That really is huge. I actually posted on Xbox.Uservoice before that they should use him to advertise their games. Def big news. Dont like him though

Yeah, I find his videos hard to watch as well. He's kind of funny sometimes but also kind of annoying. But this will definitely be good for Sunset. Just PewDiePie's Sunset Overdrive videos will likely get more views than any of the trailers for the game that MS has released on Youtube, and if his playthrough prompts alot of other Youtubers to play it as we've seen in the past with other games it'll get tons more views.

It already has 59k more likes than the most viewed Sunset vid on Youtube. This was the best thing MS could have done for this game. I bet Insomniac is super happy their being backed by them

So I posted those dates on GAF too and got messages I needed to delete them. Not posting stuff on GAF anymore lol


What did you post and what is your Gaf handle?



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Same, I just don't get it. That said I don't know why anyone watchings youtube videos of games. I'd rather actually play games than watch other people play them, but maybe that's just me.

Ya, I'm the same. Watching other people play is just boring to me.

I ask that myself about most really successful Youtubers. Sometimes I think the most successful Youtubers are those who are "most fake" with their reactions and stuff. No idea why people love if someone obviously fakes reactions like "omg soo crazy I piss my pants heeeelp" shit...

Overacting seems to be a very beloved thing.

But he seems to be a very nice guy so that it's not too bad that he is so successful.

Well he was one of the first who edited his game video's, most just uploaded a video of them playing the game with minimal editing. 
He also spend a lot of time making videos like 1-3 video's a day (he already posted a new video after that sunset one).  This in combination with interesting and mostly new/unknown games he became a hit;

Game theory had a episode about him:

Funny how Pewdiepie had 10 million subscribers in that video...15 months later and he almost has 32 million subscribers..

Yeah, that's a really big advertisement for Sunset. The thing about PewDiePie is that when he plays a game alot of other Youtubers play that game as well once they see how popular his playthrough, it gets the game alot of exposure and really increases it's sales. Goat Simulator was one of those cases, when PewDiePie played it suddenly every Youtuber was playing it, and the game's sales skyrocketed as a result. This could be really good for Sunset.


It already has 60k likes and only 885 dislikes O.O epic! View count still has to catch up though.

Well it goes fast, 30 minutes ago it was 120K now 320k viewers.     His sunset overdrive was not bad or annoying to watch, also his new compilation was entertaining did not knew he played dead rising 3...
