Thank you for uploading this separately

[@kurooben1639]

2 things: 1: zeke and jp should be required to talk during anything cohh loves so he can feel our pain 2: sgf needs to go digital. the live audience theater show is so outdated. save it for the game awards. i really loved the xbox showcase and how it was trailer after trailer and small inserts for perfect dark, phil at the beginning, and sarah bond at the end

[@lcarsos]

When TB was still with us I remember his crusades against "muh artistic vision" as "well looking at your game hurts my eyes, so please let me toggle it off". Seems like we might need a new one of those.

[@awgmax]

if i could revive one person, it would be him.

[@aetherdryth1]

If Spiderman can have it as a toggle just for the character, the people copying it should be able to do it.

[@pawe1721]

Please someone tell Cohh that they went back to doing single-player Dragon Age between 2019/2020. It wasn't a last minute turn to single-player

[@Redroomjjgfd]

I wish it didn't have the vibe of a hero shooter in the trailer if they actually had 3-4 years.

[@TheMetalfreak360]

Seems to have made zero difference, looks like a live service game. Does not help that the game has had a high turnover rate as it has, so they probably salvaged what they could. Just to release something. This ain't Dragon Age.

[@mch_6465]

Just wait for gameplay/more, it's literally tomorrow

[@TheMetalfreak360]

@@mch_6465 I am not expecting anything else but deflecting and vague answers.

[@kylemartin8804]

@@TheMetalfreak360 imagine a world where people judge a video game on the turnover rates. Such an odd world we live in... people leave jobs every day.

[@jepeman]

Definitely the best show so far.

[@TheGameVerse]

Im glad everyone I watch has atleast one person who loves Expedition 33 as much as me

[@Horazio1987]

Dude that Game Looks Amazing! I cant wait for that!

[@RyguyRB]

Game of the showcase for me in an overall good showcase

[@Redroomjjgfd]

Awesome looking game

[@TheGameVerse]

@@RyguyRB Definitely

[@eddmario]

It looks like a mix of Elden Ring and Final Fantasy XVI with combat similar to Persona 5, so I'm all in.

[@RyguyRB]

I didn't catch dropped frames live for this, but am back to see the reactions for some of the announcements. D4 cinematic reactions are priceless: JP: Shits himself Zeke: Hell yeah Cohh: Pure shock. I would expect nothing less

[@nickrubin7312]

17:41 you could pause in DA:I as well, and in DA2 as well, but no one said that this one would have combat like Origins. Bioware said 2 companions and balance between flow and tactics with the ability to use a “wheel”, I presume action wheel like sort of in ME. Turn-based style of the combat in that Expedition 33 game cool af

[@tuffc00kie]

First off: always delightful to watch these with you guys. Second: the Dragon Age Disney Marvels trailer traumatized me for life.

[@nyxeliana5247]

That DA trailer just made me sad😂😞

[@keenanmurphy7754]

Doing a Gears franchise run starting with E-Day might be a REALLY good place to do it.

[@TonnyWalker]

Has Cohh never seen a stop motion movie? short? anything? or even spiderverse? 🤣

[@DeadIsland89]

Not the same. That stop motion was so bad i had to fastforward

[@isyutd159]

the technique is animating in 2's.

[@James-u1y]

@@DeadIsland89definitely not bad stop motion, that's an insane take. Now if you mean that the mix between stop-motion and higher frame makes you ill then I'd understand.

[@DeadIsland89]

@@James-u1y lol "bad take" It was just bad stop motion.

[@inuqi]

Indiana Jones game nailed the slapstick action from the movies.

[@SugarSoap]

Super Cool JP is going to Alveus. I'll be watching that.

[@NF_Redux]

setting the corpo filthiness of Microsoft aside for a moment, *Doom, Expedition 33, South of Midnight, Snake Eater, Flintlock, Age of Mythology Retold, Winter Burrow, Mixtape, Double Exposure, Mechabreak, Wuchang, AC Shadows, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2* & *Flight Sim Careers* all speak to me, and *Avowed* & *Perfect Dark* look surprisingly great. never thought they'd take *GEARS* back to E-Day, so that's a welcome surprise as well. can't believe almost zero gameplay for *Fable* again, and no gameplay for *Dragon Age* again, though, smh. solid show, 8/10.

[@kylemartin8804]

Fable has never shown without gameplay.

[@Tixmix]

I am glad I watch these shows by myself first, I really loved that Dragon Age trailer and Cohhs reaction would've pissed me off so much in that moment lol

[@Redroomjjgfd]

I find it hard to blame him when the trailer looks like a live service hero shooter reveal after 3-4 years of changing to single-player. They had a ton of time to make a better trailer.

[@Deminese2]

@@Redroomjjgfd It has lame guardians vibes like concord.

[@kylemartin8804]

@@Redroomjjgfd you see what you want to see. I watched the trailer without a bunch of "concern" and I thought it was a cool showcase of the party you have during the game. Sorry you ruined games for yourself that's a bummer.

[@James-u1y]

@@kylemartin8804I'm glad you feel that way, but the majority of users found that first trailer horrendous and it almost killed the momentum of excitement for the game completely until they actually used their brains and showed better footage because guess what? The trailer did a terrible job for the general consumer of that genre. I hope it does well, but wishlists are much lower than I expected, I'm worried we may not even get a new mass effect at this rate. I expected way higher numbers, especially on pc wishlisting.

