Why would you choose the worst one

we all know he actually hates it because he's terrible at video games. so anything beyond the complexity of 2D games like alttp is too much for him.

If you take this shit seriously Celeb Friedman, then you're one sorry idiot, who needs to play more games instead of listening to faggots like that. Saged and hidden.

epic, simply epic
Explain how Arin is knowledgeable about videogame design.
He's done nothing to design a video game. He hasn't studied programming. He hasn't even gone to college.
He's occasionally funny in animations. That's it.

His older sequelitis's were actually pretty good. Shit like teaching through level design, making sure your tools have actual uses, etc were all objective and actually good points(if not obvious). It's just sad to see he's the reason devs have to put all the tutorials and shit in games these days because apparently colorcoding shit to characters isn't obvious enough.

It's funny because /v/ wouldn't be able to articulate a single element of good game design without parroting what they heard their e-celebs say.

Exactly. 5 minutes of any given GDC conference will have more pearls of wisdom than this faggot has shit out in his entire life.
Now, if I was 12 years old like all his fans, I'd get why people find him entertaining/enlightening.
look at me, i can throw buzzwords and memes too!

>>332779228
His sequelitis videos are just him pointing out the obvious and why MMX is clearly superior to the original megaman games.

He makes good points, but I feel as if he thinks that tutorials are always bad and that is just wrong, there are times when you just have to outright tell the player about a certain mechanic trough text/images/whathaveyou instead of trying to convey it through the level design, you can teach them how to jump, shoot and other simple actions, but the more complex the mechanic the more trouble you'll have coming up with effective ways to teach the player about it. I mean, good fucking luck trying to teach someone playing Dark Souls for the first time about parrying, poise, negative stamina, etc. using only the level design of the starting area—without using any words or images whatsoever.

Colleen pls rest your mammals, you're PMSing again.

>implying they aren't all equally bad
Also, Egoraptor himself admitted those are bad and that the only redeeming factor they have is the "humor".
The guy knows jack shit about game design.

>there are times when you just have to outright tell the player about a certain mechanic trough text/images/whathaveyou instead of trying to convey it through the level design
I don't know about this. At the most, you can simply have an optional sign telling you how to play, and have an enemy or piece of the level that looks like you can practice the game mechanic there. Have it be out of the way and optional, instead of being a massive hurdle to the actual fun part of the game.
Ocarina of Time kinda did this by having NPCs describe gameplay mechanics, and you could avoid them, but alot of times you were forced to listen to them blabber on, and in the case of finding new items, you had to go through the exact same, canned animation every time, and read the dialog over and over. I know I'm parroting Arin here, but he made a good point here. Why can't they minimize the amount of talking, especially when you're getting an item you already have?
>>332779230
bane?
>>332781282
Is that the point he makes in the video? I refuse to watch it.
I've always felt that way about Super Mario World. I don't need Yoshi to fucking explain to me how he got in the goddamn egg, let's just run to the right and jump on stuff. 3 didn't need that crap, you learned by doing. Maybe SMW should be categorized as an adventure game.
>>332781653
If you ask me, I Don't think he went far enough. Ocarina of TIme, for all of its positive points, had alot of problems too. Like I've mentioned before, why is every single cutscene unskippable? Why does half the dialog actively prevent you from skipping it, or even speeding it up? Why is Hyrule Field empty and devoid of anything interesting, except maybe an NPC or two? Why do none of the remakes, ports, remasters, etc do anything to fix the lacking difficulty? Things like that.
>>332782073
Not that I think the game is bad, but it needs improvement.
>>332778894
>you need to know programming to determine the quality of a game
your other points are valid but you dont need to know programming at all to critique video game design, especially if the source code for the game isn't available for you to look over for inefficient uses in memory or poor AI design.
when you're presented with the game itself you can't say anything about the programming besides basic level shit like "the AI is retarded" and even then you can't make meaningful critique about it anyways.
How about this guy?
>>332781023
Nah, the megaman one was an interesting perspective on teaching moments in gaming. A lot of it is fairly obvious but that doesn't mean the video is trash.
>>332778626
>muh gamefeel
Made up words. He's on par with niggers making up names, honestly.
>>332782073
>why is every single cutscene unskippable?
That was normal at the time, especially for cut-scenes rendered in-engine.
>Why does half the dialog actively prevent you from skipping it, or even speeding it up?
That was normal for the time.
>Why is Hyrule Field empty and devoid of anything interesting, except maybe an NPC or two?
It was one of the first games that did anything like it, they did the best they could or knew.
>Why do none of the remakes, ports, remasters, etc do anything to fix the lacking difficulty?
Fair point. Though there is Master Quest, but that's not exactly standard difficulty increase.
I just feel that most of Ocarina of Time's design problems can be explained by its age.
