Silksong should cost $40Team Cherry is doing the whole industry and themselves disservice by pricing it lower. It puts unrealistic expectations on all other Indie devs who don't have the privilege of record breaking smash hit prequel.To be honest, Hollow Knight itself was undervalued, and many indie games took que and followed its price tag, Silksong will only worsen it for indie devs.It's amazing how confidently incorrect you all are if you think Silksong is priced fairly and I'm disappointed in you
>>720063456kill yourself retard
i don't care, gamedevs owe me good games (silksong isn't one though)
>>720063456This guy became such a up his own ass snob so quick. He probably always was but he dropped any sort of facade once a little bit of e-fame came to him
>>720063456joseph anderson is retarded. his wife divorced him and took his money lmao. matthewmatosis won
>he's playing Silksong on streamJesus he truly sold out
>>720064076Divorced VS released his own game that Bombed
>>720064569Joseph Anderson has spent the last several years NOT releasing his super secret game that's totally not shit
He was right about Mario Odyssey
True.
What the fuck is this thread talking about
>>720063456did you get banned or something and came to 4chan to whine, why are you posting this nonsense here
>>720063456other Indie devs should stop being greedy jews and realize cheaper products lead to higher total sales
>>720063456>make a game that's more hyped and wanted by players>only charge $20 for itMaybe all those AAA studios should take a step back and look at all the money they've pissed down the drain chasing a fanbase that doesn't exist. Just make games actual players want and don't charge absurd prices. Pandering to the lowest percentage of gamers has done nothing positive for gaming as a whole.
what are the chances that mouse is here as the pathetic person she is farming and lurking misery and negativity just to casually and passive aggressively mention it on stream lol
>>720063456Why do you guys think a game made by 2000 people is a scam when it's sold 70 bucks, but are perfectly fine when a game made by a single guy is sold for 30 bucks?
>>720063456I like how devcucks these days are straight up confessing to the customers that they try to force each other to collude into extracting more money from us. Go fuck yourselves, I hope AI makes you all homeless.
>>720063456Did he actually say this? I haven't watched his Silksong streams because I knew it would be an unbearable dickride session
>>720068124Not only did he say that, he even argued with chat about it. Surprisingly there were many people who disagreed with him, at least until he banned some guy and all his dickriders spammed the chat. According to him this was the second most disappointment he felt at chat, first being his chat defending Dorothy design from VA-11 Hall-A
>>720068557Was OP banned, is that why he came here to make this thread? lol
>>720068557Seems like every other game he streams he has some retarded take and argues with his chat about it. How long until his community just gets filtered down into yes men I wonder. Going full time streamer was a mistake, too much parasocial shit going on that'll eventually cultivate a community that never steps out of line.
>>7200634562D game
Did none of the faggot journalists and devs who posted this ever hear of competitive pricing, the literal foundation of good business practice kek? Why do we always get the most retarded "discourses" in the gaming sphere
>>720064076Did he really get divorced? Is that why they closed their discord?
>>720068557>defending Dorothy design from VA-11 Hall-ASeems like a weird thing to kvetch about but I saw some his SG seething and it was just him crying about>WHAT THE FUCK THIS OTAKU NERD IS DOING OTAKU NERD SHIT IN A NOVEL ABOUT OTAKU NERDS ACCIDENTLY BREAKING THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE EWWWWWWWhy does he play weeb games if he doesn't like them?
>>720068557>Dorothy design from VA-11 Hall-Awhat's wrong with that design i don't know anything about the game except that it was made by some based Venezuelans that managed to escape that shithole
>>720063456epic bait my good man
>>720069025>Why does he play weeb games if he doesn't like them?His audience is full of ironic weebs who beg him to play "cringe problematic" stuff they either used to like or consider a guilty pleasure so that he can make fun of it. It's a very strange and autistic streamer-audience dynamic.
>>720068740He's the worst type of person to argue with too. He never wants to admit he's wrong or had a bad take or even just has a different opinion. Livestreaming was a terrible idea for him because that constant arguing with chat always kills an e-celeb career.
The town...made him stupid...?
