>arcade tuber career failed
>shit, just switch to dark souls content
why did arcade philosophy in vidya die out
>>715979146How did you get that impression?
Dodonpachi is the best game series of all time so I like Mork he is a cool guy
>>715980875He is a straight man with children, a good father and husband, so he is the enemy to troons like that poster.
>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE CREATING CONTENT FOR A DEAD GENRE FOREVER AIEEEE
>>715981112I like him too he's alright
it's just fun to make threads about him because he's notorious on /v/ for shitting on stellar blade
Because the average gamer is casual. It worked better when developers dictated what kind of games came out so even if you were casual you still had to play arcade like games.
He has always been interested in game mechanics in general not just arcade games, this is not a pivot or a change.
>discovered him through Crowbcat.
>I absolutely love his take on RE4; he's right in every single way
>tries way too hard to please the reddit and 4chan audience with his basic bitch takes on Nintendo
>shills for "You'll own nothing and be happy"
>completely shits the bed with physical media and Nintendo
I find it funny how he basically learned dark souls and destroyed it in under 5 hours after a couple ruins
>>715981660It makes sense he doesnt like nintendo since they are quite different style of games to arcades and high difficulty games, as for own nothing his argument was that all games are digital, and he has a point. It is all digital at the end of the day.
I dont think he ever argued for companies to be able to take games away or for not owning them
>>715979073 (OP)I like most of Morks takes but his shilling of Devils turd was the most blatant display of itagaki dick sucking; worse than Geoff and his lover Kojimbo.
That guy is a poser who's only good at shmups, no point in watching 99% of his videos
>>715981939>good at shmups
>>715979073 (OP)>he hates stellar bladeI lost all respect for him
>>715979073 (OP)Someone should tell this guy that career youtubers can't take weeks between uploads until they have a much higher subscriber count than what he's got.
>>715979073 (OP)I enjoy his videos on game design, the iwata and vampire survivor's vids were good.
>>715982126he doesnt want to sweat in the shmup shed
only ever watched his video on Wanted Dead. It genuninely seemed like he was coping hard about the game but it still was interesting enough that it made me want to try out the game for myself
>>715979073 (OP)>praises your garbage games because you can shit butt cancel your attacks
>>715981692Well to be fair he had played Demon Souls before
you can judge his vidya skills here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-YK60PRkiQ
>>715979073 (OP)He's pretty based desu
He saved me from buying a S2 since he is the only guy that researched if S1 shmup games got improved input lag, they dont.
>>715981817I just find it strange and contradictory that he's the only one who dares to openly criticize DEMAKE4 while showing his face, yet he continues to take shallow, fundamental approaches to Nintendo and physical media just to please the wrong people
It makes ZERO sense to me
>>715982668>just to please the wrong peopleI think he just legit doesnt care/has no interest in nintendo stuff or in seeing digital games as inferior as physical ones.
I guess its a character flaw.
>>715982558>using a shieldKWAB
>>715982814As Miyazaki intended. All the roll slop cancer is because Miyazaki likes shields and shield users
>>715979073 (OP)Because arcade games were the first grift. They're games designed to drain quarters. Fun gameplay is an afterthought.
LET'S MORKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>715983391Completely wrong, the arcade games that didnt have fun gameplay didnt get played.
>>715979073 (OP)I don’t mind him trying to go more mainstream but holy shit, this year he’s taking it way too far. The Doom TDA and Souls reviews were super cringe. It’s obvious he doesn’t actually care about those games or the theirs series, which kind of defeats the whole point of his channel to begin with.
>>715983516I wanted him to review the OG doom games
He didnt understand why dark ages sucked, although he didnt really like it much either
>>715983391Who would spend more quarters if the game isn't fun? With non-arcade games you just have to get the customer to buy it once, even if they end up hating it in the end
>>715983745>He didnt understand why dark ages suckedLet me guess you gonna cry about parry and arena design?
When is decobot releasing Bog I know you made this thread
>>715979073 (OP)arcade games suck.
>oh boy another high snore
>>715979073 (OP)>>715979146>>715980875>>715981202Always makes me laugh that anyone pointing out troon bullshit is now an 'alt right grifter', even when they have no plans to monetize or sell merch or whatever. Which makes sense, they don't know what a fascist is, so knowing what makes a grifter a grifter would be a foreign concept too.
>>715979073 (OP)Video games, faggot, VIDEO GAMES!
>>715983391Fun gameplay emerged naturally
>>715982558https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo3FRNsQEcA
>>715979146i have no fucking idea how you got that from his videos
sounds like he dished out some harsh criticism about a game you like and it made you mad
>>715984250he talks about video games
>>715981870most people didnt play devils third

>>715983745>He didnt understand why dark ages suckedI think it was a pretty good review. He didn’t want to talk about the specifics because he was afraid all his critiques would get patched.

