There's your answer for how it took so long.
That and Arin keeps talking to literally every NPC.

>>31192923
Don't forget doing nothing or staying on the same textbox for 4 minutes so they can make shitty jokes.

Because >>31192923 and that they are horrendous at pokemon on an unhuman level.

The only good way to watch GG nowadays is through a "This is how you don't play".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJg3HP36FrM&t=7727s

>>31192899
Arin literally battles every single fucking wild Pokemon he encounters, and of course he bought like 30 Potions but no Repels.

>>31192905
This.

>>31192899
Isn't the intro of the game really long though,?

Watching this video makes me wonder how he is even capable of playing any of those games he mentions on Sequelitis.

This is legit worse than my mother trying to play OoT for the first time.

>>31193063
People get worse at video games as they get older. I could beat Donkey Kong Country without getting hit back when I was 9, now twenty years later I'd be lucky to make it through the first three stages without a game over.

Reflexes and coordination go to shit, it's all part of life.

>>31192899
nigga I spended 27 hours just fucking around in the first island
and why are you watching GG in the first place?

Game Grumps are shit tbqh. I don't find their content very entertaining.

>>31193149
>350 episodes in
>Still talking to Lillie

Who else /grumps/ here?

>>31193126
It popped up in my recommendations.

If you want fast or even remotely decent gameplay, you should not be watching Grumps.

I'm not saying "oh they're doing nothing wrong" because lord knows Arin losing to a fucking Lv. 5 Yungoos is absolutely idiotic. But if you want good pacing in your lets plays, Grumps is not for you.

>>31192899
They've played about 2 hours. Which is honestly 100% reasonable considering that they're also just bullshitting and being distracted


>>31192905
Maybe, too bad Ross is a psychopath piece of shit.

>>31193063
Go watch his playthrough of OoT. He can't play those games. He's terrible at that shit and his whole sequelitis video on the game is clearly from his own ignorance.

>>31193113
Yeah. Or maybe you used to smash the shit out of that game regulary and were practised at it. And now its been so long that you don't have those skills anymore.

Things do detoriate, but you're not suddenly grandpa joe when you hit 30.

>>31192899
it's the journey not the destination

how the hell would you make an hour of un-ending diolog entertaining in the beginning of sun and moon?

>>31193238
Sadly the journey consists of Arin making barely ineligible noises for 10 minutes while Danny sits there being chill as fuck.

Why couldn't it be Danny actually playing? Him playing through and picking pokemon he thinks are cool would have been fun as fuck.

>>31192899
>>Episode 11
>>Only just reached Hau'oli city
>How can people watch this
Well, it's not like it's much slower than the actual game, right?

>>31192969
You know the only thing worse than Arin not being able to backup his claims in sequelitis? The dick sucking fanboys who defend his views in the comment section of some of those videos, no matter how atrociously he was playing.

>>31193755
why do people watch sport when they can just play it

>>31193932
well said anon

>>31193755
I usually watch more for the personality of the person than the content of the game. It's like a podcast for me. That or because the story of the game is interesting, but the mechanical gameplay is bad and I don't feel like tolerating it.

>>31193932
Im not sure if this was sarcasm but desu I do question this. It's fat lazy people who watch other people play sport and get all overly hyped/supportive. I don't know why, if the love it so much, they don't just fucking play it themselves and lose some weight. At least with a game you get to see strategies or learn shit that helps you, with sport it's like... what did you achieve by watching this? I really don't get it.

>>31192899
>2017
>STILL watching Game Grumps

How? Why? They're terrible.

>>31194161
Not everyone who watches sports is fat and lazy. I know plenty of active people who just don't have the opportunity/talent/time/people to play. To play a sport legitimately is a huge task to accomplish if you aren't already on a team. But they watch because they're following a local team to support because maybe they went to that school or have friends who do, and then they end up getting interested in watching the competition so they can see how the team they support will fare.

ITT: Battles/Moments Arin will inevitably be stuck at/fail to accomplish
I don't even watch Game Grumps, but something tells me he's going to be at Mallow's Trial for a while

>>31193755
Why watch tourneys for Pokémon and fightan then as well? It's still watching people play games that you could easily play.

>>31193324
I know right? Watching someone with no pokemon experience is always more fun than watching someone who's just gonna make a cookie cutter story team. Just look at NCS and his Sapphire LP, that shit was fucking COMFY

>>31193932
Because they could have money on it or watching high class play for the best players around

>>31194336
Sazzle Totem is very frustrating so I think that'll be a struggle espically if he doesn't pick up scald or something

I actually blacked out due to not being prepared beforehand and RNG bullshit+Petya Berry Ect. But when I came back I OHKO'd it with Waterium Z

>>31192921
The BB series is actually really good

>>31194161
>sports
>less strategy than video games.

Nigger most sports have almost a century of tactical history and evolution. stop projecting just because you got picked last.

>>31192921
>>31194429
Shadow of the Colossus is easily their best playthrough, however it's almost entirely because Dan is playing and it's a new experience for him.

