I'd definitely be interested in a Bungie PVP game. I had a blast with Destiny 1's PVP.
Also been waiting for Disco Elysium on PlayStation only for it to be refused classification. Fortunately, I was able to dust off my US PSN account and find a way to add credit to it to buy it anyway. Less fortunately, the game crashed 15 minutes in so I'm waiting for a few more patches until I get into it.
GGG is not indie. Tencent owns more than 80% of the GGG(controlling share) so I don't think calling a studio indie that is owned by the largest gaming Publisher/Developer is accurate.
Days gone feels boring
I really don't understand the claim behind PS5 being the fastest selling console in history when we are genuinely going through a parts storage lol. They need to add some context to the claim… like is it the fastest to reach 1 million console sales? 500k? 100k? etc.
"Wait, stop. Stop it, don't sing" We were all singing, and it's ok. The Persona 5 Soundtrack is hard NOT to sing along with 😀
who cares about Bioshock in 2021
lol shill up!
Didnt even know days gone was buggy at launch, yet he's complaining people didnt buy at launch and waited until it was fixed.
The thing with giving streamers preferential treatment is kind of bs though, I mean are we supposed to play games or just fucking watch someone else play it?
The Aloy skin is not exclusive to PlayStation. I bought it on PC.
Disco story is fun.Bioshock OW is sus..Bioshock Lootershooterliveservice is my current reoccurring nightmare.
Awesome stuff mate, always. Curious what you’ll have on the radar. Look forward to the Nier review, automata was easily one of the games of the generation.
Hey man, loved this one! Made me realize I should add Horizon and… ABZU which is a game i remember really being interested in and forgot about! And now I just HAVE it?! 9k? Haha
Hey man, thanks and jeezuz… keep these comming buddy : )
"How can you play old games?" Said boomer listening to digitally preserved music from 70 years ago.
Fuck it destroy all art older than 10 years, who the fuck needs it.
Judgement not coming to PC, but to a fucking Stadia makes me so disappointed in SEGA…
That "girlfriend reviews" song haha
Who’s podcast?
your so right, why would i buy a game day one when i know it will be broken and a hot mess
"stadia fans" lol
If ANY content creator gets ANYTHING (SWAG, perks, Early Access, etc.) from a game developer or publisher, they should be legally considered as an employee, taxed, and forced to disclose the relationship and forms of compensation.
Really big fan. But just wanted to say that guilty gear is mostly owned by tencent. So kinda independent but not really l.
The PS5 is the fastest selling console in U.S history because Sony is willingly neglecting all their other markets so they can even futher grow their branch in America. Not that moving HQ was bad enough, it will likely only get worse for Asians, Aussies, and Europeans
days gone deserves a sequel. the problem is with sony.
STRAYA!
Apex developers officially endorsed Burn Loot Murder. F them.
GGG a indie studio? Its owned by TENCENT
If you have a quest 2.. it’s pretty cool lol suck it
Skill Up please do a get together with Ozzy Man Reviews
Ralph takes out about as much anger on Avengers as I would on Gamefreak if I owned this channel.
Screw Nintendo. I need a new Extreme G game.
Lord of the Rings Online absolutely still gets updated.. still getting expansion contents regularly. Unfortunately the engine itself doesn't really get any love, which holds back what is probably one of the best classic theme park MMOs on the market
Hi, just here again to say I love these. Please continue making them. 🙂
Yo, I thought the same thing about the escape rooms, but as an anti-social introverted gamer, it was actually surprisingly fun.
That was my take away from the video.
Thanks .
What Genshin is doing "right" to keep players is they are all "pot committed" (yes a poker gambling reference is perfect) we've spent money like a drunk best man at the Bachelor party. We CAN'T quit now. It HAS to get better.
On the Days Gone dev, just like with the European super league news, capitalism bad. Capitalism is what pushes games out early. Capitalism is why I literally can't afford to pay full price if I want to play more than a handful of games per year (or turn to piracy ahem). Capitalism is why your kids are addicted to gambling in a fucking video game. yeah. ppl might say get a better job or that aint capitalism but a minority of corporate bigwigs or whatever but no, when profit > anything, like health, or fun, look where we end up.
Imagine being scared by Alien Isolation…. 😐
"GGG is indie developer" 😀 😀 Owned by Tencent
Some movies aren't going to be blockbusters, and won't make their money back with a $450 million budget. Some games aren't going to find an audience at $60-70, and should also adjust their development accordingly.
If you guys play anything in this video, make it Alien Isolation. Absolutely amazing game.
Is GGG really an indie study still? Tencent owns them. At a certain point when an indie studio earns enough money, they really arent "indie" anymore.
“The mother of all back flips” I think the super league took that crown
Letting streamers jump the queue is ok…says the streamer.
I wouldv'e loved Wasteland 3 also… if It had ever become playable. I encountered gamebreaking bugs as late as last month and almost every file i started has had to be scrapped at some point
"just give us your money on blind faith" is one hell of a position.
