I don't know how to impress upon these lads in a fashion that is both appropriately polite and urgent that proximity is ABSOLUTELY good streaming content. It is 0% more effort for 100% more jokes. If what it takes is choosing a single bro to be POV and sticking to him, do it without question
there is a non-mod in game mode in the settings called "arachnophobia" that replaces the bodies of the spider models with the word "spider" and it's pretty funny
I hope we see more Lethal Company however y’all can do it, proximity chat is a big part of this game but honestly I had a ton of fun watching y’all talk to each other as you were getting into shenanigans as well.
Every team of streamers on the planet: "Proximity chat makes this game" Griffin: "We don't use proximity chat because it's bad for streaming" SAY WHAAAA??
I'm excited for more lethal company vids, proximity chat or no. I do think it would be really good as long as you can switch perspectives and have the audio switch as well. Hoping for more of these regardless!
Had to hold back my laughter during their jumps across the ledges with Griffin going "Da da da dum dum da da da da da dum dum" as my partner was asleep next to me
I think I might be alone in this, but I hope they don't download too many mods. The mods are funny and totally fine, but I like how the game actually has an interesting, spooky environment. The mods just make it silly and imo they detract from what I found cool about the game.
you definitely aren't alone in that. mods are great for people who have played a lot and want to change it up but the core game is still solid for those who haven't.
Yeah, Lethal Company works primarily because of its blend of horror and slapstick comedy. If you undercut the tension and uncertainty, the comedic release isn't nearly as strong. Playing without proximity chat is like skipping half of the set-up while telling a joke in order to get to the punchline quicker because the punchline is the part people laugh at. Not knowing whether you're the last one alive makes coming back at the end of your shift to find silence except for the sound of bees feel ominous. Then, you round the corner and see a beehive in the center of the ship near a pile of corpses and learn what happened to your dumbass friends. Meanwhile, they get to experience the dramatic irony of knowing what happened and watching from your perspective as you cautiously approach the ship and call out to see if anyone is still alive, slowly piecing together the environmental storytelling before finally sighing and mumbling "goddammit" to yourself and trying to figure out how you're going to get out of the mess they made. Finally, the round ends and they all come back to life wheezing and you laugh at each other's folly as they recount how it all went down from their POV. Bypassing the voice chat also just plain breaks several important game mechanics. You no longer need to waste an inventory slot on a walkie-talkie. There's no reason to buy a signal transmitter or a loud horn. You don't need to put down a two-handed piece of scrap or switch away from your weapon to talk to the person in the ship. You don't need to sacrifice the ability to communicate to avoid being detected by sound-sensitive enemies.
How would that even work as a group all streaming on the same screen. It works in streams for single streamers but the audience needs to be able to hear all three brothers, I guess unless they only showed one at a time but i don’t think that’s as good content
@@caden7991yeah, that's what confuses me about people complaining about them not using proximity chat. in order to make that work, they would have to fundamentally change the entire format of the stream. just let them have fun, yall. if you prefer how other people play lethal company, watch them instead
@@arkertak7667 Or we can give feedback on what might improve the experience of the stream, and they are free to take the advice or not, and we are free to continue watching even if it's not ideal, or not.
There are few things in this world that give me more aural joy than Travis's lisp. I've listened back to him saying "Did you eat the bread?" about forty times now. So fucking adorable. Such good fuzzies. 🥰
look lads, playing this game without proximity chat is like playing among us while looking at everyone's screens still fun-ish to watch but it sorta inherently kills the fun of playing I'm sure
now hear me out. all 3 brothers are streaming separately, and you can cycle through each one manually as though you're in game spectating (like when you die you can cycle through players that are still alive). it would take some technical wizardry but good god. as someone with 70 hours in this game i would pay like 10$ for one session of this@@everxalicex
So happy to see you guys giving this game a shot, it's a blast! And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I do hope that you consider streaming this again with the proximity chat on. Some of the hardest I've ever laughed at a game has been because of it. You could absolutely keep the mic and cameras on for the viewers! But half of the fun of the game comes from when you *can't* hear your coworkers - is it because they're far away? Or because they're gone ;)
Lmao yeah, the fuckin audacity of people asking them to change the entire format of their stream to very slightly improve the experience of one single game, when this is something casual that they're streaming for us during what precious little free time they have, is absolutely bonkers to me.
@@keppakappa5033the only way i can think of for it to not be complete garbage is if they set it up so we are only seeing and hearing the camera from whoever the POV is currently. and i dont want that, i like watching all of them at once. its fun to see what theyre all doing and how they react. also, for them the stream seems to be mostly about hanging out together. the game is just what they do while theyre chatting together. using proximity chat would mean reducing their ability to socialize to focus on the game. personally i like it better this way. i dont care that much about watching gameplay, i like watching them fuck around together.
really, everyone is just complaining that theyre playing the game wrong... at what point in the gaming career of the mcelroys did you get the impression that you were here to watch them play video games the correct way
Proximity Chat is the reason this game is good. Please use proximity chat, it's a core mechanic. Don't mod it, unless you need Clint to be your fourth.
Woah...Justin looks so different with a hat. Maybe I'm just tired but I fully was like 'oh who's this new guy he looks cool' until he started talking lol
I’ve never played this game or seen it played except by the bros so I’m just enjoying the vibes and silly fun. 😊 I don’t really understand getting frustrated/angry when others want to do things differently or play a game “wrong”. I mean, you can let people do their own thing and have fun or you can insist on following norms so much that everyone gets bummed out. Y’know.
very few sliders and without mods there’s very little character customization - like 6 faces per fantasy race and you can’t change the features they have. makes for bad/boring monster factory vibes 🤷♀️
Instead of the Pov text in the bottom left could we get an outlined border around the webcam of whoever's POV it is. Would make it a bit easier to tell as I look over at their faces and don't look at the blank area on the bottom left.
I mean, from the perspective of someone who actually wants to hear the boys talk and make out what they have to say, rather than have it be a garbled mess while they try to understand what the others were saying.... yeah, gotta agree with my bud Griffin on this one lmao. I came for the boys, not to hear some muffled yelling.
I.. do not understand the objective of this game at all lmao. it took me about 5 streams of fortnite to fully understand that one so maybe I'll get there eventually
I think you should all have two mics, be on game chat, AND on stream chat together, WITH one headphone ear Game chat and one headphone ear Stream chat. Thats the only conceivable option and I have no idea how it would work. It would potentially be 2% more entertaining if you all had two mics, and two sets of headphones on your heads. also, Justin, please get clear frames so we can see your beautiful face do jokes better more. Thanks.
I hit the like button because I love you boys, but I do not enjoy watching this game. Thanks for all the great content and I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Hard agree
i'd like to see proximity chat for them but audio of all 3 for us
The clown horn had me crying laughing
The joy on Griffin’s face! 😂
It’s that sheer little brother energy which is wonderful!!!
there is a non-mod in game mode in the settings called "arachnophobia" that replaces the bodies of the spider models with the word "spider" and it's pretty funny
omg griffin gaslighting them with the horn at the end *chef kiss*
I was so incredibly happy when Griffin started singing Justin's verse of the ice cream song
I hope we see more Lethal Company however y’all can do it, proximity chat is a big part of this game but honestly I had a ton of fun watching y’all talk to each other as you were getting into shenanigans as well.
The boys playing lethal company? He heard my wish!

