If Ray Left AH

AwYeah

@super_legit

Of those of you who watch AH still, would you still watch it if Ray left? I'm not saying he will or anything like that, I was just having a conversation the other day and realized that he could probably spin-off a fanbase of people who wanted to watch someone play well if he did.

he doesn't make acheivement hunter but there would be a gap in there

I don't think it would hurt AH for too long. However, it could make some idiots in the community very divisive, even if Ray and AH made it clear that there's no issue between the two. Here's hoping nothing like that ever happens though.

Jade

I used to be huge into ah and the fandom but I'm really behind and busy and it feels like I'm no longer a part of it.

Jade

It would definitely hurt it but they would still have so many fans that i'd be no doubt sad and unfortunate but it wouldn't kill it. It did great before he was there.

I don't watch AH for one person.

@Parks:
This, although I'd be pretty disappointed. Is this thread in reaction to anything in particular? Is there another #hugs4ray-esque thing going on?

I gotta say I wish there were more competent gamers at AH. Watching Ray is a pleasure. Watching Geoff makes me tear my hair out (in a non-entertained sort of way). Your fusion rifle doesn't work at 200 yards Geoff!!! It has limited range!

Zackizzle

Who?

AwYeah

@super_legit

@IceCube: No, I just feel like he would be the only one who would leave and that people would stop watching because of it.

Mike

Back in my day, Achievement Hunter was just Jack and Geoff.

AwYeah

@super_legit

How many people stopped watching AH after Mike was done interning?

Poll:
  1. I did
    13
  2. Of course not

One or two or three guys don't make AH, but many people would argue with me about that.

AwYeah

@super_legit

@Neal:That's kinda the point of the thread. I feel like Ray has the most die hard fans, and I guess this was to find out approximately how many they are.

@AwYeah: If it wasnt for the Mad King Ryan, I wouldn't watch it anymore. #AHShouldHireMike

Shannon

Seriously though, I don't dislike Ray but he's not my favourite. If Michael, Lindsay and Ryan left, i'd watch less of their videos.

AwYeah

@super_legit

@Shannon: All hail the Mad KIng

I think an interesting discussion would be, if one of the AH guys was accused of doing something horrible (but not criminal), would you still watch AH? It depends of course on what they did and what people consider to be horrible, but as an example (though I stress that I'm not saying any of them would actually do this), if one of them were to manipulate fans into sleeping with them. I use this example because other Youtubers have been accused of doing this, and their fanbases have since fractured. Another example might be if they were to tell someone to kill themselves over Twitter or some other form of social media.

AwYeah

@super_legit

@IceCube:Ever heard of connect the hots?

Parks

Ass To Ass

@AwYeah: Ever heard of it was a joke.

AwYeah

@super_legit

@Parks:Yeah, I remember watching that Let's Build. That did not sound like a joke. Also, bad jokes don't get the video taken down and an apology on the front page of RT.

Shannon

Queen

@IceCube: the large problem with the manipulate fans thing thats happening is some of the YouTubers in question are going after underage fans. That's not to say they're all young fans. But I think if anyone manipulate anyone they're kind of shitty people.
But that's the things with media. You may not like their personal decisions but some people will still watch/listen no matter what because they like the content. There are some Youtubers and Celebrities who are proof of that.

Parks

Ass To Ass

@AwYeah: I thought that was mainly from the audience thinking they were serious about it.

absolutezilch

Hey Big Zam!

I did select 'Nope' as part of the original question and yeah, I'm definitely in the minority there. The thing is I don't watch much of AH anymore to be honest. My patience for one-offs on newer games is wearing thin with the type of poo poo that's been coming out lately. BL:the pre-sequel genuinely looks like a good Lets Play and the new hires seem like they're funny, interesting guys but I still stopped watching 10 minutes in to the video. I like my characters and people I watch to be 'established' and that induction period is weird for me. If Ray left, I might still watch Rage Quit but I would drop the Lets Plays all together because I feel like Ray brings a weird sort of energy to the group that no one else can really replicate. I remember I tried watching the Saints Row LP with Michael and Geoff all those years ago and I couldn't do it.


