As someone who cannot stand patriotism, ever, not just in more recent times, and I don't know what the fervor over this video is. It's abby and dan wearing a silly costume and playing a silly game. If you're going to complain about this then where is that same energy about every video game about some horrible war, or games involving cops, or really whatever weird touchy subject they hit on?
Yeah, while I don't disagree with the takes on America in the comments here, I'm a little puzzled that they're coming out for this video of all things. Maybe it would've been neat to see Abby and Dan talk a little more about the way Oregon Trail presents a particular view of American history, but I enjoyed this playthrough and look forward to seeing what other games they check out for this feature.
Is it weird that i hate how competent they’ve become like no one ever dies or fucks up big time unless it’s Dan which also kind of makes him far and away the most entertaining
Exactly how I feel, this series has been less fun since they've become decent enough at playing and the game still is largely throwing softballs. The dynamic between Dan and Vinny is hilarious though, always fun seeing Dan ignore Vinny's advice and charge in.
The crew talked a lot about how bad this film is, but honestly as a dumb fun action movie I had a great time watching. Moreso than Face Off which I found a bit jarring tonally at points.
Dan not being in The Rock commentary is honestly just stupid. Take a week off, switch movies, etc. If there's one movie that Dan should absolutely be in on it's that. Incredibly puzzling decision.
Agreed, hopefully they rethink the scheduling on that one.
Great writeup as usual. 50 games is impressive, although last year did have more great titles than most. And it seems there are still some quality 2017 releases you didn't get round to!
