AWARDS TIME

>>718288747 (OP)
Fact: Game dungeon is better than AVGN and game center dx

>>718289904
Correct

>>718289904
Classic AVGN is better, but Game Dungeon has stayed good for longer.

my favorite award ever was "cia approved"

>>718290301
Old AVGN is funnier but Game Dungeon is more interesting because you usually learn about obscure games

>>718290349
Dog monarchy is my favorite.

>>718290417
Fair enough.

>>718290417
I still rewatch the old ones from time to time

>>718290657
The first 100 episodes are great (2004-2011)

>>718290657
the leatherface one is my favorite classic era episode, all the horror movie ones are great actually

Video game?

More on that later!

>>718291184
Yes, Ross's Game Dungeon, the series about video games

now things are beginning to make sense.

>>718291458
rewatched this one recently. A classic.

>>718291869
>rewatched this one recently
okay thanks for letting us know

>>718291869
You ever think about how weird it is that we re-watch old episodes of review shows? Like imagine what people would've thought in the 80s if you told them in the future you would be watching reruns of game reviews for fun. Then again Mystery Science Fiction Theater was a thing back then, so maybe they wouldn't find it so weird.

putting him on at night tricks my brain into thinking i have a friend

Music coma is a term I use a lot now, it even got me laid.

>>718292718
Which episode was that from?

>>718293025
Tyrian

>its another "doesnt respect your time" award
What's that game /v/?

>>718293183
Everdark Libra, I'm watching a few GDs to calm down

>>718292450
A review show is just a mini-documentary.

>>718293183
Anything Bethesda
>load screen load screen load screen

What's your most rewatched Game Dungeon, /v/? For me it's probably The Crew. I love the road trip vibe.

>>718293464
Black Mirror. Ross had a lot of fun with that one.

>>718293464
Dungeon Siege because it was a game I actually played and really liked. second is probably Spiderbot or Trackmania

>>718288747 (OP)
The worst part is SKG clearly cut into his Game Dungeon productions.

>>718293819
in sabotain he said the next episode would be another follow up. i wonder if that's still the plan.

>>718293819
Hell, I wish he would release THE MOVIE already so he could get back to the Game Dungeon without distractions.

>>718293464
Veil of Darkness. I wouldn't even call it my favorite of his videos but it used to show up regularly on my recommendations and I'd end up watching it every time.

>>718288747 (OP)
he sucks at video games and miss entire mechanics, he also games journalist tjer whenever he sees a female character not in a burqa

>>718290417
AVGN introduced me to many obscure games and retarded peripherals since I watched it as it was being originally released. I had never seen a Sega CD/32X before, for instance, despite having a Megadrive at home.

>>718293464
The Chosen - Well of Souls and Requital are both cringekino.

>>718289904
>>718290417
games that would be horrible on AVGN like sonic heroes or the divison are really interesting because instead of just going WOW THIS SHITTY GAME POOPS IN MY MOUTH he can make lots of interesting autistic observations and tangents, but when he's either filtered by a core mechanic or just kind of going wow this game is weird and bad its really boring because he lacks that avgn charisma

>Nyet III unmentioned
Absolute crime

>>718294162
He does preface his show by saying its the gaming equivalent of an insane homeless man ranting on the street, so its not like he claimed his opinions originated in the mind of greatness or were in any way objective truth.

>>718294162
His issue is he's dead set on playing the game in some arbitrary way only to complain when it doesn't support that. For example, Revenant expects you to use magic and he refused to.

>>718288747 (OP)
Video games, faggot, VIDEO GAMES!

>>718293871
He said due to new people subscribing, he would rather do a new episode so they aren't confused.

>>718294510
I find his autistic behavior kind of endearing. Its fun to watch someone play a game wrong sometimes.

>>718294568
Ross isn't in that image, as an aside is Jimquistion still alive?

>>718288747 (OP)
AAAGGHHHHHH

>>718294642
This, it is Ross Game Dungeon, you are watching for his experience no matter how shitty he makes it for himself.

>>718294708
The best moments are when he has a moment of salience and realizes that he's the one with the problem, not the game, but the he keeps doing his autistic self sabotage anyways.

>>718293464
Requital.

>absurd amounts of slavjank
>hilarious voice acting
>remain silent

>great reactions to the insane shit in the game

>>718294708
Ross's*

>>718294915
I loved how he completely missed the skip time mechanic in Sabotain until he was close to beating the game.

>>718294298

DOESN'T RESPECT YOUR TIME

It's a very relaxing series. I wish he did them more often.

>>718294162
>>718294429
>>718294510

>>718295550
Ross will cheat when encountering minor inconveniences but will also torture himself over nonsensical bullshit.
His motives can't be discerned.

>>718293464
Either Quarantine or Realms of the Haunting

>>718295670
Its autism, anon.

>>718295715
nay. 'tis the mold, anon.

>>718294468
i like how he apes the "waaah" sound from that game at every opportunity.

>>718295670
Arent autists supposed to be good at Dark Souls?

