Meh. I'd rather he only speak up if he's comfortable speaking up, and not be pressured into it. If that's only 12 times in the history of NeoGAF, so be it.

Es tut mir leid, but that's just how I feel.

oh no no, don't get me wrong, I'm there with you about that, I really want him to post here, but if he by any means feel uncomfortable then it's a total no...

may be being a gaming media has more pressure than I think...

I bet that bonus bit took hours to film. No way he could have done that in a couple of takes with a straight face.

Haha he does crack a smile for a split second after he gives Pokemon Shuffle a 9.9 then dramatically leans into the camera to apologize. Luckily for him the music was added in post-production or else we probably would have seen him lose it

Hahaha, the Vice president has returned!
Probably to hide the existence of HL3!

Loved that ending. I feel like it's been a long time since we've seen some meta-plot antics, but it's great to see that style of content returning.

Hey, when he was talking about Chappie he says "I know I sound crazy to you. I know I'm from the future, I could have told you anything."

Oh god, the ending of this one.

Not only does he crush the "authenticity" of Battlefield Hardline but he also manages to bring its game design to the ground. Oh boy. xD

That Battlefield HardLine cutscene was dumb, though I think you'd have a hard time explaining why it's any more dumb than most of the narrative sequences in a Grand Theft Auto game.

Grand Theft Auto doesn't try to take itself seriously, this thing was advertised (and you can even tell by just the cover) that is trying to be too cool and realistic... seems like it just never gets to that point

Hardline doesn't take itself seriously either. The whole game is about as silly as that cutscene.

Wasn't it pitched as serious the very first time it appeared? Or maybe I'm thinking of the Kickstarter it came from...

And I think the suggestion that it's trying to be a cop drama, so by being that dumb and having no hook (to his claims, I don't know the game's full plot), it's failing at that.

Grand Theft Auto is never marketed as a cutesy, campy, or tongue-in-cheek.

At some point you have to take a game for what it is, rather than what the "pitch" or marketing promised.

I kinda doubt that the person writing a scene where a forklift full of cocaine gets hit by a train was thinking "Wow, this is going to be a gritty crime drama like Heat!"

I feel the way he described that scene in the FFXV demo is probably why a handheld Pokemon game will never be "exciting" again to me.

I don't remember it ever being pitched as being real gritty or serious. What do you mean about a Kickstarter?

I will agree though that the story and dialogue is pretty bad. Worse than the average game? Not really, but still disappointing.

Although we'll look at you funny if you do choose CSI over True Detective.
