What’s with games like this and Saints Row being all about “empathy” and then having the characters act like psychopaths? They caused a car crash at the beginning that killed random civilians and no one cares.
Remember that one Life Is Strange game where the main protagonist has “empathy powers” and all it did was make her unreasonably violent whenever someone was angry?
@@Mimisrealhusband It always wins. I don't know how an OneyPlays of Snoot Game would go, but I know that Tomar would be far too excited to say the slur for Triceratops.
Theres an image of this game's booth in a japanese gaming expo and its the saddest photo I've ever seen. All the crowd avoiding the booth like it was infected with an STD and the game director just standing in front of it alone.
The funniest thing about the whole game to me is the fact they're all in their 30s. They're written like caricatures of teenagers but they're all grown ass adults. Such an obvious self insert for the millennial writers.
It really seems like that. The main character's mother is literally growing heroin. All the Justice officers are polite and seem very reasonable compared to the dustborn.
@@susanoo6962 It was a really good comment too lol it probably helped Zach grow and consider whether or not he was including any substance in his stuff
Zach ran between Russian and Ukrainian forces yelling “STOP” and was turned to stone by Putin’s and Zelensky’s psychic clash. Soldiers ceased their CQC and brought him back to life with their tears, moved by this kooky little man’s sacrifice… aaaaand that’s where he’s been, full stop.
The whole war was secretly orchestrated by Tomar to siphon US aid through Zelensky and cut Europe off of Russian natural gas so he can swoop in and make the EU reliant on his smokestacks
Chris was busy apologizing to the senate for having a gender reveal party and setting fire to all of L.A, he’s not having a baby he was just doing it for fun
Because its ok when *we* gaslight (thats what the powers called) Seriously did they not think of that. The minority characters have a power called gaslighting!?!? something seen as a bad thing!! What were they thiiinking. Im starting to believe this is parody
The fat vitaligo woman is a trope that appeared directly from 2015 tumblr art circles so it existing in these games is a pretty good tell that someone on the team was in highschool or college at that time.
The fact we're seeing a trend here that originated from Tumblr AT ALL says everything we need to know about whoever designed these characters. Their overall mindset says more than their age ever could, even I wasn't that much a degen as a kid. It's more deeply rooted than that.
It’s a shame cause vitaligo is a really unique and interesting skin condition that can make for a good character design, yet it’s wasted on a fat tumblr discord mod and Frey the 2nd.
I mean I kinda like the idea of that, a fantasy universe where sound has magical powers is an interesting idea, Elder Scrolls has some of that in the lore with Shouts and Tone having some magical powers, and Brutal Legend with the guitar riffs and singing, this game doesn't do it well at all though
Oh you have no idea, just wait until you see the combat. Yeah there's combat and you can actually yell at enemies in the middle of the fight, and she literally yells stuff like "You're a loser" to stun them. It gets worse too, when ledges are involved.. I don't think I'm allowed to explain what happens there..
@ Yeah I agree that's a cool concept, but the way I guess I should've phrased it is that their temper tantrums actually work on people to get what they want 😆
there is care put into the game and some of the concepts are pretty interesting. i think the fact is cringe comes from how overly genuine it is sometimes, so i dont think it was made purely maliciously
I hope Niall is totally emotionless and an entire plague on their day to day lives. Because nothing else warrants the amount of times he gets bullied lol
@nostromo9743 That's a relief. I can rest easy with a clear conscious knowing that I have nothing to do with this. Can't believe the Norwegians gave us Black Metal & now... this.
A fat woman with vitiligo and dyed hair was a very common trope in 2010s tumblr for some reason. The person who wrote the character was one of the people who would draw obese women with skin diseases, and Zach was one of the people who would laugh at them. 10 years later, that woman still crosses the minds of both of them from time to time.
The game makes you FEEL like you feel you have a bad relationship with your father despite him paying your way to an expensive feminist college degree.
If you don't know, Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease, where the immune system attacks melanocytes, the risk for skin cancer are much higher and in general is associated with other autoinmune diseases like arthritis, type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto thyroiditis, etc. Why would give that to character that supposedly is the "muscle" of the group, is stressed all the time and is constantly under sunlight? Who knows
Her character bio reads that her biggest weakness is her STRENGHT. She just can't help being such a badass even if it hurts her! That's awesome as hell
They only care enough to shoehorn random traits onto characters for brownie points, not actually write a character around those traits which God forbid would require giving a shit and maybe an hour of research. This is why people roll their eyes when they see these types of characters in games because they're indicative of a game that wants to appease, not impress.
