Why doesn't Arnold just let Denny take the controller for newer games? Then Mr. Video Game Boy doesn't have to "suffer" through these "boring" controls and, instead of asking Arnold's opinion, Denny gets to experience how fun the game is to play himself.
dan doesnt like to play games if he could help it, he just likes to sit there and then collect his paycheck at the end of the month. he only plays the games that he used to play back in his days.
When Dan asked if the game was fun at 2:06 and Arin just gives him some bull answer, I could just hear the frustration in Dan's voice as he just wanted a simple answer to the friggin question. Especially considering I think Dan likes this game so far.
I love listening to Arin as he implies the enemies are easy when: 1: This is the tutorial 2: He’s died multiple times And 3: He doesn’t understand the controls
Robert J. W. Well there isn’t much honesty in omitting your opinion. Dan asked what Arin thinks and Arin essentially said “I don’t wanna say what I think”
If Dan was playing, at least it'd be something nice for a change. With Arin, it's button-mash, blame the game, button-mash, ignore lore, button-mash, proceed to never finish the series.
Yeah, Arin just seems to just fire through the game blindly without much context into what he is doing. Which is what the best friends play call “playtime funnies” without much of the funny.
The spidey sense is kind of weird to get used to at first. It's the first something like 20 minutes of the game folks. The combat is pretty rough starting out and gets way better as the game goes on

i've got adhd and play video games the exact way arin does. miss things that are right in front of me, forget to dodge and countless other shit. really stings watching the comments tear him apart all the time
@@gracekeddy and @bethmoth yo I'm sorry for talking shit about ADHD. I hope it gets better for you guys. I didn't mean it personally, it just gets frustrating when Arin's being passive aggressive and complaining about about things unfairly. I'm sorry for offending you guys and I'll definitely think twice before jumping to conclusions.
Give Arin a break, I know he isn't really being fair but he's just expressing his disinterest and contempt for this game because his parents were murdered by a spider
Jarl Balgruuf not only that but it also is a reference to Spiderman kissing Mary Jane upside down. They mentioned it in the last episode briefly. From what I’ve heard this game is full of quips that harken back to previous versions of Spiderman
I know this is a 3 year old comment but this moment reminded me of GG’s Ocarina of Time playthrough where Arin says he needs to avoid the giant blade in the Shadow Temple and Link immediately gets it right through his head
why does Arin even bring up the difficulty of the game when: 1.) It's just the tutorial 2.) He didn't even choose the highest difficulty setting, which can be changed any time and affects the tutorial 3.) He has already died from goofing off, so he knows he'll be punished if he doesn't try at all 4.) He usually avoids really challenging games because he commentates at the same time, so he should appreciate the nice balance. Sorry, it's just little things like that get to me sometimes. The sooner they end this the better. Hopefully Dan will get to experience the rest of the game via a grumps stream or something.
I actually found the game pretty tough at times on the highest difficulty. It's usually because i try to get some throws or the like in between attacks since that's generally how i play. But yeah if you tend to be good at games with "Freeflow combat" then i'd recommend playing it on hard/spectacular. Also i am looking towards to NewGame+ for an even harder challenge.
Finally someone brings the dificulty! At this point Arin needs a slap to understand basic logic. Because he's really being an idiot having clearly and solid arguments that he's wrong...
Fun fact: bazookas actually don’t have any kickback because they are rocket propelled instead of combustion propelled like a normal gun The more you know
Its a recoilless system. It has nothing to do with it being a rocket. Recoilless rifles use powder propellent and doesn't recoil bc the force is the same out the front and back so no recoil. The more you know correctly. Sorry couldn't resist.
Arin do you just want games to destroy you in the first level without ever giving you a chance to get used to the controls or the gameplay? "Oh these guys are so easy" Yeah it's called linear progression.
I don't think he's really complaining, he's just saying that they're easy, which they are. You guys just have to take every word that comes out of his mouth as a personal slight against the game for some reason.
I don't even understand what Arin's criticism is here. "wow, I'm pushing buttons!" Yeah, Arin... that's usually how you control games. The only other option is motion controls, sooooooo... what do you want here? The icing on the cake is that he likes Bloodborne, and the controls aren't significantly different in that (especially the way he plays) you mostly just dodge and hit people with your weapon, except in this game the attacks are more flashy and, imo, more entertaining.
I am starting to agree with people, he's being overly cynical about the game, to a degree. But as someone who has played spiderman, imo it's kind of.. meh. You mainly mash two buttons to win and the enemies are never a real threat. It's just not my kind of game, but it obviously isn't Arin's either and he probably shouldn't play it.
Complains about it being just button mashing, but he doesn’t even use any of the other mechanics LIKE IDK DODGING. Anyway at this point it’s just clear confirmation bias, he just wants to look down on tripleA games. To each their own.
Adam F yeah, he pretty much does this with every game. It’s one of the things that has soured me to game grumps. Danny’s usually very interested and asking questions about the game which could lead to very interesting topics of conversation but Arin just usually dismisses the question and acts like every game he plays is trash. I wish Danny would play the games himself instead. Even if he did suck at them he’d at least show some fair judgement and interesting reactions to the game. The worst part is that the judgement that Arin passes is usually a) unsubstantiated and just predetermined to whatever he wants his opinion to be and b) he sucks because he ignores everything the game explains and then complains that the game didn’t explain anything. I get that everyone always points these two things out but it’s seriously just getting annoying at this point.
