Thank you for reading my question, Brad! Really appreciate it :) In response to Colin's point about 3D metroidvanias, I disagree to an extent here. Batman: Arkham Asylum is 100% inspired by 2D metroidvanias in its design and is the best example of a 3D metroidvania. 3D metroidvanias are definitely very far and few between, but they're still a better descriptor than merely an 'adventure' game. I get why Colin refuses to play Star Wars - Jedi: Survivor. Fine, it is what it is, lol. But to make fun of people who like Star Wars? If that's your prerogative, alright. But boi, you like G.I. Joe and you respect the Marvel movies (lmao, how ironic). Maybe don't make fun of others for liking nerdy stuff? Back to Star Wars - Jedi: Survivor. It's a good game! I wish you would've addressed the fact that NO ONE AT LSM bothered to do a spoiler cast for it. It was one of the major releases of 2023, and I would've loved to hear people's thoughts on it. You're doing a spoiler cast with Cog soon for some anime game that came out over the summer, which is so much more niche. Call me cranky, fine, but the major tentpole releases of a year deserve a spoiler cast, period (with or without Colin). It's yo damn job.

[@M00SHTY]

The idea of an Until Dawn remake is honestly puzzling. When games like Yakuza remake the first two titles or The Last of Us remakes its original game, it’s about updating older entries to meet the quality and consistency of the latest installments. Even if remakes feel unnecessary, these updates aim to unify the series and bring older games up to today’s standards. And then there is Until Dawn. Since its release, none of Supermassive Games' titles have quite matched its visual quality-if anything, their graphics have declined imo. So when I heard about the remake, my first thought was, “To what? What are they trying to match or improve on?” They haven’t shown any noticeable visual advancements in their series since Until Dawn. Plus, many of their newer games still suffer from awkward cuts and visual glitches. Maybe those games should be brought up to Until Dawn’s standards first! This remake feels like an odd decision.

Aloy is the very least of my issues with Forbidden West. I loved Zero Dawn but for me Forbidden West was just tremendously underwhelming on so many levels. I have no distinct or memorable moments/memories from Forbidden West besides the amazing graphics. I felt as though it fell apart as a videogame on a fundamental level. Not enough innovation in regards to its gameplay. It was obvious to me that Forbidden West was held back from its full potential due to being on the PS4. All of the weaknesses from the first game they seemed to double down on (a similar problem Spider-Man 2 had). Wasn't a fan of the story/ future story of the franchise. It never "felt right" to do side missions because of the high stakes of the main story. The progression/skill trees didn't feel meaningful. Getting the flying mount at the VERY END of the main quest was a mind boggling decision. EVEN the Hunting Grounds were worse in Forbidden West, whereas in the first game the Hunting Ground helped to teach the player good strategies in regards to effectively using weapons. I could go on.

I love this show but I'm always kind of disappointed on how the social issues are discussed and I was here as well. It feels like this discussion was 5+ years late. I remember all of the talk about replacing characters with different races but... were there ever really any examples of that? I remember most discussion at the time revolved around Marvel, but it became clear those were mostly bad faith, because most characters that replaced another character (Miles Morales as Spider-man, as an example), actually were new characters. They were just taking that role. Even in the James Bond case, I don't think it was going to be a woman literally being James Bond, but just another character taking up the 007 position. Which leads me to my issues with these discussions. Is that it seems like everyone is assuming good faith in this discussion. Colin almost had it, when he was talking about how a lot of the discussion almost seems like people are just being racist. That's because they are. There's a lot of people who are racist and try to create more palatable versions of their issues to get people on their side. They don't do it nefariously or anything, but it's just how the human brain works when trying to convince others to share your viewpoint. You think of how you can most easily get them to agree with you, even if only slightly. Same thing with the mention of the KZbinr taking Colin out of context. Any type of drama content on KZbin is purely to get clicks. I don't know why there would be any assumption that the person Colin was talking about actually cared about being accurate. They wanted to generate views. I understand there are exceptions to the view baiting, like this channel and many others, but the drama stuff I have yet to really see someone that isn't baiting lol. This comes into the Sweet Baby discussion to. Like, why doesn't Brad like them? What have they really done? I could see disliking the individual people, because they were pretty abrasive on Twitter or something a while back, but quite frankly that reading is even missing a lot of context. As far as the work they do, what "ideology", as Colin said, have they ever inserted into anything? It feels like a misunderstanding of what they do. They mostly do passovers of games to make sure people haven't put anything that might cause controversy in them. Look at the games they've worked on. They run a WIDE gamut of topics styles so I'm not sure what you really pin on them as having done. There's also always this desire to treat both sides as equal, both in validity of arguments and in quantity of people on each side. Like the replacing characters with different races. I distinctly remember most people being against it. There were some people arguing for it, but even then it was more just saying it wasn't a big deal than like a "we SHOULD swap people out" thing. Same thing happened when discussing Stellar Blade. A select few people actually had issue with Eve. Most discussion from the American left was responding to the right insisting that Eve was how women should be in games, and that was something that was in fully force. Denigrating other games and acting like women always need to be for the purpose of men in games. (Also noting, they did that thing of trying to make it "palatable" by framing it as having attractive characters in games, which was never the discussion, it was always oversexualization and how pervasive it was, but even that discussion was years late. The industry has been doing a lot better the last decade). So yeah. Just wanted to throw that feedback in. Love the show when game talk is going on, or even life stuff. I feel like the political stuff misses a lot of nuance that can be frustrating.

Never understood Colin on trump. Trump is not funny. That's a little telling. I know Colin isn't a trump supporter but c'mon don't be dismissive of stupid behavior and a horrible human being.

[@mpnothanks]

I do think he’s funny, but funny in a laughing at him way, not with him, if you get what I mean. He’s absurd.

[@TheLoneGamr]

How is he a horrible human being? What exact has he done that makes him a horrible human being?

[@94tegLSatMSC]

Trump is actually hilarious

We don’t care about your white dude for Harris opinion

[@BZN-u9v]

Anyone catch the greg miller Kamala Harris paid ad. So disappointing.

[@mpnothanks]

Not a KF fan, but that’s pretty dope. Not that it makes much sense with their audience, preaching to the choir and all that.

“Everything Collin says is right” -Gene Park. I don’t want to gas the guy up anymore than is needed but he’s low key not wrong. Spot on on the DEI conversation and glad you shared that clip on socials. Diversity is necessary but companies and studios the force it into projects that don’t need it is what creates so much of this vitriolic discourse.

Bloodborne is NEVER getting a 60fps update OR coming to PC and it is HILARIOUS. Cope and seethe.

Incels hate Aloy, and a lot of young and older gamers are incels. What other protagonist in any game do we even give a fuck about? Case closed

[@TheLoneGamr]

Yeah but she does have the personality of a cardboard box

[@EvernhamNo9]

Massive cope and projection. She’s an awful character, simple as.

[@YouTubeChannel-iq5to]

@ why? And what other protagonists in games do you find terrible? Pray tell

[@LouisFeather]

Feel for you with the jets Colin. But Here We Go, Steelers!🟡⚫️

[@desertgsrider1]

Yep, go Stillers! Huge gamble by Tomlin to start Russ and it paid off!

[@LouisFeather]

Yep, we shouldn’t doubt that man!
