For me depending on how this will turn out it will mostly come down to communication as it often does. If stuff got in the way and retros are delayed over the year that's ok for me personally if communicated in advance. What kinda doesn't sit quite right with me is if they're silent to the last minute of when the "patreon year" is over to come to the conclusion it's not happening.
Damn, I know what video you're talking about and can't seem to find it either. I wonder if it was removed during the transition into Death Battle.
Since all the old SA videos have been made private on YouTube, I see why someone could have a hard time finding those. They're all still on RoosterTeeth's website, though, if you know what to search for.
Ha, I should have guessed the "I won't buy it on principle" crowd would end up watching it on Twitch.
I thought they were all crazy for not betting on Metro even back when they were shooting the podcast. Crackdown had no hype, Jump Force features a lot of popular characters but looked pretty bad, and New Dawn was never going to be as big as a new numbered Far Cry game would've.
Maybe they are planning to announce something on their anniversary, but I do agree that they probably should post about it on Patreon the more that I think about it. It's probably hard to write down an update post and not spoil any of the retros that are in the works, but I do agree that Kyle's Box Peek updates are really good and they probably can do something similar.
I actually thought Metro and was surprised when no one said it. Where's my prize?
It doesn't do anything for me either, but it's just that this type of game doesn't interest me at all.
i'm in a bit of that state right now. i'm mostly thinking oh, i should play something now and draw a blank aside from some multiplayer stuff. i guess i'm mostly waiting for yakuza kiwami to unlock (today's the day!) so as to not commit to anything else big at the moment.
I'm stuck playing SoulCalibur V and Apex Legends exclusively. I should be playing KH3 I think.
Why did you choose such poorly regarded games?
Not sure. I stopped RDR2 to play KH3 but since I finished it I haven't gone back to RDR2 and I need to soon before I lose the drive to play it. I've been playing rocket league instead, also started playing overwatch again after a few months and the community is still horrible:/
What sucks about Anthem right now is that it has the bones to be great, but it's mired by some very frustrating details/mission design/bugs that make it too hard to enjoy. I feel like this was the case with Destiny as well as The Division: they're very fun, but not for very long. There's a very small part of me that wonders if the plan for these GaaS games is to intentionally overhype themselves, get tons of non-refundable pre-orders and then ride the wave of bad press for a year before coming 'round with a big redemption patch/expansion. It's FAR too common for all of the GaaS looter-shooters to run into the same problems that other games have fixed. Like in Anthem, being able to pull Masterwork weapons from world chests?? The same weapons that are supposed to be the big rewards at the end of the highest-difficulty Strongholds??? That's ridiculous, but it's also something Destiny 2 ran into (giving out raid loot as clan rewards), and they eventually patched that out.
And maybe for that reason Huber might dig it, especially if Jones and Blood join him on Thursday. But I think you're right: most gamers don't have IRL friends who game and if they do, they may not all be into the same kinds of games or have the time to game together. I have friends and family who play games, but it would take a miracle to get them to play Anthem with me, so myself and others have to sort of resign ourselves to playing it as a single-player experience. Which is why it's very quickly losing its appeal for me: it's just not worth it. I'll give it another go after the patch, but I doubt much will change.
Don't drink beforehand or during the episode to begin with ;) (please don't do this, it's not healty)
If you have a pair of wireless headphones it's a good way to just walk around a room
What principle are people not buying Metro over? First I heard of it.
