GrubbSnax Ep. 16: Metroid Dread, Battlefield 2042, and Best Looking Snax

YAYYYYYY

Hair on point.

Thank you for answering my question! I'm extremely excited about Possibility Space. Austin absolutely kills it in world-building on Friends at the Table, so I can't wait to see what kind of games they come up with.

Also, absolutely one of the best things about living around Denver is how quickly snow melts off the road. Holy shit is it a nice change from the east coast and rust belt.

God, I love this show. It is raw, unmitigated, unfettered video game blow-by-blow information and shorthand common sense and insights, it's great.

I don't know about battlefield just yet. I have problems with the class system, mostly, but I DID have fun with the beta, I will try to be optimistic but, I am hoping at best for a battlefield 4 level launch disaster, to be brutally honest, and, probably unrealistic. Slightly battlefield squad legacy biases but also general battlefield support/fill-class missing from this legitimize the collective "what?", like so much Ghost Recon first person Battle Royale. It's like, you have the formula, I know it must suck to be asked for the same game over and over, but they must know that some of this design is...just not in line with the rest of what makes Battlefield. And I'm not even that guy, who can't make concessions for things, or acts like a big baby about it- I'm just saying how do you remove any, and all information as it pertains to classes in a battlefield, and make it a HERO SHOOTER, WITH BOTS? I still had fun, but boy, I really am confused on what that studio was thinking, hopefully the full game explains.

Going to pick up Dread since I have heard so many glowing reviews it seems like a fools move not to. Glad to hear it, and honestly, even if Battlefield is a miss, what a year (or three) of video games- woah.

Thank you Jeff, excellent work as usual

Please let Battlefield be Battlefield. They missed on V, it was okay. Let Dice do what they want to do without the meddling until EA gut it like they did Bioware.

I think they need to empower infantry again. Vehicles have just felt too powerful since really 3. Where you could still rack up tons of kills with a vehicle, but one or two smart anti vehicle infantry players could completely ruin your day.

More power to the boots on the ground.

best of both worlds, go to an aquarium!

This is why i sub BABY!

This is a great show. Thanks Jeff!

Dread is only ever the second metroid game I've ever played. I'm also a huge fan of it. I love it. Thanks for the great content as always! Great show!
