Next-gen Witcher update get some community help but The Witcher 4 is off to a rocky start, Division gets a free-2-play spin off and 343’s crunch culture may not be so crunchy after all.

i love how cdpr work with modder. yeah every developer should i guess
John Justice, sounds like a Marvel hero.
Referring to the crunch; after seeing what this causes in the end products, it's questionable if this is worth it. Companies behind get bad pr, staff is close to burn out and as I said, (and as we saw with Cyberpunk) the end product is still full of bugs.
The Burning Crusade, yes, it won't be the same experience, but I want to go through the portal again, to leave Azeroth and enter Hellfire Peninsula.
And Ralph, good work again, really enjoy this format of news/wrap up.
Thank You Square Space for helping Shill Up continue To bring us these wonderful videos every week. Shill is awesome at his job and I enjoy his takes in his reviews and obviously “this week in video games”
"Speaking of winning: STADIA !". Love you so much Ralph.
Shut up, the notification bell works 99% of the time.
I only get free games from Epic. I’ve never spent a dime.
that ikea game is based off a SCP story
15:28 – Wait, isn't this "Crendor: The Game"?
But when is Below Zero coming to Game Pass? That's what I want. Also BLESS YOU RALPH for the Garrus comment!
I don't know why ppl think cross-play is a good thing. If I where Sony I wound beat Cross-Play to death from a platform point of view. The reason is in its name, Sony have this thing called "console" the "Play Station", the concept of what a console is THE ONLY REASON you would OWN a Play Station over X-Box or any other console, for that exclusive games. So if Cross-Play is a thing, what is the point of own any consoles? Of course, MS want to promo Cross-Play since they LOST the console war. In other words, Cross-Play is a mere Microsoft way to screw over Sony's console or potentially all consoles altogether.
3:00 crossplay is shit anyway, don't care about since quarter of the player I compete with are PC players and 90% of those are cheaters anyway.
Bruh the IKEA SCP gonna be a game. I love it
No more the division. Game is trash.
yeah i saw the video the 343 guy posted on his bilibil
he claim the reddit post wasn't well translated and a lot of it was out of context
which is fair
Had to up vote for the "dive in". You earned it
> we didn't play Ass Effect for Miranda's butt
Speak for yourself, mate.
The manager for the Styr game looks so much like The Silence from Doctor Who.
Not 1 dislike man!! That's amazing.
I love your content lol keep up the incredibly deep reviews of games and awesome news every week! Used to watch you on Laymen Gaming way back, in fact that's where I first saw you!
The end of the oobi-soft / yubi-soft debate with “A UBISOFT ORIGINAL” I guess
Cash Mayo strikes back
Why cant you and Sam do this togetha?
🤷♂️
You guys had great chemistry 🥲
How about a video for Destiny 1 players and how to dive back into Destiny 2.
It's not your normal content I realize but I know you would kill it.
Skill Up: "As Shoe crosses the finish line…"
Cash Mayo: "You son of a bitch…"
I don't take that as "admitting to some of it". Just that regardless of the investigation now former coworkers would feel uncomfortable.
Remnant from the ashes was such a disappointment imo, was shocked when I found out it didn't have an actual ending…
Im super glad u make this video format bro . Super good . Keep it ul
Love your reviews man, but I'm betting you have dumped hundreds of hours into destiny, but you hate any other game that's over 10 hours…
Is Diablo free to play now?
Never played Mass Effect, but I was curious and Googled "mass effect miranda's butt" and got more than I was expecting.
I sure hope you're not planning on skipping Biomutant.
This is what I look forward to every goddamn week. Skill Up. You're amazing mate.
Glad I’m not the only one tht recognized the scp game 😂
You missed GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon coming EA at Steam this month, by Konami, Yes, that's Konami.
Valhalla is the best AC game in the series. I will not be taking questions at this time.
So when are we getting actual SkillUp WoW content?
I have borderlands on steam huh
I've got heaps of the free games from epic, but will probably not play 95% of them. So really is it really going to be money lost from the devs if I was never going to buy the game to begin with?
