I liked that they switched "Motoko Kusanagi" to being her actual name instead of her pseudonym, because it's basically the Japanese equivalent of "Jessica Excalibur"

Half an hour to say the game's cutscenes are too long and there's too many combo's and not enough enemy variety.

Wouldn't it be nice if the game let you practice combos more like in the original console version?

for non-rlm youtube shows i can recommend Movies with Mikey

he kinda goes all in on the gimmick poo poo but he's actually really good at editing and motion graphics so it works out in the end, and he has some good opinions like fifth element is the third best die hard movie and heath ledgers jokers is the best performance by an actor ever, and some bad ones like the scott pilgrim movie isn't literal aids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFTmCqq-rYc

Mikey is also a writer for Gearbox and is the voice actor for Scooter in Borderlands. Get you one!

They replaced Jonton with Danny, maybe next they can replace Arin with anybody else. And then call themselves the Game Goofs, where they're always happy and positive all the time.

e: wait what, GITS is out already? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah Arin is loving awful. I only watch occasionally for Danny. Same with why I enjoy Ninja Sex Party and any of their Star Bomb songs that is Danny instead of Arin attempting to "rap".

Also Jim Sterling sucks,but then I for some reason still watch Yahtzee every week.

I actually remember a few years back people were constructing gigantic ramps so that hypothetically someone could survive falling out of a plane and be the "first" to do it.

Idk i saw it on the daily show or something.

GOTG Vol 2 was really fun and good, but imagine Mike will hate it because its more of the same which is a bad thing apparently even though we live in a world where DC/Transformers movies are way more banal with their sameness; at least with Marvel movies I can feel joy and not be skeeved out by Zack Snyder and Michael Bay's awful quirks and "auteur" genius.

Jay will like it because he digs James Gunn movies like any smart person should.

GotG Vol. 2 was pretty fun and good. The villain was actually pretty good, i thought. He actually had some kind of personality.

Really I think GotG movies are the most interesting and cool of the Marvel movies. I'm bored with the Avengers stuff. I'm bored with Iron Man and Captain America and I dont care about the new spider-man movie. But GotG has the coolest universe and I wish it wasnt attached to the mainstream Marvel stuff. Just be crazy psychedelic space opera pulp, please.

You had me until "Jim Sterling sucks". Jim Sterling is a loving treat, like I used to hate that guy because of his punchable round face until I actually bothered to watch his videos and now he's a favorite of mine.

They really need to fix that in a patch or something. That was the only way I got good at the game on the 360, but that was like ten years ago and I've completely lost my touch. I think I've gotten a stone on every single level on my PC playthrough.