>>720063456>unironically arguing for price-fixingWhat a moron. Team Cherry can charge whatever the hell they want, and so can the rest of the industry. That's how the free market is supposed to function, not "nooooooo, you have to price-gorge even though you totally don't need to for the sake of your competitors!!!!"
>>720069672I think he's tolerable when purposely playing bad games like LiS and having fun with it but otherwise he's a massive retard pretending he's not.
>>720069770He's turning into a leftie, he probably doesn't believe in the free market
>>720068960yeah and now he's dating a fangirl now. what a retard
>>720069864He's canadian retard. He was always a libtard
>>720068557>According to him this was the second most disappointment he felt at chat, first being his chat defending Dorothy design from VA-11 Hall-AI'd imagine third place would go to his Persona 4 playthrough where he started crying about people in chat "defending Yosuke's homophobia" because they tried to explain that Yosuke was acting like a typical teenage boy in the early 2000s.
>>720069983Liberals believe in the free market. He's been getting further and further left because his retarded american leftie girlfriend is probably rotting his brain. You are right that, as a canadian, he's extra susceptible to this brainrot.
jesus fucking christ. you underage retards can't go a single day without bringing your eceleb cancer into things.
>>720069992Now THAT is even funnier when its strongly implied Yosuke is the only gay/bisexual dude in the cast. I always thought it was him projecting and, like you said being a typical teenager. Talk about seeing the tree and missing the forest
Did no one point out to him that Team Cherry is more AA now than indie?
>>720069239She's an android prostitute outfitted with a child-like body. A loli prostitute. Of course, she's actually a grown woman and acts very much like it. It's just the usual cyberpunk weirdness.
>>720070206>>720069992Maybe I'm missremembering but didn't he say the same thing? That Yosuke was a teen so it was more understandable and etc?
>>720069850I haven't seen that but I did find him entertaining, if a little long winded. I thought at first he over explained stuff because he just wanted to make himself clear, but then the whole Soma thing happened, he had a melty for a few days and made that cope video lmao. Then I realized he actually does think he's smarter than everyone else and over explains because he thinks you're a retard.
>>720070298Probably not, considering that's not a real fucking thing.
>>720069992Reminder that he's entertaining streaming the remake. His community is MUCH more annoying than they were in 2020 so every scene with Kanji, Naoto, or Yosuke will become absolutely unbearable.
>>720064569>BombedCarlos!
>>720063456Games are overpriced and always have been. 99% of games priced over 30$ are not worth even ten dollars when it comes to gameplay.Team Cherry should price the game at 10$ and really light a fire under everyone's asses.
>>720064076Matthew is retarded, most of his issues with DS2 are literally just him failing to adapt to the game and not actual mechanical failings of the game itselfFor example, Matthew over-using lock on and getting punished for it in group fightsThere are bosses like the Lost Sinner which literally make breaking lock-on into a boss-fight mechanic, and bosses like the Old Iron King where lock-on can get you killed by stage hazardsIf removing lock on is a deliberate mechanic for boss fights, then it's a deliberate mechanic for the whole game. When I played DS2 I naturally started avoiding locking onto enemies during big group fights and I was rewarded for it against the pre-mentioned bosses, and against all the group bossesI mean if someone picked up that joke shield weapon in Bloodborne and then complained they couldn't make a block-tank people would laugh at them, but fail to adapt to DS2 in the same way and people take it as legitimate criticism
>>720063456kill yourself or release games customers want to buy, faggot.
>>720070151Joseph Anderson is /v/ culture, newfag-kun
>>720063456Why does that dragon look like it's about to throw up
>>720070823>n-n-n-n-no my heckin ecelebarino is le based! i'm an oldfag, i've been here since 2016 and I should know!
>>720063456Post the /lit/ review of his book.
>>720069025People who kvetch about media set in a particular time and place having character who act like people from said time and place fucking infuriate me to no end. Do they also piss themselves watching period dramas where characters are racist/sexist?
>>720070704>Uh, DS2 is->*Humongous wall of text*Nigga I ain't reading all that.
>>720070396>that's not a real fucking thing.It definitely used to be, and arguably still is with some of the surviving mid-budget nip studios like NIS or Falcom.
>>720069897What about his 4 Aryan children? What will happen to them?
