I'm starting to think Brad complains too much. It's fine if he sees something stupid and points it out but he just doesn't stop. I feel like 75% of what he says is a complaint and there not even new complaints he's starting to repeat himself. 

Well the game is complete shit.

I think some people already know my thoughts on Brad, as per my thread regarding him. His constant complaints and negativity annoys me too. Yes, we know it's a shit game but give it a chance.  
Gotta say though, the game does seem pretty poor, and is probably frustrating to play.

" Well the game is complete shit. "

I think team BR is really a downer I much prefer team VJ

i don't mind them pointing out shit bits and making fun of the game, it's just the constant sighing that annoys me i guess. Just seems like brad's having no fun at all, which kinda sucks to watch and listen to. At least Vinny, Jeff and Ryan are enjoying the shittiness of  the shitty parts.

With all the complaining and nitpicking it's obvious that they're not enjoying the game at all, which in turn makes it difficult for me to enjoy watching them.  The Endurance Run shouldn't be like a review or quick look.
 
The VJ run is pretty fun, since they're just rolling with it and goofing around. Maybe Brad and Ryan will open up to it eventually.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN THIS GAME A CHANCE EITHER. Dude. Look at it. The graphics aren't there, it's $20 and it's got a 58 on Metacritic. But because of things like the Destructoid review (don't pretend you didn't take that into account) and people being like 'it's so bad it's good' is the only reason you're taking it bad. Plus, it is hilariously bad. That doesn't make it good to play through. Maybe they just like bad games less.

If I remember correctly from the eaaaarly days of the P4 ER, you are allowed to stop any time you want, right? Obviously they won't stop playing the game because the ER is so popular, but it would be absolutely hilarious if they did.

The game is shit, what do you expect them to do? Cheer joyously while they suffer through the horrible gameplay?

I don't hear complaining I hear the sweet soothing voice of Brad.

I love the idea of a dual ER but the BR team should be given a different game. They clearly don't enjoy playing Deadly Premonition, and they shouldn't be forced to. They're simply don't like it, and most of us won't enjoy listening to the boredom/irritation they exhibit. 
 
Watch the Choo-Choo Mania throwback quicklook if you want an example of Ryan being amped about a game and tell me that's not more entertaining.

This is why I watch.  Also, I love you. "

A little bit, yeah. It's mostly from Brad really, really, really not wanting to have any part in it.

The thing is, Ryan actually seems to enjoy the parts of the game outside of the combat (which is the general consensus), given his comment on having to suffer through the combat to get to the good stuff in the latest video (paraphrasing of course). He has quietly scolded brad a couple times about his negativity, and he seems truly interested in the story, considering how he always tells brad to keep going when they hit saves and Brad wants to stop. 
 
There's nothing wrong with Brad complaining (it may be more frustrating having to play as well as take in the absurdity), but I feel like he came into this giving the game no chance to entertain him; but hey, I can't fault him for that. The game gives a terrible first impression, and the combat in particular is pretty damn bad; I just wish he could see past the game's faults at times.  
 
Poorly written, but it's late and I'm watching mythbusters (hell yeah).

I think Brad complains about as much as people who complain about him complaining.

The thing is, Brad complains as much over the mistakes he makes independent of the controls as he does the game in general.  Constantly forgetting to reload his gun and use the handbrake is a good example of this.  Ryan sounds like he's getting kind of fed up with it too, particularly when he watched a zombie charge up and shoot him.  When a monster's glowing, that's never a good thing.  
 
Haven't seen him do anything on the order of the Bufu debacle yet.

Answer: Yeah.  I deliberately dont watch Team BR because Ryan is too serious and Brad whines like a woman. 
 
Thats a little harsh.  Brad just has higher standards for games...

Brad and Ryan get sit done

It's fine. This game clearly isn't for everyone and I think it's fun to see the different personalities there, those who can look past the awfulness and those who can't. We know he's going to play it to the end anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me that much.

I've got the game - just because the graphics suck doesn't mean that the game sucks. Sure it's not perfect (especially the profiling bits [picking up clues] and the driving bits), but the rest of the game is actually really solid. I'm actually enjoying it thoroughly, sans the two mechanics above.

Brad complains too much about everything.  It's what he does.  It wouldn't be a Brad quicklook/video/podcast if he didn't act like he didn't want to be there.

" Usually, in a quick look or something, this would be a problem. But in the endurance run, it's just amusing, because you know the're going to keep doing it, and keep playing it.  Or maybe i'm just a sadistic bastard... "

Team BR needs to complain more.

A bit much, but it's still fun to watch.
 
I don't really mind it though, because it kind of shows two perspectives. BR don't like it, VJ accept it's suckiness and embrace it.

I find Brad to be far too quite, there's a lot of dead air in the BR videos, or where it's just Ryan talking. It's great that they are doing it, it's still pretty early in the Run.

" I don't hear complaining I hear the sweet soothing voice of Brad. "

I actually like the game, I bought it because of finding out about it here and it really is crazy good. All be it, the combat sucks, but the game itself has so much charm it's still one of my favourite games of the year so far. I can't even explain reasonably why it's good it's just amazing.
 
 
That said, there's nothing wrong with Ryan and Brad complaining about the game, thinking it sucks. I actually really like Ryan on these endurance runs so far. The problem is brad isn't hating on the game from a positive happy place, Brad is outright unhappy. I'm sure I said in one of the video coments, it's possible to hate on the game and still be happy well you do it. Right now Brad is making it uncomfortable to watch. Brad can keep hating the game but he needs to lighten up and be happy well he does it. It's not fun to listen to him sound like he's being forced to participate in the endurance run under threat of being fired or something.

"
I haven't watched a single episode of BR yet, but that's because I'm not a fan of Ryan's overall...erm, "demeanor" and I don't want to have to listen to him beyond the podcast.  
 
Does that fit within the boundaries of "not bashing"? 
 
Edit: I should mention, I haven't watched a single full episode of BR. "

" Well the game is complete shit. "

I think BR are kind of lightening up to it. The first episode was painful but now they seem to understand what's to like about the game.

" Usually, in a quick look or something, this would be a problem. But in the endurance run, it's just amusing, because you know the're going to keep doing it, and keep playing it.  Or maybe i'm just a sadistic bastard... "

I'm actually starting to enjoy BR far more than I do VJ.
 
At first, Brad's complaining kind of turned me off, but it doesn't bug me anymore. It feels more like he' saying it in jest now.

I feel Jeff and Vinny TRIES to enjoy the game.
 
While Brad and Ryan seems more like stuck doing this because it's their job.
 
Would be nice if they keep more of open mind about this, but then again the different attitude for different team is what makes it interesting. 
 
So in my mind, I get to see how cool people would approach this game (VJ) and how a typical American gamers would approach this game (BR)

Vinny & Jeff got pretty bored and frustrated during Persona, grinding old dungeons, moving around in the dated PS2 engine.
