thread of tim rogers content (do not read if you hate tim rogers)

I can't believe he's still listing instances of the "come a long way" trope

By which I mean I 100% believe it, but man, this bit may destroy me

i appreciate his commitment to the 3 hour format though my favorite video reviews of his were the 20 minute ones (hyrule warriors, forza horizon 4)

When he gets around to Super Mario Bros 3 I can’t imagine him doing anything short of a 10 hour series

TRUCK HECK

omigod this opening

I couldn't make it through the Doom one, but Pac-Man could be good.

saving this for Thanksgiving when I may give it my full attention.

The Tokimeki Memorial video is up and its six hours long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb-DtICmPTY

lol, i have never heard of this game.

finally--i say this very early in the video, though i figure it deserves at least one social media post: WOW. Tokimeki Memorial is an *EXTREMELY* Important Video Game that You Should Know About. it's bigger than chrono trigger, persona, MGS, and GTA. it's monumental. i love it

bookmarked! i don't know anything about it, and i would like to know. perfect tim rogers content

however, he also raved about god of war and i'm still a little mad about that

Lol at the Patreon supporter that cancelled their sub because they didn't want to hear Tim talk about games they'd never heard of. Why would you even bother subbing to a Tim Rogers channel if you weren't interested in hearing him ramble on at great length about anything at all, as that basically is all his videos (and the whole appeal of watching them IMO)?

otm

Desperate for him to actually publish a novel but I don’t think he ever will

yeah tokimeki memorial is kinda the next most elemental game after tetris, mario, and zelda

it's still zelda though by way of the majora's mask sidequests and general ignorance of the chronology of those two games

watched up to the first intermission and this one's goood

YESSSSS!!! i've been wanting to play this game for a while but no english translation :(

He’s really in his bag

best tim rogers content is that bit within pac man episode where he talks about that game where you tie string around pins to trap dudes.

Tangential but for fans of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAJrVXaPe9s

ok that was enjoyable on the whole but i think the first hour where he places the game in historical context was the strongest part

well that plus the creeping horror of the 'successful' playthrough. his ruminations afterwards don't really add that much that isn't already expressed there

HELLO. starting at noon saturday i'll stream a complete game of TOKIMEKI MEMORIAL: FOREVER WITH YOU for sega saturn over at https://t.co/ZM876RMmAc. my goal will be to get megumi mikihara, which as i explain in my review i consider the most interesting route. so follow me please~ pic.twitter.com/AVtnr6fTrJ

Is L.A. Noire really as good as his aside implied in this one?

I'm prepared to believe it when he gets done talking about it

yeah i was surprised to learn he thinks its good, ive only ever heard lukewarm impressions of that game

i kinda hated it!

i always think "l.a. noire is supposed to good, right?" before remembering that i'm primarily thinking about tim rogers raves throughout the years

The one risk with Tim Rogers is he likes a lot of stuff, including NASCAR t-shirts, Conan novels, direct to video martial arts movies…

80s Japanese idol pop…

It’s inspiring to me to learn from someone with the openheartedness to enjoy so much.

i like to let him convince me that something is amazing and then give it a shot, it's fun

i am an avowed I LOVE EVERYTHING guy but LA Noire is not a fun game. It's Heavy Rain.

Tim is the american bradass of videogames

LA Noire's game mechanic was annoying, you had 3 options when questioning a suspect, forget the terminology but essentially you could believe them, challenge them with proof of their dishonesty, or doubt them without proof. The distinction between the latter two options was close to utterly arbitrary and annoying as hell. The acting,storyline, and writing were all pretty good as far as games go

the one time I bought into tim rogers' contrarian hyping the game was pish

there were definitely things about la noire i liked, in spite of the bad parts, im curious to see him talk abt it for a long time bc he might cover some of those things

like if they removed all of the "game" from it and made it a drive around 1920s simulator i'd maybe love it even more?!

In the context of this TM video at least, he seemed to be championing the interrogation gameplay.

don't think he hypes up games he loves to convince other people to actually play them, usually

omg lol

I absolutely must play this game now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVWbogLa77Q

this game seems like it is good

When you're doing the part of the game that isn't interrogating people it's pretty stale

But it's a great game world for the era. Really cool version of classic LA

He's streaming tokimemo rn on Twitch if anyone's interested:

Looking forward to the review of baseball

baseball rules in part because every turn contains a massively dreadful opportunity for infinity. baked right into the design are questions whose answers involve "idk man somebody's arms'll fall off first". anyway please anticipate my review of BASEBALL, coming 2025-ish https://t.co/GE8LZxUKiY
