Tom,

The first thing you mention in this review is Twilight Imperium 3, instead of what game the video is about, which is Galactic Emperor. You then state that the game wasn't as satisfying as you had hoped because you had such high expectations. It's possible you may have liked this game more if you hadn't had those expectations. Saying that, and having that experience about misplaced expectations, I'm surprised you based your video on your expectations, rather than what the game is really like. If I'm new to gaming, and I see this video to determine if I want the game, I'd come away feeling deflated, because that was the vibe of half of the video.

I don't think you meant it to come across that way, but I feel that you did a disservice to the game by leading off with qualifiers, instead of mentioning your expectations and comparisons to TI3 at the end of the video, where it wouldn't come across quite as negative.
