I'm sure making videos and dealing with commenters makes it worse too. Also there are probably people who message just to send "Why the gently caress did you do X I didn't do that on my first time I didn't even get hit" and I bet that gets tiring over time.

My favorite dark souls thing is people talking about shields, a central gameplay aspect, being a crutch and you're a scrub if you use such weak-rear end moves like blocking.

Exactly this. So many people were trying to backseat game 'Beef during the entire LP, and making sure he doesn't miss a single thing. I don't know why, because Dark Souls encourages multiple playthroughs. The comments about the lore, though...seriously? I think a point was proven with the last video, though: It's the most disliked video in the playthrough. I think the fanbase worries that LPers won't enjoy the game if they don't know where everything is, or can't find the obscure lore, because I've seen a few Dark Souls LPs on YouTube with the comment section being nothing but backseat gamers. Lazyfire posted:That time he got stabbed by the sentinel through the fog door and then one shotted while stun locked by Orenstien was one of those funny design and level layout quirks that people proceeded to say was his fault and not a problem with the game at all because the game is perfect. Still can't get over how upset people were over one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen Dark Souls related. SnakemanNm posted:Well, I have come bearing the answer.

Dark Souls 2 has the new game stat, Adaptability, that increases things like how fast you drink Estus or how well you roll. The amount of times I've seen people call it a useless stat because those things are a crutch makes my head hurt.

Minecraft videos are peaceful to me. It's more like watching a podcast with something shiny to keep my eyes busy. Needless to say "farts farts rape your mother loving gently caress" ruins said experience somewhat so I avoid channels like that:

Dave_O's Minecraft videos are still among my favorites to watch. It's just so many go for the fast-paced non-stop wacky commentary that really go against what Minecraft is all about. If only Bob Ross was still around to make a Minecraft LP.

Stamina is a crutch if you manage it perfectly! Str and Dex are crutches, because better weapons and damage are useless if you play perfectly! Basically if you're not SL1 you might as well not play because you're not good enough for this perfect game series.

RSCNyx posted:I'll never understand why Minecraft channels like this are so popular. Plenty of these videos have millions of views. But I just had to link this HarryAndJerry channel because it isn't even any of that. It's somehow this odd trade-off between video editing effort (because there is definitely more effort applied to the editing phase, compared to most "average" Minecraft videos), and in-game effort (they aren't even playing the game normally, just setting up little scenes and props and using them to perpetuate the cold, hard truth that you can make insane amounts of ad revenue with fart jokes being an essential staple to your channel content). Even when it comes to their most popular series, the "video games in Minecraft", the jokes aren't even original most of the time. In one of those particular videos, they featured The Sims, and it was a very short clip poking fun at the fact that Sims can't leave swimming pools without a ladder. That joke's been known and overdone since the early 2000s, when the first game was released. And their "Final Fantasy" skit? It didn't even have anything to do with the game's mechanics or style as a whole, it just showed one of the players turning around in front of a zombie and crouching, then they edited in a fart (big surprise) and the battle victory music. But, of course, just mentioning Final Fantasy and throwing in that much-needed kiddie "humor" is more than enough to net you over a million views. The "Famous Youtuber" scene is nothing more than a large group of younger (and a few older) adults perpetuating the retardation of today's youth for the sole purpose of getting absurd amounts of money, with really awful content. To quote Bill Hicks, "When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children?"

It's basically virtual Lego so it's not too surprising I think. Every week we all go to my in-law's for dinner and since I gave my nephew a laptop with Minecraft on it we've had to institute a ban on talking about Minecraft at the dinner table. He won't stop talking about it, and he's a chatty kid to start with. Something about the game just clicks with the kid and he will sit quietly and watch his dad scoop up lava for a moat for hours on end and report back like it was the most important event of his life. His playtime with it is limited by his mom, but he has about 100 times more fun just tooling around in that than I ever did. I think the simplicity of the game is the big selling point. Like any kid with the dexterity to use a KB/M will be able to get some joy out of the thing, even if they aren't great at it. In other Minecraft news: Mojang is going to change EULA stuff to try and stop server owners from doing a "donations for perks" scheme. Normally I wouldn't post this here, but Mojang specifically calls out Woodycraft, run by declining-fame YouTube superstar WoodysGamertag. Woody started as a Call of Duty guy, but started doing a Podcast which is his big money maker now and does occasional videos, heavily featuring his PvP Minecraft server, the aforementioned and creatively named WoodyCraft. Woody's got one of the weirder histories out there. He was making decent money as a software engineer of some sort when he quit his job to YouTube full time, is often accused of exploiting his autistic son for attention and sympathy and once had a deal with Netflix where he streamed his family watching movies on Netflix while his son humped the family dog because that's how you do that.

I wonder if Lego videos on YouTube would have been popular if it was around in the late 80's-early 90's. But then I s'pose it wouldn't have the flair of being an FPS to make it not as childish.

Hell, even goons go into a frothing rage, they had to actually say "No darksouls" in the old pyf dragging this game down thread cause whenever a goon thought something was terrible 10 other goons would rush to the thread telling him how poo poo he was and how the game is flawless.

Wow it took two seconds to find a example of Dark Souls fans vs Slowbeef. From Reddit An asshat posted:Yes Yes Yes Yes. Also, the amount of stupidity in this picture is so high it was most likely done intentionally. Crazy poo poo like that doesn't actually happen in the game. You will never die out of nowhere in Dark Souls. You only die because you screwed up. The bosses and enemies really aren't close to being impossible, provided you take them slowly and watch their attacks. The reason this game appears so difficult to many is that they try and fight carelessly like they would in Skyrim or something. A dude literally smacked him in the back from behind a fog door. That's the game falling into "bullshit" country and not the players fault.
