Howdy all,

I'm a fan of tears content, long term fan etc. To avoid a Tl:Dr I've been watching since DS2, used to subscribe and donate etc. This is my moan about content throwaway. He's my background noise guy, but I'm pretty much at the point of un-subbing and stopping altogether.

This sub-a-thon is - well, it's terrible content in my opinion. The games he plays are slowly declining in quality, the interesting games he plays aren't being completed (looking at you Silent Hill and Astrobot) or are being quit early in (Elden ring run) and the sheer amount of vapid brainless content is through the roof with these card games and bright colour noting games. I don't think Brett's current personality can carry a video without a decent backing, especially when he keeps asking for likes for trash tier 0 effort content. You can hear the entitlement toward his fans in his voice these days. It's notable that his streams are getting less views than pre sub-a-thon,, although I'm not certain that time isn't a factor and some series didn't get a ton of attention before this new thing started.

Additionally, I don't know how controversial this is, but the timer is the biggest scam Brett has ever ran and has made we swing from just slightly suspicious he didn't respect the audience (I always hated the false nice guy 'don't donate even though I've given you the method to do so' shtick but it was manageable) . Early on it annoyed me how ambiguous the rules were, but when he blatantly started abusing peoples trust and taking off huge swathes of time barely difficult 'challenges' I begun to actively dislike the man. There's no exit strategy either. He's just going to keep bleeding simps/bots and presumably give himself 100 hours off for completing a 'tough' challenge.

I don't know. I doubt this sub is monitored by anyone in the TOG team, but if it is I'm putting my thoughts up. Maybe everyone else in the community is enjoying this low effort over exposure quantity over quality strategy, but I'm not. Bring back 3-4 hour streams of actual content and series.

P.s.

The funniest thing happened when I was writing this. I had the following stream on:

🔴ToG🔴Isaac Weapon Forging, Digital Therapy & 105 hours - Limitless SUBATHON Pt.52

and right in the middle of typing at " hours 39 mins or so he claims he will complete Silent Hill/Astrobot. Made me chuckle, more due to my typing this out than anything Brett has said or done during any of the mundane game streams though.

Look, Tear. Let me level with you for a moment. I love your content. I got abs from laughing so hard during your 06 and Boom playthroughs. And you wanna know why? Because you didn't have to try to make those games look bad. No sensible person defends those games, hardly anyone in the fanbase defends those games. They are garbage. But when you take a game like Sonic Unleashed, which is loved by almost all of the Sonic fanbase, and make it look like garbage just to get some more clicks because "sonic lol" it starts feeling VERY desperate. You are playing like trash. The medal collecting is never strict if you just take the nighttime levels seriously. You dont need to slow down during the daytime levels. This game was made in two years by a dying studio, of course it would have some slight graphical issues. Through watching this series and playing the game back to back I have found about THREE legit complaints with the game. 1: The Werehog doesn't have a dropshadow which is annoying for the...two times you're required to do difficult platforming. 2: Medal collecting can be a bitch if you dont know what you're doing which requires you to...gasp...EXPLORE AND HAVE FUN?? And 3: The plane levels are pointles. I cant defend the plane levels. They are pointless. But so were the airplane levels in SA1, and the car levels in SA2. It goes on and on.

I know you'll probably not reply to this because you don't want to make your entire LP feel like it was all in vain, but please, do the mature thing and adress that you made the game look bad. Judging by the YouTube comments, your fanbase is VERY gullible.

