I love The Video Game Years, but that doesn't mean I'm crazy about everything with the show. I do wish the episodes were longer like they used to be. I understand the explanation behind why they were shortened, but I preferred the longer episodes that I could kick back and soak in.
My other major issue is the snarky comments and gamebashing that seems to have crept into the show. The tone, in that regard, seems much different from the earlier episodes that were more informative and focused on why a game is being talked about decades after the fact.
But overall I still love the show. It covers the classic era of games and has many of my favorite youtube personalities giving some insightful and pleasant commentary. The production values/editing has improved a lot since the beginning. I could do without the "video game babes" segment(not because it's supposedly demeaning to women, I just think it's dull and a waste of time) and the "it should have been a game" stuff. I like it when the show just focuses on the games and the culture of the era they were a part of.
