>6 hour review>He doesn't even get to the most basic of gameplay mechanics aside of the shit you literally see on screen>He literally just talks about the game so he can start talking about some personal story or something surrounding the game>Here are love bombs>Never explains what the consequences of them are>You can buy gifts>Here are the stats>Now can we please keep talking about my dates and castlevania?And people say this is one of the best reviews of all time?I feel for the fucking meme holy shit
have they translated the ps1 version or whatever yet? or that ps2 game with all the normal hair coloured girls?
>>738412990Why talk about the gameplay when the gameplay fucking sucks?Just play an actual good dating sim like Amagami that doesn't waste your fucking time
>>738413360>Actual good>Dating sim???
yeah watching this review felt like asking a woman about a game she played>oh yeah I love that game let me tell you all about it>long stream of consciousness about personal problems with only the most surface level parts of the game
Yeah, he's actually awful. It's basically just masturbation for him. I condemn.
>>738413771>Long winded story that ends in a joke vaguely related to the gameAh yes. Peak of storytelling
>>738413360>Doesn't waste your time>Either have to learn an entire other language or download like 6 separate fan translations because each route has to be its own thing instead of just packed into the same thingSounds like a waste of fucking time to me.
>>738412990Just watch the Game Center CX episode.
>>738413965It really feels like the game is literally just about him, with some random Trivia related to Tokimeki in the background.
>>738412990Never trust a YouTube video that lasts multiple hours.Half of the time anything of value that the vid says could be conveyed in less than an hour and the vid is either an excuse to talk about another topic or some utterly retarded individual unable to convey anything succinctly and making a big deal about any tiny detail.
>>738414737That doesn't even explain OP's issue you fucking retard.
>>738412990>Rambles on about his life japan for half of the video because it tangentially relates to the videogame he is analyzing.I can't stand his boku no natsuyasumi video
>>738412990>>738414980Why watch the guy, who's whole gimmick is using game reviews as a vehicle for telling life stories in excruciating detail?
>>738415360>Friend recommends me to play the game or watch the review>Don't know about the guy but maybe the game is amazing so I give it a try>25 mins, he hasn't even started talking about the game>Ok maybe it gets better. We still have 5 hours and a half left anyway...
>>738415360Because some faggots on this board recommended Action Button to me. I'd rather watch Majuular. His King's field videos are so entertaining.
>>738415360>Why watch the guy, who's whole gimmick is using game reviews as a vehicle for telling life stories in excruciating detail?That's the thingThe stories never go past surface level shit unless he's doing a joke like the suda 51 shitso he's not going deep into the gameor the research or his lifehe's just wasting our times
>>738414173Just emulate the Vita version.Those translation trannies finally released their tools and one autist managed to fit their entire translation on a single patch for the Vita version in less than 2 months.
Someone i met linked me this video when it was uploaded and i didnt watch more than a few seconds cause i saw the length.The same guy now trooned out i think, and plays vrchatDude was always a bit weird in the head.
>>738414241Ive seen the memes with him but never actually watched his show, is it just japanese avgn?
>>738413360With that lifeless drab 00s art? No thank you.
>>738415360Friend simulator.
>>738413360What kind of mechanics made a dating sim good? Seems like its just, 1. talk the girl you like 2. gift her presents 3. go on dates 4. listen to her sob story 5. kiss. How do you gamefy that?
>>738417195Warioware minigames to get shit
>>738412990I always thought that you had to be deeply unintersting a person to be watching a video like this. If most entertainment is there to fill a rejection of "emtpy time" and fill your head with noise, then this is for the people who have no friends and... truly think anything is better than nothing? Your heart and soul are so empty you'd spend hours of your life on this thinking there's anything you can get out of it? It's deeply unentertaining and unfun. It's like anti content.
>>738417195There are at least two dating sim party games where the goal is to be the first person to get a girlfriend. No, I'm not kidding.
>>738412990I like the funny doom sound effects
>>738412990I've never seen this guy.I've never seen this video.And I've watched several full Youtube videos about Tokimeki Memorial, both about dating sims in general and about a specific TM game. Where did you find this irrelevant piece of crap, anyway? How far did you need to dig to locate something like this?
>>738417483It's probably the the most popular tokimeki video?
He's a narcissist who's claim to superiority is he tested high on some intelligence test when he was young. That's an automatic red flag for insufferable cunts.
>>738413360>Just play an actual good dating sim that doesn't waste your fucking timeThats called looking up the cgs on sadpanda
>>738417535First time I've run across it. I've seen (and watched) the Punchy video that's apparently #2 on the list, about how bad the third game is. Maybe I just didn't watch enough dating sim videos for Youtube to start recommending it to me directly.
>>738417029It started out as a gaming themed variety show with segments like developer interviews and game challenges. The challenges quickly became the most popular part of the show and took the spotlight, with other segments just being quick bits to help the flow of the show.Basically Arino has to complete the game he's challenged with in a single day (with some exceptions where he's granted extentions) or he fails. It's a fun show. Just pop up an episode of a game you like to get a feeling for it, or check out one of the fun gimmick episodes like quiz games or games that use interesting peripherals like Go By Train.
>>738412990Never checked this vid but all this time I thought it was an AVGN episode.
>>738412990He said on twitter that his videos aren't about games. He just uses games as a way to draw people in.Tim's great when he's unscripted, old episodes of insert credit are endlessly re-listenable, coz he actually stays on topic and him and brandon sheffield have an amazing knowlege of obscure japanese games that's just fascinating to listen to.But he's absolutely insufferable when he's doing scripted videos.He's credited as starting "New Games Journalism" in the 2000s where the aim is to spend more time talking/writing about anything other than video games.
>>738412990I need to play this. Or some game. Have to immerse.
>>738417772I was watching punchy when a friend recommended the other video to me.Dunno how you get the algo to that point but damn the video is dogshit
>>738417810thanks anon, i will. just got some dinner, ill check out his lttp vid
>>738412990all his reviews are just venues for him to tell made-up stories about his life
Congrats on watching a six hour shit post.
>>738412990Gotta say. He sounds and probably is an insufferable cunt but I do like some of his videos. Cyberpunk, Doom and Boku No Natsuyasumi are good. He's also probably on the spectrum or has OCD.
>>738416076It's crazy how the girl's side games had none of those problems with their translations
the video is fine. He just talks about every single gameplay thing with a story attached (which may or may not be an excuse to include doomshotgun.wav)also it's like 5 hours so it's easy to forget>>738417195for me, it's the spy game of who the FUCK is bombing me seriously, tokimeki1 isn't even a real game if you don't have like 7 girls active
>>738418349He's just severely narcissistic.
>>738418269I can't remember what game it was, maybe dragon quest 11, but him portraying himself as anything but a total dork completely took me out, and he was describing himself as this hotshot popular kid in college which I can immediately call bullshit on.There's no shame in not being popular, especially in college where you can afford to go all in on academics and work, but don't look at me with your Poindexter stare and try and sell me on how cool you were/are
You guys are all tasteless assholes his reviews are heartfelt and genuinely enjoyable try to open your souls to something other than porn or gore for once in your lives
>>738418349Nah it's a way of building narrative they teach writers.
>>738418281my friend4chan is a 24 hour shitpost
>>738418493>hotshot popular kid in college
>>738412990Based on his face, I would not click on this.And I have no interest in an ancient dating sim.I think it was referenced in La-Mulana though.
>>738418496you're being manipulated to care about someone who is using your attention for monetary gain
>>738418619I really wish I could remember what video it was. But he pretends like he was completely aloof to video games but a dormmate got a copy of quake or doom or smash bros or some shit (which he was naturally really good at btw :^)), but he wasn't super interested because he was more of a "go to parties" guy and less a "video games guy"
so is this a Tokimeki thread, an eceleb thread, or a dating sim thread?
>>738418839All 3.