>>720071690he still lives in the same place where his ex wife and kids are so he can visit them regularly, so he isn't a total deadbeat at least
>>720071602Triple A games are called that because it was an acronym. It's not a fucking grading system based on how many A's you've got. There's not a fucking Michelin Guide reviewer going around giving studios extra A's.
>>720071771>noooooooo, language can't evolve, it has to stay literal in its meaning forever and ever!I bet you seethe everytime someone says it's raining cats and dogs
>>720071771In that sense, sure, AA isn't a thing, but I'm not deeply autistic enough to not accept that AA is just short-hand for "mid-budget game made by a moderately sized team." It's a bit like how laser is an acronym, but people still talk about "lasers" even though that would technically read as "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiations." Nobody cares, it still gets the job done and communicates what you want it to.
>>720066451we both know they're going to continue head first doing the same thing till they go bust. they are way too comfortable to course correct at this point if you ask me.
>>720070298>Team Cherry is more AA now than indieThe developers themselves are rich, but the game is definitely low budget.AA is more akin to something like E33, KCD2, DK Bananza, or the Tony Hawk remakes.Big, polished games, with good graphics made by a professional studio of 30-60 people.So much bigger than the average low budget indie game, but you can see where the developers cut corners to save budget keeping the project away from AAA bloat.
>>720071543>1 paragraph>humongous wall of textWhy are zoomers so brain-rotted?
>>720069992Nah, that wasn’t even a big deal. He banned some people because he got sick of people arguing over it in his chat. The real best breakdown was over the sprinklers in Danganronpa
>>720063456>unrealistic expectations on all other Indie devs who don't have the privilege of record breaking smash hit prequel.Sincerely, no one's problem but their own.
If everyone's complaining about how bad you're making them look you're probably doing pretty good.
>>720073039>T-t-the zoomers.. they-Lmao. Go ahead, get in the gender change coffin DS2sister.
>720073756Why am I arguing with an illiterate brownoid
>>720068886You don't understand where their disagreement stems from. The people complaining aren't like you, a rational person who is able to distance himself from the thing he is judging. They are mad because THEY'RE the competition. You are reading the industry propaganda of people with a vested interest in not getting undercut.
>>720073445Or you are an asshole undermining entire industry to detriment of everyone but yourself
>>720075463If I can offer a better product at a better price than my competitors, why shouldn't I do that?
>>720070704cope
>>720063456I got banned from this dork's chat because I pointed out how stupid this train of thought is kek
>>720076507Not an argument
desu, as a gamedev, I'd be ecstatic that my competition is undervaluing their product, because that means the consumer base we share alike will have more leftover money to also buy my games.
>>720063456Still hasn't finished the Witcher 3 review
>>720063456This is bait but leap off a cliff for posting it either way.
https://youtu.be/0lhy9QnBHmoLet's assume you're right...
His recent playthrough of Umineko was hopefully the final mask-off moment for the few viewers he still has and who think this idiot has any idea what he's talking about. Playing a sound novel with the sound turned almost all the way down, looking up future plot developments on the Wiki so he can look smart by predicting them but then also complains about them because he is unable to make the mental effort of actually figuring them out, him basically outright asking people on Twitter to spoil the culprit's identity and so on. He's a fat, embarrassing, retarded pseud.
>>720078687I knew he was a retard when he didn't get SH2.
>>720078687I knew he was googling shit when he did the whodunnit puzzle in Episode 8 and wasn't getting anywhere near close, expressed frustration after an hour, and then kinda slowed down a bit for a break and came back and somehow eureka solved it lmao
>>720078994He actually got caught having the Wiki open while he was still in EP4. I wish I still had the screenshot but other people have talked about it as well.
>>720078994He didn't go on break during that whole segment dude, why lie.
>>720079248Yeah he did he stopped talking for a bit and would occasionally chime in but was clearly afk tabbing through shit lol
>>720079295But he didn't even get it right, he thought it was George and his family.
>>720063456I did not realise people actually held this belief, I thought it was a meme
>>720079467NTA but he's been on fucking Twitter talking about who the culprit could be "ohh who could it be what a mystery" but every single question made it extremely obvious that he got spoiled on it. Like he didn't explain his reasoning at all, he just made the "assumption" that that was the culprit and then complained about how it made no sense, because he's not able to work the solution backwards since he never actually figured it out. He's such a pathetic retard.
