Criticism: Why 2 ERs?

Should GB be doing 2 ER's of the same game, as opposed to other things like QLs, video reviews, or two different games ER'd instead of the same game?

Classic business saying: "Put your money on the table."
For GB, this means focus on making sure all your content is actually being seen. I'm going to take a random guess and say that over 80% of people only watch one ER being VJ/BR, and not both. Instead of doing the same ER, why don't you have BR make an ER of a different game, or I don't know, be more consistent about putting up video reviews for reviewed games?


This is not a thread asking how much of each ER you watch.

I watched both at first, when they were going through the game at roughly the same pace. Once BR got ahead, I stopped watching VJ, just to keep things straight. 
 
HOWEVER! Once BR is over, I am most definitely going to go back and watch VJ for its sheer entertainment value.

Complaining about free content.

Yep, I am alternately watching both and I am happy to have both.

I do. Watch BR first because they're ahead and seem to be enjoying some aspects of the game more now, although the jokes VJ crack are still good enough for me to watch their side of things too.

Double Endurance, Double the fun!
Of course I only watch VJ...

I watch both. I watch VJ first because they are behind. That might change soon though.

I watched both until the 2nd group got to the half hour wall crawling part.  I didn't watch that again, but I might pick them back up.
 
Something like this would be more appropriate for a heavily branching game like Mass Effect.  Deadly Premonition seems pretty linear, despite the open-world stuff.
 
I'm happy to get whatever they give me though.  Two is still better than one!

I watch both. Usually start with VJ because they were behind, then immediately watch BR. That could change now that VJ is almost caught up.

Also gift horse in the mouth, don't criticize.

Because they can.

Im watching both and it's the best way to watch the ER

I'm watching both. 
 
TBH it's not really a bother, the guys are clearly having fun doing it and that's all that matters. 
 
I didn't watch the P4 Endurance Run so, not everybody is going to like the same things.

I watch both, but they could do with just one.
 
And what's up with people saying we can't provide constructive criticism for free content? We're supposed to just be mute? People need feedback. If someone gives you free shit, it's still shit. And you have every right to criticize it.

I'm enjoying the VJ endurance run more.

I'm not watching either. The joke of "its a bad game, lets laugh at it" could have been done in a single quick look.

I agree with the OP. It seems the crew is investing way too much time into this game. One team would've been sufficient. I'd rather see more quicklooks.
 
Tbh, I started watching both teams until about video #10 and now I don't follow the ER anymore at all. At the beginning parts the game showed potential for genious moments but I eventually realized that 90% of this game is just pure boredom.
 

@Briguile:

Another thought: I think now that they've started it they have to pull through. One or both teams giving up would look like a failure. I just hope the game's over soon. 

Complaining about free content, good god

I'm only watching the VJ videos right now. I'll likely go back and watch the BR ones once this is all over, though. I can't sit through two videos a day of Deadly Premonition, so one is more than enough. That said, you don't have to watch both or even one of them, and they're still putting up plenty of Quick Looks and other things as well. And if they were playing different games, people would be complaining about that, too.

I wacth ze both ERs und ich bin very happy.

ditto. I think it's one of the funniest things they've done in a long time. "

Why not?

Seriously, not much to do a video review of. They don't like doing them too often, as you can see their main content (being quicklooks, interviews and ERs) are all pretty raw, rarely super processed and edited like a video review. It takes a lot of work for a small site like that to do a video review. So it has to usually be something pretty significant. 
 
Also it's not like it's slowing down quick looks and other features, so what's the problem? 
 
Two makes sense for DP, the game's about 20 hours long without doing too many sidequests, and persona took them (almost) 100 hours to beat. 

I watch both. I like the experiment of dueling perspectives on the same thing for now. Whether they are different enough to maintain two on the same game remains to be seen at the end, but I'm thoroughly enjoying both.

While I like having two endurance runs what I  would really like to see is 2 endurance runs at the same time but of different games.

The only problem I have with there being two Endurance Runs of Deadly Premonition is how similar they are; quite a few times Vinny and Jinny make the exact same observations and jokes as Bryan and Brad.

I'm watching both. They're both fun to watch and there's still 4/5 Quick Looks been posted in the last week.

First of all, I love the whole Bomb Squad crew.  They each have their own unique talent they bring to the site.  I'm watching them both concurrently, but I have some issues with this whole thing.  VJ are having fun, taking their time, doing side missions, exploring the world, etc.  
 
On BR, Ryan is constantly telling Brad what to do and how he's doing it all wrong so Brad gets frustrated (for example naked ceiling lady) and goes into fits of swearing.  I just don't think these two are getting to enjoy it because Ryan is constantly pushing Brad to finish the main story.  But look, when compared to VJ, BR have less money, less side quests done, but they're further along in the story.  I don't think they are getting the full experience and this makes me wonder how Brad and Ryan play games when they review them.  Do they play them thoroughly or just rush through like this?
 
TRY TO HAVE SOME FUN, GUYS!  RELAX!  YOUR VIEWING AUDIENCE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE!  TAKE YOUR TIME!

It's funny how half the people here are missing the point of the thread, so I'll re-edit to make it clear.

I watched both for a good 10-15 episodes but then I fell behind in BR. Now that VJ are ahead for me, I have no real reason to go back and watch those BR episodes.
 
Also, watching both in one day takes up a fair amount of time.

Yeah I find they get a little tiresome myself.
I guess I find them amusing but I generally have to be pretty bored to watch them.
 
I would definitely swap them out for quicklooks, but whatever.

I'd take out BR's whole ER just for one more episode of BUTTONMASHING!

Yea, there's a lot of content daily on this site, so I don't know what all the complaining is about. 
 
I'm not overly concerned with the lack of video reviews, because in place of a 5-7 minute video review, you get a written review and maybe a 25 minute quicklook... not too shabby from where I'm sitting.

I was following Brad and Ryan's walkthrough, but once VJ and Jeff caught up, I started watching both.

" It's funny how half the people here are missing the point of the thread, so I'll re-edit to make it clear. "

I watch a block of one and then a block of another. I find it actually adds a lot to the proceedings and I much prefer it this way. Since this game is so much shorter than P4, I'd rather get a lot of parts this way than only a few the traditional way.

 
The way I understand it they only cover stuff that they themselves are intersted in. So even if there were one less endurance run I don't think they would just start reviewing and doing quick looks of extra stuff just cause. Also they just started Thursday Night Throwdown adding even more video content to the site so it really doesnt seem like theyre cutting back at all. As for the video reviews Im fairly sure anything they say in them you can find in the text. If there is any video content they could do without its probably those.
