I remember watching that quick look years ago about the game based on the German cop show. The quick look was a classic but I don't remember which game it was.
I've always liked Dan but he's getting on my nerves a little as of late with his regular guy act.
Same, I'm really tired of every video with Dan on it being the "explain shit to Dan" shtick, over and over and over. It's not even that he wants to learn things, asking questions is just seemingly his way of filling dead air. It makes his presence totally dominate every video, especially grating in long-form content like the Shenmue ER.
I LOVE what you wrote about The Last Guardian and it echoes some of my sentiments from my review with eerie similarity, notably the part about how grateful I am that it exists at all and how we don't deserve it, but it's so real and so wonderful and it made my heart explode with joy, compassion, grief and love. What a magical game.
Good stuff Ian. I hate, hate, HATE what they've done to poise in this game. I'm not even super upset that the actual damage difference is minor, for me the benefit of heavy armor was always being able to take hits without flinching. The fantasy of playing a super tank is completely lost the moment you get staggered by a group of 3 rats and stunlocked to death. Seriously, the rats and dogs in this game are the most dangerous enemies for a slow weapon user.
They really screwed the pooch on the mitigation formulas in this game. It's a shame. I love the game overall but this really hurts playstyle variety.
