I absolutely hated Heavy Rain and Beyond, but I'll probably still play his new game. Dunno why I keep doing this to myself. Probably because his games are fascinating if nothing else.
I'm part of the problem.

You weren't lying. Holy shit.

I thought heavy rain was OK until THAT scene.
I thought Heavy Rain was ok, but it also did not make me want to play Beyond so I skipped it.
To sum up Cage's games: The writing isn't good enough to carry the game and the gameplay isn't good enough to compensate for the writing.
Same goes for Nomad Soul and Fahrenheit. Although Fahrenheit started out interesting but then went off the deep end.

That first hold-up was expertly done. Nice.

Fun fact: in the french version of Fahrenheit, the hero was voiced by the actor who dubs Keanu Reeves in all his movies.
It makes the game that much more hilarious when it turns into a rip-off of The Matrix.

I like Cage's games, if only because they are interesting attempts at something different in the medium. He was smart enough to realize 10+ years ago that there was a market for games that aspired to more than disposable mindless fluff. And he's right; I love the dumb fuckery of Saints Row 4, but I hunger for and appreciate more thoughtful fare like Gone Home or The Stanley Parable or The Longest Journey.
He misses the mark, sometimes quite badly, and needs a different writer, or at least an editor, to reign him in.
But that the medium is finally creating adult games that aren't juvenile titillation with some regularity is amazing to watch.

I think I dropped the game soon after the main character gained the ability to jump like 50 feet in the air in a cutscene/qte. Unless I'm remembering wrong, the game went real dumb a couple hours in.

I don't really remember slot machines in arcades. Those are usually in different places. Arcades are just arcade games and those UFO machines.
I guess Drew didn't really mention where the slot machine was but in the next slide they were in an arcade playing Mario Kart. Maybe the slot machine was in a bar which, hey, I would have an easier time avoiding those.

Dan and Drew is such a good combination. Drew's reaction to Dan saying "Oyo?"

This sounds like a terrible idea and I love it.

That Sherlock Holmes game looked pretty cool actually, pretty polished. Voice acting was a little goofy at times but that's part of the charm I'd say.

For some reason I want to see Vinny play through Shadow of mordor, he was having so much fun in that stream.

I see he is learning. That did end up resulting in a successful neck break. Interesting that he tried to incorporate so many extra buttons into the mix. I like the experimentation.
Also fine. I enjoyed that stream quite a bit.

Has Jeff ever played a Fire Pro game? The match pacing in Fire Pro has always been fantastic.
That's a good point. There are a lot of mediums with poorly written stories without the wrestling. I don't think he really likes wrestling as a whole all that much anymore though, at least that's the vibe I've gotten from him.
Jeff referenced Ghost Problems in the WWE quick look...bwahaha.
That was a classic QL moment for those who missed it the first time: http://youtu.be/P_-YZ6aABrs?t=1h7m56s