No better outro than Justin jamming with the boombox while Griffin and Travis fight to the death in the background
Every team of streamers on the planet: "Proximity chat makes this game"
Griffin: "We don't use proximity chat because it's bad for streaming"
SAY WHAAAA??
I'm excited for more lethal company vids, proximity chat or no. I do think it would be really good as long as you can switch perspectives and have the audio switch as well. Hoping for more of these regardless!
Yall play this whichever way gets you to keep playing it.
You are missing out on the enemies affected by the proximity voice, though.
Kinda? They all respond to noise and you make a ton while moving. The biggest thing they're missing out on is not knowing if someone died or not.
Really good clown monster bit griffin
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh....these boys will be the greatest assets to the company
I am appreciative of another episode of Justin and the Guys.
Had to hold back my laughter during their jumps across the ledges with Griffin going "Da da da dum dum da da da da da dum dum" as my partner was asleep next to me
I think it would be funny to have cameras on but proximity chat also on, so they can see each other but not hear each other unless nearby. 😂
obsessed with this, The ClownMan made my day. i'd love to see more lethal company streams!!
I think I might be alone in this, but I hope they don't download too many mods. The mods are funny and totally fine, but I like how the game actually has an interesting, spooky environment. The mods just make it silly and imo they detract from what I found cool about the game.
you definitely aren't alone in that. mods are great for people who have played a lot and want to change it up but the core game is still solid for those who haven't.
the most important mod is the one that replaces the loot bug noises with the yippee sound clip
with or without proximity chat im loving these streams!! cant wait to see more!
The ending had me in tears.
I love Victory McElroyale so much!
I can say for an incontrovertible fact that it's actually *much better* streaming content to have proximity chat on, just ask Jacob Drawfee.
Yeah not knowing the fate of your coworkers is huge. Markiplier's series does this too.

