Damn another year of GI podcasts in the books. Shoutout to Watts being added to the squad. Hyped to see what will come next year with all the games dropping. Appreciate all the hard work and great content!

[@Ms5000Watts]

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HERE! And thank you for all accepting me and being so kind

[@Kaiver1551]

The Final GI podcast of 2024 What a great way to close out the Year

[@k-dot-san]

#detroitcustomerservice There was great energy coming from everyone. Thanks for another entertaining 4 hour episode - well worth the wait!

[@Exoterrestrial]

Just a small correction the It Takes Two dev team did have one other game release prior too A Way Out called Brothers A Tale of Two Sons, where you controlled two characters with both joy sticks in a cooperative manor

[@TheArtofKAS]

Phenomenonal end of the year podcast That being said... #detroitcustomerservice because I have to double check the two warranties that I have with Micro Center to make sure I get the full service they promised just in case anything goes down😂😂😂😂

[@thalunizz21]

By far, the best VGA'S in years. Had surprises throughout that were actually interesting. Yeah, too long, and the gacha games were annoying, but I get they have to pay for everything somehow.

[@Ryansrevenge__]

PERFECT TIMING!!!

[@icytangus6683]

The best gaming podcast in the world! Thank yall for all the year GI part of my life

[@daw_24S]

Gi blessing us and ending the year on another high note!! Can't wait for whats to come

[@TruckahStanley]

Man this podcast really just gets better with age. I like how naturally watts fit into the group. Looking foward to another year

[@BashxSaiyan]

I see another GI podcast, and I immediately hit like. Keep doing what you doing. Happy New Year!

[@D1PrinceHD]

Great way to start the new year guys! Also this is to Ethos, once you play through both FF7 Remake and Rebirth, you’ll truly understand why it won best score. It’s has many original songs in both games and amazing renditions from the original games too. But again we’re all entitled to our opinions, have a good one!

[@lasagnagod871]

Just clocked out from work and can’t wait to watch this at home while eating dinner 😂

[@BodarkZuluYT]

Ethos contributed 31% and Watts is so innocent 🤣. #detroitcustomerservice

[@Iamrondoni]

Another amazing gaming podcast, appreciate all of yall

[@GooseGotdaJuice206]

Love the episode y’all was so happy to see the post when it dropped #detroitcustomerservice😂

[@Trocify225]

this man said thor needs a buff, thor can carry a team with bad dps lol

[@joker12151]

Bro I’m sayin 😂

[@BrokeGuysEntertainmentTV]

Facts Thor freaking melts

[@bigbabyjosh]

One wrong step and Thor wipes without using his ability😂

[@BundlesArt7]

Appreciate the update on the upcoming games and good looking out with the PC parts been looking for some good recommendations

[@weasey006]

Bring back Lost Planet!

[@hoffacity9125]

1:29:28 Nah Fuck that's not good enough. WE SHOULD KNOW. There should be an evolving standard. The gaming industry makes more money than music and television combined , the Game Awards should act like it. Set a standard, communicate that standard to the would-be nominees. It's ok if that standard is a little different for each year, but it has to be one. If there isn't then why should I care about this event .

[@muppetbehumble101]

Happy New years GI 🎉much love and respect. I always enjoy your conversations on what's going on in the gaming world and life

[@MisterCynic18]

57:00 I feel its important to also note that when we finally took Malevelon Creek, the planet that held no strategic significance and that we ignored Major Orders to take, they memorialized our victory with an annual in-game remembrance day...date on April 1st. The devs were absolutely poking fun at us and I love it 😂

[@BradKhan-n8i]

Happy new years GI❤

[@cmanrocket6]

Ethos quoting sukuna is hilarious. Stand proud you are strong 😂😂😂😂

[@TheNazerith]

I’ll take whatever Alanah Pierce says with a grain of salt because she’s a part of the industry and for some reason, the industry always seems to misunderstand what the black myth Wong creator say And she seems to be the only one who saw them crying

[@Black_Panda95]

Not JG brigning out the Katana to break bread with Capcom!! 😂😂😂 Excellent podcast episode to end the year. Thank you GI for brining fun and insightful gaming discussion for the year of 2024. #detroitcustomerservice

[@gymggang46]

What a pleasant surprise to end 2024!

[@ViewtifulJae]

When I hear ppl start the convo with “ the previous game was foreve ago” in a particular tone …. I automatically get an idea of what’s coming next and even more so given the context of who is saying it lol

[@ezorr9825]

love the pod thanks guys !

[@mme1vis]

Shout out for that super bowl preview. We don't get to be proud of much, but every so often

[@Bytesthedust]

I hope it eventually becomes a competition where different nations compete to make goated games. That way everyone wins

[@ViewtifulJae]

I’m @2:40 and JG just got giddy. Before I continue I’m gonna assume it’s the nostalgia feels for onimusha and maybe even okami but mostly onimusha since it’s JG we are talking about here lol . He loves his dark souls clones . I’m an og fan of onimusha I even had Genma onimusha on the og xbox which was a more difficult version of the game slightly remixed .

