Mike played some Fallout 76, so does he have answers ... ?

GB Decides 99: 3 hours of Fallout 76 isn’t enough to figure it out

Hollywood & Games returns to Los Angeles on December 10, bringing together 250+ executives, founders, investors and decision-makers at the Grammy Museum's Clive Davis Theater. Explore the business of entertainment's biggest partnership through independent, journalist-led conversations on IP, investment, storytelling and new opportunities across gaming and Hollywood. Space is limited. Secure your seat today.

The country roads have lifted their embargo, and now GamesBeat reviews editor Mike Minotti can talk about them. He spends some time explaining what he found on this week’s episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast. It turns out that we still have questions.

PC gaming editor Jeffrey Grubb joins Mike to talk about BOBO (Call of Duty: Black Ops Black Out), which still isn’t doing it for him. Mike is also finally playing 2016’s Hitman, and he’s mad that Jeff didn’t tell him how great it is. It’s a shame that we don’t hours of audio footage — like a podcast, for example — where Jeff repeatedly told him to play it immediately for two years.

In the news, Mike and Jeff talk about Nintendo remixing its NES classics. They also wonder if a Zelda randomizer or Super Wario Bros. 3 could come to Switch next. The crew also spends some time exasperated at people who think we’re getting new consoles in 2019.

You should join us and listen along.
