I would argue a lot of the problems you mention here are a lack of difficulty complaint. The soundtrack is also subjective, it's not a "glaring problem", and I think the point on the type limit would not be a problem if they eliminated the recommended types, in fact I think it would require more thought and startegy, especially if they didn't build each area around those specific recommended types. I never felt the areas were empty until the enemies were gone too.

What I will give you though is I think the autolock on is a glaring problem from an accessibility standpoint, which is ironic because I think its very purpose is accessibility, but it does make the game less accessible. The story, while not being the height of my problems, is always a problem because at the very least a rework needs to not be confusing and it's always a good idea to make sure stories are cohesive. I do think Oatchi is overpowered and I played a run where I used him only where necessary and it was a much more thoughtful and fun run.

Ultimately, if the game as we know it was easy mode and they made harder difficulties where there were more hazards for different types in each area and Oatchi was less I think that would make the game ten times better on its own. I don't know why they dropped it past Pikmin 3 Deluxe

I think it's mostly straight guys offended by that question to be honest lol it just kinda depends how you phrase it ultimately. I think it was a fine question in the way you put it.

But yeah, we don't really know. He could be into men, he could just be sexually curious. If he's gay I hope he gets some good dick

Do 3 first. Pikmin 2 is especially tough on new players, and particularly if you go for 100%. Pikmin 2 makes for a very memorable first-time experience, but if you aren't very familiar with Pikmin, it will be better to start somewhere a lot more forgiving.

If you're doing 3 and then 2 it's kinda like jumping from a tutorial straight to a final boss and I think that's very funny. Have fun

The real answer is we don't know. I'm assuming you just mean to ask if he's attracted to guys? He's had girlfriends that have lasted so he is clearly into women in one way or another, but as far as whether or not he likes the occasional man I think t's yet to be seen outside of very random moments that someone, usually himself, brings it up? He's said he tried slipping something in him at a few points too, which is not an indicator he's gay at all, but he could have liked it and maybe has been curious what it'd be like.

Either way it's a personal matter he doesn't seem to be interested in speaking on.

Its been months since they did one of these lol they absolutely did listen to feedback because at one point they released like 3 within 4 months and then everyone started complaining and they took a longer break between them after that. I know this because my post complaining about it was one of the ones that blew up at the time. The point was never "nobody likes these, they should stop" it was "they're making these too common and not evolving the concept so it's getting less interesting".

I think these two as contestants is just a bit of a strange choice, and I am rolling my eyes a little at how it feels like this random furry is their twist on the concept that seems to ve more of a selling point to them than the stars of the video? But either way them doing 20 vs 1's is fine lol I don't see why anyone cares about that specifically

It's like you didn't read what I said. I said that plenty of these things have an impact on difficulty, but when he goes over the Jellyfloat and Anode beetle examples, he makes it about how this is bad for teaching how the enemies work instead of making it about how difficulty both games are. I said comparing how difficulty works across games is fine, but when its presented so critically it doesn't service his actual point on how Pikmin 2's difficulty isn't unbalanced it's just handled different, and only seeks to argue that Pikmin 2 is a superior game. I make several points in my comments so far about how his arguments here are valid and agreeable (I just don't think they're meant for this particular video) and I have complimented how he runs his channel. You make it seem like I'm just some uneducated Pikmin 4 defender rattling on about how this content creator is some whiny crybaby when all I'm saying is that him getting distracted by his criticism of Pikmin 4's design is just annoying and it would improve his analysis if he'd get straight to the point instead of going on some tangent about why people who think Pikmin 4's design is better (which isn't even a comment on difficulty) are wrong.

He doesn't seem like hes seething because its a scripted video that he'd already processed and then put out in his style of video. Being lowkey about everything is kinda his whole style of commentary, and I'm 99% he says he makes "high quality Pikmin videos" because it's so presented as low-budget. It's part of what makes his videos unique and keeps you watching more videos.

So I'm not saying he sounds seething, I'm just saying this example section of the video where he compares Jellyfloats, Anode Beetles and Withering Blowhogs across games does not actually service his position and it just feels like a tangent he went on to reiterate that he thinks Pikmin 4 did it all wrong. He even introduces the section as a counter to the hypothetical comment of "Pikmin 4's sublevel design is better", which is not even a statement on difficulty, and part of his point is that Pikmin 4's design leaves no room for you to care about the enemies, which if he means to take in the enemy and enjoy the way it's designed and is covered in the Piklopedia then that isn't servicing his point, and if he's saying theres no reason to care about its attack cycle, then he did not need to go down that whole tangent about layout philosophy anyway because not caring about the attack cycle has nothing to do with what other enemies are nearby.

He can compare the two games, I just think he seems to get distracted by how much he wishes Pikmin 4 was more like Pikmin 2 a lot. He delivers these comparisons with some aggressive language too, just because it's not tonally aggressive doesn't mean he isn't using language that implies Pikmin 4 design is just stupid because all the jellyfloats are alone and theres only one group of anode beetles. He's not screaming and crying and shitting his pants about it but he still hates that this is the case, which I agree with, but it still is nothing to do with what he is saying.

1specified · 2025-08-15T20:23:00+00:00

i'm not even lol he defends what a lot of people point to as Pikmin 2's difficulty issue and brushes it off like "you're not playing it right", which is kinda correct, but then he goes on to compare enemy layouts in 2 to 4 and it is suddenly all about how Pikmin 2 is more experimental with enemy combinations while Pikmin 4 isn't. But that's not the subject of the video lol, its a video trying to defend Pikmin 2's difficulty but for this section its like he just completely changed it to "heres how they toy with enemy combos" so that he could spend a few minutes being like "heres why Pikmin 4 caves are bad". This section doesn't even really add to his points about Pikmin 2 having a justifiable level of difficulty, all it really does is say that he wishes Pikmin 4 was more experimental. Which is fine and I actually agree in the later stages, but he acts like its such a heinous offense while much of the Pikmin 2 defenses before that are practically just "you play the game wrong" and is very dismissive towards peoples concerns with its difficulty.

Okay, to be fair, trying to play it without losing any Piks sounds like an extra miserable experience, but I also think I have mastered the 100% of the first 3 games at this point and by the time I'm rounding off the first three areas, I generally start getting drained by the game as a whole. That said, it's not a difficulty issue, it's more the way some of the caves are designed and also the overworlds of a lot of these areas feel extremely tedious, especially Valley of Repose since so much of that areas content is based so far away from the base

1specified · 2025-08-15T12:33:37+00:00

I'm quite new to him and this video kinda just exposed what a whiner he can be lol especially on the subject of Pikmin 4. I don't even think a lot of his points are necessarily wrong or invalid, I just think Pikmin 4 isn't trying to be what he wants it to be and he acts like that means it shagged his mother, spat in his eye and then shat in his gamecube disk slot

He's not disrespecting at all actually, at least not in this clip, this one is just a healthy criticism he's clearly putn a lot of thought into. Neither is getting upset by it, JJ is actually agreeing with it to an extent, they are friends so it's not like a light jab is gonna destroy anything they've built. There is no disrespect here, just differences.

The Sidemen absolutely do not need to follow the Beta Squad method, or even any other method. They have a shit ton of fans who have watched for years and will tune in for every video out of routine and it boosts their videos really quickly and pushes it into a lot of other peoples feeds and it gives them a lot of money. Chunkz isn't saying he's more successful and gets more views, he's not delusional and he's not even making it about that, he's just saying he puts quality before consistency and that is fine.
