MAX REACTS: The Year Dreams Came True (FFVIIR & Smash) - Decade In Review 2015

[@53Spawn]

Max worrying about people liking him playing games solo me: Let me tell you people why his RE2 playthrough with Loen Kentucky is one of the funniest things ever

[@lorddracula306]

Okay but......have you saved Wanda yet? I need you in 11 !!!!

[@53Spawn]

@@lorddracula306 I have to keep a watchful eye over her and her family. Until then, you need to be patient. I also need to make sure those NRS guys don't cripple my moves. I want to be good and not just eyecandy

[@patricknguyen7530]

RIP Super Best Friends, you defeated the Mutilator but you couldn’t save the Best Friends in the end, Max

[@oradrive745]

They need to delete the old save and start over

[@Zeithri]

Who the f- cares about 'Super best friends'? IT's literary a dime-a-dozen channel about a couple of dudes playing games and making stupid jokes.

[@MetalSonicMkIV]

@@Zeithri You clearly didn't understand what the Hypelords did. They were like Max; they made fighting games fun.

[@JustARTificial]

I stopped watching them when Pat became overbearing. He kept moaning that games didn't have tank controls, moaning about mechanics of the game when he clearly didn't understand them and was actually pretty crap at games. Don't get me wrong I loved their early stuff but it went downhill soon as they did the Dark Souls playtrhough.

[@holitinne]

What happened to the group?

[@Djnvhellyeah]

That Smash Cloud reaction is the purest hype reaction in all of KZbin.

[@darrellgardner4561]

Thats kind of how i feel about max in general. His friends are always so over hyped, Simmons seems ok, but others are kind of annoying. They play it up soo much.

[@zero213kt]

Also the completionist's reaction was similar to that

[@CI254]

He set the standard for separating the phony fake reactions and the genuine ones. If you didn't flip your shit at the opening jingle, you were a big fat phony.

[@CameronKujo]

Denis N. Valle Almost Etika levels of hype

[@Fleetw00d]

Second most imo. The GameTrailers/Easy Allies boys losing their mind to FF7 and Shenmue 3 was beauty.

[@okapi_q]

The Cloud in Smash reaction is still one of my favorite videos on KZbin. That face Max makes when he recognizes the music is gold.

[@kalamander8563]

[@xDaTrooper70x]

Aww the Best Friends. They were the reason I got into Max’s videos back in 2014. In 2015 I fell in love with Max’s content. One of my favorite youtubers

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

They also introduced me to Max's stuff. The first lp I saw on there was the Silent Hill 3 lp. Searched that game up after I saw some clips and fell in love with their vids after that.

[@mitchnin10dofan]

Max’s Cloud reaction will never get old!

[@SneaksBL]

The Bob Ross Max was classic. Would love a new one for 2020

[@53Spawn]

The eyebrow raise slayed me

[@BusterSwordUser]

The FFVII Remake reaction was how I found the channel, and I've been here since.

[@chrisbroad2689]

Buster Sword User Same, exactly the same, I had just played FF7 back in 7th grade and the psx trailer entered my feed informing me the remake came out. I found max through his reactions and Stayed for an amazing man and group of friends

"We can smile again." *_CLINK_* Man, I laughed so hard at that. But seriously, the ending of that Boss Rage was pure beauty. It STILL gives me feels.

[@DiggyDougSauce94]

The funniest part of the Jason Livestream was them dropping a combo and the entire chat going "THAT'S FUCKING STEVE IN THE MASK" just because of his skills lmao.

[@nateg452]

@@SkywardSpork Jesus they've been working on that for 7 years? I'm glad they've been taking their time It's obviously going to pay off but wow, I don't know of any other game other than one stuck in developmental hell that had that long of a development time.

[@Whatahorriblenighttohaveacurse]

I remember after that FF7R stuff first happened, and Cloud started appearing everywhere especially Smash I kept saying "Its because of that goddamn button!"

[@BlackHood_1]

2015 is when i subscribed to the channel

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

"I'm digging this moment. It's making me tear up." My good man, your hype for the Remake makes ME tear up and I've never even played the original FF7. Suffice to say, I can see why the dev team has taken inspiration from your hype. I have done the same. WHenever somehting FF7 related in any capacity comes out or gets announced or whatever, my first thought is ALWAYS "Holy hell, Max is gonna love this!" Thing just makes me hella emotional. I seriously cannot wait for the 3rd of March. I seriously cannot. My body is not ready. We may die once we have it in our hands-all of us- but this is somehting I am willing to accept. So. Much. Hype.

[@TheComicRelief9001]

I feel like I would not be as hype for FF7R if not for following Max's reactions to it

[@marcushamner5994]

Super Best Friends is missed heavliy! I l love True Love We Making! Best song in Capcom vs SNK 2!

[@urbncampr]

I am not gonna lie I was first introduced to your channel by the soda videos as a recommended video after I watched a video from a channel that was talking about soda flavors. But I obviously stayed for your amazing self and the whole YoVIdeoGames crew. This was the year I started watching you all and have never looked back, thanks for all the awesome content over the years.