>>718295812
He's a boomer autist like James Rolfe. Totally different breed. Different motor skills

>>718295550
he's not game reviewer, he's a gaming archeologist. his goal is to bring us a game we haven't seen before. if he's playing a game you're familiar with, skip the episode.

>>718295710
Good taste, they're some of my favorite episodes too

>>718295710
>Quarantine
You're my friend

>>718295931
But then you miss his unique perspective.
I can't believe he said Big the Cat is retarded.

>>718294568
I honestly think it's time v has another split for v-celebs.
Streaming is the future

>>718296068
>I honestly think it's time v has another split for v-celebs.
Not gonna happen. Chink Moot said ages ago it could "lead to harassment".

>>718296093
But a V-tuber board is fine? The administration here is so fucking retarded

>>718297456
Did you miss the leaks back when 4chan was hacked?
The site's staff is either trannies or tranny-adjacent.

>>718297737
>The site's staff is either trannies or tranny-adjacent
How do you explain /pol/ still existing then?

Back in May before SKG started to take all of Ross's attention, he said it was possible that the movie could come out by 2027 if everything went smoothly. Is this actually reasonable? Because it takes him months just to make 1 video and a feature length animated movie would take infinitely more time to completely even if everything went right

>>718298291
I'm guessing you weren't here back when Moot tried to delete /pol/ then.
Let's just say you can delete the board, but you can't delete the users, and the biggest detractors are always former fans.
Also, there's a lot of Israeli users. /pol/ is a testing ground for COINTELPRO.

>>718298291
/pol/ is tranny/ tranny adjacent

>>718295550
He sounds like a faggot tbqh

>>718298291
>closing a containment board
That'll go well

>>718298629
Nah, it's fun to listen to his schizo ramblings
He's just autistic and very stubborn, so he won't do what the game tells him to do

Is Ross on the spectrum? He seems pretty normal but I notice that when he talks to other people he seems he likes he has some problems conversating with other people. It's subtle though

He's definitely at his most interesting when diving into a 'what where they thinking'-fest or some ancient obscure gem no one has ever heard of

But its still amusing seeing him take the occasional dip into AAA just for his impression of it. I want to see him do Arkham Origins for his Christmas episode some day.

Whenever you watch a game dungeon of a game you already played it's physically painful.

>>718289904
>and game center dx
eeeeeeeeh that's debatable
GC is very niche and special at least for a western audience and the fact that they do a lot of different things is really charming and interesting whereas ross mostly just plays games and goes on tangents
don't get me wrong i love game dungeon but i don't think it's really better (or worse) than GC
AVGN sucks tho, the early seasons are fine but the shit piss donkey poo got old quick

>>718299853
maybe nyet III is piss easy

>>718293464
Deus Ex obviously, Invisible War is second

>>718290328
WHERE IS OUR LADY

>>718293183
Nearly every Camelot-developed RPG, especially when you've just started the game.

>>718293464
Armed and Delirious. Always fun to see Ross react to all the insane bullshit in that game.

>>718296053
when did he say that

>>718293968
Once he finishes the movie, his mold form will break apart like Ethan in RE8.

He doesn't actually like playing games, as in interacting with game mechanics. He just likes to walk around in fantasy worlds

>>718301332
He plays video games just to look at or make maps.

Pleb filter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5qUvOosL-s&t=1282s
What the fuck, I didn't remember him saying that. It feels out of character from him. This is some Mandela effect shit, he didn't say that in the video 4 years ago

I wish he would quit Freeman's Mind for good and focus on THE MOVIE/Game Dungeon. Feels like he does it more out of obligation, and now that he's done Ravenholm he should be in the clear.

>>718301847
>specifies that he isn't being crude and actually thinks Big is a literal retard like in Of Mice and Men
Nah, that sounds Ross enough.

>>718302175
I don't know if he outright said it but he basically has. When was the last episode? HL2 just doesn't work with Freeman's Mind, specially when he has to mod the game to keep the real world logic approach. Although it was funny that he just shot that vort in the train cart.

Someone inform Ross of the untapped well of shareware Mac games from the 90s.

>>718293464
The Crew was the best one

>>718302964
you can. he's very responaive to emails.

>>718302964
Dunno if he'd play Mac games. He seems to have this autistic thing where he refuses to play anything that's not a DOS/Windows game

>>718295550
Based Ross. I, too, mash buttons like a irritated and confused Gorilla whenever a video game wants me to press them with any sense of timing or strategy

Brutal Legend episode when?

>>718293464
Bozo's night Out or Trackmania.

>>718303354
Literally me. The reflexes of a stationary stone and sense of rhythm of an impending heart attack.

>>718289904
>AVGN
I'd go a step further and say it's better than Old Jontron and all the other "classic youtube" videogame critics. It's the best in the field.

>GCDX
Nnnnaaaah.
Even if every episode of Game Dungeon was at its best, and they're not there's a lot of duds, GCCX is so much more than just the section where Arino plays and sucks at a retro game.
You get a whole section on mom and pop arcades/parlours or interviews with classic Koei strategy devs, there's just a whole lot more that elevates it.

There's potential for Game Dungeon to one day surpass GCCX, if Ross doubles down on making every episode as interesting and unhinged as he can.

