Our beloved Storm Dain finds some epic yet disturbing similarities between Fallout 3, The Force Unleashed, Saints Row 2 and inFamous -- all while producing a thought-provoking and cocaine-free piece of video entertainment. Hit the jump and learn of the simple mysteries of solitude and sub-par shoulder buttons.
I'm going to go ahead and assume that maybe not everyone who reads the front page of Destructoid also regularly checks up on the YouTube account. Just a thought.
Okay, wow @fadecy Why are you complaining that it shows up on other sites? Do you see the player that the video is in? YOUTUBE!! That means the contents gonna be on there first ANYWAYS. Also, so what if the content gets put up late? Don't you think they have OTHER things to worry about? Destructoid is a huge website with a huge contest going on. Give the guys a break, they're doing the best they can
Your first mistake was coming to dtoid in hopes of seeing it here first. People come to Dtoid for the community and the original articles, not up to date news.
Now, I'm not here to take any sides to this internet war (serious business?) as this IS old, but at the same time, I'm not gonna bitch about it because it's still fun to watch the second time around...
BUT:

HAHAHAHA, I'm so sorry dude. I don't mean to pick on you, but that comment was just more offensive than it was complementary. It made it funnier knowing just how DAMN serious you actually were about that comment.
I don't know about you guys, but I come here for the community, the originality, AND the up to date news. Sometimes I get one, sometimes I get all, sometimes I get none. Regardless, I will be dropping by because I enjoy it... and honestly, it's not the end of the world. No website will be 100% flawless.
Wow, people really don't think anything changes between the good and evil playthroughs? Maybe it's because I Played It Right(tm) unlike your fools.
The first time through (Good on Normal) I did most of the open world stuff and collecting and then second time through (Evil on Hard) I just ran through doing the story missions and minimal other sidequests. Practically two different games when you play it that way and I'd highly recommend playing it that way.
I'm not saying Dtoid doesn't get the occasional scoop, just saying most of the news posted on here was usually posted first somewhere else, but I wouldn't know as I only read dtoid with the occasional gametab. But the main draw of the site is the community and originality. But fucktards like Fadecy think this is IGN or something and it's supposed to be on top of news the second it's broken.
I have a Destructoid account and a YouTube account. Like most people with a YouTube account, I have no idea why I bothered to sign up for a YouTube account. I saw this video here first. And only.
And I really liked it. Lots of good, valid complaints about inFAMOUS but he took a fair look at it and recognized how fun it was regardless. Just interesting to watch, and the trophies bit is awesome too. I too thought I wouldn't give a shit about trophies, and now I'm level 9 and I've got a platinum with inFAMOUS and rented Terminator Salvation just for the quick platinum there too.
The only part that was annoying about the video is the animosity to the PS3 console itself. It's fine to not like the bumpers on the controller, but to call the entire console sub-par without truly backing it up was a little uncalled for. I wouldn't mind watching a Storm's Adventures! PlayStation 3 video to go over this kind of stuff.
Also, @hpv: I played it the same way as you and the game is still basically the same. Story-wise almost exactly. Gameplay-wise very close. Not a terrible thing, but they really should've widened the difference between good and evil further.
Ohayyy that was slightly amusing and informative and I HADN'T SEEN IT BEFORE because i don't go on youtube without being directed to a SPECIFIC video because YouTube is a cesspool inhabited exclusively by NUBSAUCE CLOWNS, *inhale* but fuck it, first ten posters, who are all actually the same person (fadecyfadecyfadecy), let's complain about how its a week old because it makes us feel super informed as if the rest of the internet actually cares. (hint: it doesn't.)

That said i'm definitely considering picking up a copy of inFAMOUS now as my PC copy of Prototype is D E K C U F because ATI cards apparently don't cooperate with the dynamic lighting so it looks like Time Crysis and i can pretend its the fucking 90's or something and my eleventy-billion core computer doesn't even exist yet. Jaysus. And hey i've been totally in the mood for an openworld superhero game so maybe... hmmm...
Oh and i LOVE punching water towers until the 'slode, which i here is futured prominently in both games.
I love it, and don't see a huge problem with it. But, I also don't see what the point was in "previewing" the video beforehand on Youtube: Jim's "What I've Dones" are generally on Youtube before release as well. My guess is they test it out with an audience before they put it on the main page?
@fadecy
Count me in that "10%" as well then. Just saw it for the first time. I also have a Youtube account, but am too lazy to log into it. How do ya like me now?
The Dtoid Youtube account has 2229 subscribers... do you really think that's everyone who comes to this site? And have you noticed that not nearly every article is accompanied by a youtube clip? Futhermore, do you realize what a fucking retard you are?
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Really, guys, what the hell, you don't give people much reason to visit your site.
I guess storm had it done in advance
Why do people freak out so much over something like this? Yeah, it's a little late. Don't have a heart attack over it.
Well I must be part of that 10% as I don't have an account and I haven't seen this. Why don't you just stfu and go somewhere else?
So how about quit being a douchebag.

OOOOOOOOOOOOLD
Also, I hadn't seen it until just now either.

This is new to me, so this post has done it's job.

But, seeing it posted still made me happy just as much as if it was brand new, and I watched it again.

Yep. I deliberately put my videos live on Youtube about 24 hours before I put them on the site to give them an early test.

Go back to Kotaku, Fadecy, and stay there.
Get a new avatar, fadecy. That one was posted in this thread yesterday.
I checked all the threads on other sites, too. It's like two weeks old dude.
