NQcast76 – The Sweet Nutcracker

First half!

  • 1:51 Fallout 4 (Harlo and Maki return to the wasteland, but wonder if the game belongs in this generation. Console generation, that is.)
  • 19:41 Rise of the Tomb Raider (Chuck enjoys the continuing story of a woman raiding tombs. And also shooting bad dudes in the brain with arrows.)
  • 31:43 Halo 5: Guardians (Maki returns to the world of the Master Chief, though he’s barely played as the Master Chief. Warzone multiplayer is pretty fun, though!)
  • 42:13 Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (Harlo heads back into the animus and likes the setting and grappling hook but has no love for urchins.)
  • 52:13 Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Chuck says it’s not the best Call of Duty game, but it’s definitely the best Terminator game!)
  • 1:03:37 Need For Speed (Chuck wonders why we need to be connected online to see FMV acting that’s not bad enough to be fun, and racing so precise you end up not having fun.)
  • 1:09:23 Guitar Hero Live (Harlo and Chuck learn a new way to fake play guitar, and it’s not bad! The setlist is, though.)
  • 1:19:13 Jackbox Party Pack 2 (It has Quiplash XL in it, so if you don’t already have the game, buy this! Bomb Corp is fun too!)

Second Half! (1:25:09)

  • 1:25:22 Steam Controller (Harlo got one! It’s cool but it will take a LOT of getting used to.)
  • 1:29:59 Xbox One Elite Controller (Maki tries out this heavily customizable controller and likes it, but doesn’t $150 like it, unfortunately.)
  • 1:36:26 WWE 2K16 (Chuck and Harlo recommend a pass on this Steve Austin simulator, just with a lot less violence.)
  • 1:44:38 Rebel Galaxy (It’s like AC4 Black Flag’s ship combat, but in space! But that’s about it. Sad face.)
  • 1:50:10 Transformers Devastation (Maki enjoys the graphics, audio and presentation, but everything else feels like a budget game.)
  • 1:55:55 Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Harlo made it to the end! The real end! Kind of. Why did they duplicate everything for Chapter 2, though?)
  • 2:01:37 Mad Max (Chuck really enjoyed the ending! Shame about the 20 hours that came before it.)
  • 2:06:42 Megamind: Ultimate Showdown (Chuck says it’s a Lego game without the collecting! And he got all the achievements, so he got his 99¢ worth.)
  • 2:09:55 Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Corner!
    • 2:10:58 Mirror’s Edge (Maki realizes it’s Halo Speedruns: The Game. This is not a bad thing!)
    • 2:13:29 Fable II (Maki gets an achievement 6 years after his last Fable 2 achievement!)
  • 2:20:16 DLC Corner!
    • 2:20:24 Rock Band 4 DLC update (RB: Green Day came over! Almost everything shows up as purchased if you own it now! Good!)
    • 2:22:47 Batman Arkham Knight ‘60s Batmobile DLC (Maki’s world tour of anger continues, but he at least has a realization about what they’ve been doing with it.)
    • 2:26:13 Pinball FX2: Balls of Fury pack (Archer is pretty good, Family Guy plays the best and the Bob’s Burgers & American Dad tables are pretty much just for fans of the properties.)
  • 2:36:07 E-mail Corner!
