Extra Credits - leftie gaming channel that had two of its members accused of "misconduct" in only 2 months

This Mr. Enter video video was well-reasoned and sensible.

I think I need a detox program. I have lost all of my sense of reality. What the fuck is happening?

Honestly after I finished with this Youtube went on to autoplay his technocracy videos (lol how ironic) and I listened to all of them. When he's not talking about cartoons, dude is pretty solid.

Am I fucking high right now or are you taking the piss?
 
Not even slightly. What's supposed to be bad about this guy...?

Last I heard Mr. Enter was making some top-tier shit cartoon that was filled with all kinds of bad humor and strange implications. Before that, he was the quintessential mediocre cartoon Youtuber. It's just so bizarre to hear someone as autistic as Enter actually make worthwhile content, even if it's been a couple of years since I last browsed content featuring him, be it his channel or his thread on the Farms.

Especially so in that he's shitting on Extra Credits.

Maybe he does not have the Boulder gene like Jarbo and occasionally produces something worth watching, or maybe not as autistic as usual.
 
Second video from MrEnter is out.


No real 'hot takes'. Fairly obvious responses to the 'points' EC makes, but he does a very good job of juxtaposing their previous defenses of video games to their current pro-censorship attitude. It's also quite fun to listen to the sheer amount of genuine contempt for their viewpoints that he manages to convey in his delivery.
 
His cartoons are cringey, embarrising and he seems a bit of a basement dweller but his extra credits video's and social commentry is on the money even if his presentation needs work. With part 2 concluded he's presented the case that extra credits are not advocates for gamers or gaming and does so conclusively. They're not one of us and they're not looking out for our interests. What really impresses is how he shows it's a bipartisan perspective rather than tied to one field.

Not bad for a protololcow.

I think I've grown a bit more respect for Enter these past few months. Anyways do you think the Extra Credits crew changed or were they always this way.

I've not an expert on them, but from what I understand they've been particularly fucky since gamergate, but even early on there's always been some videos that have had iffy advice.

Anyone who judges a video game first and foremost by anything other than how fun it is as a game is an idiot. EC has been flawed from the start and come off as extremely insecure, being unable to like anything unless it has something grandiose and profound to say.
Let games be games man, if a game tells a thought provoking story that's great, but at the end of the day gameplay and interactivity, the two things that set this medium apart from other types of media should come first.
EC is so busy trying to prove that video games can be for "big boys" that he forgets this. His casual dismissal of anything that just wants to provide a fun time and be more than a deep walking sim makes him laughable.
 
Extra Credits just released a video on review bombing.















Of course they say review bombing can be used as a tool to "bully or incite", and then give the Firewatch reviews as an example at 4:37, because how dare people get upset at the fact a developer can retroactively decide to damage your career and livelihood for saying a no no word.

As much as I agree how "review bombing" can be destructive and pretty shitty at times, a lot of the worst examples I can think of aren't exactly unjustified. Most recent examples that come to mind include Fallout 76, Star Wars Battlefront II, and of course the gem that is Blizzard's Warcraft III: Reforged. Like idk how these games shouldn't receive all the bad reviews + low scores they rightly deserve.

You're a AAA studio that just released the newest entry in your cash cow franchise and all of a sudden, boom, trolls give your game bad reviews. You didn't want this, you didn't ask for this, but there it is. And it's treated no differently than positive reviews by paid shills.
 
"Review Bombing", 95% of the time, and especially coming from longtime industry shill Extra Creditz, just means "you weren't supposed to ask questions, you were supposed to consume product, and get excited for next products!"
Describing the review bomb of "play an Amazon employee to abstract nonsense" that is Death Stranding as "gamers are mad Kojima is friends with Geoff Kieghley" confirms to me that this video is just more of that.
