Honestly opinions like this register pretty low with me when I rate Let's Players, I mostly don't like Liam because he comes off as a lot duller and less knowledgeable of pop culture than the other three. The Liam is a weeaboo and lolicon jokes are pretty old too.

>>193485
Liam brings the youthful energy and the sass to the the group, he is the sauciest.

Also the secret joke is that Pat and Woolie are much bigger weebs than him.

Drew Scanlon - Professional sneaksman

It's Culex time.

Do all french people write like this? //youtube.com/watch?v=7XZ7-wFLnfI

or did David Cage write this under an assumed name?

>>193499
How is it in any way similar to David Cage? You don't like either so that means that they're the same?

>>193502
Its almost beat for beat a similar bag of artsy to edgy nonsense. If they had switched to a Male Protag then it would be Indigo 2

Am I the only one who thinks Liam looks a lot like Finn Jones?

>>193503

There are female characters onscreen who aren't about to be raped, this can't be a David Cage game.

More seriously: The dialogue is nothing like a David Cage script (it's a little questionable in places but not in the same way), and even if it was, the dialogue isn't even the problem with David Cage's writing. David Cage can write an individual scene decently enough, so long as nobody's trying to get laid in it. Cage's problem is that he's incapable of stringing those scenes together into a story that isn't pants-on-head retarded.

>>193506
Cage doesn't write scenes based around the story, he strings his stories based around otherwise unrelated scenes.

Y'know, there's a reason why non-vidya people think players are artistically immature.

>>193510
I've seen the weirdest hateboners over this game. On another forum I came across a guy recommending no one buy it and expressing confusion why so many reviewers liked "this pretentious hipster shit". I had to point out that it was probably because these outfits didn't consider "FUCKING HIPSTERS" to be the be-all and end-all of aesthetic criticism. I mean, if Life Is Strange's cultural touchstones fill you with incandescent rage then no duh you're going to hate it. It's not for you. And, y'know, that's fine! God knows there's a million things I'd rather do than sit through a screening of the Three Colours Trilogy with my popcorn and a cup of Fanta, but I'm hardly going to waste time shooing people away from the cinema just because it's not my thing.

I for one am shocked that Internet nerds hate a thing about teenagers with a female lead.

It's a multiplayer CK2 thread, where all players are playing electors of the HRE (the empire of Italia has been cut and the dejure territory added to the HRE so we can have more voters). I'm playing Saxony, and apparently 5 people are going to each play a merchant house in Genoa, it's gonna be a hell of a party. Think I'll try and go Germanic so I can rampage around the North lining my pockets and bribing my fellow electors (who, of course, are sacrosanct and safe from my aggression). And even if I don't convert, the Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes are easy prey for an armed and aggressive Saxony.

In some ways it's pretty amazing that Drew made it this far through the series without knowing some of their most basic mechanics. Not sure if Dan or just the pressure to perform for an audience is to blame for this.

Watching Liam play Hotline Miami 2 is goddamn exhilarating. He's a fucking killing machine.

Never having played the MGS series past the first one, I had to look up what Dan was so weird about and OH MY GOD. Kojima you fucking crazyperson.

>sees entrance to the upper left, comments that that's where he needs to go
>after using the cannon to get up there, runs to the right

Arin is so aggressively unintelligent it hurts. Don't give me the "they're playing while talking" excuse, the only way to play this terribly is if you're not looking at the screen half the time.

The best part of the Sonic gifs thing was when Woolie finally broke and started laughing at it too.

Liam's podcast title line really was the highlight though.

Game Grumps post-Jon has never been entertaining or funny. I fail to understand what people see in it.

>>194398
Dan is alright. He's not nearly as funny as Jon and has a bad tendency to spam unfunny jokes/memes because "hurr maybe it'll become funny if I repeat it enough times like Family Guy" and he can't come up with anything witty, but he has a lot of heart despite it all.

>>194398
Pretentious Idiot & Stoner can be enjoyable sometimes (usually when playing NES games) and it's not like Pretentious Idiot & Loud Idiot were ever the height of entertainment.

Ross however is basically the worst of all three combined with no redeeming factors at all and drags down every episode he's in.

>>194402
personally I prefer the gameshow games and mario parties

and hey no matter what, nothing can ever be as joyless as a session where Suzie is involved. She just tries to constantly dominate the flow of conversation and generally just isn't very funny to me. Rather than keeping things flowing she tries to jerk the conversation around and control it rather than let it be organic.

>>194399
I actually like Dan a LOT more than Jon, Jon and Arin were all about escalation into just horrendous screaming sometimes, Grumps is more fun for me personally now and while both end up screaming sometimes Dan adds a lot of much needed focus for the show like how you can hear him say things like, c'mon Arin let's at least accomplish SOMETHING this episode."

