All these pixel art platforming roguelikes are starting to blur together.

I'm just going to say it....it's a roguelike platformer.
pls stop indies
Well, it is their highest viewed video on the site. Here's also a bigger version.
Writing something off immedately just because it's pixelart or has roguelike elements is way too reductive and quickly getting up there with classics like "Walking simualtor, not a game" and "looks like a PS2 game" that I expect from the average youtube comment.
Nah.
Hype for an announcements and using the full review scale are two different things.
To me they did come off trying a bit too hard to be snarky/ironic, basically the same thing sites like Joystiq and Kotaku etc used to do for literally every article/headline like 5 years ago, and I kinda feel everyone else has moved on from that schtick.

I watch GB E3 conferences partially for the level-headedness, but also MST3K riffing on the weird shit that is E3. The hype reactions from journalists are basically the same as YouTube react videos, which everyone hates. As a fan? Sure, get really excited. But I don't get why people are against professionals not getting overly excited about the products they're covering. Especially since the "Year of Dreams" conference was 2 years ago and 2 out of the 3 games that made it special aren't looking playable till 2020.
The best part is Jeff's total lack of enthusiasm

I mean it's not try hard when they literally have no interest in any of the 3 announcements lol. For good reason too. I mean I love the last guardian but at that point it's "fucking shit or get out".

If rumours or true. E3 2017 should be a big year for Shenmue news with remasters of 1+2 and hopefully a updated on 3.
Cant wait for reactions.

I mean vinny+alex+dan has been playing a shemnue game for 3 months except waaaay better so I'm interested to see how they would react.
You're a totally forgettable.

Well, A) Nah.
and B) the eventual quality of the games announced is besides the point anyway, as you can only know that in hindsight.
I think you mean "Shit or get off the pot".
Anyway, I thought those 3 games were interesting announcements regardless or if you were looking forward to them or not, just because they all had a lot of industry baggage around them.
The MST3K style riffing works for funny production fuckups or dumb celebrity cameos and such, but for the games i prefer some more straight up reactions.

TLG is my game of the generation and probably my top 3 all-time. So no.
Zero investment in Shemue 3 or FF7R despite liking the originals a lot tho. Both will disappoint, I'm 99% certain.

Look, I'll give that shemnue and FF7 are total snoozefests but the last guardian is Top 5 games of this generation.
How many tables have you danced on in the past 24 hours?

My man. TLG fans unite.
Except that nier automata is game of the generation. >_> <_<
can't wait to see the gamer fashion blogs tear Dan apart
But being a platformer/metroidvania and rogue like are gameplay elements. It's okay to be tired of them.

ARMS is OK. Not OK enough that I'd buy it at full price when I'm pressed for time. But totally okay OK.
TLG I get and Shenmue fans are crazy so of course that gets a response but I'm very wary of FFVIIR. To modernize it they're basically putting FFXV combat into FFVIIR, and FFXV really was a letdown. I'm sure for fans of FFVII they'll love it but I'm not sure people coming to it for the first time are going to enjoy it

I'm not a fan of Dan raising his voice to defend a point. It annoys me and happens too often.

But what if they use the gambit system?

Actually I wouldn't mind that because XII is the only FF I really liked.

The Last Guardian is really good but so far it's the only game that made me wish I had a PS4 Pro. Frame rate and responsiveness on the regular PS4 are real rough.
I get wanting to play The Last Guardian but was it that much of a surprise? It was bound to appear eventually. And we had already seen how it plays anyway. It was a known quantity.
Shenmue was something I get people would get excited but assuming everyone has to go crazy for it is ridiculous.
The reaction that then led to backlash was embarrassing to watch.

The last guardian is the game that made me buy both a PS3 and PS4 Pro.
Though for the PS4 Pro I made damn sure this time that it was going to release before buying it.
Were you following TLG at all? I was fucking done by the time that re-reveal happened. It was either show me the receipts or it ain't happening.

That would be fine but it doesn't look like it. This sure as hell looks like FFXV's combat system to me:

I adored TLG. My 2016 list. Also, I played it on my regular PS4 but will probably replay it sometime this year on my pro.

Where was this from?
Sony's E3 'Year of Dreams' press conference. Giant bomb really should tone themselves down this year.

Man, I can't stand the art style in the last couple Hot Shots Golf games. The character design is fine, but the mix of cartoony characters and objects in a low-detail "realistic" environment is ugly in a way that gets the hell under my skin. Same goes for some of the TT Lego games, too. (And, like, Playstation Home.)
Austin looks weird.
Someone please create a GIF of the moment during the last UPF where
Jeff can choose OLD GAME or NEW GAME in a menu and selects NEW GAME.

All of those sound like great things to me!

lol I know there is two different videos in that gif. But the guys' reactions is from which?
I don't know what you're talking about, it was from that E3 conference.
I think they were opening loot boxes in Dota on a UPF, or something like that.