>>738412990Has anyone else realized there's a certain look to white people who live in japan? It's hard to articulate
>>738418839eCeleb thread, apparently, given that people who've watched the video say that none of the OPs content is about any of the video games being played. It's like an AVGN thread, where everybody is just mad about the video, except that nobody is going to watch a 6 hour video to comment about it.
>>738418496I went through a tim rogers phase.But after a while you realise he's bullshitting you, and he has nothing but contempt for everyone.The "heartfelt" stories are mostly lies, it's part of an act. He's infamous for it.He's a very good writer at times, (when he stays on topic), but don't get fooled by his horse shit made up stories.
i fuckin love that video, seen it twice. all his action button review are kino, though i wasn't a fan of the LA noire one. tim rogers is the best tho. no one else in the game is like him. (bubbus)
so recommend some good vidya essays then
>>738412990>He doesn't even get to the most basic of gameplay mechanics aside of the shit you literally see on screenWestern people not play Dating sims and the entire genre is a joke in Japan. There isnt nothing special in Tokimeki itself
For me it's ninomae ina'nis
>>738412990I like this review https://youtu.be/SSi7cKvyQ3wand not just because I made it. apologies in advance for shilling but tell me what you think if you like it or hate it since this thread clearly has nothing to do with video games anyway
Oh shit anon, your theme is playinghttps://youtu.be/StOMRp4ZnIc?si=36l75o2Rmc5raAt_
>>738419604>shredder browses /v/ I struggle to believe this. I really liked your Dragon Quest reviews. What do you think of the remakes?
>>738412990He definitely explains that ignoring love bombs tanks your relationship with every girl, otherwise I wouldn't know about itYou either like his videos and tangents or you don't. He's always talking about the game, but sometimes it's a few layers removed. >>738419178Agreed, though I haven't seent he LA Noire one yet. Maybe this weekend. I can't believe he maintains that voice the entire time.
>>738419604>40 minAlright Anon, I'll watch your video. After the current one I'm listening to is done, at least.
>>738419698I haven’t played them because I wanted them on switch 2 but it was a game key card. But I’ve heard II is like a completely different game in a good way. I don’t typically like the HD2D look, but for some reason I do for these. Recently I’ve been playing around with the GBC ports.>>738419752Hell yeah
>>738412990This is the same autistic guy who talked about the ff7 translation just to talk about some girl he knew who killed herself right
>>738419870Thanks for the answer. I'll stay subbed for now, God bless
>>738419910yes
>>738419910Did you also know he SPEAKS JAPANESE
>>738419870GBC Dragon Quest 3 added medals (things you can collect from monsters) and a few mechanics related to that. I think that was when they introduced "skills", basically magic spells, to the thief and merchant. So there's a bit of something new to play with on DQ3GBC.I don't recall the Game Boy versions of DQ1 or DQ2 being different.

Tim Rogers is one of the few examples left of those 90s nerdy-but-want-to-be-cool kids that hasn't trooned out yet. This type of people has gotten so rare by now that they feel like cryptids.
>>738420532it could still happen. although tim rogers probably has enough status in existing structures that he won't ever feel a need to go trans and gain status that way
>>738420235Takodachi are such a cute design
>>738419604how does jason smell
>mfw Tokimeki mainline is so much better than girls side but fujos utterly dominate the series by popularity
>>738412990I feel like the basic analysis of the game is good. It is indeed weirdly difficult to do the Shiori route compared to all the other girls, and it's an interesting decision to make the main girl the most unattainable unless you cheat, either by replaying the game a bunch of times to plan things out meticulously or just straight up following an internet guide to the letter. There is a bunch of weird thematic and experiential weirdness to explore there for people who actually play the game and discover this that way.
>>738421235Like a true gamer
I have played almost all tokimeki memorial games including the girl side ones.Ask me anything.
>>738412990Nigger how the hell else are you supposed to make a 6 hour 'review' if it isn't 95% autistic rambling?
>>738419604You're based for admitting you're shilling.
>>738421293I think there's still plenty of demand for a tokimemo-like game with cute girls. The fact that Persona 3 to 5 have sold like 30 million copies and have literally orders of magnitude more sales volume and consumer interest than any of Atluses other games, when the only thing that distinguishes them from any other Atlus games is that they have a babby's first tokimemo-lite system tacked on to them, to me is a huge sign that people are DESPERATE for tokimemo style dating sims and will jump on even the crappiest instantiations of them if that's all they have to pick from.Some indie dev is going to fucking hit it absolutely HUGE by making a decent tokimemo game in current day. You could argue Stardew Valley is something like an example of that. The demand is insatiable and any conduit will do
>>738421418post your tier list
>>738421418how does tokimemo compare to other dating sims and other games with dating-sim-like mechanics
>>738421418wtf he reads Japanese
>>738421418do you think they'll make a new tokimemo game at some point?
There's a video of a fat autistic British guy who made a video about Tokimeki 3. It was a good watch.
>>738421795Miyako(4)Yanagi(4)Kyouno(4)Mari(3)Emi(3)Akane(2)Yuuko(1)As the game progress the girls get better but honestly I like the guys better specially in girls side 3, the guys there are hunks, the guys in 1 and 2 are laughable they are like cartoons but 3 oh boy, there are also girls in the girl's side games you can befriend I like girl's 3 Miyo a lot.>>738421836Other games mog hard, tokimeki is basically raise stats, you meet girls by raising a stat to a certain level before x day, if you miss out you don't get to meet that girl anymore, there are some girl that you will meet no matter what though, get girl phone number, take girl on date, raise her likeness, meet certain checks to get good ending, it's very simple like "have x stat over 200, have successfully completed x number of dates and have her likeness towards you be at xx) and then good ending, very simple, in 4 they added more stuff to get the good ending but it's not that complex. Other Sim games are way better in tokimeki you entire gameplay is lookin at the stat screen and diarming bombs. you're bascailly bomberman at the end of the game you're gonna be dating bitches just to disarm that bomb, one strat is to avoid meeting girls you don't care about that way they don't drop bombs on you.>>738422158There is 5 for the switch, I haven't play it yet, I don't think I will i don't have a switch and honestly ti doesn't looks that good.>>7384223053 is very good but also the hardest.
>>738422618He actually tore into 3. The first ten minutes of the vid were dedicated to singing praises to 1 and 2, and the rest of the video was all about how bad 3 was.
>>738422618what are the GOAT sim games if Tokimemo is too simple and boring?
>it's another YouTuber who has a "Japan is my personality"Take that away and what do you have left? Nothing remarkable.
>>738422618so what do other games do better gameplay wise? Stat management ain't it, or it's just bad by comparison? Like Sakura wars did a lot more than the dating parts
>>738422857isn't his thing mostly namedropping celebrities that he's met
>>738421293>fujosIt's yumes. Fujos are fans of gay men, not straight pairings
>>738423020surely there are fujos who pair tokimemo guys with each other
>>738422857His best review is about a Japanese game but the point of the video has nothing to do with Japan
>>738412990Its avant garde pleb. If anything you should applaud his restraint by not going on about how le problematic it is under today's moral panic lens.
>>738422684He probably got filtered, tokimeki 3 is HARD, unlike other games you don't get help from a friend you have to get the girl's phone number(except 1 time a year in a special event) by yourself and also every time you go on a date you have to pick the clothes your character will wear but there are 5 items and if you get 1 item wrong the bitch is gonna give a face, also the minigames are fucking hard, almost impossible. You can also get cucked by this fat fuck btw.One big problem with tokimeki 3 is that you HAVE to get that phone number ASAP, because once you meet a girl she will drop bombs on you unless you regularly take her on dates, and you need her phone number to take her out and she will only give you her phone number if she is happy, so bomb = angry = no phone number, you're fucked.>>738422816>>738422909If you're looking for the feeling of relationship just play a vn some moege really.Events in tokimeki are very short, like 30 seconds, it hardly makes you feel anything, some plots are interesting like Miyako's(tokimeki 4 secret character) but tokimeki it's very shallow in general
>>738423185I liked his point about gamifying lovewhy yes, it is a game with gamified love and a side effect is that the women appear to be vindictive and gossipy a worthy sacrifice on the altar of gameplay
>>738419604Watched your CV1 video way back when it got posted here once. Enjoyed how you went about the Doki Doki video even though it's a game I mechanically just don't enjoy.