They all pitched in, and now the Oney Plays studio is on its last legs unfortunately. Tomars plan has come to fruition. He can finally "rescue" Chris from bankrupcy and turn the channel fully AI generated.
Seems like an extension of the victim-fetishism. You're the good guy fighting the big bad system. So being unlikable just means that there's more people to fight. So you have more obstacles to overcome and you can be even more of a HERO!
I like how no one in game development actually studies how to build and develop a character based on their setting and background anymore, they just think of themselves and their annoying friends and are like "yeah this would totally be us if we were in that situation" SHUT UP, THIS IS WHY I LEFT THE GAME'S INDUSTRY YOU'RE ALL SO ANNOYING
Pax vs Frey is legitimately a tough matchup At keast Frey changes at the end, even if it isnt earned and rushed. I feel like, without going too much into it, (although i know no one gives a shit about Dustborn spoilers) Pax clears by just a bit.
@milliondollarmistake Cons people on a regular basis. (there's a prologue comic that takes place before the start of the game) Cheats on a guy with Noam. As in actively sleeps with both of them without the other knowing. (again, from prologue comic) A dick to robots only because she can't manipulate them like she can with humans, she's only okay with one when it develops a sense of self (and can thus be manipulated) Will almost always use her Vox to manipulate her friends instead of talking to them and communicating normally. And the biggest one, is she is actually pregnant the entire time and will continue to actively fight cops and put her unborn child in danger. Even when she doesn't need to fight, which is 99% of the time. These are actions that are taken regardless of "choice" and I think that's why she's worse than Frey. Frey, for all of her faults, at least doesn't try and put anyone's life in danger (aside from condemning a whole city to burn)
@Vaguer_Weevil its a highway but apparently there’s no median between opposing traffic. Also look at the dotted line, the entire highway is a passing lane, both ways. technically no one broke any laws here
They had a crew made up of Francesca Ramsey, Milo Yiannopoulos, the rapey teacher from Life is Strange 1, and the Saint's Row player character. How could this have been anything other than a success?
@@dg_productions That Marvel game was so badly written it looped back to amazing. You could easily headcanon it as the Avengers grooming a mentally disabled teenage girl.
Holy shit wait. So their main superpowers are: - "Making people feel bad" Pax - "Gaslighting" Noam - "Becoming rock hard" Golem The true toxic liberal gooner trifecta
They have to have him in one of these cringey badly written video games is tradition they had him in Marvel Avengers, Saints Row reboot, and Forspoken. I'm hoping if they play Dragon Age The Veilguard they also have Zach.
@@curlyhairboiakabaddude8922 there's nothing to quit. Zach doesn't work for oneyplays, his real job is making a television show for Adult Swim. I'm sure he gets paid for the episodes he's in but there's no stakes for him so why quit? He just shows up when he can, he only did like 3 recording sessions last year.
Hooraaaaay! Chris got done visiting his family, Zach finished working on Smiling Friends S3, and Tomar can finally get a break from building his homemade pipe-bombs!
This game is what Europeans think America is like. In the lore of the game JFK survives the assassination which causes him to become a dictator and turn the US into a police state. Why did they have to do JFK so dirty like that 😭
Are there even that many people with severe vitiligo in the world? It's such a bizzarre fixation of modern mainstream pop-culture. It's everywhere, but like why?
I'm fine with it being present just because i always like more options, but I hate the push like it's some massive important feature and without it people won't be able to relate
It's because it's extremely easy to implement in your game as a diversity option. Missing limbs or deformities require a new model but with this they can just make a new texture.
@@HwarmingAs a kid I was jealous that Link was left handed badass. I tried imagining swinging a sword with my left and holding a shield with my right. It sucks that he became right handed in later games due to motion controls.
It’s always vitiligo and like, no other skin condition too. Like I’m glad that the vitiligo havers in the audience can relate to their characters but what about like eczema or something
These types of games are fascinating to me because they get so wrapped up in their activism and political correctness to the point that it somehow wraps all the way back around into being weirdly offensive and stereotypical, a type of game made for literally nobody
Seeing literally anyone with vitiligo is a guaranteed sign that whoever designed the game has no idea how to make a game or interesting characters. It's a default choice for "I want variety and inclusiveness" without realizing how stereotypical it is of anyone with their ideology
@@tek3576 Honestly I think that's a bit harsh. He's been getting better with not interrupting or talking too much about gaming facts. A lot more chill than he used to be.
