[@MichaelDoesLife]

I could listen to Jeff talk all day, Dude is so good at what he does.

[@Kranker989]

one of the few gaming journalists who actually knows anything about games at all.

[@ericnstuff]

Unlike those other 2 clowns.

[@Addonais4ever]

Jeff was an amazing guest to have on your show thanks for a great show.

[@watur123]

Ovarwatch if probably one of the most fun multiplayer games I have played in YEARS.

[@aportrayalofvengeance]

This still holds up. Love these guys.

[@DaisukeReborn]

Overwatch is what Ive been looking for in a game for quite awhile now. Can't stop playing it.

[@iSurvivedTheZombieZ]

Giant Bombing the building. Love Jeff!

[@kwanzaatim]

I think watching a Persona 5 Endurance Run with Greg, Jeff, and (OF COURSE) Vinny -- would be the second Golden Age of Video Game Videos about Games. Great episode fellas. The Dream has become a reality -- Giant Bomb x Kinda Funny. Love you all, and Ryan Davis, I miss you, and your ability to call something "dumb" and have that be a good thing.

[@HaruVibes_]

Really hope we see KF crew collaborate with GB on something in the Future.

[@Burnthehive]

This is the most active Colin has been with a guest on either of their shows in a long while.

[@escapist83]

I like listening to Gerstmann talk.

[@KamixSam]

ME3's multiplayer mode was awesome! It was so much fun and a very good mode!

[@Jason8012]

This was a really great episode!

[@accountofi]

It's cool that you guys considered not going to E3 this year. I remember tweeting Greg last year saying that I didn't want them to go to E3 and would have preferred them just doing reaction streams and podcasts discussing the news from their home/base and being in the minority.

[@m15anthr0pe]

For me, Overwatch is the perfect palate cleanser. After a long gaming session of Destiny or the Division, it's fun to switch over to Overwatch for about an hour or so. There is no character progression so I can just jump in, have fun, and jump out. I love that.

[@loyal-tf-fan]

My problem is how much of the love for Overwatch is just from Itself or from all the stale games that make it seem better. honestly Overwatch is the first fun game in a corrupt genre, mainly dominated by COD, in a long time.

[@dxxdaamGaming]

That hi-five at the end...fucking gold! I love you guys.

[@bitroast]

omg downwell is so good. got me hooked 100% since it came out on ps4/vita. managed to get a friend hooked to who got addicted and beat the game in a day.

[@stevendalouche7127]

i rented wolfenstein and thought the beginning was so horrible i returned it straight away. Guess i shouldve held out another hour or so.

[@VerlixStone]

Not touching VR for at least 5-6 years when it's actually fully fleshed out. Everyone who has currently bought one are basically beta testers, and I thank you fine people for testing out the product and helping it evolve into its final true form some years down the line. Hopefully it'll be something like 2-3 years from now, but I doubt it.

[@accountofi]

Colin to be fair and addressing your point at 25:17 Witcher 3 also had awful frame rate drops on PS4 when it came out. I think the patchs fixed it a little but particularly in parts of Novigrad and Crooback Bog (where the witch ladies lived) the frame rate could get awful/unacceptable.

[@MrAshpool]

Weeeeell I love Overwatch and I'm not agreeing about Fallout 4 as I love that too but generally awesome cast as usual :)

[@jonathontsamantanis]

Wow not much views whats going on ? Overwatch is the bomb.

[@MagicMarty90]

27:39 Colin's a Shulk player confirmed

[@treebush]

damn jeff looks older everyday

[@OvejasMecanicas]

It's as if time, passes, or some weird crap like that, so bizarre right?

[@aportrayalofvengeance]

@jeffgerstmann you’re the best

[@leoviper]

E3 is not dying... Jeez.

[@nosworc]

Totally disagree about Borderlands 3 needing to be like the division or destiny. Borderlands is perfect as it is.

[@miketheamazing1342]

tbh I don't feel watching this for 2 hours.(No Hate)

[@yipperdeyip]

Thanks for sharing though............. =_=

[@Ravelle_]

Then listen to it. :)

[@wazman77show]

What wolfenstein dlc? Are we talking about the old blood? I feel like the old blood was its own game not dlc. Beyond "the old blood",there was no dlc for wolfenstein. So what in the world are you talking about Colin?

