I'd say with Castlevania 2 he had more actual valid points. The OoT one on the other hand is steeped in his irrational hatred for 3D Zeldas.
I liked his Castlevania video because when I played Castlevania 2 I found it to be boring dogshit, in complete contrast with Castlevania which was a fun and exciting, and difficult, platform game.

Seriously, Zelda 2 was a much better execution of the Castlevania 2 concept

His Zelda video was especially bad because he clearly didn't even understand the very shallow and designed for 12yr olds combat system.

He is still far off from the absolute masters of being objectively wrong about any aspect of vidya: Extra Credits.
I couldn't even try to be as wrong as possible and succeed in it so well. I have never heard a single thought about vidya from them in all those years that wasn't just bad but 100% wrong. I doubt they could even state what colour Pacman is and be correct.

Because he quit like a bitch. I mean, he went from 'pretty good critique' to 'full retard' in the space of four videos. That's gotta be a record. If he'd actually stuck with game criticism and didn't just dedicate himself full time to talking over vidya for his legions of 12 year old fans he'd probably be entertaining us with many more hot takes that make you think 'God, what a retard'

I forgot what the 4th video was.

I remember not liking the Castlevania 2 one because he defended the NPCs saying gibberish because the manual says they lie as if an exploring game having nonsense as hints are good.

Zelda OOT was horrible because it feels like he was pandering to muh nostalgia NES fanboys like Mike Matei. Ripping OOT apart about exploration and I think LTTP as well but saying that NES Zelda was perfect with that even though most people without any guides will have zero clue what the fuck to do getting lost left and right. I remember how hard the game was due to that. I have beaten a lot of Zelda games and RPGs without getting lost so it's not the genre that's the problem. NES Zelda was just bad with this. Even Zelda 2 was better at this. And like I pointed out Zelda OOT video aged poorly since this dumb fuck didn't know how to use his shield to block in Skyward Sword even though that ability has been there since the original.

The Zelda one. The third video was a short one where he complained the alt weapons in Castlevania 4 were pretty much pointless

I don't believe he did though, I believe he actually complained about the lying NPCs. I don't really want to check because I really can't stand to listen to his voice any more

Oh yeah. Castlevania 4. That always bothered me that people complained about the 8 directional whip. I do think you still need the sub weapons since there was still limits on distance with the whip. It was why I was disappointed in Dracula X when they removed it. Maybe because I actually don't like the NES Castlevanias due to how broken the controls were.

Also I thought that was the one part that he defended. But yeah we are in an agreement that we don't really want to check to confirm it

Not really. I replay it every once in a while and I've never needed to use the alt weapons. Maybe against Dracula and maybe if you play a new game plus, which is supposed to be harder, there might be some use for them. But, in most situations, the whip is enough, unlike the NES Castlevanias

If you really needed the subweapons he'd complain about it being bad game design as well.

He probably would.

It's almost a shame he quit doing them

Really the only occasionally useful sub-weapon is the cross, since it stays on screen for almost forever (if the level design is accommodating enough).

You see, the superior 2D Zeldas didn't force you to learn such an unintuitive control scheme because Link was blocking automatically :roll:

I also reckon the Skyward Sword videos are full of their classic tism:
>NPC tells you where to go
>skip the NPC dialogue
>WTF dude where am I supposed to go?!
