I understood when people said they weren't high on this video, but I never comprehended the seeming anger and resentment it drew from some people, as if the Critic had snuck into their homes and flushed their goldfish down a toilet.
Maybe it's just because I don't watch Let's Plays, so I had no frame of reference, but it just seemed harmless to me when I saw it.

Though I think the most backlash came from those from Something Awful.

Don't forget Retsupurae just going off on it (for those that don't know, it's three people who have done "Let's Play"s for YEARS now doing a MST3K style commentary on ones they deem worthy of it). They're usually funny as hell when they do those, but that one came off as mean-spirited as all hell. |

I thought the original video was hilarious, I'm not a real die-hard or original NC fan, but I've never laughed harder at one of his videos.

I laughed my ass off throughout it, mainly because I swore like he did when playing the shitty game years ago

It sucked because it was like AVGN, and frankly he's much better than that.

It was a pretty mediocre video to me, nothing special but not the insult to humanity that people try to make it out to be. The biggest problem I had with it is that it all felt so lazy. He didn't have time to make a real video so he just taped himself playing a video game and yelling at it. I'd be surprised if it took more then an hour to make. Doug wants to do that every so often that's fine, he deserves the break. Just don't expect to be surprised when people say they don't like the video you obviously put no effort in.

I must have been in the minority because I loved this video originally. Listening to the commentary track... is interesting, given how much he feels the past year has been a creative growth for him whereas I think it was VERY hit and miss this year. Last year was can't miss stuff virtually every week. This year? I don't think I've watched the Critic week in week out since January. Just wasn't... interesting to me.
Don't get me wrong, I love his stuff, but I'd actually prefer the MST3K style mugging and commentary he was doing since that is what I enjoyed. That's just me.

As someone that owned that game in his childhood, you could tell how little he actually cared about the video just by watching him play the thing. Granted Bart's Nightmare is horrible, but I expected just a little bit more effort there.

They're usually funny as hell when they do those, but that one came off as mean-spirited as all hell. I think they pretty much only did it because everyone on the SA forums was begging them to, but even there the reaction was kind of mixed when they actually posted it. There were some people who thought the RP was just as unfunny the NC video. |

I guess after doing this every week for the last few years he wants to take a few risks and try things, like Bart's Nightmare, like Moulin Rouge, which will always lead to mixed reactions, and on the other hand his enthusiasm might be waning, unless he has a REALLY bad film to work with, which shows in some of the more lacklustre ones. I admire him for it, he could stick to the same stuff, but he's trying to grow. |