[@Drelochz]

why are there separated videos and a connected one video?

[@UncleAlfieDrip]

New here?

[@Drelochz]

indeed i am

[@zgillet]

I'm not new and I still don't know.

[@travisturner6761]

They upload the videos in parts: Part 1 on Monday, Part 2 on Tuesday, etc. Then they upload the entire video on Friday.

[@zgillet]

Travis Turner Why? That's really dumb.

[@itachi65ful]

give me a offline bot mode and single player mode for overwatch and I'll get it.

[@TheOneAndOnlyJDB]

There is a vs ai mode?

[@Alehud42]

There is a offline bot mode, just play a custom game with all AI.

[@loyal-tf-fan]

+Alehud42 yeah but it's very limited on what you can do

[@itachi65ful]

Alehud42 but do you need to be connected to the internet at all times like battleborn? Also does it have splitscreen?

[@loyal-tf-fan]

itachi65ful I guess you need to be connected for Overwatch since every time someone can't connect to their server I see them get kicked out of the entire game, not the main menu, but the entire game can't be accessed. And no their is no Splitscreen in Overwatch.

[@Yoshi-sn4je]

I've been playing Star Wars Battlefront. I got good

[@loyal-tf-fan]

how is it? I've stopped playing right before the first dlc pack.

[@Yoshi-sn4je]

+Loyal-TF-Fan I find myself logging on every once in a while. So far everyone who still plays it has gotten good and know all the hidden paths and people still play the less known modes. The devs fixed the some problems with the Heroes and Villians. Darth Vader is now fun to play as! I find it fun becuase i've gotten good and the power ups are less OP. *You can't throw grenades into shields now

[@FernandoDANTE]

At which point do they talk about Overwatch?

[@zgillet]

Very early.

[@adamKlD]

Out of all the game they mentioned; Destiny, Division, Overwatch, Paragon and Battleborn. Overwatch is the game that requires the least amount of time investment. I loved the Division and Destiny, but I hit a point in both games, around the 100 hour mark, where the grind become incredibly unrewarding and boring, there was no reason to continue to play.

[@Kranker989]

wow, it took you 100 hours to get bored! took me a handful.

[@Yoshi-sn4je]

Anyone here likes the Uncharted 4 multiplayer?

[@Kranker989]

its decent

[@OvieKovy]

Casual bum ass trash

[@treyhester8280]

PS4 - The Community Trilogy? The Sequel Community is full! :(

[@presidentc4]

Did you miss out in both?

[@WeAreMovieMakers]

He is way too close to that mic.

[@HasabiBilal]

NERDS 4:10

[@XxAPartofMexX]

#LetTimHost

[@Zedris]

fallout was such a disappointment...compared to the witcher 3 dying light and new open world games it was such a disgrace...graphics looked like shit, it didnt play well, it marginally (and marginally could be argued is too generous) improved on fallout 3, performance was terrible on all 3 platforms, the gameplay was improved but still terrible for a 2016 shooter, and the bugs were truly embarrassing compared to the witcher 3, i agree with colin bethesda needs to go away and make a new engine and start bringing in new talent to actually right the ship for their TES and Fallout studio

[@AO-sn1rw]

only good part of this video is jeff...

[@XxAPartofMexX]

Yo, this is the guy who shat on Quantum Break. Don't you hate third person shooters? Didn't you also really suck at the game? Why were you the one to review it again? You have a right to your opinion, but why would you review a game in a genre you hate so much? It doesn't make sense.

[@blakecaminos9120]

reviewing games is a job

[@XxAPartofMexX]

Blake Caminos Capitalism. The answer to my questions were capitalism.

[@blakecaminos9120]

tru

[@airtec87]

Quantum Break sucked, it got a Nissan/10.

[@TheDarksideKing]

Overwatch will die in 3 weeks

[@edmundsefton2238]

i remember when people said that about diablo 3

[@zgillet]

They had to re-release D3 twice for it to be good. Also, it is dead now.
