Awesome / GameXplain

• The huge amounts of work put into all the analyses. These videos below are notable for its length near as long as a feature-length film!
  • Using the nearly 10 hours of footage plus their own time with the demo of the game, they analyzed the gameplay, story and, most impressively, mapped out all the known land in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with what looks to be surprising accuracy.
  • With Super Mario Odyssey, they managed to make less than 1.5 hours of analysis from a single trailer!
  • GameXplain does it again for the Super Mario Maker 2 reveal trailer, with ''exactly'' 1.5 hours!
• The Game of the Decade 2010-2019. For each year, each member of the team involved first had to sell their choice with a PowerPoint-style presentation, followed by a response period where the other team members grilled them on the game's weaknesses. The result is hours of insightful and often hilarious debate.
  • If there was any one presentation that truly stood out, it was Steve's presentation for 2017 Game of the Year, which he gave to Sonic Mania. He starts his presentation with inspirational quotes from Michael Jordan, John Rockefeller, and Martin Luther King Jr. and then transitions into a thirty second clip of the best aspects of the game. He then goes on to bring up quotes from his fellow GameXplain members and says how everything they look for in a good game is in Sonic Mania (A "10/10 bounce", more Sonic characters, a great soundtrack, and being surprisingly well compressed for the content it has). When the members start grilling him for his choice, his confidence shines through, especially when he turns a weakness Andre brings up into a diss at Andre's Game of the Year.
    Andre: Not a single hitch. Those are powerful words for a game that features one of the worst 3D bonus stages in any 2D Sonic game. How do you defend that?
    Steve: Sounds like somebody was bad at the UFO catcher game. It takes skill, Andre.
    Andre: It was boring and repetitive!
    Steve: "It was boring and repetitive"? How was collecting all those moons, Andre? There's a thousand!
