BR-39

Vinny heckling Brad and Ryan over their collective overthinking of a fairly simple puzzle was hilarious to me. Probably because I've had similar instances in my own past with overthinking simple puzzles and having to stop my game for minute while I laugh at myself.

Finally making it through these Endurance Runs and it kind of boggles my mind how bad Brad is at the game. Granted, the combat is not great and I died at least once to the wall ladies but goddamn it, Brad was pretty pathetic. It was funny how exasperated he became though. I'm watching the BR ER first but I'm hoping Jeff and Vinny at least figured out early on that the shotgun is the way to go against the wall ladies. Also, why all the weapon switching Brad? He's got an unlimited ammo SMG and yet constantly pulls out a melee to break boxes. Ryan's commentary has made it watchable though. I never get tired of hearing "Oh goddamn it, Brad!"

Brad always says that it's the game's fault that he does so poorly, and while he's right about the gun-play and controls being pretty bad, he still played the game in an incredibly sloppy fashion.

" These dueling endurance runs are a great demonstration on why you should attack obstacles with a positive outlook. The VJ run accepted the shortcomings of this game, made the best of them, and got through the game without too much trouble. BR are having a much worse time. Their apathy, scorn, and frustration seem to get in the way and they end up lost and dead much more, generally accompanied by tons of complaining. All four guys are obviously very capable game players, but attitude seems to divide how much enjoyment they get out of the game and how well they do in it. Luckily for us, both ERs are fun. "
This was my revelation last time. I realized that, for whatever reason, Vinny and Jeff accepted that the game was shitty and sort of adapted, but Brad and Ryan keep treating it as though it's competently made and that's what's getting them killed time and again. Don't get me wrong, the game has charmed me with its personality, but it is a POORLY made game. But if your only argument (not the person I'm quoting, but the general "you") is that Brad is bad at games, that's bullcrap.

I feel Brad's pain. Back in the day, I was stuck for more than a year at something even stupider in Space Quest III. I would get into a grabber crane, pick up the warp engine, and drop it into the derelict space ship. I could then not for the life of me figure out what to do. I was stuck in the grabber forever.
 
It turns out all I had to do was type "get out". 
 
My only defence is that I was very, very young at the time, but to this day I try not to rag on people for not seeing obvious solutions.

goddamn I was thinking that they should have hit the deer heads the whole time; it's the only reason they'd have put the steel pipe there- in case the players has no melee weapons.

And this is the irrefutable proof that the people who complain about the people who complain about Brad's playing abilities are WRONG. I swear, the BR ER makes VJ look like video game geniuses. At this point, I'm watching the BR run only because (A) I want to see their reactions to all the crazy shit that's coming and (B) I don't want to stop watching ER episodes, now that VJ is done.

Unbelievable. Oh BR, the pain and frustration you cause. Oh 7 minutes to figure out that the red sparkling deers are the one to interact. Oh taking a zombie with 3 clips of fbi gun. Oh constantly swaping to the ice axe just to break a box. Oh Brad being so sure of himself saying that this is the main suit. After this episode and the last one I need a full weekend of spa and massages.

If there is one thing these ER's have shown, it's different play styles. Brad has a radically different gameplaying style to Vinny, and whilst that may be fine in other games, it is making Deadly Premonition harder than it might need to be. But there is nothing wrong with that; it is simply a matter of style. 1956 style.

To know where it's gonna go does make it really fucking painful this time around - I'm not looking forward to it in this respect. At least I now know another reason for the series being called Endurance Run...

赤い種子の犯人像 does make a lot more sense then Deadly Premonitions. I hope reviews aren't based solely on th experience derived from the reviewers skill...

Erm.... i don't remember any specific comments, i don't think you can hear him well enough for that. I think he was just mocking them for not being able to solve the deer head room puzzle, as they were way overthinking it.

I noticed that too, as does the trailer for the game, and the objects you can observe in the first red room (although that is probably because I know how the story ends now).

Not to mention that the first Profiling completely spoils the whole game. Not that anyone who hasn't played it would notice. SWERY sure did hide a lot of easter eggs in this game.

I don't get why Brad is disappointed that they didn't exploit the health kit in the clock tower when he did exploit the health kit. Also, they shot the fucking axe out of the air during the first run to the killer part and they didn't mention it. It was rad.
 
Edit: He only grabbed enough to fill his inventory though.

@TaylorPollock: 
 
Most likely. I probably wouldn't bother with looking at the comments either, with all the backseat gaming and the chance of spoilers. Not worth it.
