Didn't love this video, but everyone has already made the video-specific points I'd have wanted to.

I said this to others earlier, but this video had me wondering if Dan and Phil of 2014 ever thought they'd have ended up at this point: releasing a video on their gaming channel that's so shallow and strange that I would hesitate to even call it a game.

By no means am I shooting this video down. I'm sure there's a significant portion of the audience that thoroughly enjoyed this (and another equally big portion, myself included, who are happy to watch Dan and Phil interact in any capacity), but like... I just don't get it?

At this point, I'm not necessarily asking them to play anything intense. I think I'm finally waving the white flag on FPS games, but I don't think it's reaching for me to ask them to just.... play a real game.

I'd love to agree with this, because the sheer amount of content they're putting out is incredible, but I just took a look at the last 10 games they released and it made me sad. I'm sure plenty of people will disagree, but game-wise, the only thing that really comes close to a proper action game is the golfing one? Sims is definitely a major game, but I've come to accept that Dil is hanging around for the views and not the game play.

I have no idea why this bothers me so much tbh. In the grand scheme of things, I'm really just here for the Phan interaction. I think I'm just really desperate for them to actively play each other at something. That's the fun in a co-hosted gaming channel, is it not? Not to read me a chapter of 50 Shades of Neigh.

Honestly, how much do I have to pay Carl?

My one positive note is that Phil is adorable in the last few videos. He seems to be coming into himself a bit more. It's refreshing.

I'll join the dissenters. I liked the video! Something about the absurdity of the situation makes it really funny to me, and I think to them as well.

Also, yes to Phil's up close and personal voice. Mmm. Makes me desire a reverse hoof encounter

For me it seems like our options are:

a) Dan and Phil play games we want them to play, but are fairly miserable through the process and have a game ruined for them. Dan especially is hyperaware of people being critical of his game playing, as evidenced by all the times he tries to preempt people telling him he's doing things wrong.

b) Dan and Phil play games they're comfortable playing, but as a result only pick games that people are very unlikely to critique gameplay of - either because there's little skilled gameplay involved or because the game is so absurd that there would be no way to be properly good at it anyway, or the point isn't really to be good because no one takes it seriously.

I don't for a second think Dan is going to drop his insecurities and handle letting an audience rip him apart while he's playing something he's really invested in. They are not gamers doing youtube to show off their skill and passion for gaming, they are youtubers playing games to be entertaining to a fanbase.

welp im guess in the odd part of this topic but i enjoy their horse game series. sure it's a bit... odd? but i don't think it's bad. i couldn't see them doing 10 or 13 videos of this, no but i could see them doing a few more here and there. and i mean, like someone said previously it's not like they're the only videos they're uploading. there are videos inbetween and whatnot. anyways uh. i like this series. it's cute and odd but i find it endearing in a weird way.

I have such conflicted feelings. I enjoyed the video (but then again I'm ), I just wouldn't personally enjoy the game.

I'm old and not a gamer, so I don't "get" gaming to begin with, but I hear what some folks here are saying "hey, play some games ffs!!" and they don't like it. Some people may be put off by the whole concept of a girl/horse dating simulator, which I can understand. No matter how "open" we might like to think we are, that can be weird. I guess it doesn't really bother me because I'm not here for a "game" to begin with.

What I find myself enjoying is how open Phil seems to be to the whole concept (#philsafurry confirmed) and how interested he is in finding out what happens next -- for purely scientific reasons, I'm sure . And I'm enjoying Dan's reactions to Phil. He just seems so fond and pleased that Phil's enjoying it.

I'll admit, I don't read the comments, twitter or tumblr, so I don't really have a feel for what the phandom thinks about these videos, but for them to call it a "series" on the 2nd episode is pretty telling. They're into it, and I guess that's all I need. The whole premise is pretty absurd, and provides more than ample context for humor, so the "bants" probably come easily.