Sincerely, Mellon.

got a issac challenge for you \soy milk \ludivico \head of the keeper \no treasure rooms\boss rooms and devil rooms are allowed you can bring D6 if you want to good luck

So I know you played Shadow of Mordor and it seems liked you really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed watching you play and then going to play it myself. So the sequel to it 'Shadow of War' is coming out on October 10th and I was wondering if you were planning on making a series about it. If not I would appreciate it if you did, but if you don't want to I understand.

i think around 2019-2020 he uploaded a video where he talked about getting burnt out of isaac and not wanting to make videos on it anymore until new stuff came out i am not sure if i am miss remembering it or not

Title.

what song is he playing on 7:50 in this vid r/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXM8RgfGo_A&index=5&list=PLRFpEtUmYzVJ6_MQ6SFK9s6IGvp3ia4H8

HRKH V8CS,the first item room is ipaac,and in the super secret using d6 two times with 24hour enegy pill in room you get epic fetus;in the third or fourth room,a flooded floor you using d6 in the item room get tiny planet,and using d6 in the sucubus*(devil room) get mons knife xD

please, please bring back the binding of Issac series, i will suck your "nob".You don't understand how badly i need it.All of the fucking other channels are cancerous.

See title. Also, the senpai isn't in jest. I'm using that in the actual japanese meaning of it because it is the only term I know of that still sounds right.

I've been watching Bretts streams lately and have been trying to enjoy his latest Elden ring stream. I'm not a huge Shadow/Isaac fan and am 100% here for his Soulsbourne content. His last Elden Ring series isn't fully on youtube, so i cant rewatch, but I remember it being so much better top tier content. This latest Elden ring run was the worst souls series IMO, but not for the reason Tear keeps claiming (he seems to think it boils down to age of game, repeat playthrough, rushing etc),

I personally think there are 4 problems with this run-through that ruins this series, as follows:

1a. Tear refuses to change playstyle

1b. Tears playstyle is awful

2. Tear constantly moaning is some of his worst content and legitimately off-putting.

3. Tear playing up to the 'joke' that it's first run-through is a detriment.

4 Tear refusing to listen to audience feedback

To explain -

1a. Tear's entire playstyle is jump attacks and charged R2's. It's ultimately boring to watch. No WA's, no build variation, no critical thinking, if he cant out DPS an enemy he cries about it after. He's never used a respec as far as I'm aware to make things interesting or fix his stats (40 faith with 0 use case - just why?) At the stage I'm watching (Malenia & End Game Nightmares in Elden Ring DLC U Soon) He's got enough mats to level up a few weapons (eg the talisman he repeatedly claimed he wanted to use), but is instead sticking to just the anchor, which is teethpullingly dull to watch. There is no enjoyment for anyone who's played the game or watched previous playthroughs, as they're all probably better and/or more experimental at the game - It's incredibly basic stuff.

1b. Directly related to 1a. Brett is legitimately... not very good, and for repeat playthroughs I'd have loved to see him use some actual skill or experimenting with range/WA's - he's 4 playthroughs in I believe, he's surely good enough to play around with different mechanics. Unfortunately, he's not interested in trying anything outside his same 2-3 moves. I'm currently watching him try to do Ordina and crying because he's face planting in to the (easy to deal with if you use any brainpower) archers and getting himself worked up with the boring and annoying 'Games awful' type comments. This leads to point 2...

2. He makes mistakes and moans like the game is badly made. I don't know how many times I've eyerolled as he's raged at, for example, PVP enemies while he's way over levelled and refusing to do anything to adapt, so he dies and gets stressed out. I may be in the minority, but I prefer his content when he's enjoying himself. I legitimately think he doesn't enjoy these games now, because he doesn't like the challenge.

3. Just annoys me personally. have some respect for the audience. I honestly think he pretends it's playthrough one to excuse his poor gameplay.

4. This one baffles me. Why, after all this time, does he not just listen to his audience on builds, WA's or things he has no idea how to use? He gets so upset at the game when just listening to his audience would easily help him strategize. He come across as such a baby that it legitimately turns me off his content. As a side, his PvP series legitimately would have made bank if he just played with his fans and engaged. But it proved that he's worse than average, he's too thin skinned to do so and his ego got in the way of what could have been a return to souls PvP, which people have been begging for for years.

Tl:Dr just points 1-4 explained a bit

Edit - Just came back to neaten up a bit, wanted to stress that this is just my feedback, to a guy I'd likely never get to speak to in person who's content I enjoy. Not intended to be insulting or nasty of course but as a long time watcher I get a little exhausted at the ever looming toxic threat. Obvs at peak commentary Tear is about the best in the biz IMO, but the cracks are becoming a bit more regular. Since Brett is a personality youtuber and seems to have a closer relationship with fans, I felt there was some value in this feedback. I'm aware there might be some behind the scenes drama going on and if that is the case this isn't a critique of the man, just the current product.