Bloodborne and their Dark Souls III playthroughs are decent primarily because Arin -is- actually okay at video games when he pays attention to them, and you can't play Souls-type games without paying attention to them. The reason he's so ass at Pokemon is that he doesn't think he needs to pay attention so he ends up talking while repeatedly attacking in dumb ways.

>>31194336
Hau when he first has his Raichu is going to push his shit in

>>31193755
I like to have grumps on in the background while playing other games. And at my job I have a shit ton of free time so I bring my DS and watch youtube videos or streams. I could watch maybe 20 minutes at a time before I'm like "ok time for me to actually DO something" but I have friends who marathon this kind of stuff and thats cool, not for me though. Its good white noise

>>31194336
Every single major NPC or totem battle. Every single one.

>>31192899
Because their videos are only about 10 minutes long, out of which only about 7 are them playing the game.
Besides, the beginning of the game is slow. It took me about 2 hours to get to there when I played.

>>31193897
>don't have the time
But you do have the time to watch other people playing it? This makes literally no sense at all

>>31193932
Why do I think you're a fat, greasy neckbeard who barely sees the sun once or twice a month? People watch sports because they enjoy watching experts doing physically insane shit due to being 10 times more trained than the average person. Meanwhile people who do lets-plays are just some average idiots who most of the time don't even know what they are doing.

>>31194739

No man, fat and lazy people watch porn, lets plays and jerk it on pokegirls threads in /vp/.

>he isn't watching / listening to Brandon Sun Kyle Moon

>>31194811
>still spending time on watching scrubs playing a game you still could play faster yourself even considering the x1.25 speed function

Your argument is kind of irrelevant dude.

>>31194739
I guess you're incapable of multitasking? When you're watching a video it's completely hands off, leaving you do to other more important stuff.

Also most decent youtubers cut unnecessary footage so hours of gameplay get condensed into less than half an hour.

>>31193932
this is the stupidest post

i should take a break from /vp/

>>31193063
>>31192969
No joke, i hate how he said Z Targetting is bad and makes it easier. No, it makes it playable. And even the AVGN agrees to the point he says that "Reinhardt can't hit anything with his whip since it goes straight, and it would benefit heavily with Z Targetting like how Zelda did with OoT"
It makes it easier because it also makes it actually fucking playable. Personally, I love Z Targetting and would prefer it over almost any other attacking/lock on method for the series except for maybe the Warriors Zelda games.

>>31192899
You watch game grumps for the game play? You'd be better off watching Holly and Ross play it if that's the case. Arin and Dan are a comedy duo long before they're people playing video games.

all your credibility was lost at this one word.

>>31195012
Nah, Dan's a way better game player than Arin, may I even say, maybe even more than Jon. but even then, Jon plays a specific set of games and is good at them especially counter strike since he grew up on that shit.

>>31194878

Does zero fetishes count as a weird fetish cuz asexuality is weird like that.

What else is there to watch? Don't have a TV and am too much of a poorfag to have Netflix or anything else that costs money. I mean, I guess I could weeb it up and watch some anime.

>>31195209
asexuality is as weird as it gets senpai but don't you worry about that
>I guess I could weeb it up
Do it, anime world is vast and full of wonders

>>31193011
Provided that they even finish the game.

>hurr they suck because they fight wild pokemon and don't use repels

Fuck off, that's a perfectly acceptable way to play. I'm sure a lot of you took longer judging by the "40 hours in and just made it to akala island, so comfy!" threads. If people tuned in to game grumps for just the gameplay, they should be watching literally any other lets play

>Hi!
DAHAHA OMG OAK SHIT HIS PANTS DUDE THAT IS SO FUNNY DUDE DID I EVER TELL YOU THIS STORY ABOUT THIS TIME I SHIT MY PANTS IN PUBLIC AND

That's why every episode takes so long. Or alternatively:
>skip over text that explains how to do something
>spend 3 episodes trying to figure out how to do that thing

>>31194161
Unlike a video game that anyone can play and pick up any day of the week, I can't go out and play sports. I can exercise yes, but team sports, no.

Sports players tend to be more physically fit, so of course people would want to watch them.

>>31193932
a lot of people like their country, not the sport

>>31195379
Don't forget, TEAM Sport. As in everyone has to be coordinated. That can take as little as a month to a year. I would know. My high school football team was the laughing stock of the entire state, and even our fucking high school.

Main audience is post millenial kids that can't be arsed to do anything themselves.

>>31193755
I like to see people play games better than me. I like Street Fighter but love seeing others play it and do like 30 hit combos with Guile. I love Marvel Vs Capcom and can't do much but I love seeing people rage quit against Phoenix Wright who is considered the worst character in the game by many. Sometimes I like to see how others play it and I also like seeing multiplayer games like Mario Party and just watching how they play, and being mad and happy and shit. That's the main reason I watch people play, to see them happy with games I love.
that and i would rather not play Sonic 06 or Sonic Boom myself.

I watched like two minutes of one of their video that was posted on here and I've never seen anything as cringeworthy and unfunny in my entire life. It's like they're deliberately saying the most outdated and awful jokes as possible. And it's not that "so bad it's good" kind of bad, it's just plain bad. I expected their videos to be full of dislikes but they actually seem quite popular. Why? What is wrong with people? Or is it just a bunch of 9-year-old kids giving the likes? I don't understand.