Make better games if you want to put a higher price on it. No indie game is worth more than 20$ EVER.
>>720063456Or.. OR... It puts REALISTIC expectations on other other devs, AAA and Indie, that previously had smash hit prequels.
>>720079926Okay, you just got like 3 things wrong in a row now. He didn't post anything on Twitter, you can look that up for yourself. And I'm not sure if you are even talking about the 8th episode mistery or have ou switched to talking about the overall culprit of the story.
Reminder that this fat faggot pretends to care about art but thinks that anime is "icky". He's a failed normalfag, the worst kind.
>>720080189I see it was another anon that jumped in. I got confused. We were talking about the 8th episode mistery.
>>720078687The moment he flubbed the cheese problem I knew he was actually low IQ. Like legit poor spacial intelligence.
>>720078687>Playing a sound novel with the sound turned almost all the way downI didn't even bother past the first episode once I realized that this pseud only cares about entry-level story structure. It's probably why his book is the most generic fantasy dogshit you can imagine.
>>720070704>Matthew is retarded>instantly shifts to crying about his ds2 vidThat review truly mindbroke you schitzos huh? Its been 11 fucking years.
>>720064713Right, he spent years trying to be novelist and it's amount to a handful of questionable quality science fiction books he put on Amazon.
Reminder that this self-declared game critic and novelist doesn't know who Agatha Christie is.
He never said that, and would never say that. In his original Hollow Knight video he made a point of how much value the game provides for what it costs and how thats a good thing.Btw, how he feeling about Silksong so far?
Until there's a confirmed clip of him directly saying that the game should cost more and it's not a bit, I won't believe he genuinely got mad at people for thinking the game is fairly priced. It sounds something someone extremely out of touch would say.
>>720080587He did say it. Not quite the way it's worded on the OP, but the sentiment is the same. >>720080716He says it's not reasonable prices as in, it's very cheap compared to how much game there is.
If people knew what he looks like irl they would very quickly stop thinking that he's some kind of insightful experienced guy.
>>720080587>>720080716Have fun, he goes at it with chat for half an hourtwitch.tv/videos/2560573610?t=3h33m51s
>>720066967Has she even been in streams besides Umineko? I hope not she was insufferable.>>720068557God Dorothy is based.
>>720080384The part that gets me is that his DaS2 critique starts off by saying he liked it and would rather play it than most contemporary games, somehow that led to people thinking he hates it and accordingly misrepresenting all of his points for the next 11 years
>>720070704>Matthew over-using lock on and getting punished for it in group fightsWow, almost like the lock on system is dogshit and you're an idiot for trying to defend.
>>720063456>Silksong should cost $40So just buy 2 copies retard?
I think Umineko blows but this faggot didn't even give it a fair chance. Now he's acting like he always loved it because his tranny fanbase convinced him of how important this story is for fags or whatever, which isn't even true to begin with.
>>720080831>it's very cheap compared to how much game there is.Which is exactly why it's going to sell a lot and allow the small team to make more games like it in the future. The fact that the team has the tact to make their game cheap to buy while also offering all of that content is a rare event in the modern video game sphere. I don't think I'll ever understand why anyone would want it to be priced higher.>>720081056I can see this just goes on and on and I probably won't listen to all of this, but thanks for posting it. I don't agree with the "It's their jobs" point. The video game industry has proven itself to be the type of place where someone can lose their job pretty quickly, and I feel that's just the harsh nature of it. It further proves that someone should be making a game because they want to and they're truly passionate about making a fun experience, not just because they want to make money.>But it could stick in a lot of gamers minds and they'll compare other games to the value of this one. (quote from the clip)Yes, and that's a good thing. This isn't some huggy fun time happiness show with cinnamon swirls, it's the fucking gaming industry and shit falls apart all the time if you don't compete properly. Team Cherry are just showing people how it's done.
>>720080831It's incredibly reasonable if you're the customer, and given the sheer amount of copies Team Cherry has sold it's clearly worked out for them. Lowering the bar to entry means more people will dip the toe to even try the game at all. God forbid it's something like, say, tabletop Warhammer. 500 dollars probably won't cover a 3rd of what you're expected to bring to play a regular game of that.
