    I was on holiday for the first dozen and am wondering if it is worth my time as they seem to go on forever

    I dropped out 35 episodes ago, my endurance wasn't high enough it seems. 100 episodes and it broke me down, so i would say no. But in a minute you will have a gazillion people tell you yes.

    You don't have to if you don't want to .  I never watched any of them.  I'm the kind of guy that would rather play then watch.

    The story segments are fun to watch cus they're so wierd, and Jeff/Vinny have great reactions. Overall I'd say you can skip dungeoncrawl episodes or just skip to the boss.

    Even having beaten Persona 4, I love to watch them. You don't really have to see a bunch at once, just watch one every now and then .. they're not going anywhere.

    I'd say watch the first few and decide for yourself. They have a nice charm to them, but it doesn't work for everyone. I'd say if you like JRPGs, the Quick Looks, Jeff and Vinny, chances are you'll love the ER.

    I never liked the endurance run. I'm not someone who can watch people play games, even a JRPG, and it was never a game I was particularly interested in. And the deification of Persona on this site is just starting to grate on me. I feel like I've got better things I could be doing than spending 80 hours watching Jeff and Vinny play a game.

    If you don't like watching 2 people playing a JRPG they're not worth watching.

    What's with the multiple threads on this anyways?  Check it out and see for yourself... don't leave it up to others to determine if you will like it or not.  And if you don't like it, don't watch & don't complain.  There's a lot of other content for you here other than endurance runs.  The # of episodes it has gone up to should be a testament that there's a good # of people on this site enjoying it.  /endrant & incoming 2 cents.....
     
    At first I didn't think anything of them and didn't bother to watch.  One day out of sheer boredom I fired the first one up.   I'm now up to about 40 & don't regret it.
     
    The part that got me hooked was in an earlier episode when they met the bear dude in the TV... one of  your characters proceeds to tear his head off out of nowhere.  Jeff and Vinny's reactions had me laughing a good while.  If you've ever been a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, you will definitely enjoy this.
     
    Big yes from me & I look forward to seeing what the next endurance run game will be.  I'd love to see them at least do the hardest tracks on Trials HD.... Inferno II Jeff & Vinny?

    If you already like Persona 4 or Persona 3, then yes.
     
    If you really like Jeff and Vinny, then yes.
     
    If you have any interest in the game at all, then maybe watch a few, then play for yourself, then come back and watch the rest.
     
    Otherwise, if you haven't watched it yet, you probably never will.

    Bingo. There's no harm in trying out the first few. They're not long. Not everyone feels the same way about the Endurance Run, so there's no sense it asking other people about it when it's so easy for people to just try it out for themselves.

    How is nobody complaining about how there have been at least 3 threads like this THIS MONTH?  You could have easily searched for an answer and you don't need to watch it if you don't want to!  Geez, do you have to ask the internet for something you should do when it only relates to what you like?  How the hell should anyone be able to answer that type of question for you?

    I didn't start till episode 30-something and it was easy to get into it. Starting from episode 130 might be a bit of a problem.