>>738423185If anything he's the other way around on the game
Tim Rogers is bizarre in that his "game reviews" are veiled excuses to talk about his real life but also every single aspect of his "real life" is also a fabrication. He claims to speak like 20 languages, to have hyperthymesia, all of his online writing contradicts each other, claims he is related to Mr Rogers, he's written dozens of full length novels which are never published, he was fully mute for 10 years in his childhood, he has never spoken a cuss word in his whole life, he speaks in a fake gruff voice. Basically if you think "his reviews are just an excuse to talk about his life" you're only half there because even that is a facade. Very strange persona but entertaining nonetheless.
>>738425030It's impossible to dissect what's real and what's not so I just go with the flow He writes well either way and makes videos that are way beyond plot summary trash
>>738425030>Does he know?
>>738412990Man, I fucking loved this review. It's so lengthy but entertaining and autistic
>>738425030His Boku video is very personal, I feel like somebody would've disproved some of it if it was bullshit.I also just like the video anyway.https://youtu.be/779coR-XPTw?si=uO625Y_PVHoXVH-M&t=18761
>>738425214>He writes wellsince when?The tokimeki video certainly isn't well written
>>738418382>He talks about every single gameplay thingWrong. He mentions gameplay aspects. never goes in depth in any of themI dare you to say which holiday events are in the game.
>>738426151What is this? It's 6 hours long so it's not well written?
>>738426520Quick anon, the places you can take girls for dates in this simple ass game
>>738426636zoo, amusement park, arcade, park(many parks) ice skating (depending on the saason), go hiking to the mountains, in the amusement park you can pick various events etc.
>>738426636I remember the library, movies, zoo, arboretum, shopping, and theme park, all from his videoThe exact mechanics aren't the point. If I wanted that I would just go on GameFAQS.
>>738412990Tim rogers made a whole career of using games as an excuse to talk about himself, you don't watch his reviews if you aren't interested in him as a person. He was less obnoxious when he used to write gigantic essays for kotaku about living in Japan, I think these 5 hour videos are too much tim rogers.
>>738426784>The mechanics of the game arent the focusYou think you could explain them in 6 hours or less?
>>738426520>>738423185The fact he even considered a 20 minute intermission when he could jave used those 20 to talk about the game is all I needed to hear about this faggot
>>738426869Of course, anyone could. But that isn't what Tim was going for, and doing that would make for a much worse video. There is already plenty of that for many games and all of those videos are bad.
>>738423080Maybe the dudes from 3 since you can do the 3P stuff but that is an incredible minority
>>738426981how dare he make a joke
>>738426983Alright Tokimeki memorialSo, I am japanese and I was dating this japenese girl in kyoto japan, while fucking SUDA 51, did I say Electronic Arts yet? And we were talking in japanese and...
>>738426807>Worked for KotakuThat explains everything.
>>738427065Can you picture an apple in your mind?
>>738412990These games are so weird.Women get mad at you for not trying to date every girl you know.
>>738427147apple? amateur shit I can picture a spinnning 3d wumpa
>>738427147is the apple japanese?
>>738425030>He claims to speak like 20 languagesYeah, his linkdin shows he only knows japanese, and some chinese.>he has never spoken a cuss word in his whole lifeThis one is amazingly brazen because his Kotaku reviews are still online for everyone to see, and they are absolutely filled with "fucks" and "shits".On insert credit he claimed he has degrees in Journalism, Linguistics, Statistics and a couple more. But again, his linkdin shows he only has a horse shit half assed "culutral studies" degree. lol
>>738427372He spends a lot of time talking about the culture Tokimeki Memorial was made in and I'm not sure why it bothers you so much
>>738425214>It's impossible to dissect what's real and what's notIt's simple.If Tim Rogers says it, it's bullshit.>>738426520What's this? It's 6 hours long so therefore it's well written?
>>738427453Yes, and after he made this clear and simple point. He keeps coming back to it for no reason 6 hours in
>>738427385Oh and he made his linkdin private when he found out people were checking it
>>738427109We're talking so many years ago, he wrote that shit before woke journalists even existed. Tim rogers is probably somewhat woke though he mostly keeps it to himself, he does a podcast with Brandon Sheffield who is a cardboard cut-out of a commie cult Californian game journalist who was probably partly responsible for the implosion of lab zero games. He was hired as a writer on indivisible and i remember him vaguely alluding to decapitating "problematic" game studio leads, even when they seem irreplaceable a few months before the entire team went woke and tried to fuck mikeZ out of his own company. you cant be an american game journalist and not either be a piece of shit or have links to disgusting people.
>>738427825>worked on indivisiblethere is no blacker mark >as a writeroh GOD how BLACK it is
>>738427385His claim is that he has never spoken a cuss word *out loud*, he still includes them in writing but never spoken. Supposedly this is because his mom told him as a kid that everyone says swears and he bet with her that he never would.
>>738413360Tokimeki memorial is a cult classic because it ISNT an average romance novel dating sim
>>738412990does he talk about how communism is great ?
>>738428054yeah but to be clear that's not the guy in the OP its his podcasting co-host. Tim rogers isn't an average kotaku political propagandist, he was just an old school, weird autistic freelancer who had insight into the japanese game industry because he was hanging out with jap game devs and worked with people like suda 51.
>>738421753>I think there's still plenty of demand for a tokimemo-like game with cute girls.I sincerely doubt it. There's a reason they stopped making games like this, and there's a reason that to this day Konami doesn't bring this series overseas. People, and especially English speakers, just aren't interested in this type of game. You don't even have to speculate. Just look at the fan translation of Tokimeki Memorial. Despite 25 years of being a white whale "never ever" game among people who care about fan translations, it came out to almost zero fanfare and no one played it. Look at it's download count on cdromance. If you search "English patched" and sort by popularity, it's on page 9. There's almost 300 fan translations that have more downloads than it. Notice how we are over 130 posts deep into a thread ostensibly about the game and the name Shiori has only be written one time. Dating sims have never been popular in the English speaking world and they never will be.
>>738428367no he talks about pixel pussy and how wacky it is with a tangent about irl tomboy pussy that loops back into pixel tomboy pussy
>>738418493I doubt he was a "cool guy" in school, but rich kids like him can be pretty lame/nerdy and still have a lot of friends in school because of the money their family has etc..
>>738428619idkvideos about it have millions of viewstokimeki memorial might be a small name beyond it's inherent entertainment value as an "other," but everybody knows what a dating sim is. People wrongly call the persona series a dating sim. One to get released would get buzz, I think that's obvious - especially with the indie game media pipeline
>>738428850Persona isn't called a "dating sim" it is just considered to have elements of dating sims added into a JRPG, which it does, objectively.
>>738413360>AmagamiSeiren blew you cuckolds the fuck out
>>738428637Actually he starts talking about irl bussy (japenese, of course) before he even gets to the game.
>>738428850There is one video that almost breaks into the "millions of views" category. It's the one in OP. Even then, it's not even the most popular video on that guys channel. People watch it despite it being about Tokimeki Memorial. Not because of.
>>738429007Seiren mentionedno it goddamn fucking didn't alternate universe baka senpai
Amagami is dogshit
>>738412990Holy fuck what an annoying voice this gut has
>Over 50% of the video is him in different camera angles instead of the game on screen
Who is worse? Super eye patch wolf (Muh depression)? Or action button?
>>738412990>he doesn't like doom eternal Not sure how I feel about that.