@@tek3576 Seriously, does he need to be in every series? He's going to talk over the other three so much. Avengers/Forespoken wouldn't have been nearly as fun to listen to with Cory loudly shouting and screaming over everything. I get that him being a tar d can be amusing at times, but when the game's already funny and you have Chris, Zach and Tomar, is it really necessary to have Cory being a sperg?
ironically, cory is so confidently wrong about so many things I'm sure a lot of people will hear that this game was made with taxpayer money and think he's wrong
I'm surprised that nobody's pointed out that bizarre moment in the beginning where you use your mind control powers to force the driver to accelerate, and then two minutes later, in the recap, the game itself tries to gaslight you by claiming that she accelerated on her own. Truly innovative, meta story telling.
I dunno, so far most of the dialogue I’ve heard in this seems like the last thing I would ever hear uttered from a human being. My reactions so far are more “huh?” than “saw it coming a mile away.”
Games like this are made just to prove that it's bare-ass obvious when something is made out of spite and not for the purpose of fun. It sucks that the only way to find enjoyment from this is watching the Oney crew suffer through it.
Oh my god. The first video of 2025, Zach is back, and it's about Dustborn, a hilarious trainwreck that makes Forspoken look good. I can't wait for them to play one episode of this now, one in another three months, and then to release the "complete series" in autumn, along with seventeen compilations like "BEST ZACH IMPRESSIONS FROM DUSTBORN" and "BIGGEST LAUGHS FROM DUSTBORN".
@@SpikesSpikesSpikes writing. Their dialogue has that same cringey "god I wish joss whedon would come into my room at night" kind of talking, and the "heroes" are terrible people that the writers think are great for some reason.
@@329link There's a reason the characters are always just dickheads in those games. The writers wanted edgy antiheroes. But the writers only consume corporate capeshit. So the only way to have an antihero, is just making the characters as annoying as possible.
I think Avengers is an underrated psychological horror masterpiece. It's a game about a group of adults grooming a young mentally disabled girl by pretending she's "joining the superhero group"
i honestly find dustborn more offensive than someone just walking up to me and calling me a slur. it just feels like parody and mockery and some kind of weird propanganda to make gay people look lame and dumb
That’s what all of the forcefully “woke” pieces of media feel like. Instead of writing characters properly and making them diverse in a way that feels real they make whatever this game is
Because it’s not genuine. They’re chasing corporate approved trends and initiatives, trying to look moral and relatable so you spend money on their products. I wish more people could see it for what it is.
@Yea___ idk man as fun as that is to believe I think it just comes down to what it always has: someone out of touch and way older than they want to be trying to relate to a youth that they can't understand let alone depict properly
Can't believe no one realises this isn't the real oney plays cast, Tomar has been ranting about replacing them with AI for months now, I think he was just waiting for an "accident" like the LA fires to make his move
It's absolutely terrifying to imagine how bad the work environment is for the developers if this is what an idealized version of social interaction looks like to them
This is what a bunch of Millenials grew up with, and they've gaslit themselves into believing it's normal. Now wonder they made gaslighting a superpower.
@@Vaguer_Weevil That also happened with the bad borderlands sequel. The only likable character was the robot. I think it’s because the people writing these games are awful at writing humans, so the only characters they can write with some degree of accuracy are non-humans. I like robots so i’m not complaining i guess.
That opening with the bus is the ultimate simulation of what its like to have to deal with or work with these types of people. 10+ minutes of being unable to solve the simplest of problems because they're having panic attacks
It’s almost like disabilities… disable you or something. Don’t kid anyone, you’re making a “the west has fallen” comment on an oneyplays video, we all know you don’t have a job
@@unclebaba3463 I mean they obviously have nothing good to say about the people they supposedly work with every day. Couldn’t you argue that everyone here is reading deep into the game and/or this guy is reading deep into his coworkers behavior for the purpose of concluding something negative about people he doesn’t and probably will never know

I like how no one in game development actually studies how to build and develop a character based on their setting and background anymore, they just think of themselves and their annoying friends and are like "yeah this would totally be us if we were in that situation" SHUT UP, THIS IS WHY I LEFT THE GAME'S INDUSTRY YOU'RE ALL SO ANNOYING
So glad they brought Chris back from the dead to do more let’s plays
His name is Oney's Monster
Thanfully Adam frankensteined his brother Chris from his grave,
Not the first time & certainly wont be the last
Does anyone know why he's six inches tall though?
