I was most worried about the story and the game getting boring and limited but seeing Jeff's review has me a lot more excited now.

Bakalar?
I would call that crazy.
I like Zelda and Mario, but having a PS4 and Xbox One I see no reason to get a Switch right now. At least not at these prices. Maybe by the end of the year it could be worth it.

See, here's the thing, I see the switch completely as my vita and 3ds replacement. It exists separate outside the main console.
Unless one really, REALLY, wants Zelda I see no reason why to get a Switch right now. There are so many great games out there.
I really want Zelda tho so I'm gettin a Switch #YOLO #mybankaccountwhitemanblinkinggif

I was going to get a Switch for Zelda alone, but it's a huge bonus to have Binding of Isaac available at launch as well.
can't tell if serious

Well, near launch anyway.
If you want the Switch for portable gaming then BOI is probably a great game to play on the go

Ideally Switch is the last Nintendo hardware I have to buy in a while to play the two or three Nintendo games a year. Couldn't care less about third party support or w/e.
I've seen some asking for a proper 3DS successor and please no.

Damn good to see Horizon coming through. Though like others said, it's like Far Cry, which is right up Jeff's (and my) alley. Too bad I just started Yakuza 0 and have Nioh on the way, plus the Switch.
Yeah, I'm really excited for one, partially because I really like the hardware, but there isn't much there. I'm getting one cuz I need Zelda + Puyo Puyo Tetris and Rime are coming soon after release, but most people should wait till the fall
That'll be a bloodbath
This too, I'm with Jeff in that I want to see more 3DS type titles announced for it

I have little interest in a portable. I don't want to carry anything around besides my phone. Switch is also honestly too big for that. There might be some times where portable mode could be useful at home to me, but for the mist part I just play in my TV.
Works for me on iOS. Casting is still fucked though.
Embargo might have been just for reviews and not video.

Worked for me last night. Only use it to stream to chromecast though, if that somehow fixes some issue.

Finally back home, time for some BEAST IN THE EAST. Also, dang impressive job Guerrilla Games. I was going to get the game either way but I'm pleased to know that the game seems to be damn good, now I'm even more excited. I'M BUYING TOO MANY GAMES but that's a good problem to have, going to be a fantastic year for games once again.
Fuck
Fuck
Weird every video just stays black for me
And I tried to download beast in the east and lit gave me a 404

Good for Horizon, it's hard for new IPs to get traction.

I don't really rate Jeff's opinion when it comes to narrative. The two reviews I've read criticized the game's self-serious, humorless tone, which is what I got from trailers and previews too. It seems like an interesting world with a bland story.
Also Jeff is the guy that thought reading a wiki page was a fair assessment of a game's story, so

Drew becoming a meme is up there with random Big Brother gifs becoming memes. How does it happen and why so far after when the gifs first surface? I will never understand the internet. Shit is just random.
I'd just be worried that if they take too long to finish one they wouldn't want to do any more after the first.

Why I will never trust a Brad review again.
Combination of utility, the joke itself, and the shortness of the gif. It's a very simple, straightforward reaction that isn't over the top and yet is still humorous due to the close up shot. It's an expression that can be applied to a lot of things. The joke formula (y, x, y:drew) is simple and short, allowing it to take off on Twitter where most of this stuff is born. It also started with a somewhat controversial topic, which always creates traction.
Also Drew is handsome as fuck so that probably has something to do with it.
That's where you're wrong. Drew's ascension to memehood is clearly part of the divine plan.
That's looks like Swedish to me

I would have given MGS V 6 stars

It's just basic joke execution.
The game part of it is excellent but with boring environments and a such a shitass story it's not even close to a five star game.

The Switch is a wonderful-looking and versatile portable that I can throw into the bag I'm always carrying around, and that I can use to play Nintendo games and indie games on the train. The fact that I can use it on the TV is neither here nor there- I will doubtless do that occasionally, but I use my 3DS more than any console at home anyway.

I would use my 3DS more IF THE STANDBY TIMES WEREN'T SO GARBAGE.
And the fact that they did some garbage where the thing can barely draw a charge if you hook it up to a battery pack.
God, at some point I just got sick of it hardware wise, which is why I'm looking forward to the switch. I even see the switch more as a vita successor than a 3DS successor. A no compromise, high end handheld.

MGSV played great but the thing it's missing is what I think most long-time MGS fans want in an MGS game, mainly the bonkers ass story and characters.

Minty destroyed that DF thread.
I would have settled for a decent story and characters tbh.

what you use for smoke meme bro
Woke up to high praise for a Guerrilla game. I'm actually shocked at how well it's been reviewed.
I mean, it barely had these two major things to begin with. The only two redeeming qualities it had was it ran well and it had absolutely top-notch gameplay. The story, characters, and well everything else was shit.
