Maybe it's my extreme bias against motion controls but madworld looks really dull

Smh... You gotta git back into the Cod scene. Gotta keep in touch with the gamers.
I feel like that's because the hype for Life is strange is a lot more mellow than Mad world. Just different level of excitement really sets the mood and audio levels of a LP.
That's probably what it'll end up being.
They are super brittle and would break if they hit armour, it can't even cut through bone.

Sometimes it's about content issues. I had to lower my game music volume off for my Fallout videos to not to be flagged.

Thin, brittle swords that are useless against any armors. Breaks easily. Can't cut through bone.

Japan has a special way of sucking their own dicks that very few can compare to.
I really think it's a Matt thing.
With Pat involved, LPs are a lot more involved and immersive for some reason, which is fantastic.
With Matt involved and no Pat in sight, LPs are more like watching Highlights Reels on a sports channel with a discussion over it by sports commentators, so it's like eh.
It's weird to describe but that's the best I can think of right now.

Japan loves to overhype their useless garbage better than any other nation.

I enjoy for every person who unironically loves America, there's way more self criticism. It's my favorite part about the US.

Scythe aren't even weapons. They're farming tools.
They are just made weapons, that are always used wrong, because they look cool.
No, but he was resurrected and has to train for 4 months.
It really depends on how they handle it, but the idea of just 4 months of training to reach Goku's level when he is weaker than Goten/Trunks is kind of pushing it, even by DBZ logic
Scythe isn't a weapon. It would have only be used by farmers.
yeah that's why I said they pulled it out their asses.

Is that so? Hm... You think they are doing the same thing?
It makes sense. It's just different personalities sets the mood for each LP. Pat is more about the game and how it feels. Matt is more about what the game is about and his general mood about the game such as a game made by platinum is something he would get hyped about.
Honestly, I don't like them going back to Frieza. DBZ was always good at moving forward, and the hoops that have to be jumped for Frieza not only to be revived but get on everyones level would have been simpler to just make a new villain or use one of the other gods Beerus mentioned.

I'm extremely tempted to say you're just letting your personal opinion/favoritism cloud your judgement.
That said, if you think some of the SBF LPs are bad, hoo boy, don't ever check out some other popular channels.
I can kinda see what you're saying, but I think that's just how their commentary differs, and what games they play.
Oddly enough, Liam has the same thing of Pat where he brings immersiveness into LPs, Matt/Liam videos are usually not even bad to watch.
My preference goes.
1. Pat/Matt
2. Pat/Woolie
3. Pat/Liam
4. Pat Solo
5. Matt/Liam
6. Woolie/Liam
7. Matt/Woolie
8. Matt Solo
That's a possibility.
That's what I think too. Since they too have their own tastes in games, so will treat games differently. Like matt really disliked the anime fighters, and you could tell.

Shhhhh its airsoft... Maybe?
Would you want to tell her that she's not allowed to?

I think the content of the commentary can generally be different.
Thinking more on it, Pat usually likes to praise, downtalk, or just generally discuss mechanics and strategies about what he's playing. Even Streetwise it always comes back to "This is so bad" and not dumb tangents while they play. Liam does the same but is generally far more positive.
I think game choice has a lot to do with it though. Mario RPG has a large amount of Pat and Liam tangenting about random stuff far more than they usually do while they go through random battles, but Barkley is exclusively them freaking out over the game.

bad gameplay lol
Switch Pat/Woolie with Pat/Liam and that's pretty much my list. That said, the NMH playthrough was great.
IMO Matt and Woolie LPs need Liam..They're too similar and fall into this relaxed groove which is fine..but kinda boring. Liam has a knack for delivering that one well placed joke or comment that bumps them out of that groove for the next 5-10mins and it becomes interesting again.
In my mind, Liam and Pat focus on the technical parts of a game, and while Woolie and Matt are more about the feel of the game and are the hype guys. Matt's solo stuff will improve given enough time and experience since he still has some kinks to work out.
I wish we get some Liam solo and Woolie solo just. I kinda want to see how it'll go.
They're more about the game and how to play it with less emphasis on the critism of the game in general. It's also the type of games they've played don't lend to as much discussion due to both of their knowledge about the game.

My list is very similar. The Matt and Woolie videos can be really good, I quite enjoyed scrublords and DKC but the full LPs tend to be really rough.
It's airsoft. They don't need to put the orange tips on the barrels in Japan

good point
That's a lot of b-
Are you serious? Aren't they super anal about guns?
Nice entrance
I agree, I think Matt and Woolie are the only combo that I don't enjoy. I think every playthrough needs Pat or Liam.
Pat/Liam and Pat/Woolie are pretty tied but I give a slight edge to Pat/Woolie because they've now had 3 LPs that I've really enjoyed (Dark Souls, Parasite Eve, and I Have No Mouth) whereas for Pat/Liam there's only Barkley (unless I'm forgetting something), because I lost interest in the Mario LP pretty quickly.

I definitely agree. That's totally right and I never really realized it. Hell, Liam could've made DKC even better.
LPers are usually goddamn annoying shits, I hate listening to them, I hate watching them.
I've seen and tried a bunch bunch and it's just... no.
Super Best Friends were just the first group to not be immediately grating or annoying, so I became a fan.
Even my least favorite SBF videos are preferable to watch than like 90% of Lets Players on youtube.
The only other exception is this one other guy who doesn't really do anything overly impressive or is even that well known but is fairly entertaining to watch in a calming way,

They are super anal about guns to the point where I don't think they are much of an issue over there.
Here is video of a Japanese airsoft/BB gun store. The guy in the video is grating but look at some of the things they sell

Thanks for the kind words.
Airsoft and japanese animes. Don't question it.
Pat is the cynicism and liam is the optimism.
Game choice is really a big make or break part of an LP, since if the game sucks and not even quirky, there's no way commentary can save it for 20 or so parts. They'd just run out of things to talk about.

That poor dude behind the counter lol. There's a place like that here in LA I think, I forget what it's called though. That's cool that they let you try them out like that though.
Damn straight
Yeah okay. That's fine
