Just finished watching the Gravity Rush QL I just don't think its the game for me. I understand the appeal I really like the music and visuals. But the gameplay is a little flat for me after the Demo and watching this.
 
I feel like such a jerk but I just really don't like Jason driven QLs

But I'm actually super interested in gravity Rush 2 I really enjoyed the Vita game and had fun with the demo

Haven't watched it, but based on their comments from the Bombcast, I'm assuming Jeff and Jason aren't positive on GR2. Still makes me sad because GR was a genuinely interesting and fun game, the demo for 2 was great, and it won't ever see the credit it deserves.

Kat and GR are pure gems.


Ehh...emails won't be as interesting with Dan heading to the big apple. Maybe he could handle all them sleeper hits?

Gravity Rush was great, especially the PS4 version which alleviated the awkward controls from the Vita version.

GR2 looks fantastic too.

This QL was bad.

Don't know if this has been asked but will the guys be covering the Nintendo Switch thing ? I want to stay up till 4am but I'll REALLY stay up if they are steaming it.
 
I miss that segment. Especially their reaction to that salt candy, whatever it was called.

On the Bombcast, I'm pretty sure they mentioned they'd be talking about it on a Friday stream.

I might have to go with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix here. That felt like some Newgrounds bootleg browser version of Street Fighter, but Jeff apparently loved it. Then again, he also liked Divekick.

MK vs. DC would be second choice. That game wasn't that great even by MK standards, and was completely inferior to Deception and Deadly Alliance. Don't know what Jeff was thinking with that one.

Yep, has to be this. 5 stars?

I think Limbo is the worst game on that list, but I get why people liked it. I think MKvDC and Syndicate are definitely the most "wtf" games on there.

I see one you missed. LittleBigPlanet 2 in 2011 was a 5/5. So, both MM developed LBP releases were 5/5 (both were Jeff reviews).

So, what does everyone think the worst game to ever receive a 5-star review is?

These wouldn't be 5-star games to me:

Gears of War 2
Grand Theft Auto 4
LittleBigPlanet
Mortal Kombat vs DCU
Infamous
Killzone 2
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Limbo
Super Meat Boy
Skyrim
L.A. Noire
Uncharted 3
Diablo 3 circa 2012
Sound Shapes
Bioshock Infinite
DmC circa 2013
Gone Home
Jazzpunk (4 stars)
Inside
The Witness

The most egregious ones are probably L.A. Noire, Killzone 2, and Bioshock Infinite.