>>715982814Game? This looks eerily similar to God Hand
>>715985428anon are you serious thats Resident evil 4
>>715979146He is secretly based and redpilled but does a really good job hiding it.
>>715979073 (OP)This guy is a massive contrarian faggot and a great example of the dunning Krueger effect. He definitely posts here, and I’ve definitely got in arguments with him. I can tell by the smug contrarian opinions he spouts.
>>715979073 (OP)Who is this Mork?
>>715982668What Nintendo games are you referring to? He barely plays bingshit
>>715979073 (OP)>failedDoesn't he get like 2k a month for spewing his retarded opinions?
>>715985737Brother of Gork
>>715985882That’s pretty good, but a lot of YouTubers get way more than that to be a retard
>>715979073 (OP)shill this guy to me
Entertaining guy and has far more interesting insights than most of the retards posting on this website. Not as much of a faggot either.
>>715985705nah he’s more like 90s liberal
>>715986005If we compare audience size to money earned through Patreon, then Mark makes a fortune. He makes 2k with less than 50k subs.
>>715981568While I find that funny, it was annoying when people proclaim stuff and their their opinions get aped by hipsters and pretentious secondaries.
Marks ideas are often well thought out and reasoned, so he's an easy listen, but the few times he misses details or aspects that could change the nature of a section of a game and his opinion still gets repeated, it's kinda annoying.That's the nature of people and the Internet I suppose.
>>715982668RE4 was once a Nintendo exclusive :^)
>>715986090most of the stuff he says is spot on so people can do nothing but attack his character. call him a bad player etc.
>>715982558Did he ever claim to be skilled? He just posted his clears iirc
>>715979073 (OP)Arcade games were always, always coin munchers, made with the sole purpose of making you spend more. The only point for those shmups is to play those adjusted M2 versions where everything is balanced around the fact you're NOT paying real money and should be able to finish it without 100h+ of intense memorization.
I get it why he loves them but most people on earth don't have as much spare time to train 1cc shmups.
>>715985586Thanks
I seriously didn't know lol. The last re game I've played is 2.
His vulgarity of approaching games simply out of pure gameplay mechanics perspective, ignoring story, art design and music (mostly) is endearing. He's quite autistic about that.
>>715986156Yeah I’m gonna agree that’s an impressive ratio. So he has diehard fans.
>>715986589Zoomer baitpost
>>715986434>most of the stuff he says is spot on s...when it comes to shmups. With everything else he just picks the most contrarian opinion possible, which sometimes results in good takes. He'll praise absolute turds like Gungrave Gore just because critics shit on it; that game doesn't even have a functional combo system in the last couple levels yet he praised it as some modern arcade classic, knowing no one would actually play that turd far enough to correct him. He called Sifu rock paper scissors because his tiny monkey brain that cannot fit anything but shmups in it cannot comprehend using more but the most obvious tools given to him, maybe that's what playing games that only require two buttons for thousands of hours does to you. He complained about Bayonetta not getting naked in Bayo 3 during wicked whims, despite the fact that she gets fully naked during demon summons. He sucks off NG2 on the regular without ever even having beaten the game on MN.
He's an absolute hack fraud and survives off of good will and people just taking his words for granted.
there are less than 100 people in the world who still play shmups, no wonder he had to change his content
>>715987086Sifu is prescriptive. You do the right answer at the right time, where it's avoids, parries or counters.
how does a chad like him even play shmups? hes too good looking to be an autistic retard who spends 1000h to beat 1 CAVE game... does he have legit autism?
>>715986090He’s the most original gaming YouTuber out there and the only non-slop gaming channel with really good writing and delivery. He’s actually super entertaining to watch.
>>715981202wait he has a wife and kids? pic of his wife pls
>>715979073 (OP)He steals all his ideas from boghog, who's the actual brains.
>>715987743it’s actually the other way around
>>715985730this nigga got laughed out of system11 forum, every move of his would get ton of scrutiny, his first attempt at fame, shmuparch (its nothing but a premade config of retroarch where he used runahead) and shilled it like he did something super special, he quietly abandoned it after realizing how embarrassing it was, he clearly started lurking here and started appealing to ebin 4chan hardcour gamers by giving his extremely basic bitch clearly pandering takes about virtua fighter, top jej,
he's luke smith of video games.
just like luke smith makes videos about vim and shit, but actually has 0 reason to be fiddling with those tools since he's not a developer but keeps doing it because he like fiddling with epic 4chan /g/ toys,
similarly this guy chooses games like virtua fighter 5 not because he has played them all that much but knows how much dick sucking takes like that gets from redditors,
