It's not overly detailed. He just doesn't care of the style of his videos it seems. He references the Death Stranding video where Dunkey said the game was trash and was deliberately throwing himself off ledges to demonstrate the point.

I find myself agreeing. I've watched Dunkey stuff and I'm just not sure who it's for. It's part criticism, part playing a character, part deliberately finding things to make jokes about, and part trying too hard to come up with comedic moments to make a silly voice at.

I just started watching him and I find him pretty good. It's easy to tell when he's joking and when he's making a legitimate point if you can parse tone or just don't have a hate-on for the guy.

Oh and I also should mention the reason that Dunkey's in the general conversation is because he casually spoiled the ending to Xenoblade 3 and then pretended he didn't.

Did he only spoil Rex being a gigachad part or did he legitimately spoil the ending? >_>

I basically operate on the premise of taking any video that doesn't say Dunkview on it with a grain of salt and knowing that even if he legitimately doesn't like a game, he's still going to play it up for comedy.

And also the fact that like a Dunkey is pretty open about what he likes and dislikes in video games. Like if you opened his XC3 video were not expecting him to be making fun of it, that's kind of on you.

There's a very clear line between a serious dunkey review and a joking one, and it still blows my mind that in this day and age people can look at his content and not see the difference.

Even the dunkviews - which are less shitposty and more his actual opinion - still has discord from people, though.

And his Death Stranding one was a dunkview

Well sure, it's not like everybody is going to agree with him in every point, but I also don't think he's ever presented himself as anything other than a guy who's played a lot of video games sharing his opinion on youtube. People are acting like he should have his "credentials" stripped away when I'm pretty sure he would be the first person to tell those people that they should probably not be taking his opinion so seriously in the first place.

I just looked it up, looks like he posted that picture in your spoiler tag with the text "what does this mean?"

I don't even know how that picture is considered a spoiler. I beat the game, and that image has no relevance to the story and it's only shown on screen for a second, it's basically an Easter egg.

dunkey is fun because he clearly enjoys games, but doesn't take them so seriously in his videos. Blurring the line between shit posting and criticism is part of the band. I think I disagree with most of his gaming opinions, but I enjoy the content, particularly when he takes the piss out of games I enjoy (like Death Stranding).

From what I heard, it has nothing to do with XC3's plot and is just a "where are they now" from XC2

I watched a live stream of dunkey playing some JRPG game and seeing him sigh and face palm when he saw an anime trope. He then goes and complains about the dialogue because it was clearly written by people who don't know how to talk to actual people. There was a lot of people in the chat who were obviously pissed, but I think Dunkey is open about his dislike for JRPG.

Surprisingly, I think the biggest hate Dunkey has ever gotten was his TLOU2 review, which was a positive one lol.

Dunkey has a problem with taking criticism, AND has a rabid diehard fanbase. It's not a great look.

His non-JRPG vids are usually fine though.

I don't really care about the spoilers (though it is shitty if he really did that), but the negativity is just tiresome. I don't know how to describe it but it feels like one step away from a certain type of "gamer" toxicity, and it's made me tired of him in general at this point, even though I used to enjoy his positive videos.

Plus it's annoying how fans try to have it both ways, saying he is a serious good critic if it's a nice review but also that if he says something bad it's your fault for taking it seriously even though he clearly cherry picks, which cheapens the legitimate critiques that are there.

Also I think back to his elitist "done making good videos" run, which I realize was a while ago, but in hindsight helps paint the picture of how he views himself much in the same way as his fans do. He did have a lot of good points there about crappy YouTube content but dude just makes gaming videos lmao, it's not like he's some intellectual

It's particularly bad in XB's case because there's a huge outcry of "anti-weeb"ism, particularly with XB2, when the series has always been like that.

Not to mention the double standards of series like Yakuza also having these silly moments, but also having a serious main plot.

And dunkey's fans just feed into the bait, like this tweet.
