Colt Eastwood’s guest tonight
Dreamcast Guy

Are you fucking kidding me? What happened, did Crapgamer cancel at the last minute?

Your point? Dreamcast even mentioned he’s gonna start covering Xbox more often I think some of his takes were stupid but I’m not holding a grudge against him

I was using their product probably 8-10 years back. I was surprised when they said they made games, and did not believe them at all. The founder mentioned this a long time back in an interview with Thurrott and co, iirc.

They are a gaming company which just so happens to sell Win Utilities as well. Nothing wrong if your secondary unit starts generating more revenue than your primary business unit.

Game dev is hard, anyway.

LMFAO wtf i rather Colt just talk by himself instead of bringing DreamcastGuy of all people lol

Next thing you know Colt gone have MBG as his next guest :rofl:

I think he’s trying to enlarge his audience, plus he said he has been on several PS centric podcasts, so this is the natural follow.

Anyway I won’t even click on the video, I don’t like Dreamcastguy at all, I like only the videos in which he’s whining because of some Xbox win lol. He’s one of the many who hoped sincerely Xbox would disappear.

yup totally cant with dreamcast guy, just so unexciting. get Jez on or grubb

He straight up clickbaits Xbox news lol.

Prime example


Edit: then again maybe it’s a good thing he’s doing this to get the cringe clickbaiting to stop if he seems loved by the Xbox community. I do find it hilarious now all these people who shit talked Xbox for so long are trying to claw their way back and pretend they love Xbox all of a sudden.

While I would love to say fuck off don’t even try, if the Xbox community does that then they’ll just go back to do the same shit they have for a long time so we need to sort of be ok with them swapping like that even though we’re not dumb we know what they’re doing.

With websites too they will start to move to posting more positive shit and if that starts to get more clicks than the clickbait hate for Xbox they’ll shift. We can all see this coming and has already started but just you wait till the ball is rolling in the next 2-3 years it’s going to be a night and day difference.

The trend is already shifting, IGN and Gamespot already make much less clickbait articles and videos, but I personally know how professionalism doesn’t exist anymore and gaming press are glorified influencers who need clicks and ads, no more and no less than a streamer or youtuber, so I’ll never look back. Moreover following a “sanitized” Twitter feed and a select number of serious websites you get all the news without the usual shit.

I think the first part does, but I can see why there might be some ambiguity. But the second part, you have to take what it says at face value because I don’t know how you can interpret it any other way. If it is not the case, then I think the person needs to reword it to not give people the wrong idea.

At long last, Italy is a very cost sensitive market, moreover the sensation of being a third rate market fo MS is always strong for consumers, it’s another reason why Sony is so strong here, many people don’t really like the “american way” of MS doing things.

I hope this makes things a bit easier for the people there to jump into next gen! more choices like this is great and I hope even more countries get it.

This will most likely help, all the cost sensitive moves MS is doing will convince someone at least, the Playstation craze is really costly, moreso in EU where everything Sony is 80€ (~95$) now.

Game Pass must be a big thing there. That’s another cool thing about Game Pass it helps people who aren’t as fortunate to enjoy this cool hobby at such a low price. I’m almost more happy for those people to be able to play games for much cheaper than I get to haha. This value play could be huge for MS this generation, a Series S with Game Pass and monthly games too look forward too, not only that but the console will be pretty much future proof with xCloud for decades to come.

Not as big as it could considering abysmal MS marketing in EU and equally abysmal market position after a disastrous generation here, people prefer to shell 80€ each game for the “honor” to play on PS.

The amount I was able to stomach, to see what the hell was going on, sure felt like he’s attempting to reap some good will with the Xbox crowd. And Colt was playing right in to it

And if anyone doesn’t know why there’s plenty of hate for Dreamcast Guy, it’s not all a precieved anti-xbox bias, the guy is just such a fake drama troll and frankly, a liar. Do yourselves a favor, google “Dreamcast Guy Lies” And at first you may think it’s all from one dude who just has it out for him after the first few, but it piles up. Lots of different people accusing him about multiple subjects he completely bullshitted his audience over

Like seriously, fuck that guy

Dolby Vision update isnt publicly live on xbox yet. Once it is it will default to it instead of HDR 10.

That dude is a joke. Buddy of mine really appreciates his content , so my guess is his Nintendo content is ok and not full of nonsense but his Xbox stuff has been crap.

Watched a video or two by Griffin about him and yeah, terrible. At the same time I am not overly fond of Colt. He sometimes has good content but too often saying a lot but really not saying much at all at the same time. Also click bait titles and what not. I’ve been noticing the same from channels like Zalker too, they don’t need to resort to console warring, but they sure do with some of those video titles.
