I only found these type of videos honest in SMT series, the one for example of playing without buffing or debuffing, which makes one of the bosses mathematically impossible to complete
Youtube being a job was a mistake
>>743799212I saw a video titled "Can you beat Dark Souls using only Black Knight weapons" and I actually got angry. OF COURSE YOU CAN BEAT SOULS WITH THE BEST WEAPONS IN THE GAME
>>743799485I don't understand the purpose of those
>>743804658I say this every thread but for me it was "can you beat Dark Souls using only scythes?" when the Great Scythe is one of the most-recommended beginner weapons because it's one of the best in the game and only requires a quick suicide run into the Catacombs

I like the "guy talking" meta because it makes it more about the text. Grabbing footage for games is a pain in the ass compared to any other visual medium, you spend much more time doing prep work than the actually important part of the video, this meta brings the playing field closer to written articles/reviews.

Luckily I don't watch fagots. Currently watching this guy who does D2 runs with crazy rules and he actually sticks to them.AmbiguousAnohibian is also good even though he does break the rules, but he always tests the rules enough before he makes changes.
>>743807060you dont need to prove it, the audience just wants to see your reactions and thought processmaybe instead of vibrating when you take damage it should vibrate constantly but get stronger the longer you go WITHOUT taking daamge, so then you have to balance the playthrough between taking as much damage as possible and saving health for bad upcoming situations where you know youll be going a long way without being able to take damage and be unable to stop the dildo from drilling a hole in you
>>743806971Wait, you DON'T play games that way?
>>743800341my dad likes videos of women reacting to music. her being a woman is the only qualification.
>>743807058>>turns out no, you can't even get past the tutorialThis is the #1 red flag for these videos, either because the guy playing is a coward and doesn't want to put the effort in or the game is too robust, so the video won't be interesting to watch in either case
>>743804597I watched this therapy youtuber go on a rant about what she thinks is wrong with society and she honestly said the most profound thing I've heard in a while. It went along the lines of.>It makes sense that youtube and entertainment has exploded. With more and more people out of work and the job market being so horrible there is not much left for them to really do other than try to find something to entertainment or distract themselves.

>>743804804>The Weird/Dumb [PS2 Game] You've Never Heard OfAnd majority of the time it's shit everyone's heard of like kingdom hearts or something. I get so fucking sick of videos like this popping up so I block them completely whenever they do

>>743805026I actually hate channels that have intros and "production value". Shit always feels so self absorbed and inauthentic. It's rarely ever good. But I guess I'm a huge hypocrite because I do also love branding and my little channel is themed up the ass.
>>743807445The live stream thing is a double edged sword, if a video presents itself with a youtube quality intro but then 80% of the video is direct from twitch slop, that’s one of the shittiest kinds of videos. It’s just a fag double dipping into revenue

>>743799212>I BEAT ALL OF (GAME) USING ONLY ONE BUTTON!!!!!!!>he didn't

>>743820127uhuh im the brainlet. you couldn't just no class the mod and play the game, you're just following a guide. which is fine for seemless coop, but when literally every class MELTS when optimized...you know what, you don't get it, im not going to argue, because you obviously don't comprehend why im pissed off. ill just play it myself.

Trying to present your gay pedophile friend with the same pomp and circumstance that old AVGN copiers would introduce their random youtube reviewer pal is incredibly retarded.
>>743805645I don't know why it's the meta either, especially when they're blocking whatever it is they're trying to show off because they have dogshit editing skills. Nobody wants to see some tubby ugly nerd who's balding at 25 with a cheap dollar tree mic, I want to see the thing the video is actually about.
>>743800715Missed the bastard like you wouldn't believe. Also the point of his videos wasn't seeing if the challenge could be beaten, it was seeing the pain he was putting himself through by trying them in the first place. Also his Big Iron New Vegas video is comfy.
>>743799485driv3r?
>>743822203I played that game at a friend's house, I'm pretty sure you can't play it for more than 2 hours without crashing
>>743806374Because the channels they got the format from do it. Its done to make them look more casual and thus relatable.

