I made a thing:
Used the XCOM 2 Propaganda Centre demo so that's why they look so much better. (There's no equivalent for Vinny's hat and I forgot to switch his beanie out with something else, so, yeah.)

I retconned the fiction and now Dan is Australian.

The latest Blue Bombin' is so good. They should have Austin as a guest in every GBEast video. And podcast.
Cool! I didn't even think about all the poster/photo possibilities if they end up doing an XCOM 2 run after this. And they could add all their characters to the character pool and share them!

Bujingai.
Good enough for PUBG but not good enough for GAF.
Also this 100/50 posts per pages thing is the worst thing on gaf.

It is almost comical how angry people are getting.
And i don't even think dan meant for it to be like this.

I can't help but notice that you aren't all talking excitedly about Age of Empires 4 all the time which makes me uncomfortable to be in this thread

Took a look at the comments.
Yikes. People really take their XCOM seriously.

I mean, there isn't much to talk about. Give me gameplay pls.
The people demand an explanation for all the coffins of dead soldiers coming from the battlefield
Someone has to be responsible for our dead war heroes!
All this, while Dan struggles with survivors guilt.....
Edit: and i hope AOE4 is not WWI/WWII but something more historical again. I need my paladin army to kill fools again.

Is that something like europa Universalis.

Well, I mean Dan took what could have been a interesting long running series with lots of ups and downs and ran it into the ground for a few cheap jokes. I guess we have to hope for a hail mary from Abby and Alex, but they're probably still too inexperienced with the game to salvage this and god only knows what will happen when Dan returns.

Only after dinner and a movie.
Are we really going to pretend this was going to be a long run even without Dan being Dan.
Geez people are really upset at Dan huh. This is almost Metro QL levels of anger. I wonder if he'll see this as a lesson like he did for Metro or dismiss the comments. He probably expected some clapback, but not at this scale.
There are some valid criticisms in there (e.g. not as fun to watch him intentionally do bad, rather than have the mistakes happen organically like with Abby and Alex) but a lot of the comments *are* overblown. I wish people would take easy.. threatening to unsubscribe from premium just because of this one video is a bit much.

Is that like Die Siedler but worse?
Love Civ, Siedler and Anno (but haven't played the last two franchises in ages), never played much else. Tell me which game to buy or to be excited about. I don't really like RTS.
Not really tbh. People can express their dissatisfaction however they like and from a consumer pov hitting the wallet and making the numbers go down is about the ONLY real form of power a consumer has. Even online criticism mostly only matters insofar as it pertains to how it affects the numbers that have value.

Vinny: "Dan, there's a gun fight happening"
Dan: "I don't have a scope"
Jeff: "....fucking WHAT?"
lmao. I love how much of a hoarder Dan is in PUBG.

Though really, for as much as Dan love cool guys he sure isn't trying to be one.

Just wait until he has to fight a wolf while being shot at when he tries to escape from prison.
Alex and Dan are going to fight?!?! 😱😱😱
Is Dan's self-love a real thing or played?
A silly question I guess...
And Jeff is shooting him??

Longer than a few episodes at least. And regardless I do think there was merit to the original premise, that watching them struggle, even if they fail, would have been interesting and entertaining, and that it's perfectly fine to be disappointed that Dan decided to torpedo the whole thing on his own.

To be fair i don't think dan is actually trying to torpedo the feature. I genuinely think that he thought he could do his "keep me safe" schtick without incurring too heavy of a penalty early on.
He's just very bad at the game.
You can see with how he moved the vip directly under the thin man lmao. He's too rash and also doesn't know how the cover system works.

They can still salvage it from here. I also don't think Dan deliberately tanked the feature, he just played too recklessly.
I don't think the mission would have gone much better with Abby or Alex in control either.

I don't think Dan lost soldiers intentionally. And i honestly doubt any of the others would have made it out without casualties. Arguably there could have been even more.
None of them understand how cover, height and flanking works, and in this mission that gets punished heavily. Both, Abby and Alex, were even more reckless than Dan with putting soldiers in absolutely terrible positions.
There was no way they got out May not completely crippled (remember, there's this scripted mission, the terror mission, and if they capture the next alien: mutons). It's their first time playing ironman, they need some time to learn the game.

He reviewed XCOM 2
He should know how the cover stem works
I seriously think he doesnt.
Antiwhippy

X-com also actually has really good ui design too for letting you know what cover you're entering.
You know how there's cover in the game from watching Abby and Alex though, right? That's all you need to know.
