I don't care what anyone says when I was a kid Minecraft Storymode was peak fiction, I was always hyped for each new episode. Thank you for talking about it and god bless Ivor.
Minecraft Story Mode was, and still is, fucking awesome. And since Telltale is kind of coming back, I would be more than happy to get either a bundle of season one and two, or season three.
Minecraft story mode is one of the best games series but I like the 2nd one better. Has a way better story but I really do not like that one annoying character called Radar. He’s so freaking nosy and talks too much.
Clarifications + facts about Episode 6 1. According to Stampy, the reason why the youtuber voice acting sounds the way it does is because they were given a script with no context for what they were saying or what the scene was even about 2. Before Telltale decided who the white pumpkin was, LDshadowlady kept asking for them to make her the white pumpkin but they didn't do it 3. Dan had scrapped lines where he mentioned his lab and possibly even Trayaurus 4. In Episode 8, if Jesse remains silent while Slab is reading Lukas' journal, the gladiator will ask "What is a Stampy Cat anyway?".
@@Dawntje_ when i first watched it as a little kid i didnt even know what a tweet was so i was just confused. when i rewatched it for nostalgia’s sake it was the funniest shit ever man and also right after when Jessie and his friends r celebrating over saving the world or something, Thinknoodles is like “why are you celebrating/why are you happy, your pet just died” multiple times and its like jesus dude 💀 imagine Think saying that to someone actually grieving their pet like in real life
Tbh technoblade had the best gameplay. I still revisit Technoblade's mcsm streams. The game is so cringe but its so funny due to techno's dry humour and his hatred against Lukas and trying to kill everyone.
@@NaturalHeist I liked Kwite’s the most idk if anyone even knew Kwite played it in full but it was the funnest to me and it was like the total opposite of Technoblades cuz he was like in love with Lucas for some reason. He also got drunk like multiple times while playing it
One thing that I thought was really funny about Stampy’s playthrough of Season 2 was that he got really pissed about the end of the game because he didn’t want the villain to be redeemed and then seemed like he was in a pretty bad mood throughout the rest of the final scenes.

I remember in 3rd grade a girl started crying because the pig (or spider idc enough to remember that) died in charlottes web and it reminded her of Ruben
I remember stealing my mom's credit card to play chapter 1 and i wholeheartedly believe that this type of financial decision made by the other 10 fans of this game gave Minecraft Story Mode one extra day on the stores
At the very least, it was worth and not money that went to waste and at the end of your day, your not the guy who stole his mom’s credit card to buy onlyfans.
The wither sickness IS actually in Minecraft, but it doesn't last as long. It's just the effect called "Wither" you get from fighting the wither. Also, poison arrows are in Minecraft as well along with every other potion effect. They're called tipped arrows.
Funny you say that Stampy was the highlight of the RUclipsr voice acting in ep6, because Stampy did a stream replaying the episode a few years ago and he kept saying how much he hated his acting and was making fun of how unnatural it was. Said that he thought everyone else did a much better job lol. He explained on that stream that during recording, because the episode was a murder mystery he expected it to be tense most of the time and didn’t realize there’d be more ‘chill’ moments (the YTers were given very little context on the plot because of spoilers), so that’s where the constant ‘excitement’ in his acting comes from. Even if Stampy cringes at it now, at least you enjoyed it haha
I’ve been in the Minecraft story mode fandom since the game came out somehow never got bored of it?? like i know TOO much about this game its lowkey scary. We still have a whole community (surprisingly not full of 8 year olds.) I can admit that the game was not the best, but the impact it had on my childhood and a lot of others is honestly enough, especially seeing as how people like me are still interested in it even after knowing it word by word. Basically I’m saying that even if the game wasn’t perfect, I’m glad I grew up with it and not like skibidi toilet or whatever is on RUclips now. Uhh also heres some things i wanted to add idk - The reason why Axel and Olivia weren’t in the game as much Is cause they literally were so boring that the producers asked for them to be in the series as little as possible and thats so funny to me - And Lukas wasn’t really in season 2 bc his actor just became a father and didn’t have enough time (fair enough reason lmfao) - The writers were pretty rushed, esp in s2, and they've even expressed how they aren’t proud of some of the stuff they had to add/scrap because of deadlines. - Eric Stripe is a writer for the game, and on his tumblr people still submit him questions about the game and he answers, he's honestly keeping our fandom alive lmfao - The game overall isnt meant to give u choices that impact the ENDING, but choices that impact the JOURNEY instead.

