My publisher won 2019, which was pretty exciting. We drafted less this year since the second half of 2020 is so unknown but left more room for bids. I laughed as I bid for Unannounced Assassin's Creed because I'm pretty sure no one in my league noticed it was available. Only one of them is an EZA fan so hopefully he doesn't watch this till after Monday at 6!
This is a good idea and I would be in.

There is one

But no reason a second one can't be setup if there is enough people.
I think he'd be more stoked if the Giants were going, but yes, I'm sure he's excited about this too.
lol that Gamer's hype/Byleth question made it into the podcast?
it wasn't a horrible question or anything....just yea, not intriguing or enlightening.
or maybe cause I'm on ERA that general discussion happens 2x a week
and there's only 3 in the league.
ignoring some of the sure hitters wouldn't be that smart.
Maybe if they chose like 12 and draft 6 it would address your concern?

well because they only choose 8, and this time had the list of big games right in front of them
and there's only 3 in the league.

I mean, it makes sense from a game theory perspective.
It's just that picking big hyped games is kinda boring from an audience perspective. Unless these games are Fallout 76 level broken there'll all going to get in the 8-9 range from IGN etc.
IMO the more interesting part is if you can pick things that are flying under the radar.
It'd be interesting if the reward was better the less hyped a game was. Or maybe if they just disqualified the top 10-20 most hyped games off the bat.
i feel like there should be more of a reward for picking games that aren't expected to be great but i guess that's hard to do. fantasy sports works because they keep performing over the season, here it is just a one time thing and most things land between 80-89 anyway. maybe some sort of bonus if it isn't a sequel of a 80+ game or something like that.
the way to win here is just picking up as many ultra safe games as possible.

This is sort of why I think it would be cool to take off the restriction for Dropping Games until the point of release, in the same way you can swap out your squad for your bench until they start playing. It adds a layer of keeping up to date with development and also keeping the faith. For example, DOOM was very troublesome on the run up to launch. Reviewers didn't get review copies until release day, leading most to think it was going to be kinda bad. However it ended up blowing people away. Have the ability to swap Doom out and pick up something else would add the ability to react to the performance of a game over time.
Dreams is in early access, it's ineligible based on their settings.
I know this isn't a strict schedule or anything but TLOU2 is coming out on the 29th of May, so it'll be more of a June game.
Mine probably looks something like:
January: KH3 ReMind (plus finally finishing Judgment's brutal plat :( )
February: Backlog month (probably Days Gone and Ys VIII)
March: Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV (comes out in late Feb)
April: RE3 and then FFVIIR
May: Trials of Mana
June: The Last of Us Part 2 (comes out in late May)
It was fantastic but I do kinda feel like something is lost when they're just picking games from the website's own "most popular" list. I think it would've been better if they'd each come up with a list beforehand, like Don did, and voted based on those.
Anyway, the podcast's Sony/E3 discussion was great, particularly Damiani. Like Andi, I'd completely forgotten about that god awful leaked E3 document with all the gross influencer and celebrity bullshit. Ugh. I was particularly surprised that Jones seemed fine with them pulling out of it, of all the Allies I thought he'd be one of those people who really wanted to "preserve" E3 but I was completely wrong.
Ben's hot take on the Cyberpunk's delay, on the other hand, was so absurd I don't even know where to start. If a little game called GTA5 can launch two months before the PS4 and XB1 with no next gen versions in sight and not stop the PS4 from selling out for its first six months, I'm sure the PS5 and Xbox will be fine. Especially since I'm betting Cyberpunk will be available on both systems on day one with significant graphical and performance improvements.
Oh and I'm surprised they didn't bring up the obvious reason why Sony's porting Horizon to PC: The MLB made them do it (:P Mikey Jr. ).
The guy's a machine. If anyone can break that 49ers Defence it's him...
But the full version releases in February 2020. So it should be able to select, no?
No. The rule is "Games that are available on Early Access aren't eligible games to be drafted."
The idea is that it's kind of unfair to be able to play a game that's somewhat representative of the final product but that there isn't reviews for.
The exact text on the FAQ is:
To be honest, I think this posits and interesting question about Showfloor Demos, normal Demos, etc. I mean Bosman literally said himself "Don't pick Biomutant. People have played that, you will lose points."
I don't know, singling out early access only seems a bit inconsistent imo.
They've thrown another spanner in the world's by adding those unannounced games. On a league I'm running, I'm having to manually make then all ineligible, otherwise any old unannounced game could be written in
2 things:
The shoutout part makes me laugh out loud every single time.
Amanda is delightful. Scoop of Troop needs to be a bi-monthly thing.
Really enjoying the allies right now. Great vibes

If Easy Allies ever hire a social media / community manager, after that Scoop of Troop, Amanda is the only one I will accept for the position.

I can't believe they went there...really nice to see them come out and take this stance.
Truly the only downside to the studio is the lack of Sophie. I'm not even a fan of dogs and I've missed her so much.
By this logic, Horizon should be on Xbox, should it not?
Did Minecraft staying multiplat mean every Microsoft first party game went multiplat?
Whoever designed the back cover of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot screwed us out of the chance to see Jones' reaction to the panel pondering the ancient philosophical dilemma of "How many Saiyajins is one Gotenks?"
Still think Sports Guy should be replaced with an Anime monster.
Mario Strikers is some of the most fun I have had in multiplayer. This is sure to be a blast.
This looks amazing, i hope it becomes the (re)start of crazy arcade sports games.
People gave me crap for playing 2016 doom on a ps4 instead of a pc better watch out saying that shit in the streets
The wait for the Switch version will be brutal
I can take the heat
Gimped Doom Eternal is better than no Doom Eternal
Doom 2016 is fun to play on Switch. And I played it docked. Gonna do the same with Eternal.
Don't @ me.
Don't @ me.
Totally agree.
Anime question seems like it has more of a place then History, Vocabulary or Sports.
Hopefully it will be added in the version 3.0.
