If anything, this just makes me like this Nomura bullshit even more. Not out of spite, but because of what the anti-retcon ghosts represent.

I mean to be fair the things people are getting mad about are things Nomura loves putting in his games so I imagine he is a big part of it. That said it's all done so well here I'm like, who could reasonably care, it loving owns.

Not rip into him personally, but Minh sort of represents everything that drove me nuts about those kind of early Youtube LPs. Like, despite constantly talking, he rarely ever talks about the game, and his jokes are awful. When he's in control, the camera is never pointed at something interesting. He could be playing FF7 and during Aeris' death scene, the camera is pointed at a nearby ceramic pot that he says looks weird while Woolie would be like "Minh, stop looking at the pot, look at Aeris." Then he turns back and Aeris is dead and Minh's just saying "Wait, what happened? How'd she die?" Then there is him trying to play a different game than what he's actually playing. The only part of the Vanquish LP I watched was like 11 seconds where he's trying to melee jetpack troopers, and is missing instead of just shooting them.

Minh has been getting better, I think he's pretty good on Dokapon. He's pretty earnest in his awkward energy so he's grown on me, but he works better when Reggie is also around so Woolie and him drive the conversation.

Yeah, this. I was excited for the Vanquish LP, but Minh just isn't that fun to watch play. In multiplayer LPs, he's a good foil for Woolie, but that's about it.

It doesn't help Minh that besides Reggie getting better with every series, Eyepatch Wolf and Little V have been on the channel and work much better with Woolie than he does.

I mean, those are already spoilers and poo poo. It's whatever because it's an open secret that FF7R is a Rebuild by now, I just think it's funny that people are dancing around it while still making it incredibly clear what's happening.

Edit: everything to do with the lead up to the airbuster fight is the loving best. Well, once in the reactor itself, anyways. I know of games that have you loving around with the boss before fighting it to weaken/change it but I love the way they do it here.

Wasn't airbuster a notoriously hard boss in the original? Like one of those brick wall types?

I'll be happy as long as those MMod people aren't. It's so weird how many people are suddenly claiming that HL2 isn't fun without it, or that it's just a straight upgrade and there's no reason not to use it. From what I've seen, it does cool stuff to try to make combat feel more fluid and impactful, but some of its effects seem a bit over the top, and it oversaturates the game's color scheme in a way that looks godawful.

Frankly, I don't see why anybody would be opposed to Woolie playing vanilla so he can see the game as it was originally intended (or at least as close as it gets post orange box).

Oxyclean

I just thought the Xbox version would be a bit much. :v: But Yeah, I kinda feel like vanilla would be the way to go for anyone fresh to the series. MMOD straight up does some weird stuff right? Like you can pull the tau off the buggy?

There's plenty of moments in Black Mesa that distort the original, and I have no idea if Woolie realizes that (like I want to say he commented on the segment where you manually load the TOW rocket as being an "old game thing" and I wasn't sure if he means Source Engine old or HL1 old. Not that it matters a ton?) I feel like MMOD would kinda be a needless distortion.

Yeah you can pull the tau off the buggy and also carry combine turrets with you.

Also, the 360 version is actually a pretty decent port. I beat HL2 and the episodes on it with no real problems.

Weird how much people in the chat are pushing Woolie to play the MMod version of Half Life 2 for his first playthrough. Just what Woolie needs to wade through with his hosed up control scheme and lack of talent for aiming - lens dirt, chromatic abberation, film grain, head sway, massive recoil.
