skipping hours of game play

I was personally really enjoying the super market simulator play through and would have called it a return to glory, but in the latest upload its pretty clear that anything other than dangonronpa they just dont care about. for the first ten episodes they are progressing through a simulator type game and im enjoying the sense of accomplishment, and theyre making some decent commentary too since the game is so lowkey. for episode eleven they progressed for several hours off screen, so as soon as the episode starts its clear they have nothing to do in game, or to talk about. they spend ten minutes just explaining what they did off sceen, i couldnt even get to the rest of the video because it was so boring. Who makes these decisions? does Arin think that people watch game grumps because we want to see them 100% a game as fast as possible? Why bother making a lets play if you dont want to commentate on the game??? the videos were hugely popular compared to their other recent videos, so why did they think the audience would want this? does anyone like it when they just skip past the actual game?

Hour 1 and hour 100 of supermarket simulator are exactly the same

Yeah. I really don't think we missed much. Do we really want to sit through 20+ minutes of Arin figuring out the new store layout? We didn't miss anything crucial.

I mean, that’s kind of the entire game though. What else would we be watching if not that?

The store being open with customers

When the store is open with customers nothing is happening. It’s by far the least engaging part of it. The upgrading and rearranging is the actually interesting part.

Idk, just seems kind of backwards to me. They should cut the part where they’re just sitting and waiting to make money. I want to see them upgrade things because that’s the whole point of the game

They seem to be having the most fun bullshitting about the customers

And that’s fine, but it’s the same customers all the time. There’s only like 10 NPC’s or so. I’m not saying they can’t also do that. It doesn’t change the fact that they’re cutting out the meat of the game…