Remember Tomar can stretch his magnificent neck from one side of the veil to the other and drag back any soul he desires with his mighty chompers
Frey from forspoken might have comp in the "Character I despise so much because they're a complete asshole" contest
Pax vs Frey is legitimately a tough matchup
At keast Frey changes at the end, even if it isnt earned and rushed.
I feel like, without going too much into it, (although i know no one gives a shit about Dustborn spoilers) Pax clears by just a bit.
@@HalfBrainGamers What does Pax do that makes her worse? She didn't seem awful from this video.
@milliondollarmistake
Cons people on a regular basis. (there's a prologue comic that takes place before the start of the game)
Cheats on a guy with Noam. As in actively sleeps with both of them without the other knowing. (again, from prologue comic)
A dick to robots only because she can't manipulate them like she can with humans, she's only okay with one when it develops a sense of self (and can thus be manipulated)
Will almost always use her Vox to manipulate her friends instead of talking to them and communicating normally.
And the biggest one, is she is actually pregnant the entire time and will continue to actively fight cops and put her unborn child in danger. Even when she doesn't need to fight, which is 99% of the time.
These are actions that are taken regardless of "choice" and I think that's why she's worse than Frey. Frey, for all of her faults, at least doesn't try and put anyone's life in danger (aside from condemning a whole city to burn)
It's crazy how Kamala Khan is probably the least torturous character to watch in the "bad movies with bad protagonists" series
did you just... become a bigger asshole than me.... WITH YOUR FREAKING MIND?!?!

Making Zach and Tomar really big on the thumbnail and Cory as a tiny robot that you’ll miss at first glance was 100% intentional lol
They had a crew made up of Francesca Ramsey, Milo Yiannopoulos, the rapey teacher from Life is Strange 1, and the Saint's Row player character.
How could this have been anything other than a success?

Saints Row 2022, Forspoken, and now Dustborn. It’s all coming together beautifully
Forgot about that one Marvel game
@@dg_productionsthe amazing stretchistani
@@dg_productions That Marvel game was so badly written it looped back to amazing. You could easily headcanon it as the Avengers grooming a mentally disabled teenage girl.
And life is strange
Forespoken has worse writing, yet somehow feels like a more genuine expression of art than this game. This game is trash and it's hilarious
Holy shit wait. So their main superpowers are:
- "Making people feel bad" Pax
- "Gaslighting" Noam
- "Becoming rock hard" Golem
The true toxic liberal gooner trifecta
Did you notice that Naom's gaslighting is literally just reassurance
I certainly wasn't expecting Zach on the first episode back but I'm always here for it.
I think might be the first one to quit. But I don’t know
Don’t want him too
They have to have him in one of these cringey badly written video games is tradition they had him in Marvel Avengers, Saints Row reboot, and Forspoken. I'm hoping if they play Dragon Age The Veilguard they also have Zach.
@@curlyhairboiakabaddude8922 there's nothing to quit. Zach doesn't work for oneyplays, his real job is making a television show for Adult Swim. I'm sure he gets paid for the episodes he's in but there's no stakes for him so why quit? He just shows up when he can, he only did like 3 recording sessions last year.
@@GrievousReborn The only person missing here is Lyle. He'd be guessing dialogue like in Forspoken
Hooraaaaay! Chris got done visiting his family, Zach finished working on Smiling Friends S3, and Tomar can finally get a break from building his homemade pipe-bombs!
Oh he's still making them, it's kind of a hobby now. Like knitting, he can just make them passively while chatting in the living room
Oh how cute you think season 3 is done
And cory escaped containment
This game is what Europeans think America is like. In the lore of the game JFK survives the assassination which causes him to become a dictator and turn the US into a police state. Why did they have to do JFK so dirty like that 😭
Whaaaaaat, JFK was like the one guy trying to undo all the federal control…
Wasn't it because Jackie died instead of him? He went full dictator because his wife died? What?

Are there even that many people with severe vitiligo in the world? It's such a bizzarre fixation of modern mainstream pop-culture. It's everywhere, but like why?
I'm fine with it being present just because i always like more options, but I hate the push like it's some massive important feature and without it people won't be able to relate
It's because it's extremely easy to implement in your game as a diversity option. Missing limbs or deformities require a new model but with this they can just make a new texture.