It’s BigBstats and he’s in s2 ep 3 and plays Anthony. - The original Lukas design is referred to as “yee haw Lukas” by the fandom. - Also the soundtrack SLAPS go listen to both seasons on Antimo and Welles channel (they made the soundtrack) (if u wanna learn anything else go read wiki pages, watch interviews/panels, or go thru the questions on erics tumblr) I could go on and on about stuff (especially story wise) but ill leave it at that. Moral is the game means a LOT to me and other people, no matter how cringe or bad it is. Personally, its always been a comfort game for me, and ill continue to poke its corpse if it makes me happy yk (this is so incredibly stupid why did i write this)
thanks for sharing this, this helps clear up a lot of confusion i had lol me and my sister had the game when we were kids, but we never got past the first portion of the first game so i never knew what happened. really neat to hear the fandom is still kicking.
Thank you for mentioning the part about ldshadowlady, I loved watching both her and Stacy growing up it’s really sad to hear a lot of people didn’t recognize them really tho 💀
Deadass one of Ivor’s most underrated quotes is “Something touched my foot! Who touched my foot?” during the white pumpkin arc may our brother rest in piece

Honestly Minecraft story mode is so iconic. I remember when it became a hyperfixaion of mine the fandom (yes it has a fandom) it was still going on actively in 2020-2023 and I was so surprised
I love how you can automatically tell you're playing a Telltale game not through the gameplay or even aesthetics. It's the moment you hear Lee's voice actor speak.
Story Mode always has a special place in my heart because they were really a part of the community. They had a story about minecraft youtubers, a story about skyblock, and a story about minecraft servers. So they really knew their audience and who they were making the game for
one thing that drives me insane about this game is how Reuben's death is so goofily executed meanwhile the song that plays during it (Don't Be Toasted Reuben) is genuinely the saddest, most somber song ive ever heard
Reuben's death broke me when I was a child and now years later I laugh because he turns into a piece of meat....if they didn't add him turning into a porkchop it would've been honestly better
when you said poison arrows weren’t in the game my 9 year old nerdy self suddenly snapped back and made me uncontrollably say “YES THEY ARE IDIOT!” in a high voice this video is epic thank you chaz
The only true remnant of this game left to me that's alive is the Antimo and Welles RUclips channel. They're the guys who composed the music(which i actualyl unironically enjoy more than base Minecraft's), and they still interact with fans sometimes and they did upload 30 minutes worth of cut music a year ago. Just something I thought I'd leave here for anyone curious. But man, I am heavily nostalgic for both seasons of this game. It's definitely weird and a lost relic of time at this point, but it's kinda funny how I get more enjoyment out of it than I do base Minecraft now with how uninspired that's become. Had they implimented some ideas introduced in Storymode I think it would have been legendary. And while I am sad the games are done, I do think season 2 ended on a really satisfying spot. Season 2 as a whole was unironically not that bad honestly.
@@robertlupa8273 Sky was revealed to be a genuinely awful person a few years ago. So I thought it would've unintentionally aged well if he was revealed to be the villain of Episode 6.
to be completely honest dan isn't even overreacting, seeing something like this as an official minecraft game was actually insane back then. Just the thought of minecraft not looking like total garbage and being lifeless and boring was nice. (i literally haven't played it since 2016 don't come after me please idc if it's different now leave me alone)
Tbh technoblade had the best gameplay. I still revisit Technoblade's mcsm streams. The game is so cringe but its so funny due to techno's dry humour and his hatred against Lukas and trying to kill everyone.
18:00 the fucking wave of trauma and locked away memories I got from hearing that name. also im pretty sure Stampy literal went to acting school or did some sort of thing like that in college which is why he's the best voice actor, hands down tho the guys a really good story teller as well
MineCraft Story Mode is honestly a guilty pleasure worth going to every 3 and a half years Also it'd be a good idea to have Sky be the White Pumpkin For as much as I want to see a reboot of MineCraft Story Mode it'll never happen and that's okay Long Live The Great Ivor RIP Paul Ruebuens
