@skullcrushermountain: That's what I was getting at, as far as I can tell it doesn't take anywhere near 10 hours of playing this game to acquire the traversal skills, I believe most of it is tied to main quests which is why I posted that I think he's been futzing around with side stuff for 10 and done maybe a main quest or two in this video. DL1 is the same exact way and I loved it. You start off pretty underpowered and every zombie is scary, by the end you are literally spiderman and a single zombie goes down like nothing. The journey/build is interesting to me but I can totally see why someone like Jeff doesn't enjoy it. I just wish GB had someone on staff still who was willing to play these types of games without nitpicking every little thing so Jeff didn't have to and he could go play apex/cod or whatever.
@mars92: I find it fun to go from a shitty dude to a crazy parkouring bad ass. I totally get the complaint, but maybe it's just not Jeff's kinda game if he needs to move like it's Apex Legends from the start. I haven't played it yet but it truly seems (from previews) like it doesn't take more than an hour or two to get some of the vital traversal skills. I think in this video Jeff did one quest and started futzing around. He says he's 12 hours in but is constantly talking about how much crappy side stuff is everywhere, just do the main quest?
I think Jeff needs to get farther into the game to unlock more traversal stuff and that would solve alot of the stuff he's complaining about. I know the game doesn't make it clear but running around doing random side stuff early on is not ideal for having a good time in these games.
The "trickster" control scheme in Rider Republic is way better than the default as it uses the sticks, for anyone confused along with Rory for the face button spins/tricks.
Man, I love Jeff G but at this point he is just plain wrong about Mass Effect 3. I really hope he can bring himself to go replay it because with the citadel DLC it DOES wrap up the way he wants. It is so much damn fan service and his complaints about the game are so minor when you think about the game now with the fixed end and all the dlc as a full package. I understand it was pretty terrible at launch but he continually complains about how it was at launch and that is such a bummer. Please if you haven't played mass effect don't let Jeff's opinion turn you away from the franchise because it is an incredible and unmatched experience.
It's amazing to me the staff seems to really want more RTS games but they don't go try any recent offerings like Iron Harvest for example, not even a peep from them about that game.
Two things I hope happen in this episode Alex gets that bonus power and he brings Javik to the
Asari planet as Dark Channel is the perfect primer for biotic detonations (DC+Flair is a must on Insanity) and his dialogue in that planet is maybe the best writing in the series.
I don't think Alex will ever purposely detonate a biotic combo in this entire series my dude lol
