I'm not usually one to complain about things like this, but I feel like Dan REALLY misrepresented the game here. I realize it's a quick look, but he didn't seem to know the mechanics of the game at all. He didn't actually do any melee combat, which has more to it than just click to bash people in the face. There's a rock paper scissors element to it with blocking, pushing, and attacking. He didn't talk about the perks or drops much. He said he played the tutorials, but it sure didn't seem that way. There is just more to this game, and this quick look wasn't a good representation of the experience of playing this game. Normally I wouldn't mind so much, but since it's early access and a lot of people are likely skeptical, seeing this quick look could really turn off a lot of people from the game and hurt it's development.
I'm not a Dan hater like some people that comment, and I'm only trying to offer some constructive criticism. I just feel like this quick look skirted over a lot of important things, and didn't really accomplish what these quick looks are all about.
Agreed entirely, hopefully someone on the site gives this a more in depth look and comes back on a UPF or something to show off the mechanics.
@jeff The revolver that the guy is in love with is a Chiappa Rhino.

Nah, Jeff is right it's a Mateba revolver known for their unique design in which a revolver actually operates on a recoil based semi automatic firing design. Whereas the Chiappa Rhino is a revolver in which the firing function is the same as ordinary revolvers it's just the barrel is positioned on the lower axis. The next video shows the Chiappa, you can see the differences in the Mateba pictured in the quick look and above video by the Chiappa's rail system and lack of semi auto functionality.

I could see the confusion though given both firearms having barrels on the lower access.

Everything else - Bad. Really, really bad.
Seems to me like you don't quite "get" what they were going for with these videos. So far everyone one of them has been pretty much spot-on to the style of YouTube videos they are mocking. It's glorious.
Seems to me anytime someone doesn't like this years game of the year videos they are told they just don't understand the "avant-gardeness" of the videos. No, some people; myself included, just found these videos completely underwhelming compared to last year and years before. Sure the staff is moving and all that jazz, doesn't mean people can't find these GOTY videos bad.
I know Drew hates doing side missions, but one especially beneficial one that should have opened up by now is "Extract the Legendary Gunsmith." I'm sure Dan knows that this unlocks weapon customization. What he may have forgotten is that one of the customizations for the sniper rifle Drew is using is a silencer.
Also:
Since Drew's bond with Quiet is quite high now, he should have unlocked several upgrades to her rifle - one of which is the tranq. rifle "Guilty Butterfly" (that can also be silenced, FYI.) As an aside, if she had that rifle when he did the White Mamba mission, she would have tranq'ed some of the kids for him.
Dan knowing that the customization allows for surpressing a sniper rifle would mean he actually used a sniper which is about as likely as cookie monster taking the democratic ticket for pres. in 2016. At this point I don't think they will do the legendary gunsmith even though he is a real game changer, hope Jason (who mentioned how important the gunsmith is) will be more vocal about how important he is soon. Although it appears to me that Drew is racing through the story to finish before GOTY deliberations so I understand his desire not to do side content, but to me the gunsmith stuff should have been a mandatory mission at some point in the story.