just try it, make a post like "virtua fighter 5 is best game ever made" and you would get infinite amount of posers standing in line to give you a blowie
>>715987635yeah, i watched his last stream and he beat Dark Souls 1 in one sitting in like 6h, honestly i was impressed
>>715987821post your 1CC list (and scores) and maybe ill take you post seriously
>>715987539>shmups are prescriptive, you do the right answer at the right time, whether it's avoids, bombs or switching shots
>>715982668His take on physical media makes no sense especially since his favorite genre are shmups.
Does he think stuff like DoJ white label which is basically a 1.00 release would be a thing and the game wouldn't be changed permanently to Black Label status if updates were a thing in 2002.
>>715983515>>715983826>>715984291They were incomplete and shallow with just a enough to make stupid 11 year olds want to drop more quarters. They were the 80's/90's equivalent of gacha games. People need to stop acting like arcades were some golden age. There's a reason they vanished as soon as home consoles started catching up.
>>715986589I once correctly called those old light gun shooter games rigged as fuck for this reason and /v/ shit itself defending them.
>>715988225Terminator 2 by mldway is bullshit
anything by SEGA & Namco is fair.
>>715988341>Terminator 2 by mldway is bullshitYes, its fun but god damn.
he was extremely critical of stellar blade, failing to give credit to the graphics, optimization, and animation quality
>>715987994>There's a reason they vanished as soon as home consoles started catching upYeah high rents and high electrical bills became a thing.
>>715988225Woah! how many reddit golds did you get???
>>715988571>reeeeeeeeeHello again.
>>715988421how does that help when the gameplay is shallow and dumbed down?
>>715987697He is smarter than that, there are no pics of his family online. We only know he is married with two sons.
>>715988714Some things are more important than gameplay.
>>715988774im just wondering if his wife is asian
>>715988774Would be very surprised if an absolute loser like Mark had a family. The man plays shmups for a living.
>>715988682>>reeeeeeeeelol, that's what pepe the frog says when he gets triggered xDDD
>>715987994You keep saying wrong things.
>>715988840To be honest most people think like this.
>>715979073 (OP)Boghog moghogs him when it comes to game design.
>>715989090I like his weird voice
>>715979146Why do Leftists call anyone even remotely popular that says anything or believes anything vaguely to the Right of the political-spectrum a "grifter"? Like 48% of people identify with the Right these days if statistics are to be believed. Considering that, how would it somehow not ever be possible that there could be someone big that spouts Right-Wing beliefs and genuinely have said beliefs?
>>715989183white = right wing
the internet is full of butthurt brownoids who hate whites
>>715989090I will reserve my opinion on boghog after playing Gunvein
>>715989006Thats why things be the way it do unfortunately.
>>715989267Browns don't tend to call things fascist though thats a white thing and half the white population is like that.
i know this thread is a huge cancer shitpost and dead but..
what the best way to emulate shmups? retroarch or mame?
He’s normal and only talks about games which makes the average vtard brain explode
>>715988714Yet he praised wanted dead which has infinitely shittier gameplay
>>715979073 (OP)This guy's Itagaki dickriding is ridiculous
>>715981568>shitting on Stellar BladeBased?
>>715989719Retroarch is a meme. Always use th standalone emulator
>>715981568I think his review was pretty stellar
>>715989972the problem is that MAME is even a bigger cancer than Retroarch
>>715979073 (OP)He's correct about Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 being actually good games. It was before rollslop got out of control
>spends first 15 minutes of MGR and steller blade reviews shitting on parryslop>genuine and passionate autistic rage at RE4 remakebased
>>715989719I don't think retroarch supports runahead for the mame cores.
>>715989943>This guy's Itagaki dickriding is ridiculousFiltered.
>>715979073 (OP)He's still extremely based for talking about and trying to get more people into the genres he likes. His videos got me into some Metal Slug, a few shmups like Mushihime Sama and made me dust my Dreamcast to mod it and play a few arcade ports even though It's not my thing.
>>715989719retroarch and it’s not even a competition anymore
>>715981660>completely shits the bed with physical media and NintendoQuite literally nobody with a three digit IQ gives the slightest shit about physical media. It is exclusively the domain of retards and nobody else.
>>715989719I use fbneo over mame, mostly because it runs better on low-end hardware.
>>715990502>Quite literally nobody with a three digit IQ gives the slightest shit about physical mediaAbsolute brainlet nigger tier take.
>>715990618One day you'll notice the trend, anon. There is a reason it is literally only dumbshits here who go on about it. Even then it's mostly a recent thing, and nobody cared during the actual shift to digital (coincidentally the site's average IQ was also far higher then too).
>>715979073 (OP)>thinks star fox zero is amazing>thinks devil's third is amazingmork might be the wiiu's strongest soldier

