PewDiePie's new game is out on Steam...

It's clearly a vehicle for in-jokes but for as shit as licensed stuff can get, it looks way better than I expected.

I don't know much about Pewdiepie and I've only seen a few of his videos but from a gameplay perspective it looks like it could be fun. Like it you said it's a vehicle for in game jokes and most would probably go over my head.

It reminds me of the AVGN game where imo it turned out to be a solid platformer with some good jokes from his series but if you weren't familiar with his show you may not get the point of the game.
 
Huh, I don't watch PewDiePie, but he never struck me as being a bro. Always thought he looked more like a hipster.

Must be nice to have a full-fledged game based on yourself like this & the AVGN's, especially if it's a solid one in its own right.
 
You've got to be kidding me.

At least it's doesn't look offensively bad. As much as I dislike tone, and all the "bro" stuff, I'm sure it has and audience.
 
There is a single positive thing i can say about this game.

It actually exists and Pewdiepie didnt rob his fanbase of money like the Yogscast did.
Yup. I would be kind of pissed off if Eurogamer continued giving Yogscast their own booth, panel, and all that malarkey at their EGX convention after what happened.

Bros are what he calls his fans and ends every video with a bro fist .
 
I'm glad the developers paid close attention to their pixel art aesthetic and didn't use non-integer upscales that would produce images where some rows/columns of pixels are thinner or thicker than their neighbors, and that I'm not at all quoting an image of them doing precisely the opposite and making a sarcastic remark to highlight it.

Still, not sure how I feel about people condemning the game just because it based on a celebrity. The game itself looks pretty good.

Hating PewDiePie or popular youtube people is the new "I don't watch TV because it's basic entertainment for sheeple" trend from the 2000s.

People just want to be cool and edgy, man.

Im conflicted because the hate for Pewds is far in excess of the poor quality of his show which makes me want to knee-jerk defend him, but at the same time he really is a moron.
 
How is this any different from the AVGN game or Penny Arcade?
Why all the fake outrage with this one?
GAF's jealous. That's all there is to it.

They see a guy they dislike who's extremely successful at what he does, and don't feel he works hard enough to have earned any of it.
 
Sooo... is the game good?

I'd love to be a moron then. I must be a trillion levels lower on the moron pole, because I am not nearly as successful, don't have millions of people waiting to see what games I play daily and dammit I don't have my own game and never will. :/
 
I have this on my iPod and it's pretty sweet. Plenty of content, feels good to move around, bounce off enemies.

I don't get any of the references 'cos I don't watch PewDiePie. But this is a well-made, if kind of simple 2D platformer.

Quoting because I love this sentence from the beginning to its end.
 
I respect his Dark Souls gameplay videos but hate much of what else he does. At times he makes me ashamed of my own bro humor.
 
It's not something that overly appeals to me mostly because I find a few of the YouTube ''celebrities'' to be a little obnoxious but..... The game seems well made and if people want to buy and play it then who the fuck am I to judge?
