It's so fun seeing new players get suckered in to the "YOU THINK THAT'S FAST? THINK AGAIN." mechanic of the game. The insight, the ghost playback, the hint, and the BAM LEADERBOARD WITH YOUR FRIENDS YOU'RE THE SLOWEST DO BETTER just works. The devs were cooking with the competitive nature of all gamers, and I love and hate them for it.
The 'insight' is probably the absolute best way I've seen any of these games handle their push to improve players. So many times either I'd see a cool route and the game would confirm it with the insight markers after restarting, or I'd be baffled and have it hinted to me so I actually felt motivated to push for a better time. Got a good few red medals on the routes I thought were particularly good and fun to grind, platinum'd everything else. 100%d it as well since even Hell rush was good fun. I think that SEUM would be at least 10x better if it had something like that. So many times I see a level and have no clue what I should be doing, and then I click on the leaderboards and it's a guy hitting pixel-perfect frame-perfect shots through gaps I can't even see to beat it in 1/10 the par time which doesn't give me any more knowledge. Also SEUM would be better if they made the audio settings actually affect the torches so I don't go deaf every time I go near them but that's separate.
I can't believe Joe has played this many anime games and didn't immediately assume he could parry the enemy projectiles with the katana. What a fake fan.
I don't know if anyone else has pointed it out, but directly after meeting Mikey, who's voiced by ProZD, Joe makes a reference to a ProZD skit at 1:31:20. Considering he didn't acknowledge recognizing the voice, I can only assume that it was subconscious, which is pretty sick.
The writing of Neon White is so holistically and intentionally cringe that it’s actually really well done for what it’s trying to do. It’s such a love letter to the alt/emo “outcast” culture of the generation growing up in 00’s. The kids who grew up on those “cringy Japanese cartoons” and “it’s not a phase mom” bands. If it wasn’t written to be so over the top in its pursuit I could totally have seen young tween me thinking it was unironically the coolest thing ever. I honestly think people shouldn’t treat the writing like it’s this “unintentional black spot on an amazing game”, because it’s actually just an amazing game with a framing/theming we don’t see very much of. Embrace the cringe and try to appreciate its goals, otherwise your surface level engagement is what is revealed to be the actual cringe.
@@vetlekarlsen8382 Nah I'm really not. It's really easy to just sandbag a piece of work and say "lol its just bad actually" despite the fact that clear effort, skill, and intent was put into its design, including the choice to be "cringy". You don't have to love what it's doing, but you should at least appreciate what it does to accomplish it.
@@phosie1380 Yes you really are. It's easy to try to seem smart by comming up with dumbass nonsense interpretations despite the fact that anyone with half a brain knows that the game is just really badly written.
Fr like I don’t get how people miss this. Like the whole point is that the main cast are simultaneously edgy mercenary badasses but also complete goobers and sincere dorks about their special interests. And like, they spend all this time zipping around heaven and mowing down demons and looking cool and feeling cool doing it, and then you get slapped in the face again with that mask colliding with the person underneath it. The protagonist is a total weeb, whose obsession with katanas is so immense that it is literally deemed a defining aspect of his soul, and so he is assigned what is hands down _the least useful weapon in the arsenal_ and is still _sincerely stoked about it_ . It’s almost like people will just call anyone behaving slightly outside a narrowly defined norm “cringe” for the sake of seeming cool and edgy, when really the only thing that does is make it more difficult to appreciate things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you, Avarisi, so much for these huge videos. I always find it helps to have something on in the background while I work, and these long videos of Joe are the best combination of not too distracting and not too quiet. So again, I'm really thankful. Have a good one broski 🙏

i can't believe joseph anderson played neon white and nobody told me! his supercuts of my favorite games are just some of the most beloved content to me on youtube and oh boy is neon white a favorite of mine. i've only been playing it for two years, but i've been playing it nearly daily. it was an easy game to download on my school computer and it helped me connect with some people who are now my really close friends. i look past the purposefully terrible writing and see characters that i genuinely love. i see ironically really funny dialogue because of how ridiculous it is. and i see one of the most innovative styles of gameplay i've ever seen. i would wish more people played this game because i love any playthrough i can get but i think i'm satisfied with joseph anderson actually!!
Many hate the plot but I honestly love it, the characters are cringe true but that's intentional, over time you help them drop the mask and be more honest
I though Sir Meow Music's real name was David? (Apologies in advance if I'm deadnaming them, I've just forgotten to watch the podcast over the past couple of months.)
This video made me download the game again and the Red medals are so much easier than what i remembered. I got a lot of them first try lol (i got almost all a year ago so yuh)
I can absolutely understand why people think this game is cringe but its style connects with everything I found awesome as a kid that I can only love it. There are parts of this game where I'm playing/watching thinking "this is the coolest shit I've ever seen!"
As someone who has 100%'d Neon White (Even the Hell rushes), I can assure you you are not missing out at all in any way. The only thing the actual characters in this game are good for is r34 and imagining you're playing as Cliff Hudson from Dead Rising since it's the same voice actor. All he'd need is a few lines shouting about the viet cong and it fits.
Honestly, the dialog in the game isn't anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Cringy on purpose or not. It isn't that bad. I think the dialog is actually pretty funny, and if it's not your taste, it's not your taste. I just don't like when people go around acting like this is the most Cringy thing they've ever seen.
I had the ps5 WR on the last couple levels. The big optimization he was missing in the last one was saving a Godspeed dash for the very end to save like a second and a half of air drift after you hit the barrel. You have to shoot one of the blue guys up top and make some longer snipes on the other enemies too but it’s a fun route. Is there another video in the pipeline for the rest of the game or did he never go back to it?
I don't know if this is an incomplete version you uploaded by accident or if you've just been sleep-deprived from all the Anderson content that you'v been uploading but it's got a bunch of odd cuts, repetition of levels mislabeled as later levels, i know it's mostly background noise for most people but i wouldn't mind waiting a little between uploads or having them be less frequent if it means the supercuts have a little bit more quality :))
IDC what chat says, "you were my Sasuke, bro" was shakesperian
Do you hear that sound? It’s every screenwriter in the world whispering a reverent "fuck..." under their breath.
Brings a tear to your eye 🥲
So manly, it's hard not to nod your head and think of how to use it in your writing
The fact you used N for Nitrogen instead of Ne for Neon in the breaking bad intro hurts me in the best possible way.
in many languages Nitrogen doesn't even start with an N lol
@@GBlockbreaker I mean, the scientific symbol is still N tho :p

fun fact fungle nards is actually Billy from Please Stop Talking(a podcast that Mandalore is on)
I like the part where he gets mad at his ghost and implies he’s hacking
The ‘settling for third / first place’ part of his stream was really fun and satisfying to watch.
I can't believe Joe has played this many anime games and didn't immediately assume he could parry the enemy projectiles with the katana. What a fake fan.

"Big Zero Escape vibes"

Mitch bros where you at???
I also enjoy Hunt down the freeman.
Really sad he didn't keep streaming it, this was so cream
Great vegetables
he just keeps getting better and better
I need more neon white man... i completed the game 100% and its not enough. The music is so fucking good and the gameplay is fire
I’m unreasonably sad that he never continued this
HOW DID HE BREAK THE GAME IN THE FIRST 30 SECONDS
This video made me download the game again and the Red medals are so much easier than what i remembered. I got a lot of them first try lol (i got almost all a year ago so yuh)
