibly ascertain by merely listening to a few songs. That would require knowing her personally.
Fair enough. But even bands that use verse chorus verse chorus etc. don't write such similar choruses. So far I think... four or five of her songs have choruses where she repeats a phrase THREE TIMES. If you can name a band that does that that many times I'll be impressed. Most choruses don't have any repetition, let alone saying something exactly three times in every song.JusticarPhaeton said:For all of you 'this is always the same' naysayers:
There is something called a song structure in music. It typically goes Intro -> Verse -> Chorus -> Verse -> Chorus ->Bridge or Break -> Verse/Chorus -> Outtro. Whatever music you listen to, i'm sure there's a pattern to it as well.
Agreed, though it's once every two weeks. Rebecca is a great artist and has a great voice, and that's something I've said from the start and repeated again every fortnight on each video. And that's because I genuinely like her music, and it's also interesting and pleasing to see that in that time, and especially this week, the number of people posting negative reviews has gone down drastically. I'll admit that last fortnight I didn't like it. That, as I explained then, is simply because I'm not a metal fan. But this week, despite some dodgy lyrics in the chorous, was brilliant. The Worms acapella one is still my favourie, but that's because I love acapella a lot. This week though, the lyrics were mostly good, the style was great and the music fit the game greatly. The instrumentals were awesome and I still absolutely love Rebecca's voice. All in all, great work and a marked improvement to the metal one last fortnight. Keep it up girl, well done .General Store said:To those who say this segment will get boring: I disagree, as has been said she is improving remarkably each week and, even if she weren't; with videos like these once a week (even if she didn't change her song-structure or video-style) would take a long time to get boring.
I suppose we can, but may I suggest that your posts also be interpreted by auteur theory?Zand88 said:Oh well, can we agree to disagree?
I thought that there would be a big joke about this too, but in the end it was brought down by the fact that it's a shooting game with a woman - and most woman in games have problem with keeping their clothes or dressing properly.Fritzvalt said:I enjoyed the song a lot. The tone of it was just right. Surprised there were no jokes about the whole morphine thing.
I look forward to more in the future.
I'd add that after seeing Sims 3 review nobody would assume that she didn't play the game. But now that there are so many shooters brought to songs a thought of woman playing them all might be suprising (pretty woman). If I didn't see her song about Resident Evil then I'd say that she might not like that kind of games - but I guess she can, and thanks to the Escapist she can play lots of kinds of games - even if she didn't play one or two of the games that she reviewed I enjoy the songs as they have some level of review, even if it was copied from somewhere else (like ZP) - in the end there's still songs and video clipisZand88 said:I guess the difference is that I know I watched her videos.

Also, I have to know her personally to know that? Ehhhh. If auteur theory means anything, then you can observe a person's opinions and perspective through patterns and reoccuring themes in their creative work. That, or base it off of what you know their behavior to be.
Meeting most people, I wouldn't automatically assume they like video games.. Going along with that, I wouldn't assume someone likes video games when their attitude toward it seems mostly negative. Just saying.
Oh well, can we agree to disagree?