You're right that I would stop watching AH if Ray left but I wouldn't watch the independent stuff that Ray made either.

Zackizzle

@Mike: And Community videos were uploaded to the main channel.

maybe if geff left AH there might be a problem

SenselessVirus

I don't think Ray would ever leave AH, If he did he wouldn't get free t-shirts anymore.

@ADashofRainbow: Fragger.

absolutezilch

Hey Big Zam!

I have since changed my opinion to 'I might watch Ray's independent stuff.' hehehe

B0r1ng

@absolutezilch: I usually watch his streams on youtube where he plays narrative games like The Walking Dead. If you prefer to watch someone play a game you might be interested but know you won't play, like me, I'd suggest watching those streams.

Ruckus_Bringer

I'm excited to think that Mike could be coming on to the AH crew but honestly he doesn't have that much experience with the type of shows they produce in terms of comedy, I feel like he's too vulgar for AH and his humoristic references wouldnt match up quite right. But hey, what do I know. RIP in peace Ray, all hail the glorious "AH_Mike"

Jakalarf

@Ruckus_Bringer: Almost everyone hates new people at AH, I remember when people hated Ryan, and there are still a very vocal bunch that hate Lindsay. Some people just cant accept change. I would be cool if Mike joined AH though.

Parks

Ass To Ass

@Jakalarf: WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THE THINGS I LIKE!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE THEY HIRING NEW PEOPLE???!!!!

Rin=Waifu

He'll be hard to replace, but he isn't the whole show.

Majin_Dumplin

Ok, long time lurker only recently signed up, my view of Ray leaving (although painful to watch) is a good thing for him an AH and I do believe many fans will bitch no matter who replaces him. Let's face it, fan wise there would be an almost even split between replacements. Many hate Lindsay but a lot like her, same goes for Kerry. I think Kerry or Lindsay would be great, Mike would be funny too but we also have our "saying dumb shit guy" quota with Gavin (not an attack, I love those moments) Guess we just have to wait and see.

B0r1ng

@forecep42: You're not the whole show!

forecep42

Rin=Waifu

@B0r1ng: it feels good to be back

AwYeah

@super_legit

@Majin_Dumplin: Kerry is not a replacement, I think Kerry was technically the 3rd achievement hunter. He just got caught up with other things, like writing RWBY and wotnot

Also, welcome to the site. prepare your anus.

Majin_Dumplin

@AwYeah: Thanks for the welcome, I have prepared and my anus is ready.
Also, yeah I kind of wasn't sure where Kerry fell in terms of replacement, AH member or what, so I went the lazy path and just said replacement.

absolutezilch

Hey Big Zam!

I don't understand why people hate Lindsay. I don't watch a lot of AH anymore but she's easily the funniest of the lot whenever she's on.

Parks

Ass To Ass

@absolutezilch: It's cause she's a Gril, and the Internet doesn't like Gril's for some reason.

B0r1ng

@absolutezilch: Calm down now. Let's not turn this into youtube comments section.

"So what if he's gay, wanna fight about it?"

absolutezilch

Hey Big Zam!

@Parks: This anti-feminism behaviour or over-compensating rebuttal to hypocritical feminists on the internet is strange and poorly directed. It's a little sad that people always have some reason to complain. I know I'm a hypocrite too though cuz I started that Zoey Quinn bashing thread on here; 'twas never my intention to paint her in such a negative light though.

@B0r1ng: YT comments are bad but they're amusing if you read them in a funny voice.

Neal

ROLF

Watching Ray's first stream since doing it full time. I think he is making more playing GTA in front of a facecam than he ever did working at AH.

B0r1ng

@absolutezilch: They're not necessarily bad. And everything said on the internet can be funny when you realize the most meaningful post is just as ineffective as the least amusing troll. It just gets annoying to watch so many people defend a position in a place like youtube.

absolutezilch

Hey Big Zam!

@B0r1ng: It can be futile but it's beautiful chaos.

Alakawaii

In other unrelated news Ray is now a multi-millionaire from that stream.
