So how badly do you think hes going to shit on Mario Sunshine?
I think he might like it.
FIGURATIVELY WHO
When we are going to get a youtube celebrity board
>That feel when Matthew reviews games you've already played so you don't have to worry about spoilers.
>>268282402
As much as /v/ dumps on him sometimes, I think his review style is the best out there. It actually feels like a critique of the game within the parameters of the medium, instead of a checklist that almost every other reviewer does.
I think he will criticize it while talking about it's positives and negatives
And then /v/ will say he either said it was shit, or say that he loved it, because /v/ is full of children who speak only in extremes and incredibly rarely actually want to discuss videogames.
You can also be sure that once the video comes out more people will be posting WHO and SHILL and VIRAL and BAAW YOUTUBE CELEBS instead of actually talking about the game. These people, they are the biggest faggots of all. They "care about the quality of the board" while contributing absolutely nothing other than spam when they could instead just talk about the videogame being discussed.
He's the best reviewer out there because he never integrates fun into his videos because he knows fun is subjective.
I hope he tears that piece of shit game apart. It's the worst Mario game I can think of.
>>268283630
What don't you like about it, anon?
>>268283630
there not really traditional reviews. they're more like analysis
>>268282402
hi matthew :3
>>268283630
3D world is worse IMO.
Sunshine, if nothing else, tried new things. Especially in comparison to the 3 games that came after it.
He's said in his Dustforce streams that he doesn't hate it by any stretch of the imagination, and it isn't a bad game per say, it's just not that good of a Mario game.
his videos are too long for my e-autism to handle but i watched his "journey vs dear esther" video and it was well done
>>268283296
agreed, he has some pretty spot on insight. I don't like a lot of what he has to say but in most cases I can't argue his logic.
>>268283630
From a design perspective, what is bad about Sunshine?
i am still mad about his oddworld review
what a piece of shit
Why do people think Sunshine is bad? I liked it a lot
>>268284221
it was too hard for most /v/irgins
I'm calling it now, more and more /v/irgins will start to watch and then everyone will shit all over him despite being an actually good critic.
>>268284156
What do you mean? New N Tasty was shit
>>268284395
fuck off
>>268284445
What a compelling argument.
>>268284445
Do you have buyers remorse?
why the fuck does he viral here so damn much
All he does anymore is just eloquently nitpick. His recent videos really haven't been very enjoyable.
>>268284595
Because /v/ are the only people who give a remote fuck about him.
>>268282640
as soon as you autists stop bitching about it and learn to hide threads you don't like
>>268283630
>he knows fun is subjective.
Everything about vidya is subjective
>>268284595
Because people here buy into his garbage, but hey, that's them.
>>268283296
I agree with this. I like that he treats every detail as equally worth noting. I know a lot of /v/ will just say he has autism, but I think that he does it because no matter how small or large a detail, there's -someone- out there that finds that detail important and it might nag at them, even if no one else really cares and it's just "nitpicking" to a majority of people.
Also: I don't think he's going to be overly negative in his review of Sunshine just because I think Sunshine shares a lot of the traits that make Wind Waker one of Matthew's favorite Zelda; it tries new things for the series instead of just doing the same thing they always do.
>I don't know if he's shilling himself or people are being ironic
>>268283630
>fun is subjective
Holy shit are you this much of a faggot regularly?
>>268283918
What is bad about 3D World? Off the top of my head the only faults I can think of are
>linear level design with easy to find stars
>linear level progression
>game is easy for most of first 6 worlds
>only real addition is the cat suit
I've hadfunwith it.
Something about the delivery in the Mario 64 video is off. Guess it feels more unnatural and like he's reading from a script compared to, say, his Zelda videos.
>>268284961
the first one
>>268283773
>>268284106
>monotonous fucking music/level themes
>all stages except Rico Harbor and Loki Bay are fairly flat, platforming rarely considered in design

