Okay, Skillup posted his week in review now, let’s see what breaking news comes out within the next 4 hours.

I'm sensing the Destiny review will be sponsored by Manscaped so that Ralph can say 'The Final Shave'.

29:22 that's my twitch stream! skillup has no idea I've been watching every one of his videos for years, i spit out my drink when I saw it! Thank you guys this is so funny

Holy shit, I thought you were serious with Dino Crisis. God damn it, Skillup, you gave me hope and a purpose for a second just to take it away and I will never forgive you for this.

Let me use Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant (not a bad job at pronouncing that at all btw Ralph), to teach you why German words are so long sometimes. It's because that word is actually 4 words combined into one. Planet = planet, Verteidigung = defense, Kanone = Cannon, Kommandant = Commander. So instead of saying "Commander in charge of the planetary defense cannon", we just combine nouns to make it one word. Works with pretty much everything, which is why you keep seeing long German words on the internet, that actually don't make sense or no one would use. Like Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant, who would actually be called Artilleriekommandant = artillery commander

It is Wednesday my dudes !!!

Once Human actually had like, 5 or 6 betas already and i think its pretty solid

GRRM doing everything he can to avoid finish Winds of Winter

Ubisoft: "There are worlds in our past that need monetising, Expect remakes"

Honestly that pronounciation of Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant was pretty damn good. The accent was noticable of course but I would have understood that without much trouble even without being able to read it on screen.

Hey just a correction, Deck Nine is the studio making the new Life is Strange, DontNod made the first LiS but Deck Nine has been making the sequels

Ralph, Once Human has had a few betas now and it looks really good. I played the first beta and loved it. Didn’t have time for the second one though. It’s definitely been tested and I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people!

For FFXIV/Dawntrail, A LOT of those reviews came out with only like 4-5 hours of gameplay when you are still meeting most of the cast and things are kicking off. Dawntrail had basically ZERO lead in from previous patches (something very common for prior Expansions). So the expansion is required to do way more in the realm of exposition compared to the previous saga which just ended.

AC1 needs the remake treatment the most.

Correction on the Zenless Zone Zero exclusivity to Epic. Hoyoverse have a standalone launcher and the game plus other Hoyoverse games are available non-exclusively to Epic.

On the topic of FFXIV's new expansion, most of the negative feedback I've seen has been people who frankly had their expectations set incorrectly. We were WARNED that the scale/scope of this expansion would be smaller, so I just don't have sympathy for those who are complaining when it's just that. I've seen so many comparisons to how it doesn't stack up to Endwalker, when the entire reason EW was so good is that there were 4 expansions before that set up the story it resolved. You don't get a Shadowbringers or Endwalker without A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood to lay the foundation. And I'd say Dawntrail lines up fine with the quality of those first 3 expansions. Definitely has its faults, and I'd agree a step down from EW, but not nearly as far of a step as many are implying.

Definitely agree about Space Marine 2. All the gameplay I've seen (even in THIS video!) I keep seeing frame drops, and that's just for the single player stuff, can't even imagine how multiplayer is. And with people cooling off on helldivers, they might move on to Space Marine to get their bug shooting fix. I'm in disbelief they are still choosing to launch in a few months rather than just delay it. Fans have been waiting over a decade, we can wait a little longer. Alot of people have their first impression on a game be their only impression so I hope the launch goes well.

I feel like the Zenless Zone Zero part in upcoming releases had a bit of info just missing that some people who aren't in the know about the game would like to know, such as the fact it is launching on PS5 at the same time as PC, as well as the fact that while it's Epic Exclusive by nature of major PC store platform, you can just download the game from Mihoyo themselves and go through their own launcher (which is yet another launcher, the shock and horror of it all) which I know PC players dislike, but it's a big enough note that should be mentioned since people don't actually need to use Epic at all to play it. Edit: Yea the Epic Exclusive part may not be the biggest issue due to all the people who only use the Epic Store to claim free games that they will never play at all, but it's still misinformation claiming it's only playable via Epic on PC when it isn't, which is the main thing I was addressing. Also yea yea yea "Gacha Game = Bad Game", but both Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are both gacha games from Hoyo that players have been able to clear endgame content without interacting with the gacha system at all, it just requires a bit more thinking and planning about your teams and builds, so take that as you will. The only actual content one might struggle with if they decide to ignore the gacha system completely is the hardcore endgame mode, which only rewards more gacha currency, so why would a player who doesnt gacha at all, care about more gacha currency anyway?

I am SO BUMMED to hear about that Street Fighter movie. Those brothers were seriously the perfect directors for it >:-/