>>738412990>I feel for the fucking meme holy shitisn't that all his reviews? i skipped through the doom review and it was the same shiti dont understand why this is popular, some people are just beyond brain dead
>>738429947I had never watched him at allIt felt weird reading the comments to the tokimeki videoEveryone was just praising him and talking about, like fucking cultist behaviour
>>738429849I don't think I ever felt compelled to increase playback speed for action button
>>738412990if there's one thing i'm glad for it's the video making more people aware of the distinction between dating sims and your standard VN
>>738429260Slutneki singlehandedly destroyed your franchise, to the point where it will never ever recover
>>738412990>Don't watch the video>Make some shit up>post threadyep it's Gaming™ time
>>738429849Haven't watched Super EPW since the Simpsons videoHis original Bleach video was on point and he cucked out with his re-review
>>738425030So hes just making shit up to manipulate viewers?
>>738430136Tokimemo is in a weird situation where his video is far more popular than the game itself, so any discussion about the game devolves into discussion about the video.
>>738430449that doesn't unfuck, uncrash, unburn, and undo the shit sniffing fantasy of Seirennosleep-chan will forever be restless
>>738412990Most vidya essayists or "reviewers" are vocab constrained retards compared to this guy. This alone makes him stand out, even if he's a narcissistic piece of shit. They can't tell a story, they can't write, they can barely give any input. They are really fucking boring. They make those shitty longform videos all the same, except they just retell the story of whichever subject they choose to "talk" about and they do it in a dull as fuck manner.
>>738431025Ok nigga but talk about the game more than about yourself
>>738431102It's six hours of him talking about the game
>>738431218He really only focuses on the game in the first and 2nd playthrough sectionLime 40% of the video btw
>>738431102there's only so many things you can say about a game that aren't about superficial. if you think games are art, then how a game makes the player feel is natural and that action button's reviews are normal then since he's speaking on his own personal behalf. the people who make game review videos who just recount the plot or gameplay is like someone recounting what instruments and lyrics are in an album for music
>>738431393Nope the entire time he is talking about the game in some wayTalking about the company and people that made the game is still talking about the game Talking about how the people that played the game talk about the game and what they made based on playing the game is also still talking about the game
>>738431556>there's only so many things you can say about a game that aren't about superficialSo dont make a 6 hour video if you do t have shit to say about it?
>>738431736There are far more important things to talk about art than what pigments were used for the paints or what kinds of brushes the artist used or what the canvas was made of
>>738431789Pretentious fuck
>>738431942Nah, you're just an idiot
I remember seeing a Tokimeki Memorial thread on 2ch a few months ago where everyone was very upset about some sort of drama one of the voice actors was involved in. I couldn't make heads or tails of what the fuck they were going on about. Anyone hear of this?
>>738431942>TELL ME THE PLOT OF THE GAME DONT TELL ME HOW THE ART MADE YOU FEELnigga just go on vndb, wikipedia, or erogamescape
>>738431973Being an idiot is art
>>738432046DARE to be stupidtherefore, dating Yukari
>>738432046More like kitsch
>>738431789>>738432009>videogames are artOh shit we are now arent we?Also >click video reviewing the game>NO DONT REVIEW THE GAME DUMBASS
You can really tell the fags that are insecure in these threads to the point of projecting. Tim Rogers isn't a narcissist, he doesn't think he's cool, and he isn't on some 3smart5u shit. Dude constantly insists that he's not special. He's just autistic. He's one of those Gifted and Talented kids; special needs because his brains are shit in a way that min-maxes for turbo-autism. So much so that a part of the personal narrative he's selling is that he's autistic. His reviews equal parks comprehensive talk-abouts as they are character study on his relationship to the games.Nevermind the cucks like >>738422857 who clearly haven't watched enough/any of his shit to get that the point is turbo-autism. Literally the opening of most his FF7 translation videos is just "I lived in Japan for X years. You can do that too. Move to Japan and then don't leave for X years." To insist that there's 'nothing remarkable' left only highlights having no experience with his history of reviews or how unique he is in the contemporary overwrought overlong review zeitgeist.
>>738432094>i clicked on a review of someone treating a game like art and not just some retard slowly repeating the plot like that eyepatch wolf guy and this makes me upsetgo. to. wikipedia.
>>738412990ye got to admit, he got a rise out of ye didn't he? eh?
>>738414980>his life japanDidn't that turn out to be complete fabricated bs?
Tokimeki Memorial IS cyberpunk.
>>738432262No?
>>738432160Damn you left his dicm squeaky clean broDont waste any drops, now
>>738432160TL;DRIt doesn't invalidate that anon's point. The faggot only uses videogames as a soapbox for talking about his life in Japan on the virtue that he is white. Fuck off.
>>738420532He genuinely stands out as an inspiration to me by how much he sticks to his principles, he's like the ultimate video essayist, e-celeb douchebag.It's different from someone like Pirate Software because despite the incessant narcissism it's almost like he's self aware and knowingly avoids pushing the parasocial envelope any further, just completely avoiding the possibility of ever getting cancelled by people getting butt hurt that he's not all what he claims to be. Nobody can call him out on his bullshit because nobody knows if he's actually shitposting or just lying. And yet he still managed to carve himself out a small cult of personality on his youtube channel and patreon. Not even bringing up how good he is at narrating a tale about shit that doesn't matter. It really reminds me of that quote from Orwell. It takes talent to be this dedicated to the grift, so much so he makes other youtubers look like they're running lemonade stands on the street. I just checked and he has like 10k members on his patreon or something stupid like that. It's just crazy
>>738429849Eye Patch Wolf for sure.Guy can't do critical analysis to save his fucking life, so resorts to just summarizing the major beats of anything, presenting it in a dramatic way, and then exalting that it's GOOD.Ironically, this does make his wrestling videos pretty good encapsulations of the relevant storylines if you didn't watch the dozens-to-hundreds of matches required.Unfortunately, man tried too hard to pull Creepy Pasta clickbait slop, felt the need to publicize his dogshit BLEACH takes, and never really grew his platform in a way that's felt meaningful.Say what you want about Tim Rogers, but at least he's meaningfully iterating on his bits if not doing some wildly new shit like that LA Noire Longplay.
>>738432160>By the end of the video he mentions he has 6 ingame months left>He went so little over how you actually play the game I have no point of reference for how long that isIt could seriojsly be anywhere from another 10 mins of gameplay to 20 hours.Does the ff-like combat have any depth to it? Or is it just spam attack?What are the penalties for failing events?
>>738418493in an extreme leftoid city and college, he definitely could have been a popular guy. real life hasn't been like the movies that use 80's tropes for a very long time unfortunately. the chad football player is heckin cancelled.
>>738430595>Bleach video was on pointJust parroted a lot of the same tired takes that speedreaders had for eons. Illiterate faggots still crying about their "Kurosaki-kuns" and no backgrounds.
>>738432160This. You can really tell how low IQ someone on /v/ is based on their poor reaction to Kino Button videos, and also how feminine and wounded they are when they overblow that one story he made up fourteen years ago that they never read.
>>738412990>he knows most of its audience doesnt know japanese>he still left most of the shit untranslated and acted like we all got it
>>738432331Yes? Just like him having like 10 academic degrees, having worked with Suda51, writing a dozen books etc etc Mf is like a middle school kid who needs to constantly aggrandize his otherwise mundane life in order to look special. Except this fucker is pushing 40 now.>>738432514>>738432160Get a fucking tripcode, Tim
>>738432514>>738432160You can tell this guy is a fan of Tim Rogers because he needs a wall of text to say jackshit
>>738432451>He connects personal moments (fictitious or otherwise) to game experiences in a way that illustrates how the game functions on a personal level. The fact he lived in Japan is just context around that.>Nuh uh it's just an excuse to talk about living in Japan as a white guyWhat's it like being terminally retarded?
>>738432981>>738433042I'm not that other faggot attempting to suck his cock, I'm simply saying he stands out by how bare he's laying the template to be a successful youtube grifter, but of course that wouldn't matter to you zoomer goyim who can't even read
>>738433082>in a way that illustrates how the game functionsthat's not true though, he says nothing about the game
>>738433082Thats coolWhen is he connecting his stories to the game tho?
