Raising kids in NYC isn't a win either
It's strange because Conker's story and humor is THE reason not only to play it but the reason why you Let's Play it. To see people reacting to it
It depends on if he’s in NYC proper or a Borough like Staten Island. If he’s living in Jersey, Phili, or another state close by then he can probably be fine.
Damn, this is how I learned about this. Definitely a good move to get his kid out of LA, but fuck is it disappointing that this is going to relegate him to guest status on OneyPlays. This on top of Zach being too busy to commonly be on anymore is really a catastrophic hit. I guess the reign of Cory is going to be endless even though he ALSO lives in another state... but I doubt we're gonna be so lucky as to have Tomar be so frequent since he actually has stuff in his life of value unlike Cory. We're running out of core members here, actually makes me wonder how much longer OneyPlays will go on for.
I don't have viewership charts on me or anything, but haven't GG always been more popular because a couple years after Jon left they successfully transitioned their fanbase from teenage and 20-something gamer men to 80 million tumblr girls who goon over Dan/Arin fanfiction?
Not only that but they're playing more danganronpa so that's easy views from retarded tumblrkids, but for game grumps it's make it or break it and oneyplays is one bad Adam/Cory accidental slur away from being deleted and it won't matter to them that much
I remember them playing Starfield and Cory was constantly crying "I just want to play Pseudoregalia," a tranny furry coomer-bait 3D platformer. Then like 3 months or so ago I saw they actually played it, knew all of Cory's commentary would be about how much he wants to fuck the furry protagonist, and actively avoided watching it.
I don't know why, but I have an inkling the oneyplays channel is getting fucked with behind the scenes by YouTube. I have absolutely zero evidence, and know that there's a sizable piece of the fan base that doesn't like Corey and Lyle and that's who've been on a lot lately, but I can't help but feel there's some tomfoolery afoot. Maybe someone doesn't like Smiling Friends getting big, and OP being a major influence on the show? IDK, you decide
It really isn't anything more complicated other than "the current guests are not as popular as the others (read: zach hadel)." Looking at everything post DD/J, videos without Zach have almost always performed worse than videos with him. The videos handicapped by Lyle that also have a ton of views coincidentally have Zach in them. I don't think anyone at YT gives a shit about fucking with the channel, it's just that not all of the content they're churning out is necessarily appealing to the audience they built.
agree, it felt too on-the-nose and their over-the-top amazed/delighted reactions to the (not actually that great) humor were grating. they should go back to Harvester instead, that's much more the kind of "lolwtf game" i prefer. and/or my summer car.
I used to think, "Is anyone actually there for gameplay on any oneyplays video? They're not pros, they're not particularly good at games and they're getting old." But then the comments during Dark Soul 1+2 with Cory/Adam, Sonic Frontiers, and some other one shot playthroughs proved otherwise.
I agree but I do think them being a little edgier than average (after being more than a little edgier than average in the past) may mean YT probably throttles them a little bit.
i would say to an extent their gameplay matters, i think the best series' like Crash, Spider-Man 2, Croc, Hitman and Kingdom Hearts feature them playing lots of levels or even the whole thing which gives them a lot to comment on. Back when I tried watching Game Grumps the one I enjoyed were the Steam Trains since it featured Danny and Ross playing games they already knew intimately and could show off the bits they liked, which prompted more interesting discussion. Compare that to the TIHYDP in the Egoraptor thread, they make practically no progress with 60 parts of content in at best five hour games like Majora. Even when Oney or Arin aren't commenting on the game, you can tell when there's no progress being made in a game that the commentary takes a hit
They also arent playing the latest flavor of the month goyslop like gg are
