My god star fox zero… jesus christ the controls for that fucking game. I traded it in after the second stage, I traded it in. They also no way to play with the pro controller for single player, and the voice has to come out from the gamepad. My question is when Chris was working did you work on a game where they shoed in motion controls when it was not needed?

3. Can I be on episode 99? Im not free for episode 1999 RIP Prince.

I paid full price for The Order and The Witcher. Enjoyed The Order more and finished the game. I think the Witcher despite its quantity of content wasnt worth full price for me because it was just too much content and I just didnt enjoy the combat enough to push through to get to the story of the game. I dont think I’ll ever finish that game.

I paid $12 for Ground Zeros and couldnt understand how people paid full price.

2. If you could change something about these generation console, what will it it be?
3. This might be a weird one but if had one question to ask God, Buddha, Zues or whoever you prefer, what will that question be?

I’m tired of open world games myself, this is why I never beat MGS5 because of this and the repetitive gameplay.

I’ll probably pick up Ratchet & Clank by the end of the month. Out of the PS2 trio of platformers, why do you think Ratchet and Clank was the most successful franchise when compared to the Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter series?

In reply to Tony Polanco. This is an excellent analogy. I agree. I much prefer a 15-20hr experience than a 100hr experience. Even if the 100hr was good, I'm way more likely to play that 20hr experience over again. Tony is right, too much of a good thing can ruin an experience.

1-What new features would you like to see in the rumored prequel to the Red Dead? 2- Do you think that Nintendo will drop the price of the Wii U now that the Xbox One is at the same price point? 3-When will people stop comparing console to PC ? The quote on quote master race is always quick to point out the flaws of consoles but celebrate when a console game comes to pc. Give me a break. PS I’m not talking about every PC gamer just the elitist #ssholes.

1. What in your opinion has been the best game featuring a Marvel character?
2. What do you think Rockstar should do with the next Grand Theft Auto game to make it more original? Since the formula is getting a little repetitive.
3. When was the last time you played games at someone else’s house and was it more enjoyable than playing online?

In reply to torrencedavis.

I explained this to Brett after the show (kicking myself for not bringing it up on-air).

Take a game like Dragon Age: Inquisition. That’s 100 hours of quality content. But even with that game I have said that a good 40-60 hours could have been cut and it would make for a better experience.

We have to consider the point of diminishing returns. If someone says to me “Hey, do you want one top quality burger or five top quality burgers?” my natural inclination is to go for five. But what happens? I eat the first burger and love it, same with the second one. As I keep eating them the burgers aren’t as good to me. Their quality hasn’t dipped at all but my taste for them has. By the time I finish the fifth burger, even though it is just as good as the others, I feel overstuffed and would have preferred if I would have had 3 max.

Basically, you can have too much of a good thing. This goes back to why I prefer a 20 hour game over a 100 hour game any day of the week. I get the same amount of quality in an amount that doesn’t feel overwhelming.

In reply to torrencedavis. When Brett said, "Witcher 3" he basically dropped a mic. There are a bunch of games that have a ton of content that are quality. Tony is assuming that quantity means low quality. You have to take every game at face value. Lunar games are 80+ hours and filled with quality.

1. Naughty Dog says Uncharted 4’s ending will be contriversial and sad . That says to me that Drake will die. What do you think?

2. Unlike the Marvel cinematic universe DC owns all of their properties and can’t get the their movies right. Can you imagine if Marvel owned all of their properties?

3. How would you rate the God of War games from best to worst?
