A Honest Review, With A HDMI Cable!

DISCLAMER: All thoughts expressed in this review are my personal opinions, and nothing more, yours may differ, however, these are just my feelings towards these items.
Rating system: The rating system i use will be out of five cables. The way i rate this is by using categories for each cable; Contrast/visibility, visual impact, weapon previews, market impact and the logic behind the effect. After i average and round these numbers, thats how i get the cable score.
1 is 'usually' horrid, and i usually dont review these effects unless there is a underlying reason (intresting idea, future developments etc.)
2 is 'usually' bad, i will review these although i will probably downvote them, as that is my preference, and it dosn't have to be yours.
3 is 'usually' mid tier effect, i will usually not upvote/downvote these.
4 is 'usually' good effect, i generally upvote these.
5 is 'usually' a god tier, i always upvote and recommend for others to check it out.


Contrast/Visibility
Now that im done with the nitty gritty, lets get into this effect review for today. This effect is a absolute delight, in my opinion. I love how the effect contrasts well with both dark, and lit backgrounds, which makes it a great effect for any weapon, although i personally love it on the heavy's minigun 'Sasha' or the Medic's medigun. For this category, i will give the effect a 5, as i can't think of any pure server maps it wouldn't mix well with.


Visual Impact
Judging by the gif, this will be quite a distracting effect, which makes it a bit much for combat, as it can easily distract, and even irratate the user with its consistent beams and waves. The only upside i could really find for this category was that it is as distracting as most the official unusuals in the game are right now, which at least puts it on a level playing field. For this category, i will give it a 3, as it still quite a busy effect for what it is worth.


Weapon Previews
In the previews, the weapons look like the barrel is nearly doubled in size, which isn't a problem for high fovs, or minimized models, although most of the community uses the default settings, which would make this a pretty annoying effect on a lot of the bulky weapons, as the lines are quite defined and bold, however this is the opposite with the smaller weapons as it adds to the weapons profile, and makes them feel bulkier and thicker, with the addition of the defined lines. For this caegory i am giving the effeect a 3, as most weapons are bulky and full on, although the fewer small weapons would be quite pleasing to use with this effect.


market impact
This item, unlike others i've seen, will have a vast impact on the market, as it will probably be quite a high tier effect for a lot of collectors, as they will look good, and probably won't become old and stale as they are quite colorful and playful effect wise in comparison to the boring, repetitive effects we have now.
Early impact - I think the first few of these will go for a few hundred keys, as the hype will probably be pretty high as they look excellent in the thumbnails.
Mid Impact - I feel asif these will drop only a few dozen keys after more have been unboxed, and i think they will still remain ontop of the food chain, as it is a fresh, unique effect.
Late Impact - I believe these will stay remain ontop of the game, and it will barely drop from the price at the mid point, as they will be highly sought after in bulk for full backpack sales, and i strongly believe this could generate huge profit margins.
In this regard, i will give it a 5, as it will maintain a good, steady price, unless there is a mass unboxed in a month or so, but thats the same for all unusuals.
Logic
The logic behind this effect must be atleast 100IQ, as this effect takes on board a mixture of fan favourite effects, and puts them together, which makes this a smart choice, as people love hat effects, so why wouldn't they love them on there favourite gun?
This gets a 5 as the creator has clearly thought out what they wanted to do with this effect, and it is clearly illustrated through the banners and thumbnails.
Cable Score
Overall, i loved reviewing this effect, and i personnaly hope that this thing makes its way into game very soon, in a close future update.

The score is...... 4
Yup, thats right, the cable score is 4, and it has earned a upvote form me, hopefully this has made you want to upvote this items aswell, i've been your reviewer, That.HDMI.Cable, and take care until next time!
