Either keep it clean or keep it simple. Distortion effects should be kept to a bare minimum, even if it fits to the song. Why? Because not everybody enjoys getting a headache. If half the clip involves distortions, there's a problem. Same goes for flashes. I want to see the damn gameplay, not flashes of white whenever the guy so much as fidgets.

Keep in mind, I have a bias towards a cleaner edit, so take my CC with a grain of salt. I watch for the action, not the effects. Effects should compliment the gameplay, not drown it, in my opinion.

This is an edit, an overedit.
You know, theres alot of people liking overedits now in times.

Gameplay is inherently the reason why you should be making the video. If gameplay wasn't the reason, you would of chosen any clip available, yet you chose a triple headshot through smoke. Your argument poses a contradiction with your actions.


And just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Overedits are slowly becoming viewed as a joke of an edit, as seen by the increase of spoof videos released mocking overedits (often using train simulator and similarly boring games as footage).

Overedits is used as joking AND showing off editing styles.
Heres some examples for overedits thats actually being liked and are not taken as a joke. (Don't compare these with mine)

Which I suppose you find more funny than create a decent video and learn how to make videos that entertain the ppl instead to just try out random effect where you actually can understand whats going on from beginning to the end-