I can't even imagine how much of a bugbrained shill you have to be to complain about a video game being too cheap.
>>720063456i know this dude is white but he sounds ESL and retarded when he speaks
>>720082006Because he's a fat autistic sperg, see >>720078215
>>720081857The complete opposite is true. He gave it 1000x more of a chance that he has ever or will ever give anything adjacent to anime. This dude ragequit reading S;G then turned around and spent literally six months streaming himself reading Umineko, half of the time with his friends/internet gf. His discord is like 50% umineko fans at this point. His username there is STILL a Battler joke.
>>720081635THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
>>720081310>He got filteredKekadoodle
>>720081128Also applies to his lost souls art video where he literally says that Souls games put other action RPGs to shame yet people come off the video acting like he hates every Souls game.
>>720082141He read Umineko with the volume basically turned off. He never, not even for a single microsecond, attempted to get immersed. It's like watching the LotR movies in chinese.
>>720081128Its mostly just an easy out got ds2fags to disregard any criticism of the game. They can simply deflect and pretend that Matt somehow brainwashed everyone who hates ds2 and happens to share some complaintsI really wonder what the schitzo ds2 fags would do in a timeline in which Matt never made that review and people still had issues with ds2
>>720063456Silksong should be $10, just to make retarded Harvard MBAs seethe.
>>720063456>Successful company needs to get meta with their pricing model and consider the poor 2 hour walking sim devsHalf of the appeal of Hollow Knight was the incredible bang for your buck. It's the Terraria model. Perhaps there is a saturation problem in the indie games industry, and the mediocre developers need to re-strategize.
This fat retard should be the last person to complain about writing in anything. People really need to know just how godawful his books are.
>>720082178Coffin, now.
Isn't this the retard who thinks he knows about stories but never actually read books?
>>720082482All you had to do was turn off lock-on
>>720082475damn look at that body of work
>>720082227He turned it down so that he could read it out loud. He's an entertainer, you can't reasonably expect him to sit there dead silent while characters talk in a game that's ONLY people talking. That's such a dumb way to gauge his investment in the game when the counter evidence is so overwhelming (committed to livestreaming himself spending like 100 hours over half a year reading through the story, brought on guest readers, talked about the story in his discord, cried at the ending of it). Contrast that with basically any other japanese media he consumes on stream where he just makes fun of it the entire time and it's night and day. Joe will literally never give any other anime or japanese video game the level of time and respect he gave Umineko.
>>720082521He went into Umineko talking about how much he loves mystery as a genre and then confirmed that he doesn't know who Agatha Christie is.
>>720082529Turning off lock on fixes the dogshit, broken controls? When you didn't use lock on, did that magically fix the lock on from being shit?
>>720081128>>720082206>Be soi redditor with no convictions>Give empty platitudes>Proceed to cry for hours about how hard you got filtered>/v/edditors: ERM ACTUALLY HE LIKED IT HE SAID SO AT THE START OF THE VIDEO
>>720082584You realize that there's other playthroughs of the VN up on Youtube and nobody in those turns the volume down and they're still able to provide tons of commentary, right? Hell I saw this one dude with only a couple hundred views who did a better analysis of each chapter than most people I know.
>>720082475Is his shit self published? When I started watching him I assumed he had a publisher
>>720082673Works fine for 1v1 against most enemiesGame punishes you for using it against hordes and against enemies like invisible hollows or lost sinnerSimple
>>720082692>Be soi redditor with no convictionsThe average DaS2tranny?
>>720082475Reminder that he tries to bury them nowadays and sometimes even lies about how he wrote them when he was 13 years old, even though that's not possible based on the publishing dates unless he randomly decided to publish them 15 years later.
>>720071543t.
>>720082796>Works fineCool, so I can zoom out the camera and rotate it then?
