It's a decent game that doesn't really bring much new to the table.

I'll say that I really enjoy this run's cast, but the game isn't keeping me interested. I played through it some time ago and enjoyed it, but it's not grabbing my interest as a speed run.

If Origins had come before City it would have been received a lot better.

It was a poorly rushed third game by a different studio thats basically "what if we just made the second game, but made it worse?". It came out of the whole last generation lasting 2 years longer than thought so they just needed anything to fill the release schedule

He and the commentator hated on it and then people complained so the next time they ran it, they sarcastically praised it the entire time

This is mostly because they're not capable of being actually funny and go with whatever gets audience reactions instead

I really dislike when runners try to crack wise about video game logic. It's never ever funny and I hate it every time. The runner just did it, trying to be a smartass about how the security gates in a museum used passwords like "JURASSIC." Like, fuckhead, it's a video game.

If he'd skip one joke in 4 he'd being rocking this. As it is it's still an enjoyable run, just a bit strained in places.

fake edit: maybe 2 jokes in 4.

see you tomorrow

It's low-hanging fruit, but I don't think it's annoying. What else do you want him to talk about instead?

It's easier to say "there is usually a shark in here but we are going to glide over the trigger that would spawn it" than it is to do:

"So someone on the internet keeps trying to convince me there's a shark in here!"
"What? I've never seen a shark in this room."
"And apparently there's a trigger here that spawns a supposed shark, although I've never seen it."
