Playing ARIN'S CHILDHOOD! - MegaMan V : PART 1

The date is January 29, 2020. You wake up naked in a dumpster covered in dirt. You reach back behind you for your phone, which is lodged in your buttocks for some reason. You still have 69% battery life. The clock strikes 10 AM Pacific Time. You get that notification about a new Game Grumps video featuring a Mega Man V playthrough. You click it. You hear that intro that you've known and loved for so many years. "Ah," you think. "Everything is going to be okay."

MegaMan is a great game series, but it really hammers home why Arin's "run forward, mash attack" playstyle is so ingrained to the point of being detrimental in games not named MegaMan.

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

I mean that play style isn’t even recommended for the classic game. The x series is where you can brute force your way with mashing

Centaur is weak to knight because knights hunt centaurs I guess? And then knight is weak to yamato because spears are longer than swords or something. Tomahawk beats yamato because it's a ranged weapon, and plant kills tomahawk because native Americans were prone to poisoning from plants. That's how I make sense of it lol.

You misunderstood the intent of my post. Arin's indignant reply implied its removal was indicative of a trend in the series' progression, when it really wasn't (in fact, later games were often noted for how stale and unchanging they were). He was likely, as he mentioned earlier in the video, thinking of just Mega Man 9, which also removed the slide mechanic as part of the same design aesthetic.

Dan on the Vietnam war: I could not, for the life of me, understand what that war was about. Yeah. Neither could the people in it, or the people who started it, or historians, or anyone. Best guess is that it was a political distraction and nothing more.

1) Basically 2) Domino Effect. The US didn't want more communists in Asia so they just went to war for a long time and lost. This was one of a collection of "proxy wars", smaller wars between two major powers using secondary allies to fight each other.

[@zeromuszxa2332]

And yet the people who fought in it were spit on and shund for being there when they didn't want to go in the first place, kinda f****d up if ya think about it

[@senseisleepyhead]

Around 36:44 and a bit onward, I LOVE Arin's phrase "it has a more direct link to your emotional circuitry". Ugh, the reflective commentary in this (RE: video games being fun/interesting/both, etc) is genuinely SO GOOD.

"we had accidentally uploaded a video without game audio" yes dan, this happened several times over the years actually, i cant think of any specific episodes where it happened, but i remember it happening the most when kevin was editing, pretty sure it also happened a couple times when matt & ryan were editing

Passage was such an interesting experience for me, like one of the most profound and thought provoking indie games I've ever played, yet I have no desire to play it ever again. I remember the music being really damn good too, although I can't recall it right now.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

Arin's description reminds me a lot of the old flash game The Company of Myself. It's not that similar by the sounds of it, but it sounds like it gave him a similar feeling. Except, y'know, this one has cool platforming. And hats.

Fun fact: LSD Dream Emulator was in no way a reference to the drug. It was instead based on a dream journal

[@nicolasroy8481]

I wouldn't say it's in "no way" related to the drug, you don't name something LSD by accident lol. But yes it's mostly based on dreams.

[@matthewbrooks5470]

In ‘94, there were quite a few megans. My sister had 8 megan’s in her class growing up

[@jonathon422]

It's great to see how far Arin has come with his opinions. With the Zelda Sequalitis the premise was "There is too much waiting. It's not fun. Therefore it's bad." And now he's at a point where he can say that just because the game isn't everything he wants it to be, doesn't mean it's not a great game. Good stuff, man.