[@donkeydudeful]

South of Midnight was also hurting my eyes. It looks amazing. It looks to be a fun action-adventure. I'm not playing it unless they switch the cutscenes to something smooth. The voices, the love for the Southern aesthetic. All great.

[@acedias12]

I guess they were trying to pull that look from the Spiderverse animated movies but didn't nail it.

[@esaedvik]

"I am incredibly proud of our games and teams" ...and can't wait to fire them for making successful products.

[@donkeydudeful]

Ooooooh. Sons of Liberty is probably my favorite. Snake Eater is my second favorite. I'm totally here for it.

[@donkeydudeful]

Perfect Dark looks amazing.

[@videogames9972]

cohh makes presentations unwatchable, truly obnoxious

[@SabreRunner]

I see what they did with Shadows. You can play a character that is balls to the wall action like with the last few games or you can play a true assassin like in the classic ACs.

[@Justin-ee1mv]

PepeLaugh cohh’s chat gotten really negative too

[@c5on]

Well well which studio is next on chopping block?

[@benjaminmatheny6683]

I thought Avowed looked good. But that's because I am hoping for it to basically be Fallout: New Vegas but for Skyrim. What I saw kinda bore that idea out. Not technically impressive, but that's not what made F:NV great.

[@kylemartin8804]

Cohh went from being one of the most positive streamers you can find to being borderline annoying with how much he thinks he has to criticize every little thing.

[@videogames9972]

hes been like this for years

[@alteredgenos]

I think it has to do with how he thinks he knows how game development works and how the industry works, since he now also publishes games with mad mushroom. It could also be age, you get grumpier as you age.

[@kylemartin8804]

@@alteredgenos so he is like every other publisher. He thinks he knows better than the people making the thing and also has no idea how or why decisions are made. Sounds great... look forward to his games.. I didn't realize he was this way until a few months back when I saw him trying out an indy game made by a small team. The game launched with a thank you message pointing out that it's a small team and they appreciate the support... his response was "This feels like they're trying to avoid criticism by pointing out it's a small team". What a douchey comment that was.

[@isyutd159]

I mean, have you seen his chat? They probably turned him into this, they're sooo annoying and entitled.

[@SublimeNotions]

Cohh has so much "community focus" that he created basically an in-group. Its like a reddit with a core group of people that doesnt really go out of its circle.

[@Duzon1602]

jp is a turtle above a street lamp

[@Craider79]

YAY! Blarhfield expansion! WEEEEEEESTILLMADEINASHITTYENGINEWEEEEEEEEE

[@B1u35ky]

The games that people think look mid will be the best ones just watch. All of these flashy trailers most of these games will be mid or garbage

[@donkeydudeful]

Flintlock, the Siege of Dawn loos pretty awesome.

[@LooseCo]

I love JP and Zeke but watching this reminded me why I fell off watching the regular Dropped Frames show after a while. Cohh is just... unwatchable to me

[@TheDjentleman1349]

seeing the "improvements" they made to COD makes it seem like they are really afraid of XDefiant taking over their marketshare

[@losvikings2584]

Cohh is asking better frames for South of Midnight? Did he consider maybe it was the artists choice to make it like that. Come on bro

[@awgmax]

artist vision does not immediately mean it's a good choice.

[@B1u35ky]

Yeah and it looks bad

[@aaralynhall]

You can tell the cut scenes look more like spider man multiverse movies while the game play is much smoother.

[@tobykenoby3502]

the artists choice was to make the cutscenes look like they are lagging? Maybe someone should say something to stop the artist then? :P

[@e17171]

How dare he have medical reasons it is unplayable for him. Boo-hiss!

[@sinisin2000]

This was a-ok in my book. Microsoft looks like it's actually trying to do some things.

[@Justin-ee1mv]

Pog

[@awgmax]

Better than SGF in almost every way.

[@Barista.Nathan]

I really took the word of other people who said that obsidian does great work on these open world RPG style games, but Avowed still looks like generic mediocre filler content in the same way their last game was, and that is concerning to me. I'm just not seeing any of this obsidian magic the people talk up. And it's not like Bethesda is doing so fantastic without them either... I just don't get it.

[@kylemartin8804]

Obviously these things are subjective but imo Obsidian has never made a bad game. They aren't technical powerhouses with groundbreaking graphics and generally aren't major showcase blockbusters because they deal in game mechanics and story. I am on the fence with Avowed because I agree, it looks okay, but having played so many of their games I also know they will be a lot deeper than what they show.

[@Barista.Nathan]

@@kylemartin8804 I've also played pillars of eternity, and I love both of those games so I could see the vision on something like a crpg. I guess I'm just waiting to be sold on the idea that the open world will be appealing enough to be worth exploring for these mechanics and story.

[@kylemartin8804]

@@Barista.Nathan that's fair. For me the Obsidian game that turned me into a true believer was Grounded. I was super skeptical but once I jumped into it at 1.0 launch I was legitimately blown away by it.

[@VoxAcies]

The stop motion animation is definitely not working for me - it's jerky, looks shitty, tiring on the eyes. Doom looks good, although I'm afraid it will feel a bit samey, it's basically the same game again, with some bells and whistles. The Dragon Age trailer is an abomination. They should just name the game something else. The dream of a good Bioware game has truly died forever. The rest of the games were impossible to judge by their trailers, but Expedition 33 and Perfect Dark might have some potential.

[@RubysWrath]

D4 bad do not play it. Play other better games until poe 2.

[@kylemartin8804]

Play whatever the hell you want.
