Why do you guys have to be such elitists? Someone talks about a retro game on a board for retro games but instead of talking about it you just use it as an excuse to scare away a new poster to feel better about youreslf. Look I'm sorry you feel the retro videogame market is overinflated becuase of youtubers but they're just trying to make a living you know?

>> No.3304363

Beaten in three times, game is awesome but flawed.

Sometimes you won't be able to jump, enemies projectiles turn invisible, bosses enemies turn invincible, and some stages go on forever.

Also anytime you get hit in the air rip you, you are fucking dead. It sucks as the game wants you to be fast in the 2nd to last room, but then you get fucked by rng flubber or not jumping when you want it to. Typical irem nintendo difficulty.

Why exactly is it a problem? The OP of these threads never says anything about Cinemassacre, never uses obnoxious memes, or anything like that. These could just be discussions about the games, but someone always bitches about it. Of course, that bitching is exactly what the OP wants, so it doesn't fucking help.

>> No.3304379

>>3304365
No seriously what you guys should do is ignore it because everytime you reply you bump it it to the top of the thread causing more people to see it and reply to it. Since there was no real discussion it would have just died of natural causes otherwise. Plus if you're right and they are trolling you your reaction is exactly what they want. I mean I know what I'm going to do when the next James and Mike comes out.

it's completely different if watching a youtuber shows you a new thing that you then like. It becomes something you internalize and like so making a thread about something you like is ok even if you like it because a youtuber liked it first there aren't any limit on how many times a thing can be liked even if lots of people liked it before I mean lots of Japanese people liked it before any youtuber liked it so if I liked it too it's ok but you disagree because your a weaboo who can only like something a youtuber liked if they didn't like it and only japanese liked it.

Satanic Panic. Evangelicals in late 1980s US were instructed by their lord and savior Jerry Falwell to boycott any company that had anything to do with demons. Nintendo would have been ducked harder than TSR under the squishy fist of The Lump, Lorraine Williams. True AD&D won out. Can't stop the Holy Spirit from working magic quality into art.

I really liked the game but had to surrender. After the floating castle turret over a pit boss I assumed this game could not get any tougher.

The section with wall faces, pits and pools of lava you have to freeze in order to fight even more faces was my quiting point. Turns out that part and one climbing up room was the end of the game.

No. It is a meme.

People make these threads after seeing the corresponding Cinemassacre video, not because they are braindead sheep who just follow YouTube, but rather because it is a joke. It pisses people off and they find it funny to pretend to be a braindead YouTube baby.

I wouldn't have a problem discussing it, it's just that I know the only reason you want to "talk about the game" is because you want to discuss the episode you just watched. We only need 1 e-celeb thread, this is just a stealth e-celeb thread.

I say this, because it does get discussed when talking about Castlevania-like games like 8 Eyes or Master of Darkness.

Yep.

His Kid Dracula streams were cut from 1-1.5 hours on twitch down to 30 mins because he cut out all his fails and some chat interaction.

I can see why someone might not care to watch that, but half of the fun for me is laughing at his mistakes.

>> No.3318085

>>3317846
He's really bad at talking to the chat too. It's so unnatural. Like he's gotta pause and read it then answer the question, then he's silent while he plays, except for a curse when he gets hit, then another pause to read the chat. He should study someone like Aris who streams flawlessly and knows how to make it flow.

>> No.3318513

>>3318085
His earlier streams were way worse, regarding chat. His whole head would be off cam while he read. Some of his "what the fuck I jumped!!!???!" tantrums are super cringey and makes me realize how annoying I must sound when im doing that. I still enjoy the full streams though.

His best stream was probably the zelda swordless run attempt he did with ryan. Fucking hilarious when he sent ryan to get pizza.

I wish theyd do more streams from screenwave like that, just chilling.

That's the thing about Mike that always made me think he isn't fun to watch while he plays vidya, he gets legit pissed at the games he's playing and throws these tantrums where he's visibly upset.

I really enjoyed some of Mike's earlier streams, but you do make a good point. He should talk more in his streams because they have gotten tiresome. He used to talk a lot more during his streams about random stuff. I also like when he invites Bootsy or Ryan but he hasn't done that much