GUYS WE LOVE THIS PLEASE DO MORE.
I woke my kids up cackling, when griffin said “ do you hear that horn”
look lads, playing this game without proximity chat is like playing among us while looking at everyone's screens
still fun-ish to watch but it sorta inherently kills the fun of playing I'm sure
You absolutely have to have proximity chat on for this game

Proximity chat is more fun but if turning it off means you’ll do this again and is more fun for you then I’m here for it
Noooo I can't believe Justin launched the ship on their best run yet! Heartbreaking hahaha.
This just proves Justin was right about how effective jelly is as a deterrent. 😆🤣
Please do proximity chat its still good for stream
I'd definitely love to see more of this but you've gotta figure out proximity chat. Proximity chat basically IS the game
Am I damaged? I think I might be damaged?

I wish they used proximity chat. Just mute your call in zoom/discord/whatever and use the game audio from whoever is streaming
oh no, the proximity chat is like 30+% of the fun of this game. Please use it!!!
a lot of people seem to forget their primary job is not streaming. theyre playing video games on youtube in their free time between podcasting.
Lmao yeah, the fuckin audacity of people asking them to change the entire format of their stream to very slightly improve the experience of one single game, when this is something casual that they're streaming for us during what precious little free time they have, is absolutely bonkers to me.

They can finally afford to each own their own copy of the videogame and now have to share.
shift starts 2:58
Prox chat for this game only makes it funnier, especially for streams like this! Trust us
omfg the clown horn bit killed me ded. i'm still laugh-crying over it 😂😂😂
boys i love the lethal company videos so much, PLEASE play the new silly Content Warning game. It has to be way less stressful 🙏
I want griffin to get them the “yippee” mod
Never seen this with proximity chat and I like this a lot 😊
When will the boys play Deep Rock Galactic? If there's one thing these boys love, it's getting rock and stoned!
I’ve never played this game or seen it played except by the bros so I’m just enjoying the vibes and silly fun. 😊
I don’t really understand getting frustrated/angry when others want to do things differently or play a game “wrong”. I mean, you can let people do their own thing and have fun or you can insist on following norms so much that everyone gets bummed out. Y’know.

Begging you boys to play phasmophobia
please don't do the mods, everyone is playing this modded and it's so hard to find just a vanilla stream
Our prayers have been answered 😂
Now this is what I've been waitin for
Love that Grif tried to kick up the 4d3d3d3
Would love to see more of this!!!
Love all the videos brothers thanks so much
Does anyone have a timestamp for the creamy dreamy treat throwback?
36:11 👍
I'm surprised there hasn't been a BG3 monster factory yet
very few sliders and without mods there’s very little character customization - like 6 faces per fantasy race and you can’t change the features they have. makes for bad/boring monster factory vibes 🤷♀️
I said it before I'll say it again
I'd love to see mac play this with you bros
Instead of the Pov text in the bottom left could we get an outlined border around the webcam of whoever's POV it is. Would make it a bit easier to tell as I look over at their faces and don't look at the blank area on the bottom left.
Proximity chat would be absolute video editing hell, I imagine
Feels like it's missing the point without proximity chat
edit: can't believe griffin said it doesn't make for good streaming lmao

@@keppakappa5033They should probably play a game that's not entirely about limited communication then
You're right. I don't know. Maybe I'm just disappointed. @@everxalicex
Yeeesssss so happy to get another Lethal Company stream
I.. do not understand the objective of this game at all lmao. it took me about 5 streams of fortnite to fully understand that one so maybe I'll get there eventually

Did you guyd hear it?
DAMN i missed stream by two hours :(
absolutely wept at 39:25
The fact that griffin didnt break out into an ice cream song is abhorrent
Begging you guys to install the loot bug Yippee mod for this
the only mod you need
The near constant “you idiot!” at the beginning from Travis was a bit much.
Theyre brothers 😂
Thats pretty tame in terms of siblings
PLEASE PLAY SCP
Not to be a hater but Crash is not super interesting to me, this is cool!
Haven’t finished the vid yet, but stop playing this game without proximity Chat. It’s too boring
Y’all the proximity chat is why the game is fun to watch, I want to enjoy you guys playing the game but I don’t even want to watch :(
oh hell yeah
