I wonder how many times Brad will say the words " dumb " or " nonsense " in this quick look.

I'm looking forward to playing this game once I get an Xbox One, definitely gonna get the bundle. I hope the humour in the game is better than it was in all the marketing, though. Guess we'll see now. :p

EDIT: oof, not at all liking the idea of your upgrades not always being active. that sucks.

I can't front, this game is colorful as hell. I wouldn't be mad if other games took some notes.

I like the art style but wish there was less motion blur when turning.

Games looks great but I don't really like that whole custom video for reviewers/streamers. Not a huge deal but seems pretty sleazy. Just my opinion.

I'm hoping later upgrades provide speed boosts because the movement looks super slow.

More like Overhype, am I right?

This looks pretty nice, like a crackdown game set in a place where the sun actually shines. The marketing totally drives me away from it sadly.

I count over 600 collectibles so far, i'm twenty minutes into the quicklook. Thats WAY too many collectibles.

Unless 150 is the combined total for all different kinds, into one number. 150 would be a lot too though. I hate non meaningful collectibles.

But the actual game seems interesting.

This looks all right. I don't know if it's the "killer app" that the One has been waiting for, though.

From all the videos I have seen of this, it seems very possible by ineptitude to make this game look extremely boring but man once the combos start stacking up and you really utilize the movement it seems like such a good team. Almost want a Xbox One for this..

8 mins in and Dan asks if he can make a Kid Rock Character, I want to say that is like the eighth time in a video/podcast this month that he talks about Kid Rock..... Dan has a problem. I really think he likes Kid Rock and is just hiding behind a "oh no, I talk about him a lot because I think he sucks so much" mentality.

So...maybe I'm the odd one out but i never really liked grinding along rails. It's a really boring thing to base large chunks of your gameplay around. I could see that getting tiring pretty quickly.

With no offense to either Brad or Dan because I think they are entertaining in their own right, they just seem to be very bland duo to present a game.

Also Vinny should just be the default open world quicklooker.

The colors and everything is really awesome in this game. Looks like it might get a bit repetitive but it really looks nice.

Humor seems bad but Yosuke jumping around this world shooting those guns is pretty cool.

The toilet paper, shoes hanging from power lines, and such aren't meaningless -- it's more accurate to call them recipe ingredients, because you combine them to make new amps (i.e. character and weapon upgrades).

Nah, this game looks totally uninteresting to me as well. I can't place why, but wow does it look boring.

The art is cool and things seem neat about it, but as a whole package it could not be more bland.

Same here. It's a nice looking game, but ever since I first saw it, it looked a little slow to me. Some speedlines or even a slight movement speed increase would go a long way I think.
