I'll just describe everything that happens in the game for a few hours...
mario jumps
but did you think about how there is also platforms and how that jump effects your ability to jump onto the platforms
He definitely does do some analysis here and there but it's still some high school tier shit when everyone is given essays and half the class just tries to bullshit their way through the assignment by retelling the plot.
I'll keep saying it over and over, JA is a MUCH better streamer than he is a youtuber/essayist/whatever the fuck he is
THE TOWN
t-t-t-t-town make him stoopid?
"This game's moral choices make you feel like you're on Twitter. It's not good to pick a side and it's not good to say nothing either!"
>It has been [0] days since OP was mad at someone critiquing a Nintendo title

Why is this line in every witcher review?
Video game analysis is absolutely cringe as fuck.
Post his bounty hunter book
>explains the story and why its good
>explains mechanics
what else do you want
if its too long then just ignore it
ITT: Basedtendo fans STILL seething over this man ripping Bing Bing Wahoo a new asshole
>Haha ur guize ar just angry dragon dude is smurt
I like how you retards pretend to be above everyone else with your shit opinions yet can't handle other people talking shit about your favorite highschool essay writer.
I know you visit these threads JA, so im just gonna tell you
THE TOWN IS MAKING HIM STUPID
>JA is a MUCH better streamer
Funny enough that's the exact opposite of my experience, I can't stand it when he grinds the game to a halt to complain about some inane shit that gets explained later on.
>THE TOWN IS MAKING HIM STUPID
Have you ever considered that he's right about it though and Silent Hill 2 is just a poorly written mess that got memed into being good, because videogames have bad stories by default?
>JA is a MUCH better streamer than he is a youtuber/essayist/whatever the fuck he is
youtube.com
No he's not
He appeals so hard to brainlets that think LONG VIDEO = DEEP. When you really break down what he's saying it's shallow as fuck and could be condensed into like, 10 minutes tops
Came here to post this
That might be worth considering if he wasn't the guy who praised SOMA for its story despite the main character completely ignoring extremely obvious and noteworthy events under the guise of confusion for the sake of a shitty "twist".
>I'll just describe everything that happens in the game for a few hours
At least he somewhat provides analysis. Pic related is literally:
>and then I did this and then I did that and then I did thus which I wasn't a big fan of
Worst fucking format I've ever seen.
No? Repressed memories isn't some far out concept that requires suspension of disbelief or anything. It's pretty easy to grasp. The most confusing or ambigious elements of the game is the symbolism, but even then it's easy to get your head round it all by just doing a quick Google search, having conversations about it, or - and this is a stretch for Joseph Anderson - reflecting on the game
Flurry Rush has weird activation windows and seems overly restrictive.
What kind of manchild watches videogame analysis anyway?
Who the fuck watches this shit?

>if i just keep repeating the same point over and over it means i am being in depth and analytical
Is that the retard that couldnt do some basic stuff in mario odyssey?
Exactly! You see the exact same shit with movies reviews on youtube. They just describe everything. It's not criticism
>the analysis and judgement of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work
In other words real criticism doesn't have to be lengthy. A video could be anything from 1 minute long to 20 minutes and give you a great idea of the merits of the work
I wish this guy would upload more often simply so I could read more assblasted posts from matthewphimosis fans every time it happens, like clockwork
someone post the webm
>lol look at this brainlet making 4 hour long videos
>HAAHAHA SEEEEETHING FANS OF SOME OTHER YOUTUBER
???
youtube.com
this
and then you say that he's just shit and mad and trying to leave a bad review under the pretense of being analytical and he gets even madder
Repressed memories don't work in any shape or form like it does in the game.
>The most confusing or ambigious elements of the game is the symbolism, but even then it's easy to get your head round it all by just doing a quick Google search, having conversations about it
Then the game failed at conveying the meaning and deserved the criticism.
I listened to it in the background after returning from work. In era where people can binge watch seasons of their shit on netflix/hbo/amazon or whatever 4h ain't that much
How do you miss the mark that bad? Just continue the pattern you did to get to the cactus and you should be fine.
>4h ain't that much
It's not about the time. He spends the first 10 minutes rambling. That's why all his dumb videos are so long
I'm listening to it as i'm working from home right now, sometimes i alt tab if he talks about something on the screen
This is how you do a long form videogames analysis.
youtu.be
Not a single Word is wasted
>That video about Obra Dinn where he brags about brute forcing trough the game
Tom O Regan is great. Reminds me of the Infinite Review.
>what else is there to analysis than explaining what happens
C+, see me after class
thats not true
i checked
Yep. You're just assblasted that you don't have the attention span to enjoy actual reviews.
I'm not mad at anything I'm enjoying laughing at a dumbass who thinks describing everything for 4 hours makes him analytical
>right from the Great Plateau goes to fight a Lynel
>gets assblasted that he can't kill one of the strongest enemies in the game by hitting it with sticks and a single woodcutter's axe
>has to retreat
>talks about all this as if it's horrible game design to present the player with a goal to work towards
I was about to defend him before even watching this because it always took me a few tries too, but I wasn't expecting him to basically run off into the distance like that penguin in that one webm
>JA is a MUCH better streamer
lol what
Him starting streaming is when people began to question his intellect.
I do. It's a good alternative to playing the game.
There's no way he actually says this right?
>is so upset that you get a brief victory animation for achieving something in Super Mario Odyssey that a large portion of the review is spent seething over it
I guarantee you that if there were no animation he'd be seething that "wow it doesn't even feel like I accomplished anything getting the Moon! Shouldn't there be at least a little animation or something???"
I enjoyed the video, but it really isn't an analysis. It literally is just saying what happens on screen.
It's blatant that he saw Matthew's similar complaint about having to watch Luigi fly in to get a green star 150+ times all over again or however many it was, sometimes just to then spend five seconds of gameplay grabbing a star that's right where you spawn, and didn't really grasp what the problem was here but thought it sounded smart and tried to copy the complaint because he approaches his videos more like homework he has to find a way to fill out rather than a bowl to pour his thoughts into.
Pretty much. He wanted to go south to see what would happen when you reach the edge of the world and autistically slammed himself into the Lynel over and over again for at least an hour until he realized it was basically impossible for him to ever win. He framed retreating from the Lynel as a bad thing and a flaw with the game.
I'd imagine if he ever played Yooka-Laylee The Impossible Lair he'd seethe over not being able to beat the Lair on his first try.
all of these youtube faggots do this shit
retelling the plot beat for beat is not an "analysis" or a "review"
Got a link/timestamp?
i've never watch a single video game review in my life and i never will be.
you guys are all reddit faggots.
>mods keep deleting this thread instead of letting it play out
Just let it happen.

