Transcripts

about the the post 5.0 live stream yeah

thought it was hilarious how when I made

a reaction video to the live stream and

I said the changes were good and I'm

glad that gen back's heading in the

right direction it got Mass disliked

because people assume because me not

liking the live stream mean that I

wasn't excited for the future of natland

even though I've been so positive about

the future of natland it's crazy with

documented evidence by the way I mean

that's why I don't give a about these

dislike bombs on my videos cuz these

people are so [ __ ] that if they

really can't Gras the video and all they

do is just see one dislike they say well

what if I make it too like these people

are so dumb I think they dislike you

joking about thanking wooa I mean listen

here I'll be real guys and they hate

your ass too they say you're just as

brainwashed because of me they say that

you're all my stockhom syndrome chat man

it's great but in reality it's that you

want to know why my chat seems so

dystopian compared to people who watch

the Youtube videos that's because you

guys watch the whole thing they watch

five seconds assume they know what the

context is and then leave [ __ ] ass

comments and it's been happening for six

years and they still don't get it and

that's okay it's not every YouTube

commentary to be honest it's barely any

of them but man when they see smoke

there is fire they freak the [ __ ] out

anyways uh I've been brainwashed also

true asmin wait is he is he responding

this this is so stupid I wonder if they

have like a name for him you know wait

asmin reacted to this saying this is so

stupid okay great uh let's what is all

this about oh God excited okay this is

going over the VA [ __ ] too okay we'll

watch this and then we'll make another

video about the VA [ __ ] uh VA

Shenanigans all right cool techy they

also hated you calling Capitano and NPC

all right let's pull it up Capitano okay

so they're upset because they said I

said that this guy looks like an NPC

right okay let's look up random fouille

enemy gen an impact so I want to make

this very clear so people were confused

how I said that this guy the

Capitano looks like an

NPC when these are the NPCs so you're

telling me that me saying that is

actually so controversial because he's

just a m

faceless enemy so we're really going to

act like me saying that and not

immediately going oh wait he's white and

black instead of black and red that's

Capitano the strongest mortal in all of

genion impact Jesus

Christ it it legit looks like the same

[ __ ] thing like these people are so

[ __ ] dumb it's it's ridiculous it's

so [ __ ] dumb he doesn't have boobs

that means he's an NPC for you no quite

literally he just looks like the other

little assassin guys you fighting dumb

mans yeah dude he's clearly white not

just an NBC I mean the other thing is

man if they were to just give him a face

I would immediately recognize him but

not immediately acknowledging a mass

figure as the strongest mortal and

you've disrespected my anime gotcha

culture shut the [ __ ] up [ __ ] you're

annoying as [ __ ] all anyways he looks

better here why did they make him look

so weak why did they give him noodle

arms bro like what was arataki EO not

enough like are you telling me that if

these if there was like seven of these

in Dragon spine you wouldn't think oh

okay let me kill these to get like

collect the hats the Capitan hats you

know here's the thing Man it is very

hard to have a character in a video game

be iconic without them having a face and

now what you might do is you might go

online and find like two or three

characters that are iconic without a

face you might right but I assure you

the amount of characters that look

iconic without a mask far outweighs

those that are masked and hopefully that

makes sense if that does upset you and

you are getting upset at me saying this

I really do hope that you kill in

Minecraft because the game is just

[ __ ] terrible and I think that you

could use a lot more free time perhaps

going to the gym re-evaluating yourself

in nature and really moving forward with

your life anyways let's see what's going

are probably making somewhere between

half a bill dollar every single month I

insane there are so many people that

feel bad for him it's so pathetic I know

they're a bunch of brainwashed little

sheep it's

[Music]

insane I mean let's be real their idea

of fixing the game was giving us a free

five star from the standard selector

when every other game has given us a

premium unit like Dr Ratio or the

[ __ ] robot dude in weaing waves like

wow dude we can finally get our Chi-Chi

thank

God I will admit the artifact change was

cool though where they uh made us be

able to choose the main stat and choose

really good change

to be with all the travelers all the

players in tavat and the

g you going to come to my

house for

I mean it's a really it's a really great

speech right it's a really great speech

but why do I feel this feeling in the

back of my head that's

saying in two updates time will be

exactly where we've been for the past

year all over again give us till five

5.2 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 5.8 and why do I

feel like we're just going to be right

back where we

started you

[Applause]

know you

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

woman

not he's being communicative and

connecting with the audience it's very

cool it's like the second child finally

got a warm hug from the

parents chills guys I got literal I got

literal chills right now yep what would

make the game good again in your opinion

I think the best I think better

traversal and a skip button would do it

good end game could be great too I think

the thing for me as gravy is that

there's too many better alternatives to

play right now right I I actually don't

think there is a way to make genin a

better overall experience than the other

games that are available on the market

right now you know here's the biggest

issue with genin impact and why I don't

think it can ever truly be fixed and I'm

and I'm willing to eat my words if ever

happens the problem is is genjin is a

game made for everybody and when you

make a game for everybody it ends up

being a game made for nobody where in

reality h

and Zena Zone zero and weing waves are

very specific with the type of players

they want to have play their game but

genin is too vague and tries to be way

too Universal with everything that they

make and it just it doesn't feel like oh

yeah this game was made for me so like

when I play Zen Zone zero you know it it

gives me the brain dead bra it gives me

the brain dead brain Rod experience that

I want right the flashy razmataz of

pressing button seeing cool things

happens when weaing waves plays I feel

like my my hardcore sense of uh you know

me wanting to Mid Max and really learn

the game and feel it out and really

scratches the uh the bug in my brain for

like a a very immersive highly intense

combat experience right when I play

honai Star rail it feels like turnbas

Perfection right and the story is

[ __ ] impeccable but for genjin I'm

just like okay so like okay genuine

question what do you all think genshin

does better than endless Zone zero

honkey star rail or weing waves right

like what what does it do better I would

say let's play Devil's Advocate I think

maybe the World building is better but

that's because the game's been out

longer like the game's been out for 5

years so the world is pretty [ __ ] big

but I'm sure in five [ __ ] years the

other games will also have that that

being said I think honkai star's World

building is a little bit better uh I

really enjoy the yeah actually no yeah

I'm wrong on that one I think hsr's

worlds feel very unique okay maybe maybe

I'm wrong with that genin's better at

making people learn what Sun's fallacy

is true Pete con's insane World building

also true that's the problem best drama

vids and the most D players for Content

yeah I I mean yeah pardon me if I don't

subscribed to whatever that [ __ ]

[ __ ] was but uh yeah I I I highly

doubt and I I just don't feel bad for

the criticism that genj and received

because it was deserved and we all know

it was [ __ ] deserved what we're going

to villainize people who don't like

[ __ ] game now because it's been in a

[ __ ] state for four [ __ ] years it's

just cap bro it's legit just cap uh this

[ __ ] is so [ __ ] lame but that's just

my opinion let me know why I'm a big

evil guy in the comments and why gench

back's your girlfriend see y'all later