>>720082816KekWere we schizos for 11 years or do we have no convictions?>>720082883No, and you can't do that in any Souls game when locked on
>>720082854Dude he talks about it with no problem when people ask on stream, where are you getting this from
>>720082706>I saw this one dude with only a couple hundred viewsYes, exactly. That's boring, nobody wants to watch that. Joe is an entertainer, he turned down the voices so he could read out the dialogue because that's what his audience wants to hear when they go to his stream: him talking. Also, a lot of people listened without watching and obviously don't understand japanese, so him reading out the dialogue allowed a lot of people to enjoy it without actively watching and reading along.I think the way he streamed the game was pretty annoying, the voice acting is like half the reason to read the VN over the manga so talking over it is dumb as shit imo, but I don't think it disqualifies him from being invested in the story. Ultimately it's primarily just a book: as long as you're reading it and engaging with it by coming up with theories, then you're invested.
>>720083005>NoSo it's garbage. Glad we could agree.
>>720080384Matosis is retarded but intelligent enough to get away with it. Only pseuds listen to him.
>>720082584NobyGrand is an autistic slav and yet he managed to upload the arguably best playthrough/commentary of Umineko anyone has ever done, with better editing and genuine insights than this self-proclaimed professional game critic.
>>720083103>ERM BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS FEATURE NONE OF THE SOULS GAME DO?>WHY CAN'T I DRINK THE HAMBURGER??
Why are leftist all simultaneously choosing to die on the stupidest hills possible lately?Cracking down on crime in the nation's capitol is tyranny?A tranny just shot a bunch of kids at a Catholic school but don't you dare misgender it?Cartel gangs shipping fentanyl and other hard drugs into the country and killing millions of Americans is good but bombing these criminals out of the water is "war crime"?And now Hollow Knight Silksong being priced $20, giving an incredible value to gamers, is actually a moral evil by team cherry and they deserve to be harassed by politicians over it??There is some kind of very real and deranged mental illness consuming leftist on the internet and it is only intensifying as the year goes. No topic is too petty to turn political if it can be subsumed by an imagined cultural civil war.
>>720083023>Joe is an entertainerWhere's the fucking entertainment then?>Also, a lot of people listened without watching and obviously don't understand japaneseThis is the excuse that streamers use who only care about viewer numbers, not the actual experience.>Ultimately it's primarily just a bookIt's a SOUND NOVEL. Sound is incredibly important to the VN, and the fact that you think that I was talking about the VA instead of the SFX and music makes it clear that you're a retarded secondary who has never read the original release of the game.
>>720083169>you don't understand, it's supposed to be shitGreat argument.
>>720083301I'm just curious, were you active in umiden? I read a lot of people saying that that channel in his discord was fucking insufferable the entire time he was reading in spite of how much he was clearly enjoying the game, and you seem like one of them.
>>720083301Man, Umineko fans will really say you didn't read the VN correctly if your volume was a bit low, amazing lmao
>>720083332Why would you be able to rotate the camera while locked onto an enemy? Literally no Souls games do this because it's retardedYou can rotate the camera, you can zoom in with an item, just not while locked on
>>720083141Okay schitzoContinue seething about his review far into the future I guess
>>720083426>admitting to being in the discord of this fat faggot>>>720083428>missing the pointYour e-daddy is only one step away from turning into a lolcow.
>>720083432>Why would you be able to rotate the camera while lockedTo scan the environment for other enemies and obstacles like any other good action game on the planet.
>>720083485I don't care about his reviews. I'm stating that he is retarded and only pseuds listen to him. If you weren't a pseud you'd see that too.
>>720083579By that metric none of the Souls games are good action games
>>720083428This was about immersion and taking the experience seriously. So yes, turning down the volume in a sound novel, especially when you constantly talk about "art in video games" is pretty bad.
>>720083568Alright so your autistic melty isn't even grounded in some kind of parasocial investment in how he's engaging with the story, you're just a typical uminigger. Every day of my life I curse r07's existence for spawning you freaks into this world.
>>720083620ding ding ding
>>720078215this explains a lot
>>720063738Please be patient, the town made him stupid.
>>720083676>you're just a typical uminigger. Every day of my life I curse r07's existence for spawning you freaks into this world.Aren't you kinda admitting with this that you don't give a shit how he engages with it?
Joseph Anderson believes that SOMA has the best plot of any video game ever made and that God of War (2018) is "almost one of the greatest games of all time".
