Great to hear that Kyle is going to be on a weekly podcast now. I will be sure to subscribe when I get the chance.

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is currently sitting at 74 on Metacritic. How low did Bosman predict that score would go?
 
From the latest episode, Kyle's absolutely correct about pre-order culture creating false impressions of what a game will look like because the name of the game is to generate pre-orders based on vertical slices.
 
Brilliant point on TitanFun there, and good advice all around.

I can't love these ending segments more than I already do. Just pure, triumph of the gaming spirit.
 
That Gamestop bit is dead fucking on and it's why i pre-order at best buy in-store and online w/ pick up. I walk in to pick-up section where nobody ever is so i skip register lines and i hand them my receipt or online order # and that's fucking it.
 
Good ep, but could have used some editing. A few points were repeated. Get that shit tight so we can arrive at the post-show sooner!

Here's all ten of 'em:
1. Price cut for Xbox One - 80% (89% chance counting a $500 Titanfall bundle)
2. By the end of the year we'll have a new word for microtransactions - 60% (editor's note: I'm all in on "Mattricks")
3. Titanfall has launch issues - 55%
4. Nintendo publishes two games rated T for Teen - ??%
5. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is going to have the worst Metacritic average of the main series and there's nothing I can do about it - ??%
6. Game of the Year hasn't been announced yet - ??%
7. There's another game with celebrity faces - ??%
8. Capcom puts out a trailer for a new Mega Man game, assuming we'll all be delighted, but it's awful and they shouldn't have even bothered - ??%
9. Sony's VR headset is real and I can't afford it - ??%
10. The third game in Nintendo's Sonic the Hedgehog exclusivity deal is really good for some reason - 5%
So far Ground Zeroes is reviewing worse than other mainline MGS games, so it looks like Bosman's gonna get another bet right.
 
That bonus bit nearly killed me.

The tone. The callbacks. The subtitles. Pitch fucking perfect.
 
To be honest some of the bonus-bit stuff is above me since I'm not familiar with MGS, but I liked the regular episode, as (nearly) always
 
I'm so fucking happy to have a guy like this. Bosman you're the voice of reason my friend.

P.S. FUCK PRE-ORDERS!
 
I stopped preordering games for a while now but it really pisses me off when I see I missed extra game content over it.

It's also both parts he mentioned about blindly putting faith in it and not knowing how it's going to perform. Really wish it would go away but I don't think people will ever be able to resist.


Great episode btw. Got me hyped for MGS again lolol
The MGS bit is killing me. Too damn funny
 
I only per-order games that I know I want/will like and usually not far in advance.

Main reason for pre-ordering for me is that I do most game shopping online so a pre-order before release will get me the game on release day or before.
 
The guys over at 4chan are so fucking pissed, saying that the new MGS can be finished in 2h. And there are reports of players finishing around the 18 min mark. Is that true?
 
This guy right here is the Best personality in all media. I laugh at every episode and it is never cheap fart humor either. Kyle only problem is he is maybe too good.
