I think it's probably all the reasons combined.Winterbury wrote:Hm, you're making a good point but I'm not completely sold tbh. It's not like he'd be revealing some deep, dark secret - he's talked about Guild Wars and Halo more than enough in the past and they've already played Halo on Dan vs. Phil. To me, it's just like they don't want to properly commit to a game. If they started playing Halo or Guild Wars or any other game with a proper story for that matter, they'd actually have to post videos on a regular basis. Look how much they're already struggling with Undertale which is, tho great, still a rather short and simple indie game. I don't want to be the one to call them lazy again because yes, they do a lot of stuff behind the scenes and they have their tour and had their book etc, but still, they already only post once a month on their main channels so is it really too much to ask for a "proper" game?alittledizzy wrote:That is such a good point. And really, I don't blame them too much for wanting to preserve their enjoyment of some things. Dan and Phil both seem very keen on keeping things that are genuine to them off-screen. They have lines they won't cross for the sake of (and how close as we to this being in the same category of non-word as persona?) fanservice. (And isn't it just too damn sweet how many of those things they won't show or go too into on-camera have to do with each other? Or, alternately, too damn co-dependent. But I prefer sweet.)somelikeitpink wrote:I think in a weird twisted kind of way.. We will never get to see the games they ACTUALLY enjoy playing. We will never see Dan play guild wars or a board game.
Mainly because in a way for them that's personal. Something they - Dan and Phil and not dinof and ap - enjoy.
They're not like other gamers who started out unknown and if they played something they liked it was just accepted. Everything they're gonna do will be scrutinised and that was there from the beginning on.. So having something you actually enjoy in your spare time judged might keep them from doing it
Also, like one of you mentioned (sorry, forgot who), the very reason they started the channel was because they "play so many games in their free time anyway they might as well film it lol".
Yeah. Remember when? /grumbles/
- Their gaming experiences are personal, they want them to be free of public eyes and judgement.
- Doesn't want to commit because they are lazy as fuck.
- When they are playing games with full-on serious immersion, they are not entertaining at all, they just stare at the screen and make mumbling mouth noises. (I think it's the reason Dan gave?)
- They have other things planned for the future and gaming channel is just a temporary thing. So if it's not that good, when they leave it, people won't be too sad/mad.
They said themselves they "play so many games in free time might as well film it" but some believe the real reason is they want to make up for the time cut of their radio show.
EDIT: Oh another reason - they don't want to commit because they are breaking up after the tour, so since their brand won't last long, why bother putting effort into it, amiright?
Definitely wrong person
Don't think I'll be returning there tbh, after seeing this place.
) and hey, moving to this new site is as good a reason to start posting as any
