    In my opinion, the problem with attracting new viewers to BB wasn't how deranged it was but the fact that is was a massive inside joke. That makes it difficult for people to get into.

    The Old Republic was actually really fun.
    ...The problem was that after you'd played through the main storyline for whatever class you picked, you were stuck waiting for endgame content until they released it. They should have just cut out all the MMO mechanics and released the damn thing as a series of single player games, one for each class, and they would have been much better off.
    Seriously, I would have paid full price for just the Imperial Agent and Sith class stories, they were great.

    - 60 bucks
    - 15 bucks subscription
    - crap
    Need For Speed: Most Wanted
    - 1 year development
    - I can imagine anyone who turned up to the office dressed like an edgy street racer could take a role
    - idk, I got my copy LEGALLY for free
    - no subscription
    - incredible, 10/10 timeless classic
    Make the right choice.

      SWTOR is far from being crap.
      It's nowhere near my favorite game, and I have tons of issues with it, but if it was crap then I wouldn't come back to it every year to replay the stories.
      The bad aspects of it, at least imo, is the mmo parts. If you separated that from the stories then you'd be left with a huge singleplayer game with tons of varied stories and ungodly amounts of voice lines
      But it'll always be an mmo so the experience will always be tainted in some way

    I don't comment on a ton of RUclips videos but I really miss the old freewheeling format of Brain / Business Blaze. I understand trying to broaden the appeal but I feel like that's what your other channes are for...this one was different. The more structured the videos feel, the less "must watch" they are for me. (And they used to be my favorites!)

    MW2 was epic. It had everything. An amazing storyline for single player. The most fun multiplayer i have EVER had the pleasure of playing. Spec ops, allowing you to play offline with friends.. and the soundtrack.... Wow... Just wow. The original GTAs ,even up to vice city had rampages, where you had to just butcher people as quickly as possible with a certain weapon. Still, i never shot, stabbed or attacked anyone, despite spending my entire youth playing these games..

      Totally agree. I have played pretty much every COD since, and not one has hit the spot like MW2 did. Its the only online shooter were i could play free for all and genuinely have a chance of winning. Nowadays i have to settle for team deathmatch. It truly felt so much more forgiving and even, no matter how much time you had put into it compared to others... The soundtrack.... awesome. The enemy of my enemy is my friend still gets a listen every now and then..