I’ve had the idea of rewriting mcsm to not be minecraft, 😭 cuz for me mcsm being minecraft is not important at all. I think it would be cooler if it was an original concept, but set in like a zombie apocalypse, but after humans evolved to have different abilities like being proficient with certain tools and equipment or smth
I actually remember back in the day messing around with the Netflix version of Minecraft Storymode and watching the whole way through Basically it was the playable Minecraft Storymode but only with the dialog choices and some point and click sections watered down for a Smart TV remote There really wasn't any type of Gameplay like quick time events, just the dialog choices and point and click were the "playable" part What's interesting is that they gave this version a little more content like an introduction scene that showed you how to control the thing and picking your Jesse and got some Official dubs to other languages like Latin American Spanish But it was kinda janky when it comed to decision making, as an example I picked the Axel's route and it tooked me to the Olivia's route and also it only had the first 6 Episodes from what I can remember or I just lost interest in it and never bothered to watch the last 3 Episodes Anyways, really cool video. I think you summarized perfectly my feelings towards this game
17:25 the way that shot is framed, ngl, made me think for a second that TorqueDawg was gonna call them gay. Maybe my brain's just stupid rotted though.
Chaz somehow always finds a way to make me crack up with laughter, nostalgic as hell, and super sad with each vid. I don't know how you do it man but I really appreciate all the work that goes into these. RIP Ivor 😞
22:21 Years ago my mom bought the complete game for me because she wanted to do something nice for me, after I talked about how I liked playing the game as an even younger kid. Thank you mom but at that point I did not like the game anymore it was getting throughly memed by the internet, you couldn’t go a step without seeing that bugs death scene. Although now I just have this like 100$ game laying around idk how to feel about that.
This is hands down the funniest video I’ve watched in recent time. The writing and editing was just so well done and perfectly timed. Amazing stuff man
I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to say this ever, but I need to get this off my chest. Now, if you were an avid Stampy fan, whenever he was building a new attraction in his Lovely World, if it involved redstone he would always be like "Oh, I'm horrible with redstone, hopefully this works...." Or something like that. He was never great at redstone. HOWEVER, in Minecraft story mode, it is a SPECIFIC PLOT POINT that Stampy is good with redstone (3 time triblock redstone champion or something, I don't remember the specific name), and you can use that to accuse him of being the killer. Even as a braindead child, it had confused and infuriated me to no end why Stampy was made the redstone guy. Maybe I missed something in the Lovely World, and his denial of his redstone ability was actually him being humble or something, but to this day I still remember, Telltale. I remember your blunders and your lies. This was my Heisenberg, the day where my childhood was no more, consumed and belligerent with corporate greed and apathy. The day I saw Minecraft Story Mode for what it really is was also the day I took off my rose-tinted glasses, and saw reality as what it truely was. A lie.
I played it halfway through on Netflix, and I was surprised by how interesting and actually decent it was. I'm sad I never got to finish it on that platform.
Minecraft storymode has always been one of my favorite games even now. I remember getting it when it first came out with the first two episodes. I have two copies of the game: I have the first release and the one that came with all the episodes. Finally glad to see someone give an actual review of the game
I never ended up actually watching this when I was younger and watched kwite play it a while back. Don’t even think it’s been a year. Actually got me invested in the characters.
This game was a beast. Nothing made me smile like a gimp when i was young, coming back from school on my birthday and finding my mum leave this on the bed. Loved this series and might find a way to play it again soon
I love how so much of your videos are just very relatable videos about a guy screaming about stupid shit that I care so much about to come back and rewatch the video every time it’s in my recommended
something that was interesting to me was that the first and maybe second season had words like “hell” and “crap” throw around but never again. I feel like they were going for something more mature especially with the setting which looking back would have been a lot more interesting.
