Fuck off.

i also want to add runescape videos to this, especially ironman videos

>>714109543 (OP)
i don't particularly like those kinds of videos, but it's just a dumb challenge cool your jets

yes, or else you wouldn't be making a 2 hour video about it

>>714109543 (OP)
how are you supposed to make a video about it if the answer is no

>>714110053
what game?

>>714110053
>>714110140
there are instances where they still make it anyway

like in the case of pirated Spyro 3, which is literally impossible hence why it is infamous

>So first off we can't really get past the tutorial boss with this restriction so we'll just kill him the normal way
>Next, we're going to use the duplication glitch to get to level 99

>>714109543 (OP)
I think it's fun, I just find it interesting to learn about game mechanics and glitches
maybe youre just not autistic enough

>>714109709
Then it becomes a do x the least amount of times challenge instead.

Why do these sorts of videos cause so much seethe on /v/? Is it because it's about people playing video games and not arguing about politics?

>>714110528
Posts ITT make it clear why people dislike them. Try reading. I know, I know, reading is old hat. Nobody is going to make a video about this thread so you'll have to read.

ymfah is the only guy who does this format right

>>714110362
>autists enjoy it
>neurotypical normalfags hate it
Ahh, so that's why /v/ hates these videos.

>>714110528
because most of the time the answer is an incredibly obvious yes or no

>>714110362
>maybe youre just not autistic enough
do you even know what board you're on?

>>714109643
Dude, OSRS videos are the ultimate sleep aide. Just a bunch of turbo-autists saying numbers in succession.

>TURNS OUT, YOU CAN'T. BUT I'VE SEEN THIS VIDEO THAT TALKS ABOUT WHY YOU CAN'T DO IT
>ACTUALLY YES. BUT I HAD TO USE CHEATS
What's the purpose then?

>>714110619
>the idea of challenge videos are bad because sometimes people don't do them very well
Maybe don't watch shit channels then?

They're all essentially condensed and disguised let's plays. No coincidence the majority of them go over the story and other things as if the viewer has never actually played the game before.

>>714110957
thats exactly why I said it, /v/ used to be more interesting, now its filled with stupid normalfag teenagers who think everything is for them

>CAN YOU BEAT OCARINA OF TIME AS ONLY ADULT LINK
>no because you start as a kid

Believe it or not there are actual good uploaders but they don't have much attention because they don't clickbait. You just gotta find them. No I will not share any.

>dedicates a hilarious amount of time, technical knowledge, esoteric knowledge, and super autism
Will something ever top the A button challenge?

>>714109543 (OP)
Tedious and boring challenges are shit.

Challenging yourself to perfect the game is the best. That's why I respect speed runners and people who do no-hit boss runs in souls games.

I am also an autist who likes trying to no-hit bosses in souls games (especially Sekiro) so I'm biased

>>714111802
glitchless speedruns are entertaining, it's why people like seeing Mario 64 ones since it's all a combination of movements
>>714111757
the cherry on top is that it all paled because nobody could agree on what "pressing" the button was and how you could half-press something

>CAN YOU BEAT [VIDEO GAME] USING ONLY [STUPID RESTRICTION]!?!?!?!
>literally anyone familiar with the game already knows the answer is yes

>>714112112
I'm particularly fond of Zelda OoT and MM randomizers, something about the pure autistic nature of game knowledge and routing knowledge tickles my brain

>>714111475
>now
Try 2016

>>714109543 (OP)
I've seen a lot of these videos just reach a point where it becomes impossible and they concede as such, but then continue using as little of what is necessary as possible while still attempting the challenge.

>>714112664
But that's bad. They should just stop the video there and then. Sure, they may complete the rest of the game without ever doing x again whilst doing all the kinds of glitches and/or skilled gameplay to avoid x which was what the video was really about, but it's still bad because reasons!

