Now We're Getting MOVING │ Castlevania ReVamped #5

To answer Jared's question as to why I watch: Because of your commentary. I'm not a fan of the overly excited and fake enthusiasm of most "popular" streamers. It just rings hollow to me. But you have both a chill and interesting string of commentary throughout the entirety of your videos that's just enough to keep my interest without going overboard. Even your "mistakes" are part of the reason I watch. For example, I can't stand speedruns because the player already knows everything about the game, meaning there's no legitimate excitement about any aspect of the game. Having you mess up, learn (well let's be real, SOMETIMES he learns xD), and then have another go at it--that's simply another reason to watch. All in all, you are the epitome of what I consider a classic and great form of let's play that you can't really find anymore because everyone is too worried about being the next over-the-top personality. And those that are genuine aren't favored by the algorithm, making them impossible to find. So, I'll be here for as long as you keep playing interesting games.

Losing your mind while backtracking is part of the core experience of any metroidvania worth playing

0:39 Because you're relatable, and to watch you pick up another ten arrows in a Zelda randomizer.

0:33 I like to watch the funny man say the funny ha ha words while he plays the funny whip game.

Jared is funny, thoughtful, engaging, insightful, empathetic, and caring. Company doesn't get better than that.

My favourite thing about you is your perseverance. You come back to deliver quality content, non-stop, where all my other favourites quit.

ENCHANTED TRADER: "Ah, here you are again, Mr. Jared. Spend your money wisely. Don't waste it on something you can't use yet..." Damn you, Jared. ;P

I know how it feels. But honestly, that's what makes the Metroidvania games so great. You get lost in track, only to found out what you need to do and after completing it, you can replay it to do better. That's what I love about this genre.

I have to sing the same chorus as everyone else, Jared. You aren't dumb at all. And you're easily my favorite let's player on YouTube, for what it's worth. You're always honest about the games and try to actually play the games – not get stuck on one horrid bit for 20 minutes of a 30 minute episode and run around in circles. Without trying to oversell it, I appreciate your style and humor, dude.

I wonder if the "gain health after a few hits" card counts every individual flame whip hit. If so, that would be an incredibly powerful combo. Edit: guess he had the same idea

13:45 The 'Ghostly Eyeball' is from Simon's Quest. It does indeed look like the Eyeball from Terraria though.

Honestly dude, take your time and fumble around all you want. This is a really fun playthrough to watch!

No Knock back is the FIRST thing I wanted in Castlevania.

My dude, you're not dumb. You're human. You make mistakes, you forget things. It's fine, it happens to even the best of us. Don't be so hard on yourself.

"Lord knows you don't watch this because I'm smart" Jared, sir, I have been thinking this for years. But there is absolutely NO ONE ELSE I will scream at the screen for like you. You're like the home sports team and everything that comes alongside it. Yes, there are some days I cannot finish your videos. There are some days I want to take the controller away from you, and there are some days where you do asinine things. But I always watch you do them, for better and for worse. Keep making stuff if you want, I'll watch 'em. Maybe angrily, but I'll watch.

To be fair, the location of the item needed for actual progress was fairly obscure.

22:17 funniest line from ProJared this year so far

I watch Jared for the nostalgia, and not just for the retro game nostalgia , but the experience of being a kid, sitting a couch with a big brother, or friend or my one gaming Uncle, and they are telling stories and making jokes while you play a game together. The people I did that with as a kid aren’t around anymore, but I can still get a similar experience watching Jared and he treats the audience like we are right there with him

I watch because my Brain can no longer play games anywhere this well, but I still find the game enjoyable. It’s like a 50year old watching a football game when he played in high school

Tbh any frustration is ultimately undone by love of videogames. Nobody who doesn't love videogames would make a taser noise when they press the attack button.