is throwing an game's .exe on a usb physical media? If not then how is that any different from a game cart? And if so how is having a hard drive of game .exes not also physical media?
>>715989719Use the newest standalone mame with low-latency. If your pc is shit, then use fbneo instead
>>715981660He's entirely right that if you actually care about video game preservation then digital and piracy is the way to go.
>>715990764>the site's average IQ was also far higher then tooTotal coincidence that people defend it now more than ever.
>>715988895he mentioned having kids in a video like 4 or 5 years ago
>>715991056Nobody was there to complain about it. We cared about shit that actually mattered, like DRM, because we weren't retarded and brown and actually knew what we were talking about.
I love shmups but I dont care for "character action" games
>>715989972Retroarch is always preferable for anything pre 6th gen. Hell, some cores are more developed than their standalone counterparts.
>>715991036>digital and piracy is the way to go.Simpleton
>Hey want to play the first original 1.00 version of some game say pre nerf patch Sorry kiddo can't do that you can only play the 1.56 patch.
>>715991672There is quite literally nothing they can do to force an update of your digital game that they cannot also force on your physical game.
>b-b-b-b-but they tended not to, for a while, on console garbageDoes not matter, you fucking retard.
>>715991672go on the forum and you'll have every version of the game available for you to torrent
also physical games can come patched even going as far back as the nes
>>715986159Nothing would change with any added context to Stellar Blade because it just is a bad game.
>>715991845>There is quite literally nothing they can do to force an update of your digital game that they cannot also force on your physical game.Factually wrong nigger brain plenty of games can still run without any patches whatsoever. https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=363549
>>715992573>completely and utterly missing and ignoring the pointSame can be said about any DRM free game. The DRM free game coming on a disc does not change anything, unless you are literally incapable of understanding an abstract concept.
>>715989090That guy is solid
>>715988714>>715989941yeah, wanted dead gameplay was super dogshit yet he shilled it regardless, never played Stellar Blade, but I doubt its that much worse
>>715992715You are missing the concept of things being lost to time and a lot of it saved thanks to physical possessions and eventually a good samaritan getting their hands on it and releasing it to the public.
Take DoDonPachi Campaign Version where is it the release CAVE???? Yeah never ever since they lost the source code, we know there are 3 boards in existence and the only way we are ever going to play this edition is if one these guys stops being a faggot and dumps the rom
>>715993365>Yeah never ever since they lost the source code, we know there are 3 boards in existence and the only way we are ever going to play this edition is if one these guys stops being a faggot and dumps the romI hope you recognize you are just explaining why physical releases are bad for game preservation.
>>715993502The only reason the game survived is the physical release tardo. Why can't you wrap this around your head, its basically a prototype made for a special event that was never meant to hit the public and would have been smashed to bits if it was mad by AMD,. Intel or whatever
>>715989090>pronouns in bio>bluesky account>made a game alongside a troon artistHow much you wanna bet he's a mentally ill raving leftoid
>>715994143He loves anime boobs I guess he is just non confrontational
>>715986090He's a midwit who steals his opinions from /v/ and any original thoughts he says are extremely poorly conveyed. Low charisma, bad scripting.
>>715994416/v/ plays shmups?
>>715994416Mork said he's never ever been on 4chan.
>>715986589>always coin munchers, made with the sole purpose of making you spend more.Arcade design extends into the home market. Castlevania 1 isn't a game made for arcades but nobody would deny that it has arcade design. The game isn't hard because it's trying to cheap you out of quarters but that the game gives you an actual challenge to master and overcome. Compared to a lot of modern game design which takes you hours and several dozen hours to complete without an ounce of difficulty, there is nothing to master.
>>715994586same, I never went there too
>>715994416How could he steal opinions from /v/ if 99% of /v/ hates and completely disagrees with him? faggot
>>715994745/v/ is the contrarian board and the majority of his opinions are 1:1 stuff you would find in threads about these games.
>>715994920No they're not
How many people on /v/ would you say actually like arcade games and defend arcade design? Literally 0.01%
and 75% of those are fags just regurgitating his opinion (see: gameplay density image)
He's the trailblazer here.
>>715994920His "opinions" are incoherent babbling that not even he understands, let alone something that could conceivably be parroted by a different person.
>>715979073 (OP)What makes you say that op? He just made one video criticizing people calling everything a souls like. Why are you baiting when anyone can visit his channel and see the videos?
>>715995104>No they're notHoly fucking newfag
>>715994232Yeah the same way Egoraptor "loves cute girls" and is perpetually nanometers away from trooning out
>>715995904he advocates for big anime tits in games and gunveins was really good so anything else I dont really care about
mork just repeats ideas he stole from shmupg
in system 11 he was always mocked by his dumb ideas
mork is not a good shmup player

