When you get right down to it, videogames aren't really even games.

We did that awhile back when I said I didn't like Half Life and don't understand why they're as revered as they are.

I would like to say that I haven't played KOTOR in a long time and I recently replayed both Dragon Ages because Inquisition is coming out. Standing by the Mass Effect universe though, probably my favorite fictional universe

His overly analytical videos annoy the hell out of me.
I see I'm running with a pack of escaped mental patients. What has become of me?

Resident Evil 1 is the first game I 100% completed and speed ran (1:58:47 with best ending).

The lore and background behind ME1 is great, but actual writing of events that happen, especially in 2 and 3, is more than lackluster.

I have it already and have played Half Life 2 and bits of Half Life 1. I just don't get it.

I just fucking love Bioware games you guys. Still haven't been able to play Jade Empire...
It's a children's cartoon. No it's not.

Me and my friends got to the point of that shitty Videogame: the Movie documentary where Max Landis claims facebook is a video game and we couldn't shut it off fast enough.

You have to like FPS games in order to like Half Life. IIRC you said you don't really like the shootbangz.

I like Bioware more than most, I even like DA2 a lot because I liked the characters a lot and thought the combat was simple fun.

You can watch the one where he loves Doom if you need a antidote.
I have less than no opinion on MLP, but I dislike TV dramas, so I disliked the first season I watched of Breaking Bad. Way better than the Walking Dead at least.

bad gameplay lol
I can't play BioWare games. Never enjoyed any of them I've tried. DA2, ME2, Jade Empire, KOTOR...nope. Just not for me.

I agree completely. Fuck everybody's opinion, a game with Varrick and Isabela in it is a good fucking game. I don't play Bioware games for the gameplay that doesn't take place through a conversation wheel.

I don't know what this is but it sounds bad.
ME2 was the only Bioware game I actually enjoyed.

Woof, I really like Max Landis but that sounds dumb. He's not a videogame person at all, why is he even getting interviewed?

I like that he's trying to do serious critique, I just wish it was done with a bit more perspective.
Nothing beats Matthewmatosis when you want in-depth game reviews.

I've never played a Clock Tower game, but the Scissorman theme from the PS1 game is some rad shit
Videogame: the Movie is a documentary supposedly about the history of video games that spends more time interviewing "nerd celebrities" like Chris Hardwick and Wil Wheaton about video games they played than the actual people who were involved in making the games.
Videogame: the Movie is awful.

I can't take any YouTube game design critiques seriously after seeing Egoraptor's 180 on his sequelitis videos.
I think the only thing I can use as quality design critiques are post-mortems(thank you game thread for teaching what a post-mortem is).

DSP fighting Vendrick is hilarious. "I play Street Fighter, Street Fighter needs more hand eye coordination than this!"
Talk about overly analytical. And not really comparable.
DXLelouch153

Thats because his sequelitis videos, particularly the MMX one, got way to much praise for how vapid and narrow its anaylsis was. Tried way to hard to apply SNES sidescoller standard to the entire medium. Its also not that surprising if you watch gamegrumps at all.

I think he played before the faith nerf. He got owned a lot and won through lightning tosses. Brace yourself. This isn't a link to his vid, but to someone's summary video. Skip to 3:27:40 if the timestamp doesn't work.
The Extra Credits guys are still doing pretty well.

I think this was a pretty good look at themeing in the Kingdom hearts series and how it fails somewhat at getting its message across and presenting it's ideas in a way that you are supposed to think about.

They got praise because people like Egoraptor. He's a charming guy and he has a pretty good voice for that type of thing, and if you find him funny those videos are pretty great. The actual critiques don't go as in depth as a lot of people would like, but not everyone is going to have thought about any of that stuff, so it's mainly for those people.

I won't argue that it's fucking in depth as shit, each review is like an hour or more, but imo it's the most reasonable, logical way to show your opinions on a game using objective information. You go through and form conclusions on each part of the game, which fit into a cohesive opinion on the game as a sum of it's parts.
It's not very comparable though, you're right.

Sometimes I really wish GG never became a thing because that exposed him to what he can really be like, and I really like him for his animations and humor before. Then again though if they hadn't done GG Jon wouldn't be as well known as he is now, as sad as that may sound.
DoktorEvil

Well, it was for his specific fanbase that loved his "take" of Mega Man X game design.
He read one design book and it made him think he could talk design. Jon did the same shit on grumps episodes too.
They both suck at it.
I wish I had that 30 minutes back from that preachy LTTP vs OoT video.

That's... Not accurate in the slightest. Jon was raking in viewers like mad before GG, and was a partner with Normal Boots for a while. He'd be in the same position he is now if he hadn't teamed up with Arin.

He just doesn't have any perspective. He measures everything based on the stuff he likes and not on its own merits.

What I appreciate with Matt, Woolie, and Liam is that they have cred.
They were QA guys. I'll take their critiques of games over anything Arin says.
Absolutely. You can always tell when Arin has his nostalgia glasses on.

Well in that case fuck what I said, someone go back and slap them when they suggested playing games with each other.