>>738432849I just don't buy it.I'll buy that he had an ecclectic friend groupI'll buy that he got along with just about anybodyI will not buy that by any stretch of the imagination he was popular or at all sought after.t. A decently popular college kid
>>738433132He walks you through the entire thing twice.
>>738433197without actually explaining how the game functions, plot summaries aren't game reviewsyou played the game right?
>>738433042>>738432981Wild to think there might be people who care enough to express what they find worthwhile about [THREAD TOPIC] in a thread discussing [THREAD TOPIC].Stay knuckle-dragger mode with your anti-intellectual zoomer-assed 'bruh six sentences wall of text' level of critical engagement.
>>738432160I dont watch tim rogers shit because I don't care about e-celebs but I read his articles when he was younger and I used to read his website. He does have narcissistic traits and did think he was cool. Every opinion he ever held was assessed for its ability to make himself interesting, he's an old ass man now so he mellowed out but the fundamental personality traits still exist and that is what people are reacting to.
>>738433197So he just walks you thru the game?how lame of this dude
>>738414241how do you watch it. i used to have upload bookmarked but it's gone. i only have season 2 ;_;
>>738433412I'd love to walk you through a game sometime, anon-chan
>>738433302>Anti-intellectualthis nigga feels intelligent defending TIM FUCKING ROGERS
>>738433436it's on nyaa
>>738433175He didn't claim to be popular. His stories from college are about how landmark games like FF7 and Goldeneye bridged the gap between some nerds and preps, and how the stoners in your dorm would tolerate you if you were the guy that owned a console and four controllers. It happened. James Rolfe has the same story about college in his biography.
>>738433249You watched the video with your eyes closed right?
>>738433490James Rolfe was in special ed classes and the balls on the dickIts already proven Tim lies, he was not popular
>>738419604Fuck off you retard bitch I really like that game. Love the channel though, you're one of the few gaming youtubers worth watching.
>>738432981bro he is a big enough faggot as it is. you don't need to make stuff up about him. none of what you said is true other than the pushing 40 thing and even that's not really correct. he is 46. he is past "pushing 40" anyway you're gay desu
>>738433453>laughing at insecure and donkeybrains people equates to a defense>attack that as a point of authority to sidestep admitting that anon's so fucking stupid to call a regular post a 'wall of text'Nigga, I might be dumb as bricks for all it matters but it makes your ass dumber than bricks.
>>738433453retarded nintendie
>>738433554Unpopular enough to interview Kojima in 2004, I guess.
>>738433535I literally opened the video and skipped anywherewhat am I seeing?
>>738433472thank you my prince
>>738433490>>738433554its crazy to me to see people arguing about the legitimacy of some millenial guys college years, are you uncs just mad u couldnt go through the same shit yourselves or what is it
i cant believe tim rogers of tim rogers fame posts on /v/ defending himself against tim rogers haters
>>738433713I fail to see the reason to suck his dickJust like tobyfox dickriderswhat compels a man to defend another man that doesn't even know they exist, online?
>>738433784he unironically reminds me of toby fox a lot too, youre right, the level of parasocial fanatism and anger this guys name can invoke is just crazy to see
>>738433713I had the same glow op in college, so it's completely believable. So did Moot. Oldfags on this site are chads compared to zoomerjeets of today, as evidenced by how many of them became successful grifters.
>>738433082>What's it like being terminally retarded?That's rich coming from someone who defends action button. Wasting 6 fucking hours on this horse shit video being praised by sycophants.>Cries about how his Japanese manager saying he wouldn't understand Boku no natsuyasumi.>Goes on a long ramble about his life back in the states, about revisiting a mall he has been since his teenage years. And it somehow relates to the game because it evokes muh nostalgiaFuck off with this pretentious shit. He worked for Kotaku. That's already a massive red flag. Go huff his farts.
>>738433895Moot got his bussy pounded by Jeffery Epstien, he is not a great example.
>>738434138Moot got unlimited 3d lolis?
>>738412990He's a long time game journalist, should have clued you in.
>>738432160Having the nerve to calling someone a cuck while defending this faggot. >Dude constantly insists that he's not special. He's just autistic. He's one of those Gifted and Talented kids; special needs because his brains are shit in a way that min-maxes for turbo-autismThat is him being narcissistic and trying to brush it off as being autistic. Making up excuses like a true cuck.
>>738434013>Why would his review about summer vacations have a segment about him going on vacation in it?
>>738434183autistic people couldnt possibly consistently lie for 9 hours straight, its true. people on the spectrum are to be manipulated, not manipulators
>>738432160>You can really tell the fags that are insecureSays the one defending Tim Rogers. Lashing out like woman because people rightfully call him out on his bullshit.
>>738434237So you are on the spectrum?
>>738434227So he can jerk off in front of everyone and get sycophants like you to part from your money.
>>738431025I'd rather watch Majuular
>>738434153No. He got turned into the little girl.
>>738434237>autistic people couldn't possibly consistently lie for 9 hours straight, its true.>He's autistic that means he can't lie!Fucking stupid take. People have called out on his credentials on linked in. He has lied about his personal life. He worked for Kotaku so his faggotry knows no bounds. Autism is not an excuse to handwave the manipulation and garbage he spews.
Tim is in this thread, isn't he?
>>738434297i take it i hit the nail on the head?>>738434451thats what i said. hes lying about the autism too
>>738433042>You can tell this guy is a fan of Tim Rogers because he needs a wall of text to say jackshitLMAO
>>738434324>anon stated on a forum dedicated to a consumerist hobby that he never contributed to or earned anything fromOh no, I'm a fan of the winning team, hated by a bunch of nodev neet cretins.
>>738431556>there's only so many things you can say about a game that aren't about superficial.Then why make a 6 hour video? People claim he's a good writer, but I disagree. If he wants to get his point across then he could sure apply some brevity here. Not over 6 hours.
>Hello everyone, welcome to my review of Tetris. In the game Tetris you move blocks as they fall. This reminds me of the time that my uncle caved my mother's skull in with a concrete block in the middle of the drive way of my childhood home. This experience would then lead to me becoming.. Blah blah blahIt's supposed to be a review of a video game, not a vlog.
>>738434645>fan of the winning teamHow deluded are you? Are you subscribed to his patreon? Is that why you're defending him? He's a fucking hack and only redditors like you get taken for a ride, when some people can clearly see that his "content" is nothing more but fluff.
>>738434743You should start a youtube channel and setup a patreon. You will be swimming in money in no time! And when someone calls you hack, just say your autism got in the way.
>>738434670The lack of brevity is a feature, and probably also an intentional filter for types of people that slept through school. Snappy "angry" reviews are long played out.
>>738434854>lack of brevity is a feature>lack of brevityOh, give me a fucking break. You cannot stop sucking this guy's prick enough to the point of embarrassment. Who are you kidding? One of the hallmarks of good writing is brevity! What is the point of rambling about something that goes fucking nowhere? Jesus Christ.
>>738412990I've watched his reviews multiple times but I barely remember anything about what was stated. Put them on to fill the void; Background Noise. The best reviews are ones I can remember something from.Any essay longer than around 4 hours (that's not like a compilation of an ENTIRE franchise, e.g. that Bomberman Series review) is always disappointing, it means there's more fluff than substance, the host fails to articulate their points efficiently so they usually just repeat shit over and over.idk I watch a lot of reviews. RS and their clones are the peak.>>738419604Fine I'll put it in my watch later and put it on the side monitor ig '_ '
>>738434743Action Button in a nutshell.
You people sure know a lot about the lifes of complete strangers online.
>>738434781I'll be transparent with you this one time. I bought one (1) Truck Heck shirt because it looked cool. I've never used Patreon. I was around to see the rise of dudes like Lowtax, Seanbaby, Tucker Max, Egoraptor, James Rolfe, Sam Hyde. I was around to see the eceleb phenomenon unfold in real time. I know who the real winners are based on my lived experiences and seeing the phenomenon play out time and time again. I know how to make a video game which puts me well above the 99th percentile of people in this hobby, and I'd rather get my knowledge from the very few people that can swing harder than me.
