I've never understood people who don't get that you can like something and still be critical of it. I'm not expecting the grumps to play every game perfectly, and I don't mind the conversation trailing away from the game when there's not much going on on screen. That said, sometimes they fail to pick up on things the games blatantly explain, and even criticize the games for non-existent problems because of that. When that happens, the videos tend to get less entertaining because of it.
It's a weird trend I've noticed with a lot of internet entertainers, where they'll have a few fans who get really hostile really quickly if you ever dare say a single negative thing, even if you're being mostly positive. It's really strange.

Yeah seriously. I grump about some of the videos, but on the whole I still find the show very entertaining. MegaMan X and Gradius have been great pretty much 100% of the time.

Same here. Chulip has been completely hilarious so far, too! I'm loving it.

That's not what's happening though?
It is, though?
There are people in this thread, and especially in the comments on their videos, who do exactly that, who seem to take constructive criticism as a horrible insult.
Well I'm certainly not speaking for anyone who posts youtube comments. I was referring to this thread. I don't think that one guy on the last page should be an example of all the people in the thread not being critical.

It's certainly much worse elsewhere than it is here, and I don't mean to make an example of any one person here. It's just a strange trend I've noticed.

I guess I gotta be the guy to say it, if you're watching this show for anything other than watching two guys play games and bullshit whilst playing aforementioned games, you should probably find something else to watch.
Personally I agree with Arin especially on the whole telling off the audience about the whole, "PLAY THE GAMES BETTER GUYS!" thing. If you want to watch someone execute the perfect run on a game you like, cool there are like a bajillion of those videos out there. If you want to watch a video of someone giving straight up and rational critique of the game, there's avenues for that as well. If you're like me and just want to watch a couple of guys who are for the most part funny derp their way around games you may or may not be familiar with, this is really your only avenue.
I also kind of like their insistence on skipping cutscenes. I picked up Bayonetta after watching their videos on it and appreciated the fact that the content was fresh. Also, the game is pretty fucking tough and does a really poor job of explaining how you're supposed to achieve some of the things it wants you to do. Still a lot of fun, but I would have to say there are sections of the game I find un-intuitive. Like why is it sometimes I can't use Witch Time to save my life? Why am I sometimes unable to Dodge Offset? Why is it I'm fighting against the camera wanting to pan ALL THE TIME! But when those things aren't happening, fun game.
I think what you're saying gets to the three reasons I stopped watching:
1) They are not funny.
2) They don't understand games.
3) They are really fucking stupid.
It blows my mind that you and four people who agree with you are still lurking about in this thread. Go find something valuable to do with your time.

Yeah?
Why would you post in a thread about a show you hate, just to tell people you hate it? It's not constructive.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
We were this close to actually hearing what Barry sounds like. I guess this confirms that he's not just sat there glued to his recording equipment 100% of the time, I've often wondered what exactly it is he's doing in there. I didn't expect the answer to be "pooping". Also, Chulip is absolutely perfect for the Grumps format. Doesn't take that much attention and there's no time constraints so if they want to just go off on a tangent they can. Also its weird as hell, so they have plenty of opportunities to do so.
Yeah they have been off on huge tangents every time that scene came up. There is even a clip of that scene as a cold open to a different episode and they're still talking about something completely unrelated.

Oh God, A Dog's Life. Eeeeuuuuugh.
I'm with Jon on that game, there is something seriously weird about the way those dogs' faces look.
There's also a GBA version but I don't think it has multiplayer. The GBA one is mostly a puzzle game where you figure out how to get all the mice in the rocket without cats interfering. It's still pretty good.

It does have multiplayer, single-pak multiplayer, in fact. (I.E. Where one person with the game can download it to other GBAs)
Wow that Chu Chu Rocket game looks ridiculous. I wonder if it's on Steam...
...Dreamcast? Wtf? Oh shit and mobile!?
It's from 2000...long before Steam was even a thing.
I mean Soul Reaver, Deus Ex, Sega Classics, etc...
I was just curious if they remade it and put it on there or not, because I think it would sell pretty well if it's as cult classic as people say it is.

Right but Soul Reaver and Deus Ex both had PC versions at their original release...and I don't see Sega digging up 13-year old Dreamcast games (especially games that didn't sell particularly well in the first place, IIRC) to make PC ports randomly.
Because someone will point it out, yes, I'm aware of the Dreamcast collection. Of the four games in that collection only Space Channel 5 Part 2 was newly ported to the PC...PC versions of the other games have existed for years now.

The game being super bizarre is perfect, it forces them to pay attention to it.
I've also been enjoying the chronicle of absolute despair that is Pocky and Rocky.
That's not what's happening though?
