Looking forward to it.

I'm sure they could do a better job than Fear The Walking Dead.
I have no idea what this means.
(I jumped ship after the terribad season 1 finale and have no interest in the spin-off.)
Settlers of Catan on UPF pleaz.
Yes, the thing that requires the most extensive camera, lighting and mixing setup is exactly what they'll do.
Fuck it, caution to the wind, just periscope it
Sounds easier than switching between different inputs.
Sounds like it's time to bring back TNT for a day.
I feel like this season of MGScanlon is unnecessary.
Drew is only doing it because he feels obligated. He doesn't care about the story or setting. He just wants to finish the game so people on the internet can stop bugging him.
They should've just ended it with 4 and let Drew play on his own time. Then have an episode or two where they discus and highlight missions they enjoyed.

He seems to be enjoying himself.
In fact this seems to be the first time he actually seems to enjoy the gameplay.
Griffin's MarioMaker level has me wanting to rewatch the Cube movies. As a piece of consumable game design, hoo boy, that level is hot, dark garbage. But as a dizzying murder-prison that wants to tease moments of hope out of its victims only to offer naught but despair, it's a wonder. GG McElroy.
The base management stuff seems to be something he doesn't like that much but I think he enjoys the base game. And if they had done that somebody else would be here asking why didn't they record the whole playthrough.
I'd rather be eaten by zombies.

It all makes sense now.
I had to rewind, because I thought I misheard at first.
I can't be the only one finding his playstyle and nonchalantness towards the game frustrating. Drew has definitely put a time limit on himself to finish the main missions before GOTY discussions.

I haven't heard Limelight in a long time and man that's a good song. I'm not a big Rush guy but I do love prog.
Also Guitar Hero Live seems like a much better product than Rock Band 4.

It's good to see more people still picking up and enjoying Undertale. One of my favourite videogames in a while.
Wait what, where is this idea coming from?

It's fine if you feel that way. People have expressed as much. Saying that drew doesn't care about the story or the game though just felt more like projection. It's just the way he plays these kinds of games. He said that he doesn't like open worlds where he can feel directionless and he's the kind of guy who put the last of us on easy but still really liked that game. The previous metal gears he was constantly frustrated when he had to actually play the game. People just seem to expect something that wasn't there in the first place.

Brad Muir's pretty cool on Danswers.
To be fair, Brad Muir's pretty cool on anything.

Syndicate is getting good reviews, will be able to enjoy another wonderful Assassin's Creed game without too much hate this year <3
Every other year man, every other year.
I always suspected that the worse games are being made by a team that is making a game while developing new tech for the series, and the good games by a team that gets to utilize the tech from the other team after it's been fixed properly.
Am I going crazy where second lowest reviews scores in the mainline AC series is considered good?

Gaming critics don't get out 10s like candy anymore so yes.
The reviews are pretty divisive.

The problem with the AC scores is I don't know if the low numbers are about punishing the series for Unity or about real issues in Syndicate. Similarly, are the high numbers simply because it's AAA or is it decent?
There's a reason I pretty much stopped caring about reviews. And I'm not even saying that all journalists are corrupt, either. I just think there's a ton of factors that get weighed, even subconsciously, that have nothing to do with the game itself.

I feel like Unity's shit storm didn't fully unleash until the public got their hands on it.
Or am I misremembering?
I think you might be. Reviews for Unity were low. It was getting 7s and 6s from IGN, Gamespot and Polygon. Kotaku gave it a NO. Alex gave it a 2.
What you might be remembering is that it was review embargoed until the minute it was released so the public through time zones and places breaking street date knew it was totally busted ahead of reviewers (or ahead of reviewers being able to tell people).
I remember A Bombing the AM with Scoops and the Wolf where Alex was like finally I can rant about this shitty game.

A GameSpot 9 is good enough for me to put some money down, especially when I am a fan of the series anyway.

Hopefully Alex talks about it a little on the beastcast, but I guess they might cover their thoughts in the quicklook.
What I've been waiting for. Alex was very helpful in convincing me to wait for Unity at a fraction of its price.
Oh, right!
And the embargo wasn't when it was released, it was noon the day it released, when it came out the midnight before.
So you had that awkward situation where Patrick could talk about it and Alex couldn't say anything, as he was still under embargo!
Yeah it was super fucked up. Ubisoft knew what a turd they had on their hands.
The reviewer was on the Lobby, and felt like he was relatively new to reviewing games, and a little too excited about doing it. So I wouldn't trust his review on its own.