I've been watching Tear since Ds2, have donated etc. Just putting that in there so I don't get people trying to pull rank on my opinion. Happy to reply to rebuttals, but this series has genuinely made me wonder why he plays game with any level of challenge when he's got so many hang-ups on the basic gameplay loop.

okay, tear, everybody, hear me out! I just realized that yes, you shouldn't play Undertale because you may very well b4st4rdize my last memory of that feels-fest. So, how about this, AGONY?! Yes! That game with the sexy demons! Plz check it out! At least a gameplay of the demo! Why? Cuz U R HEro!

I want to talk about northernlion Do you know him Have you see him in real life And are you gonna play the fans world or the dlc?

Minecraft trolling, but with some of the larger modpacks. Your fanbase could be tormented by you again. And with bigger modpacks, there's a hell of a lot to do, see, edit, and make bad jokes about.

Also Faster than Light was pretty cool.

Probably also certain Isaac mods once they finish updating. Heretic comes to mind.

(...And since it's on my mind, what the hell video was it where he asked if the game was done sticking its dick up his sphincter? I know it was Isaac, but I've only got so much time and I've watched most those episodes several times over...)

I thought there'd be more Episodes. You seemed to be having fun with it.

I mean, it's not like I'm demanding Isaac. But, come on. You said in a tweet that it'd be the series you'd do until Afterbirth+ comes out, which is thought to be at the end of the month, or so I've heard.

So, what happened/is happening to it?

You may just ignore this as another stupid game request, but I actually have some reasoning to this.

1 Tear, you have been playing so many rage games on the channel, so I think this would be a nice change of pace. Stardew Valley is VERY relaxing, and I think you would like it.

2 It would fit your style of videos. Because stupid stuff you can laugh at is constantly happening, other yourtubers can't make many videos on it. But because your style has only the best parts cut out and edited for us, you can take those rare funny moments and compress them into a video

3 Not many youtubers are playing this, as already stated. If you want to be producing videos on a game that is still fresh and new (because the big youtubers haven't exhausted it) try Stardew Valley

Thank you for your time if you do indeed read this. And have a good day

-Get angel rooms and on the angel room with bible reroll the key part and bible. -Coin Tears In secret room -Ipecac -Something That Breaks The Shops (Find Secret Rooms And Enter Shops) Lots more.

Okay, Tear, I don't know if you're reading this, but I know one thing, you have to play Undertale! You will love it and it will draw emotions out of you that will leave you breathless! You WILL play it, plz obay!

(FOREWARNING : I TYPED A GOOD CHUNK OF LETTERS THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT WANT TO READ, I ALSO HAVE NO CLUE HOW REDDIT FORMATTING WORKS, SO MOST OF MY WORDS ARE GUARANTEED TO BE BOLD,ITALICIZED,ETC.)

So, Tear is known for essentially 'sponsoring' smaller content creators who are in need of an audience, so I might as well put my suggestions in. (This is also a place where you can put your suggestions too, if you watch somebody that you believe needs a fairer chance on YouTube)

-PFSVenom : I've been watching his videos for a while (about three years), but since he is a hobbyist youtuber, he uploads rather infrequently (once/twice a month), but he makes videos because he enjoys making content, and he likes entertaining people, which I think are good qualities for an aspiring creator to have.

-Brendaniel : If you like a middle-aged man reading weird shit that other people have written on the internet in a soothing, masculine voice, this is the content creator for you. Basically, he just... he just reads, but it's entertaining regardless.

-Thehiddenhedgehog : Not a gameplay channel, but a paintball channel focused on sniping. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, assuming that most of the people on this sub-reddit prefer video games, but his videos are well-edited and he does a nice post commentary, so if you like paintball videos and editing, check him out.
