However, anyone blindly judging a game based on a 10-minute video and making it their opinion doesn’t seem worth raging at anyway.ĭunkey has a record of disliking JRPGs such as Final Fantasy VII Remake, Octopath Traveler, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Many of the scenes are taken out of context and rightfully seem ridiculous in the video. “The concern is that his huge fanbase of drones will latch onto the cherry-picking/low-hanging fruit jokes in the video, and they’ll become talking points among those that haven’t played it for years.” “What don’t understand is that nobody cares about the Dunkey vid itself,” one Twitter user wrote. However, when mean-spirited fans take a content creator’s opinion and push it in others’ faces as a truth, then it becomes a problem.
Dunkey doesn’t need to like Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Others claim that the problem isn’t even Dunkey himself or the spoilers, but his fans. Dunkey fans argue that those planning on playing the game shouldn’t have clicked the video if they didn’t want any spoilers.Īt the same time, there wasn’t any warning that spoilers would be included. (Don’t click the link unless you want to see the spoiler.) Dunkey has since deleted the post, but his fans are now spreading the spoiler in Xenoblade fans’ replies to annoy them.ĭunkey also spoiled parts of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in his video, though the lack of context might make it difficult for them to be classified as “real spoilers.” It contains content all the way into Chapter 5, which is more than halfway through the story. He apparently revealed a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 spoiler, which angered those who hadn’t finished the game and had part of the ending spoiled for them. Those who just watched the video are missing the part of the outrage that stems from a spoiler Dunkey posted on his Twitter after his upload without any warning. You have to hear voice lines like Lanz’s remarks when finding a “rare doodad” or Sena’s grating “I’m the girl with the gall!” repeated over and over again throughout your 100-hour playthrough.
Many of the criticisms are fair points that other games journalists have also brought up. All the other gaming videos are meant to quickly encapsulate what it was like to play the game for him, which his Xenoblade Chronicles 3 video does. “Why can’t that same modicum of respect be given to JRPGs?” they asked.Īny long-time Dunkey fan should know that he reserves his serious critiques for his “dunkview” videos. “You wouldn’t criticize a musical because it has singing or flamboyant characters, you’d respect the genre and artform for what it is and simply say it isn’t for me.” “Out of context pop-shots, endgame spoilers with no spoiler warning, just an altogether meanspirited and unfunny mess of a video,” one unamused viewer wrote.