Everybody’s talking about the general low quality of this playthrough so far, but I’m just still in awe that Spider-Man’s kiss joke lined up perfectly with the ones the grumps made.
I'm a long time fan of this channel and I still think there's genuinely a lot more good than there is bad... But when series like these happen it really feels like Arin being either super judgmental or super apathetic is holding this channel back. For people blindly defending it with, "He's just joking do you guys not understand jokes?", you should be able to tell by now that the jokes are just him being passive aggressive toward a game he has little tolerance for. This isn't game of the year or anything, but the combat system is something that a lot of people are excited about, and Arin is missing out on some key features because he just keeps hitting Square over and over again and then complaining that he couldn't dodge or do anything else. That makes it all the more frustrating that he keeps passively throwing shade at the combat system saying the tutorial enemies are too simple to beat and all you have to do is press Square. I like that the Grumps are good sports about it and have embraced the "Game Grumps always ignore the tutorial" meme, but it isn't funny in these cases. It's funny when they forget or ignore stuff and then mess up, which is understandable because they're focusing on giving commentary at the same time. But it's just not funny watching Arin diss on a game for lacking features that are presented to him intuitively and clearly, or for complaining that a game is too easy and then dying over and over again. Seriously, the tutorial is pretty concise and it isn't "down your throat" at all. The game teaches the player controls through slow-motion prompts and then lets go of your hand so you can apply them yourself. It's not the MOST innovative thing, but for a game with a control scheme like this it's very to-the-point, giving you all the basics and teaching you new skills as they apply. This is the kind of thing Arin LOVES in other games, but when it's presented to him through the lens of a game he already dislikes, nothing can ever change his mind. I'm not gonna say Sonic and the Secret Rings is a great game either, but even in that series Arin shits on random elements of the game that can be found in lots of games he likes. As other have said, even putting Arin's judgments and biases aside, listening to this just isn't funny. The spider jokes and were entertaining and Dan's quips about Parker being cocky and dying uneventfully were hilarious... but the smirky "I'll let YOU be the judge" when Dan asks if the game is fun and the constant satirical farting just throw a cloud of awkward bitterness over the whole video. No one wants to see that. It's funny watching someone get upset over a game they don't like for good reason, but listening to so much forced negativity and passive aggressiveness is just a huge downer. I'm not a particular fan of Spider-man games or Insomniac games, but I can at least see the enjoyable qualities about this game without walking around with a cloud over my head. I love Arin, and I think Dan does a great job playing the devil's advocate in this series, but I agree with others who have said this already: please don't play a game if you're just going to be super negative about it. We love seeing you guys have fun with games, but it really just puts a damper on things to watch someone rush through a game having no fun. And FYI it's okay to voice an opinion about something. If you're going to reply to this being a fanboy and trying to erase any type of critical commentary about this channel, please don't. It's okay to be critical of things. It's okay to dislike aspects of something you otherwise love. It's okay to not like the direction a channel is going in. Please don't just jump to the rescue when other people have opinions.
Spider-Man-Man is a fat, hairy dude who got spider powers from being bitten by a radioactive Spider-Man. He just wears jeans and a Spider-Man t-shirt, with a trucker hat and a neckbeard.
I like how people keep saying arin should "let" danny play this game, or all new games. Like arin is forcefully hogging the controller and refusing to let danny touch it. Hasn't dan explicitly said he preferred to watch and comment?
Agreed. But the games Danny plays are sometimes so much better from a comedic standpoint partly because we’re not frustrated at Arin trying and failing. See the ALTTP set played by Dan vs the other Zelda sets where Arin plays. It’s a different thing altogether.
It’s not that Arin plays poorly that upsets most people, it’s that Arin is a hypocrite about it. He will complain about objectives being forcibly shoved in your face but also complains when it only tells you once and he doesn’t know what to do because he ignored it. I’ve said this once I’ll say it with every new game they do. why even start a series if Arin hates it? This isn’t as bad as like Detroit become human but it just comes off as them “attempting to get views” rather than playing the game because they enjoy it. Arin can be critical without being a dick. Just because he’s worried about the episode not being funny, doesn’t mean he should interrupt the tutorial with fart jokes if he’s just going to be upset with the control scheme for the next 10 episodes. The best game grumps episode where this format fits is like deadly premonition where we all agree the game is shit and they can just laugh at it.
The_Echo maybe then he might soak in the atmosphere instead of searching for stuff to knit-pick like it’s ok for him to have criticism just as long as he isn’t intentionally looking for stuff to criticize cause when he starts doing that it’s almost like a more realistic version of the mickey mousecapades “shitty poop reviewer”
This series feels like a bigger cash grab than the mobile game sponsored episodes. This could have been entertaining if arin just admitted to either hating it or not caring just look at zelda for example he hates them but they are super entertaining because he is genuine.
I feel like you dont understand that this is more of a business than it is just a place two guys can play video games so they need to make money to fund theirs and others projects and its kind of selfish to say that you deserve detroit when other people gain from the shows success with more popular shows
+Lorenzo Norbis It's a business, but their business is to be entertaining. If its clearly a business decision and the entertainment suffers than it isn't a good business decision.