Plus being from a much older generation of gamer than even Arin his "caveman in the modern day" reactions are great, listening to him see Bloodborne without even knowing what it is is fantastic.

>>194401
Ross is so terrible, but at least they've corralled him in his own easily avoidable corner, there are times he's amazing though, like when he's being deadpan serious, he's not funny at all but when serious he has a lot of interesting insight.

>>194443
This. I personally find Danny great not just as a Lets player in his environment, but he's really good at reeling in Arin's own bad habits when playing. He's really funny and nice so that's just pleasant to listen to. And frankly I was personally starting to dislike Jon at the end there - where Danny now makes the show more LP-y (inciting conversation where there otherwise would be just railing on a game's mechanics), Jon used to be a louder less focused Arin.

But that's just my opinion!

>there are times he's amazing though,...
As an artist/animator, I found Toon Grumps to be absolutely amazing and wonderful, to the point where I've listened to it a couple of times more since it came out. Arin himself did a huge 180° and when you get him talking about business and animation, not only is he serious as hell, he's actually really insightful - its great to hear him talk art on the main grumps show too!

>>194406
And speak of the devil they're playing the new Mario party and Susie whines her way into picking the board they play.

Also the more I watch and hear about Ross the more I realize we're nearly the same person.

Jonny vs Cassie

>"Take it easy on the face"

>do the Failtality

HA HA HA HA

>>194462
I think the differing personalities play off eachother well.

>>194471
Yea I like Steam Train and the sense of wonder that is shared in some games. Also Dan being chill during vs makes then tolerable. Always root for Dan.

I think I prefer when Game Grumps was just two guys playing video games and editing it, not 5 guys plus a girl making a business out of it. You may think that makes me a hipster, but the casual environment that makes the Let's Play concept so great is lost when you start making legal contracts and PR agents. It's gotten to the point where it's obvious they care nothing about their fans and are only doing this for money, and whether it's still entertaining or not, it's uncomfortable for me to watch knowing that.

>>194479
What's your opinion on Two Best Friends then?

>>194480
Same deal. But unlike Arin, TBF haven't openly called their fans mindless drones who will support them no matter what they do.

>>194481

Personally I don't see anything wrong with Let's Player's getting real jobs in the industry. Provided it's an actual job involved in development and not just "play our game so it sells".

>>194784
My problem was that I don't like JonTron much. Nothing to do with is Let's Player status.

>>194785
What's it feel like to have horrible taste?

>>194787
He's entitled to his opinion, but I will say that Jon, of all the "lets players" out there has easily the best production values for his show and as a result due to the scripted nature of things it feels better and more polished.

I'd actually not classify him as a lets player at all, but more of a reviewer and even on that note he stands head and shoulders above most.

Sure his writing and delivery can fall a little flat, and he may resort to some tired tropes, but I still find him quite a bit more entertaining than most.

>>194790
If it's over the stuff he's said outside of his videos, well, whatever. I've learned to stop obsessing over people like that for my own sanity's sake, lest I end up like my friend who fell off the slippery slope and spends all his time quotemining people or gets outraged whenever anyone says something bad about Kotaku/Polygon whatsoever because apparently political conservatism is the only reason they could ever dislike anything by them. Goddamn horseshoe theory.

>>194798
>If it's over the stuff he's said outside of his videos,

That would be it. Lost respect for him when he tweeted that Plebcomic.

>>194799
Funny. That's when I started to really respect him.
Crazy world.

>>194799
Chances are he was just looking for sympathetic confirmation bias in his moments of babby weakness, as opposed to it being a smoking gun that he's a staunch right-winger or secretly believes that black people/women/Jews/gays are an inferior group, as those people have been claiming about him (or "Arin the Tea Partyer"), but whatever.

>and the woman who makes them is an asshole who tried (and failed) to get Sarkeesian arrested by sending her CP.
Wait, what? I know her. She wouldn't do that. Like, this is a rumour, isn't it.

Yes, I hate that following she's gained that encourage and enable her shitty habits and fuckin dumb comics but there's no fuckin way she'd do that.

>>194804
At the least, some of her fellow anti-SJWs who I originally started following back in quieter times before I realized how toxic everything was were crediting her with it and asking people to support her or send sympathy so for all I know it could be a whole cycle of shit.

Chip Cheezum's Let's Play of Watch Dogs is teaching me that super serious stories and open world games that let the player do unintentionally goofy shit don't always mesh.

Good episode. Surprised by how far Dan's fear of sharks goes.

>>194836
>good start

Way too generous on that one buddy. This video is far from a good JonTron's league.

