I haven't played it, but it seems like the kind of game that you wouldn't feel bad about spending 20 bucks on.

It's one of my favorite games of the year just from how good the combat felt
The shooting feels so good though

It's a nice goodbye video for Will, but it also sort of captures the dilution of Tested after the acquisition. I'm sure they reach a bigger audience now, but so much of their content is so uninteresting to me. I'm far more interested in Will's new project than anything Tested does in the future.

What Xbox exclusives are you interested in? Halo, Tomb Raider, Quantum Break, etc.?
Name 3 games you want to play on XBO. Name 3 games you want to play on PC.
So maybe continue saving for a PC until Quantum Break and Cup Head (also on PC) release?
I still want to play sunset overdrive and quantum break looks neat. Also cup head and inside.

Naturally the choice depends on how much you are willing and able to spend on your hobby, but personally I think getting an Xbox on top of your PS4 and (future) PC is a little overkill. I'd definitely wait until the release of Quantum Break to see how it is received and save a little money on the inevitable Xbox + Quantum Break bundle.

I have all three consoles, both handhelds, and a pretty good rig. PLAY EVERYTHING
Xbox One is dirt cheap these days anyway.

I would say a PC but Xbox One has some possibly good upcoming exclusives next year.
Also this.

More like "The crafting is so much fun."
Seriously, I really like Fallout 4.
I'm like 48 hours in, and I'm far from the finish of the main storyline. In fact, I've only used Power Armor the one time you kind of have to, even though I have like 50+ fusion cores.
It's my RPG hording instincts kicking in. I can't use the cores because what if I have to use them later?

And then you never use them later.
You already had superpowers in Just Cause 2. I never once used a car in that game, the only time you needed a vehicle was if you had to cross a body of water too large to use a series of boats to parasail. Helicopters with infinite rockets were alright too, but ground based vehicles were only props to grapple people onto.
If you guys need more pushing to get Tales From The Borderlands, the game has amazing musical introductions each episode as well. I played about an hour of episode 2 last night. The intro song was fantastic, picked up the album immediately after.
There is one location I'm still interested in clearing because it has robot pirates.
For the best. I want them to be able to talk about it more than "oh that released, but EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING I CAN'T"
I actually had a lot of fun with the shooting, and that's partly why I played so damn much of it. The crafting/building is the other part. I have a bunch of power armor and never really felt the need to wear it, especially once I got access to ballistic weave to make regular clothing awesome armor. Finished it yesterday at 79 hours. I'm glad I'm done because I was at the point where I would still pick up everything even though I knew I wasn't going to do anything with it. The same thing happened with weapons, I was carrying way more than I needed to, just because I had every single type of weapon/ammo and wanted the option.

I think its a mixture from each column depending on the game. Jeff is pretty upfront when he thinks an old game hasnt aged well at all even if its in a jokey way like the time he kept insisting The Last Ninja was a classic in increasingly defeated tones.

Yep. I had to recalibrate my expectations with that game once it became clear (within, like, 45 minutes) that it was hella busted and not at all impressive the way Bethesda used to be impressive. But then it's also their first game to have combat that's actually enjoyable, and the settlement stuff tickles the Sims and tycoon game lover in me. There's still a lot of fun to be had in that game.

Battlefront is suck a pretty proof of concept.
I hope EA can make a decent Star Wars game in a year or two.
My current fear is I hope that Amy Henning + Visceral game doesn't get Dead Space 3'd to death.

Dante's Inferno was way better then it should have been. A more then decent God of War clone.
Dead Space 3 was such a abandonment of everything that made 1 and 2 great in just about every way.
Lets ditch the classic isolated space horror feel and add forced Co Op ala RE5.
Lets make it more traditional action game by adding bad guy army dudes to fight.
Lets just crash a moon into our established storyline and make sure this thing is damaged beyond repair when the game is done.
Dead Space totally followed the trajectory of Alien.
1 = the classic slow horror.
2 = the action / horror blend.
3 = I dont fucking know. Some businessmen did a focus test and this thing popped out.
Oh and KOTOR 2 is the 100th game on my steam library. Go me!?
Would have had more games but my and my brother shared a steam account since the day 1 of steam and when one of use moved I pulled the short straw.
It will probably look awesome at least.

The humans were fun to fight in Dead Space 3. They reacted in cool ways to your weapons(ie, even on the hardest difficulties your laser pistol would instantly amputate them) and created fun monster vs human scenarios that you very rarely see in games.
People need to go back and play Dead Space 2 and remember how action focused it is outside of the opening. Tons of qtes and big hollywood set pieces.

I actually liked Dante's Inferno. Hated Dead Space 3.

I enjoyed Dante's Inferno until the last third of the game where they shoved 90% of the poem into a series of bland, forced challenge rooms because "Oh yeah, this doesn't make sense as a game" And enemies from other layers appearing in circles they didn't belong.
Not all art is appreciated in its own time.

Vapelord Alex Navarro preaching the good word of 30 FPS.
My totally anecdotal impression says the opposite.
About the vaping, not necessarily about twitch.

Don't think so, Brad and Jason seemed to be fairly early in the game.
The ones who absolutely love it are Jeff and Dan. It'll be up to them to formulate an argument the others can agree with for it to take the top spot. I bet Vinny and Austin care more about Contradiction than Mario Maker.
And Dan is probably gonna push for MGSV over Mario Maker.

Brad was the furthest and even he has around 9 hours left.
And Jeff and Dan both really like MGSV, unless the post release stuff with MGSV has really hurt their opinion on it then I don't see it losing.
Yeah it seems like they are recording GOTY stuff next week.