its as worthless as ghost blade

>>715990935>If not then how is that any different from a game cart?I can sell my physical game carts and discs.
you can't, unless you find some retarded sucker.
also USB sticks go bad pretty fast.

>>715986589>Arcade games were always, always coin munchersyou can't get people playing if the games were just quarter munchers.
>>715999312What a surprise that all old devs that like arcade games still make amazing games
>>715989090playing the dogshit that is gunvein made me lose all respect for him and anyone that interacts with him
>>715999430how is it dogshit
>>715999517its been a year since i played the demo and all i remember was the music was bad and the game just felt really boring to play. total lack of juice. i had more fun doing trials in sophstar
>>715986589Only bad arcade games were quarter munchers, good arcade games were meant to be able to be 1CC'd and were extremely challenging but fair once you figured out the games, if you disagree you are just bad at video games and don't want to learn to master something that at first seemed impossible.
>>715994717I mean yeah, console games also had to be difficult or everyone would beat them far too quickly.
>>715999786shut the fuck up
raiden 1 and 2 were the most succesful shmups
these games eclipsed toaplan and the raiden games were as unfair as gradius 3
nobody in 4chan can clear raiden 2
>>716000786Raiden 1 and 2 being dogshit doesn't change the fact that other games were better.
>>716000964they eclipsed toaplan and toaplan answer was fucking tatsujin oh

>>715989330don't bother gunvein is straight dogshit
>>715991672which of these will survive in ~100 ish years, a physical disk/cartridge or a file seeding through hundreds of machines?
Digital is the only realistic preservation method and piracy helps to makes it much more efficient.
>>715994143this, bogfag is troons adjacent who keeps ripping off mork ideas
>>715998563so you can sell what amounts to virtually the same as an USB with games to other retards who attach "value" to original pieces of plastic, got it

>>715987086>survives off of good will and people just taking his words for granted.He earned it. Can't deny that.
what is this game? It's not a shmup because it doesn't auto scroll, it's not a twin stick shooter and run n gun is associated with side scrollers
top down shooter?

