No, you're not crazy or wrong. You wrote a concise criticism that was dismissed without any concrete counter. You didn't sign up for "The TwoBestFriends Markiplier Show" and you're allowed to voice that opinion and stand by it. Just because criticism might make someone upset doesn't somehow mean you're suddenly wrong. Criticism is good when it's valid.

Aww, I wouldn't go as far as saying Markplier, but yeah, it's a valid (and general also) criticism worded nicely - don't beat yourself up over it, dude.

Also something I forgot to mention, Woolie is avoiding Blazblue so hard that he brought out Vanguard Fuckin' (please don't) Princess first. Looking forward to Aquapazza, Shin Koihime Musou and IaMP next!

Yeah that was sorta harsh. It's more directed at the "greatest soldier in the world" "hey Yuri" etc.. injokes than Undertale really. But even that is lessening. I guess it was mostly a phase.

I remember the first time I played VP. Someone mentioned it as this anime-kinda-creepy game with some interesting mechanics and I thought "eh, it's probably about as bad as Arcana Heart, and that game is not THAT bad". So, since it was on a bundle with some cool SHMUPs, I picked it up and tweeted a joke about it. I got an immediate answer:

"Holy poo poo, Vanguard Princess, that game is creepy as gently caress, why would you play that?"

The guy that tweeted this plays Melty Blood (he's actually very good at it). He played SKM, some other questionable anime games, he gave Arcana Heart a chance...dude had some built-up anime resistance is what I'm saying. Vanguard Princess was too creepy for him. So...yeah. Vanguard Princess.

I think the MGSV LP isn't suffering from not letting things breathe, it's just the game giving them less to talk about than expected so they just...died for a while. Even Pat died, and that doesn't happen too often! I blame it on the game 100% because even playing by myself I had to push through some of the mid-late chapter 1 missions.

This. In their Let's Watch MGS4 video, the guys had TONS of stuff to talk and shoot poo poo about, even though Matt and Pat admitted they didn't like the game that much. MGSV is lackluster in this regard.

Yeah, it probably would have been the game that would have most benefited from editing/the classic clip show style treatment for episodes. Because when we do get to cool/lame moments, it's actually worth it most of the time.

For some reason I mixed up vanguard princess and valkyrie profile so I thought it was some anime soldier fighting game or something. I don't know what vanguard princess is but these reactions are really severe, so it'll probably be a trainwreck

I would be 100% on board with Smash Bros just having legendary video game characters. If they somehow got Master Chief in there or something similar, that'd be great. And the Samus x Master Chief fanart would never, ever end.

Al-Saqr posted:

This is something I've been noticing a lot in SBFP recently, in really tense and emotional moments in games there's an insistence by matt and the gang to keep talking over it with quips and catchphrases even when the game is trying to say or convey or show something central to the experience, which kind of gives a sense of dismissiveness that kills the moment or takes away from the viewers ability to really get a sense for the game, It makes me wonder whether they're actually experiencing the game or whether they're enjoying it or not. It makes the whole LP experience just feel in constant tempo rather than have the highs, lows or breaks needed to experience the games vicariously through SBFP. I remember the second I entered the new home segment I was in total silent 'oh poo poo' mode. it's not just undertale though, I'm noticing it as a general trend in SBFP, it's not as bad as game grumps, but I'm noticing it more and more, maybe I'm just crazy.
I just watched the part where they went through New Home, and I didn't get that impression one bit. Like, they weren't in SUPER SERIAL mode but they weren't yukkin' it up during the scripted story sequence aside from Liam saying "plot dump". And it is a plot dump. It's a particularly well-written, paced, and orchestrated one, but it's still a plot dump.

Yeah, neither did I. Ain't got much to criticize about Undertale other than please faster episodes.

I've still got the original psd I used to make the av because I have a folder with that stuff in it in case I gently caress it up and need to fix it or something. I have never had to do that but I'm sure the first time I upload my Jeff Gerstmann shrine avatar without keeping a version for editing something will be hosed up with it and I'll be out of luck. It's like less than 1 mb large so there's really no point in getting rid of it.

So's Vinny. So's Austin. So was Ryan. Alex is somewhat of A Jerk as well, and Dan has enjoyed being A Jerk with what limited exposure to Jerkiness he's had. Drew is a conundrum, but possibly A Jerk. And Rorie's like Alex in that regard. Brad...Brad is an Imposter Jerk.

I dunno, that sounds good to me. You get the freedom to gently caress around with the entire party and still have it count.
I heard they went full in on the P2W DLC though, which is sad since the previous game didn't have any at all.

Pat kind of puts it best: Okami is a trilogy, and the 2nd game is the best entry. The last one is still good though! Yami just isn't as good as Ninetails is all.

The Boss. The CEO. The J-Cup Lover.
Ever since that Ghost Detective game that I forget the name of (Pat and I at least) try to play games we give a poo poo about one way or another. For example, Ride to Hell Retribution we knew would be something stupid/special from the start in a negative standpoint. Then I really wanted to do Until Dawn because I had been looking forward to that FOREVER. Soma we kinda organically started playing, and thought it would make a decent LP. And the next LP we do is gonna be a small break from horror, that's a short dumb story mode for a big franchise that should be good for a laugh.

I think the last few games we've played on the channel that I really didn't give a poo poo about were Degenki Bunko Fighting Climax and X Tekken. I literally had nothing to say about them.
