SupooperMario4 5 days ago#1 I know this might sound incredibly petty but I just don't really like GameXplain's coverage anymore to be honest, they have become very run-of-the-mill and predictable, and pretty much threw out all of their original ideas (cool bits, missing in action, etc.) in favor of random streams that are honestly really really boring. Oh, what's that? A tiny bit of news about Nintendo was just released? ONE HOUR DISCUSSION, PRONTO! Also, I dislike how contradictory Andre is sometimes. He said he hated Sticker Star with a passion and then somehow loved Color Splash? Even though that game honestly shared many of the same flaws. Makes some of the reviews feel forced as if Nintendo would ditch them if they didn't give the game a good score. Also, has Derrick reviewed any game that he didn't like? I have yet to see it. Also not surprising there's been no Odyssey analysis since E3 yet, in fact I highly doubt there will be one at all, given how lazy Andre seems these days. 75% of the videos on the channel nowadays are Ash or Derrick playing some random game for a stream. Anyone else feel this way? reportquote

BlueDsc 5 days ago#2 SupooperMario4 posted... He said he hated Sticker Star with a passion and then somehow loved Color Splash Even if they're similar, they're still two different games. I think Antdude summed it up well. Sticker Star was a poor implementation of a poor idea. Color Splash was a better implementation of that same idea. I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to not like the first game but like the second. reportquote

Anyone else feel this way? How is liking CS and disliking SS contradictory? Many people felt that way and Andre said himself that he was surprised he felt that way. In any case, I don't know if it's fair to day that Andre is just lazy, since the Zelda E3 2016 analysis took forever because he was also looking at gameplay footage.  Derrick liking every game he's reviewed could actually be a really of him actually liking the games he's reviewed. Novel concept, right? You can't really assume bias since any review by any person will be different because different elements of a game bother people to a varying degree.  I do think that cool bits and MIA should come back thoug .

Whenever they don't like 1 thing that the common gamers won't even notice they complain to it like it's a bad thing. (The pixels from NSMBU style on the 3ds...I surely didn't saw it.) Also that phoenix wright spirit justice was the worse review I ever saw from any reviewer. (Yes I am still mad about that.) Not to mention they just steal the trailers from the Nintendo YT channels and brand their logo on it like they own it.(If they get money out of this then that would be a huge scam but I doubt it....) I could write an entire essay but TL:DR I don't like or rather say I HATE GameComplain.

None of their presenters have any business on the microphone, they have terrible mic presence and don't have the right kind of voices to perform any kind of voice over. Their videos range from "Look at this trailer, we noticed these ten things that no one else noticed, but actually everyone else noticed and we just want clicks." to "Look at this trailer, we noticed these 300 things that no one else noticed, but actually no one else noticed because we're grasping at a massive pile of straws and none of what we're about to say will actually happen or was in any way intended by the developer. Do you see that silver rock there? We think it's a reference to X NES game. We're expecting it to be a big thing in the main game." Gamexplain is s***.

TheBitBlock got into it with Lamar Wilson around a year after Nintendo had already blacklisted him from getting review copies. He broke the embargo for Super Mario 3D World and leaked one of the final stages of the game around a week before reviews were out. That's probably what got him.

An unit who can't even attack before promotion.

I've been hating Gamexplain since like 1997.  *cough* In all seriousness Gamexplain has always been terrible. None of their presenters have any business on the microphone, they have terrible mic presence and don't have the right kind of voices to perform any kind of voice over. Their videos range from "Look at this trailer, we noticed these ten things that no one else noticed, but actually everyone else noticed and we just want clicks." to "Look at this trailer, we noticed these 300 things that no one else noticed, but actually no one else noticed because we're grasping at a massive pile of straws and none of what we're about to say will actually happen or was in any way intended by the developer. Do you see that silver rock there? We think it's a reference to X NES game. We're expecting it to be a big thing in the main game." Gamexplain is s***. Gamexplain basically started the whole analysis video trend; it seems weird to call them out when they basically started it and are still the best at it. No one mapped out BotW like they did, for instance. And they never title their videos "10 Things No One Noticed." Hell, their analysis videos are probably the least click-baitey of those types of videos always titled simply "[Game Name] Trailer Analysis" The hate-boner here for gamexplain is frankly absurd No they didn't. Sites like IGN, Gamespot and Gametrailers were doing trailer analysis vids before Gamexplain even existed. Furthermore even if they did start the trend, which they didn't, there's such a thing as analyzing a trailer, over analyzing a trailer and Gamexplaining a trailer. Gamexplain can make a 20 minute video out of a 30 second clip. They're a terrible channel. Welcome to gamefaqs, where poverty is an illegal activity. reportquote

