Not sure about the Stayin' Alive CS being your idea comepletly, remember there are millions of people all from different diversities suggesting games, but apart from that, you made good points, well done.

You did a very good job expressing your opinion in a clear and polite way, and i agree with you said for the most part. I myself subbed at 2M, and the first thing i saw was a to the moon video, so i get it when talk about him not being mainstream.

However, i think that its not his fault he became mainstream. i believe (and this is just my opinion) that he started to be percieved that way because other people started to imitate him, and of course theres nothing wrong with that. One who does not imitate anything acomplishes nothing.
On the other hand, him playing, as you well said, some over-the-top triple A title like deadpool contribute to this perception of him.

Some people say very lightly that this is because he doesnt "evolve". I personally think that "evolving" doesnt come much natural to human beings, once we feel comfortable we try not to change things. Moreover, evolving its not the same as changing yourself recklessly, thats just becoming a different person.

But in the end, he is still pewds, he still owns that old good magic. Mybe one day he will know how use it to the fullest again.

P.S: And by the way nostalgia is like that, we usually think about only the good things about the past, and so ,we think is better than the present.

I agree with you on this one he seems to have lost his touch on his latest lets plays like deadpool I mean the game was funny but it felt like he wasn't being himself for some reason. I'm not being a hater but hey not everyone can be perfect.

It great to see a very old bro still on the forums. I subscribe at about the ???k+ mark (can't remember, but it was early hundreds of thousands). It's also great to hear abou people who have managed to get pewds to play a suggested game. Surprisingly, I suggested Pewdie and Marzia to play Get on Top, a game made by the same guy who made QWOP. I was fucking stoked. If you need proof, look it up on youtube, and check the description. The profile name will match with the description name.



I understand your problem with pewdie branching out from his original content. We can't help him for it, people evolve and adapt to new environments, in this case, as new games come out, pewdie will change, and not stick to just amnesia.

About the horror games part, Pewds said that he just doesn't get scared that much from, say, Amnesia anymore. That's why he doesn't play Amnesia - well, that, and the fact that he outplayed the game already, there's not much to it anymore.

You sir is brilliant at writing these whole points, thoughts and such.
Here have some reputation

You gave your opinion in a really great and nice way. And I have been subscribed since he was around 2 mil but I wold watch man of his videos before that (I thought youtube subscriptions were like something you had to pay for). But yes his videos have changed slightly because of his extremely large fan base and now a lot of them are little kids. But in his strategy and horror games I remember just watching and laughing at him getting scared and confused on parts, I loved to see him just walk around trying to figure out what to do. It was just one of the best things watching him play the entire game through, every part he got stuck at and when he would sort of deny looking up cheats. But still I find his videos amazingly funny and he will always be my favourite person on YouTube. I guess thats my nostalgic view

I do highly agree about the "PewDiePie material"I used to watch him a long time ago. What those new fans don't get is games that are suitable for Felix, like you said,happy wheels was perfect for him. They want him to play games they enjoyed, which might no be nice to watch him play it. I really enjoyed Assassin's Creed 3, but I would definitely not enjoy watching him play it.

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that thinks that the Retsupurae Incident forced him to change. I still wish that Pewds didn't say "your views only give me more cash lolololol" and retorted with a simple "Go fuck yourself". That would have sufficed.

I couldn't agree more with you. I don't think this is about nostalgia, I started to watch PewDiePie because of his unique style and his funny way to bright up horror games. Now, I just don't know. I skip a lot of parts in his videos because I'm just not interested, and before I watched every second of them, outro included (ah, that outro with the animated bros...)
And I would even say now he just edits too much. I enjoyed the style where he played the games, tried to solve puzzles and we were able to see it, if I wasn't interested I was just gonna skip. I never liked too much edits
His channel right now more than a gaming channel became a "Smosh" of videogames, where he makes fun of them and cuts off various gameplay parts. I just seriously miss the old pewds

This is a nice topic,
I get why you call the 12 year olds idiots.
But i was subscribed to him when he just had like 700k and at that time i was 12 and was not like the other 12year olds because i like the fact he played games i didn't know and isn't a mainstream CoD player (i know it was his first vid but he didn't continued it long) or something like that. The bad words and "nasty" behaviour was the funniest thing always but i was mature enough to realise that it was not good to copy that IRL. I now hate it that all those people of my age are stupid. just read the topic i made and that would make this reply clearer

Those 8 year old kids are not even knowing what they do, they just watch him because he is popular.
they probably don't know he is called Felix....

peace

Like many other people said, I'm constantly skipping through the videos.

Even in really good series, I find myself doing this.

Although, if he didn't cut out the puzzle solving parts, like people suggested, there's going to be a LOT of complaining.

In fact, I think people would be even more bored because of various reasons.
