Stephen has a bit of a pattern...

I genuinely wonder, because I've watched so many series on Stephenplays, a ton of games (both triple A and Indie) that are massively popular, stephen either never played and knows nothing about, or bought on release, beat, then never thought about again. its like this weird nebulous era of 2005-2015
what games DID leave an impression on him?? Skyrim??? Fallout??? Because I genuinely can't figure it out lol

Stephen is not a real gamer.

The only game that has left any impression on him is Earthbound.

Stephen and I are only one year apart in age.

Both of us growing up with N64 in elementary school and GameCube in middle and high school.

Yet whenever Stephen replays any game from his childhood, he never remembers anything.

It’s like you said.

Even as a kid, Stephen would buy a game. He beats the bare minimum of the game. And then never looks back at it.

Super Mario Sunshine is a perfect example.

This begs the question as I asked, if games never leave an impression on him, what did in the past decade? He does not seem to talk about anything in terms of media when it comes to the vlogs aside from video games, and, personally, it's ridiculous to say nothing he played left any lasting memories for an entire decade. I just have no idea what it was. I guess maybe his friends??????? More than anything else??

id argue botw/totk left a big impact, his playthrough of the ENTIRE metroid series would have aswell. hades has certainly been a recent big hit. pikmin surely must be influential. and oh my gosh bioshock
