I loving wish Woolie would give up on LPs, he seems to exclusively pick the exact kinds of games he shouldn't be playing.

I noticed that the facial animations in his Mass Effect 1 Lets Play look weird. Is that a result of the Legendary Edition? Kaiden's little side grin he does is a lot less pronounced.

Shorter games, games that don't constantly provide him with excuses to not do anything for extended periods of time, shorter games, linear games, shorter games, games that don't invite the expectation that he has to play an entire series, shorter games, shorter games

Disagreed massively with this. The games that he chose to play on stream is fine with me. Also, the way you post in this thread is like Woolie/Matt/Pat personally wronged you or something. Just continue to ignore them, dude. You said you stopped caring about their content years ago.

That's fine and I would be lying if I said I never got frustrated watching Woolie play a game. I remember that Fire Emblem Three Houses video from years ago being rough because he didn't pay attention to the extremely basic tutorial, IIRC.

Also he LPs plenty of shorter games. Dead Space, Sifu, Silent Hill 1 & 2, Superliminal, and that's just me glancing down his list of recent playlists.

I think ME2 has actually been pretty good, albeit with the caveat of it being a second screen game so I end up just ignoring Inventory Time.

e: that one time he and Reggie got super hung up on krogan reproduction rates was classic Shut Up And Play though

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Mass Effect 1 and 2 are also pretty dang short. You can clear Mass Effect 1 in like 20-30 hours depending on how many sidequests you care about doing (most are boring don't matter.) ME2 has more DLC to pad the run time but for a shooty, talky RPG thing it's still remarkably short. Never finished 3 but I can't imagine it's any longer than 2.

It's not like he's diving into a Pillars of Eternity run or a JRPG every other month.

Woolie has always been a big "watch on the side" LP channel for me so how long or short the game he plays hasn't mattered to much to me. The only LP that I couldn't handle was 13 Sentinels cause half the VN section videos were more discussion than playing the game when I just wanted them to finish a VN section before going crazy corkboard theory crafting. :lol:

Besides it is the most on brand thing ever that Woolie's Elden Ring save was like 999 hours.

That said Dead Space has definitely been the most I've paid attention to one of his LPs recently rather than it just being a thing to have on as I do something else, it's just a good LP game.

maybe the issue here isn't the length of the games he's playing but him not actually playing the games he's playing. I mean certainly there is a % of his audience that enjoy the pausing but at the same time if I were the streamer I would think it would be just not very respectful of the audience's time to allow such unpredictable & disproportionately huge gaps in time between things happening. just spitballing here don't roast my rear end :kiddo:

Woolie is going to lose his mind when he gets the Normandy Crew turned to paste by scraping the galaxy clean of content after they get kidnapped, as he won't know you are on a very strict timer from that point on to save them.

So it'll be worth watching that sequence later on.

Tbh my one worry with the ME2 LP is whether or not he peeks or Pat or someone he trusts tells him how to avoid all the worst Bad End sequences because he's worried about any fan favorite people not being there for the final game.

He seems to want to have a pure experience as possible but the suicide mission is near guaranteed to have his chat falling over itself with hints and tips on what to do/say, as well as Pat, as mentioned.

Exactly. I already watched the 100% optimal playthrough with Pat last year. Now I want to see the weird gently caress up playthrough with Reggie and Woolie.

I'd like Reggie and Woolie to see as much Good ME3 as possible so I'd be fine with them being guided toward a non-massacre ME2 ending rather than wanting them to get Tali and others iced

although actually what will probably happen is they'll get through it however and then just clean things up via save, like Giant Bomb did for Mass Alex

someone is either going to tell him in advance or he's going to redo the ending to fix it

Because you brought it up, dude. And like I said, I do get sometimes frustrated, keyword sometimes but most of the time, I would say over 90% of the time, the way Woolie and Reggie play games is completely fine.

Nuns with Guns

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
On a practical level, the only things that are very possible are the Normandy crew turning into Reaper chum because of the time trigger, and Mordin dying at that point in the suicide mission where it's running background numbers and kills anyone with a defense score below an arbitrary total. Mordin almost never has stats high enough to survive.

Woolie's already hacking in enough resources to upgrade the Normandy, so he should be able to get the ship upgrades needed to avoid killing anyone. He might overthink or let the game trick him on some of the suicide mission calls, but they're basic obvious choices for each option. I'm sure that part will be amusing to watch if he stays blind for it in any case.

It took Woolie 120 hours of mass effect to realize options on the right of the dialogue wheel end conversation so.....

This is a baffling thing to post since I was not the person to bring it up, I was throwing in my two cents on some criticism I saw, and it was discussed the entire half previous page and you're also agreeing with my assessment of a split % of the audience's enjoyment of it idk what you think I'm saying
