I think it would've been more interesting if they picked games they thought were underrated. It's too easy to be all negative about shit anymore.

To me it seemed the crowd more or less agreed with Colin and Brian, but were more more hesitant to agree with Chris and Anthony. In fact, when FFVII was named as Anthony's game, there were gasps. Of the four games discussed, I've only owned and played MGS4. I own AC1, but never got around to playing AC2. I planned to, but then release after release made the prospect more daunting. I just gave up on ever getting into the series. I own the first two Arkham games (never finished them), but they are fun. I'd probably really like AK. As for FFVIII, I just can't stand JRPG turn-based RPGs. I prefer action RPGs, where the combat is real-time. The only turn-based RPGs that I've thoroughly enjoyed are Costume Quest games (if they can even be called RPGS) and South Park: The Stick of Truth (can't wait for the sequel!).

Danny is doing a play through of MGS 5 tonight at midnight est. Now I have to decide if I want to play or watch him. Damn you Danny.

Play and then watch his video after. Problem solved.

So, assuming Giant Bomb is reviewing the game, CBSi will have three Mad Max reviews?

Getting pretty mixed reviews, but in general it seems like Jeff's impressions after playing it a while ago were accurate and your enjoyment will vary based on how you tolerate a lot of repetitive missions.

After listening to Bakalar for an extended period of time I can totally hear his voice in my head when reading his review.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I like that the MGSV QL is set to go up at the usual MGS time.

[OdysseusVA]

Didn't know Spectakalar did reviews. Cool.

 

[Incandenza]

The trend of giving your reviews pithy titles is kinda silly. It's only a step or two above the old Gametrailers trend of "Is Tiger Woods 2008 a hole in one or did EA shank it right into the tall grass?"

 

[EdReedFan20]

It'll be interesting if Alex reviews it for GB. They could then do a compare/contrast on the Beastcast.

 

[Keyser Soze]

My deck for Mad Max would be "Wasteland Management Consultant"

You should read some old 90s Game Informer reviews. If anything was a 5 or below, they would just talk mad shit about the game without really going into any depth about why you should avoid it.

At least they own up to it.

 

[Tubobutts]

My deck for Mad Max would be "Wasteland Management Consultant"

Mine would be "Max Doesn't Count"

you think thats bad, just the other day I read a Fantastic Four review that had this tagline:

The Bottom Line
More like the Unfantastic Four.

Back when I worked at a mag you'd have a proper review title and then a snarky subheading, or just a terrible pun

 

[Keyser Soze]

I changed my mind, my new deck for Mad Max is "Nuclear Hollow-caust"

This hohokum game, I've never been so charmingly annoyed before.

 

[stump sock]

 

[LurkerPrime]

I'd like the game more if this was its aesthetic.

 

[Jothel]

Danny is starting a MGSV stream at the same time the QL goes up

 

[DamnBoxes]

My fave.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Why the hell did the Boss go along with the idea of giving Volgin a nuke as a gift? Always the chump!

 

[Basileus777]

Poor Danny, he's going to get less viewers than a pre-recorded video.