>>715987086>He sucks off NG2 on the regular without ever even having beaten the game on MN.So you're not allowed to like a game if you didn't beat it on the highest possible difficulty? What kind of retarded standard is this?

>>716008112after saying people are retarded for freaking out about fan service and judging it entirely on its gameplay
>>716008228Correct.
The grift was that Stellar Blade was actually some kind of deep slash at the Left because it had a stripper as the protagonist. This element made the game somehow an important milestone in culture and must be supported and hailed as great because of that.
But the game didn't appeal to Mork, and even though he likes T&A, he didn't set aside his game design principles to praise it for the sake of the culture war. A game actually has to appeal to his sensibilities to gain his attention, which Stellar Blade did not.
That's integrity right there. It's so rare nowadays that it soothed my soul.

Remember we lived in a time where Dark Souls was considered "LE HARDEST GAME EVER MADE! PREPARE TO LE DIE!! XD". You go back now and realize what a sluggish piece of shit it is combat wise and realize it was actually never hard. Now imagine people who know shit about video games saying this for over a decade. Dark Souls was literally the right game at the right time. I'm not taking anything away from it as a game, it's good - great even. The "influence" it brought is nothing more than a bunch of retards who don't know anything about video games finding their first hard video game.

>>716016325You don't seem to be very well informed about the impact of Dark Souls. Even as far back as 2013 Nintendo was borrowing ideas from it like the messaging system. Even before Dark Souls CDPR were desperate to claim inspiration from Demon's Souls. Derangement over the success of Fromsoft should be studied.

>>716016979does anyone not do this?
>>716016219It's a fact, yes, mork is pandering, he talks now about crap he doesn't even care or has any clue about. He knows about current nintendo as much as myself and my last nintendo console was the SNES. Mork isn't an fps player but now talks about the intricacies of the latest doom. Does souls videos like it's 2014. Can't wait for him to talk why Morrowind good, Skyrim bad.
He was always a joke on shmup general, always full of shit but at least he does play shmups. His entire shtick was being this l33t retro arcade bullet hell gamer dude, talking from experience, passion and knowledge, he went from a pseud to a straight out fake, going for that easy youtube money. People that give him money are the biggest retards.
Mork, you just need to say, I love Lives. The new DK game is right there to rag on.
>>716017630>he was always a joke in /shmupg/Lmao you clearly never posted there. He posted i that thread frequently and would silence faggots by posting his clears daily
The funny thing is all you retards talk so much shit but honestly post your DDP 2-all and then ypu have permission to tell Mork he doesn't know about arcade games.
I only learned about this guy recently.
He seems to have pretty good takes on shmups and action games.
Liked his Devil's Third review. That's an underappreciated game for sure.
Liked his Switch 2 video too, even if the ideal of bespoke consoles is too unrealistic now. And some of you faggots simp for Nintendo's anti-consumer practices way too much, even in this thread. Those should be called out. I have no issue with him doing that.
Apparently he recently moved to doing Youtube full time. I guess I understand why he focuses on more popular stuff like Souls games. But yeah, I listened to his Dark Souls video in the background while working and I don't remember him saying anything too fresh.
His Demon's Souls videos were good though. Believe or not, despite everything, I still believe original Demon's Souls is underappreciated and "under-understood". More people talk about them, the better.
I also get why some people here seethe about him suddenly. He basically tries to make money from what some people here do for free. Talking about games from a more hardcore perspective. You could probably string some of the more insightful posts from the recentl J-Actions generals and have a video like his. And those posters (you?) do it for free.
Personally I prefer the surety of normal work. Especially since I moved to Japan, work from home and don't do overtime.

Typical shit-flinging at those better than them while having next to no accomplishments of their own in the hobby to which they devoted their NEET lives to.
>>716018470His videos are poorly researched and terrible, Nerrel's switch 2 review is way better while also being even more critical. Mork's problem is that he tries to act like he isn't a fanboy but then proceeds to endlessly jerk off Iwata-era Nintendo, which is ironic since Iwata era had by far the most casual nintendo games.
He also thinks Star Fox Zero is a good game literally only because platinum made it. He doesn't actually have real opinions, he makes up what his opinion will be based on if the game is made by someone or a developer he thinks he's supposed to like.

