Desk works for GBE so I'm fine with this too, if they feel more comfy and better than I'm okay with this! I'm sure most that don't like this will get used to it over time.
I just love the intros to features, whenever there's a new one I can't wait to see the intro, so so good! Also, hey, a new feature time which means the best time. This is gonna be good!
This looks..interesting, i'm kinda into it, and I have nothing against single-player MMO-like games. I absolutely loved Kingdoms of Amalur and that was widely hated because of its MMO feel. Plus I've put hundreds of hours in Elder Scrolls Online entirely solo so I think CrossCode is gonna go on my wishlist right now, thanks Ben!
@bbalpert: haha yeah, they're just a sponsor, it's the 2nd french division, Domino's Ligue 2, a deal with the first division would be probably too expensive and I doubt the French Football Association would want their top division to share a name with a pizza/restaurant chain so the 1st (top) is just Ligue 1. EDIT: Huh, apparently it's now actually Ligue 1 Conforama, it's a french furniture manufacturer, football is so weird sometimes, but money is money.
I will say it'd be fun to see them do Fifa 19 since this year there's lots of silly fun options for exhibition matches, stuff like only goals scored with headers count or if your score a goal one of your player gets removed from the game, sorta like a last man standing, so there's a lot of weird, more arcadey options for exhibition matches where they could really fool around.
As someone who loves football, I really love all the quicklooks of football games on GB, especially with Danny, glad to see them comeback, I'm hoping for a Fifa 19 one too! They can be really hilarious sometimes but also very fascinating seeing two perspectives of people who are into the sport and who aren't. Great combo.
Also, as someone who enjoys only the single player career mode in Fifa games I never buy them day 1 and I'm usually a year behind. I just recently bought Fifa 18 when it was on sale on PSN for like 12 euros and I'm doing a career managing teams from the lowest tiers (like 3rd german league) and trying to advance them higher/eventually move to the bigger teams if i'm lucky with offers. That way I'm not bothered that the game has outdated squads because I won't manage the biggest teams for several seasons and sadly EA often doesn't add much/anything to career mode/SP modes each year so I don't feel like I'm losing out by not getting the newest installment each year. (this year's, Fifa 19's career mode is virtually unchanged to Fifa 18's for example). PES works the same way sadly, but I'm not surprised really since the majority of money these companies make from these games do come from the multiplayer components.
We need a Mario Party Party spin-off episode with Pummel Party and also a new episode once that new Mario Party comes out, hopefully we'll get one for christmas when GBE visits for GOTY talks! Would be pretty neat.
Goddamn this is stunning, almost every new game I buy I'm constantly in awe of how good stuff can look these days on all platforms, diminishing returns my ass, things are super impressive constantly, at least to me, maybe I'm just easily wowed even on my base consoles. I've been playing God of War and Far Cry 5 and taking tons of photos both from gameplay and photomode, my favorite feature this gen. Don't get me wrong, gameplay is still king, and I'd take an ugly game with good gameplay than a pretty game with bad one (I've been playing Shadowrun: Dragonfall on PC so graphics aint everything) but still, jeez graphics these days are insane.
Can't wait for FH4 it's gonna be so awesome, just pure fun and chill. And seasons are such a cool addition, love weather in games, especially when it's dynamic or changing the whole world.
This was a hilarious UPF, good crew, good vibes and good games. Love it when behind the scenes people come in on the show and we can hear some interesting bits and pieces.
