Dan is crazy.
I want McDonalds breakfast food all day. Fuck a quarter pounder.

I loved the gasp of the crowd. They seemed stunned.
I'm totally with Dan on this. Fuck mcdonalds breakfast foods, give me a big mac over anything on their breakfast menu any day of the week.

"Chumbawumba...Axel Foley"
OK, Dan didn't choose a track from Chrono Cross, that had to be Jason.

I was very skeptical of Dying Light, but it looks pretty damn cool. Might have to pick it up sooner than later.

Haven't yet watched the QL but the streams I've watched make it look like a Dead Island Definitive Edition with parkour and meaningless sidequests.
Any truth to that?
Hey bro, you wanna climb a tower then jump off into a pile of something?

Yeah, I really can't stand these types of games. It's grating at this point. But I guess people keep buying them and the press keep giving them praise.
This looks just like every Ubisoft game. Including Mordor.
Yo I've got so many checkboxes for you to fill. Do you like XP bars? I know you do.
Kind of? No? Does "Parkour" in this context just mean Brink movement where you can jump over ledges? It's nothing like Mirror's Edge and doesn't seem to allow for all that much creativity in traversal. Beyond that the analog combat isn't even an option, so it kind of looks terrible from the start since that was the only novelty that kept me playing Dead Island at all.

Once I climb the tower will it highlight the missions and side objects I can do in the area on my map?
Because I dont think I know how to discover content in a open world any other way anymore. Anything else and I would be lost, walking around in circles endlessly.
Senpai noticed me!
Chances of me playing Dying Light anytime soon just seriously went down the floor.
It gets better after about an hour in.
Yeah, I was considering picking it up but I'll wait for a sale. Tired of this homogeneous open world game design. Kojima save us please.
I tried getting into Mordor multiple times and just couldn't. I didn't think the nemesis system was all that great and everything else about the game felt like a worse Batman/Assassin's Creed.
Well buddy do I have the game for you. Ever heard of a little series called Assassin's Creed?
Look at all that content!
The best part is it's all of consistent quality!

this dying light quick look.... I don't know if I'm gonna make it to the good part.
I don't know if brad's gonna make it to the good part.
This two block square of the game looks pretty at least.
Watching other people play video games man
JUST FUCKING GO SOMEWHERE
Brad has to explore and open everything, even on a one off save used only for a Quick Look. I found the QL to be pretty good, got me interested in a game I hadn't been before.
I mean, I wouldn't call the first 30 minutes exploring as much as running around in circle talking about random aspects of the game without showing anything. But it goes for much longer so it's easy to not care too much... it's just yea, watching other people play games sometimes is a special kind of frustration.
Run around in circles not showing anything is something Brad has a habit of doing in open world qls. I recall Jeff calling him on it during a Dead Rising video.

I totally agree, that gets on my nerves too for sure, I guess I enjoyed the game enough to over look it, plus I'm a fan of Rorie QL's.
Yep, if I'm going to McDonalds I'm gonna buy a proper burger, none of this breakfast shit. If I'm gonna destroy myself I prefer it to be a burger and some fries.

Yeah...I couldn't take it. Not sure how people are content with playing lesser versions of games and paying the same price for them. Actually, you'll probably be spending more on console versions of games since there is always some sort of sale going on for the PC.
I had to sell my PS4. I'm good with just having my Wii U and PC.
Well buddy do I have the game for you. Ever heard of a little series called Assassin's Creed?
I think I just realised the latest World of Warcraft expansion is an Assassin's Creed game.
If Bloodborne wasn't coming out in two months, I would do the same. Will rent The Order as well.

Dan's argument is okay (I've only accidentally shown up to a McDonalds during breakfast hours once, and it is a letdown. You walk in expecting a burger/mcnuggets - no McMuffin will satisfy that need.) - but his phrasing of "Breakfast food is always the worst option" is just baffling.
The food discussion on the panel got hella-weird. KFC's potatoes aren't that good - they're way too salty, and sometimes the texture is inconsistent. They're certainly better than my meager expectations for fast food potatoes - but I'd take their wedges & a side of sweet corn anyday.

What are the breakfast hours? Until 10? Who the hell eats fast food at those hours?

Fast food breakfast is disgusting. As someone who works and sleeps odd hours, I wish they would just always serve their normal menus.

Brad sold me on Dying Light. His enthusiasm did me in.