I love ya A-dawg, but god damn if you aren't pissing me off right now. Every time you guys play a game that has some sort of plot before getting into the meat of the game you just yell over any sort of explanation it tries to give, refuse to use any of the mechanics that it gives and then complain about the lack of explanation and mechanics 15 minutes later. Maybe it'd be better for Danny to be the video game boy for a while. Maybe you need a break.
Honestly dude if that's what you care about then go watch a speed run or some actual gameplay. This is a comedy channel. Untense yourself and care a little less maybe.
Why is that always the response when people have complaints about how Arin plays games? Why can he bitch and complain, but when we do it then it's OUR problem and WE should go somewhere else. Maybe he should put on his A game when he hits record. Maybe he should have learned to both focus on gameplay and making wise cracks since it's his job, and he's been doing it for five years now. Is half a decade not long enough to hone your craft?
Prime92 - Where exactly in this play through is arin bitching and complaining?? I'm sure he doesn't care much for this game, so what. I watch game grumps for dan and arin's friendship. The game is just a medium for conversation and laughs, it's a good thing they don't take the games seriously, that might be kinda boring.
@@ryanmckenzie1990 then why does the vídeo Focus On the Game and not in the. It could be like a camera recording them While in a little box in the corner the Game is playing out since the Game isnt the focus why not do that oh wait that IS critisism and change that's not Who the Gamegrumps are they are repetitive and uninspired yeah its fun to watch but after a While It gets old so a change like that would refresh even a little bit the formula since mostly what people complain about IS the Game why not Focus On the part that people LOVE the grumps
Arin didn't even finish the tutorial of God Of War, so not super optimistic. Its more fun when he plays bad games anyway, Arin shitting on a good game is just obnoxious. And there's so many terrible games they still haven't played, fuckin sent them Starfox Adventures forever ago...
because he isnt very good at most games he is slightly below average but he is funny so he knows putting together things people like video games and jokes he can make a living off it
From the moment they started talking about kissing in the last episode, I was waiting for that line at the end of this one. It blew their tiny little minds, I love it.
lol i love how Dan is getting better at playing games and noticing stuff like Fisk will counter after the 4th hit. And Arin is the same old Arin trying to make Dan laugh and not really paying attention to the game.
Meanwhile, he beat the second act of the Fisk fight without dying, something that most LPers have died on. But yeah, keep bitching about how much he sucks, we all really care about that
Arin hates AAA games that aren't Japanese, he didn't like god of war and you can tell he was holding back some negative comments when Danny asked how the game played.
2:05 dan "is it as much fun as it looks?" stunned silence, arin "ill let you be the judge" doesn't pass controler. arin grow up and either let dan play or stop playing it, you did this crap with skyward sword and look where those episodes are. GONE!
i liked to watch GG play skyward sword, but i agree with Arin that game was not fun for me either, i just wish he would try to have fun playing the game instead of just giving up on the whole idea at the start.
You misinterpreted what Arin said. He wasn't offering to let Dan play. He was just commenting on how he thinks how shallow the gameplay is. Watching this game could feel like the same experience as playing it.
Y'know, I was giving people crap for complaining so much in the last video but, hearing Dan ask if it's as much fun as it looks and Arin responding how he did, I understand where people were coming from now. That was a real douche move from a "professional let's player"
As if that means anything. As a gameGRUMPS fan I love to see Arin complain. its who he is lol and Dan's lighthearted nature is what makes the moment when HE shows his inner grump all the more special.
@@connors2388 I like when he complains for real, I don't like when he plays up the role of grump. This isn't a tv show, I just want them to be themselves, like he's not being in this playthrough.
>"Dan's lighthearted nature is what makes the moment when HE shows his inner grump all the more special." How fucked do you have to be to see a guy get pissed off and call it special
For a channel that chooses to discontinue playthroughs based on views, Arin still hasn't figured out that people don't want their daily 15min of GG to be wasted on dicking around the environment. Dan seems to get it though.
Love the way that Arin is prematurely judging a game's complexity on the tutorial mission that's only outlining the most basic aspects of the gameplay His relentless apathy and the ridiculous 'you press buttons' criticism is ruining this for a lot of GG and spiderman fans. You could take that attitude with any game.
it's almost as if the obvious discrepancy between the amount of time hes played the game for combined with the "harshness" of his "criticisms" are supposed to tip you off to the fact that he's being facetious and doesn't expect idiots to take him at his word when it clearly doesn't mean anything to begin with. like wow maybe when you don't purposefully interpret things people say to not make sense and instead use context clues to understand basic shit you won't hate yourself anymore fuckin insane, huh?
I don’t even care what Arin thinks of the game, he’s just not funny this session. Dan is bouncing and having fun but Arin is just so out of it and clearly not trying to have fun with either Dan or the game. He’s not as nitpicky as he was the first episode but this is still turning out to be one the most disinteresting series I’ve ever seen.
Man I HATE dark souls. It’s just timed button mashing. Like when enemies attack and you have to press O to dodge. Or you have to press square to attack. And how different button combinations preform slightly different attack’s. Oh wait
If you were funny like Arin was I would be perfectly happy with you making that uninformed criticism. Unfortunately you're not funny, you're just trying to make a shitty point while missing the actual point entirely.
