How long before Woolie starts uploading Thousand Year Door videos?

Also, there's such a weird tone to Pat's TLOU2 stream, I can't handle it. It's so hard to describe, it's not like smug but it's annoying in a different way.

Pat decided he hated it a month ago, and tried to dunk on it after every second line of dialogue. Seriously, you can skip to any part of the video, and he'll nitpick something within twenty seconds.

Yeah, it's fine if you don't like it- if the combat isn't 'new' enough or different, I wish that you'd be specific about what you'd like to be better or changed because I have no imagination- for whatever reason. I dunno, it's just throwing me off. It's like someone invented a new flavor and I short circuit every time I try to describe it.

Pat (or someone in his chat at least) was apparently like, charting out the amount of time he spent in combat vs the rest of the game. Not even cutscenes vs. gameplay, the ratio of playtime to combat. That's just completely absurd, lmao.

Yeah I haven't watched or plan to watch Pat's Last of Us 2 stuff because it was blatantly apparent he was going in entirely to poo poo on it not actually enjoy it in any shape or form and that kind of stream is just no fun to watch. Whoever actually sent him an advance code on that clearly doesn't do their research, all you'd have had to do was check his twitter. :v:

all i'm saying is that the much-vaunted masterpiece story of this game has already been done to death in every self-serious piece of zombie fiction that has been getting lobbed at our faces for years, so if they're going to package it into a game they could've at least not made playing it as much of a slog as its narrative

so pat isn't exactly being a weird rear end in a top hat by immediately feeling that this game is kind of an underwhelming gruel with a thin layer of extremely impressive technical achievement laid on top

He is, however, being a weird rear end in a top hat for streaming it and just being generally unfunny in making fun of it.

To be fair, Woolie has admitted to having gently caress-all FPS experience, and Doom Eternal is probably one of the most demanding FPS games ever that isn't a romhack. It's a character action game with a first-person camera.

Doesn't he have a very bizarre control set up for it, which doesn't help?

Doom and Doom: Eternal are tested to work fine with a gamepad. Black Mesa wasn't, and that playthrough was such a mess because of it.

i tried real hard to watch black mesa but woolie's inability to actually pay attention (and then shout 'LP Tax') was REAL bad in that one

It's real bad in the first few episodes, but Woolie gets significantly better after the first recording session since he had time to practice in a separate save.

let me show you a 3 hour long tim rogers video where he did exactly this for TLOU1....

he even split it out by "combat" vs "scrounging for things" vs "wandering around taking in the scenery".

it's a good video tho, imo.

Honestly, the gameplay for Last of Us 2 looks like it's pretty fun to me, but not I'm just not in the mood for a story that sounds like misery porn.

Woolie's getting into the Brad Shoemaker zone of not wanting even the slightest bit of a spoiler on a video game while at the same time being a host of a podcast discussing those video games.

There's a lot of things to say about TLOU2 but between the more generally hackneyed "you're just as bad as the lynchers MAN" angle and the trans stuff I'm just like naaaaaaaaaah


Mind even before anything about the game was out I was against a sequel from the start, but the stuff they've done with it sounds ATROCIOUS

I don't think it plays out like that but I've never really watched any misery porn so I can't say that with 100% certainty. I'm not trying to turn this into a gotcha or anything, my tastes are all power fantasy stuff, I don't even play horror games as an example. It's more just that actions have consequences and hunting someone down and killing them is going to lead to another retaliation and then the first party will strike back harder to make a point and so on and so on until you're like, stomping children to death and there's absolutely no turning back at that point.

I'm a skeleton wearing a suit of meat pretending to be a human so maybe this is hitting less emotionally jaded people harder than me but it's not relentlessly Artax dying in the swamp of Sadness, there's genuinely more humor and levity in this game than there is the first one and that's not just because I'm 11 hours in and still haven't left the first town because it's the size of the map in Far Cry 2.

TLOU2 has entered the realm of the Last Jedi for me, in that I do plan on trying it, but the level of discourse surrounding it is so toxic right now that I know that I'm not going to give it a fair shake at the moment.

Which is fine, I still need to beat the first one and the DLC anyways.

Watching the ending of the Kotor 2 twitch archive. Well timed wrapping it up just ahead of the Avelonne stuff coming out.


That poo poo's vile man. I mean, it's not really that shocking, cause he WAS known as an rear end in a top hat, but it IS surprising that it was kept under wraps for this long for as prominent a figure as he is in the industry.