>>718303262
NOT SO! in the journeyman project episode he plays a mac game.

>>718303778
Huh, I forgot about that

>>718303262
>He seems to have this autistic thing where he refuses to play anything that's not a DOS/Windows game
He emulates a bunch - Carnevil, Bozo and Captain Zzap, got a bunch of footage from different platforms for Baldies. Lot of the DOS games he plays aren't DOS at all etc.
He's just a perpetual cheapskate and isn't going to shell out for a console or peripherals unless he absolutely has to. And there's a billion games for PC, especially when you have his immunity to garbage, so that's not likely to happen. Didn't even buy his own wheel attachment for racing games, that was a gift.
I think VR was the only time he was ever ahead of the curve out of excitement and that turned out to be a big dud.

>>718295550
This post reeks of seethe. A game forcing you to play with magic is annoying, especially when you need the proper stats to even attempt to use it.

>>718304551
>>718295550
go to 9:16 for ross's description of the magic in this game. he was right toskip it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxESGanJxhM

>>718304551
I think Revenant is a special case because it's presented as a Diablo clone where all playstyles are at least viable, and melee only becomes obviously laughably bad midway through.
But that was also the case with a lot of old rpgs, part of the design was throwing away the first character or party because you figured out that the class/build was worthless and it wasn't even that painful because you only bought 1 game every 6 months anyway. Diablo is more of the outlier for letting you use anything and cruise through.

But also Revenant was a lot of east-euro dude's game they played when they were 12 so there's some seethe in there if you don't automatically love it.

I read this entire thread in his voice

>>718304551
>start game as a fighter mage class

i can see jason is using his vacation to get ready for a round two.
how fucking petty do you have to be...

>>718293464
It's a split between Deus Ex and Maabus.

>>718288747 (OP)
its screaming at the design of obscure games nobody cares about time

>>718295550
i hope he never decides to review sacred, this game is very dear to me.

>>718306658
you could almost say it's... sacred

>>718306658
You don't have to worry about that one, he'll drop it because of the excessive mob respawn.

its kinda strange that someone would play so many so bad games made before 2010
like, it cant be that fun to suffer the old timey gameplay and systems because the engines didnt have the templates ready to fix most things.
Or waste time on some indie game that seems to target the "people sitting on the toilet with their phone" market.

>>718306658
Unless you're 10 in 2005 with no alternatives there's 0 chance you're finishing Sacred, that game is a billion years long.

>>718294162
he acknowledges that all journalists are government or whoever assets but then reads them anyway and bases his opinions on whatever he was fed

>>718294162
>he also games journalist tjer whenever he sees a female character not in a burqa
I don't remember him even complaining that Evil Marie had her tits out, just that he didn't want to shoot her or cute girls in general.

>>718304903
>start game as fighter mage class
>fighting works 100% just fine 30% through the game
>difficulty spikes and now you magic is useless since its unleveled
Games fault for no incentives besides now needing mana potions and killing early game enemies slightly faster. They should have had a diffucult first level boss that required magic to kill at all. Remeber, this is the same game that forces a fist fight with your unleveled uhanded skill.

>>718306743
Are you saying games made before 2010 are bad?

>>718293464
Still life 1. And stlii waiting for Still life 2

>>718307136
theres like 5 good games released annually and rest are bad and not worth talking about

>>718306795
I did, with dark elf and his cloud spell that disables the enemy attacks.
In the end it becomes rather tedious and not worth actually finishing, the best parts are in the beginning/mid game, clearly more effort was put in to it.

I've had many alternatives but i preferred this, then titan quest came out and it was good but the aesthetics and the settings didnt grab me as much.

>>718307034
>Remeber, this is the same game that forces a fist fight with your unleveled uhanded skill.
Right next to the unarmed spell.

>>718288747 (OP)
SHAAH

>>718307202
some bad games are worth talking about but i havent seen those in GD for a while now.

>>718307232
That's strange because Titan Quest's aesthetics and setting hard carried me through it, I loved the Magic School Bus effect of "talk to random civilians and get a spiel on this one niche job that existed in this time period that the devs obviously loved reading about".
Sacred's worldbuilding wasn't nearly as involving, at least until they went full Kraut autism in 2. Shame it didn't continue, would've loved to see them play with their own setting more.

>>718307202
>theres like 5 good games released annually and rest are bad and not worth talking about
That's a recent thing zoom zoom
Pic related is all 1998
All good games

>>718307379
i didnt give a shit about worldbuilding or lore, i was a kid of 13. Sacred had european fantasy aesthetics that i could relate to, a lot of loot and spells and complete openworld, which i havent seen anywhere else at the time. Secret places and mechanics that i could only learn about from videogames journals was a nice addition too.
Too each his own. I acknowledge that overall titan quest is a better game but back then i wasnt objective.

>>718307573
Oh yeah? I'll be the judge of that.

Nevermind you got my ass those are all pretty good.

>Watching Game Dungeon for the gameplay
Wrong.
>Watching Game Dungeon for the tangents
Correct.

>>718307573
Is LSD sim even good or just a novel visual experience, every clip I’ve seen of it just looks like nonsense and walking
