Jeff mentioned recently that Fallout 4 was probably his last big review for the year, I imagine that if we get a JC3 review that it will be from Dan.

Oh god I remember this from his 404-ing it show appearance. He also let slip that he discovered this beauty and submitted it to TV Carnage

Dan teased something, but I feel like there's no chance. They're basically in GOTY mode. They have a lot of work to do on that.

I did not expect that twist.
figures that they would advertise shitty fast food on american tv
I see they have the ghetto setup again for podcasting but I wonder if they will be able to do any "all hands" wrap up videos this year with their studio in boxes. Might be a case of them having to do separate videos the week after.
The first two weeks of December are all GOTY but there comes a point where all the shoots are done and the video guys have a week to furiously cut it all together. Not a lot editors can do while they work on that, so if you are going to get any streams - where the video guys can set it going and leave them to it - that will be when you see them.

Yeah, Dan would be my guess too. Seems like he's been playing it for a while now.

My brain legit had a moment of "wait did a different video with the same people just start?"

Oh this channel is great. I never saw the Oculus Rift in the bedroom short. I burst out laughing.
Thank goodness this was made.

Been clicking through some GB youtube highlights. Is this video blocked in the US?

Apparently it's Youtube Red's fault somehow? Weird.

Just Cause's gigantic world always made sense since you can traverse it so fast. Technically Burnout Paradise's world is wayyy bigger than Bethesda open worlds but it felt pretty small because you're always blasting through it.

I want an ongoing Blue Dragon GBE Playdate just so we get to see Vinny react to this classic
When Rockstar makes a big open world, I'm all for it because I know if I wander off, I'll usually discover something neat or even something unique like an AI doing something I don't normally see.
Just Cause 2 and Ubisoft games, the open world is inconsequential. They should be just start differentiating between a world and a sandbox because nothing about Just Cause 2 or Xenoblade's world is living and the sequels don't look much different. Syndicate got a little better about this by having more AI variety. It's why I like the compact but detailed world of the Yakuza games because it's so dense.

Really? I find the world of GTA games to be incredibly static.
RDR is probably their best open world, but I wouldn't in any way call GTAV "static". That's a great open world too.
GTA feels like a world that exists with or without you. A game like Just Cause feels like a world that exists in service of you which means it doesn't feel like much of a world at all. I'd recommend Danny's The Point on Watch Dogs for a similar discussion

I dunno, there's always a fakeness to gta's world that always takes me out of it.
See, just cause owns the fact that the world that exist solely to be your playpen. It doesn't have the pretense of being anything else. GTA tries to be a simulation which I can never really believe in.

The console ports of Just Cause 3 are sounding fun.
That's fine. Different people go to different games for different things. To me, the appeal of the open world genre has always been exploring that open world and wanting to see how my character transforms with that open world. To me, the best character of an open world game had better be the world itself because I see these more sandbox focused games with an open world and all I can think is 'this could be done in 1/10th the size of the world and you'd still have fun because the world and the progression of the world doesn't seem to matter at all.' It's a big reason why I dislike Saint's Row 3 so much compared to Saint's Row 2.

Yeah. If one is going to claim that they're creating an open world they have to imbue it with life, clockwork or otherwise. MGSV could easily be a series of large sandbox maps as there is nothing clockwork going on in that game outside the bases, it is just connective tissue. Even the most interesting content in that game, the main missions, cage you into an area. MGSV is a good sandbox game, but it shouldn't deem to pretend to have anything more than an excellent series of sandboxes.

Yeah it's cool, I also share your sentiments and also realise that I'm an outlier when it comes to GTA.

B-bu-but Data West said it sounds fun!
What is wrong with them? Specifically (not that I can't guess).

Man I dunno what it is with devs not just making sacrifices to keep that fps up. Such a freaking disaster the XBO version of JC3 sounds.
However, the memory leaks of it sounds like pure incompetence from the developers.

After watching Anno 2205's QL, I bought and played for some five hours. Boy, it is fun!
I'm playing on the easiest difficulty because I never played this kind of game (no Civ, no Tropico, no Sim City, etc.) and it's not as difficult and intimidating as I thought. I'm especially glad that they let me take my time building my city before advancing the story.

Waiting for my 960 and 16gb of ram to arrive.
I need to upgrade my PC ASAP.
Say what you want about MGSV, technically that game is pretty amazing on consoles.

Just Cause 3 was already on my "Won't play until Summer 2016" list. Backlog is massive already.