There's 5 minutes of skit featuring rapid fire Jon-isms (which makes them lose their charm) and predictable Star Wars gags (equivalents of foul mouth Mario for instance) in a 10 minute video. Roughly 50 seconds per game afterwards allowing for about 1 screen of the game in action (sometimes 2!) and less than 5 comments for the "review" before slapping in the next one and repeating. Your gif is tied for best thing in the video (with fake Jacques being destroyed) and it's a 3 second joke about mismatched facial expression and voice intonation.

Not a strong start in the least. Disney's Polaris Maker Studios is gonna need to kick it up for the proceeding entries if they want this marketing ploy to be successful.

Set, editing, costumes, props, etc were all great though. Obvious there was some ad department money from the Mouse trickling down into the project.

>>194838
They where Atari games. There's really not much to show and tell about them.

I'll agree that it wasn't the strongest JonTron, but this looks like this one will be stronger as the sum of it's parts.

>>194841
Ya, there's no doubt it'll improve as it goes on.
The question is will it be a weekly or monthly series?
No way it'll be every few days.

>>194842
Unless they shot it all beforehand.

>>194836
They got Kyle Hebert to do Vader. Neat.

>>194843
With how long it has been since his last full video plus his update status video... and all those shots in the promo, I'd say it's safe to say at least 3 episodes have all been filmed thus far.

>>194839
There's a point to that, though. It's like giving a Sandler comedy a $70 Million Dollar budget and... well I mean, its like a Sandler comedy SHOWING that budget. There's a point where its inappropriate to get something across. You don't need crane or dolly shots in a Jontron video. In fact, the funniest JT gag I've ever seen was a floating SNES cartridge by a string and a stick.

But eh. I'm all for them spending money. I hope production values go up.

...

that WAS a shit video, though.

Listen to the podcast

Someone needs to tell Pat and Woolie that it's OK to pump stats that aren't Vitality.

Also, Slowbeef is suffering his way through Sonic 2006 for the first time. He apparently doesn't know about the final chapter that comes after you beat the other three.

>>194930
>Someone needs to tell Pat and Woolie that it's OK to pump stats that aren't Vitality.

The Hunter's Axe is pretty much their main weapon, and Strength only adds about 2% of the base damage per point below the first softcap (25; they're at 20) and 1% after that. Its Skill scaling is about half that. So long as they don't keep doing it way past the first Vitality softcap (which they're one point below), it's not really a huge difference.

>>194931
A 10% damage increase isn't insignificant at all. Especially because that damage increase then additionally gets amplified by the blood gems.

>>194933
10% of base damage. It's at 210 now, and five Strength points would take up to about 226 (yes, I know the actual damage difference can be bigger depending on the move). That will make a difference about as often as the ~20% HP increase the last five levels of Vitality gave them.

Point is, the stats are balanced enough that this kind of min-maxing is far from critical. It's an action RPG, how they're actually fighting is way more important.

It's not what they pulled out of the box, but was Akuji the Heartless really that bad?

That shitstorm over Giant Bomb's Black Mesa video is utterly amazing and depressing at the same time.

Pat is pushed to the extreme by Martyr Logarius.

Holy. Shit.

They dug DEEP for this.

Funny enough, then we get a video with pat pushed in the opposite direction.

>>195220
Why did the heads suddenly get so much bigger?

>>195222
They changed the setting/put the in cheat somewhere between cuts. "Big head mode" is a very common joke setting, though it's somewhat less popular now.

>>195229
Mostly from the PS1/Saturn/N64 days, though a few continued to do it in the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era. Not sure if people even bother doing it anymore.

>>195230

It wasn’t as popular/widespread back then as it was in the PS1/Saturn/N64 generation, but Big Head Mode stretches back to at least the days of NBA Jam.

>>195230
Cheat codes Don t really exist any more. If a game were to add a big head mode today, you could bet your ass it would be paid DLC.

Pat spreading hot Superman Truths in this podcast.

>>195251
It makes me so tired that so many people are so stupid.

>>195253
Yeah it was tiring to hear Matt and Woolie push the LIE of runs being the same thing as a proper series.

It was just a dumb conversation by people being willfully unreasonable about an industry that they don't understand at all.

>>195255
You're talking about Matt and manga right

>>195256
I'm talking about all four of them and anything that is comics or manga.

I've actually found myself enjoying listing to podcasts more than lestplays now. Specifically Fantasy Fiction and Goosebuds.

The true Cowardborne starts now!

>>195251
Pat hates Superman because - much like Lex Luthor - he's a selfish, insecure coward. He also hates him for the same reasons he likes Yu Narukami, who actually is a Mary Sue.

>>195265
Nobody who isn't a fanfic character is a Mary Sue.

As for Superman, I feel like that character of the archetype super you're supposed to live up to is done a lot better by Cap, who while obviously no less unstoppable than pretty much any superhero at least has the ILLUSION of not being invincible. And for big flying dudes that hit people there's Goku. The only time I've EVER liked Superman is in the Bruce Tim stuff, and aside of Static, Superman's series is still the weakest part of that.
>>195263

That's the correct way to handle Yahargul frankly.