[@BrokeGuysEntertainmentTV]

The new Onimusha looks like a more refined Dawn of Dreams

[@OmenN7]

I need Capcom to bring back Lost Planet

[@SpartanSolidusSolidus-mi6mk]

Damn!-te memories of that series.!As someone in their 40s I would definitely like to dive back into that world.

[@sith_ofdragons7642]

Absolutely

[@icytangus6683]

JG like the haircut ngl

[@kjrawks2191]

3:32 i loved how they laughed at TBH saying over 9000

[@ViewtifulJae]

What’s wrong with first decendant? It’s a decent looter shooter / time waster

[@HeroOfJusticeYT]

Jg's hope for onimusha is like the hope the halo community have for a good halo game under modern Microsoft Both inspiring and depressing

[@SavagexRaccoon]

Blessed us with a big 4hr podcast thanks for this also 1:04:40 justice for stellar BBLade 😂

[@joelperez1993]

Sheeeeeesh. Whole lot of content right there 🔥

[@Tmac12X]

I buy new games, but I only beat games; I find fun.

[@michaeljustmichael1459]

Bro, that was a fantastic

[@akiltherealdeal]

@3:03:00 That's a technique often used in gacha and mobile games to showcase characters and increase FOMO.

[@hatlessword]

It’s crazy how I can be so happy for a almost 4 hour podcast

[@bbocel89]

Lol. Damn, I feel attacked for my soldier class in Mass Effect. All good though, was able to try out the other classes in ME3 multiplayer. #DetroitCustomerService

[@Trocify225]

I haven't had a game that has kept me wanting to play competitively in ranked and fun in general since overwatch. Marvel rivals can make me upset sometimes like all games but it's just fun to play. I bought the battle pass and now i have enough for the next and a premium skin just from playing the game.

[@thewolfinart3484]

1:04:35 I get ethos liked she stellar blade ost as I did but even though I liked it, it was not beating FF7 Rebirth. I bump both on my playlist but I understand FF7 was a damn near a shoe in. Also I love metaphor but the only song I bump from it was the battle theme music and that’s it. It had good music for the tone of the game but the song that actually stood out was the battle theme. Especially if you beat the enemy when the chorus bout to start. Chefs kiss* 👌🏾

[@thewolfinart3484]

2:26:25 years in not surprised by the numbers for lou2. The leak honestly hurt that game. So people didn’t give it a fair shot or they assumed they knew what was going to happen in that game. Plus the woke crowd 😂 still did good in sales despite but eh.

[@ViewtifulJae]

I wish ms watts discussed the 300$ version of Poe 2 that’s in the Microsoft store

[@Ms5000Watts]

There's an even higher version which is $480 lol it's ultimately a case of if you play a game for x amount of years, maybe you end up spending that amount of money. The good thing is if you get the $30 version for example and want the $60 stuff, you don't have to pay for the $60 you can pay the difference. So what I've seen most people do is they just upgrade throughout the years

[@ViewtifulJae]

@ oh Thanks!

[@MoeDavinci]

3:07:38 Amazon would be my choice of Ubisoft was bought out. They've been showing more interest in expanding their media footprint over the last few years (NBA TV rights, Twitch, NFL TV rights Amazon Prime, Audible etc). Only right they acquire Ubisoft . Plus I think Michael B Jordan produced a movie on Amazon Prime that was based on a Tom Clancy book (And Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is under Ubi). TBH I'm just bs-ing, but I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened lol.

[@ChrisJaeger-i3e]

The show was a solid 8 or 9. It's probably higher for some people, but an 8 at the lowest.

[@GumDroppa]

Hell nah the computer story at the end deserved full Karen mode idgaf

[@TheBestAccEver]

That Rams Jersey is fresh

[@desamania]

On a scale 1-10, I give Wukong 7.5.

[@cmanrocket6]

Damn pontiac caught a stray #detroitcustomerservice 😂

[@RNICJay]

World war Naughty Dog until they make Jak 4

[@koolaidblackman9026]

1 of the reasons Judgment isnt being worked on was the talent agency for the main character hated the idea of a PC port. Sega was having a PC push and they weren't allowed this game to port because of the agency but the game has been on PC since last year. So it could be that they had an agreement or they had a falling out. We don't know and Judgment might be shelved cause of it.

[@killinit582]

Capcom is still on my shit list until we get Mega Man X9

[@ChrisC-jt3op]

Praying for DMC to return every night

[@SuperAverage]

Loved the great circle. The gunplay was actually the worst part for me

[@Mr_Tsukuyomi]

The real issue with The Witcher 4 is half the development team of The Witcher 3 leaving to create another studio.