>>714109543 (OP)
>CAN YOU BEAT GAME WITHOUT ATTACKING

>so we're going to load a 100% completed file that played without the restriction

>and now load the original file and we're past the impossible spot
might was well skip straight to the final boss if you're going to start doing shit like this

>>714109643
This is all twitch niggers fault. Ironmen thinking they're smug when everyone was forced to play like one when osrs launched because everyone was poor as shit and there wasn't lots of gold in circulation yet. Then twitch fags with too much free time and the trust fundie cunts that they are, somehow managed to launch this misinformation campaign for the next 12 years and get people to completely disregard the giant 2 "M"'s in MMORPG because some cunt bought gold off sythe and skipped a grind and made them triggered. Fuck them

>>714113327
Most of his videos were great, but the multiple save file shit for the no movement challenge in Skyrim was a cop-out. Still, the rest of the video was pretty good.

>>714110696
>watch any ymfah Skyrim video
>99% of the challenge is in just trying to get serena to fuck off during the dawnguard story

You can beat anything if you penguin step and take an hour for every inch you move.

>>714111757
blind and deaf pokemon (a series of inputs that beats every possible rng seed) is a solid contender

This. Don't Recommend Channel.

>>714112112
>nobody could agree on what "pressing" the button was and how you could half-press something
the guy making the video is autistic and picked a very poor name for the relatively simple concept of holding the A button down. In a full 120 star run holding the button is free because you use the initial press somewhere else, but when looking at an individual level holding the button does require a button press.

Its usually
>CAN YOU BEAT [VIDEO GAME] ingoring [CENTRAL MECHANIC]!?!?!?!
and that's fine. I never watch them, though, because I refuse to watch 45+ minute videos summoning salt and zfg randomizers being the exceptions

Enough of your stupid questions. The real question is why don't you hate it?

But can you beat Fallout New Vegas while being chased by private Kowalski?

>>714114234
Because I enjoy video games and I like seeing interesting glitches being used to circumvent parts of the game. I don't care if it's a "trend" or not, I enjoy video game related videos because I enjoy video games.

Can you beat Fallout 4 as Abraham Lincoln?

>>714114269
Artificial outrage doesn't need a reason. Just get mad and wait for the next thing to get mad about.

Mitten Squad was the only good Fallout/TES challenge runner, may God rest his soul

my favourite was this one guy who was trying to get sub-four hours in RE7 without running, and he came up with a storyline involving ethan being catfished to frame the whole thing
he got through nearly the entire game without a huge amount of struggle only to reach the part where you have to inject evelyn, which took nearly 20 minutes of the video and hours upon hours of in-game attempts before he found a way to get through it via blowing himself up and using the fact that evelyn's wind attacks can push you horizontally

Can you beat the entire MGS series before The End fucking dies of old age?

>>714109643

The no-commentary long play where you don't even need commentary to tell when the player rage quits was much better

These videos are great because it lets me see the kind of self torture these retards impose upon themselves.

>>714109543 (OP)
>I SUFFERED, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO!
Thanks, autistic youtuber clickbait zombie influencer, for showing the world more useless content.

Another guy did pokemon crystal too. He's also been trying to do omega sapphire but it's incredibly scuffed and he hasn't updated since citra got shut down.

>>714115902
Is the quality the same as the two I am referencing?

>>714109543 (OP)
can you beat smt with no demons anon
yes

I like this discount AVGN-sounding guy's challenge runs because they're the specific kind where they're doable and not just tedious but actually abstract torture instead of just meandering

Fucked up my copy paste but he did a second video where it's FF2 without using magic and it's similarly traumatizing for him.

>>714110957
v doesnt play anything thats not 3 games

>>714110528
alot of times the people that make the video cheat

>>714117520
you can tell when some of them aren't cheating because you can feel the rage in the scripts

Yeah, and it's fucking kino

>>714109543 (OP)
the Bottom Gear videos for dark souls are the only time this has been good content, and it's because of the dedication to the top gear bit and not the challenges themself.
Challenge vids are indeed boring as fuck

it doesn't help that most of the ones with actual commentary are complete charisma vacuums

Backlogs sucks so fucking much.

>Challenge ends up being easier than he thought
