Hey y'all, I wanted to start a discussion on Jirard and Alex's adventures as bear and bird.
I love completion Let's Plays. When Markiplier played Until Dawn and found all of the secret totems and showed the "Pieces of the Past" video (or whatever it's called), I thought that was great. I can definitely see how someone would dislike that, the argument being "He should play it blind in order to get the best experience," and while I would agree with that for most play-throughs of certain games, when you're doing a Let's Play that an audience with expectations is going to see, you know that they're going to want to see all the extra stuff.
I also love when Let's Players play their favorite games ever. I really enjoyed watching Jacksepticeye play Shadow of the Colossus because it was obvious that he was having a lot of fun, and it's obvious that Jirard and Alex are enjoying Banjo Kazooie. The tricky thing about deciding when to do a Let's Play of your all-time favorite game is that you really want the series to turn out well, and you really want to make it count; in my personal experience, my favorite game was the very first game I had ever let's-played, and those videos were, shall we say, lackluster, which isn't suprising, conidering it was my first Let's Play ever. I'll probably revisit it some day in the future, but not until I know that I'm capable of making good videos.
This is going to sound wierd to say, but Banjo Kazooie is my favorite game that I've never played, because I've seen multiple Let's Plays of it, and it looks super fun, but I've never played it myself; I've never owned a Nintendo 64, and I don't own an Xbox 360 or an Xbox One.
Concerning Banjo Tooie, part of me wants to see Jirard play it because I want to see what it's like, but the other part of me really doesn't because, as I said before, I love seeing Let's Players having fun, but Jirard doesn't seem to like Banjo Tooie.