>>743826148Shouldn't have done it properly then and just upload it earlier instead, maybe he wouldn't be a smaller channel then
>>743826148I aware of where he got the idea, I watched the first guy’s DS3 version. But now since he also did DS1, I’ll have 2 of the thing I like

>>743800341Yeah, this is horrific. The least they could do is provide some meaningful commentary, but that would require too much effort, of course.
>>743799212>Can you beat [game] using only [unviable strategy]?
Why don't they avoid doing the "can you beat {game} without {blank}" lies and just say do "how many {blank}s does it take" or {game} minimum {blank} run?
>>743799212can you make a thread that ISN'T gay and nigger retarded?no, you literally cannot
>>743827787Because the former title is snappier and draws more attention while the other would likely tend to have people scroll by. It's why youtubers use that stupid fucking mic setup where they stand there holding it to their mouths or why thumbnails have just been people soifacing at the camera for over 15 or so years.
>>743799212>I beat game without (everything that makes the game fun or interesting)
>>743800715I REALLY MISS MY NIGGA
>>743799501holy fuck lmao. I thought you were talking about the original video the thumbnail referenced and then this guy came and did it right but no he's proud that he completely ignored the rules so he could pretend like he actually did it.
>>743823543Yeah but supporting shitty summons that are meant to be disposable meatshields is still fun>>743799212>Can you beat [game] with convoluted methods?>Strategies and the actual gimmick of the run are mentioned and solved in like 3 minutes, the rest of the video is just a retelling of the main quest
>>743807185for me it's the classic>I haven't played any of the games where this character came from and I didn't find anything by Ctrl+Fing through the fandom wiki so I'm gonna say no
>Entire channel's gimmick is that they're a former "competitive gamer" who is now playing single player games they missed out on>No credentials for them being a "competitive gamer" just that they played Overwatch or some shit
I only watch or put those ones as background noise if I already follow the dude. I understand the titles being bait but one thing is the title and the other is the actual content, and yeah, most of them are terrible because they're shit players
>>743820383My favorite video of his is when he beat Fallout 3 using only eye tracking to control it.
>>743828719Thede dudes (and retards playing on smartphones) are the reason I don't take "competitive" players seriously anymore. >Dude, I play or used to play GAME competitively for hours a day!!!>GAME is usually Fortnite, Overwatch, League of Legends, PUBG or Smash>Multiplayer games are made for the actual talented and smart players!!!>Proceeds to play Nintendo/easy games like shit
>>743830458You are clearly jealous
>>743830458It's a pipe dream but I would love to see a game tournament where the teams have to play ~5 games of different genres and not know in advance what they were
>>743824880Go on, spill the tea
>>743828719That's why I only follow truly talented professionals like Darksydephil (#1 ranked white player at EVO)
>>743830505Used to. Loved to watch Evo during the SF4 era and loved old shooters frag montages, but now? Is like 95% of competitive players that make YT videos try to be a copy of DSP and LTG in its own way.
>>743804804What I really hate is how often these turn out to be games that were well known in the past. Like, either the creator isn't knowledgeable in their field or they're young enough that it's all second hand documentation which often misses a lot of nuance.
>>743824656Zoomzooms think these online twinks are their actual friends. Their hearts skips a beat whenever they see a new upload from their parasocial source. It's all very harrowing and sad to witness.

>>743831963Unrelated but the videos that fucking piss me off are those that come up when you’re trying to look up a viral video and the first like ten hits are all the exact same video of a retard showing you his disgusting face taking up the entire screen as he goes “LOOK WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS VIDEO” and then proceeds to show you the actual video you wanted to see
>>743800715glad this motherfucker died, was sick of his shitty videos clogging my feed and youtube offering me no way to block these low effort engagement farms
The worst was when Elden Ring came out and people were saying that using that one mechanic was bad (I forget what they are called, but the NPC summon/ability stuff). I'm probably getting the names wrong since I only played it once, on launch but I used the Mimic, Black Knife Tische and Hoarfrost Stomp and they were so much fun.
>>743815395are you talking about the ds3 killplane bypass in the profaned capital that required someone to invade and do a frame-perfect grab? that was so impressive I can excuse the use of another player. its not like he dropped items for himself
>>743835460Nah, there was a thing in "Bloodborne in 1 boss" video at around 20 minute mark that required coop buddy to get past the boss, get summoned into his world at a location past the boss to bring an elevator that would let him avoid fighting the boss.
>>743800715Judging by the other replies, I'm guessing this wasn't a real question. I'm not familiar with the (former?) Eceleb.I'm guessing you can though. It's been ages since I played it, but I don't think there's any point where you're locked into combat prior to getting a shout capable of dealing damage. There should be an unlikable npc to kill that first dragon for you.It would be a miserable experience though. I don't think you'd level up through combat since shouts wouldn't apply to any skills, but you should be able to level up through shopping, lockpocking, sneaking, etc. You can probably find it whatever other stats you need through alchemy and enchanting.
>>743836341ah gotcha I haven't seen that one yeah that's less impressivejustify it in your mind like a recursive acronym. the coop buddy used the same coop skip who summoned someone who did the same coop skip who summoned... someone whose ps4 got hit with a cosmic ray and flipped a random bit
