What makes a good free-to-play game? Apparently, a bad game.

    Overacting Kathleen terrifies me.

    Question: After the show there's the "Coming Up" bit. Does it actually come up in another video or is it just there for a last bit of humor?

    well, at least I didn't have to log into my google+ account to watch this or to post this comment.

    I had my proof when one company tried to make a console for non-gamers, and then didn't even have the conviction (which should have accompanied such a bonehead maneuver in the first place) to stick to their guns.

    The gamers have spoken. It's Pay 2 Win all the way.

    There's no other video. It just continues the trend of imitating a news show for the lulz.

    People missed that in Beyond? I found an across the street solution my first time through it.

    Oh, no you didn't! A YouTube video where you claim Batman would beat Superman? Youtube's gonna freak the fuck out!

    Wind Fish in name only, for it is neither.

    The BBC reported last week that the PS4 version of Ghosts, with its higher resolution, has noticeable framerate drops. No information was given regarding the performance of the XBone.

    Is Kathleen channelling Jim Sterling this episode?
    Thank God for Kathleen, I suppose.

    Ha! Check out the Android game 'The Hobbit: Kingdoms'. Still #7 in Top Grossing. And this isn't even Pay-to-get-"more-powerful-characters". It is literally Pay To Win. You can buy Mithril, which you can use to complete building things instantly. The main way that you do things is you build buildings, and build armies, and attack places. All of this takes time, which you can skip with a few bucks. So...
    Yeah. Pure Pay To Win.

    @moosemaimer: The reason behind no information about the XBone version is that there is an embargo that Microsoft has enforced concerning information about their system and games on said system.

    I am developing a game where you can pay to view the end credits.

    That's right. You can pay to skip ALL of the game content and go straight to the YOU WIN! screen and watch the end credits scroll by.

    In fact you can pay extra to not view the end game credits at all....

    I know it's too late to pledge, but in case you haven't seen this yet, check it out. The usually foxy Kathleen is especially beautiful here.

    Something about Kathleen.

    .... What? All the other comments were doing it.

    You think Desert Bus is bad? Crazy Bus (not to be confused with the awesome Crazy Taxi) somehow manages to be worse.