There's more left handed people but I could count the amount of lefties in games with 1 hand
@@HwarmingAs a kid I was jealous that Link was left handed badass. I tried imagining swinging a sword with my left and holding a shield with my right. It sucks that he became right handed in later games due to motion controls.
It’s always vitiligo and like, no other skin condition too. Like I’m glad that the vitiligo havers in the audience can relate to their characters but what about like eczema or something
7:07 Good job editor, I genuinely thought for a second that the game called the main character unlikeable
I seriously hope they make more episodes of this. The audible suffering from the cringe writing brings a big, green, gap-toothed grin to my face
I still can’t believe that not a single person on the team realized that the main characters are unlikable assholes
Characters are only as smart as the author.
I bet people noticed but weren't allowed to speak up without being condemned by the lead dev
I've seen this style of writing a lot in comics and games and I think the intention is the writer thinks it makes the characters cool or interesting.
Probably a ton of people knew this was going to be a train wreck, but they kept silent because they didn't want to get in trouble.
The further you get in the game, the more it seems like a parody of the far left.
Xeir voices are so heckin beautiful and valid

The character descriptions remind me of when you would RP in Roblox and would put your whole personality and backstory above your character

I love when Oneyplays has Zach on to play a lolcow game.
These types of games are fascinating to me because they get so wrapped up in their activism and political correctness to the point that it somehow wraps all the way back around into being weirdly offensive and stereotypical, a type of game made for literally nobody
Even crazier is that it was funded by the government.
Even Hasan made fun of it, everyone could unite over laughing at Dustborn.
despite the commentary quite hard to watch, the bubble the devs had to exist in to make this is unbelievable.
They really believe they are good people. But in reality they belong in jail.
the irony of that statement, in THIS comment section. absolute clown world
@@SpikesSpikesSpikes"da irony!?&!_?" Lol alright man
@@SpikesSpikesSpikesI'm not sure this is the right place for you if such an innocuous statement gets you that upset.
This was thought up in 2016, came out last year at the worst possible time.
Oh hey, it's the game where they rhyme 'newborn' with 'porn'.
What did they mean by this?
The European Anthem
😰
The elites pass infants around like fleshlights.
@@smallestgoober9399 Probably just some French guys sick fetish.
Seeing literally anyone with vitiligo is a guaranteed sign that whoever designed the game has no idea how to make a game or interesting characters. It's a default choice for "I want variety and inclusiveness" without realizing how stereotypical it is of anyone with their ideology
I love Cory because he can't go a minute without going "This reminds me of (existing piece of media)". I hope he gets freed soon.
He's gotten repetitive we need a break from him tbh
ngl thought you were verified
His therapy is working because he said that instead of hmmm this reminds me of porn
@@tek3576 Honestly I think that's a bit harsh. He's been getting better with not interrupting or talking too much about gaming facts. A lot more chill than he used to be.
@@tek3576 Seriously, does he need to be in every series? He's going to talk over the other three so much. Avengers/Forespoken wouldn't have been nearly as fun to listen to with Cory loudly shouting and screaming over everything.
I get that him being a tar d can be amusing at times, but when the game's already funny and you have Chris, Zach and Tomar, is it really necessary to have Cory being a sperg?
Absolutely LOVE Cory knowing all the behind-the-scenes lore of the game!!! He is spot on and adds so much more depth to the cringe.
ironically, cory is so confidently wrong about so many things I'm sure a lot of people will hear that this game was made with taxpayer money and think he's wrong
I'm surprised that nobody's pointed out that bizarre moment in the beginning where you use your mind control powers to force the driver to accelerate, and then two minutes later, in the recap, the game itself tries to gaslight you by claiming that she accelerated on her own. Truly innovative, meta story telling.
chris is the woman driving, tomar is the man with the sunglasses, zach is the white haird albino, and corey is the cranky woman with the hat
or cory is the golem, chris is the albino, tomar is the guy, and zach is the angry woman

Oh boy, I can't wait for this playthrough of Forespoken 2, where you can guess every line of dialog before it's uttered.
so you're saying you can forespeak all the dialog?
I dunno, so far most of the dialogue I’ve heard in this seems like the last thing I would ever hear uttered from a human being. My reactions so far are more “huh?” than “saw it coming a mile away.”
I guess trump's executive order to bring back oneyplays worked.
