Yeah, the way Brad talks about Apex Legends is already making me sweat about GOTY talks. But it's still early in the year. He'll find some other game to insult people about.
Apparently Respawn had some streamers play a version of Apex last year to get their input. They must have chosen those streamers really well given that this did not leak back then.

I actually laughed out loud when Brad was telling his reaction when he heard influencers were going to finally see Apex.
Oh... I missed that somehow. I thought this was a preview event. And I’d never heard of it until yesterday.
It was a preview event, the only difference was "oh hey it comes out on Monday"
It's remarkable that announce and launch is still a thing that can be pulled off, I thought that the ol' "and it's coming in the Autumn" thing from E3 was pushing it for things that aren't expansion packs.

I think this sort of quick release schedule was by design. Brad even said they only mentioned it was coming out in a few days as he was leaving the event.

If it's a small enough group of streamers, especially if they're big Respawn/shooter enthusiasts, they probably had airtight NDAs as well as a general sense of knowing what's good for them/no desire to leak it early.

Ok I listened to more of the Apex talk and I gotta say I am hoping they do some streams and vods playing together because I enjoyed those with PUBG. Eventually it got to be too much but I think it was a really good idea for them.
I’ll never play Apex but the whole concept intrigued me and I think Respawn makes a solid product. Titanfall 2 is still dope as hell.
the fact that alex didn't pick up that fucking whiskey bottle in mass alex 2 literally killed me.
I'm dead now.
posting from the grave.
Yeah I'm going to have to fix something in my brain that fries every single time Alex misses an interrupt or doesn't explore an environment (ME2's are small enough that you'd think the latter wouldn't be an issue, and yet)
Hopefully I can do that because ME2 rules and I would love to see it through someone else's eyes
Playing games on video and talking over it is the worst possible way to play a game.
Like if we really want him to have the best possible experience with the series, it would have been better if Alex just played the game on his own time and we had weekly Beastcast checkins on his progress.

It was killing me Vinny didn't tell Alex to go back to the bar, the brandy bottle icon showed up for a second at least 4 times and Vinny seems to always notice but for that one he didn't point it out.

You're not wrong, but it's also their job to play video games and talk over them.

He totally did point it out but didn't mention it was for a quest. I can really sympathize with how difficult it must be to not backseat drive one of your favorite games though (Even if he doesn't remember how anything works or where anything is) They'll get it next time I'm sure...
For as many bridge building type games as Vinny plans I'm surprised he's still unclear on how stuff like tension works. He seems to use suspension design more because that's how bridges work, rather than understanding how force gets distributed.
Probably for the best, because otherwise we wouldn't get the "somehow still functions" works of madness he creates.

Do they like it? I haven't gotten there yet and the game seems like a blast to me.
Very positive.

Battle royale will never be my thing but I suppose it's a fun surprise for people that do.

That cheesy action movie thing is one of my favorite moments in mass effect.

I do get that it’s hard, but these days slapping on the “early access” tag manages expectations so you can drop content AND test for the broken shit.
