I enjoy the videos. Sometimes I find myself talking back as if the dude was in person. I could see countering a lot of his points. Although, he often makes great cases for his points.

OT - Ever wonder what EXACTLY makes DoDonPachi better than Golf?

Exactly how I feel. Sometimes I'll think "nah man blah blah", or "totally man blah blah" but I want to let him finish.

Love his videos, especially as a big shmup fan. Lots of people get hung up on his narrow views of what kind of games he likes, but if you don't listen to critics purely to validate your own opinions and tastes, that's not a problem.

There are plenty of times I have a different take from his, but more often he'll be the only person with a dissenting opinion on a game where I'm in total agreement with him. Stellar Blade is a recent one. It's just not a very good game, and he clearly walks through the reasons why in a way that I didn't see anyone else discussing.

Couldn't have summed him up better ...also, he was right about Stellar Blade. It's been an empty experience for me game design wise.

I was wondering what he thought about Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty from Team Ninja but haven't seen any opinion on it despite him creaming up Nioh. Kinda sus. Might be a Japanophile.

I tried watching some of his stuff and he's so full of shit I can't believe people are taking him seriously

I have watched a few of his videos. He seems to exclusively like a very specific breed of games, and everything that deviates from that is bad. I agree with quite a few of his points, but that kind of view is limited.

Regarding Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, the only true downside is that the game is quite easy, even without abusing any of its mechanics. Nobody plays a videogame by skipping all enemies, at least when you are not speedrunning it. Everything else he says is "Ragebound does not adhere to the NES games, hence its bad". While it is true that the design ethos of Ragebound is different from the NES games, the game is still super fun to play and remains engaging from start to end.