>>195266
Goddamn this is some tired, stupid shit.

Rodyle, literally everyone has heard everything you just said and pointed out the endless errors with it, but people like you who say that nonsense like Pat literally punctuate it with "I will never try to understand and I'll always hate it unreasonably."

So what do you want? A cookie? Congratulations you hate a character.

>>195266
Confirmed for not reading Alan Moore Supes.

>>195270
Well no. I mostly don't read superhero comics anymore outside of the odd Hellboy.

>>195267
Christ Tiki, calm down.

>>195271
Then you're not really in a position to complain about Superman.

>>195271
I'm not mad, it's just that's a REALLY stupid thing to say, especially punctuated with the fact you don't actually read comics.

>>195272
This is what everyone says about someone not reading X run of Y character.

>>195274
Because everytime they say it is just as dumb as the last time they said it, somebody mentioned Yu Narakami being a mary sue in this thread, I don't watch or read or play Persona anything, I think he's the grey guy.

Now because somebody called him a mary sue and I've had marginal exposure to the game through internet ravings and spin off stuff like dancing all night because of friends, does that put me in a position to call that character anything? No. That would be REALLY fucking dumb.

>>195274
Think of it this way, it's like calling Shirou Emiya a misogynist and a Mary Sue or a moron because they only watched the DEEN anime without actually knowing anything about Unlimited Blade Works or Heaven's Feel.

>>195273
>>195275
I don't read them NOW. I USED TO read them. And watch the animated stuff and what not. I don't hate Supes like Pat does, he's just always been sort of boring that for that particular archetype I think even superhero comics in general have better examples. Do I have to either love the character or despite him, and do I have to continuously immerse myself in every single scrap of new material to make my opinion not "stupid?"
>>195276
Not me champ. Also FSN is one game, not a character based between decades worth of different artists and materials, the scale is different. I am not denying that SOMEWHERE in the morass there is stuff I'd love (I like What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way even if I hate typing the title), I am saying the he lacks the hook for me to dig through that nightmarishly high amount of material. Maybe one day I will read Red Son or whatever the commieverse one is called.

Though on the note of TM, Nasu and Takeuchi say they want the Nasuverse to be Japanese Marvel and I don't know if I want that kind of artist devouring superverse to rise in Japan.

Also Geop ACTUALLY got scared by a shadow in Wind Waker

>>195277
Fate/Grand Order indicates a more Kancolle/Queen's Blade direction with a lot of the recent designs and needless shark-jumping genderbends. I already thought Apocrypha was bad enough with a lot of its more otaku-pandering designs.

>>195281
Tiki, I made a joke about a part of the podcast I found funny, that being the Angriest Pat Power Hour. You decided to take it ultra seriously for whatever reason. I am not going to take Superman from you. And neither, for that matter, are they.
>>195280
Well GO at the end of the day is just some mobile game, it's not ever going to be the main focus, so I'm not worried about that. I also wasn't referring to artstyle, one of them literally said in an interview that they'd like for the Nasuverse to just be this base setting for others to write in, like Urobuchi, Narita, and others already have, so that TM can be Japanese marvel.

//youtube.com/watch?v=tAkMep6uktY
Well that was one hell of an ending. David Cage should take notes.

>>195309
You can actually see the wheelchair ramp at the door before the big twist is revealed. Nice attention to detail.

Spider-Tank looks like a fun diversion. Too bad it's stuck with Watch Dogs.

It's time for the "comments whining about furries or whining about the whining about furries" rigmarole.

Meanwhile, the game is awesome and has great music and charm. I do think Liam is going through it slightly too quickly and they're not noticing the aforementioned music. Still, good choice for a playthrough.

The game looks way less terrible than you would expect from a sonic fangame, but that title card they're using is asking for trouble.

>>195356
Well it is made by Crankyconstruct.

In which Pat does battle with his greatest nemesis: heights.

>>195362
He spent most of the first episode of the new Mario golf series talking about how much he likes fat.
After now having watched grumps in a month due to my schedule that episode made me realize that I may have well and truly outgrown it.

I recently just finished this area and it is indeed a pain in the ass, with everyone coming back to life. Didn't actually make the connection that the woman with the bell was responsible for the act. Next episode should be an interesting one, with the upcoming three-way battle with the Hunters.

Moving on to Steam Rolled.

Jeff has a lot of bottled up feelings about Postal.

Jeff has a lot of deep grudges. The man still sits vigilant, waiting for the day when someone will next try to say positive things about Nights.

Woolie decided that Saturday Morning Scrublords had too much quality for his tastes and dug up this thing.
