I was introduced to them from some of their Machinima videos, and didn't really enjoy their videos that much.

Then I came across them again in that RP that C&I did of them where they mentioned C&I and I was like, "whoa, they actually know these guys? Maybe I underestimated them."

When their MGR:R LP came out and they almost immediately went to look at the moves in the HELP option of the game and actually started analyzing them to prepare for the game, I became a fan.

I'm still a horrible human being who doesn't like fighting/wrestling games, though, and nothing will ever change that.

Okay, so what happened, is that my mailman rang the door bell again (this also happened during the Destroy Man episode) I have to answer the door, sign for a package, (which took a full 5 mins) as soon as I unpause, a GIMP came flying at me, and killed me. I screamed.

I HAD to edit that out and restart the fight, I mean, what would you do? And like I stated several times before, I edited the hell out of this LP to begin with. It's not like I was trying to be sneaky. And I don't want to force people to sit through the entire fight again.

If you want me to be super truthful thought, that is the only time I die in this LP.

EDIT: I know about Thunder Ryu's ghost. I train with him in the next part.

Just wondering, are you gonna slow-down the fast-forwarded backstory of the final boss?

I think this really cements the fact we should probably stay away from long RPGs for the most part. There's so many things and variables to consider when playing, and the games are so long most people just loose interest.

So when's the DS1 LP coming, in that case?

I don't see the hate. I thought the general consensus was that if you could cheese a boss fight in a Souls game, go for it, cuz the games sure as hell won't go easy on you either.

All I saw was a true Souls boss strategy.

Yeah, it seems that with TellTale working on 3-4 different games at the same time, that quality is getting diluted, and it's showing. I mean, for all we know, they are putting all their best people on the Minecraft game because they really need to think hard about how to make a story from that.

I don't see this hurting anybody, and this kind of thing isn't exactly new. The only thing I'm worried about is if it's gonna affect the editing of the videos in any way, since they have to be prepped possibly earlier now. Not that I know the editing process of your videos or anything, but I can imagine it would add more stress to you guys to get videos ready even earlier.

But yeah, more power to you, Matt! Hope this works better than the site!

Yeah, no, trust me, even the tapes have little story in them. Some funny bits and geopolitical stuff like always, sure, but MGSV, as a whole, seems to be Kojima's reaction to "yo, have less cutscenes in your games and stuff!"

MGSV was meant to be the missing link in the series that tied PeaceWalker and the MGX games together. Like, how did BB become comatose, how did he set up Outer Heaven, how did he become this evil dude to the public, and what did all these characters (Ocelot, Miller, etc.) do before the MGX games? It's THE prequel to the first games of the series, but it feels more like a retcon of a retcon of a retcon most of the time, having played it.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of it, like Kid Mantis, but the rest is pretty blatantly just pasted in because Kojima doesn't really have anything else to say about warfare that he hasn't already. Child soldiers, nukes as deterrents, war-driven technological breakthroughs, perfect-soldier mass manufacturing, etc. has all been done by him, and it's all repeated in this game, at once.

All the weak points that TPP are the story and lack of characterization. Even open world games can have great bossfights and change things up from time-to-time, but without good pacing, strong story, and characters you don't really give a poo poo about for one reason or another, no one is going to really remember anything other than how dull the setpieces were. I can remember one interesting "boss fight," but that was it. The rest has been done over and over again across the series, but each game tried it's own spin on it.

But yeah, the controls and combat are the best in the series.

Really, the only reason I'm still playing it is so I can unlock Rechargeable Stealth Camo and gently caress around in outposts with it. Even that feels like a grind, though.