>>738419604I think you're a lying piece of shit.
>>738434967That doesn't sound very post-modern.
>>738435643Uh huh, and I suppose you were there when Noah had to build the ark, and you helped him gather two of every animal. Good for you.
>I'll be transparent with you this one time. I bought one (1) Bad Dragon dildo because it looked cool. I've never used OnlyFans. I was around to see the rise of dudes like Sue Lightning, Van Darkholme, Billy Herrington, Egoraptor, OnlyAfro, Sam Hyde. I was around to see the faggot phenomenon unfold in real time. I know who the real winners are based on my gaping asshole and seeing the phenomenon play out time and time again.

Is this the left leaning e-celeb no one sane has ever heard of thread? I liked Grimbeard's new Siren video I thought the jokes were funny.
>>738432160>Tim Rogers isn't a narcissistHe makes 6 hour videos about himself who the fuck are you kidding.
>>738434645>winning teambrainwashed lmao
>>738435803Thanks.You know, it's actually shocking what percentage of the Internet is made up of massive fucking losers. Like, actual physically/mentally challenged neets that have relied on social insurance their whole lives. Not even counting third worlders, it's almost 100%. It really comes out when you hear anons in disbelief that someone took up jogging for two years and got a girls number, or that a weeb was actually able to move to Japan to work for Sony. Especially on a website that was made by a 16-year-old who had connections to Epstein around the same time.
>”review”>it’s just a spoken word recap of his playthroughThis guy is an absolute egomanic.
>>738436362>You know, it's actually shocking what percentage of the Internet is made up of massive fucking losers.Yeah, it's crazy. Talking to you confirms your own statement.>Especially on a website that was made by a 16-year-old who had connections to Epstein around the same time.I don't know why you bring that up, and how it's relevant to the conversation.
>>738436563>I don't know why you bring that up, and how it's relevant to the conversation.Tough shit cominh from a tim rogers fan
>>738428619SNES tokimemo was never going to get people excited. Even the PS1 tokimemo probably wasn't going to get people excited. But I think demand for dating sims of some kind for a male audience is genuine. If you don't think the disparity between persona vs other-atlus makes that obvious, then consider that Dispatch was advertised as "Twilight for dudes" and men flocked to it in droves. Men absolutely want simulated dating, and games that offer it succeed again and again and again.
>>738419604I don't know who you are but I'll watch this before bed
>>738436753>Tough shit cominh from a tim rogers fanThe fuck are you talking about?
>>738418839Post more dating sims then instead of complaining about it.
>>738436909>Post more dating simsWhy? It's all the same shit.
>>738436909>Game shows you which option is the correct oneDogshit feature for socially inept faceblind autists of the highest degree. Even the virgin NEET otaku of the past were socially intelligent enough to figure out the right choice without this shit
>>738436973Give me dating sim where you can meet, get lied to, date, and save a whore from her customer but she will still cut you off from her life if you dare telling her to quit whoring.
>>738412990Just watch the GCCX episode instead
>>738436909Why would anyone make a game that tells you what the correct option is? Isn't not know half the point of giving you a choice? In Tokimemo they're usually pretty obvious, but sometimes they throw a curve ball at you.
>>738437168The game can trick you with that same hint at one point. If you let your slut friend selling her used panties at shady story, her affection points will go up but it'll get capped so you will can never reach her ending e.g. you will forever be just her fuck buddy. If you pick the "bad" option, she later rethink her choice, thanks (you) for that, get serious with (you) and stops sleeping around. You can date other woman afterwards and she just waiting outside your room knowing that she has no right to get jealous because that's what she has done to you before she cleaned up. She just smiles then walks away.
>>738434645>hated by a bunch of nodev neet cretins.What does that have to do with anything? You cannot criticize something unless you have contributed something to the videogame industry. Like it's mutually exclusive? Get the fuck over yourself. His fans are just as insufferable as he is.
>>738412990Nakey Jakey and Pandemonium both brutally mog him. The former is more concise and funnier, and the latter makes top notch vidya documentaries.
>>738437358It saves time. Let's be honest, nowadays people would just reload a save/use savestate anyway especially for harder to get girls.
>>738412990> The Tifa Aerith pump machine video is the best part of his streams.
>>738437714why not watch a fucking video if you're just gonna follow a fucking guide without deviation?
>>738432854He never mentioned Orihime's Kurosaki-kun's though(which did happen in the Japanese manga)His point was that the series went downhill after Soul Society arc which is something most people agree with except for you minority BleachtranniesHe was also right about Bleach going down in the rankings over time, and you trannies sent him death threats
>>738437765Because there's still some stuff that hint mode doesn't tell you e.g. you have to befriend both a tsundere tomboy and her shy friend in order to get one of of their ending, one girl will immediately cut you off from her ending if she caught you date another girl, one girl requires you to never fuck any girl while keep triggering her flags at various places (she's undatable btw), you have to get girl to date at specific place to get special CGs, etc. just because you know the "correct" choice doesn't mean it reveals everything to you.
>>738437714Yeah, games should be smeared in yellow paint that makes sure you know exactly what to do at all times. I'm a working adult with limited time to play video games. I don't have time for things like thinking and problem solving. Oh, and God forbid my actions have consequences that I can't immediately undo by loading a save. My day is already so stressful! I play video games to relax. I can't deal with the stress of the cartoon girl frowning at me.
>>738412990he does explain the consequences to ignoring the lovebombs though
>>738438094So you want being able to make mistakes but not the consequences of making mistakesgot it, pal
>gamers forcing themselves to consume kino>begrudginglyTim Rogers reviews are ironically the proof that Roger Ebert was right all along about games not being art, although not for the reasons he stated.
>>738438305Where is the kino?
>>738438462Art cultures it's audience.Tim Rogers reviews cultures his audience.Gamers spend thousands of hours engaging with their "art form" and are the least cultured swine in existence.
>>738438210Any games with manual save/load don't have consequences whatsoever, why is this a problem? You can even turn it off if you want to torture yourself.
>>738438530>Games are art>Tim Rogers reviews cultures his audience>This nigga somehow thinks foodies and sports fans are more intelligent than Vidya playersYour entire post is a joke

You all should listen to the fusion arrangement album they did for Tokimemo. It's really good.https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/kukeiha-club-pro-fusion-tokimeki-memorialIt's kinda insane how many CD soundtracks Konami released for this game. I know it had a really strong merchandising push in Japan, but this list is something else.https://vgmdb.net/product/5390
>>738412990He looks like the kinda of "anime fan" that would spontaneously combust if you showed him Kodomo no Jikan
>>738439240God forbid
>>738418961wormy, pale, anglo fellows?
>>738431025One day, you may figure out that all video essayists types are retarded and that should you reconsider the time you spend even entertaining one.
>>738412990>6 hour review>of which 5 hours is Tim talking about his childhood or time he worked in japan
>>738439414And the other is just talking about how the people who worked on this worked on castlevania, and many jrpgs and castlevania, and software and castlevania
>>738412990I like PrivateSessions but I feel like he's getting worse because of his association with PatricianTV whose videos are lot lower quality. There was an entire 15 minute section of PS's Outer Worlds 2 review dedicated to PatricianTV ranting about completely unrelated random shit. Very strange.
>>738439240>You will become meWho the fuck wants to be a pasty, impotent, and dsygenic twig of a man?
>>738439475He's getting infected by Tim
>>738431025there's a reason why book readers, film goers, etc rely on reviews to influence their purchase decisions whereas gamers rely on let's players.
>>738439518it wasn't a request
>>738439632Come and get me! Tim!
