>Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the first in the series of five reviews of Katawa Shoujo. I'll be reviewing Emi through Rin. If you've never played this visual novel please be aware that I'll be covering it in-depth including story spoilers and I highly recommend you play it yourself before continuing further. I'll be starting right now with Emi...
>...perhaps the most confusing decision in this visual novel is how easy it is to get shafted down Emi's route in a first playthrough. Through exposition prior it is shown that Hisao, despite his circumstance, is looking to prove to himself, and those around him, that he is still as capable as was before. So when the player is presented by the challenge to keep up with Emi on the track they are already pre-conditioned to do so. This is sad because with the introduction of each individual path in the beginning I had already deducted that Hanako was going to be best girl yet I got this anal-slut but more on that later in the video. Now I'm not sure if this is by design as maybe the developers believed it to be the best path to showcase their visual novel or whether we can just chalk it up to inexperience...

he talks about one mechanic for 20 minutes in an attempt to sound smart and acts like a video game is art or any kind of fancy smancy stuff
i hate him

We're discussing a person's ideas, not him as a person.
>>321123435
I'd watch it.
>>321127456
fucking nerd

>>321127456
I don't get it. He works as a programmer, comes home, and starts to play a programming game.
The best I can do after a day of jobbing is work on a personal game for a bit, but even that is often hard. How does he manage to feel the desire to play a programming game?
Was his 6 hour video on Dark Souls any good? Is it worth keeping as background noise or actually listening to?
>>321131305
I enjoyed it, but if you already know everything about Dark Souls it won't be revolutionary. There were some really funny bits though.
>>321127456
I got the feeling from the Dark Souls commentary that he didn't like Bloodborne very much. Like, he didn't hate it and noted a few cool things it did, but overall I think he's a Demon's/Dark Souls man and Bloodborne didn't support the kind of way he wants to play these games.
>>321131305
It was pretty good if you like his stuff. If you want to pay attention I don't recommend doing it in one sitting, though. I watched it during lunch breaks at work over a week or so.
>>321131509

>>321126541
He said he won't do ZE, at least not soon, because ZE3 was confirmed
>>321131820
I like most of his ideas except tying Quicksilver Bullet capacity to Arcane/Bloodtinge stats. If they were just for damage and for fueling spell tools I'd agree, but they're also necessary for parrying.
>>321130127
Some people like in depth mechanics analysis. Its obviously not for everyone though
>Hello ladies and gentleman. This is the third in a series of four reviews I'll be doing on this tree inch penis. If you've never watched these videos before, then I recommending starting from the base and working your way up as this one picks up where those left off.

He talking about game mechanics is better than listening to average reviewers that know shit about programming or game design.
>>321130127

or maybe he's basing his review on the game mechanics
>>321124006

>>321133532
Maybe because is the only reviewer out there that knows something about game design. I would rather hear someone that know his shit in and out than someone that talks about "fun" and "muh feelings while playing a game"
>>321125757
You fucking nigger.
[Spoilers] I MAY HAVE EVEN RUFFLED SOME FEATHERS
>>321133883
I don't like Ruffles chips though
>>321133532
He knows his stuff, but borders on the "taking video games too seriously" line for me. Then again, the only other eceleb I'll even consider listening to is Northernlion talk about Canada. Everybody else is garbage and I'd rather just watch X-Files or Danger Man/The Prisoner or Space 1999 instead.
>>321134115
How is understanding game mechanics and what makes them good or bad "taking videogames too seriously"? Do the designers take them too seriously?
>>321133215
lol xD
>>321134321
calm down Matotsis
>>321134543
I'm not trying to come after you, I'm genuinely curious.
>Thinks he knows shit about vidya when he hasn't played every game ever
LOL
>>321134115
How does understanding game mechanics and how they work "taking games too seriously"?
I mean. for example I played Abe's Odyssey New and Tasty and got a pretty mix feeling while playing it and I couldn't figure out what the hell it was, the change to the analog stick was obvious and rather problematic at parts but after seeing Matthew review I understood that the game designers behind the reboot barely understood what made the original game good, from level design, to graphic design, to control, gameplay, lighting, etc etc. The guy doesn't just tell you if something is "good or fun" but rather talks in deep about stuff that matters when you are talking about games.
His reviews are even better when the most "celebrated" youtubers are fucking casuals that don't know shit about games and always ended up talking about generalities rather than tell you why a game mechanic sucks or not.
>>321131265
Well he presumably likes his job. Besides isn't that game only superficially about programming? It's just a puzzle game really, even if it's kind of similar to programming.