I agree alittledizzy, excellent point (bolded part) Dan's very aware, (so they both are), and they know their fans are critical when it's obvious they aren't enjoying what they are doing, so they aren't going to play something that would bring a sh*tstorm of criticism. They are here to entertain us. If they're enjoying themselves at the same time, it's a win/win.

I think the bluntest response is that Dan needs to grow up a little. If you're gonna have a gaming channel, you're gonna have criticism on how you play games. But setting that aside, I also think there's a healthy middle to be found. There are games that can be played that are both fun, short, and silly, and are also legit games. Mario Kart balloon battles come to mind first - I highly doubt that's a miserable experience and it's also not a flash game.

I realize I'm being super bitter, but part of me almost feels like there's a level of laziness going on here. Like setting up screen-recording on a console is more difficult and you might as well just load up another flash game or app.

DEFFO an unpopular opinion but i am ALL OVER these videos. I have no idea what it is, something about this game really entertains and intrigues me. It generates great commentary in my opinion and is also lighthearted and silly. I think the plot of the app is hilarious and I'm all for it. 13 episodes? Hell yeah!
alittledizzy wrote:I feel like this game is Phil's diabolical plan to situation himself so that no one thinks twice when he says how attractive a man is. Because damn, forget SusanKun, Phil is thirsty for that horse prince - and Dan and Phil both want everyone to know it.
Yo that is so true he said towards the end "would you let a horse do that to you if he had that face?" but like the tone of voice he used sounded more like "wouldn't you let him?" It sounded like a duh, you would be cool w the horse too if he was that hot, just like I would.

Yeah, I'm not disturbed or weirded out by it at all. And I don't have the highest weirdness tolerance ever.
000dia000 wrote:What I felt really insulted by was their acknowedlgement of this series dividing opinion and audience enjoyment, they're aware of it not being as popular as other videos/series. Yet, even with this confirmation and knowledge they STILL went ahead and continued the series.
On the flip side, I think this move could help hold a casual audience. Casual audiences prefer shorter videos. I'm not sure about series episodes, but I think a casual audience that likes a vlogger and prefers shorter videos would also feel the same way about series episodes. I don't have *much* evidence to support this claim but I remember back in the day youtubers would give tips to aspiring youtubers and they often said to keep it short, around 4 minutes. I also feel like shorter videos end up pulling higher view counts, but I haven't actually done any data analysis on that.

Also, I think that Youtubers doing their own thing is attractive to some audiences or viewers. Jacksepticeye for example plays a lot of different games even if they don't always harbor the highest viewcounts. I remember specifically he made a Spyro series that I was very interested in. It had terrible view counts, but he said in one of the videos that he was going to keep doing it because he really enjoyed it. I think this appeals to people because it shows that the youtuber 1. enjoys their work and 2. is not just trying to cater to audiences. Y'know? Maybe I'm babbling.

I agree!! I was happy about how well they handled it, even the second one that was clearly showing Dan and Phil in a romantic setting.

Also I came here because alittledizzy told me to post this little convo I made up that the Sketch manager had with his employees:
Sketch manager: Okay guys meeting in the break room after shift
Employees: ugh why
Manager: just come
*Later*
*Sketch employees huddled in the break room*
Manager: So, it has come to my attention that some of our clientelle is famous.
Employees: …
Manager: Erm, on Youtube. Famous on Youtube.
Employees: …
Manager: So, I was thinking we could do some kind of deal for them.
Employee #1: Like a discount?
Manager: Maybe. But we gotta get them to promote our place. Something like, a free glass of champagne for being a Youtuber.
Employee #2: But aren’t they rich if they’re famous?

have come out of lurking again for the horses

I enjoyed the horse vid a lot not just because of the #bants and reactions, but also because to me, My Horse Prince is a "so bad, it's good" sort of game; like if it was a movie, it would be the Sharknado kind of movie. Also, Yuuma during the gameplay segments is derpy af and I've always appreciated silliness with weird games.

