Listening to Barry Kramer (of Game Grumps fame) try to summarise the plot of the Metal Gear franchise - 5 years after tackling the plot to the Kingdom Hearts franchise - has made me make some comparisons between the two…

(I’m sure I’ve missed a few, I’m happy for anyone with more expertise in either games to add to this.)

Guys, if you haven't watched Barry play Death Stranding 2, you totally should. Legit my favorite playthrough of the game I've watched.

This whole scene had me laughing so hard 🤣🤣

A little something something to commemorate the end of Barry’s Paychonauts streams!

unintelligent thought abt undertale vs deltarune based on watching ppl’s DR2 let’s plays and just going back to my favorite ones instead

it’s easy to enjoy UT. i mean the game doesn’t make it difficult for you to miss things. you are more or less directed to seeing things you pretty much need to see and by extension get to know all the characters and build some fondness for them.

in contrast, it’s very easy to miss stuff in DR. ppl who streamed it had chat telling them what to do so they would’t miss stuff more or less, but ppl who just recorded their let’s play did - it’s a whole host of possible factors, too. i’m talking abt ppl who missed streets entirely, didn’t feel like just walking around town reading dialogue for whatever reason, or thought they could only talk to people once or were eager to get to the end.

i’m not saying there should be a proper way to enjoy DR (i feel that’s part of what got UT fandom the infamy back in 2016)

IT’S JUST INTERESTING that compared to UT, with so many dialogue options that carry over into new chapters somehow apparently, it’s like a “you reap what you sow” thing. the enjoyment you get out of DR is what you put into it, if that makes sense at all.

like if you’re someone who’s fondly missed these characters, enjoyed them, etc. it’s not obligatory for you to walk around town for an extra hour even after 6-8 hours of gameplay talking and exploring. if you aren’t, you skip, go straight home, miss dialogue that actually might have overworld consequences in the following chapters

i know i can click off & watch a bunch of other people’s let’s plays and i have been. it’s just that i had this thought bc of it.

Jackbox’s “Blather Round” perfectly encapsulated in two images.