yo what the fuck.. how does this happen?
John woke up in the morning. It was a gray and rainy day. He had a shave and drank some beer with his breakfast. He looked mournfully out into the gray and rainy sky and sighed "well... I guess it's time to get back to work".
John made some lunch and packed it in his backpack, and then got into his police car, but he had long since painted over it with a brown paint job. However, when they fired John for commiting a crime he didn't commit, the force didn't realize they forgot to take his squad car away so John painted over it quickly and got to keep it.
Because of this John drove very fast to his job at the police (a different station).
"What have we got today?" John asked, approaching the man at the desk.
The desk man sighed and wiped his forehead of sweat. "John, thank the Goddess you're here! It's bad today... Five... We have a killing on main street and a carjacking around the corner and you're gonna love this, a killing just in the parking lot of our station!"
John sighed and downed the rest of his beer. "Huh... that's unusual..."
"You're telling me!... Hey, where are you going?"
John turned back in the station doorway, the wind ruffling his long, detective trenchcoat. "Me? I'm gonna get back on the case."
>no actual counter argument to his claims
>resort to insulting him based on his looks and small mistakes he makes on stream
he was a good streamer in his early streams when they were basically long unedited videos, then after some time all he did was blurt out the same memes from earlier streams over and over again.
>yusuke voice
>useless
>LEON
It is bad game design, though. In Soulsbourne you can kill every enemy no matter how weak your character is as long as you're skilled enough.
>resort to insulting him based on his looks and small
>I am not a redditor, I am a matthewfag
you're definitely a redditor then and i'm not watching any of your shitty videos.
this reads like a children's book, what the hell
>implying someone is demented enough to sit through all shit he made and make picks at every single thing he's said
>videos by some dude from 8c han
>reddit
You're retarded.
this. any game that forces you to level or grind, regardless of your skill level is shit by default
>it's another "Soulsbourne is the absolute peak of game design and if anything is different from how it is in Soulsbourne games then that means it's bad game design" episode
>2 Hours
Do poeple really sit through this? Call me a Mattewfag, be at least his videos are a reasonable length.
Wait, he has claims?
Consider his 4+ hours video on Uncharted and The Last of Us. His main "claim" is that those games are more about giving the player a visual spectacle instead of interesting gameplay one.
I mean, no shit? Anyone with a brain knows this. Why do you think Uncharted and The Last of Us get called movies so often? Or did you really think it's about the cutscenes? No, it's about the scripted brainless gameplay. Only a brainlet like Hamsterson sees that as a big discovery.
>for commiting a crime he didn't commit
lmbao no way
JOHN FREEMAN WHO WAS GORDON FREEMANS BROTHER WAS ONE DAY IN AN OFFICE TYPING ON A COMPUTER
inb4 someone cites the length of a video labelled "commentary", ie the whole point of the video is to be a full playthrough.
He was looking at the twitch chat and not paying any attention.
You have autism.
>thank the Goddess
why do they all do this?
I think you can pretty clearly tell the difference in quality between Matthew's BotW video and Joseph's BotW video. That should really be enough for you to tell which is the better reviewer.
Also, take note of their release dates.
>Joseph releases video in under two months, was clearly rushing to make the video as soon as he could to capitalize on clicks, gives it punchy title
>Matthew waits until he feels like he's really sure on his opinions, release date makes it clear he took his time with the game to let it all really sink in before giving an uneducated opinion he'll regret later
No fucking way it's real
So his first playthrough of a game he reviewed was done while not even paying attention to the game?
Legitimate question. If he played before I'd expect him to know what the challenge was unless that was something missable.
>He was looking at the twitch chat and not paying any attention.
Yeah makes sense to start not paying attention right when a challenge is presented to you. This definitely makes him look like a great game reviewer worthy of respect.
