Surprise, surprise.

He's pretty good at making himself look like he knows what he's talking about, especially the megaman x episode, but when he actually got around to playing it he couldn't even use the buster to defeat armored armadillo, one of the games easiest bosses

>>384764431
>Arin tries to sound like he knows anything about gaming when in reality he's full of shit
Color me surprised.

If Arin drops dead like Jontron is doing now and it's just Dan playing old Sierra games, i would not even bat an eye and just watch that shit.

I remember arin said something really fucking stupid during the Dark souls 3 LP. Can't remember what game it was exactly but I remember getting seriously pissed. Most likely my memory of him saying it was blanked out to not infect my brain with arin's STD like bullshit.

>>384765569
He once said that games shouldn't have any story or narrative because he just wants to shoot/beat stuff.
Even in his BB and DS playthroughs he basically was rushing through the game and was angry when he got killed.
It's mindblowing how someone so stupid can be successful.

if you are Arin, every game is too hard

I was playing OoT on a emulator with X360 controller and never had problems with this part.

As much as /v/ likes to shit on LPers and e-Celebs in general, Arin is really in a class of his own. He's not just bad at games, he constantly blames the game for every one of his fuck-ups, and then claims to know game design as if he's some sort of industry veteran.

>>384765569
>I remember arin said something really fucking stupid during the Dark souls 3 LP.
In Zelda he said that second hand smoke isn't a thing and that school is retarded like back to back.

The whip is OP though and the game is easy as fuck until the castle.

>>384766534
Oh good. He's practically /v/'s /ourguy/

"HERP. GAMEPLAY IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS"

"DERP. PEOPLE THAT LOVE THIS GAME BUT IT ACTUALLY SUCKS, LOL. FUCKING COME AT ME."

He drew cartoons to get to where he's at and the only reason I'd want him to remain is so that Dan looks even better than he acually is in comparison. You could put a literal piece of shit next to Arin making Toad noises talking about going on butt sniffing adventures and people would love the piece if shit more over Arin.

>>384767005
so he's basically DSP before DSP became a streamer

>>384766793
Having more control can be bad, yes. A game's controls are only good or bad depending on the rest of the game and its goals. Castlevania was always about timing and item use, Castlevania 4 removed the emphasis from the two and is a more mindless, reactive game. Also shit like air control is so overblow, you could lock the jump arc and the game would still play pretty much the same.

I thought the argument was that the whip only got improved in a way that completely invalidated sub weapons while not really bringing enough actually new to gameplay. Like there was the swing hooks, but that was it, wasn't it?

>>384764431
I can't believe he thought a QoL change to a weapon so you didn't have to jump and whip made every item that damages enemies more than once pointless. Arin is just a fuccboi that thought he knew game design. Look at his mario levels and you can tell he doesn't.

>>384767493
He's right on that though, the items in IV are not worth using in most situations because you can just use your whip

>>384767493
It's not a qol change, that's nonsense. Jumping and whipping to begin with requires far more timing than simply standing and whipping in the direction od the enemy, the two are very different gameplay styles. It also might not remove the need for items that damage enemies quickers but it removes the need for items that cover your weakness like the axe or holy water. Item use being just about increasing dps is a step down.

Let's say Egoraptor, DSP and Spoony are trapped in a room and unable to leave until they work together to finish Ocarina of Time without any form of outside assistance. Would they be able to do it?

Just have Spoony play solo. He's insane, not incompetent.

The whip is overpowered in the sense that it changes the pacing of the game to something that feels a little less meticulous and deliberate. I like the game for what it is, but my issue with it isn't the balancing (although I did think the other Classicvanias are mostly more interesting in that respect) so much as the fact the whip controls could have had a lot of cool applications.

SCIV is a harder game to me than Rondo or Bloodlines (sans expert mode maybe). The game being too easy isn't my problem with it.

>>384765569
I think those solo Dan episodes might be the only Episdoes of Game Grumps I've liked, they were just incredibly chilled out, and it was somebody actually playing a game and paying attention to it, not just some autistic fuck yelling about how retarded the game is because he isn't paying attention.

This and the Wind Waker video make me far angrier than anything this small should. I just can't understand how this man can function in everyday life if he can be so inane, incompetent, and boneheaded at something he supposedly enjoys and does for fun.

>b-b-b-b-b-but he's trying really hard to be funny all the time, it takes REAL concentration
If only he was funny to begin with.
Him saying that he is not a let's player but a "professional comedian" is probably the most pathetic thing i heard him say. They seriously believe they are above other shitty e-celebs.

>>384768451
It bugs me so much how Dan has no idea about what's going on in any game but dead rising and NES games even when he's the one playing.

Wait don't tell me he actually had trouble with Wind Waker? I can understand being bored with it, it's incredibly tedious, but it's far and away the easiest Zelda game ever made. Surely even a dunce like him couldn't actually feel CHALLENGED by it.

Not him but they had to use a guide to look up how to get the shield

>>384764431
he's correct tho
the whip is too OP while not being used enough as a means to get through the level, making beating enemies non-challenging while progressing to the level is still as slow as back in Castlevania 1 and 2

You can literally go to any part of this video and watch Arin fucking up something incredibly simple or obvious to figure out. I'm so masochistic I watched the entire fucking thing.

>>384769046
Yes, that was it. Wasn't he like throwing the statues from far away for a really long time before people bitched at him for not dropping them?

>>384764739
Its item crash is pretty good in Rondo.

>>384768737
Dan is a spaced-out old man, of course he's not going to know what's going on

Arin is truly one of a kind, he is the only sperg i know of that hates sonic.

>>384764431
Most of the game is easy as fuck though.

>>384768027
They've all at least beaten the game while in their cringy personas. I'm sure they can just power through it in a day or so.

Mega Man is a series he actually likes.

I think it has a really high throw rate in SotN, or maybe that was CotM. I remember it being an okay subweapon in some game, but yeah the knife is almost always trash.

Why do people give a shit about what he says? He hasn't been relevant since Metal Gear Awesome.

>>384766534
Because there are tons of people even stupider than that.

>>384771820
He has a good eye for recognizing game design and he does make some valid points in his criticism of newer Castelvania games. Understanding basic game design doesn't mean you're actually good at games. I'd imagine Miyamoto is pretty bad at most games out on the market.

>>384772329
Because he used to be fairly smart and compitent at games, now he's DSP tier at best.

Everyone hates seeing someone who's shit at games try and critic a game or say that their own failures are because the game is poorly made.

Miyamoto is now a creative fellow, no longer planning or directing games and plays the Banjo or just plays around in his garden on his off time, as opposed to, not only a video game fan, Arin PLAYS Video Games for a FUCKING LIVING.