If you're curious about what happens next but have no patience to watch so many minutes of Horse Prince, RedRiot's gameplay/montage is a good summary of it and is quite funny. It also highlights the WTF moments. I think it doesn't include all episodes (not sure if the game made an update this year).

They are really testing gaming channel as trash collab channel? Cause it could work. This video had some discussion/trivia/a bit of Tumblr tag at the beginning. I think Horse Prince is the funniest of the apps they've played, I wish for this series to continue, maybe in more fast-paced rhythm. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they milked it for 10+ episodes, heard they put 4 ads on it. :wtf: They need to stop acting so scandalized though because it looks a bit fake, but can keep the fanservice level, it suits the trashiness of the app lol.

I wouldn’t want any more golf videos though, I liked some parts of it, but.. golf.. really? Like, the idea of extreme competitiveness and and dropping character sounds good, but it wasn't for me for some reason.

They just feel like lighthearted entertainment to me, nothing that Dan and Phil take too seriously but just something that's pretty ridiculous and silly. They're not my favourite videos by any means (and god I hope they don't do 13-14 separate videos :wtf: ) but given the frequency of uploads lately I think they're pleasant filler-type videos that personally appeal to my sense of humour. I can see how they could be boring though, as the gameplay itself isn't particularly interesting, it's just that I'm here moreso for dnp than I am for the game so that doesn't bother me too much.
I decided to quote this because it's basically what I was thinking. I wrote a whole post yesterday and then the Wifi disconnected before I could post it :sideeye:

Honestly, I don't watch DAPG for the games but for their interaction and reaction. They are the only gaming channel I watch because gaming itself doesn't really interest me. I don't think we can expect DAPG to become a "real" gaming channel because it was never intended to be one.

I don't like the first episode and also dislike this one. Haha. But I am not oppose to them making it a series though because there are a healthy portion of the phandom who like this series (and probably enjoy making it too)

My only selfish suggestion is for deppy to equally make a series from a proper game (like the donkey kong, that was so good??) so I can feel satisfied too.

I also dislike the most recent sim, because if it is an anime, it is a filler episode but that is a totally different story

On another note, sorry for bringing this back, in Australia DITL, has it been proven that picture on the wall that Phil vlog is in Dan's room or is it only a pure speculation? I don't think I've seen proof anywhere (or it probably was discussed during my absence from skype chat, sorry if that was the case)

Really disliked this video tbh I honestly just wasn't amused by the game at all, and the #bants didn't do it for me this episode either (I def love their interactions in general but the vid wasn't particularly funny or engaging, no matter how cute they were) i'm firmly on team #clippitycloptheyneedtostop because if they have 11-12 more of these videos I might actually cry.

Not dissing anyone who liked it or deppy btw! Just not my cup of tea (maybe it was because I was looking forward to this video all day and when I got home it just did not meet any of my expectations) so my Salt Levels are high.

I enjoyed the Horse Prince #2 video but think it falls far short of their best on the gaming channel. I hope they do more Golf With Friends because I really loved it...the ideal combination (for me) of almost evenly matched competition and bants/innuendo/laughs. I'll happily watch more Horse Prince videos because I enjoy their reactions to the oddness of the game but will be sad if they don't bother doing any more golf!

I don't know why but I love the Horse Prince videos. I usually watch their videos once or twice, but I have watched the first episode at least five times and I'm on my third watch on the second one. It just meets my sense of humour and deppy's comments and interactions are gold during some parts. We always tell them to play games which they like and enjoy playing and I think that Dan (and now even Phil) genuinely enjoys this game and appreciate its trashiness and humour. Don't know if the 10 episodes isn't too much and maybe they should put more episodes in one video to speed it up a bit but I look forward to it.

I am not a gamer and don't care about games at all but imo the bants in these two videos were just on point.