The best way to describe these games is mojang approved fan fiction Also i actually played/watched the mcsm on Netflix. And I think it was the TRUE way to play it because the first game had like no real gameplay and so you had the joy of watching the story and having the subtle control such as going after magnus over ellagard
This game was honestly pretty awesome. It's not like the most high quality game I've ever seen, but it just has this certain nostalgic charm to it that keeps drawing me back. People still love this game and want a continuation. We were kind of left on a major cliffhanger in Season 2. And as amazing it would be for us to get a third season, it would also be nice for people to just be able to play both seasons in their entirety, without fear of accidentally downloading a virus or having to pay $50 for half the game. This game had a big impact on me. I'm literally making an mcsm animatic as I watch this video. It's such a shame the series went out like this. Long live lava.
One thing I'd like to mention is how much I love Jesse's power growth throughout the series. Take a look at season 1 where he struggles to even fight zombies for a good chunk of it, but over time he starts just annihilating mobs like they're nothing. He basically started as a noob fighting trash mobs to at the end fighting A GOD, and you can see this progress in how strong he gets throughout the series, I thought it was really well done.
I'm pretty sure the 'Enderman Cancer' was just a stronger version of the 'Wither' effect in Minecraft, much like The Wither (The Mob) was upgraded to the Witherstorm.
I bought storymode when it came out on the App Store for my iPad forever ago and when I found out it was 7 bucks for just the first chapter I cried for an hour
whenever I think about minecraft story mode I remember playing this game at my grandfathers house wrapped up in a heated blanket while he was telling stories about the war
I remember watching Minecraft story mode on Netflix. It was only the first season and the only interactive parts were some decisions you could take and sometimes you could "explore" a place by choosing what to interact with
the sam & max games are probably the least movie-like telltale games things because they're point-and-click games based off the original LucasArts game and they're probably the actual pinnacle of the TellTale Games lineup, the absolute peak of their library
Funnily enough, my most vivid memory of Minecraft: Story mode is the shipping within the fandom. A lot of people shipped Jesse with Petra, Lucas and Romeo. I remembered someone who made multiple fanart shipping Jesse and Romeo and those are stuck in my head forever.
How the hell do you hit the nail on the head with every video matching my childhood experience. Planet dolan and the fucking roku remote joke. you're the man
Minecraft Story Mode is and is not a lot of things, but one point I will always award it no matter what is just how _charming_ it is I'm definitely really nostalgic for the series, but I think even now, despite all of its faults, the game does such a fantastic job at just having ideas and rolling with them with such immense sincerity that I can't help but love it all the way through. Oh, and the soundtrack slaps. Like. Dude. They did NOT have to go that hard.
I absolutely love Minecraft story mode not because of the story, the story blows outside of ivor learning to become a ninja, but because of the music and builds inside the game. Antimo and Welles did an amazing job on the ost, fits the Minecraft theme so well (and greatly wish mojang would get them to make a record disc in the game) and the builds for beacon town in season two feel so honest to a Minecraft world you would have with friends if you tried making your own town. Minus the pranks of replacing all the doors with obsidian but y’know it’s the thought that counts. Also the wither storm being just in story mode and then never brought up for anything ever again is saddening. Minecraft story mode was so much missed opportunity and they nailed the animation style to not be weird fleshy and overly detailed faces, mostly. Rueben next to a vanilla Minecraft pig is uncanny, who gave him eyebrows. Also I don’t like the motion capture in some scenes, icky. Minecraft struggles with all of its spin-offs, trying to expand a brand from such a difficult core to expand from without being like “why the fuck is the Minecraft dungeons illagers so much cooler than vanilla ones I wanna fight the fucking endersent from the end DLC.” Minecraft story mode was a game I kind of liked the concept of, but I ultimately knew I was playing through a train wreck but I can’t help but pick it apart with all the cool things that it has. Fuck this comment is long oops we’ll you have a good day internet man who knows ab every obscure youtuber like hey guys it’s drae here welcome back to besiege best creations