>>720083831Of course I don't, my entire argument has been that him turning the audio down and reading over the dialogue, though very retarded, doesn't disqualify him from engaging with the story or enjoying it. My dislike for Umineko is irrelevant to that, but on the other hand, I have a hard time imagining how a person could possibly think that turning the volume down low disqualifies you from properly enjoying the VN unless you're a diehard fanboy.
oh shit, son! a random faggot on the internet has an opinion? it's a good thing you made a thread about it.
>>720084012>I can't imagine how the volume matters in a sound novelYeah you're definitely a Joseph "Symbolism is bad" Anderson fan.
>>720083931He's a Better Man than me
>>720083103>trying this hard to bait so poorly
Um uh um, I-I-I'm... I'm 30 seconds into explaining what I don't like about it, an an ahanuhhh... okay, les' luug les' luug ahdadah James f-fir fir a s-solid example. There was for a long time there, James... was not sure if Mary was acshully dead when he's the one that killed her.The reason why I don't like it that no one acts like a person is that because they don't act like people there thih-nothing makes sense n' there can be no stakes and there can be no chain of events that acshully matters outside of, "Oh, that's cool." Hhhh... Because the way that they talk to each other an' the way that James goes thrur it, it seems like it's building to some surdof myst'ry and there's some sword of, "Okay, well, what's going on here?" Y'know, whatdehyih... and it's just like, "Oh, well, he just forgot about something." Orrr, "He doesn't really, he, he deh-he's not remembering well because the town is making him stupid.
>>720084119You have zero arguments for me being a joe fanboy but I have multiple pretty credible reasons to believe you're an autistic uminegro fanboy. Anyway, none of your boring youtubers got any views or attention and based gigachad Joe who talked over everyone and thought the game started sucking the moment Ange showed up is the preeminent expert on the game and nothing you can say will change that. Stay mad or something.
>>720084321Yeah check out these incredible view numbers.
>>720084208That's not bait, you're just an idiot who eats slop without thinking.
>>720084321>You have zero arguments for me being a joe fanboy>Anyway, none of your boring youtubers got any views or attention and based gigachad Joe who talked over everyone and thought the game started sucking the moment Ange showed up is the preeminent expert on the game
>>720084228I wish more of his current fanbase knew about his SH2 playthrough. That wasn't just a little fumble, it was one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen from a video game streamer. Like it's up there with DSP jacking off on cam.
>>720084535I'm obviously being facetious you actually giga sped. God I hate autistic people.
>>720084228kek, I can hear it in his voice
I'm pretty sure the guy who said that the Onions of War games are literary masterpieces shouldn't comment on anything.
>>720084453Those are good numbers for unedited streams
>>720084508Again by your metric all Souls games are slopSo there's not really any reason to argue with you
>>720083639He didnt take 999 or Steins;gate seriously either so idk why vnfags were so eager to watch him play umineko. He clearly hates the genre
>>720084783There's Umineko playthroughs from random people nobody has ever heard of on Youtube who pull bigger numbers even though it's like 300 videos.
>>720084764The first one is very solid with its writing. Maybe if your only interaction with the first game is through the disingenuous my wife's son threads, I can understand why you might think that
>>720084904Parasocial experience, they think the fat retard with no chin and whose novels read like they're written by a 13-year old on Tumblr is a cool guy.
>>720084984>Anderson fans keep revealing themselves as tasteless retardsI bet you think his books are "very solid" too.
>>720084904>He clearly hates the genreThe writer hates visual NOVELS? Like I'm not gonna pretend VNs are high literature but that's retarded
>people actually still defend Joseph Anderson in 2025Holy kek, last time I checked even fucking Reddit abandoned him for being an insufferable idiot.
>>720085210Here's the first page from one of his literary masterpieces.
>>720085325...Is that actually real?
>>720085130I can see why the removal of loki from the first game wasn't an interesting narrative choice about choosing fat but was actually gay and onions because I am actually a joseph anderson enjoyer. Good argument you fucking retarded nigger, kill yourself
>>720085325Yeah I've seen that before, I mainly just hear what Joe's doing in these threads. I know he's a retard but I find it hard to believe someone who enjoys reading would hate VNs unless they just hate anime or something.
