Let's Play EarthBound

[Peter]

Your LP is good and all, with the mandatory jap remarks and codex style bitching, but I don't know, you don't seem to enjoy it.

Maybe you thought it would be an rpg or jrpg , but it's not really. It's a unique game full of offbeat humor and surrealistic moments that looks like it's for children , but it's not. It's like Alice in wonderland.

I get what you're saying, and I do appreciate the game for its humor and style, and I agree about it being kinda like Alice. I also realize that the Mother games are probably the best JRPGs out there (I chose to do an LP of Earthbound because it wouldn't be unbearable, like, say, FF or Chrono Trigger or something). However, the gameplay is still pretty terrible imo, and the style of the game can't really make up for that.

I hope any of that made sense and wasn't too hypocritical.

Your LP work is good, but the game is probably going to drag a bit. It was something I enjoyed when I was much younger but I agree that it doesn't hold up to what I look for in RPGs now.

Regardless, here's hoping you continue as it is very well done and still entertaining to read.

Chrono Trigger, unbearable?

I'm in your topic, laughing at your fail.