>most missions/bosses revolve around the same act of cleaning and squirting things
>2 red coins quests per stage
>less stages than 64
>blue coins fetch quests
>cringe-worthy story and cutscenes
The game is a fucking insult compared to Super Mario 64.
>>268283918
Trying something new doesn't mean you should praised for it if the new things you're trying are shit.
>>268285006
Pretty sure he was meant to say that calling something fun isn't a constructive way to argue or talk about video games.
>>268285006
Not him, but the amount of fun you have with a game is subjective.
I have fun on ARMA, but that same game might put someone to sleep.
>>268285006
He's not wrong
I play a lot of submarine sims and I think they're fun even though others might find them boring
matthew is a fucking faglord who doesn't know shit about games
>>268283630
>hating sunshine
I can understand disliking the coin challenges, but how can you hate that tropical paradise.
>>268285006
I bet you think Kirby games are good.
Place your bets on his opinions
Sunshine > Galaxy > 64 > 3D World > Galaxy 2
>>268285487
Kirby games are good for many reasons, fun being just one of them.
>>268285487
they are
>inb4 the fake Matthew tripfag shows up
If you aren't finding the game you are playing fun why are you playing them? immersion?
top kek
>>268285539
I don't find them fun.
I don't play games for music either. What the fuck else is left in a Kirby game? Fucking nothing. Try explaining your love of Kirby without resorting to calling them fun.
>>268285523
64>Galaxy>Galaxy 2>Sunshine>3D World
>>268283296
No one besides contrarian faggots dump on him because he's popular here. Or maybe he spat real talk on their favorite 3D Zelda.
>mare-e-oh
>>268285693
I don't recall him entirely shitting one game. He lists goods and bads of all the games
>>268285684
they have good gameplay
>>268284603
Well considering his recent videos have deliberately focused on singular points rather than a whole game, that isn't surprising.
>>268282468
His biggest complaint about Mario 64 was the water levels. Are you sure about that?
>>268285841
What's good about it? The fact that it's unchallenging and monotonous?
>>268282402
Oh great, another review on a game that can be considered ancient at this point.
I can't wait to here all the amazing insight and logic he brings to the table, that I probably thought of hundreds of years ago.
And even if I didn't, I couldn't give less of a crap.
>>268284814
Every critique can be argued for or against. Speaking in terms that are generally agreed upon makes a good review and speaking in biased and personal terms makes a bad one.
This game has swimming, I don't like it because the control options are limited.
This games has swimming, I like it because the swimming allows for a wider range of exploration as well as a risk reward system revolving around the life bar.
two opposite opinions that are argued with objective parts of the game.
>>268284603
That's what an in depth analysis from a fan of the game is. If you want a quick summary of features you can check out IGN.
His videos are made for people that are clearly already fans of the games, him pointing out that the addition of the side flip jump was probably added later to increase the skill ceiling of players that want to keep momentum was something I hadn't thought of before. Of course it's a small 'nitpicky' point, but I'd take that over someone telling me a bunch of shit I already know.
>>268285684
Okay. They have a relaxing atmosphere, a wide variety of different moves to use which you can experiment with, gorgeous visuals, tight controls and level design which is entertaining despite being fairly easy. The games are also really fucking fun to speedrun.
>>268285934
>unchallenging and monotonous
that is your opinion
monotonous is basically the opposite of fun and enjoyable.
Explain why you think the gameplay of kirby is bad without calling it not enjoyable
>>268285487
>Not having enough soul to still like Kirby
When did that happy little child die Anon?
>>268282402
I seriously hope he doesn't, Sunshine is the best 3D Mario and the last good one. Galaxy one and 2 where pieces of shit.
![SMSunshine_SecretLevel[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/bEXJ6ns.jpg "SMSunshine_SecretLevel[1].jpg")
>>268285887
And one of his favorite parts were the linear bowser levels, but thought it was a shame they were so easy.
>>268286190
>Galaxy one and 2 where pieces of shit.
wow finally another edgy contrarian I can hang out with
>>268284929
Wait, Wind Waker is his favorite? Based on his reviews I thought it was Majora's Mask.
Constantly treads over his own opinions about game design. Terrible reviewer in a sea of terrible reviewers. The only reason he has any following is because of how much he virals and his stupid ass accent.
>>268285235
your opion is wrong
>>268286350
They were.
>Terrible controls
>Awful graphics
>The game is basically a ri`-off of Sonic Adventure 2 space levels
>>268286325
Yeah Matthew, I agree it was rather easy.
>>268285821
Overall, he wasn't a fan of Skyward Sword, but every game he plays he seems to give a fair shot.
>>268285731
>not calling him may-rye-oh
>>268286490
you're implying OIRISH accents are anywhere near charming
>>268286063
>The games are also really fucking fun to speedrun
Ya goofed.
>>268286098
They offer little to no challenge. My sister who has never beaten a video game in her life at 29 years old, beat Nightmare in Dreamland during a hospital stay.
The variety in power-ups and abilities don't mean a whole lot if you can insta-kill 96% of the enemies just by eating them and flying over them anyway.
Level designs offer almost no variety besides mini-bosses since Kirby can jump as many times as you want.
Most bosses amount to the same thing: suck up the apple or star they leave behind and shoot it back at them.
>>268286607
>Terrible controls
They worked just fine, with a minimum amount of waggling.
>Awful graphics
It looked better than any mario game before it
>>268285821
Bioshock Infinite, Dark Souls 2 and New 'n' Tasty videos were largely focused on shitting on the games with some quick "they're not HORRIBLE, guys!" disclaimers.