I'm exactly the same, I don't watch any other gaming channels and every time I try I get bored pretty quickly because I'm not a gamer at all. I've tried watching the more serious gamers and I can't do it, because it's not actually the games I'm interested in but Dan and Phil themselves.

For me, I tend to enjoy their gaming videos most when I can tell they're enjoying themselves. It's why I wasn't really a fan of last year's FNAF video during Spooky Week, as to me I felt that they weren't really into it so it lessened my enjoyment of the video. It's also why I can't rewatch their #spon Dragon City/World Chef vids (aside from the ones during gamingmas, they were fine as they added the quiz which I think upped their enjoyment).

But with the Horse Prince videos, I get the vibe that they really do find it amusing and are having fun, which is the main thing I need to enjoy a dnp games video so that rubs off on me and I find it entertaining. I'd maybe be less into it if they were uploading once a month like last year, but their schedule has been amazing lately so I can't begrudge them the odd mediocre video (not that I personally find it mediocre). I guess it's all subjective really, while I watch it for the dnp bants and not necessarily for the game itself, I can totally see how others who are more in it for the actual gaming would find these videos subpar.

Exactly!

But honestly, I can hardly believe there are hardcore gamers watching their channel for the quality gaming reviews. But I see what you mean, it's probably about enjoying different things that different games bring out in them (e.g. more roleplay-y, more competitive more physical? lol). I personally am here for everything absurd and unexpected and their reactions to that

I don't mind the Horse series, I love Phil in it (see my new signature) and I want to know where it's going but I'd never play it myself or watch another let's play so I'll be depending on their updates. I kind of felt like that about Undertale tho I don't want to compare this shitpost of a game to undertale I'm so sorry lol

I enjoyed this one a lot more, their voices didn't stand out as much as last time (probably because they saved it from just feeling insane), but their enjoyment does make a difference. That app spon they did when they were ill that time was awful.

I'd still be up for them playing better games, though. It made me think of a PS3 game I looked at called Puppeteer, maybe should just buy it myself (I often find I don't love a game enough to play it through, so I held off, but it's cute, I bet they'd enjoy it).

Can't believe no one else heard this and thought "huh?". At about 2.50 Dan reads the line
"She couldn't find the right words looking at that pretty face" and says "Exactly what Phil thought". I'm not sure who but Dan Phil would have been thinking about it (maybe in character about SusanKun, of course), heck my radar is usually asleep for picking up on these things, but it perked my ears right up.

Had some thoughts about Dan needing to just grow up to not be avoiding things like playing more interesting games that he wants to play anyway in case of criticism. I ended up thinking round in a circle, but recently I've been pretty happy doing what I like and not hearing much criticism, partly not keeping on doing things I don't like or find really difficult (though I've been improving my drawing skills and that isn't easy, but I like it enough).

Also I realised a lot of advice I've listened to over the years has turned out to be useless for me and I could have made my own decision from my gut/heart instincts maybe to a better conclusion. Other people don't know better, Dan, is what I'd say, but also I don't think he needs to grow up, that's the sort of harsh judgment I can't be doing with myself anymore, I'm all for being yourself whatever that is a la Phil, I'd rather say he needs to relax.

Dealing with the huge audience isn't in my experience, though, and he's got 10 years self-discovery before he reaches where I'm at in age too. I hope he gets to the point he can, mostly, say "f*ck it" to the world too.

I picked up on this but just thought Dan was talking about Phil's reaction to the horse prince.
Although I'm surprised by the amount of male attraction mentions so far this year by Phil, especially in the Horse Prince videos and I'm sure we can expect more borderline bestiality comments as it progresses...