everytime chaz puts a random ass clip in the video it has me dying like I was not expecting stampy to say "oh my god its a fucking creeper"
Did Chaz make a full 32 minute video without a single Shima reference? This is groundbreaking.

Honestly Minecraft story mode is so iconic. I remember when it became a hyperfixaion of mine the fandom (yes it has a fandom) it was still going on actively in 2020-2023 and I was so surprised
I love how you can automatically tell you're playing a Telltale game not through the gameplay or even aesthetics.

Story Mode always has a special place in my heart because they were really a part of the community. They had a story about minecraft youtubers, a story about skyblock, and a story about minecraft servers. So they really knew their audience and who they were making the game for

one thing that drives me insane about this game is how Reuben's death is so goofily executed meanwhile the song that plays during it (Don't Be Toasted Reuben) is genuinely the saddest, most somber song ive ever heard
Reuben's death broke me when I was a child and now years later I laugh because he turns into a piece of meat....if they didn't add him turning into a porkchop it would've been honestly better

The only true remnant of this game left to me that's alive is the Antimo and Welles RUclips channel. They're the guys who composed the music(which i actualyl unironically enjoy more than base Minecraft's), and they still interact with fans sometimes and they did upload 30 minutes worth of cut music a year ago. Just something I thought I'd leave here for anyone curious.
But man, I am heavily nostalgic for both seasons of this game. It's definitely weird and a lost relic of time at this point, but it's kinda funny how I get more enjoyment out of it than I do base Minecraft now with how uninspired that's become. Had they implimented some ideas introduced in Storymode I think it would have been legendary. And while I am sad the games are done, I do think season 2 ended on a really satisfying spot. Season 2 as a whole was unironically not that bad honestly.
The whole thing was un-ironically not that bad!
The music for mcsm was one of the best parts about it. I still listen to it on the regular.
@@tadbitsketch True!
An incredibly missed opportunity was to have the villager from season two be one of the Element Animation villagers
Having a villager not be voiced by the element animation guy doesn't feel right.

to be completely honest dan isn't even overreacting, seeing something like this as an official minecraft game was actually insane back then. Just the thought of minecraft not looking like total garbage and being lifeless and boring was nice.
(i literally haven't played it since 2016 don't come after me please idc if it's different now leave me alone)
Just imagine if Dan saw rats in the vents…
Tbh technoblade had the best gameplay. I still revisit Technoblade's mcsm streams. The game is so cringe but its so funny due to techno's dry humour and his hatred against Lukas and trying to kill everyone.
I think Dan was very excited haha.

also you did stampy way too dirty with the smike jokes
MineCraft Story Mode is honestly a guilty pleasure worth going to every 3 and a half years

For as much as I want to see a reboot of MineCraft Story Mode it'll never happen and that's okay

Ikr to bad it ain't in Netflix anymore.
I’ve had the idea of rewriting mcsm to not be minecraft, 😭 cuz for me mcsm being minecraft is not important at all. I think it would be cooler if it was an original concept, but set in like a zombie apocalypse, but after humans evolved to have different abilities like being proficient with certain tools and equipment or smth
Nah but fr its just so funny to me so i love replaying it
There is NO WAY Pee Wee Goddamned Herman voiced IVOR, of all people. I'm actually in shock
I actually remember back in the day messing around with the Netflix version of Minecraft Storymode and watching the whole way through
Basically it was the playable Minecraft Storymode but only with the dialog choices and some point and click sections watered down for a Smart TV remote
There really wasn't any type of Gameplay like quick time events, just the dialog choices and point and click were the "playable" part
What's interesting is that they gave this version a little more content like an introduction scene that showed you how to control the thing and picking your Jesse and got some Official dubs to other languages like Latin American Spanish
But it was kinda janky when it comed to decision making, as an example I picked the Axel's route and it tooked me to the Olivia's route and also it only had the first 6 Episodes from what I can remember or I just lost interest in it and never bothered to watch the last 3 Episodes
Anyways, really cool video. I think you summarized perfectly my feelings towards this game
After watching THAT trailer I realize you were so damn right.
this is the most underrated game next to fnaf world.
This might be my favourite comment on all of RUclips
Fr
Both of these games are EXTREMELY underrated, and I’m tired of thinking they’re not!
FNAF World is just so underrated imo
unbelievably fax
17:25 the way that shot is framed, ngl, made me think for a second that TorqueDawg was gonna call them gay. Maybe my brain's just stupid rotted though.