>>268282402
I'm interested to hear his thoughts on 3D World considering it's the only 3D Mario where the standard enemies can actually be a threat, if only to your power-ups.
>>268286576
It's nice to finally read a compelling, well written counterpoint on /v/.
>>268286708
>Overall, he wasn't a fan of Skyward Sword, but every game he plays he seems to give a fair shot.
And he explains exactly why he didn't like it.
The terrible motion controls and every enemy having the same gimmick were valid reasons, just like the backtracking.
>>268286786
>games gotta be EXTREME for my EXTREME difficulty tastes
Worst type of people.
Everybody knows Kirby is easy, nobody tries to deny it.
Guess I have to hate Animal Crossing now because it has no challenge.
>>268286891
>3D World considering it's the only 3D Mario where the standard enemies can actually be a threat
I don't think we played the same game
>>268286862
He goes out of his way to state those aren't full reviews, you nincompoop.
>>268285887
There's actually less swimming than in Mario 64, so yes
>>268286862
They were critiques. The point of a critique is to criticize. He criticized them heavily while still being fair. He generally list out some positive points as well.
>>268286853
>They worked just fine, with a minimum amount of waggling.
The way Mario moves in the game is clearly a step backwards from 64 and sunshine. Also the spin is just the kick from 64.
People consider the games good because there are no other platform games on the Wii.
>>268282402
I heard if you say his name three time he will appear in this thread
>>268286862
He did mention some positive aspects of Bioshock, but deliberately made it negative because of all the positive press the game got. And it was horrible, he at least admitted that.
And he adores Abe's Odyssey and aid it was a bad remake
Where's his accent from? Is it irish?
>>268287123
This
>>268287170he's already here
>remember when this dude started because someone told him he should do a lp in one of those retarded lp threads /v/ used to have way back when you guys thought shit like gamegrumps was good
>All of a sudden he's popular because he started pandering to the hivemind
I'very been seeing this dudes stupid fucking channel pick way too much lately. All these threads start the same
>>268287013
Animal crossing also plays differently from 90% of games. And there isn't even a focus on adventuring or combat or anything requiring skill or motor function
Kirby packages itself as a platformer, there's bottomless pits, monsters and bosses, yet it's the most piss-easy walk in a park platformer there has ever been
>>268286786
>Easy = bad
Faulty logic, especially considering that it's relative. The Kirby games aren't meant to be very challenging, but they still have a nice balance between making you put effort when necessary and being easy.
>Level designs offer almost no variety
Yeah, between going through non-linear treasure hunts, solving puzzles to get items and jumping around on linear platforming-oriented levels there's no variety what-so-ever!
>Most bosses amount to the same thing
As opposed to something like Megaman where you jump and shoot? The core mechanics being simple doesn't mean everything else is. There are different timings to when you should suck up a star and shoot it back at them. Different powers are more effective against different bosses, too.
>>268287192
think he's Australian
I hope the Sunshine video brings up less obvious points because what he said in the SM64 review has been said so many times now it's gotten predictable. I could basically figure the entire review out point by point when I saw the title.
Still, some things were new to me, like the story about the rabbit being one of the first parts of the early build. Not sure why he was so hard on swimming. I thought it was pretty nice.
>>268286350
Not him, but I felt that Galaxy 1 and 2 were terribly linear and boring. They had no challenge to them at all and I went in with the expectation of Mario 64 in a bigger scale, yet I felt so much more limited when playing Galaxy
>>268286862
I was talking about his zelda reviews in particular, though.
>>268282402
Do more videos.
>>268287123
>Guess I have to hate Animal Crossing now because it has no challenge.
I liked the movement in galaxy much more than in 64. Spin is just a replacement kick. It had enjoyable platforming and offered something fresh and new.
>>268287192
Irish
>>268283630
I know this isn't what you mean but I do kinda miss the fun in his stuff. The jokes in the Portal 2 and OoT video weren't terrible.
>>268286485
I also think Majora's Mask is his favorite
>>268287241
>Pandering
How is it pandering?
I'm pretty sure we all know Sunshine's flaws in and out by now, blind nostalgiafags aside
>>268282402
Matthew made me play Ghost Trick and I love him for that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdNhwb7iuI4
This is actually pretty spot-on.
>>268282402
Matthew you taig stop lurking
>>268287638
This.
Hurry up and make more videos
>>268287373
>Guess I have to hate Animal Crossing now because it has no challenge.
What the fuck you are talking about? I didn'tt mention AC nor the challengue of Galaxy, wich by the way is inexistent until the last 10 stars of the game and even there it's not that difficult.
Spin is just a replacement kick.
But makes it a major feature instead of another ability Mario is capable of use.
>It had enjoyable platforming and offered something fresh and new.
Sonic Adventure 2
>>268287013
The difference between Kirby and AC is that Kirby has ignored potential for challenge. AC is a life-sim that gives you goals that can't be accomplished as easily as completing a Kirby level/boss. The reward in Animal Crossing lies in it's carrot-on-a-stick style, which works well here, given the fact that life actually works that way. Nobody pays off the mortgage to their house in a day, they have to earn it.
The AC series is good. You're just an assmad Kirbyfag grasping at straws.
Someone already ask a smart question so we get Matthew to reply to this thread
>>268287123
