Scanlon V would be much more interesting if it was just Drew alone in the room figuring everything out on his own, without Dan constantly distracting him and telling him what to do.

Dogs Bowers is such a "great" character.
Drew would not be able to make the commentary interesting if he didn't have anyone to talk to and MGSV has lots of travelling from one location to another with not much happening. Drew is not Jeff who can easily carry a solo stream.

Wouldn't be Metal Gear Scanlon without Dan giving dumb/wrong advice!
I think that would be pretty terrible honestly.
MGScanlon 1-2 were my personal favorites. V could get boring after awhile, but i'm still enjoying it as it stands

If you think that would be good then do you basically think that the entire mgscanlon series has been terrible?
Go back and listen to the lecture from the beginning of the first episode.
Or every time Max remarks all Nathan's creepy photos seem really well done.

I agree, I don't think it's a completely random twist. Every time I talked to Jefferson I thought something was up. He's got that Adachi vibe.
That sounds awful. I think people are really overestimating how much Drew would experiment on his own.
Yeah, I read up on some of it. Fuck that really caught me off guard.
Chloe can't just fucking be dead after all this, right? She died twice in this episode, and the first time was hard enough.
It's weird, because I get that feeling from Drew as well whenever he's actively playing the game. However, when Drew is discussing or remembering Metal Gear, he always talks about it so highly and with such reverence.
I don't get that feeling at all. Maybe during parts of MGS3,but it's clear that he really likes the series. Brad talked about how he wouldn't shut up about MGS in the office leading up to MGSV. That doesn't change the fact that I don't think him playing alone would be very entertaining.

Is the ryckoning podcast between that youtuber and professional monster still happening?
Probably when Patrick is in SF where Dan and popular Youtuber Greg Miller reside.

Aww, thought that they might do a skypecast.
Well he does that sometimes already. Only with his eyes.
Wait, is that something they've talked about?

Wasn't it that Greg miller would be at the thing where they play each other?

Fuck the Persona comparison makes me realise David is totally Dojima. At least the version of him Jeff and Vinny envisaged.
At the end of the stream they said they would do a podcast later in the week to discuss everything.
At the end of Klepek's Ryckoning video he says that he's going to be in L.A. soon and wants to do a podcast with Dan about this whole thing which will also be hosted by Greg Miller.
Klepek also states that there will be an expert level challenge with Dan in Mario Maker when he is in L.A.

MGScanlon V would be better if Drew didn't go around fultoning everyone. But that's more a problem with the game than Drew.
Okay, that makes sense. Greg's good people so I'm totally okay with that.
When's that LA Podfest podcast being uploaded? Also, hiya!
Next week. Jeff said on this week's Bombcast that they would be able to upload it next week.
Hi!
If there was I haven't seen it. Someone is probably working on it, but there's a lot of hours of content to go through.
True. But: Who even is Karen?

Ah ok thanks. Haven't yet had the chance to catch up with the latest podcast yet. I probably should do it soon while playing DQ8.

THAT'S A TAST-EE PLAAHZ-MAH
I saw a video a week or two ago of someone in that game beating up a guard with a blackjack or something and it looked janky as hell
I plan on buying it, crossing my fingers that every other one is a good game. I freaking loved Black Flag, to the point that I think no ship warfare is a big step backward for the series.
Yeah, it'll be really interesting to see if the lack of forum hype correlates with any noticeable drop in sales, or if the mainstream appeal of the series doesn't really need any kind of particular hype each year to keep the series selling consistently as it's done.
I watched some of the 40 minutes long gameplay video posted in Gaming just now (god damn I'm bored at work). The game looks beautiful, but my god do I have AssCreed fatigue. I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy an AssCreed game again unless they really do something with the formula.
And yeah, compared to previous games in the series it seems like they've been more low key with the marketing of this one. Or it might be that it just feels that way because Alex hasn't posted 1 video a week of the game on the site.

The "APPLES AND PEARS OOP DE DOO OI GUVNA" tone of the characters is also supremely off-putting. At least Unity made zero effort to play up to French stereotypes (or even their language).
I miss ACII's decent handling of Italy.
It's hilarious because after all this time using normal British accents for every culture. They go and turn their one chance where it actually fits into a goddamn caricature, I love the game industry.
Black Flag was the high point for me.
The setting. The music. The voice acting was top notch.
and the ship stuff was fun as hell. Just chill out on the ocean. Diving for stuff.
a Black Flag 2 would get me hyped as fuck.

I love Black Flag more than is reasonable, but even that is probably a one-off. I mean, isn't Rogue basically Black Flag 2 but in a different setting? I haven't played it. But yeah idk that you can just repeat that. I didn't even really get into the Adewale DLC despite being really interested in the story premise.
Also, they did the pirate story. The entire golden age of pirates happened in Black Flag. That setting, that story, it's kind of done.
But yeah man, that game was practically made for me. Love that setting. The story was legitimately great too. Edward as a protagonist works so well, easily my favorite in the series.

I go the other way on this.
Having mostly British accents in Unity was a huge blunder to my mind.
Seriously, they did faux Italian accents for the Ezio games. Why not at least have some mild French accents in Unity to give it some flavour?
I'm surprised the Simulcast isn't locked behind premium.
