It's sad but I've considered not resubscribing for a while now. About a year or so. Its kinda not the same for me and just isn't working as much. I'm changing and GB is changing too. I mostly just liked Beastcast after a while. But everybody on both podcasts are just talking about food all the time! But even on the Beastcast as much as I love Dan I also am annoyed by him I guess (crazy hipocracies). Also I got really frustrated last year when Abby was fighting so hard against PUBG but I saw so many videos (stuff that wasn't even GB related!) where she is loving the game. She even killed a friend of mine once in a game. It wasn't during a stream or anything. I was playing duos one time with a friend and I was already dead and watching him and he was killed by "yaaabbbaaaabbyy" or whatever and I was like "omfg I know who that is!!!" It was awesome! but then come GOTY she is going off about how "its just another shooter" and pushing a dating game that she probably has far less time in. I get that. I can see it from her point of view and I'm not against it at all -> But also it just felt kinda fake. It felt like people were....... posturing. And thats not for me.

@liquiddragon: I think the content of the content and the format go hand in hand. If this format had some sort of real structure instead of having some games discussed for 1 hr, others 30 mins, some 10 mins, and some like 15-60 secs it would help. The games with shorter discussion times have no real discussion, more a gut feel of them being positive or negative. Even games with longer discussions can be hit or miss. Like the Destiny 2 discussion was more Brad wanting to gush about how he loves Destiny 2, as it must be discussed in every GOTY, and how great the gun play is while not even mentioning New Light and its reception (which was terrible at onboarding new players). Then during Disco Elysium Abbey of course has to comment how she dislikes the game because it lets you be a racist and sexist while just ignoring the players ability to actively reject those concepts (as Ben and Vinny mentioned with communism and facism) in the game and mold your character to be literally the opposite.

For the most part few of the games are really discussed and its more some peoples impressions, that depending on how much they loved or hated the game, can range from seconds to minutes or longer. I am unsure of what the point of these initial impressions are, but if they want to give time for games that won't be in contention for awards, then make that the goal. Limit these impressions to 5 mins per game discussed and have it be only games that you want to talk about that won't be potentially discussed for awards. Then we have a clear goal in mind with these initial impressions of getting the games the crew wants to recognize for the positive or negative, but that they either don't like enough or didn't play enough to argue during the awards debates.

@hoodcommando:

This game has no horses or tumble-dryers. Very disappointing.

A battle royale game with mechs sounds great, this doesnt seem to be that though, shame. I hope this doesnt impact Titanfall 3.
