When you don't have an attachment to the games he makes fun of they're pretty much always funny.

I like the teases for his Knack 2 video
You'd be bamboozled to play against certain stick only users that can casually wreck stuff, some people can be very good when they're using what they're comfortable with, even if the setup is very odd like legacy southpaw inverted controls

He basically saying the game sounds bad on paper, but for w/e reason he cant stop playing it. I dont see anything wrong with that lol.

Overwatch has in-game voice and text chat, so it's easier to grief
Dunkey does griefing from time to time, so it'd make sense he likes Overwatch more than Splatoon 2

Posts like this are garbage. People point out legit errors in his arguments and you gloss over it as being fanboyism or typical GAF behavior

Nah it's pretty true, it's just a group mentality. ProZD has a funny video about "But I don't like the thing...I DONT LIKE THE THING WHY DO YOU LIKE IT" that does a good shitposting summation of the mentality.
I agree with some of the stuff he says honestly, the aiming doesn't feel good with just the analog sticks. Haven't had a chance to try gyro controls because my roommate owns the game and so far we've just spent like 4 nights playing for a few hours passing the controller back and forth. If he was such a wishy washy person when it came to changing even the smallest thing on something that's his for even 5 minutes I would have tried it by now.
But otherwise the video was pretty lackluster overall. To anyone saying he isn't funny anymore though ??? his PUBG video right before the Splatoon vid was one of the funniest one's he's made in a while, in my opinion.

He's saying the shooting is inaccurate when it's not.

Scores don't matter so long as the reasoning is shit.
Nah. Gotta disagree. Aiming is pretty janky bruh. I aint that bad either. I consistently place the top of every game I play. Guns aren't very accurate either. That last bit is on purpose of course.

I'm with Dunkey on this one, though if I'm being honest, I'd call any non-mouse shooter inaccurate, so I'm pretty biased.
>>Preferences are a thing
>>All shooters aren't the same
>>Both games offer completely different things
I don't even like his recent video, but this is a messed up take

The thing unique to dunkey is you can never 100% tell if he is joking or being serious

Splatoon 2 is a great game from the demo.
But I cannot commit or buy online-centric console games.
Anyway this thread is the usual eceleb-gratifies-my-opinion shit you always see like a bunch of people lacking spine to stand up on their own opinion, it's always worse when video games are involved.

I don't know. I'd agree if this was a few years ago but I feel his recent review/rants have been doublin' down on his legit views on a thing. Which I wouldn't much of a problem if the views had some meat to it or if the jokes hit harder.
At least the grief and compilations videos still make me laugh.
Well, I mean, he wasn't "fair" to The Last Guardian as well (i.e. he made things look worse than they are), but at least that video had its funny moments. This was... eh.
"This isn't dumb fun. [...] Is it funny? Kinda." "Multiplayer doesn't have what the singleplayer has [shows rails which definitely are in multiplayer]"
And yeah, maybe you shouldn't brag how good you are when you're really not.

I feel like dunkey's usual tone rarely if ever works if he wants to actually do a more serious review or video in general because when it comes down to it, he can't articulate for shit
The ending bit of this video is really about all the funny bits because its him not giving a clumsy review about a game he feels mostly mixed about

The ending was fun tho.
Yep. Super frustrating that this review of Splatoon will undoubtedly influence peoples' decisions to purchase based on his ability to meme around and say things funny. I dunno, I just want these bigger YouTubers to realize that they've got some responsibility to represent a game as best they can and if their representation is sub-par, to just not.

Ignore him. He was in the Splatoon 2 OT claiming that Chargers are useless despite 6 different users telling him otherwise. He doesn't listen to reason.
I'll instead "git gud" at a proper control method, thanks.

Man no they don't. They don't have a responsibility to the game at all because they did not make it and they're not being paid to Market it.
If people want to take donkeys opinion seriously on this game that's their prerogative. You can argue he is being disingenuous about the game but I think that as a primarily pc gamer it's not surprising at all that he would have complaints about the way Splatoon handles. Totally fair to say that's being unfair of him but it doesn't mean he owes anyone anything.

I'm not sure I could possibly disagree more. They're only responsibility is to be entertaining to their audience.
Controls change over time. Twin sticks wasn't always the way to play shooters on a console and there's no reason to believe it's some kind of unshakable monolith

This is such a weird take. You want people to just make every product look as good as possible regardless of their actual opinion?

He's been veering into reviewing games and less funny videos feels like.
I don't go to dunks for reviews.

What does that matter? So, you don't like one shooter, you can't like any?
That would be motion controls, far more accurate than shitty analog sticks.

People get so weird about control inputs.

This video also just comes across as intensely hypocritical after his weird "video game journalists suck" video. He's basically treating Splatoon 2 the way that Gamespot reviewer treated Crash. Dude doesn't have to like Splatoon 2, totally fair play if he doesn't like it. But when you try to say anything is outright bad and you want to make a serious review of it (which is quite clearly his intent in this video, and has been his intent with reviews and commentary for a while now - we're long past the days of "you can't tell if Dunkey is joking or not", honestly), you have to step up with legitimate criticisms that hold up under scrutiny. It's very clear he doesn't understand the game, the footage alone is evidence - under 300 points 2 minutes into a turf war, you have to do practically nothing to get that. I regularly see young kids who don't understand the game who nevertheless outscore him. Plus, lol rollers being unable to get kills. It's totally fine if he doesn't understand the game and doesn't like it enough to want to learn it, but per his own logic, don't act like you're some authority on a game if you're unwilling to give it a chance.
I'm just most baffled by the idea that the aiming is bad somehow. It's... console shooter aiming. With the sticks it's typical aiming if you've ever played a console shooter. With the gyro it's about as good as keyboard and mouse if you find a sensitivity that works for you. He just says it's bad and leaves it at that, what makes it worse than other games? I play Overwatch and Titanfall 2 on console and aiming feels the same when I use sticks, he really just kind of invented an arbitrary nonsense criticism to crap on a game, which again is the exact kind of thing he was railing against game reviewers doing.

Look at Super Bunnyhop. He openly acknowledges in his latest negative review that he doesn't enjoy tearing a game down. I'd like to believe that content-creators reviewing anything can and should understand that development is not easy and that a negative take on a game can have a lasting negative impact. In other words, you better be darn sure to not be disingenuous, especially to a large audience that very actively idolizes you and your humor. I really don't think that's too much to ask.
Fair enough if you believe that. I think content-creation today is much more complex a thing than just providing entertainment. Maybe there should be at least a level of acknowledgement that a few good laughs for an audience could mean misrepresenting a game?
Absolutely not what I said. I'd think it would be obvious that a fair review would actually consider all parts of a game. And not, here, on making jokes in the place of an actual evaluation. If I thought his points were well-articulated or if his audience weren't in the millions I wouldn't have said a thing.