Chaz somehow always finds a way to make me crack up with laughter, nostalgic as hell, and super sad with each vid. I don't know how you do it man but I really appreciate all the work that goes into these. RIP Ivor 😞
Probably a hot take: Story Mode is the best Minecraft Spin Off. Better than Legends by a mile.
Yes sir.
17:25 _”What are you guys anyway? Some sort of Minecraft: Story Mode?”_
I like the ongoing joke of Stampy just being Smike
22:21 Years ago my mom bought the complete game for me because she wanted to do something nice for me, after I talked about how I liked playing the game as an even younger kid. Thank you mom but at that point I did not like the game anymore it was getting throughly memed by the internet, you couldn’t go a step without seeing that bugs death scene.
Although now I just have this like 100$ game laying around idk how to feel about that.
Pigs* not bugs :/
This is hands down the funniest video I’ve watched in recent time. The writing and editing was just so well done and perfectly timed. Amazing stuff man
I LOVED watching Torquedawg. Best MC RUclipsr ever
I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to say this ever, but I need to get this off my chest.
Now, if you were an avid Stampy fan, whenever he was building a new attraction in his Lovely World, if it involved redstone he would always be like "Oh, I'm horrible with redstone, hopefully this works...." Or something like that. He was never great at redstone. HOWEVER, in Minecraft story mode, it is a SPECIFIC PLOT POINT that Stampy is good with redstone (3 time triblock redstone champion or something, I don't remember the specific name), and you can use that to accuse him of being the killer. Even as a braindead child, it had confused and infuriated me to no end why Stampy was made the redstone guy.
Maybe I missed something in the Lovely World, and his denial of his redstone ability was actually him being humble or something, but to this day I still remember, Telltale. I remember your blunders and your lies. This was my Heisenberg, the day where my childhood was no more, consumed and belligerent with corporate greed and apathy. The day I saw Minecraft Story Mode for what it really is was also the day I took off my rose-tinted glasses, and saw reality as what it truely was. A lie.
What a beautiful comment lmao
I unironically love MCSM, I miss them so much
Minecraft Story Mode: *Existed*
People: I hate you
Minecraft Movie: *Exists*
People to MCSM: Perhaps i treated you too harshly
Just because its better then the minecraft movie doesnt mean its good
(Ik its a joke lol, just wantes to say that)
I will say that Minecraft story mode would make a solid DnD campaign. Minecraft is sort of just tacked on there.
yeah Story Mode is more of a completely original story with minecraft trappings/aesthetics
I love Stampy’s streams where he replayed Episode 6 and the entire time he was dreading how bad his voice acting was
I played it halfway through on Netflix, and I was surprised by how interesting and actually decent it was. I'm sad I never got to finish it on that platform.
I miss you Minecraft Story Mode you were too good for this world
Minecraft storymode has always been one of my favorite games even now. I remember getting it when it first came out with the first two episodes. I have two copies of the game: I have the first release and the one that came with all the episodes. Finally glad to see someone give an actual review of the game
There are tons of reviews of this game.... ???
I never ended up actually watching this when I was younger and watched kwite play it a while back. Don’t even think it’s been a year. Actually got me invested in the characters.
Damn it has been a year. My sense of time is fucked
I like how they kinda made the multiversal portals real in a JOKE UPDATE
This game was a beast. Nothing made me smile like a gimp when i was young, coming back from school on my birthday and finding my mum leave this on the bed. Loved this series and might find a way to play it again soon
I love how so much of your videos are just very relatable videos about a guy screaming about stupid shit that I care so much about to come back and rewatch the video every time it’s in my recommended
something that was interesting to me was that the first and maybe second season had words like “hell” and “crap” throw around but never again. I feel like they were going for something more mature especially with the setting which looking back would have been a lot more interesting.
The best way to describe these games is mojang approved fan fiction
Also i actually played/watched the mcsm on Netflix. And I think it was the TRUE way to play it because the first game had like no real gameplay and so you had the joy of watching the story and having the subtle control such as going after magnus over ellagard
This game was honestly pretty awesome. It's not like the most high quality game I've ever seen, but it just has this certain nostalgic charm to it that keeps drawing me back. People still love this game and want a continuation. We were kind of left on a major cliffhanger in Season 2.
And as amazing it would be for us to get a third season, it would also be nice for people to just be able to play both seasons in their entirety, without fear of accidentally downloading a virus or having to pay $50 for half the game.
This game had a big impact on me. I'm literally making an mcsm animatic as I watch this video. It's such a shame the series went out like this.
Long live lava.
how do you even find this many out of context clips lmao great video
Watching like over 15 hours of gameplay
using smike as the picture for stampy is so fucking funny to me 😭😭😭
One thing I'd like to mention is how much I love Jesse's power growth throughout the series. Take a look at season 1 where he struggles to even fight zombies for a good chunk of it, but over time he starts just annihilating mobs like they're nothing. He basically started as a noob fighting trash mobs to at the end fighting A GOD, and you can see this progress in how strong he gets throughout the series, I thought it was really well done.
Hearing thinknoodles say skibidi toilet hurts much more than expected
Replacing Stampy with Smike was unnecessarily funny to me
LOOOOL i came to the comments section just to find someone with the same opinion 😭😭😭
RT playthrough of story mode is one of the best series on youtube
Finally someone mentions RT lol, man predicted every story beat
@@donpollo3154 it was so entertaining
It was so good I watched the full streams. I almost never do that with other videos like those.
Kwite's one is also pretty funny
The naked mess up was so funny and I don’t why 😭
I'm pretty sure the 'Enderman Cancer' was just a stronger version of the 'Wither' effect in Minecraft, much like The Wither (The Mob) was upgraded to the Witherstorm.
I bought storymode when it came out on the App Store for my iPad forever ago and when I found out it was 7 bucks for just the first chapter I cried for an hour
whenever I think about minecraft story mode I remember playing this game at my grandfathers house wrapped up in a heated blanket while he was telling stories about the war
I use to think Griefers were a type of Minecraft mob in the base game, and not a type of player ideology.
I remember watching Minecraft story mode on Netflix. It was only the first season and the only interactive parts were some decisions you could take and sometimes you could "explore" a place by choosing what to interact with
17:37 Ellie from The Last Of Us is talking to CaptainSparkles I fucking can’t 😂😂😂😂
the sam & max games are probably the least movie-like telltale games things because they're point-and-click games based off the original LucasArts game and they're probably the actual pinnacle of the TellTale Games lineup, the absolute peak of their library
preach
the walking dead game wishes it was as good as minecraft story mode
technoblade had an amazing playthrough of this game it would probably depress me if I watched it now
Funnily enough, my most vivid memory of Minecraft: Story mode is the shipping within the fandom. A lot of people shipped Jesse with Petra, Lucas and Romeo. I remembered someone who made multiple fanart shipping Jesse and Romeo and those are stuck in my head forever.
I remember begging my parents to buy me the full version on my iPad for so long and finally getting it
I feel emotional now.
Both seasons of this game were my childhood, I'm like...
Well it's hard to believe it's gone and that's it...
10:22 But poison arrows are in Minecraft......

