I swear that everytime that Jeff and Ryan do a quick look, Jeff starts by saying "Alright Ryan"

Love how the pre-order bonus turns off achievements. Kinda defeats the purpose of the pre-order. Oh well, this will be a fun distraction after it hits the bargain bin.

If  this game was a screenshot I think it would actually look pretty good, unfortunately the animations are pretty jarring.

Jeff is playing this game more like a shooter, than a third person dogger. Which is what it is. Needs more Shadow attacking, more using Shadow to retrieve guns, more punching.

Jeff sounds bored and understandably so, because the game looks boring and generic.

Doesn't look too bad, maybe I'll check it out in a few months when the price drops. Looks like it'd be a good buy for about 20 bucks.

Actually, I'm playing the game and REALLY enjoying it. The shooting and melee feel really satisfying... I'm thinking about writing a review because this is the first time I don't see the points that the GB team are trying to make, and this QL is definitely not representing the game properly in my opinion. 
 
It's a fresh change from other third person shooters, because of the scarce ammunition and you need to conserve bullets... (BTW, you can command Shadow to fetch you a weapon)... 
 Just my opinion though...

Its a mediocre game and they just wanted to spice it up a bit, watching Jeff run around as Robocop was much better than him just playing a mediocre game, which are boring to watch.

Oh man, when Jeff said the game gets sweary I really thought Ryan would say something like "Oh, so there are 65 curse words in the game? And a dart bar?"

I was kinda thinking it was only for people who are only enjoy stuff teeming with testosterone for no fucking reason, which also counts a lot of adults. This type of thing isn't for me; I more enjoy story and characters rather than shooting folks in the face and horrific execution animations throughout the entire game.

Teach the dog how to shoot a gun and get rid of jack and then you got a game.

Think that I'm in the same mentality as Vinny & others where you are expecting Jack to pull out a rubber ball (like in Fable 2) for that animation sequence. That or a button for dog leg humping.

Man, I've never heard Jeff sound this bored. Not just for a quick look but just ever. Don't blame him necessarily. I think the game might be too long for the base of gameplay that it drives on. I'm on the 4th or 5th level I think and I'm already saying "ehhhh". Good thing I got it from Gamefly. Would have been disappointed to the say the very least.

The questions stays unanswered: hump mechanic? Shadow dawg tea bagging Dudes? 
 
I myself miss crotch-shots as acknowledged kill achievements in games in general. I often shoot between the legs instead the head. Yet headshot is well established as a skillful frag, but crotch-shots are still not. 
Think about it ;)

Namco, What have you done with this franchise? The first two were crap and this hardly qualifies as a next-gen game.

Game looks pretty fun. The dog animations are surprisingly fluid compared to the rest of the game.

If the achievements are worthwhile, I'll probably rent it or something.

It doesn't look bad, but it also doesn't look like it brings anything to the oversaturated shooter market that isn't already done elsewhere.

Yeah just you wait until he grabs you by the balls and rips your intestines out through your crotch. This actually happens numerous times and you get an achievement for it.
