Hope they get Lucy on more. She's dope.

Well, besides the technical issues that made me want to punt my controller through my TV (rubberbanding, infinite loading screens, pop-in, freezing, matchmaking, sign-in, YOU NAME IT) there's also some game design issues that I had problems with, namely Fort Tarsis, which I can't even sprint in to get through that boring ass downgraded hub as fast as possible
Fran on Gamescast on Anthem... "It's polished"..."It has the polish of a BioWare game" ???
HOW? Are they blind?
Like I don't want to be an asshole to them, but the game is anything but polished. I put Anthem in my top 10 anticipated list and I don't have a hate boner for EA.
But Anyone who says the demo even without bugs is polished should not be in gaming media. I played the Alpha which wasn't as broken as the VIP demo and the game wasn't polished.
Kinda Funny continue to be trash when it comes to games discussion. I'm sorry but it's the truth.
I'm assuming what they played at the event is different than the demo that just released.
Kinda Funny need to stop the habit of praising or defending broken games.
It was the same way for destiny 2.It's 100% a case of Fran playing in very controlled conditions at the preview event right? Had the public demo even come out when they recorded GC?
I don't think it's a slight against KF... they can only comment on what their experience actually was.
Is it really a habit? I can't really recall any other times that's happened?
And Fallout 76
Yeah, Fran was talking about the preview event. They recorded on Thursday and the public demo didn't start until Friday.It's 100% a case of Fran playing in very controlled conditions at the preview event right? Had the public demo even come out when they recorded GC?

How was Destiny 2 broken? Felt pretty polished when I played it at release.
Greg said he understands all the bugs and realizes the jank but said he had fun. He didn't defend the state of it.
I tried Anthem on my PC this weekend but didn't play that much because RE2 took most of my time.
I thought the gunplay and movement felt fantastic. Honestly before them demo I had less interest in the game.
Gonna try on PS4 during the open demo because I absolutely hate M/KB controls. Pretty sure they said it is mission based and not open world. The loading screens do suck though. Reminds me of old school Monster Hunter.
The running, jumping and flying were awesome though. The main hub sucks. Javelin customization was awesome.
It was less that it was broken like is the case with Anthem and more to do when people played it for more than a week a lot of issues started to arise for those who weren't just casually playing it, at which point Greg and Andrea repeatedly tried to deflect and downplay criticism of it even when it was clear there were serious problems (which was almost universally agreed upon with players once the honeymoon wore off).How was Destiny 2 broken? Felt pretty polished when I played it at release.
Honestly I prefer the more positive view on games that they give, where they can praise or discuss a game even though they're clear that it has problems. The perfect example of this is Tim with Smash... he was very positive on it but also clearly talked about the problems he had with the online and the SP mode. See also RE2 from this week.
If some people see that as shilling then fair enough. But it's honestly a much better way to go about things than some other Youtubers who will just be hyper-negative about anything and everything cos it generates more views.
I agree, that's why Easy Allies and Kinda Funny are the only gaming journalists/personalities I listen toI kind of agree with this. It's nice to see positivity in the vast abyss that is negativity in games.
Yeah Tim with smash is much different than what were seeing with Anthem, Destiny, F76, etc. Tim actually went in on why there are negatives with that game while also saying its probably going to be his most played smash of all time. What were seeing with the former is barely any discussion on the negatives and in the case of destiny, outright deflecting and shielding of its problems. If it were more like Tim I would be all for it. Thats the best way to do it.

But Anthem...
I know, right? Thankfully there are a lot of other games that I am excited about this year like Days Gone, The Outer Worlds, Rage 2, Man of Medan, Ultimate Alliance 3, etc.Remember when you put it as your number 1 most anticipated game? fun times..
I think were past the point in this medium (not just kf) where the peoplegetting flown out to play specialized versions of these games in controlled environments needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt as well as those individuals taking a more active role in cautioning audiences about their experience. Were seeing a lot of cases where what they experience is not indicative of what were ending up with, like is the case with anthem (another great example were the glowing reviews of the MCC).I can't speak to Destiny or FO76 as I haven't played them (although Greg did say last week he put like 12 hours into FO then got bored which is hardly a glowing review) but I can't really fault them on Anthem. Fran went to that event, clearly enjoyed what he played then came back and talked about it. That all happened before the demo went live on the weekend.
I wouldn't be surprised if all shit Bioware have been getting comes up on KFGD tomorrow.
Haha I legit JUST listened to that part. Really good question! It prompted some interesting discussions.
Like Andy I often get sleep paralysis and that is absolutely miserable.
That was awesome! I came here to see if you would say anything about it lol
I said praise or defending. Saying FO76 is fun and bringing it up in multiple podcasts and topics is ultimately praising a broken game.
By itself it's fine. If they gonna become the outlet that gonna defend/praise every broken game and defend lootboxes and most crappy practices, then they will have a reputation. Fair or not.Nothing wrong with that. If they make it clear that these bugs exist and that many people are have issues, why does it matter that they talk about their actual experience of they enjoyed it and didn't run into all of these issues? Seems like a really strange thing to grind them for.
Meant to reply to this before but sleep paralysis has been such a regular thing for all of my life that I just find it to be more of a minor annoyance at this point than terrifying. Things stand out to me from my dreams quite often so I always like hearing what memorable things happen in other people's dreams.
Might be one of the most relatable things I've ever read lmao. I once had it 3 nights in a row, and on the third night of the demon peaking up from next to me to scream in my face I yelled back I was trying to sleep. Some nights it's just a total hassle and I'll sleep horribly because I'll keep getting sleep paralysis every time I fall back asleep. Those nights I normally have to wake up for an hour to even try to get back on track. It's the worst. But agreed, I also find dream discussions insanely interesting.
So it's been a few weeks now, and I've realised something. As much as I like the new content, I really, *really* miss the Morning Show.
I miss it as well, but if it had to die so that KF/AF could live then so be it.So it's been a few weeks now, and I've realised something. As much as I like the new content, I really, *really* miss the Morning Show.
I am so unbelievably happy about this.Johnny Ace was just announced as the new host of debatable!
Followed by Greg screaming and Andy saying: "Wow, I never ever want to be on that show."
