I don’t mind the dudes having different opinions on games but it usually feels like Jeff gets the first and last word on things and the others often just fall in line with his opinion.

I can't believe I am hearing the same @unastrike that loves bloodborne and souls games.

why are people so mad at the podcasters for their GOW comments? I've heard mostly praise with some general criticisms. What's the problem with criticizing this game?

@renaissancexd: This is going to sound terrible, but they (especially Jeff) do have a habit of just not loving Sony exclusives as much as a lot of other people.

Couple of case in points from this generation, with games that didn't make their top 10:

Bloodborne

Uncharted 4

Persona 5

Nioh

Horizon

The Last Guardian

Yakuza 0

Until Dawn

Ummm what? Every single game you listed has been given love by either East or West with the exception of maybe The Last Guardian. Hell, Bloodborne got Jeff to play a Souls game.

I'm quite liking God of War but I, too, am not fawning over it like some reviewers. I feel like it's still opening up, though, so I need to keep playing and definitely feel the itch to so that's good.

Also, the Jason spoiler... cmon. You knew that was going to happen in the game. I haven't gotten there but I know what it is and I'm just waiting for it.

By "How to Build a Boat" did they mean "You Must Build a Boat"?

Because I can't find a game called "How to Build a Boat".

I'm more worried about what Respawn will do to Titanfall 3 than EA. TF2 was a big step back in pretty much every way from the first game.

I would love for Jason to scale back on the quipping. You don't need to constantly insert yourself into every single sentence especially if what you mostly offer there is mouth salad. Take no offense, because I actually care about your opinions, and your knowledge on the fighting games genre etc. is interesting to listen to.

I've noticed this recently and it is killing the podcast for me. This is the first podcast I have not listed all the way through and the last few have been a struggle to get through because of this.

Sounds like Jason just wanted an easier game to be able to do the combo stuff successfully. If GoW had yet again incorporated mash heavy combat, I guarantee Jason would be asking for more nuanced, thoughtful gameplay. That spoiler was rough too for those who haven't beat the game yet.

We NEED another NOLF game, but only if it is good. Man NOLF and NOLF 2 is soooo amazing.

Unfortunately, a zealous fandom can get averse to critical takes on a game they love.

why are people so mad at the podcasters for their GOW comments? I've heard mostly praise with some general criticisms. What's the problem with criticizing this game?