@@yeahohright3097 I'm pretty sure the "actual point" is that op is using Arin's exact same criticism for a different video game that Arin actually likes, showing that him complaining about an action game controlling like most action games do is kinda silly.
1:11 Actually RPGs are recoilless weapons. 5:31 He's enhanced through engineering and training. He's basically a sumo level strength with a bullet proof suit. It's somewhat inconsistent based on which comic you're reading whether it's considered 'super strength' levels or just peak physical conditioning. Either way Spider-Man is stronger than King Pin physically.
I like that Arin can commit to his "its boring I just mash the same button" joke while learning all the buttons needed to do different things... and even noting "oh holding triangle throws them, just pressing teleports me" he is truly a master of his craft.
While Game Grumps are genuinely entertaining, Arin's "all triple A games suck" attitude is kind of annoying, just play the game for longer than the tutorial and then shit on it or love it, it's just the decent thing to do.
So if Arin really doesn’t like a game and holds in his opinions does the “humor” just turn into fart noises? Because the kind of humor in this series has been approaching that. Edit: I wish he would just dump all over the game if he really wants to - what I’m saying is that by not being honest about it that it is affecting how funny (or not funny) the episodes are.
Aw, man. Well, since you asked politely... *throws the dust cloth back over the guillotine and pats it fondly* Don't worry, Mr. Choppy. We'll find you a job, soon.
Wow. Never seen someone die twice in the Fisk battle, once because they just stood there. It's almost as if they never wanted to play this game in the first place.
Hello and welcome to the Final Episode. It's been a long journey and we've all come very far... well some came farther than others... Anyway I'm really gonna miss Saul Spiderman
i could hear them look at each other with joy and excitement when spider-man said should we kiss now that was so nice
Hayden Amero The perfect conclusion!
After all that "Spider-kiss" nonsense in the last video, the comedic timing of the "So, shall we kiss now?" at the end is just the absolute best.
Makes it funnier after the toxic part of the youtube comment children had the biggest bitch fit about it.
I must say that hearing their reaction at the end of it made up for how annoying they did it last episode.
Haha, it was so perfect, they almost *have* to make it the early finale.

Man, Arin must be super skilled at this game to be doing a no-dodge playthrough on Game Grumps.
No dodge, only kiss.
He's actually doing so much better than everyone else i've watched playing this, I'm kind of amazed. He's a savant sometimes.
When there's no block, the only thing he can forget to use is is dodge

DAN CONGRATS ON THE CONAN PERFORMANCE IT WAS GREAT

IXRollOutIX Oh hello didn’t expect to see you here!
Because Danny hates to play games.
He just likes to watch you guys, this is The Room after all
It's like Arin is actively *trying* to not have fun. Dan wants to say positive things, and is just immediately shot down.
dan doesnt like to play games if he could help it, he just likes to sit there and then collect his paycheck at the end of the month.
he only plays the games that he used to play back in his days.

Dan likes literally every game.
And if Arin said the truth, there'd be more hate in the comment section than there already is.
I actually would've been less annoyed if he went "Nah, this kinda game isn't something I care about".
Beat em up games are lame as fuck is what Erin probably wanted to say cause it's true lol. The swinging around is dope to me though.
I would really take watching an interested person suck at a game more than watch an uninterested person be below average at it.
He obviously didn't want to say he dislikes the game
I love listening to Arin as he implies the enemies are easy when:
1: This is the tutorial
2: He’s died multiple times
And 3: He doesn’t understand the controls
Dan: "Is it as fun as it looks?"
Arin: *trying not to explode with cynicism* "I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE!"
Kingpin: "All these years, and you STILL haven't learned!"
This means they probably won’t finish it.
At least he was honest yet didn't really shit on the game. Would you rather him lie?
Robert J. W. Well there isn’t much honesty in omitting your opinion. Dan asked what Arin thinks and Arin essentially said “I don’t wanna say what I think”
Well... did he say that he's already played it? Cause he hasn't actually played enough of the game to have a valid opinion of it yet.

Arin went through Dark Souls mashing r1 with a Darksword and summoning players or npcs for bosses......he rarely roll even then.

precisely, its like he expects every game to be difficult like megaman or a Souls game

I don't think he's really complaining, he's just saying that they're easy, which they are. You guys just have to take every word that comes out of his mouth as a personal slight against the game for some reason.
"You still haven't learned" It's like he's talking directly to Arin
I don't even understand what Arin's criticism is here. "wow, I'm pushing buttons!" Yeah, Arin... that's usually how you control games. The only other option is motion controls, sooooooo... what do you want here? The icing on the cake is that he likes Bloodborne, and the controls aren't significantly different in that (especially the way he plays) you mostly just dodge and hit people with your weapon, except in this game the attacks are more flashy and, imo, more entertaining.
It just proves the game is so good not even Arin can find a legit reason to hate on it... lol
I am starting to agree with people, he's being overly cynical about the game, to a degree. But as someone who has played spiderman, imo it's kind of.. meh. You mainly mash two buttons to win and the enemies are never a real threat. It's just not my kind of game, but it obviously isn't Arin's either and he probably shouldn't play it.
