Good.
They're very close to the end if they mainline it. Might be on the second to last chapter, or thereabouts? Can't remember for sure. They would probably finish the game on the next episode or the one after that, tops.
But if they decide to finish the Real Estate / Cabaret games before advancing, there's like 5 9823209321 more episodes.

Yakuza is too new to be not millenial.
Kiryu is older than a milennial thogh

I'm not saying they shouldn't finish 0 but after that they really should take a long, long, long, indefinite break. It's not their fault. I'd rather watch them play a different game and not the same game again with a different story.

Hmm, I'm thinking about it more in terms of console generations.
Atari-snes = baby boomers
N64-ps1 = gen x
Ps2-Ps3 = gen y (milliniels)
Ps4 = gen z
So seeing that yakuza started on the ps2 it's officially a millenial game.
There's no better extended break than Shenmue 2 baby.

That I can get behind because it's like Yakuza but really, really, really bad.
Watching Shenmue slowly break Vinny was something else.

No, it has to be Vinny.
He needs to help Shenmue find his dad (or whatever it is he was doing)

Shenmue 2 ER needs to happen. I want that episode of listening to cassette tapes.
But think how much more we the viewers will suffer if Dan is controlling it.
It would be great.
Hope she's prepared for all the weirdos

Speaking of weirdo millennials, it's a matter of time before Abby and Ben push the old guard to adopt goofy wacky zany YouTube thumbnails.

This is all payback for Dan for making Drew play through MGSV.

Nice to hear my opinion echoed on the Bombcast regarding E3.
Everything is too safe. Too similar. Not enough new IPs. Not enough focus on exclusives. Not enough competition driving each company to be truly the best.
The industry needs a shake-up.
(Lots of good games were shown and I'm excited for a lot - but that doesn't mean it couldn't be a lot better like it used to be)

Here's something many people haven't realised yet: There will be even less new IPs from now on. Those huge service games? They want you to play them for years, not just weeks. The natural consequence are less games.

I want more Yakuza from them, though it does make me wish they did two episodes of Yakuza 0 per week, finished it a month ago, and had this be a three month break before Kiwami.
You both only speaking of AAA games surely. There is no shortage of smaller, more diverse games.

I feel even indie games are in a bit of a lull lately.
But yes, mostly AAA. I miss the days of consoles having 8-10 amazing new games every year.

Well, there are only indie and AAA games left. AA games are mostly dead.
Look at EA. All they do nowadays are AAA service games and their EA Originals label for indie games, so they can tell everyone how creative they are. That's where I think we're heading. A few VERY big franchises, some "Triple I" indies and regular indies.

Did that really ever happen tho
The quick cut after that is great too

Yes, of course. Look at the PS2 era when the first party line up was incredible, and you had all the third party companies producing original and unique games (some of which may be 'AA' but the point still stands).
I have only played Zelda, but
Persona
Zelda
Yakuza
Nier
Mario Kart
Possibly:
Splatoon
Mario
Wolfenstein
Destiny
Uncharted
Rabbids
Xenoblade
Yakuza 6
??
We already have at least 5 amazing game for each console and more to come later this year.
Some people need to take off the Nostalgic Goggles, maybe 98 and 01 had stronger games, but this year is set to be the best one yet

I mean, I'm not gonna get in a list war or a taste debate, but that's not exactly a strong list in my opinion.
I am curious to hear what you would consider a strong lineup then.
Yeah, this is easily one of the strongest years I can remember. Horizon, Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0 and Kiwami, Fire Pro
fuck you it's the best
shenmue 5

Indie games are getting bigger and bigger too.
Stuff like PUBG is easily comparable to "AA" games and probably more popular than those ever where. Games like The Witness, Yooka-Laylee, SOMA, Battletech, Torment or Vampyr could easily count as "AA" games in my opinion. That's not a mark of quality or anything, but one shouldn't just discount those games while raving about stuff like Psi Ops or Timesplitters.

Some might say that it's the best time to be playing games.

You could say that an indie game, night in the woods, is a top 3 goty already

With The Witcher 3's planned update for the PS4 Pro and Xbone X, will it qualify as a GOTY contender?
I think so. We should start a petition.

That's too Millennial and hence not eligible for GOTY.
Hopefully that and the my first E3 pod will stamp out any concerns people had about those two joining

I really need giantbomb to quick look this to know what it's about. Seems like a pretty obscure game.

So apparently it's a game that's been released already so that's an enchanced edition? All these fucking remasters this gen.