Maybe the real storymode was the things we crafted along the way...
Minecraft Story Mode is and is not a lot of things, but one point I will always award it no matter what is just how _charming_ it is
I'm definitely really nostalgic for the series, but I think even now, despite all of its faults, the game does such a fantastic job at just having ideas and rolling with them with such immense sincerity that I can't help but love it all the way through.
Oh, and the soundtrack slaps. Like. Dude. They did NOT have to go that hard.
I absolutely love Minecraft story mode not because of the story, the story blows outside of ivor learning to become a ninja, but because of the music and builds inside the game. Antimo and Welles did an amazing job on the ost, fits the Minecraft theme so well (and greatly wish mojang would get them to make a record disc in the game) and the builds for beacon town in season two feel so honest to a Minecraft world you would have with friends if you tried making your own town. Minus the pranks of replacing all the doors with obsidian but y’know it’s the thought that counts. Also the wither storm being just in story mode and then never brought up for anything ever again is saddening. Minecraft story mode was so much missed opportunity and they nailed the animation style to not be weird fleshy and overly detailed faces, mostly. Rueben next to a vanilla Minecraft pig is uncanny, who gave him eyebrows. Also I don’t like the motion capture in some scenes, icky. Minecraft struggles with all of its spin-offs, trying to expand a brand from such a difficult core to expand from without being like “why the fuck is the Minecraft dungeons illagers so much cooler than vanilla ones I wanna fight the fucking endersent from the end DLC.” Minecraft story mode was a game I kind of liked the concept of, but I ultimately knew I was playing through a train wreck but I can’t help but pick it apart with all the cool things that it has. Fuck this comment is long oops we’ll you have a good day internet man who knows ab every obscure youtuber like hey guys it’s drae here welcome back to besiege best creations