I like Mork's vids but he seriously needs to get better at expressing his points. You could cut the length of all his videos in half if you got rid of his nonsense rambling where he just restates the same point twice for no reason.
The shmup junkie saturn video was so funny, you had the boghog review section where he elegantly describes why Rayforce is such a cool game without wasting any time and then Mork wastes 10 minutes saying a bunch of random shit about port quality that no one cares about instead of actually talking about the games in question.

>>716017998half a dozen cave shmups, either way, point is, shmups are his thing and everything he is doing now is a grift. Him talking about anything else comes from a point of ignorance. It's easy to sift through the internet for opinions, make bullet points and add a "hot-take". You don't need to know the subject to make content for it. This is even more egregious when somebody as full of himself as mork does this.

his video on iwata's death being the end for nintendo was good i thought. pretty agreeable thesis.
Mark has a lot of good ideas and things to say but he needs to make some serious changes. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about half the time when the topic isn’t arcade games, and it would be easily solvable if he just put more time and research into his videos. Reviewing Silent Hill 2 without mentioning the story (or that he skips the cutscenes on his first playthrough for every game), apparently not knowing the Dark Souls DLC exists, getting called out by that Rabi Ribi speedrunner for talking about grinding that doesn’t exist - tons of stuff like that. He would do so much better if he didn’t insist on rushing out these uploads nearly every week, started scripting at least a little more, and cut it out with his obsession over genre definitions and arcade terminology and acting like people love IGN
>>716019954True, but
>acting like people love IGNIt doesn't matter if they personally "love IGN" the point is that they agree with what they say, even if they don't directly like them.
>>716019954>Mark has a lot of good ideasNo he doesn't. Any good ideas he has are regurgitated, anything original is bad.
>>716019696You can have bias while being self-aware about it and doing actually good research.
>>716019838It's one of his worst videos and reveals he's still just a tendie deep down. Terribly researched, full of cherrypicking and ignores how terrible the Wii U era was for actual GAMES.
Once again, Nerrel's video on the Wii U is pretty much the same but is actually researched and is properly critical of the Iwata era. I don't even fucking like Nerrel since his actual opinions are pretty gay but the guy at least does actual fucking research instead of just jerking of Iwata because he has nostalgia for him, and he doesn't ignore how a bunch of Nintendo's anti-consumer and anti-fan practices were things that still happened under Iwata.
>>716019954He keeps saying Itagaki was involved in Wanted Dead and implying that street fighter 3 was intentionally experimental rather than a last minute rebrand of a completely different game
His biggest flaw is definitely his lack of research but from what I can tell he basically looks at nothing outside of the game itself which is interesting in its own way, like outsider art almost
>>716020125>You can have bias while being self-aware about itThat's fair. Transparency matters.
>and doing actually good research.That might be his only downfall.
>>716020125>he's still just a tendie deep down.He barely even mentions Nintendo games outside of like super metroid and star fox, unless you're trying to spin him not actively criticizing them as being a fanboy in which case I guess he's a diehard sega fan too

Imagine reviewing Dark Souls in 2025 and showing zero signs that you even know the DLC exists, let alone played it
>>716021470He played Silent Hill 2 for the first time skipping the cutscenes, didn’t even think to mention it in his review, and you think that’s fine? He only mentioned it in passing during a podcast with Under the Mayo, saying SH2 was the exception because one of the cutscenes caught his attention before he could skip it, and acted like it was no big deal. How is that not important enough to mention during his long ass reviews where he spends half the time talking about industry trends instead of the actual game
>>716021635The focus of the review was the gameplay, not the story.
>>716021726Gameplay and story are intertwined. He can continue his anti-parry sentiment by saying that parries make some characters look way more competent than they're supposed to be in the story and that'll be free YouTube bucks.
Any reviewers that don't record their own footage or finish the game on the hardest difficulty simply aren't worth watching.
>>716021398I don't know why he used the word grinding when he's just talking about stat progression systems as a whole and having to go around finding upgrades instead of just going from boss to boss. And you can just DPS the town member bosses. It isn't until Noah that the game actually forces you to play properly, even on BEX.
>>716021398Morksisters...
>>715981870>Shilling a game that has almost become lost mediaOkay, tardo
>>715979073 (OP)I liked the early stuff I saw from him about 2D games like Contra and GnG, and I found his arcade design video to be quite interesting, if a bit pretentious. However, the more I watch videos about stuff I'm familiar with, like DMC and Vanquish, the more I think he tries too hard to pull a "how do you do my fellow action gamers" instead of actually putting in the work to understand the games he is "analyzing". I'm not going to mention the DMC3 video because that's the low hanging fruit, but in his Vanquish video he mentions things that are addressed while playing on Hard and GodHard. It's ironic that he calls people out for not giving Wanted: Dead a proper chance yet he fails into the same patterns. Any action game worth its salt needs to be played and replayed for you to create a proper assessment; a one-and-done playthrough is not enough and you shouldn't be taken seriously if you do.
Also he needs to give more context; his Devil's Third video is like 40 minutes and not once he mentions the clusterfuck development or the team behind it (pretty much the same that made WD later) and is just random "muh Itagaki" like, nigga, we know you know about the guy, you don't need to mention him every 5 minutes like you are making some point.

