Don’t really understand the hate that the series got but I personally enjoyed it the whole way through. Sad to see it end.
It's just not that interesting of a concept outside of the first few episodes, it's "I need to go grind 500 tiles, 2 secs" and then cuts back to content being done but without any hard restriction outside of that it's mostly just "I'm doing a UIM" after awhile, the Inferno for instance was just doing Inferno in a budget setup.
Incredibly talented player and Im interested to see what comes next but after a dozen episodes it just didn't feel that interesting. Maybe if the challenge had been "I've got 25,000 tiles and I plan to get Infernal Cape" it'd have more stakes.
imo I think inferno would've worked as a goal but it completely fell flat once he decided to get ancients/bowfa, since anyone familiar with him outside of swampletics already knew he has an acb inferno under his belt, so him getting the cape with a better ranged setup was inevitable
it also just dragged the videos out unnecessarily long considering there were like half a dozen episodes dedicated to just doing cg prep
I didn't hate it but compared to Swampletics it just wasn't as engaging for me. Swampman had the question of "is this even possible" the whole time. Tileman didn't, it was always possible and just a question of when he would finish.
It was boring as a concept halfway through the first episode. It just didnt have any purpose. Afk at a tree and there are no restrictions. Swampman, 1 inventory slot, and escape rooms super good though imo.
Tileman, after those first few episodes, really became kind of artificial?
Like, if Settled really wanted to overcome the tile limitation he could have just gone to Wintertodt for ~200 hours and gotten 50,000 tiles and then done the whole series. That would be incredibly boring, obviously, but it made me feel like he wasn't actually pushing any boundaries for the most part, other than some grinds being less efficient.
I also enjoyed it the whole way through but I think that’s solely based on Settled personality and his storytelling. Had it been anyone else, then I don’t think it would have been as entertaining.
That being said, now that the series is over, what would be the best way to immortalize the series similar to the broken crossbow for Swampletics. I’m thinking something to do with Glop.
It's easy to not understand it if you mischaracterize it.. People had problems with it, they didn't hate it. Everyone in this thread who has criticisms also has nice things to say.