>defending e-celebs>defending Joseph "The Town Made Him Stupid" Anderson of all e-celebskys
>>720085210I don't think he hates visual novels, I think he hates wacky anime horseshit like danganronpa and steins gate
>>720085572He's really into art and culture which is why he abhors japanese media on principle, even though his books are somehow even worse than your average shitty LN. Oh and he also happens to basically never read anything ever but please don't mention that in his streams, it triggers his rapidly developing AGP.
>>720085748>I think he hates wacky anime horseshitOh okay. Anyways, here's the first page of his fantasy epos.
I agreed with some of his takes on the Elden Ring DLC, but after listening to him actually talk through his points it's obvious that he's just doing it to be a contrarian. It was even more obvious with his E33 stuff
>>720085325>>720085850I love how posting his dogshit novels just immediately defeats any argument in regards to him talking about writing.
>>720084228He's right. People repressing memories of murder is tv bullshit
>>720085850Kek, it really reads like a shitty light novel.
>>720084228"This isn't how real people act" should instantly and permanently disqualify you from ever being taken seriously as a critic. You can dig through centuries of literary critique and you will never see someone say "This is bad because it's not how real life works". It's exclusive to hacky midwit youtubers.
>>720085850It's like he's trying so hard at the start there but lacks the skill to write something interesting. Jesus man, pick up a thesaurus or something.
>>720085850>You are known there as Kate. Just Kate, no last name. I hated when people called me Kathleen but you might like it. Remember, though, that those who know you think you hate it.THIS is who people are listening to when it comes to analysing writing in video games?
>>720085325>>720085850Well, that explains why he thinks SOMA is up there with Don Quixote and The Count of Monte Cristo.
>>720086103It's both because even brainlets can do it and because it's uncool to engage with something in earnest. It has to be ironic and at arm's length, so instead of anything meaningful it's THIS ISN'T REALISTICWhich is what audiences want the most
>>720086103You forgot that Joseph and his faggy fanbase think that you should ignore boring old white men writers.
>>720082584>He turned it down so that he could read it out loud.I really really wish that this wasn't considered a requirement for streaming/recording playthroughs of games without voice acting. I absolutely cannot stand it
>>720070348He said that Yosuke's homophobia probably was a product of its time, since he didn't know anything about the state of gay people in japan he assumed it's a case of Yosuke growing up in a society that expects teenage boys to be horny all the time. Yosuke then assumes if he, a straight person, is constantly hitting on the girls then Kanji, who he thought is gay, would do the same for guys. He still didn't like it but could understand why Yosuke behaved that way, however as it kept happening even after Kanji told him to stop it kept dropping his opinion of Yosuke.
>>720086501It's not. I literally cannot find any other playthrough of that VN on YT that does the same thing.
Look how the Anderson fanboy ran away after someone posted his retarded novels lol.
>>720063456did tard boy actually say that?
>>720085850Did he write this when he was 9 years old or something?
>>720070704>Matthew is retarded, most of his issues with DS2 are literally just him failing to adapt to the game and not actual mechanical failings of the game itselfnah it's that the game is actual dogshit.
I think the town made him stupid.
>>720063456Both are pretty average indie games, so they were priced fine, if not too much.
>>720070704>DAS2 fanboy crying about criticism from over a decade ago out of NOWHEREHoly shit DaS2 fans are such sensitive, delicate snowflakes.
>>720063456>NO! You can´t make good games like BG3, Silksong or Expedition 33!! Who will buy our generic overpriced slop if you rise the bar?! YAMEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
>>720086708Well I'm glad to be mistaken then. I feel like every time I stumble upon a playthrough or stream of a character-driven game without VA, they're doing that shit. Maybe it's not engaging enough for children without it.
Has anyone else noticed that its only outspoken leftists who have complained about Silksong's low price?What's up with that?
>>720071602I think what people use AA they're talking more about games that don't look like they were made 2 gens ago so Falcom doesn't qualify
Its only $20 because were the free playtesters. Once it's actually playable in a year or two, they'll probably bump it up to $40 and call it scholar of the first song.Back to Helldivers for me. I'm not wasting my precious time on an unfinished game. Team Cherry should be ashamed.
Joe already said that Umineko is one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever created and vnfags still aren't satisfied.