I doubt he's in love with it since he's quitting to do videos full time.
>>321124006
I love mecha so much, I hope he can get a new camera and greenscreen soon.
>>321131509
He really liked Bloodborne. He even stated he'd understand if some people tought this was the best souls game.
>>321131820
Idiots like this one, spread this around like he hated the game, when in reality it's just details he'd change.
Why is his voice so calming?
His constant tone and sporadic jokes make him undoubtedly the most relaxing human being alive.
>>321135676
There is more potential money to be made on the internet. I am sure he earned some money from his most viewed videos.
>>321134321
Wasn't me who replied to you there. I think he's fine, even though I'm not always interested in his content. I'm just too old to play games I don't enjoy after a few hours, and I don't feel the need to bitch about games I don't like. Not that he does that, but sometimes I'm watching him critique a certain aspect of a game and think, just put it down for an hour if this minor mechanic pisses you off so much in the moment.
I don't know, man, I'm a really patient /vr/fag and gloss over the nitpicks of the adhd generation. Not accusing Matt of that or anything, seems like an intelligent guy, just too in-depth on certain flaws that I couldn't care less about overcoming.
>>321124565
commit suicide hopefully
>>321135765
>Idiots like this one, spread this around like he hated the game, when in reality it's just details he'd change.
I mean, he does say at the end of the pastebin that he was really impressed with the game and liked it a lot. His changes are mostly good ideas, too.

>>321123435
Read it in his voice, and imagined him doing a river dance while reviewing the game.
>>321123435
This guy is seriously autistic I watched the entirety of his Dark Souls video and his complaints about the game are so fucking minor and when he starts talking about how games are made I almost just turned the fucking video off.

fuck it, i'm too good to imitate such trifles.
>>321131305
It's an autist that repeats what he said the first 30 minutes
6 hours is incredibly unncessesary and feel like he's just pretentious

He brought up some interesting points. Other than that, it's just a pretty well done commentary overall. Not much out of the ordinary. If you want some more in-depth and narrative analysis, but don't have 6 hours to spend, try Super Bunnyhop. He may look and talk like a dweeb and he can't look into the camera for his life, but he makes some good videos.
>>321138056

I'm not scared of skinwalkers, because there is absolutely no proof them existing.
I'm not scared of anything paranormal, ghosts, demons, skin-walkers, the chupacabra, none of it, because it's just not real.
I'm more afraid of being attacked by a wild animal than ever coming into contact with some fantasy creature.

This is true. The last horror movie I watched was Sinister and it drove me up the fucking wall.
>evil spirit enters the world through visual media depicting him
>kills the family he's haunting after they move to a new house
>"I kept watching all these videos but they were too spooky ;_; I'm gonna move my family back home."
>>321136590
People that think he's nitpicking are missing the point. He goes into detail about Souls because the design of the game necessitates it. Souls is a series that rewards players who look around and think critically - consider the beggar from Bloodborne for example. He asks you if you know of anywhere safe like four other NPCs have already, but there is something obviously not right with him due to the fact he's covered in blood and surrounded by bodies. The game immerses you by rewarding you for acting on instinct and killing him rather than just going along with it and sending him to the Cathedral just because that's what you did with every other NPC.
Because of this level of detail and observation, it means when shit doesn't make sense it stands out more. In Dark Souls 2 it doesn't make sense that the monsters in Aldia's Keep randomly break out of their cages. If the cages weren't strong enough to keep them locked in there's no reason the monsters would sit around passively until a random undead knight walks along. It's made worse by the fact some of the monsters don't break out of their cages regardless even though they easily could.
If you actually watch his videos you'll notice he doesn't apply those standards to other games like Mario. That's specifically because those games don't have the same design philosophies as Souls so things like the placement of enemies or the poses of NPCs are nowhere near as relevant.
Reminder that e-celeb threads, marketing and shilling are against the rules and should be reported. Thank you for your time.
>>321143098
To be fair Sinister subverted the cliche a little. When you watch most horror movies the family refuses to move out of a house that's clearly haunted for no reason. He became curious about the videos then moved out immediately after ghosts showed up. The problem was le epic twist was that the ghost only kills you after you leave.
>>321143518
Placement of enemies is actually super important in a Mario game.
>>321144120
In the 3D ones?
>>321144360
Perhaps a bit less so. Then you got 3D World that's kind of an in between. Enemy placement more important than the other 3D ones but less than the 2D ones.
>>321144120
The placement of enemies in any game is important because they're obstacles the player has to get past. There usually isn't much to talk about though other than the challenge they present or what they might be guarding.
The placement and appearance of enemies in Souls is usually important because it says something about the lore or gives gameplay hints. You can infer a lot about Old Yharnam from how the beasts there act, look and where you meet them, and the fact some of them poison you gives you a hint that you should expect to deal with poison in the level which becomes a major issue when you fight BSB.
>>321144056
My problem was that he kept doing exactly what he wasn't supposed to do after already establishing the connection between the occultic elements, the videos, and the houses. If he hadn't found out about the houses until after they moved that would have been one thing, but he had already traced the pattern back several decades before he decided to move. Even if he still didn't believe in the evil spirit, there was a clear pattern of families getting killed after they moved out of the house the last family was killed in.
