Good gaming channels on Youtube?

[AscendedFlames]

Is that a... presentable looking fellow covering retro video games? I expected an awkwardly balding fat slob of a manchild, damn it! I didn't pay for this!

And he speaks like a normal person too, rare I know, in the age of constant phonetic change to appease the ADD crowd.

Avoiding the puddle is the only good gaming channel on youtube. he is the stand-up comedian of the streaming world and I mainly only watch the edited short youtube clips of him on your tube tearing his audience a new one which he does constantly.

Good channel for Gothic fags:

After years of silence ThunderPsyker finally graces us with his Dawn of War 2 video.

Love Ragnar Rox, Szeeth and Mandalore but Grimdark is my favorite channel; he rarely does “mainstream” titles and mostly focuses on interesting horror games and indies.

 

[HansDampf]

I'm not sure about Ragnarox. He talks like he wants to rape me with his voice.

Ragnarox's videos are borderline okay, but his twitter is a never-ending stream of smug "Fuck gamers, amirite?"

He's such a fucking faggot on twitter and likely also IRL, but god damn his videogame essays are pretty great, highly recommended. Lastly, he also helped Pathologic 2 a lot with getting exposure, so he stays in the OK book.

Yup and in the case of Pathologic 2 it was pretty great that Mandalore, Grimdark and Ragnar did their videos at the pretty much the same time since it gave some much needed exposure to the game
Ragnar’s The Void and Rule of Rose are fantastic essays and the fact that he does a lot of really obscure indies makes me think that rather than him beign a darkie hipster he really cares about the indie scene

Here is another Deus Ex video:



Initially i expected a retread of pretty much every other Deus Ex video but outside the history parts near the beginning it was mostly commentary which personally found interesting.

(though i don't know where i found this guy, he has very few subscribers and i thought it was from this thread but went back a few pages and couldn't find a reference :-P but anyway it looks like he has some interesting videos... even though ii only remember watching the King's Field one)

 

[Invictus]

He’s good, does a lot of open world content... found him through New Vegas

Speaking of Deus Ex

 

[Jvegi]

Have not seen it yet, just popped up in my subscription feed. I'm sure it's good though.

Another shout out for my boyy Chris, a noob with a brain.

EDIT: Fuck me, I'm late.

tl;dw
"Mostly"?

People butthurt about accents are fucking annoying. Many of the foreign-born people really do sound like that when speaking English, and some of them sound even worse.

Numale complaints about conspiracies being gross and problematic. Into the trash it goes.

 

[A horse of course]

CyberWhale Hoaxmetal thanks for saving me from wasting my time.

Jarpie the Dragon Age video was good, didn't really break down the problems with stuff like the combat systems and such but he seems to focus pretty heavily on writing in his reviews, same with the Outer Worlds and Pillars stuff.

Your feelings got hurt, you snowflake bitch cuck?

 

[HansDampf]

And I was kinda hoping he had some legitimate complaints about game balance or something.

Something that's cool in Deus Ex, that I've never seen anyone remark, is that you have to work for your preferred ending. It's not enough to say "I want the Tracer Tong ending" and you push a button. If you aren't good enough at the game to complete your preferred ending's objectives in Area 51, you might have to settle for another one. This influences any philosophical or ethical conundrum you might have regarding the choice, and it's appropriate to the rest of the game. You want to keep Paul or Jock alive? Then play the game better.

By comparison, Human Revolution just gives you two buttons and tells you to press one of them. The quest "That Lucky Old Sun" from New Vegas falls into the same trap. You get to the top of HELIOS One and decide where to direct the power, the end. In essence, it's a separation of narrative from gameplay, which should be verboten in the RPG genre.

You mean Ludonarrative dissonance?



Anyway, I follow SNES drunk. I don't really consider his opinion/critique all that important nor do I actually agree with him necessarily, but I like that he covers a huge amount of old games and provides simple commentary in his pleasant voice.







A couple of nice JRPG videos.