DAPG - Fifty Shades of Neigh (My Horse Prince)

:20 - Dan explaining that some people really, really did not love this video. I think he's completely right based on this getting more pages of discussion than most of their recent videos.
:59 - Phanart segment. Dan's over-reacting is slightly grating but they're making a point not to react negatively to the Dan-and-Phil factor, just the freaky horse factor.
1:08 - Nothing but complimentary toward phanart.
1:32 - "You were freaking terrified when we fed horses."
1:42 - "Phil was born in the year of the horse. I'll have to keep an eye on him." Glass closet level through the roof.
2:09 - Phil is wearing the heart shirt, he is ready.
2:11 - Dan brought back the pastel softness.
2:20 - P: Like Daniel Radcliffe. D: Except less penis.
2:52 - "Exactly what Phil thought." re: horse's pretty face.
3:17 - Phil's 'heeheeeee' and Dan grinning over at him.
3:54 - Phil says "same" when dan (reading dialogue) mentions horse's handsome face.
5:56 - Dan mentions lying about his job.
7:19 - "Is she gonna get on his back?" Phil is ready for some action.
8:20 - Phil's 'It's raining treadmills' version of It's Raining Men
10:30 - Trains are romantic?
11:03 - P: I'm dating the horse, I'm not dating me!
12:25 - Phil so disappointed over the horse not liking his answer.
12:34 - Phil gets the answer wrong bc Dan forces him to, Phil doesn't make it about it being Dan's fault thing. If that were reversed Dan would have screeched about it being cheating and Phil's fault.
13:37 - "Everyone's sweaty right now." with an almost leer. So Phil likes it sweaty? Considering the state of Dan after every tatinof show, that's not a bad thing.
14:29 - Is galloping sexual? Are they just trying to read into everything?
14:48 - Another high pitched 'aaaaa!' noise of excitement from Phil.
15:04 - P: Would you let a horse do that to you if he had that face?
15:50 - Phil is so offended that it's all about money to the horse.
16:16 - "Stockholm Syndrome. Honestly, she can't control it."
17:05 D: "I feel like this is gonna keep escalating... comedically, and romantically." new motto of DAPG?

alittledizzy your timestamps are cracking me up. Specifically:

10:30 - Trains are romantic? - 0.o I did'nt think of it this way until I read this, but I guess taking a long train ride just to see someone is kinda romantic ;)

13:37 - "Everyone's sweaty right now." with an almost leer. So Phil likes it sweaty? Considering the state of Dan after every tatinof show, that's not a bad thing.
- I really didn't want that mental image...thanks.

14:29 - Is galloping sexual? Are they just trying to read into everything?

Can't believe no one else heard this and thought "huh?". At about 2.50 Dan reads the line
"She couldn't find the right words looking at that pretty face" and says "Exactly what Phil thought". I'm not sure who but Dan Phil would have been thinking about it (maybe in character about SusanKun, of course), heck my radar is usually asleep for picking up on these things, but it perked my ears right up..
I picked up on this but just thought Dan was talking about Phil's reaction to the horse prince.
Although I'm surprised by the amount of male attraction mentions so far this year by Phil, especially in the Horse Prince videos and I'm sure we can expect more borderline bestiality comments as it progresses...
Yeah, it was really too blatant, but still good.

Artdefine06 that movie scene is wonderful. I thought I'd seen that film, but I don't remember that at all. I loved Brendan Fraser in a few things, he was great in The Mummy.

i also watch their gaming videos for their interaction rather than the gameplay itself. i do enjoy the lighthearted silly games. however, even though i'm not really interested in the gameplay itself, i much prefer their interactions in 'proper' (not sure how else to put it lol??) games rather than silly flash/app games.

like donkey kong, undertale, katamari, bubble bobble, golf with friends etc are chilled and it brings out more of their personality imo and encourages conversation further than 'oh my god!!' rather than the predictable sameold reactions in flash/app games. i believe a lot of these games rely on being weird and shocking but i'm desensitised to all of that so i just find the horse sim etc boring. this is all personal preference tho i guess, there's going to be people who prefer the opposite to me.

though i reallyyy enjoy the games that get them questioning stuff like press the button, google feud, quick draw, buzz and who wants to be a millionaire.
