this is like, actually the opposite lol

Wildlands looks and controls like hot garbage. Division at least animates well, the guns have weight, and there are a fair amount of well designed missions.
I think I had more fun in the big open setting of Wild Lands. The vehicles controlled like shit but were ridiculous in their own way.

Also on the mega rare occasion where my group actually used stealth successfully the game actually felt amazing.

So here's something off topic but it's been bothering me:

Jim Sterling... I want to watch his videos because the content is usually pretty solid, but his voice actually grates on my ears. Like no joke here, my ears start to hurt listening to his voice. Does this happen to anyone else?

Xbox One's 1st party output this gen seems to have been pretty meh overall when compared to Nintendo & Sony but next gen should be insane for them w/ all those studio acquisitions.

Also, at least Gears 5 looks promising.

Nah.

Even if he's doing his joke character bit its just very british

Are you telling me I should look at the previous Metro quick look, because I totally missed whatever you're talking about

GB should start quick looking every game twice, once for East and once for West. That way if there are any games I actually want to watch then I can always go for the East version.

The Metro quick look is just bad, it's not a funny joke like the Black Mesa thing.

To be fair though, i've always found the Metro games interesting but never had fun with them.

Nah. Dan just kind of shit on the Metro on in ql and a bunch of people got mad about it.


Edit: It was actually a bad ql irrc since he didn't really explain anything about the changes. Just sort of ranting about how much he hated it for 20 minutes.

Took advantage of what may be the last trade-in promo at Gamestop and got rid of all my "I'm not actually gonna play these am I?" games and ended up with $150 Xbone credit

Might pre-order that MK Premium edition and Metro...

What was the Black Mesa thing?
They spent the entire QL sarcasticly acting like Black Mesa was a new game and not a fan remake of Half Life. Lots of "Oh man, this game is bad, it seems like something out of 1999" "Boy this seems awfuly familiar but there is no way it could be coping any other game ever" "This seems like a game I played in high school, Life Half? I think that's the name of the game, yeah this seems kinda vaugly like that one game. But that game wasn't popular at all"....

Suff like that. It was stupid and pointless. For someone on the fence about buying it or not at the time, it really sucked just being a joke and not actually informing me if the game was good or bad or unneeded remake or anything. It was just a waste. The outrage was stupid because it's literally one of the most obvious things that of course they are joking around, but it was just dumb and not really funny at all.

Discussion reminds me of the one time someone on the staff was explicitly unhappy with how a Quick Look went. It was some 2D plane game that Ryan and Vinny checked out for a brief period of time. Soon after—I think this was stated on the Bombcast—Jeff saw what it was and wanted to rectify how that QL went by describing the game in better detail.

Ah yes, this one:
