it's that time again where you've got questions and I've got answers so let's check out the November Q&A if you could change anything about the switch what would it be well you know there's just some general performance stuff it's kind of boring I could tank and hope for like oh it'd be great if this thing had better battery life or you know maybe just a little bit more performance but honestly if there's one like physical aspect of the system I would change I hate this kickstand so much I don't even use the thing in like tabletop mode very often it's true the fact that it's constantly popping out what I'm using it in portable mode or what I'm trying to dock it it might even come out and make it before I can't actually slide it into the dock properly it's just really annoying so yeah for the one you could change upgrade this ASAP do you think that games in early access like player unknowns battlegrounds should be nominated for Game of the Year this is a weird situation because even just the term early access I feel like it's been changing more and more as time has gone on it used to be that a game would do early access or beta and people would just try it out for a couple months and give feedback but now we have games that go into early access like a full title and people play it for half a year full year multiple years and it never actually sees a full release until way later and pub G makes this even weirder because while the game we know of right now is an early access it does technically get its full release in mid December making it a game that did come out this year are we awarding the early access version are rewarding the actual full version how different are the two it's really confusing I mean if it's just a simple yes or no answer no I don't think an early access game should be up for nomination but just the concept of really access in general has gotten so weird right now do game on a PC if yes what games if no why not well I do play on PC as well I'm not just strictly a console gamer admittedly I spend a lot more time on my consoles just because I enjoy the simplicity and comfort of like getting home hitting the couch and just laying back playing game of the controller but there are times I will play on PC and it's there only because either a game is entirely exclusive to PC like for instance Starcraft 2 or more recently divinity original sin 2 or there are some game genres that I just prefer having a keyboard and mouse for for instance if I'm doing any kind of like multiplayer FPS like overwatch I'll do that on PC or like old-school style pause and play RPGs like pillars of attorney the I'll do PC for that as well so I'm not strictly just a console gamer but I don't really do a ton of gaming on PC just for those handful of games where it feels right for me what's your most favorite game of 2017 and I'm actually beginning this question a lot right now cuz we've only got a month left in the year so everyone's wondering what that game of the year list looks like and you know be a little unoriginal I gotta say my favorite game this year has to be alleged as out of breath of the wild I mean it's just I've been a longtime Zelda fan the game did a fantastic job of reinventing the series kind of injecting some of that older style with newer gameplay mechanics I loved it for something a little more different they want to know so my runner-up choices I really really like to Nier automata that's kind of an outside choice a bit of a niche game that's not for everyone but I loved it another game that was absolutely fantastic was pyre from supergiant games I've loved everything those guys put out it's this great unique experience and really cheap to pick up - if you haven't looked at the game please do it's incredibly now to kind of go ahead and here with that another question I got was we all know of the major titles which will be nominated for game of the year but what about those hidden gems the media doesn't highlight you know I gotta say this year in general has been incredible water for gaming one of the best ones in a long time and not only from triple-a titles but for indie stuff - there are some incredible indie games that come out this year and two that really come to mind for me are hollow knight and dead cells how long it's gotten a little bit of media attention it's this game that's basically a 2d action platformer that's got some dark soul style vibes going on for the storytelling it's also got this heavy like insect art style to it really really cool game worth checking out another one that's kind of similar though it's dead cells which is another kind of Metroidvania design but it's also a roguelike where every time you die the world changes a little bit you have to unlock all these different upgrades and power abilities in order to be better at each attempt you make really cool games make sure checking both out another question I was getting a lot this time is talk about what I think about potential upcoming systems the main examples being with the recent releases of the Xbox one s1 x and ps4 pro do you think that these console half steps are what we should expect in the future also how long will this console generation last original Xbox and ps4 are starting to fall behind I think and that's really the main reason why I think that the idea doing lots of half-steps in the near future are very unlikely because while the 1x and ps4 Pro are more powerful than the original systems they're still being tied down a bit by them because any game that's made to work on the 1x and 4k still needs to make sure it can at least run at a decent resolution on the original Xbox so I think that we for sure at least have one more full brand-new generation that could be as soon as 2019 I think 2020 is probably the most realistic hard day that we're gonna see a lot of new systems start to hit the market and then after that it's a very possible we might see companies start to adopt a more smaller generation gap kind of system we're getting more and more performance bumps and eventually some games are just not going to work on the oldest version of the model but we'll see
