Giant Bombcast 663: Cooksies to Keepsies

@staticfrog: I’m saying it’s a shame that the existing controller isn’t that great when compared to the competition. Whether they make an Elite 3 or not is hypothetical although almost guaranteed but what is very real is that the rumble in the Series X controller is just bad.

I skipped all of those games because I just don't have time to play them. Unless I miraculously get a job where all I have to do all day is peruse games that I might've missed, it probably won't change. Jeff's point of view usually lines up with mine because he also has limited time to get into a game now that he's a father. I would say that I'm also lukewarm on most games these days, but sometimes it's nice to come home and play a game for an hour or so because it's not work. The minute a game starts being work, it's not fun. Back in the old times, my interests also lined up with Ryan and Drew.

@janman man I used to watch that first Power Rangers movie every single day when I was like 7, probably drove my mom insane lol

The cross-team chat email idea is terrible. In competitive multiplayer games, all-chat/cross-team chat is always awful. Maybe 1% of the time you'll get someone commending an opponent, but that is far and away the minority. It's just insults and trash talk. Completely worthless. I turn off any kind of all-chat, first thing. It never serves any useful purpose other than as an avenue for shitty people to say shitty things.

The email after that about franchises was a flawed premise. "People care about mechanics the most." Well, maybe that's what you care about. Not everyone is the same.
