Getting Over It without Bennett Foddy

It's more therapeutic, esepcially when reaching the end. I've managed to find a lot more lines from him in the files but I never really figured out how to trigger them.. and there's one line that I'm really curious about..

Just rode your snake, dude. Thanks a bunch. >:(

lol, the voiceover would have warned you

I actually just wrote a review on that point! Its not that he's smug, its just sort of... not my style. I'd call it pretentious but that has such a negative meaning attatched to it, but its honestly the best I can do right now. The slam poetry was terrible, but I know nothing about slam poetry. I like my challenges like my revenge, served cold!

I didn't ride it willingly. I was sucked in by my own ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ backwards momentum.

I honestly love the dialogue in this game, the poetry was amazing and it game me something to listen to whilst i suffered.
Feeling frustrated...
...it's underrated.

I won't turn it off tbh, his voice is kinda nice. I like accents.

It also helped me calm down (but only at one point so far).

Commentary is brilliant, especially the failure activated ones. The quotes, the music. Choices of a genius if you ask me. I could, however, see how a kid wouldn't appreciate none of it. But then maybe the game is not for that kid. Also Bennett does tell you that you can mute him if you want pretty early in the game.

I'm 27. Don't patronize me.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. I'm 31 so i don't feel superior to you in any way. I chose a hypothetical "kid" just because i thought it would be a better example. 100 year old man could also find the commentary "smug" and mute it, i suppose, it's just less likely. If you are still yet to beat the game, i'd strongly advice activating the commentary again when you are about to progress.

I've actually beaten the game three times (and continue to play in my quest to obtain the last achievement), and yes I have listened to the commentary. My problem with it is not the quality of the commentary, but with how it affects my play. It enrages me, which causes my quality of play to drop significantly. Surely you can understand how losing progress, and then listening to some guy say "ooooh, you just lost a lot of progress" can cause seething anger, especially after hearing it twenty times.

Well, i wish you good luck on that! I know it took me forever to get it. And yeah, i've
also turned off Bennett's voice, but really only because i've played this game so many
damn times already. I would only turn it back on if there's any new narration to be heard.

Oh yes, even though first few times main monologue is amazing, after winning about 15 times i found the main monologue too repetitive as well, since by then i already memorized most of it...

The comments activated by failure are actually great though! :D
Some of the quotes and the music helped me improve my "pain threshold" more than anything else in any game. To a point where after 20+ wins i would miss them a lot cause i would fail so rarely (and main monologue doesn't catch up and failure comments are ignored until it does). So failing and hearing the music once again would be actually enjoyable to a point of singing along and being glad i failed.

So i would actually prefer the failure activated comments/music, while disabling main monologue at this point.