>I do single segment runsIsn't that pretty obvious? He does runs of individual segments of demon souls, treating them as like individual 30 minute arcade games.
>>716024979Completely talking out of your ass. Battle Garegga's rank system was to cater to the core audience of shmups (which, at that point in time, were incredibly proficient at the games) while still having some accessibility to somebody sitting down at the machine who isn't going to get passed stage 2 without practicing. Its also worth noting that criticising arcade games for trying to make profit is very unfair - it is their business model: get people engaged with the game asap, but also get them off the game asap. Games that were blatantly unfair were unsuccessful in the arcade - players could tell a game that was just trying to take your money and would not play it. STGs (especially danmakus and proto-danmakus like Garegga, GrindStormer etc) are the quintessential "tough but fair" games before that was a popular turn-of-phrase by games journos.

>>716028615I had heaps of fun with it for a few dozen hours. Never played the original though, so unsure how it compares to that.

>>716027706Only ds1 and sekiro are worth playing in the image
>>716032617Oh boy, hes afraid
>>716015752His opinions literally downloaded from his retarded simps on discuck
>>716018658>managed to clear with the lowest scores everI don't know if he's proud of it
>>716028615Yeah. On default settings it shouldn't be too bad to beat. If you up the difficulty then there will be more guys and they won't delay their firing rate.
>>716021398Does he ever replied to the comments and discussed it?
You're telling me the guy who thinks you can infinitely dodge in Bayonetta doesn't know what he's talking about? Shocking
Shmupfags are braindead
>>716034607Don't think so.
>>716022938He's a full time tuber, he has to hastily shit these out instead of having some time (read: years) with all the games. He's run out of shmup and bmup content to talk about.
Make or break for me is when he makes a vid on DaS2. This is THE most deeply analyzed dark souls because there is SO much debate over it that every aspect has been under the microscope and whether you like it or hate it comes down to personal taste. If he doesn't give it the deep dive it deserves and just does the "not like muh demon's souls not like muh dark souls 1" then his opinion on these games is worthless.
He didn't even seem to touch the DaS1 DLC which leads me to believe he won't play DaS2's which is criminal since it's the best part of the game and perhaps peak Dark Souls depending on who you ask. He will also likely not touch the vanilla vs SotFS debate.
AND, most importantly, he has never said a word about multiplayer which is one of the features that made dark souls stand out. Invasions were such a cool aspect of these games that I find go underappreciated by 1-playthrough andys that don't really understand the games but love to watch youtube videos about them.

>>716034607Checked and no lol
>>716032718 Sekiro maybe, but DS1 aged like milk in some areas. Slug pacing, jankier hitboxes than DS3’s netcode, and half the game feels like a beta build. Not saying it's bad, but if that’s the peak for you, I’m guessing you bounced off the rest pretty fast. At least Bloodborne had speed and identity. Elden Ring’s world makes Lordran feel like a hallway too.
It's too obvious how there's a couple dedicated schizos who post the exact same things seething about him every thread
>>716011000Mork should have been a singer.
>>716035203Sekiro is the worst game From has made in many years. However, it has amazing presentation and that was enough to sell it to tens of millions of gamers and reshape the entire game industry to the point shooters and turn based RPGs incorporated parrying
