If there's one comment I hope they listen to, it's about getting the map to find the infinite-ammo submachine gun.  If they spend the rest of the game plinking away at everything with that pistol, I don't know if I'm going to be able to stand it.
 
Although even if they don't find the infinite one, at least the town-hall meeting will give them access to Panda Bear without them having to find it, so they can buy some new weapons.  That's one thing DP does right: letting you shop at the gun store through your case.

Easily solution if you hate it that much. That's right, don't watch it.   While you can get a free pass on the Brad/Ryan one since it's their first go at this, but you knew going in how Jeff and Vinny play games, if you watched the first ER as you said, so you have no reason to complain. Yes it's annoying and yes it's frustrating to watch them do some of the things they do, but that's how they play games and that's how they are going to continue playing them. No point in getting mad at it because nothing you can say or do will ever change it. If it bothers you that bad then, again, don't watch it and leave the rest of us alone so we can watch it and comment about it without needing to sift through all the hate messages telling them how to play.  I'm not saying your wrong about the mistakes they make, god knows they make tons of them, but you should know by now that's how they play and they don't care what anyone in the comments says. If you cant handle that then you know what to do. "
 Um. While its true they tend act really dumb disregard clues from the game, they have proven in the past to at least listen to user comments. Vinny mentioned it even in Episode 4.  Its the only way they even made it past P4 So I say, no, complaing helps a lot. Besides, if they put videos out in the public, they open themself to criticism.  I assure you  that unlike some of the users here, they can take some criticism and they tend to listen to it. "
I'm sorry, but saying that that is why they made it past P4 is giving Jeff and Vinny way too little credit. In fact, I'm starting to doubt you and I watched the same Persona 4 Endurance Run.  That said, carry on your arguing because the internet is definitely serious business. "
Thats the worst internet tough-guy  copout'''HUR Y SO SERIOUS?'; Yeah whatever,
 
And umm.. maybe your retarded or something, but the fact that they made the exact same Personas as people recommended and somehow always followed user advice and were obviously lying when they pretented to stumble  across the true ending make it painfully obvious they would have probably had twice the total playtime without the commenters. "

Ah yes, insulting anyone who doesn't share your line of thinking is sure to help your argument. I guess you are the alpha male in this internet tough guy business. At the very least, you are better at it than I am. Well done. 
As for your point, it is fun to see how you contradict yourself. First you said "it is the ONLY way they even made it past P4". And now you say "they would have probably had twice the total playtime". But then again, maybe I am retarded like you so eloquently point out. Carry on.

@mutha3: I guess I was not clear either. I meant that people should stop watching if it angers them. To continue watching from that point borders on some kind of masochism. 
 
Also, I do enjoy them playing the game so it is "entertaining video content" FOR ME and probably most of the people watching.. The only "manchildren" here are you and all the other OCD idiots trying to teach someone else to play a game. Are you the kind of person who wants to grab a controller from someone else's hand just because they can't play at a proficiency level acceptable to you?

God, everyone is so defensive.
 
I agree with some that if you totally hate the way they play, then don't watch. But just sitting here watching them mess around with game mechanics and not trying to comment to help them out is just plain stupid. I absolutely don't want them getting spoilers, but if the people in these comments can help them get an infinite ammo Magnum or whatever to help Vinny and Jeff enjoy the game more, how can anyone complain about that?
 
And also, both groups have explicitly stated that they have read comments. Also, during the P4 run, both of them took dozens of hints from the comments and it helped the game move forward in a more enjoyable manner without ruining the humor that we all get from watching them play.
 
So everyone, just take a chill pill, enjoy it for what it is, and if you have any quick, non-spoiler hints, you might as well post 'em and see if they help out.

@NoDeath:

Agreed, maybe with things going on the next few days heard about on the bombcast will have Jeff & Vinny charging through the ER so they can put out a bunch over the next few days to catch up. Right now at Brad & Ryan's side of their ER they are not that far ahead so plenty of time for Jeff & Vinny to overtake them.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember insulting the staff members. Just the retards who worship them.

Let me repeat myself for the 5th time:
 
  



We are not asking for a professional speedrun.
 
We're just asking a base level of understanding basic video game mechanics.  

 
I guess you enjoy watching two dudes look at a map for 40 minutes and moan about textures. That's fine of course, but don't expect others to enjoy watching that crap...or for us to suddenly stop commenting . 
 
If its worth anything: I liked episode 4/5 a lot in the BR series. And it would be great if all of them were like that.
 
 


 First you said "it is the ONLY way they even made it past P4". And now you say " Carry on.  they would have probably had twice the total playtime".


 Hahahha , oh wow. Seriously? You call that a contradiction? Learn what the term hyperbole means, please.
 
Also, its amusing that your trying the whole ''alpha male'' bullshit card when you yourself didn't respond to my arguments but instead opted to go for the ''HURRRRR Y SO SRS?'' bullshit. Truly a remarkable response to my arguments, truly.

It wouldn't be an endurance run if there weren't extensive arguments about how the runners should be playing the game, or if we should give them advice in the comments.

And yet again you humble me by your superior insights. But surely, you must agree that you completely schooled me which, in turn, makes you the superior internet tough guy? Then again, like I admitted in my previous comment, maybe I am retarded like you yourself pointed out. Also, I am sorry that I failed to understand that your writing was actually a demonstration of clever rhetorics--I think I have underestimated the thought that you put into your writing. I congratulate you.

Come on guys, playing for an hour and throwing an intro on can't be that big of a deal. This endurance run will be like 300 episodes long if we carry on in 20 minute increments.

I hope they finish this game quickly so they can do another endurance run of a game that's actually entertaining to watch. Vinny and Jeff vs a game with animeish tendencies seems to work the best. I'd love to watch them playing Valkyria Chronicles or Star Ocean 4 or Yakuza 3.

It's probably randomly chosen so you can't just shoot the exact same hand every time. Although apparently it doesn't matter if you shoot the wrong one... "

Hmm, I thought the hands on the tree were all identical, though (just a hand with its fingers outstretched).

Considering the P4 ER only took 155 episodes, I'd say that's unlikely.

 I am complaining about the length of a free video too!  Even though I find this game similarly intolerable for long periods of time, and there's also another video with similar content that's longer!  I'd watch that but I'm so good at video games that watching other people play them at less than optimum efficiency fills me with unending rage!  When will this website cater to me, the noisy minority?  I demand answers!

Those are all awful choices.  Especially star ocean 4, do you want to kill them?
 
Yakuza 3 is just crazy enough, that it might work though......

They had been playing for much longer than that. This was part of a long play session.