yeah my only complaint with galaxy was how slow mario was, he had no momentum
>>268285119
I also felt that. He did a good analysis but he didn't joke or anything like in some other videos ( like joking about Ganon's nose or things like that)
>>268287014
Not the person you responded too but in 3D World your character can only take 3 hits before dying 6 if you have a powerup stored. The number of powerups per stage are limited.
Contrast that to the other games where coins restore Mario's health. There are 100+ HP worth of healing on each stage and 64 and Sunshine where Mario's HP is up to 8.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMJZQGwDcSI
Matthew should've talked more about the music. I mean he mentioned that it was fewer tracks and that some were reused, but man Mario 64 manages to have completely new tracks, yet still feel completely like Mario without having to fucking remix the Mario main theme all the time
>>268287819
Is a sign of good game design that the player doesn't feel like he has a controller on his hands?
>Find his channel by accident through "Youtube Recommended Crap", just put out his zelda comparison video
>really like his reviews, goes very in-depth and considers points from different perspectives
>remains largely non-partial to good or bad, gives examples of what the games do well and what they do badly
>find out /v/ hates him for some reason and that doing in depth critique is "autism" and "nitpicking", and he's somehow pandering to something, even though his content and reviewing style really hasn't changed
/v/ really is full of contrarian retards, isn't it. If you know of a better reviewer on youtube, please post the channel.
>>268287730
The space levels in Sonic Adventure 2 controlled like ass and did little to nothing with the physics. Those levels were trash.
>>268282402
Who gives a shit what that autistic has to say? Are you really going to hate a game if he says it sucks?
>>268288006
yes
>>268288096But why
>>268283296
I'm hoping he sets a new standard for other journalists and reviewers on how to review games.
The fact that he talks about the game mechanics and explains in good detail in what ways they work and don't work shows me he has a great amount of respect for the medium. This has been quite lacking in the reviews you'll see on the major review sites today. It often feels like they just give it quick surface treatment move on.
He also seems to actually understand the difference between a review and a critique.
>>268288034
/v/ loves him actually. Most his viewerbase are people on /v/
>>268288006
I would say yes.
The player should not have to actively think about the controlls, they should come natural after a while. That doesn't mean they have to be simplistic or easy to learn, just natural enough to not be a hinderance at any times.
>>268288034
>find out /v/ hates him for some reason
I think it's the other way around. He has a bunch of fans on /v/, which in return causes a lot of backlash since /v/ is full of people who do dislike what others like. I'm not saying they make up the majority or anything, but, you have to be honest, they exist and are very vocal.
He also has a habit of showing up in some threads when called(Matthewmatosis, Matthewmatosis, Matthewmatosis) which can cause some derails, upsetting some.
>>268288148
because
64 > Galaxy 2 > Galaxy = 3D World > Sunshine
The Galaxy series is shit because of the stupid railroaded tiny planet to tiny planet hopping instead of having open levels like 64 and Sunshine
Also Harvest Moon > Animal Crossing
>>268286917
There are less levels but they're also much bigger. It's only gimped platforming if you think it doesn't expand the platforming, which it does. They're are 3 different nozzle that expand what you can do. Most missions and bosses revolve around exactly what the game is about... you know cleaning up the island. I don't know waht's wrong with the music
>>268288034
Never listen to /v/ when it is negative. except when they start writing extremely in depth analysis of every single flaw. Then it's reliable.
Positive opinions are normally more logical here.
>>268288034
Needs to be said more. Although most of /v/ probably doesn't hate him, since the vocal minority is always the loudest. I think >>268288190 is right actually.
Not sure about any reviewers who are better. MrBtounge is about the same level of quality, although not as frequent.
>>268288324
But the open levels in Sunshine had shit tier platforming outside of the harbor. Having an open level doesn't make it automatically better.
>>268282402
Considering that he said that the reason he enjoys Mario games is the jumping, probably a lot.
>>268286862
None of the points he made in those videos were incorrect.
>>268288148
Because it allows the player to focus on the game entirely, while cutting out as much of reality as possible. It's immersive, I guess.
>>268283138
fucking
still need to get through the MGS series so i can watch his reviews
>>268288034
Not a reviewer but MrBTongue has a lot of cool videos on topics usually related to storytelling, world building and such. It seems that he's mostly interested in RPG's, though. Somecallmejohnny does some nice reviews but they are much more subjective than Matthew's videos. He actually just finished his 3D Mario marathon.
>>268288432
It wasn't about being incorrect, just about shitting on them, even if it is justified
I hope he mentions how great the spin jump is
Because it's great
I love Matthewmatosis.
Video seems pretty right on, it's amazing how much Mario 64 did right on the first try.
>>268288415
MrBtongue is different. He doesn't seem to talk about the video games themselves as much and doesn't analyse them in the same way as Matthew does. That is, focusing on gameplay and design. MrBtongue usually draws comparisons to various things that are not game related and talks about story, setting, atmosphere more. It's kind of a meta review, more than a game review, or something. I don't really know how to describe it, but, it's interesting to listen to.
Which sunshine level was the most comfy? For me it wasthat mushroom place
>>268288775
Correct.
>>268282402

