No

Good Stuff! Thanks for the Nostalgic Slam! Hit the feels!

Hey BluShades, nice video! I hope Derek comes back one day. I really enjoyed watching his videos back in the day.

I wanted him back so badly that I sent him a message telling him how great and missed he was. To this day I'll think about CGRundertow sometimes and miss it. He really could have come back at any time and had an audience, I don't know why he let himself get depressed about losing his job instead of just going at it on his own.

@@xenos_n. You have to realize how much of a team was behind him. He probably felt he could not do it on his own. I think it would have been possible if he learned about editing, promoting his own channel and lowering the significant output that was normal to CGR. But there's something about being part of a team and he does not seem like a lone wolf.

Same.

Mark is back on KZfaq just incase you guys didnt know.

Tell me about it. I'm only 27 and life is going by too fast.

For me it's this and IGN's Game Shop series

On a similar note it seems "The Last One Ever" is no longer on the channel.

huh

Their videos were short and rushed. Barely explaining how the game worked and usually showing brief opening moments but when their isnt much competition it will get moderate views.

@@Ever23last Very true. God Bless,

@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 It's exactly what I said in my video. The problems with CGR are from the rapid expansion, decline of video quality and lack of business acumen. There are plenty of other channels that went through and came out of the Ad Apocalypse and are stronger/bigger now than previously - Angry Joe, Gmanlives, etc. This video seems to be looking back on rose-tinted specs, I was actually shaking my head; crediting Derek for being a "storyteller" & a "Games Journalist"... lol Half of the time, Derek would just rant or mumble throughout the barely 5 minute long "review". Watch the Spec Ops The Line review, you can tell he never played it. The majority of the positive comments on here (I suspect) are from nostalgic twenty-something adults, who watched CGR years ago. The majority of the CGR videos were just made very quickly to grab ad-revenue, and it shows. Derek even stated this in an interview with SuperGainsBros, something which this video curiously leaves out... As for Derek coming back, it's been like a decade since CGR Undertow was axed, yet this probably won't change that, the content on Undertow was very sub-par. I don't think the audience is there, hopefully I'm wrong about that assumption. It's like he's waiting for Mark or some gaming website/YT Channel to scoop him back up off his feet and offer him a job. I think he needs to help himself and just do it and find his audience.

@@XenonXyanide True your documentary was fantastic. I saw it the day after it uploaded I think. I remember his review for Hitman 2 Silent Assassin, he openly admitted that he never even beat the first level and had no idea how to actually play the game. Yet he's giving it a "review" LOL. In his "review" for Reign of Fire he spent about 5 minutes talking about going to the cinema with a hot chick and not even mentioning a single thing about the game, literally nothing.