Josh Woerdeman
He may not have said that as a criticism, you interpreted it that way
He never said he doesnt enjoy the game
A lot of people hat quick time events. Arin is just one of them
The fact that Arin refused to answer Dan's question about having fun tells me Arin made up his mind about this game before he even started playing it.
Complains about it being just button mashing, but he doesn’t even use any of the other mechanics LIKE IDK DODGING. Anyway at this point it’s just clear confirmation bias, he just wants to look down on tripleA games. To each their own.
Arin doesn’t enjoy playing video games, he just gets a rush out of being upset. He doesn’t enjoy being happy.
Adam F yeah, he pretty much does this with every game. It’s one of the things that has soured me to game grumps. Danny’s usually very interested and asking questions about the game which could lead to very interesting topics of conversation but Arin just usually dismisses the question and acts like every game he plays is trash.
I wish Danny would play the games himself instead. Even if he did suck at them he’d at least show some fair judgement and interesting reactions to the game. The worst part is that the judgement that Arin passes is usually a) unsubstantiated and just predetermined to whatever he wants his opinion to be and b) he sucks because he ignores everything the game explains and then complains that the game didn’t explain anything. I get that everyone always points these two things out but it’s seriously just getting annoying at this point.
He's just a *_grump._*
@@dannr9701 to be fair, the fighting system is as shallow as a puddle during a drought.
I hope you can take pictures with bosses in this game. It'll be the final battle with Windwaker Ganondorf all over again...
Yes,you can :)
Or botw molduga
You can but I don't think Arin will be able to figure out where the photo mode is
That would imply they even get to the final boss battle
Yep. It's actually easier to take selfies since you have to be paused to do it.
Everybody’s talking about the general low quality of this playthrough so far, but I’m just still in awe that Spider-Man’s kiss joke lined up perfectly with the ones the grumps made.
I'm a long time fan of this channel and I still think there's genuinely a lot more good than there is bad...
But when series like these happen it really feels like Arin being either super judgmental or super apathetic is holding this channel back. For people blindly defending it with, "He's just joking do you guys not understand jokes?", you should be able to tell by now that the jokes are just him being passive aggressive toward a game he has little tolerance for.
This isn't game of the year or anything, but the combat system is something that a lot of people are excited about, and Arin is missing out on some key features because he just keeps hitting Square over and over again and then complaining that he couldn't dodge or do anything else.
That makes it all the more frustrating that he keeps passively throwing shade at the combat system saying the tutorial enemies are too simple to beat and all you have to do is press Square.
I like that the Grumps are good sports about it and have embraced the "Game Grumps always ignore the tutorial" meme, but it isn't funny in these cases. It's funny when they forget or ignore stuff and then mess up, which is understandable because they're focusing on giving commentary at the same time. But it's just not funny watching Arin diss on a game for lacking features that are presented to him intuitively and clearly, or for complaining that a game is too easy and then dying over and over again.
Seriously, the tutorial is pretty concise and it isn't "down your throat" at all. The game teaches the player controls through slow-motion prompts and then lets go of your hand so you can apply them yourself. It's not the MOST innovative thing, but for a game with a control scheme like this it's very to-the-point, giving you all the basics and teaching you new skills as they apply. This is the kind of thing Arin LOVES in other games, but when it's presented to him through the lens of a game he already dislikes, nothing can ever change his mind. I'm not gonna say Sonic and the Secret Rings is a great game either, but even in that series Arin shits on random elements of the game that can be found in lots of games he likes.
As other have said, even putting Arin's judgments and biases aside, listening to this just isn't funny. The spider jokes and were entertaining and Dan's quips about Parker being cocky and dying uneventfully were hilarious... but the smirky "I'll let YOU be the judge" when Dan asks if the game is fun and the constant satirical farting just throw a cloud of awkward bitterness over the whole video. No one wants to see that. It's funny watching someone get upset over a game they don't like for good reason, but listening to so much forced negativity and passive aggressiveness is just a huge downer. I'm not a particular fan of Spider-man games or Insomniac games, but I can at least see the enjoyable qualities about this game without walking around with a cloud over my head. I love Arin, and I think Dan does a great job playing the devil's advocate in this series, but I agree with others who have said this already: please don't play a game if you're just going to be super negative about it. We love seeing you guys have fun with games, but it really just puts a damper on things to watch someone rush through a game having no fun.
And FYI it's okay to voice an opinion about something. If you're going to reply to this being a fanboy and trying to erase any type of critical commentary about this channel, please don't. It's okay to be critical of things. It's okay to dislike aspects of something you otherwise love. It's okay to not like the direction a channel is going in. Please don't just jump to the rescue when other people have opinions.
“Don’t shoot me! I’m a spider.. man.. man”
I wanna see that animated.
Like he starts as a spider, turns into spider-man, than idk, More man
Spider-Man-Man is a fat, hairy dude who got spider powers from being bitten by a radioactive Spider-Man. He just wears jeans and a Spider-Man t-shirt, with a trucker hat and a neckbeard.
This series is so infuriating and entertaining at the same time
To bad there's only 2 episodes left.