>For me it was that mushroom place
I don't know. Reminded me too much of my ex.
HEEYOOO! I'm here all night, people!
>>268288432
His opinion on the Dark Souls 2 music is incorrect. Otherwise yes.

>>268288579

What posters do you have on your wall Matthew?
>>268286001
IT'S NOT
A FUCKING
REVIEW
HOLY SHIT
I also know MrBtongue occasionally lurks /v/ because I have seen him reference this board. Hell, I've seen my own post in one of his videos.
Either way, on the off chance that you're in here, please don't rush anything. But, also, stop playing Guild wars 2 you shit.
>>268288908
>that music
I only watched his DkS2 review and it was disgusting, all he did was present his opinions about the souls games as objective facts, nitpick endlessly and whine that the game wasn't similar to its predecessors. When he said that the music was disappointing compared to DkS1 I cringed. People actually give attention to this guy?
He made some good points but anybody would do that in a 45 minute video.
His other videos may be better but his DKS2 review left a sour taste in my mouth.
>>268288883
no you retard, you have to say his name three times.
>>268289126
Try the Bioshock Infinite one if you've played it.
Super Bunnyhop is also a pretty good reviewer. He's not as analytic as Matthew, nor as meta as MrBtongue and seems to focus more on what a game can deliver in terms of experience rather than how a game is designed and built. His Dark Souls review is a good example, but, I think most people must be sick of fucking Dark Souls reviews at this point.
I'd also say his Shovel Knight review was spot on.
>>268288626
>you're not allowed to say bad things about a video game
>>268284603
I actually disagree. I think he's improved greatly. I wish he would throw in the odd mediocre joke every now and then like he did in his earlier videos.
Very few people do really in depth reviews of games like he does anymore, and all you ever see now is shitty clickbait garbage. We need more Matthews man.
>>268285731
But he pronounces it 'Mah-ri-oh', the correct way.
What does Matthew do for a living besides these videos?
>>268289328
Agreed. But some people will stil call it pandering/contrarian/edgy or whatever is the next buzzword
I really dislike discussing Matthew videos on /v/ since people always get so angry whenever they disagree and fail to address some actual flaws and when you point that out, you come across as a fanboy. It's really annoying and I don't know how to fix it.
>>268289293
He's also a really cool guy. I was lucky enough to play CSGO with him not too long ago.
>>268289451
boring software developer iirc
>>268289126

