Jonny decided to join us to discuss LEGO City Undercover this week. While a guest is always nice, sometimes it comes with unforeseen costs...namely some lost audio in the first segment. Please Understand.
Jon kicks off New Business with some more thoughts on Nintendo Switch, and the announced January Switch event. Greg considers a return to Pokemon, with a look at the Sun and Moon demo. He also acquired an original copy of Thunder Force III, just in time for Sega to announce its addition to Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3. Guillaume is looking to engage in more random acts of violence, so he tries out RetroActive alumnus River City Ransom. Jonny goes on an adventure with Dragon Quest VII; we don't spend a lot of time on it - it's Dragon Quest. James closes out New Business with thoughts on bloody adventure game Corpse Party; he is struggling, to say the least.
After the break, it's time for our RetroActive for LEGO City Undercover! We talk about the humor, the gameplay, the style, and...

Also, I'm... not going to blame you on River City Ransom, Gui. :P:

Sorry if this is a spoiler, but wow! The LEGO City Undercover discussion felt so incredibly negative.
Not going to argue with the criticism: it's warranted, and any points I might disagree with are either subjective or require you to get far enough into the game to unlock different features or abilities.
In the end, I just enjoyed what the game did offer enough to overlook the flaws. For me, the humor and production values were consistently strong enough to justify our time with the game - of course, as a parent with two young kids that might change my perspective. It also helps that I tend to compare it against other LEGO (and other family-friendly) games instead of general open world games that might have a different focus.
Shame that you guys had to spend so much time slogging through a game that you (mostly) didn't enjoy.