Derek Furniss, your description also accurately described their Dark Souls 3 playthrough
I'm going:''AHaHaHHaAhAHa he's gonna die here again AhAHAHAa.''
I think I finally snapped
And their attempt at Dark Souls Remastered... and their attempt at God of War... and their attempt at Detroit: Become Human.

OOOOOWWWUH!
Captain Falcon kissed before it was cool.
"Falcon Punch!"
"Falcon Kick!"
"Falcon Kiss..."
I love how you can tell that they looked at each other in excitement at the end
I like how people keep saying arin should "let" danny play this game, or all new games.
Like arin is forcefully hogging the controller and refusing to let danny touch it.
Hasn't dan explicitly said he preferred to watch and comment?
Dude... Some people are new. Just assume they don't know.
yeah, if Danny said he wanted to play Arin would let him prob
Agreed. But the games Danny plays are sometimes so much better from a comedic standpoint partly because we’re not frustrated at Arin trying and failing. See the ALTTP set played by Dan vs the other Zelda sets where Arin plays. It’s a different thing altogether.
“Let” is used very loosely dude.
Yeah except that Game Grumps is a business and they're making a decision that *abjectly affects the business*
That ending was perfect. ❤️
The irony in Arin mocking the controls yet sucking at them haha
When did he mock the controls?
DId he mock the controls?
The controls can be a bit unorthodox even for people who play these sort of games. I had an issue with the dodge button being circle.
he keeps hinting at it just being a button mashing game, where you only need to spam square, did you not watch the videoes guys?
Mark Venuto
"I hold R2 to swing...like every other spider-man game!"
"I guess I'll keep mashing square!"
It’s not that Arin plays poorly that upsets most people, it’s that Arin is a hypocrite about it. He will complain about objectives being forcibly shoved in your face but also complains when it only tells you once and he doesn’t know what to do because he ignored it. I’ve said this once I’ll say it with every new game they do. why even start a series if Arin hates it? This isn’t as bad as like Detroit become human but it just comes off as them “attempting to get views” rather than playing the game because they enjoy it. Arin can be critical without being a dick. Just because he’s worried about the episode not being funny, doesn’t mean he should interrupt the tutorial with fart jokes if he’s just going to be upset with the control scheme for the next 10 episodes. The best game grumps episode where this format fits is like deadly premonition where we all agree the game is shit and they can just laugh at it.
Better question: Why does Arin play games he doesn't want to play? There are two hosts on this show.
The_Echo maybe then he might soak in the atmosphere instead of searching for stuff to knit-pick like it’s ok for him to have criticism just as long as he isn’t intentionally looking for stuff to criticize cause when he starts doing that it’s almost like a more realistic version of the mickey mousecapades “shitty poop reviewer”
This series feels like a bigger cash grab than the mobile game sponsored episodes.
This could have been entertaining if arin just admitted to either hating it or not caring just look at zelda for example he hates them but they are super entertaining because he is genuine.
I feel like you dont understand that this is more of a business than it is just a place two guys can play video games so they need to make money to fund theirs and others projects and its kind of selfish to say that you deserve detroit when other people gain from the shows success with more popular shows
+Lorenzo Norbis It's a business, but their business is to be entertaining. If its clearly a business decision and the entertainment suffers than it isn't a good business decision.
I love ya A-dawg, but god damn if you aren't pissing me off right now. Every time you guys play a game that has some sort of plot before getting into the meat of the game you just yell over any sort of explanation it tries to give, refuse to use any of the mechanics that it gives and then complain about the lack of explanation and mechanics 15 minutes later. Maybe it'd be better for Danny to be the video game boy for a while. Maybe you need a break.
Honestly dude if that's what you care about then go watch a speed run or some actual gameplay. This is a comedy channel. Untense yourself and care a little less maybe.
Why is that always the response when people have complaints about how Arin plays games? Why can he bitch and complain, but when we do it then it's OUR problem and WE should go somewhere else. Maybe he should put on his A game when he hits record. Maybe he should have learned to both focus on gameplay and making wise cracks since it's his job, and he's been doing it for five years now. Is half a decade not long enough to hone your craft?
Prime92 - Where exactly in this play through is arin bitching and complaining?? I'm sure he doesn't care much for this game, so what. I watch game grumps for dan and arin's friendship. The game is just a medium for conversation and laughs, it's a good thing they don't take the games seriously, that might be kinda boring.
BigHailFan Coming up with a legitimate counter argument is hard for them.
@@ryanmckenzie1990 then why does the vídeo Focus On the Game and not in the. It could be like a camera recording them While in a little box in the corner the Game is playing out since the Game isnt the focus why not do that oh wait that IS critisism and change that's not Who the Gamegrumps are they are repetitive and uninspired yeah its fun to watch but after a While It gets old so a change like that would refresh even a little bit the formula since mostly what people complain about IS the Game why not Focus On the part that people LOVE the grumps
8:45 Arin jumping out of the way making kingpin run into that cube structure is the most Looney Tunes shit of this episode😂
I hope they continue this series and Arin learns to enjoy it. It's a fairly good game.