>>738439676>gamer is being transformed into something he doesn't to become>points the gun towards othersgamers are just never beating the allegations
>>738412990He discovered that he can get paid for writing that sort of Infinite Jest style agonizingly self conscious autofiction no one reads anymore because no one reads books anymore period if you pretend it's a video game video essay. It's like the guy who figured out you could sell Jägermeister as a party drink instead of a sipper for old people. It's the sort of genius entrepreneurship that makes America so great and prosperous.
>>738439821>Appeal to the lowest common denominator.Just say that.
>>738439821Infinite Jest is at least well written
>>738439414And what does his life mainly consist of?>Above average, middle class life in suburbia>Went to school, college the whole rigamarole.>Went overseas to work in games journalismThat's it. There is nothing remarkable about him.
>>738439821Tim Rogers video reviews are a near identical continuation of Tim Rogers text reviews, something he's been doing since the early 2000s long before youtube existed.
>>738413282Theres a TL of the saturn version in progress, but VNDB doesn't have a link. There is this decomp for the PSX going. on.https://tetracorp.github.io/tokimeki-memorialThe Saturn version has a new gameplay feature; the MC can confess to the girl. This kinda goes against the theme of>If the girl confesses to her love under this tree, then they will live happily ever after.Your second game is Amagami>>738413360This one. Yes, there is a complete EN translation, but it has some issues.
>>738440203So does this change anything the other poster said?
>>738440139His gimmick is that he has near perfect memory, iirc there's an actual medical term for his condition, he keeps bringing up anecdotes that he thinks are funny.Only video he did that I actually liked is him recalling with perfect accuracy first ~2 hours of Link's Awakening and explaining what makes it well designed. I think that was back when he worked for kotaku.
Kud Wafter...
Observe my perfect recall ability: watching a longplay of a game before making a video so I can describe the intro of said game
>>738440487>Links awakening>well designedNot the fucking item switching sim that could have had passive fucking items for the bracelet and boots
>>738440215>going onYeah about that...
>>738425030I only watched like 10 minutes of the Tokimeki vid and he talks like a classic schizo. Props to him if it's a character but he just seems like an escaped mental patient to me, no idea how his vids are doing so well.
>>738441057Oof. What's the homepage for the Saturn TL?
>Heh, my E-celeb is better than you because he made video gamesThe games he made:>Pong, but with pool sticks instead of paddles >Space Invaders, but the enemies appear on the side of the screen instead of the topThe rest is just localizing (AKA he replaces the scripts of Japanese games with fanfiction) and "helped with design at Grasshopper" (AKA he hung out with Suda and got a pity credit)>Muh verbose reviews = geniusBrevity is the soul of wit>Muh heckin' wholesome life anecdotesDon't belong in reviews. Start a vlog channel or a blog website for that instead>Muh perfect recallReading out a summary of a game's story isn't impressive I had never even heard of this faggot until that anon started sucking his cock for an entire thread. He doesn't seem particularly impressive at all. Just another leach on the industry that snuck in through journalism and localization
>>738443079>The rest is just localizingWhat games did he butcher?
>>738442416There isn't one. The hacker posts about it in the SegaXtreme Discord very occasionally, but that's it. If you're asking because you want to play it, you should just play the SFC version. It's going to be a while before any English language alternatives are available. People greatly exaggerate how much of a downgrade the SFC version is, in no small part thanks to Mr. Rogers here running his mouth about it in a Kotaku article covering the patch. The whole article is just bitching about the version. It's pathetic.
>>738442379>he just seems like an escaped mental patient to me
>>738417889He had an absolutely amazing piece about how he watched as microtransactions got invented at a pitch meeting he was atI can excuse a lot of this shit for that one single landmark of a piece
>>738443250But I want the voices. It shoud be noted, that SFC and PC-engine both share the same video resolution. The one thing that the cartridge version does have is over ~FWY~ is that the duller backgrounds let the chara sprites standout more.I looked at the Windows versionon on YT, and it looked different when I compared it to a PSX screentshot, like it was redrawn, again.
i liked that video and the boku no natsuyasumi one. didn't watch the LA noire one though
we really got this far without even asking who best girl was?it's Mira, btw
>>738443198His MobyGames has three localization creditshttps://www.mobygames.com/person/455785/tim-rogers/credits/>Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (2019, Nintendo Switch)>Dandy Dungeon: Legend of Brave Yamada (2019, Nintendo Switch)>Million Onion Hotel (2017, Android)I can't speak for the other two games, but I played both his translation and the fan translation of Moon and I don't recall there being any major discrepancies between them so I don't know what anon is going on about.
>>738443662I'm a simple man, I see childhood friend, I picked her first. But damn, walkthrough is practically required to get her.
>>738425030I had a phase where I was rewatching several of Tim Roger's long-ass reviews and from what I've heard of him describing his personal life the details were mostly consistent. Having hyperthymesia would definitely make some of his claims sound contradictory on the surface but if you have a disorder that makes you remember every minute detail of your life chances are you're gonna remember things that most people attempting to remember their childhood would have unconsciously swept under the rug.
>>738417889>He just uses games as a way to draw people in.so clickbait?
>>738412990It's considered good because it's a carbon copy MrBeast's old videos/conent before he became what he is today. People love 3000+ hour high stamina videos where someone just keeps talking on and on and on about shit because the average person isn't this dedicated.
>>738443963"People"
>>738443662Didn't play the gameWhich girl actually gets the most development?
>>738443662I liked Mira more than I thought I would, though the best girl is obviously Yuina.I'm not really sure what it says about me that, in a game fully of lovely women who are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about you, I gravitate toward the toxic ones whose idea of a good time is being a jerk to you.
>>738412990I feel like these people are grown in a lab to produce slop to waste people's time
Niggers watch sone fucking dating sim review and cry where is the gameplay?? Dating sims arent even games they are cope for lonely virgin niggers. Embarassing that there is even 1 person here playing dating sims. Get help. Literally go stand in front of a mirror and look at yourself, disgusting.
>>738444632I think that's implied to be Mio? The glasses girl. She confesses that she thought she wasn't gonna get love and spurned love in turn then accepts you love her and welcomes you inThe game also kind of has a boss character, Shiori, who kind of requires meta knowledge to get the ending of, but also not really (it's more reasonable to say that it requires more game time to win her over and since you can't rewind, you may have run out of time before you knew what to do) and shiori has a little bit of the same gimmick but peppers in her storyline all throughout the game if you pay attention - she feels bad about the MC and her growing distant and then accepts that that crap is now in the past and wants a future with himall are cute
>>738444660I think Mira and Ayako are the only girls who react positively to getting called sexy in their swimsuitshow mysterious that they are the best
>>738444831dating sim has no gameplay but this bitch rejected my love confessionhow'd that happen
>>738444632If by development you mean "character development" in the narrative sense then the answer is no one since this game has practically no story whatsoever. It's a system game through and through. Their date dialogue in the last month of the game is exactly the same as it is in the first. Some of the endings vaugly allude to some sort of nebulous characters arcs, but I don't consider it substantial enough to really count.If by development you mean "who is the most fleshed out / who has the most content" then, rather impressively, everyone is more or less equal (sans a few secret characters but their routes are more gimmicks than anything). It's not like Shiori has a bunch more cutscenes because she is the cover girl. The devs did every permutation of everything for everyone. They all have way more scenes than you will ever possibly see in one playthrough.>>738445018Yuina and Yukari do too. I don't remember if I tried Yumi, but her whole gimmick is that she likes to be treated like an adult so it wouldn't surprise me if she did too.
>>738412990>>738415360I feel like if these videos were instead written in a book and published perhaps 150 years ago then we'd be forced to read them and learn about whatever retarded "Stream of Conciousness" or "Authorial Character Depth Analysis" in High School English class
what are some good dating sims? was going to play bloody bride but the text autoskip sometimes and it bothered me too much
>>738445379there's true love on asenheim project tokimeki memorialsakura warsuhhhhhhhhif you speak Japanese there's more
>>738443662In 1, it's Saki for me. In 2, personally I enjoyed Mei's interactions the most but I feel terrible cucking Hikari every time. Runner up medal for Kaori for having an actual character arc through her interactions.
