Memes bring everyone together

She played it at the right time, when the meme resurgence peaked.

>>23574236
Yes they are good dumb games that has a dedicated old fans

>>23574236
Nah, I didn't like Luca and Sonny's MGR stream, but Pomu's stream is non-stop kino, because of her hilarious comments on what's going on in the game.

>>23574236
Pomu's was a case of right place at the right time being the first mainstream EN to play through it (that I know of) right as MGR memes were making their comeback. Combined with her genuine reactions to everything as she went in completely blind and it made for an incredible couple of streams.

The game is fun enough that the other livers' streams are probably still good (haven't watched any of them myself) but I don't think they'll manage to hit the same highs that Pomu's did.

>>23574236
Pomu's reaction and commentary is what buffed her MGR stream. Alban, Sonny, and Luca's stream of it was actually a debuff because they don't really react to the story as much.

Its a buff but only for the reactions, remember the stikmin arc? I get the feeling Sonny and Albyn already played MGR or watched it beforehand.

Same for fleshtubers, Vinny or Max0r's first playthrough was fun for the reactions to the stupid shit, then you have connor who not only clearly didn't get it but also had weirdly timed markplier reactions to random shit.

nah, it was a debuff because their fans didnt watch. they didnt get a buff because of the reasons you listed but their w*men fans didn’t watch for reasons such as the game being too violent.
iirc luca received pity SCs from his fans who tuned out

>>23574236
Max0r was in the chat for the second stream lol

>>23574236
MGR was always hype and it helps to have no competition since Holos don't have Konami perms.

>>23574236
- 1rst "big" En vtuber to play it
- Good timeslot choice
- Great reactions and was engaged in the story, you can tell she was really interested to where the game was going
- Bad ad games, played the game on easy but still somehow struggled a bit, so she didn't stomp the game nor was hard locked on a particular fights, so the balance of the stream was good.

it was the first thing to happen after a big corpo finally got konami perms, and it also happened right as a big meme video about it got popular

>MGR memes are making a comeback
Where? Reddit?

>>23576391
niji had konami permissions for years, since 2019 at least.

Basically everywhere that isn't 4chan since we already made our memes about it ten years ago. Very easy to identify who's played the game or not these days since the memes usually have the wrong music playing in the background so people who have only experienced the memes will start spamming lyrics during incorrect parts of the game during streams for example.

I think Alban said he had played all of the mgs games but then didn't know what a ray was lmao

>>23574236
>Is MGR the biggest buff game there is?
Probably

>>23575286
>vinnys reaction to make america great again, hikari-chan and your memes end here

>>23574236

>>23583831
Pomu is BUFF.

>>23574236
Pomu unleashed her /pol/ personality and audience for this one so it was a buff.

>>23574236