[@ridlo6437]

At last, the year I eventually joined the Doodbrodia family. Still think the Shao Khan Boss Rage is one of my favorite videos on youtube, and this is the year I learned and loved almost all the fighting games that have been staples of this channel. Thank you Max, very cool.

[@KageShinnosuke]

That legendary boss rage.

[@weacro]

The FFVII remake video was one of your best. It got a emotional response.

[@rosenrot234]

My fav moment with the soda videos is when Simmons is just letting out one very long scream

2015 is the year I started watching you, so I was smiling through most of this. Here’s to 10 more years.

[@MrBISHOP826]

These strolls down memory lane are getting me all sentimental thinking of how much we’ve all grown alongside your channel Max. I was 17 when I started watching and I’m 27 now. This channel influenced me in a lot of ways, but the biggest was giving me some clue of what I wanted to do in life. Finally finished my media production undergrad back in May. Im motivated to build the fuuuuuck out of my portfolio this year.

[@Ormsen]

Maaaaan, I tear up every effing time with the remake anouncement, and right after laugh my ass of with the sodas. It is a great way to realize how much emotion these guys show and how relatable they are. I´m in for the long haul doods, and just wish the best in life for you all!!

[@GrahamChapman]

@@foolishcious1807 Dat's a lotta replays. xD Not that I blame you; Bloodborne is still, imo, the best FromSoft game out there. It definitely should've won GoTY 2015 as far as I'm concerned... Elden Ring looks very interesting though, it may even rival BB once it hits the shelves... but only a Bloodborne sequel will ever truly satisfy me... just gotta keep pestering Sony about it I guess... (I'm actually of the opinion that Bloodborne was so perfect that it doesn't need a sequel, but I wouldn't refuse one if it appeared, you know.) No kidding. FF7R, Nioh 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Persona 5 Royal, Half Life: Alyx, RE3R, Trials of Mana... and a little later on in the year we'll get goodies like TLoU2, Luigi's Mansion 3, Little Nightmares 2 and Ghost of Tsushima... To be honest, my wallet won't be able to tank this year's great titles. ;^; I've already decided to sit out on HL:A 'cause I cannot afford a VR set... especially not since I ordered the Limited Special Edition of FF7R...

20:26 oh look.. it’s our turn

[@dillongeorge5866]

Max’s reaction to Cloud in Smash is still my favorite reaction on the channel to this day I hope I have a genuine reaction like that for a Smash character some day (I think only Sora or Crash I would have that kind of reaction)

That FFVII Remake reaction is the most heartwarming thing on KZbin... It makes me tear up

1:50 the exact moment when I ordered a Facehugger plushy myself and it has served me well. Scaring my girlfriend at least +20 times.

[@Jose-se9pu]

2015 was the year of hype, I just hope FFVIIR lives up to the hype, because The Last Guardian and Shenmue III, well...yeah.

[@cherrydragon3120]

But you're talking now about a game that ACTUALY got the love i development that it deserves. Unlike last guardian and shenmue 3 Specialy shenmue 3 looks like the devs kinda ran out of idea's halfway. Last guardian was if i am correct from the same devs as shadow of the collosus. Cool idea, lots of potential. Very empty and boring game. FF7 was originaly already a good gane and jampacked with content. And they add only more shit to it AND heavily upgrade the graphics.

[@freddiewompton]

@@cherrydragon3120 So, I never played played Guardian yet, so this is pure conjecture. But if you found the game to be "empty and boring." I would steer clear of any game made by Fumito Ueda. As from what I DO know about that game. It is very much so an Ueda game.

[@chaddieladdie6312]

I still remember how I reacted to Clouds reveal in Smash. I was at the back of my room on the phone with a friend.... that music kicked in... I stopped talking. The Smash logo appeared, and I almost felt like there was something stuck in my throat. Slowly I got closer to the t.v until it finally showed him. My jaw dropped as far as it could go and was speechless for the entire thing. It wasn't until a few moments after it was over that I finally yelled out to my concerned friend still on the phone. Bayonetta and Banjo I think are the closest to that. I couldn't scream for Banjo, though as I was in the car catching a ride to work. I just sorta convulsed in my seat while biting my lip!

[@kingdomhart3]

[@Kleigen]

Legendary is fulfilling the last floor of the tower in MK9 without failing and persisting a lot. That's a real saint patience. As legendary as the salt Max spreads on his defeat in hands of Scorpion (YOU WANNA FIGHT BRO?!). I vote for Max creating "hidden dialogues" in MK11, like those he created for Sub Zero and Scorpion in MKX :D I have to admit the journey of Max towards a Remake for FFVII has been long through these years, just like for many other fans. I like VIII the most, but I like seeing others so happy for this game, which is the most popular in the franchise. The real journey will soon begin :) Sodas... Oh, mysterious soda mixing is another funny chapter for us to enjoy :P Seeing his imitation of Bob Ross is so.... anti-Max in some way, since Bob is peace and quiet for life. As for Max... he 's pure hype, energy, motivation, passion, power!..... Two faces, same life coin. So opposite, yet so inspirational at the same time. Bayonetta shown for Super Smash Bros was the best; the best for the ending, for sure :) Wow, it's been a long way for this channel. What a long, long journey it's been for all of us, indeed.