D.C. Christian fairly good game, yes. Everything else...not gonna happen
His passive aggressive mood is really getting in the way of my enjoyment
Arin "Devil's Advocate" Hanson
Arin didn't even finish the tutorial of God Of War, so not super optimistic. Its more fun when he plays bad games anyway, Arin shitting on a good game is just obnoxious. And there's so many terrible games they still haven't played, fuckin sent them Starfox Adventures forever ago...
I actually think them not finishing God Of War was more because of Dan, Arin seemed into it. He's being a real assclown here though.
11:56 this is what you came here for
Damn what a pay off right?
For an episode long joke? Actually yes.
Makes me happy all that kissing build up lead up to this moment, I could spider kiss you! 🕷💋
*to
Why does Arin always complain about the controls in these games when the controls in all the games he "loves" are jump and mashing the shoot button?
because double standard
Becase the second controls get mote complex than 4 buttons and maybe an analouge stick arin gets confused.
because he isnt very good at most games he is slightly below average but he is funny so he knows putting together things people like video games and jokes he can make a living off it
can you guys stop the bitching? he hardly said anything about controls at all
That’s how Nintendo fans are.
IS THAT MY BOY BEN TENNYSON?!?!
The guy that plays Peter Parker in this game also voiced Ben Tennyson in Ben 10 Omniverse...
I love Ben 10...
He also plays Sasuke in Naruto and Mercury in RWBY. But, yeah, Ben was my favorite character he played too.
Oh shit they have the same voice.
The more you know
Dude Insomiac Ben 10 game when?
You can Switch between the 10 on the fly depending on the enemies, i need this now!
From the moment they started talking about kissing in the last episode, I was waiting for that line at the end of this one. It blew their tiny little minds, I love it.
Wow..that kiss ending is some level 12 mind fuckery at its best.
4:44
Arin: "I could look at his shiny body all da-"
Dan: "did you see that...?"
Arin: "what"?
lol i love how Dan is getting better at playing games and noticing stuff like Fisk will counter after the 4th hit. And Arin is the same old Arin trying to make Dan laugh and not really paying attention to the game.
he does that shit on purpose he knows he'll get a reaction from the viewers
Meanwhile, he beat the second act of the Fisk fight without dying, something that most LPers have died on. But yeah, keep bitching about how much he sucks, we all really care about that
Dan doesn't play games.
Their gasps at 11:53 was the BEST. They're the perfect duo for this game.
The sound of just pure happiness from Dan and Arin at the end when Spider-Man made the joke about the kiss is the best thing ever
THE KISSING DON’T STOP
Arin hates AAA games that aren't Japanese, he didn't like god of war and you can tell he was holding back some negative comments when Danny asked how the game played.
Because Arin sucks at both. Japanese games just don't make him look as bad, so of course he gives it more credibility.
2:05 dan "is it as much fun as it looks?" stunned silence, arin "ill let you be the judge" doesn't pass controler. arin grow up and either let dan play or stop playing it, you did this crap with skyward sword and look where those episodes are. GONE!
i liked to watch GG play skyward sword, but i agree with Arin that game was not fun for me either, i just wish he would try to have fun playing the game instead of just giving up on the whole idea at the start.
To be fair, Skyward Sword IS pretty trash tbh. But this game's a masterpiece and he's just dragging it through the dirt like it's the same game.
You misinterpreted what Arin said. He wasn't offering to let Dan play. He was just commenting on how he thinks how shallow the gameplay is. Watching this game could feel like the same experience as playing it.
meh I liked his Skyward Sword lets play it was funny
corey swain -
your right its a better experience.
The comedic timing of Spidey's last quip of the episode was perfect.
Thanks for the episode, Grumps!
No dialogue could be so perfectly synced to a gameplay bit as this. This is a historical moment
You know, watching Arin play video games really just sorta invalidates anything hes ever said in Sequelitis...
Y'know, I was giving people crap for complaining so much in the last video but, hearing Dan ask if it's as much fun as it looks and Arin responding how he did, I understand where people were coming from now. That was a real douche move from a "professional let's player"
As if that means anything. As a gameGRUMPS fan I love to see Arin complain. its who he is lol and Dan's lighthearted nature is what makes the moment when HE shows his inner grump all the more special.
@Connor Smutny Yeah, deep down complaining and finding faults with things is what Arin loves. It's why he and Suzy work so well together.
@@connors2388 I like when he complains for real, I don't like when he plays up the role of grump. This isn't a tv show, I just want them to be themselves, like he's not being in this playthrough.
@@connors2388 the passive aggressive barely complaining isn't arin, it's what arin thinks people wanna see
>"Dan's lighthearted nature is what makes the moment when HE shows his inner grump all the more special."
How fucked do you have to be to see a guy get pissed off and call it special
I usually like how arin is bad at games for comedy, but this may be the most angry I’ve been at arin in a long time
The part where Arin reacts to spider man’s death has my face LITERALLY turn into the crying laughing emoji 😂
For a channel that chooses to discontinue playthroughs based on views, Arin still hasn't figured out that people don't want their daily 15min of GG to be wasted on dicking around the environment. Dan seems to get it though.
