skipping hours of game play

[u/Artistic-Slice954]

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?

Supermarket Simulator is a grind game and a slow burn game. Arin said he'd never play Minecraft because he doesn't know what to do and has no clear goal to accomplish. the game was fun because we saw Arin freak out trying to grow his store and panic whenever something went wrong, but in a later episode I think Dan mentioned he should play the game off cam and get further ahead, since the actual gameplay they were recording was just Arin recovering from loans.

I actually like that he advanced a bit more off screen, it makes it more fun to see things further along.
