I've played about every game released in the last 7-8 years with roguelike/lite in its description and man, I wish I could get into Dead Cells the way everyone else seems to. I have no major issues with the game, but I will play one run every few months and when I die I have no urge to immediately start another one. With Rogue Legacy I would play again and again and again. And though I'm not going to jump into this one until it's done, it looks like I'd do the same with this.
I get that being not-the-best in a franchise that has some of the best games of all time makes a difference, but I will never understand the hyperbole around how awful Skyward Sword and Mario Sunshine are.
As soon as they announced Hitman 2 want going to be episodic I was bummed, because I knew it meant we weren't getting as much Hitman content on the site. This video was so good, but it only left me wanting more. I think I could watch them play Hitman all day.
Everybody here getting mad about RDR2. I'm sitting here all mad Dan continues to trash the PSP. I don't know if there's a more underrated game device in history.
Aww man I haven't watched this but I was incredibly psyched when I saw this in the upcoming videos list because I had it in my head that, after the conversation on the Beastcast, it would be something like Alex guiding Dan through Civilization (which is an AMAZING concept for a series btw) and this isn't that? I guess that's my fault for assuming, but man.
Ben was unrelentingly negative and cynical in this episode. Amico, R-Type (which honestly is still a great game), Vita, wet naps. Just shit on everything. I think the jaded game industry attitude is starting to take over already.
I think the audio/video review can work, with tinkering on the length/focus. However if this is the template for written reviews going forward I have to wonder why you'd bother. Is it just to give a quote for Metacritic?
@tonicbh: Sonic being even the second worst fighting game was already a gross bastardization of science. I ain't going to claim the game is a masterpiece, and one can only take this list so seriously, but seeing the list of games above it is insane.