[@ViewtifulJae]

The last 2 tomb raiders are def slept on

[@HushTheHoopla]

I won’t tolerate the chief keef disrespect! 😤😂😂

[@thisngaq]

❤‍🔥episode as always! #DetroitCustomerService 🤣

[@deionjohnson760]

Yurppp they back!!!!!!

[@kwilliams3770]

#detroitcustomerservice lol great episode thanks for the insight looking forward to 2025

[@oiyile1971]

Yesssirrr🔥🔥🔥

[@DeebsGamingTV]

another great pod! #detroitcustomerservice

[@ViewtifulJae]

“Deff is so thute , a hyuk “

[@JFromDreamville]

Almost 4 hours GOD IS GOOD

[@Mmachine88]

Those anti-wokies really showed their ass over the Avowed controversy. That was some of the most embarrassing stuff to go down, all for some damn video games. This was even before the Art Director came out acting goofy. BTW - Can we also just agree that it's not surprising to hear an art director come out and be the one to say the things he said lol. Like the dude just comes off as "my high school art teacher who's ultra progressive, grows their own coffee beans, uses their own human feces to grow their vegetables, and uses mason jars for everything" type energy But these dudes absolutely lost their minds over literal pronouns for a solid week before someone leaked a screen shot of the character creator that showed pronouns when we had just gotten tens of hours of gameplay videos posted by content creators who got to play a large chunk of the game, and I saw nothing but dudes saying weird and wild stuff that made no sense at all. It was nothing but complete circular talk..

[@king_keg8279]

I wouldn't mind if Nintendo bought out Ubisoft. Hopefully they can finally do something creative with their past franchisees.

[@kingofamerica6905]

Iceman being gay has been woke for years.

[@100BeastMike]

P R E A C H bring back Viewtiful Joe 😤

[@JR-jw4yu]

P O 2 lit I been running solo too

[@mme1vis]

Just get these out sooner so we can talk some real AFC smack

[@ProphetofXebec]

Watts is using snowbunny mind control on me, help!

[@dannybirch25]

When these guys were talking about China they kinda foreshadowing things to come China is gonna be the ones to push gaming even further mark my words

[@RAGENwithSNIPE]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@akonyoungqeezy957]

Anytime someone says "pickleball is for un-athletic people" they come play and are gassed by the end. Why you think all them old people keep fuckin up their ACLs lol

[@chrisjean796]

Watts isn’t ganna play GTA VI?

[@undergrounder]

Crazy, spooky, hilarious. #detroitcustomerservice

[@hermitjayt]

@25:25 Indiana Jones imagery always reminded me of how we've depicted slave masters. So, I never had interest.

[@cmanrocket6]

Media literacy definitely dying. Just seen people saying iceman being gay is woke. Also most negative opinions on squid game season 2 stems from viewers not actually understanding the story beyond the surface level

[@zandercage856]

Alanah Pierce lied about the devs crying multiple news sites stated that they was chill the whole time i think that whole note was bs

[@roddiehere8134]

Ayeee ❤️

[@ViewtifulJae]

I think it’s weird how popular final fantasy is in modern day gaming lol I don’t feel it should be anymore but then again I’m on xbox and only get the crappy side games

[@JR-jw4yu]

So uncharted game play Indiana Jones story?

[@ViewtifulJae]

Clive is a horrible picl for Tekken. . And tifa would’ve been ok def not my first choice lol

[@12redpeg]

Acting like 10mil copies is nothing is hilarious. Last Of Us 2 being only on PlayStation selling that much is still impressive

[@TruInferno]

#ItIsNotDetroitCustomerService

[@ViewtifulJae]

Why was JG defending ff music and score as if it’s the only game with a musical score or a soundtrack? Other games that have cake out also use orchestras or live musicians for the score lol just feels a bit ignorant to defend ff so hard and. Be unaware of the level of depth that other games may have especially if you know damn well you haven’t experienced them enough or heard their soundtracks Personally . It’s just cape•ing due to a linear awareness of the franchise which to an extent is honestly fair but being conscious of your own experiences y he should’ve accounted for having not heard anything else in depth lol

[@Breeezy888]

Y’all keep praising black ops 6, but 40 percent of the player base dropped it

[@TONYSNOTZ]

Since when ? 1:50:41

[@staxic7460]

Clare Claremont (arguably Wolverine's most defining writer) originally intended for Wolverine to be bisexual, but due to a controversy at the time, Marvel editorial suddenly banned any gay storylines and he'd to cut it.

[@imcel8953]

JG.... finally he's getting a new Onimusha so he can stop lying about their other games trying to say they arent good 😂

[@marskee98]

Aye I live in Michigan and tbh your not welcome anymore lol jp legend come stop on our concrete anytime
