Game Grumps - BEST OF SONIC FRONTIERS

[@jukeboxjimmy8722]

I love the fact you can see dan just slowly fall in love with the game. To the point he even kinda tells arin to ease up on the jokes by the end cuz he's just genuinely invested in the story.

[@MegaZeta]

They thought the game was decent, not great, but the Internet has real problems with opinions between total hate and total love. Dan was very generous to this game to try to calm people down.

@@MegaZeta”Dan was very generous to this game to try and calm people down” wow, I sure am glad that you specifically know why he was being nice about the game, despite him never saying that’s why he was doing it. Definitely couldn’t just be because he started to feel invested, impossible.
