Similar here; it took me a minute to realize they weren't just talking about the PS4 Pro.

well he is right
It's time to stop living in the past, friend. Times have changed.
Pretty sure Brad would say the same thing now

I watched the Nioh quicklook. Brad doesn't seem to be into the game very much. It's weird, and what's weirder is that Jeff, of all people, is into it.
I feel the same way as him. My guess is that many of the people who played a bunch of the Souls games are just kind of burnt out from that game style.

Brad loves loot more than Jeff though

That's not true, we watched him bounce off Monster Hunter pretty hard.
Monster Hunter's not really the same kind of loot.
Remember how much time Brad put into Destiny?

The only loot he cares about is loot he had to pay money for.

Clickers are too active. Real gamers have a fleet of cloud VMs dedicated to running Progress Quest.

If he gets another dog he should name it Bower, so he can tell people it's a 24 reference but it's really from Blue Stinger
In the 9 years since I still haven't seen or heard any reason why this is such a good game. I played it briefly in Rare Replay, I've watched Giant Bomb cover it multiple times, I've heard them talk about it. The extent of their conversations generally seems to be yelling out the name of a pinata.

the best part is that it's basically a gacha game
Are those videos good #content? Should I watch those? Not this game in particular, but in general. Same easy-going style like GB?
Viva Pinata is cute and it's BRAD. Give that man a list of things to do and systems working in the background and he'll love it.
And it's one of the more memorable exclusives we had last gen.
Game Informer is fantastic. It has a larger volume and variety of staff, an enjoyable podcast including interviews with interesting game development heads and has good banter amongst the staff.
That game of 360 talk was painful. All bad opinions. Burnout Paradise. Nein. NEIN.

Super Replay is excellent. Overblood 1/2, Illbleed, Blue Stinger, Tail of the Sun, Half-Life (peak Dan on this one), Cyberia 1/2, and Super Mario Bros 3 are the best ones.
If you watch them, I recommend starting with Overblood, then doing the rest in any order. Don't watch Illbleed before Blue Stinger, though.
Super Replay should be viewed with the understanding that Dan was far more successful at getting under his coworkers' skin at GI. If you've ever been annoyed with "Dan's act" then you might not actually be able to handle when he's the asshole angel on somebody's shoulder while they're trying to deal with some crappy game.
I'm on a different boat. I love Souls games, was pretty much satisfied with what I played of 3 (which was a lot), but when I played Nioh, it made me just want to stop playing that and start a new DS3 playthorugh instead (which I did).
To this date, no "souls-like" game has held my interest at all. Nioh's combat and loot-style did nothing for me.
I will do that. Thanks!

Game Informer 'Replays' and 'Super Replays' are great fun to watch. Replays are basically Playdates and Super Replays are Endurance Runs
They do Test Chambers (which are Quick Looks), but they are usually a bit shorter than what GB do, and are usually less fun because they are more focused on showing single parts of the games.
The list of games they did a Super Replay of is up to 38 (over the course of 6 years), and ranges from good to great depending on the crew and game played. There is a large helping of terrible Survival Horror in there,

I only watched Blue Stinger & Illbleed which are fantastic. Will probably watch the other content during the holidays when there is no GB content.

It also explains why everyone who had to deal with Dan that shows up on GB stuff talks MAD SHIT about him during them hehehe.

oh wait: maybe the Ninja Gaiden Super Replay is peak Dan
He tried that shit on Brad when he first got to GB but he overestimated Brad's ability to care about anything.

The early Mario Parties are good examples.

Getting Brad to try and explain Lord of the Rings and the Red Book of Westmarch to him in the Lord of the Hunt DLC video.

Dan pretending to not understand fantasy kayfabe was a turning point where i realized "oh, this dude's just punking on the rest of the crew, huh"

I'm still not through this Noctropolis video, but man, it's still going places. Like, some dark places you wouldn't think a comic book-based FMV game from the 90's would go.
Oh, right! Corrections music is also a nice touch, almost as good as Waypoint's "peace." If Waypoint didn't do that, I'd be citing the corrections music for good producing instead.

No no, I mean the unboxing video. They did one for Wii U!