“It’ll be out when it’s out, and we like that”
This, my friends, is why we vote. Brings a big salty tear to my eye it does
Unfortunately he will be deported back to Ireland after this episode due to the next executive order
Thats why i voted for him
Games like this are made just to prove that it's bare-ass obvious when something is made out of spite and not for the purpose of fun. It sucks that the only way to find enjoyment from this is watching the Oney crew suffer through it.
Oh my god. The first video of 2025, Zach is back, and it's about Dustborn, a hilarious trainwreck that makes Forspoken look good.
I can't wait for them to play one episode of this now, one in another three months, and then to release the "complete series" in autumn, along with seventeen compilations like "BEST ZACH IMPRESSIONS FROM DUSTBORN" and "BIGGEST LAUGHS FROM DUSTBORN".
why even compare the two games? how do they anything in common?
@@SpikesSpikesSpikes writing. Their dialogue has that same cringey "god I wish joss whedon would come into my room at night" kind of talking, and the "heroes" are terrible people that the writers think are great for some reason.
Imagine when they get to Dragon Age Veilguard
@@329link There's a reason the characters are always just dickheads in those games. The writers wanted edgy antiheroes. But the writers only consume corporate capeshit. So the only way to have an antihero, is just making the characters as annoying as possible.
@@329link right, because not agreeing with someones personalty/style makes them a "terrible person"
now it makes sense; they needed a month in the intensive care unit to recover from playing this
"He creates a vacuum with a syringe" got 0 laughs and made me spit my water out
No video for 4 weeks just to return with a Dustborn video is such a Sigma move.
Finally, the fourth installment to the “Cringe Quadrilogy”.
Avengers, Saints Row, Forspoken, and now Dustborn!
I think Avengers is an underrated psychological horror masterpiece.
It's a game about a group of adults grooming a young mentally disabled girl by pretending she's "joining the superhero group"
They’re collecting the cringe infinity stones
i honestly find dustborn more offensive than someone just walking up to me and calling me a slur. it just feels like parody and mockery and some kind of weird propanganda to make gay people look lame and dumb
Controlled opposition. It's a bipartisan effort
That’s what all of the forcefully “woke” pieces of media feel like. Instead of writing characters properly and making them diverse in a way that feels real they make whatever this game is
Because it’s not genuine. They’re chasing corporate approved trends and initiatives, trying to look moral and relatable so you spend money on their products. I wish more people could see it for what it is.
@Yea___ idk man as fun as that is to believe I think it just comes down to what it always has: someone out of touch and way older than they want to be trying to relate to a youth that they can't understand let alone depict properly
Someone else said it looks like a comedy sketch made by a right-wing group.
THE ZACH IS BAAAAACK

Oh, these characters DESERVE the Oneyplays treatment!
This really is Saint's Row all over again, vitiligo and all.
I can't believe this game outlived concord.
I don't like these kinds of games either but it's probably easier to keep a single player game up over one that needs servers, right?
Tomar sounds great after all the things he did with that horse. Worth the $25 I paid for the live stream
I legit thought Chris and the gang died in the fires with how long it took for a new video, except for Tomar of course who started it.
It's like the game equivalent of people who think they're revolutionaries for reading The Hunger Games and Divergent.
23:55 wow, very subtle. Cant you tell that they're living in a dystopia where theyre constantly being monitored?
Can't believe no one realises this isn't the real oney plays cast, Tomar has been ranting about replacing them with AI for months now, I think he was just waiting for an "accident" like the LA fires to make his move
It's absolutely terrifying to imagine how bad the work environment is for the developers if this is what an idealized version of social interaction looks like to them
This is what a bunch of Millenials grew up with, and they've gaslit themselves into believing it's normal. Now wonder they made gaslighting a superpower.
Oh thank god they're not dead. My sense of humor was normalizing at an alarming rate without them
I will forever remain astounded that games like this are allowed to exist. I watched the whole thing, and I already forgot all the characters.
Paint Tool SAI, PAX West, Guy, and British. Pretty sure.
I only remember the robot's name, ironically has more character than all of them combined
@@Vaguer_Weevil That also happened with the bad borderlands sequel. The only likable character was the robot.
I think it’s because the people writing these games are awful at writing humans, so the only characters they can write with some degree of accuracy are non-humans. I like robots so i’m not complaining i guess.
That opening with the bus is the ultimate simulation of what its like to have to deal with or work with these types of people. 10+ minutes of being unable to solve the simplest of problems because they're having panic attacks
It’s almost like disabilities… disable you or something. Don’t kid anyone, you’re making a “the west has fallen” comment on an oneyplays video, we all know you don’t have a job