You must cringe pretty easily. What's so cringeworthy about that utterly uncontroversial opinion?
>>268288034
/v/ seems to love him and I like him too.
What I hate personally is the people brown nosing him in the comments acting all pseudo intellectual and shit. It's largely why I hate Douchebag Chocolat as well (both the same fan mentality and the fact he sucked up on one of Matthew's videos.)

>>268282402
He's going to say that a Mario game shouldn't focus so much on the story. He'll complain about how long it takes to start a new game.
>>268289293
No it wasn't. In fact my biggest complaint about Shovel Knight would be that it's pure nostalgia pandering which, despite having some original ideas doesn't utilize them nearly enough. I got through most of the game with muscle memory acquired from Megaman games.

He's okay, but a little too happy to get into bed with the likes of Steve Gaynor in my opinion.
>>268289126
>and whine that the game wasn't similar to its predecessors.
What, the first thing he says it's that the game is too much like DaS 2
>>268289547
>I was lucky enough to play CSGO with him
Oh, right. He mentioned that(not you in particular) on the podcast he runs with some people. Apaprently, his new 144Hz monitor gave him super powers. I'm actually mad jelly about not having one myself.

>>268289748He'd be 100% correct.
>>268282402
He will complain on how long it takes for you to play. If it was fine in Mario 64, then Sunshine will get talked shit.
>>268289059
The title of the video is "Mario 64 Review"
>try explaining why you like a medium whose entire purpose is to provide entertainment without calling it entertaining
What has this board come to?
>>268282402
He's going to slam 3D World for the white Tanooki suit. I remember him complaining about it on Twitter.
>>268289059
>Mario 64 Review
yes it is
>>268289837
He did alright. We lost because of him.
>>268289931
There was once a time where fun is a buzzword was mocked. Now people think that is the tightest shit ever
isnt this the guy who got death threats from saying Biocock isnt a masterpiece?
>>268289940
Good, fuck the suit.
>>268289772
Well, I disagree.
I hate to use this argument, but, I think that's intended. Like he said, it's a game about nostalgia, not just with nostalgia mixed in like many other pseudo-retro indie games. Of course you would do well at Shovel Knight if you've played MegaMan, the game is designed to be played like that.
I hope I don't seem like a shill, but, that's my opinion.

Matthew is not an expert on music, the same way he's not an expert on the inner workings of storytelling. That isn't to say he can't do a good job of critiquing either, I'd say his MGS reviews show that, but his real strength lies in pure game design.
>>268289587
Music is subjective. Making statements like "the music is worse" in a "critique" which should be based on objective facts is pretty bad.
>>268289875
Does anyone actually like the Sunshine intro?
Never mind the length or the fact that you can't skip it, it's still an earstabber.
>>268290003
which one is he
>>268289712
Yeah well they're there, aren't they?
Gotta be mad at something.
Also I think too many people take what he says at face value purely because it sounds intelligent.
>>268290143

"Review" can be a wide term.

