Unless Dan or Alex learn to handle video production I imagine he will keep being there.

All the alphas and betas were excellent. Only wish I had a Pro. On base PS4 the 60fps mode is 720p. But at least there is a 60fps mode.

According to QL Crew, Dan and Alex have never been in a video alone together.

There are like 2 or 3 Gbeast videos total that Vinny isn't on.

20 seconds in and Dan has already brought up Metal Gear. Check.

Hitman and Yakuza are actually both series that I wasn't interested in until I learned of their unrealistic goofy side. Just like metal gear which plays it straight on the surface while having tons of silly shit.
Because Dan would be dead.

I suspect alex would off himself before he'd kill someone else.
Dan would be a murderer by proxy.

Brad and Dan sold me on Hitman with those first episodes. Watching Mary play Yakuza on a UPF a couple of weeks ago made me really want to play it. It looked legit.
Metal Gear isn't a game that I give a lot of acclaim, if I'm being honest. It's not that I don't like it, it's that they mostly don't interest me. I played through a lot of 4, but I never finished it. Thought 5 looked cool, but I haven't gotten around to it. Listening to Dan over the years is probably the most I've been exposed to the series. His enthusiasm for the series is great.

THPS5 is the highest-rated 3D skateboarding game on this generation of consoles.

I wish they started with Yakuza 1 and did it in released order.
This is like playing MGS3 first.

Do they stay only in Chapter 1 for the first episode?
Once you factor in the ridiculous amount of sub stories and minigames, which are some of the best parts of the games, it's literally double that at the minimum.

All it took was one episode to convince me that I should just buy and play Yakuza 0.
Still gotta get through Dark Souls 3 first though... and then Persona soon...

If you only focus on the story content then they tend to all fall in at about 20-30 hours, getting into side content can blow the playtime up to around the 100 hour mark.
GBeast won't hit that but given that they do want to do some side content I wouldn't be surprised if the playthrough ended up being about 50 hours long.
But that would mean playing the PS2 version of Yakuza 1 which seems like a poor choice when there's a remake due out in a few months.

The GBA sp part of game tapes is amazing

yeah if they (or anyone) skip the substories in Yakuza games, they're doing themselves a massive disservice. that's where many of the best and most memorable parts are found. If you're not setting in for the long haul with those games I'm not sure what you even want out of them. a sub-optimal experience?
that isn't to say that you have to play all the arcade games or whatever, but you should really do the substories

They should record 5h per session and release an hour each a day for the week or just dump it all on the side on Monday.
I reeeeally hope they don't play all the games. Thats like 2 years of yakuza content. :/

"There's not enough content baghhh!!"
*new video series comes out*
"There's going to be too much content bahhhh!!!"
🤔😂😅😐
You make that sound like a bad thing.
And it's more like five years of content if they do one video a week.

I think that's a rather disingenuous interpretation of what Lunar was saying.
Too much content I barely even want to watch. You think that's going to stay interesting for years?

Yeah that sounds like a more accurate time frame. At least if it takes that long they can play the inevitable remakes of everything rather than the originals.

"So a loan shark, is that like Dog the Bounty Hunter?"
"No, that's a Bounty Hunter"
This is gonna be a great series.

Ah, gotcha! I can see them just fine on my Nexus 6P, on desktop they're just rectangles.

I'm sure the remake will be good bit I'd rather watch them play the original to experience what we all did on the PS2.
Well... 'all' dozen of us.
I finished in 33 hours, but i missed A LOT of side content.
There is a lot in this game to get absorbed in.
But yes, if they stuck to the story/did sidequests only when randomly wandering into them, then yeah, 30 hours is doable
I never skipped a subquest, but i definitely didn't run into all of them.
And honestly the story gets so good I felt really compelled to finish it

Yeah for some reason I'm super hyped for it. I think it's a combination of being disappointed with the gameplay of Gravity Rush 2, and my need to play a challenging linear action game a la Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden before the glut of open world games in March.
I was going to do some story missions last night, then I ran into this place. I had gotten Ultimate God Speed Gears out of my first vending machine try but didn't know what it was for.
I was just going to do few races, but then I did more....then I got wrapped up in other drama there...this game lol
He can still be in the office to start it and stop the recording - while getting on with all the admin and prep work he talks about having to do.
They certainly talked Vinny up as a "guest appearance" in this ep.
Likely longer if they do side stuff and keep this pace.
I mean. it takes as long as it takes. The games are not going anywhere. I imagine they will go until they get bored, the audience gets bored, they run out of games, one of them leaves the site,
CBS shuts them down or Trump starts WW3
Just don't want it be another mgs5 situation where both the duders and viewers wanted the series to be finished.
That Jaffe game is out in April.
I hope he goes all Trump/Spicer attacking the press and calling reviews fake news.
Maybe. Will have to see how it goes. Hopefully they are open to changing plans if it starts to drag on.
If they put out multiple eps a week there would be people complaining that nearly every premium feature out of East was Yakuza.

None of the games are as boring to watch as MGSV except for maybe the first quarter of 3.
