I made this video because I am tired of reviewers not understanding how much value shmups have to offer, and how most other gaming genres tend to be more fluff than actual gameplay meat. These days, overall gameplay time, seems to be the dominant metric of determining value, but it is not a reliable way to look at quality game design and is generally over-inflated to the point of wasting the player's time in most mainstream games.