Love the way that Arin is prematurely judging a game's complexity on the tutorial mission that's only outlining the most basic aspects of the gameplay
His relentless apathy and the ridiculous 'you press buttons' criticism is ruining this for a lot of GG and spiderman fans. You could take that attitude with any game.
it's almost as if the obvious discrepancy between the amount of time hes played the game for combined with the "harshness" of his "criticisms" are supposed to tip you off to the fact that he's being facetious and doesn't expect idiots to take him at his word when it clearly doesn't mean anything to begin with. like wow maybe when you don't purposefully interpret things people say to not make sense and instead use context clues to understand basic shit you won't hate yourself anymore
fuckin insane, huh?
La Potato damn imagine being this salty
And three years later how do you feel?
I don’t even care what Arin thinks of the game, he’s just not funny this session.
Dan is bouncing and having fun but Arin is just so out of it and clearly not trying to have fun with either Dan or the game.
He’s not as nitpicky as he was the first episode but this is still turning out to be one the most disinteresting series I’ve ever seen.
Man I HATE dark souls. It’s just timed button mashing. Like when enemies attack and you have to press O to dodge. Or you have to press square to attack. And how different button combinations preform slightly different attack’s.
Oh wait
If you were funny like Arin was I would be perfectly happy with you making that uninformed criticism. Unfortunately you're not funny, you're just trying to make a shitty point while missing the actual point entirely.
@@yeahohright3097 I'm pretty sure the "actual point" is that op is using Arin's exact same criticism for a different video game that Arin actually likes, showing that him complaining about an action game controlling like most action games do is kinda silly.
@@yeahohright3097 You stupid son of a bitch.
The attack button is r1 and r2
@_ scüp I think we're all here for Dan at this point
7:38
Spider-Man: (dies in a weird position)
Arin: I couldn't even see what was... (laughs hysterically)
Dan: (laughs as well)
The audible joy in those gasps about the spider kiss question made my day🤣
11:53 *_Kissy Spider-Man_* is now officially canon.
I don't care how they play the game,
But Arin's passive aggressivness and poor attitude is extremely annoying
Annoying enough for you to unsub or even quit watching for any significant amount of time?
If not, it's not annoying.
Eleizson you really dont understand anything going on here do you
Eleizson and under what grounds do you get to determine what's annoying for someone else, I swear people on youtube think they know everything
So did you unsub yet?
Eleizson so legitimate argument, exactly what I expected
"Hey should we kiss now?"
**GASP**
1:11 Actually RPGs are recoilless weapons.
5:31 He's enhanced through engineering and training. He's basically a sumo level strength with a bullet proof suit. It's somewhat inconsistent based on which comic you're reading whether it's considered 'super strength' levels or just peak physical conditioning. Either way Spider-Man is stronger than King Pin physically.
I like that Arin can commit to his "its boring I just mash the same button" joke while learning all the buttons needed to do different things... and even noting "oh holding triangle throws them, just pressing teleports me" he is truly a master of his craft.
While Game Grumps are genuinely entertaining, Arin's "all triple A games suck" attitude is kind of annoying, just play the game for longer than the tutorial and then shit on it or love it, it's just the decent thing to do.
It's a fucking game, what has he hurt it's feelings?
@@yoshiguy123 you’re so cool replying to a 2 year old comment😐
@@yoshiguy123 It’s a comment, what has he hurt it’s feelings?
So if Arin really doesn’t like a game and holds in his opinions does the “humor” just turn into fart noises? Because the kind of humor in this series has been approaching that. Edit: I wish he would just dump all over the game if he really wants to - what I’m saying is that by not being honest about it that it is affecting how funny (or not funny) the episodes are.
"What's wrong Willy? You seem angry?!" x'D Damn, you gotta love this dude x'D
And it all comes full Circle!
"So, should we kiss now?"
i love it lol
I was WAINTING for them earing spider-man say "do we kiss now?" Omg 😂😂
I'm the video game boy, I'm the one who blames the game for when i'm not good at it
I'm joking, please don't behead me
Aw, man. Well, since you asked politely...
*throws the dust cloth back over the guillotine and pats it fondly*
Don't worry, Mr. Choppy. We'll find you a job, soon.
Sack fu Wow *drops battle axe* This was my one job and you just took it away from me...
Okay, but you're not joking. What you said is an accurate assessment and you're pussing out by hiding behind 'I'm joking!'.
Eleizson If they said it was a joke, it's a joke. Leave it be, and lets keep this comment string lighthearted.
Almost all of the most liked comments on this video are people bashing arin, so I don't think you have to worry much about backlash
Wow. Never seen someone die twice in the Fisk battle, once because they just stood there. It's almost as if they never wanted to play this game in the first place.
Hello and welcome to the Final Episode. It's been a long journey and we've all come very far... well some came farther than others... Anyway I'm really gonna miss Saul Spiderman
I was laughing the whole time with the "spider kiss" joke started because I remembered Spider-Man saying it at the end of the first mission 😂😂
Dan: Too bad for that poor desk!
Me: Too bad it wasn't made of Mohogany
And that ending is why Spiderman is the funniest super hero. He saw that joke coming from day one.
That ending. You get a like GG. I've played the game, but I completely forgot about that XD
umm actually anti tank weapons hardly recoil more than a 30 caliber rifle it's the back blast that can kill you if you're too close behind the shooter
Just stands there and gets shot by turrets. "Omfg MOVE!"😂
lol that ending couldn't been more PERFECT.
