I find your suggestion kinda dismissive and snarky, but in case it's not:For that they should consider doing launch day group streams, to maximize the interest in a game.
How is it dismissive and snarky? I'm being serious.I find your suggestion kinda dismissive and snarky, but in case it's not:
Based on what's been said in the past (and unless something has changed with people's schedules), launch day group streams aren't particularly possible -- unless the launch day is Tuesday (or maybe Friday).
I read it as "if they want to do this, they should only do it if <impossible condition is met>" .
Agreed. Been lackluster for a little while nowDevil May Cry 5 on the group stream today... aaaand that's another one I'll pass on. What happened to their creativity? They're always just playing new releases, no matter if the games fit the group stream format or not. It's been brought up on CoJ multiple times and Jones said that he wants to mix things up a bit again, yet nothing changes. See you at the next Hall of Greats, I guess...
Wow that sounds amazing I had no idea devs/publishers were sending them this kind of stuff. I don't usually follow their twitch group stream tho. Was all of this recent?Their Dev/Show swag has picked up lately
Castlevania Netflix show sent a poster signed by a ton of people for the spoiler mode
Capcom sent the RE2 Remake Japan posters
Capcom sent the DMC light
A while back Santa Monica sent them a number of GOW shirts

Group stream was great tho
We even got excellent bet stakes out of it
I dunno, maybe try watching first. It was a really fun night. Just watching the Japanese pre-vis stuff together was worth it. I get that people want some more creative stuff from time to time, but a lot of that energy has been put elsewhere lately, and I can't see any scenario where we would have skipped something as hype and bonkers as DMC5.Just want to give one more vote to the stream picks being kinda boring sometimes. I just don't feel like watching this one at all and have noticed I've been skipping these more lately. The tournament streams were my favorite ones as well, so it's a bit of a bummer. Would really enjoy to see them trying older games for tournaments if there's not a new game that fits the format.
I understand why they're doing new releases, but yeah, just no interest in seeing a lot of people watching someone play DMC.
Well, it's mostly because I tried a few other streams like this and didn't get into them so much. Don't get me wrong, you all do a lot of great streams and I already have a hard time catching up with everything! Just didn't feel much about the latest new release ones, but it's good to know that you guys wanted to do this one and had fun with it. Just miss the tournaments and stuff more "gimmicky" for the group stream, but didn't mean to sound as rude/dismissive as my post sounded now re-reading it.I dunno, maybe try watching first.

Haven't watched a full group stream in a while. Girlfriend who is a patreon also brought it up.
Where are the multiple controllers?
Tournaments?
They should stop starting new saves everytime they start a single player game. Who wants to watch the boring tutorial + starting enemies.
yeah and that's basically hampering some of these streams for me. Like I get why they do it but meh. I prefer when they are like 4 or 5 people as well than full squadPeople who don't want spoilers for areas they haven't gotten to yet. It's the issue with playing the latest games.
They did with Anthem and Division 2 (this happened Monday)

The DMC5 stream was ultimately more fun than I expected, but I still can't shake the disappointment that that was the ONE group stream we'll get this week. I dunno. I think now that the "let's get the gang back together" vibe of the garage is gone, the group streams are starting to feel a bit perfunctory, especially when they're just "The Gang Plays the Flavor of the Week." I don't demand a creative stream every week. We know that burns you out. And I appreciate the creativity that is applied to these kinds of streams, but I still long to see a group stream game pop up on the schedule that gets me excited. Like seeing Pokemon Snap show up and going "oh, well that's something I HAVE to see."
Oh I know it's totally subjective. I didn't mean to apply it to everyone here. It's just been my thoughts as we've been talking about the Group Streams. I think the main problem for me is that in the past, regardless of "hype," the streams end up becoming too meme-driven, completely unrelated to the game. This isn't always the case, obviously, but it happens a lot and it can be a bit frustrating. Especially if you don't watch the whole thing and you miss the gag, so you pop in and everyone is having a great time related to a new meme and you're like "I do not understand what's happening."Do you realize how subjective this is? It is impossible to cater to an audience this way. Even if DMC5 is not for you (it isn't for me either), I would be willing to bet someone out there was saying "Yes! Can't wait to see Ben banter about the bosses in this game, or get Kyle's reaction to Dante's costumes." There will come a time when they move back to older games, but Q1 has been such a hotbed of major releases, almost all of which were highly anticipated by the Allies themselves. First and foremost, beyond their commitment to entertain the audience, they have to do something they're passionate about. If they are excited about the game they are playing, it will translate through to the audience. Just stay tuned for what's coming in the next week or so and I suspect a lot of the charm of the Allies will be on full display.
I believe so, unless it's like a collection of quirky single-player games that they pass around (like the one with the weird Porky game).Seems like group stream night should be multiplayer and full playthrough friday should be single player
Level creator streams for instance are greatI believe so, unless it's like a collection of quirky single-player games that they pass around (like the one with the weird Porky game).
5 months early haha
What's the bet?
Kyle's gonna loose that one.Google will announce TWO games that have never been known prior to the GDC conference.
If they do, Brandon has to produce a live action version of a KH3 cutscene. If they don't, Kyle has to do the same.