   TheMadness 5 days ago#63 SupooperMario4 posted... I know this might sound incredibly petty but I just don't really like GameXplain's coverage anymore to be honest, they have become very run-of-the-mill and predictable, and pretty much threw out all of their original ideas (cool bits, missing in action, etc.) in favor of random streams that are honestly really really boring. Oh, what's that? A tiny bit of news about Nintendo was just released? ONE HOUR DISCUSSION, PRONTO! Also, I dislike how contradictory Andre is sometimes. He said he hated Sticker Star with a passion and then somehow loved Color Splash? Even though that game honestly shared many of the same flaws. Makes some of the reviews feel forced as if Nintendo would ditch them if they didn't give the game a good score. Also, has Derrick reviewed any game that he didn't like? I have yet to see it. Also not surprising there's been no Odyssey analysis since E3 yet, in fact I highly doubt there will be one at all, given how lazy Andre seems these days. 75% of the videos on the channel nowadays are Ash or Derrick playing some random game for a stream. Anyone else feel this way? Honestly, yes  They have been kinda annoying lately and they come off as VERY shilly now reportquote

Color Splash was a better implementation of that same idea. I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to not like the first game but like the second. Exactly, I'm the same way. Sticker Star was just wrong in every regard. Color Splash had better level designs, better humor and charm, and battles had some kind of purpose. Also bosses were more streamlined so that you'd basically be guaranteed to have the cards necessary to beat them. Still not great because it's Sticker Star again, but at least it's better and a little more enjoyable. The humor and charm especially, as it really reminded me of the better Paper Marios.

I believe that they've had some of the most in depth discussion on Ever Oasis, which had my interest piqued, though I ultimately didn't get it. But yeah, the reposting of trailers is pretty heinous. I almost avoid the channel just to get Youtube to stop recommending their versions of videos over the primary sources. Playing video games for story is like eating at Golden Corral for the food quality. - Endgame reportquote

I was legit interested to hear what they had to say, but couldn't make it past the one minute mark. They have some of the worst guests ever come on to do reviews, and the guy they had do that one had one of the most boring voices I've ever heard.

He said he hated Sticker Star with a passion and then somehow loved Color Splash Even if they're similar, they're still two different games. I think Antdude summed it up well. Sticker Star was a poor implementation of a poor idea. Color Splash was a better implementation of that same idea. I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to not like the first game but like the second. I agree. I liked Color Splash way more than Sticker Star. reportquote

Due to a painfully imbalanced single-player experience co-op with friends is really the only viable way to play it, and even then it’s not really recommended." "A co-op Metroid seemed like a bad idea from the start, but while Federation Force has its moments they’re overshadowed by sloppy implementation and bland design."

      DarthDestro 37 minutes ago#126 SupooperMario4 posted... I know this might sound incredibly petty but I just don't really like GameXplain's coverage anymore to be honest, they have become very run-of-the-mill and predictable, and pretty much threw out all of their original ideas (cool bits, missing in action, etc.) in favor of random streams that are honestly really really boring. Oh, what's that? A tiny bit of news about Nintendo was just released? ONE HOUR DISCUSSION, PRONTO! Also, I dislike how contradictory Andre is sometimes. He said he hated Sticker Star with a passion and then somehow loved Color Splash? Even though that game honestly shared many of the same flaws. Makes some of the reviews feel forced as if Nintendo would ditch them if they didn't give the game a good score. Also, has Derrick reviewed any game that he didn't like? I have yet to see it. Also not surprising there's been no Odyssey analysis since E3 yet, in fact I highly doubt there will be one at all, given how lazy Andre seems these days. 75% of the videos on the channel nowadays are Ash or Derrick playing some random game for a stream. Anyone else feel this way? Me i only watch there videos of pre release games SW friend code 5752-4317-1512 reportquote

      kaliskonig 34 minutes ago#127 I realized they were s*** around the time Hyrule Warriors was getting covered. Had no idea how ignorant those guys were until then. Now I can't stop noticing the ignorance and laziness. Even worse is the fact that they are so thirsty for views they release LQ nintendo trailers instead of waiting 5 minutes for nintendo to upload HQ ones they can just steal. Their discussions are unbearable and their analysis vids are really not that interesting anymore. They really only point out s*** they find interesting because of how casual they are over things that we actually might have missed ourselves. One thing that also ticked me off with them is when Little Battlers was finally getting localized, they acted all nonchalant and only referred to as "whatever that anime game was". It really rubbed me the wrong way that Grown ass Nintendo fanboys are dismissive of an anime inspired game but would have ate up a Custom Robo game. They would never refer to any of Nintendo's IP's in such a manner and a large portion are anime-like. Today is the day: Bomberman, Paper Mario, K.Rool, Wonder Red, and Goku for Smash.
