I personally think he can guess 65% of the scores within 0.5 stars of the real score what do you think Edit: I forget metacritic was out of 100 so I’ll say within 10%
I didn't like 2D Sonic either until the widescreen versions of the games came out, and I am telling you those games were meant to be played widescreen.
I know no one else cares about Madden 25 but it was the last Madden I got excited about. It was the first year they introduced a "real physics" engine. Also it came with DirecTV Sunday ticket and that was the main reason I got it for my birthday. 80 makes sense to me
See here's the funny thing, I think Baer's actually going to win this one. NL really knows movies, but he has very interesting opinions with regards to games, which I think is going to throw him on this.
Madden 25 was the last game that was published in conjunction with an NCAA Football game. You could actually import the college players into madden 25 as part of the draft class. One of the last solid Madden games in terms of features and player development mechanics.
The reason the Madden games score higher than the audience game is because they usually have a critic who doesn’t understand the difficulties Madden has faced (lack of change between years), so they evaluate at face value without taking that into consideration.
They DID make a Fellowship game. At least, there's a fellowship portion in one of the games. I definitely had a game where we had to go through the Murkwood and hung out with Tom Bombadil
lmao it’s funny I actually went to highschool and was genuinely good friends with Martin from PDD and have met all those guys when they were doing stand up to the NYU scene. Ben is particularly a sweet guy. sounds extremely weird hearing NL and baer bring them up :/. critics want you to believe their movie is mid, but in my totally unbiased opinion it’s extremely funny ;)
Actually I just realized how this kind of game could never exist anymore. Now that Fortnite has 1000 tie-ins and collabs. We don’t need a Marvel or DC Battle Royale. Because they just release skins on Fortnite.
I liked perfect dark zero :( It's hard to play through any bioshock that isnt infinite. I did it as marathon and holy shit were the games before infinite not very good. Infinite feels great and plays great. The stories cool, I always loved how bioshock looked and all that, but as a video games the original 2 are pretty bad, and infinite is great.
How does he hate exploration but love the souls games? Isn’t the exploration one of the pillars and highlights of the souls series? That’s probably my favorite part, even above the combat in those games. Hearing him say that is crazy. No wonder he doesn’t like awesome games like hollow knight, outer wilds, etc
Could also be that he particularly does not like open world game exploration, no Souls-Like that he has played and liked expect like Elden Ring was has a open world
That segment is like tuning on late night radio talks. I just feel like taking a drive in the rain and put this on the radio.
Thats a vibe to live by
I was looking for something to fall asleep too and I wasn’t sure this was it thank you
All time vibes content. I'd pay good money for this as a regular show
Baer and Ryan have perfect radio voices
Baer brings be back damn near a decade hearing him shoot the shit with NL. Keep rollin, gentlemen
NL and Baer remind me of listening to two of your uncles talk about sports. Like just a fun conversation to get to listen to.
Keep doing this! This is my jam, you just chatting with Baer about stuff is so freaking soothing ❤
do you guys think he can guess the Metacritic score on these games
i don't know
idk man lets see the vid
(ft. BaerTaffy)?

haven't watched the video yet, will let you know after 👍
38:48 Same! I loved the splinter cell games and I played far cry 3 stealth with a bow. So much fun
I didn't like 2D Sonic either until the widescreen versions of the games came out, and I am telling you those games were meant to be played widescreen.
that mx vs atv callout hit me like a truck, untamed was like one of my favorite games growing up

more content with Baer LETSGO
pogchamp content right here, miss the good old days of the roundtable 😥
See here's the funny thing, I think Baer's actually going to win this one. NL really knows movies, but he has very interesting opinions with regards to games, which I think is going to throw him on this.
Well well well
@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz NL was not only the winner, but only off by 1 on a staggering number of these. I'm genuinely shocked and impressed.
NL saying he doesn't like exploration in games is a *wild* take to me but I respect him for saying it lol.
Madden 25 was the last game that was published in conjunction with an NCAA Football game. You could actually import the college players into madden 25 as part of the draft class. One of the last solid Madden games in terms of features and player development mechanics.
Love me some Baer
The ability for NL to recall information is actually insane.
"it left me wanting more" as a positive critic review is so funny
The reason the Madden games score higher than the audience game is because they usually have a critic who doesn’t understand the difficulties Madden has faced (lack of change between years), so they evaluate at face value without taking that into consideration.
Absolutely should run this game back, love the chill convos like this
perfect dark zero would be great on stream. some really fun times
They DID make a Fellowship game. At least, there's a fellowship portion in one of the games. I definitely had a game where we had to go through the Murkwood and hung out with Tom Bombadil
I was getting riled up because the game that already exists is exactly how he described it lmao.
Lego Lord of the Rings
@@cardiffmad Not that one, but I'm sure that's also good
Love these segments, super funny and relaxing
Nl loves telling that skibidi toilet haloween story, and im loving every minute of it jerry, loving every minute.
Ive played a lot of MOBA but didnt play the LOTR one, it sounds so crazy to hear "Gandalf mid"
just waking up in the morning gotta take my bike to the lake
This is a lot of fun. I hope NL will do more metacritic guessing related content!
need more of this
Please continue this series! These podcasty game episodes are so good
This is like perfect kick back and fall asleep content, in a great way.
Beer needs a slightly better understanding of numbers if he wants to step to NL's tune
Guessing a 95+ on any of these is actually insane
This man Fusion Frenzys. I have the same experience but mine was a Sega GT 2002/Get Set Radio Future disk.
i fucking love splinter cell
Is it bad that I had mediocre knowledge of the movies version of this but had extensive knowledge of nearly every game listed here
Critics be like "best i have played" *gives it a 90*, "worst game ever, do not buy" *20*
would love to see NL play through the remastered bioshock series, especially infinite.
Damn I haven’t watched Baer in a long time, I miss that guy.
I really think the one on one podcast-y things are nl's best content
More of this type of thing!
TimeSplitters erasure as the best PS2 launch title.
lmao it’s funny I actually went to highschool and was genuinely good friends with Martin from PDD and have met all those guys when they were doing stand up to the NYU scene.

I remember those days NL it was Peggle 2
Anyone remember the DC Moba Infinite Crisis? Terrible game but kinda fun to fuck around with friends. I miss it
Actually I just realized how this kind of game could never exist anymore. Now that Fortnite has 1000 tie-ins and collabs. We don’t need a Marvel or DC Battle Royale. Because they just release skins on Fortnite.
Mobas are such ass
Shoutout Millcreek/Holladay.
its over for dragons dogma 2 300 episode run
I love these videos!
In the subnautica part, I guessed 88, fucking unbelievable
banter maniac but doesnt like base building
very surprising
Fun podcast
this was great!
If you're wondering, Salt And Sanctuary is a dope 2D Dark Souls game. I recommend it to everyone.
I love having full screen light mode wikipedia
I liked perfect dark zero :(

Bioshock Infinite is an absolute masterpiece boys
It's decent.
Me when I'm the developer of BioShock Infinite
I KNOW Baer didn't throw shade at the Switch library of all things. Literally the only console this generation with games. THE ONLY ONE.
King shit of turd mountain
Bioshock Infinite is still a masterpiece in 2023. I would love it if NL did do a let’s play of it. I think he’d actually end up enjoying it.
It's genuinely awful. Not a single thing about that game is redeemable. Story, gameplay, the 'characters'. All embarrassingly over praised.
Please do more of this with Baer NL!!!!!

love u NL but u gotta go to jail for not liking sonic