>>268290238
a review is a review, if he doesn't want them to be reviews they shouldn't be called reviews
>>268290238
it specifically says review
>>268290056
I get that, it's just that a lot of people claim that Shovel Knight is much more than nostalgia pandering while I really don't see it. It goes through a lot of ideas borrowed from other games with the intent to be constantly entertaining, but fails to push any of those ideas to their limit or reinvent them. I still loved the game a lot because it's really well made, but it's very by-the-numbers and kinda shallow.
>>268290321
Fuck Campster.
>>268290089
I don't even remember the intro
>>268290034
everyone on the internet gets death threadsyou're dead!
>>268290365
Fuck you.
Let's try and summon him.
>>268290089
No. No one who's played the game twice loves the intro. In fact, I doubt anyone really enjoys the first three or four shines in the game. It's annoying having so many levels locked away at the start and having to go through specific levels to progress the story. What I usually do is quickly do the required missions to unlock the next level until they're all there, then go back and get the other shines.
It's a bother, but, the actual game is, in my opinion, better than 64.
>>268290161
>Also I think too many people take what he says at face value purely because it sounds intelligent.
In order to sow that something sound intelligent, in contrast to being intelligent, you first have to prove it wrong.
I don't agree with everything he said, but /v/ is very noticable in the comment section
>>268290335
>>268290334
What should he call them then?
>>268290376
please no i beg
>>268286862
The joke is that he couldn't figure out anything bad to say about the gameplay since it's 100% a stepup from Dark Souls 1 so the entire review was "b-but!! THE LORE!! THE... THE STORY!! THE... ATMOSPHERE!!!"
Matthewmatosis is just a pandering faggot with a limp voice who parrots everything /v/ says and/or tell them what they want to hear.
Sounds like ForeverDinkering!

In a perfect world, he would. Unfortunately the kind of depth he goes into would be lost on most people, current reviewers included. Most people just give a checklist of
>graphics
>gameplay
>story
Instead of what the game does well, along with how it fits in its particular genre
>>268290321
Isn't that the dude who said that the barbaric tribes in Civ 5 were portrayed poorly?
>>268290457
Since it is a review, it should be called a review

You didn't watch the video/You are a bait.
>>268290619
Yes, he has a habit of going full retard.
>>268287116
A critique is a thorough analysis. His dark souls 2 video was just a long drawn out bitch fit.
>>268290851
>A critique is a thorough analysis
Only in an academic environment. There's no commonly accepted standard for what a review or a critique is when it comes to video game videos.
>>268290448
Oh yeah. Fucking Shadow Mario chase sequences I swear to god.
>>268290851
You just sound mad because he dared to insult a game you liked.
You're no better than the people who complained about his Bioshock Infinite review
>>268290756
Admittedly, that was the only stupid and ill informed thing he said in that video; the rest of his points were valid enough.
>>268290937
>Only in an academic environment. There's no commonly accepted standard for what a review or a critique is when it comes to video game videos.
Maybe he tries to be better than vidya "jouralism" and branch out

>History repeats itself and yet we don't try to learn from it and repeat past mistakes.
That is the reason I think his analysis are of any value. Learning how problems were tackled in the past can help designers tackle new ones.

Again, in what way? Give some references or something.
Since when did micks have the disposable income for video games?
>>268291078
If only more reviewers did his style, the gaming world would be a much better place.
>>268285887
But Sunshine had much less underwater levels compared to 64.
>>268282402
why do we pay attention to a man with literal autism?
>>268290089
I just started to play that game again, just because for some reason my toaster can, and the intro is just putting me off.
I had to stop playing it and instead decided to play Eternal Darknessfor the first time
>>268291324
Why indeed
>>268291324
Because if we didn'tyou wouldn't get any replies.
>>268290749
>You didn't watch my... I mean his video
Everyone in Ireland knows each other. Mechagamezilla and Matthewmotosis vidya TV show when?
>>268290851
Because Dark 2 Was a let down, from gameplay to the promised aesthetics that players didn't ask for but were told about.

I dunno, but you, me and him post on /v/.
Maybe we like talking about people with the same problems as us.
>>268291549It's not nearly as good as he makes it sound
>>268290526
Sorry Johnny, I just didn't like advent children. I thought it was lame.
Trihex, I know you're in here. I see you.You have good taste in both vidya and vidya reviewers.
>>268291558
All Mathewmatosis does is parrot what /v/ says, or what /v/ wants to hear.
He's not smart.
He's not educated.
He's an echo chamber given a body.
>>268287241
He actually was against the hivemind when he praised Last fo Us and actually was hesitant to post the review.
>>268291776
Oh yeah, remember all the in-depth discussions we regularly have on Mario 64?
>>268291549
>>268291651
This. Everything that made you want to play the game you already experienced over a decade ago. Going back to it now doesn't feel that good to be honest. The wow factor is gone and it's much easier to get stuck on focusing on the now outdated camera controls.
It's still a great game, don't get me wrong, but, it's aged.
When I finally played through all the MGS games, after each one I finished I would immediately look at his reviews, it was fun.then I's watch DSP play it