>>31197815
Whenever two people decide to make a co op gaming channel, it's a rip off of game grumps
worst of all is that they said this to the runaway guys
which predates GG by at least a year.

>>31195102
I mean yeah, totally fair. The tennis episodes are proof positive of that for sure.

>>31193804
From what I can tell, they both are. Ross tells people wrong info and cheats in a few games, but both of them are crazy in their own manner

Latest episode? They thought Bonsly was Grass/Steel.

>watching game grumps

You should just kill yourself while you can and make the world a better place.

>>31197815
It's the personalities more than the gameplay. I find Dan to be pretty likable.

>>31196803

uh, do you want to pinpont some of that down?

>>31192899
Because Arin is a high school drop out, and Dan enables his retardation by not calling him out on his shit.

>Bloodborne and their Dark Souls III playthroughs are decent

Didn't Bloodboring go on for a billion episodes? Back when I still watched Game Grumps, I gave up on this series because it was just him killing things/dying and then making poo jokes.

>>31194488
The best playthrough is the Dan-only Space quest and the Sierra games with Dan and Ross.

The Pokemon playthroughs are terrible.

You know, I'd be inclined to agree IF they had good comedy. But they don't.

Their """"animation"""" is bottom of the barrel fucking stanky garbage, with Arin "I have literally zero fucking attention span and critical thinking skills" Hanson spouting fucking shit opinions like they're facts, skipping dialog explaining things then bitching because he doesn't know how to fucking do said things, failing to make any sort of progress on FUCKING ZELDA GAMES and playing like a 2 year old child on top of it, and their braindead group of deluded fanboys defending his whoreshit while at the same time being brainwashed by him to the point where they parrot his same shit (and false) opinions.

This shit brings my piss to a boil. Why, WHY the fuck are they so popular?

>>31193113
Speak for yourself.

Fuck, I really like the grumps but I don't get these videos. We know that they suck, but we aren't exactly watching for high skilled gameplay. Kids and hardcore fans aren't gonna watch it and will get mad for insulting their gods. People who already dislike the grumps will already dislike them anyway.

>>31194336
Totem Lurantis, Olivia's Kahuna battle and the battle against Guzma during the Aether raid. Literally the only fighst I had a lot of trouble in

>>31197815
Some videos are hit or miss. I'd suggest watching a video for a game you like or are familiar with so you can focus on them instead of both. That's how I got into Best Friends Play via their Jojo playthroughs

>>31199438
Arin wouldn't be familiar with it all I think. Its only battled like 3 times in the story

>>31200442

Please calm the fuck down. Just don't read the comments, simple as fucking that

Pic related

I like Arin's sense of humor.

>>31203119
>>31197815

That's been a problem everywhere. We stopped making clever humor for kids and went for cheap stupidity and trained them to think that's real humor.

>>31192899
I tried to watch the first episode of this. Couldn't even watch 3 minutes of it because it was all just them making a bunch of retarded ass noises. What the fuck happened to Game Grumps?

>>31193755
Because it's like watching TV!

>>31193591
This is the only correct answer. Best part is Ding Dong said they're planning on finishing Pokemon Red.

>>31205119
As it was pointed out in the video
>play bad on purpose
>refuse to listen and pay attention so you can make toilet humor and vlog
>something that could have been done in 2 episodes is extended to 10
>dumb kids will continue to watch "for the commentary"
>make more money
I could forgive shit skills if it was funny and justified (like a hard, simple old game for example) but such simple mistakes followed by unfair criticism is just unacceptable

>>31205119
Oh fucking please, you know the problem isn't the comments.

The comments just show how deluded people can get by nothing but the stupid noises and screams of a manchild that can't fucking play 3D videogames properly. Criticise them and you get "well if you don't like it don't watch it!" or "if you're watching them for skill you're doing it wrong!".
They're enabling their pathetic excuse for "humor", which boosts their popularity, which leads to more kids watching and more spreading. Lather, rinse and repeat.
They don't even have to try to be funny. They have drones to defend their shit playthroughs because "well that's their schtick you know?!?", but somehow miss the fact that said humor is nothing but fucks, goddammits, Arin being like a fucking hyperactive kid with 10 jars of sugar in his system, not even knowing the fucking controls of a single game, having zero common sense or problem solving skills, making fun of EVERY SINGLE FUCKING NPC and never playing attention to what any of them say, not knowing what to do, more screaming, dying, calling the game bullshit because he sucks monkey dick at it, and so on and so fucking forth.

Why do you think this is even remotely acceptable? Oh wait, you're a drone yourself.
Go suck Arin's ADHD cock, you dipshit. Their garbage content represents the downfall of internet video sharing.

The series is dragging and is shit because Dan isn't playing. Usually playthroughs are really enjoyable when Dan is playing. It's almost like Arin is purposely being shit at the game just to make the series longer.

>>31192899
I haven't bothered with any of their playthrough since jon left, are there any noteable ones that are even worth watching?

>>31193755

I almost never watch playthroughs but if I do it's always because of the personality
