Couldn't you argue that enjoying the souls community antagonise each other is also joining in on the antagonisation yourself, thus making you part of said community?

Wouldn't one have to actually participate in the antagonizing?

It kinda is, in a meta kind of way.
I call it post-antagonising.

I was worried that LastFight wouldn't have power stones in them, but they totally do.
And boy, Jason is bad at those fighting games. Good thing we have Dan to show him how it's done.
EDIT: oh no online play and no 4-player free-for-all pretty much instantly un-sold me

Yup, I laughed out loud. GB East is strong when it comes to bits and roleplaying.

It's too bad there's no one else on staff as serious about fighting games as Dan Ryckert, Jason just can't keep up in this QL.

Even when dan is surpressing his inner shitheel Jason just can't win.

I wonder how much money was lost by companies across the country while that was happening. NOBODY was working in my office

The college class I was in that afternoon ground to a complete halt when that was going on. Everyone was glued to their phones.
and when Tommy fell down the well and used walky talky.
This whole thing has been one of the more baffling controversies for me. Some people just get SO angry over it.

Or the one where everyone thought that little boy was stuck in a well but he was actually hiding in the barn?
or was that 12 Monkeys?
Yeah this isn't bad. Interesting to hear him talk about the polygon video/john walker article situation.
that we still have fucking 8.8 in this year of our lords of cinder 2016 is fucking beyond me
let's not even get into the ongoing clusterfuck that is gg. at least that hasn't flared up recently.
apropos of nothing, i've been thinking about game design again. Anyone have anything with combat kinda similar to hyper light drifter? there was that souls-alike from a while back I think. titan something?
specifically i'm interested in the perspective

it's not really a controversy
it's your typical gaming side garbage
a majority of the poster base outside of the community OTs sustain themselves on making mountains out of molehills on a daily basis
But it's spread so far and wide. I laughed when I saw that TotalBiscuit had given his valuable opinion on the subject because of course he had.
If this is all you have to do to get some clicks I think I'll start uploading gameplay clips of me playing any FPS. It's not a pretty sight. Maybe I'll try out CliffyB's new game or Overwatch.
I need this in podcast format
Yeah, was surprised he didn't really agree with Walker, but then Danny isn't really one to circle the wagons when his profession is attacked.
He makes a fair point - if the creator's 'skill' level isn't in line with your target audience, why make the content? And if the priority is just to rush it out the door however possible, then expect criticism.

Didn't you know that there should be a minimum baseline of video game skill required to get paid for doing something video game related? It's super unprofessional and you should never trust them again and their scores should be expunged from metacritic.
Also don't forget that like 60%of GAF wants to get paid for playing video games on the internet so it really chaps their asses when they think they're better than someone who currently is.
So you're saying we shouldn't expect people to be good at their job?
I completely agree that the video deserves to be laughed at, and that it's pretty obvious that it was a rush job by Polygon.
The way the video has blown up probably has a lot to do with people already hating Polygon and not needing much to declare the site's integrity dead.
FWIW I seem to remember him dismissing this on Tumblr. It's probably more that Gamespot doesn't let you experiment much, so he's doing some stuff he wants to do on the side.

Titan Souls and Gungeon are the two that pop into mind. If you want souls-like Salt and Sanctuary is out but that's not the same perspective. Bastion and Transistor, maybe?
Hyperlight is super unique in it's particular gameplay though. I really can't think of anything else like it.

hmm, that's interesting. it kinda solves a bunch of problems I was thinking about... well... I think so, theoretically, anyway...

Yeah, the fact that it came from Polygon is 100% why this thing has lasted as long as it has. The video was bad, sure, but there's nothing to actually discuss there -- but since it's from them, it's suddenly an issue worth thousands of posts.

the people who were bad at their jobs in this situation were the ones who decided that video was worth publication. Presumably that person isn't bad at their primary job or they wouldn't be employed?
e: also Homefront makes me look like I'm playing like that guy. game runs at like 20 fps and the input feels so laggy that dude is shooting like a solid half second after I pull the trigger and miss
Sounds dangerous.
you're an optimist, there are plenty of incompetent people with jobs they shouldn't have
