I hit that track problem like Jeff back in the 360 days. You can add as many cars as you want but the sheer lack of tracks is always going to mean eventual boredom. It baffles me, considering just how many circuits there are in the world, that there is always so very few options to race on.
I would easily have half as many cars if it meant twice as many tracks. But it seems that is never going to happen so I long stopped playing Driving Sims like Forza and GT.
@ripelivejam: I think it's more about entertainment value for most people. Sure some folks want sick headshots or whatever, but Dan looting alone in a house while we can hear the rest of his team in an intense firefight is not good video content. The game already has lulls and long periods with nothing happening, so when something exciting does happen, it would be nice to actually see it.
I agree with this. But what I don't understand is why even Murder Island is exclusively a GBEast production these days. Genuinely an overwhelming majority of the Video content on this site these days is done by the GBEast crew. I know this is ignorant to say but what is exactly do the GBWest guys do all week? Both sides do quick looks but pretty much the only thing you can guarantee from GBWest is the Bombcast and UPF. I wish Murder Island could be done where we get to see Brad and Jeff's stream for once, but they are both at home on Mondays I guess. I don't know its just GBEast imo is the doing all the hard work and providing by far the best content and have been for quite awhile. Even the Beastcast is way more enjoyable than the Bombcast these days. GBWest in this subscribers perspective is slacking.
GBEeast Programs:
Beastcast
Beast In The East
Blue Bombin'
This Is The Run
Exquisite Corps
Steal My Sunshine
Bring Your B Game
Playdate
Numerous Endurance Runs like Until Dawn etc
GBWest Programs
Bombcast
UPF
Demo Derby
Old Game Show (has continued as a Jeff Home Stream)
Ranking of the Fighters (last episode over a year ago)
Game Tapes (last episode over a year ago)
Breaking Brad (2 episodes over the last entire year)
GBWest is in a rut right now and even the Kingdom Hearts thing felt poorly conceived and certainly attended. All the creativity and fun is on the east coast, all the video production also. There seems to be a lack of focus on the GBWest side, most streams are just random games stuff and there is little to no hook, nothing to get invested in. Yet the GBEast side pretty much all the content is skewed to be very focused and alot easier to get invested in i.e This is the Run, Steal My Sunshine and Exquisite Corps. The one perceived failure of late on the GBEast side is Bring Your B-Game, which lacks both that focus and investment and yet ironically this is the only video content that GBWest produce be it the Demo Derby, UPF or Jeffs Old Game streams. I think GBwest really needs a project and some damn passion for it.
But at the very least It'd just be nice to have at least another Murder Island hosted from the West Coast sometime so we can see a different perspective.
GB West really need to up their game because GB East is making such great and interesting content and the Beastcast is currently far more fun and interesting to listen to at the moment.
