I loved how it took him absolutely forever to make that, and it came out as the messiest, most slapdash thing ever.I wish I had that 30 minutes back from that preachy LTTP vs OoT video.
I do wish things had gone that way.He might have been bigger, since he might have just kept making videos.
Definitely. You said it better than I could.He just doesn't have any perspective. He measures everything based on the stuff he likes and not on its own merits.
He's reply to missus bull dreading the Errant a Signal video several posts back.You talking to me?
I never said such a thing.
ErrantSignal often focuses on a few aspects of the game and really like to bring cultural analysis into his videos. Also I'm not sure why you would think he'd hate on Alien. It wasnt a review but he seemed to appreciate much of the game.
You talking to me?
I never said such a thing.
Well in that case fuck what I said, someone go back and slap them when they suggested playing games with each other.
The first 5-6 LPs were pretty fun, but I'd take two or three Jontrons over all those 20 minutes of random nonsense a day.Because they were actually pretty entertaining when they started? It was a decent idea and the hot thing at the time.

You know what I've realized? I don't like game criticism at all. Partially due to my working as one, but mainly because it's just fucking opinions and everyone likes radically different things and people always want different things from those reviews to serve the things they care about in the games being reviewed.
So you think it was purely a business deal and less of a friendship?

Jon said that GG was the lowest point in his career. I believe him cause Ego sounds like a huge asshole

I talked to one guy who didn't like a Danganronpa review because the guy didn't reference the social implications of revealingsecret as just a twist in a case. Ignoring any other criticisms or points just because of that.Chihiro's
They were already friends playing games, I assume the decision to do GG was just because they realized it would be an easy way to make good money.

All criticism is generally opinions without anything to back it up. Reactions to games followed by reactions to those people's reactions are just fucking meaningless. That DOOM review where the guy says he wants to talk to the creatures and befriend them is a good example, games should be reviewed on their own merits, and the review structure is antithetical to that.You know what I've realized?

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.
I'm just glad Jon is back doing his own thing.

People also are rating games for different reasons. "Fun" is inherently subjective, and grading based on content like music and graphics doesn't really mean anything. Consumers want to know what to buy, reviews are just playing into a market.
(I will never stop pushing matthewmatosis, it's the most legitimate criticism I've ever seen bar none.)
Oh I think there is a lot of bad critiquing going on in the DkS 2 run right now, accusations of Woolie being DSP 2 notwithstanding lol

A lot of backseat gamers on the YouTube channel lol
Having said that, Woolie isn't getting GUD.
Plus he was in a Pepsi commercial how hype is that

Their recording method means that he gets rusty over the time they aren't recording and gasses out before the end of the session.
Didn't a pepsi rep ruin a gamejam he was in?
You mean media critique as in movies and books? Yeah it should be seperate, but it feels like many people treat them the exact same.Isn't media critique different from comprehensive game reviews?
.
Definitely, and you worded that perfectly. Nothing about games is simple enough to be boiled down like that, despite how hard people try. Reviews don't talk about anything remotely worthwhile 99% of the time.One of the problems with game criticism is that you're expected to sum up a 10-100 hour experience in a few pithy summations. In general, games are much longer than movies, and much more complicated than books, so they really need much longer criticisms if you want to actually be objective. Hence matthewmatosis being great. He takes the time. Not the only problem with game criticism, but one of the big ones imo.
Fo sho, it's subjective opinions derived from objective facts like a list. There's no correct answer, and I don't think somebody's opinion will ever be fully agreed upon. You show the exact same tiny chunk of a movie, game, or book to two different people and they'll have different opinions about it.Oh, I understand what it is, I mean, I did it for awhile, but I'm more talking about the critiques similar to Matthewmatosis (Which is the only one I do like) since they're just going super in depth and then someone is bound to make a huge list detailing how every point they made was wrong, which only makes it clearer that the whole thing is just subjective opinion and there's no point to any of it.
Alright super off topic, but for those of you who use sticks: Do you feel like you hit the buttons too hard or can you control yourselves? I handle the stick pretty well I think, I don't ram it into the sides when I make motions, but I always slap the buttons and I feel like I should get out of that habit and actually just hit them with my fingers.
BLACKOUT GOD tho.
He shouldn't wait so long in between sessions.
It'll result in the same nasty comments he's been getting so far.

I haven't been keeping up with Souls since he beat the main game, but from what I hear the DLCs are harder than the main game (at least the first one was). I think people are forgetting that.
I think I missed out on it but I wanted to add: Nagito is easily my favourite character in all of Danganronpa. He's just great.
People should play Danganronpa. I mean if you've got a Vita, get it. If you're getting a Vita, get them. I think they're games that you must have if you want or have Liam ownership.
YouTube fans have been giving him shit since iron keep. I'd ignore their patronizing comments.

That was mountain dew I think
Ah ok, I see your point now. I think the term review is much too associated with critique nowadays, it's easy and seen as insightful if you make a list of your problems. Plus it gets you much more popularity to be negative.A lot of these "review" videos/articles jump into critique and that's when you have shit like Polygon's 7/10 for Bayo 2.
There's a place for both, but I don't believe the two should mix. Judge a game on its technical merits/flaws and give a comprehensive pro/con list. Boom.
Reviewing games should not be this hard.
i have nothing to add, but agree.
Same actually, the loading times being shit I'm not looking forward too though. I'm too spoiled by my PC.I'm seriously considering spending money on Deadly Premonition PS3. I really want to play it because I'm actually loving what I've played. Man fuck the PC version.
I make my stick my bitch.
I usually never use sticks, but when I do I jam the buttons like a madman.
Mountain Dew is Pepsi.

Don't let Shin Pat hear you.Also I suddenly don't want to drink Pepsi anymore.I'm still going to
Damn straight, you want to feel the heft of the stick remaining stable despite the beatings. Also I'm pretty sure people in other rooms can hear me super clearly when I'm practicing and I'm always self conscious that it's annoyingI feel like they should be slapped. It feels really good when slamming buttons on a stick, so I usually hit hard and let my fingers recoil back into place.
Does he like Pepsi? I'm not sure what the Zaibatsu's standing on the coke pepsi wars are.Don't let Shin Pat hear you.
ok guys its official
after much deliberation and realizing the WiiU has more games i currently care about compared to just FF Type 0 and Bloodbourne
im getting a WiiU for Christmas and a PS4 for my Birthday
Mexican Coke > Mountain Dew > Every other soda.