>>738445252Re: character developmentI should mention that there are some special event dates that you can only unlock after you reach really high affection with a girl, and some of them do connect to the slight character development in their endings, so it's not COMPLETELY nothing, but it's definitely not a focus. With that in mind, Mira is probably the one with the most development since she gets two (relatively compared to everything else in the game) lengthy cutscenes about her arc.
>>738445160Bombs are artifical difficulty.You didn't lose.
>>738443605I remember seeing an anon on /vr/ say something about working on an MSU-1 patch to add full voice acting to the Super Famicom version, so maybe that will be an avenue that opens up at some point. Who knows if that's even real though.
Professional larper
>>738423268Based Tokimeki 3 enjoyer. That game is an absolute mess, but it had some fun ideas. I like that they made it so that each girl only knows a handful of other girls. Feels more realistic to me than having an oracle who knows everyone. The implementation for some of things are absolutely busted, like the clothing system, but I think the ideas are good in theory. I even think the 3D is kind of impressive for the era, even if it looks clunky today.
>>738443662For my money, it's Ayako.
>>738412990Is he still lying about his superhuman memory?
>>738443662Yuina, easily
>>738449761How many times have you posted this over how many years
>>738449694absolutely saucy1994 bitch
>>738412990The length is ridiculous but some people like that kind of thing. My issue with his review is that he paints this weird narrative that Tokimeki was some sort of unrivaled gem despite the fact that at the time it wasn't considered much better than other dating sims; the only reason it was so successful was because it had the full force of Konami behind it, a huge gaming company, while the other games essentially were made by scrappy indie studios. Tim Rogers is gay for shilling for Konami while dismissing the developers who actually innovated, all because he wanted to spend 6 hours telling his personal stories of how much of a loser he was.
>>738449925once
>>738452301Sure anon, sure
There's no way this wasn't intentional, right? T2 is 91. Tokimemo is 94.
>>738412990Isn't this the same vlog essayist fucktard who defended the idiotic bongistani Doom2 review that said "If only you could talk to these creatures" in a nearly 3 hours long vid?
>>738457452He shit on that review in a 3 hour video so you're close
>>738449925I can't remember.
>You don't understand, this is an <authentic> Buzz Rickson jacket, the same jacket they wear in the hit book, Neuromancer. You're just not learned enough to appreciate true art
the thread made me replay the gamefirst played it a few years ago but couldn't get the yuina ending so i tried it again and got her this time
>>738458716You don't understand the point even when he started that part of the video by saying what the point wasit's sad
>as you progress through the game you will unconsciously develop the habit of already starting to rotate the camera away from the trinket before Cloud can even complete the "getting" animation. Your brain -knows- this is boring>eventually, at the player's controlling requests the screen-writtenly aloof, cool headed hero type Cloud Strife acquires the erratic, theatrical mannerisms of a histrionic kleptomaniac begging for mall security's heaviest handcuffs>even as you try to soak in the atmosphere, as you try to role play your slowest most sword-backed mosey, trinkets sing from the deep, ruining the mood>even at the dramatic crescendo of the game as the path forward could not be any more apparent and glittery you might find that, perfunctorily, your curiosity compels you to camera-check your corners for tchotchke pockets
fucking Yuina simps all over this place might as well ask who second best girl isIt's Ayako
>>738459091uh oh, we got a little paypiggie right herehow much have you paid Tim to sit around and do nothing?maybe go back to his faggot discord so you don't have to get offended over the mildest criticisms of your idol
>>738459213Was this review the most scared he's been of upsetting a rabid fanbase? Practically everything he had to say about the game was bad but he still ended every section with "but I still like it"It was like a review someone gives while there's a gun to their head
I was so disappointed seeing Bokunatsu becoming a bit more popular only to find out it didn't gain a single new player, people were just watching his video and praising the game without trying it.
>>738443638I wish i could greentext his so called review of the entire Playstation brand to bait anons but it's 40min long.
>>738412990Why konami never release this game in the west?Why is shiori the only girl in bombergirl?
>>738460560No faith in dating sim as a genre to succeed in the west. I don't blame them because it probably wouldn't have worked at the time. A translation probably would have mangled the script too.
>>738459705pointing out that you're too retarded to understand his video when he held your hand through it is not me defending himI doubt he's going to make another good video at this point
>>738443662Only played once and went for Yuina, so I guess her? I was reasonably satisfied. Maybe the blonde guy who reminds me of Kurama from YYH is better. since he's a reverse trap
>>738459798You put your finger right where i dreamed you would so i'll tell you why you misunderstood the review's tone.The premise of a /v/ review is Anonymous using arguments to convince me not to play a game but normal reviewing uses arguments to convince me to play a game, both styles are in opposition, this guy descends from professional reviewing which is different than /v/ reviewing or youtube reviewing. Videogames are good and it is good to play any videogame. Tim's FF7Remake review was scathing you've identified this and yet it's worth playing since it's an interesting videogame. I don't want to play FF7Remake and i didn't, during its release window i was playing Highfleet: Deus in Nobis. He didn't secretly criticize the game but instead openly and accurately criticized the game, it's a game that exists and people can play it or not hence the positive tone permeating the critic. There's no need to be upset even if remaking FF7 really did end up destroying of the world after all.His trinket ultimatum concept will stay in my toolbox for the rest of my short life, it's the perfect description of this game design phenomenon.
>>738462415Even if were things I disliked about FF7 Remake I would never express them here, because giving haters an inch would mean losing ground. The moment Tim expressed a single criticism of the game the video became worthless for my needs, and I considered it more fuel for schizo haters to unfairly use against the game.
>>738462415>it's an interesting videogame. I don't want to play FF7Remake and i didn'tSo not that interesting thenyou didn't miss anything
>>738412990>6 hour reviewI'll take an "It's fun," over this crap.
>>738463464you're supposed to watch small parts of it while taking a shit or eating something
>>738463532It's a video game review, not Lord of the Rings.
>>738462860That's internal politics and we're an asylum for the old insane. What you wrote: giving haters an inch would mean losing ground. It dissolves 4chan like an acid. Thread territory to secure safe spaces, you're right FF7 threads heavily engage in the practice and the behavior crops up in any general or Living Thread, threads meant for anons to merely exist in. How IRL.Are you a child soldier of the internet warzone?
>>738463191What? FF7Remake is a ridiculous exercise like any remake. An original is concerned with synthesizing itself from external themes and components but a remake is entirely concerned with its own original to the point of maniacal obsession and auto-consumption. It's the genetic defect of all remakes in all medium.
I tried watching this video a couple years ago and couldn't last longer than 10 minutes. I hate these insincere, narcissistic hipsters. People say the same thing about Elon but it's narcissistic personality disorder and I don't know how people confuse the two.
>>738464195Oops I was editing my post and removed the "People say this guy is autistic but he's just a narcissist" sentence.
>>738463464The quality and output of my work is proportional to the entertainment and length of the video i'm watching.
>Meticulously blew out some anon last night>Get called a dick sucker, whatever>Went to bed>Half way through work shift>Check /v/>Anons STILL seething about a YouTuber that made them feel stupidCan someone just tell me where all the smart users go nowadays for serious discussion about game design and game history?
>>738461628His route is a cool idea that was executed very poorly. It's very boring and grindy to actually play since all you're doing is calling him over and over and over again with zero variation. The gimmick is that they took the dating out of the dating sim. Very unfun. Also there's only like 3 cutscenes it unlocks so you don't even get an interesting story out of it. They have this whole setup with his family having a private army with men and black and shit and it just doesn't go anywhere. The reason they give for him being a reverse trap is such a cop out, too. If every 3 or 4 phone calls unlocked a new scene and over the course of the game it unveiled an actual adventure game-esque story, it would be awesome. But as it actually is, it feels so under developed.
