@fedor: Not really, Damiani is a Nintendo fanboy though he is pretty objective when it comes to reviews. All other allies tend much more to Sony and just love to talk shit about the Xbox. It's funny, because they do try not to but they just can't stop themselves.
The thing is that Easy Allies has a fanboy culture, not specifically towards any brand. You just know Ian is going to orgasm over anything From Software, Kyle Naughty Dog, etc. Brandon gave a 10/10 to RDR2 and when he talked about the game on the podcadt he even knew less about the game than other Allies. Huber will just call any game the best game ever, but can tune down that constant hype fever dream for reviews.
They just have a very poor editorial culture. As they have said, they choose who's gonna review a game based on who's more hyped for a game. You can literally guess their scores even before pressing play.
But that weakness is also their strength, I like how jolly they are and am OK with it. It's just a bunch of gamers having fun. Last gen they were very generous to Xbox because they were part of the hype. They're like the least professional professionals and I appreciate them for being genuine. And it's not like they're toxic (Ian was but now he's OK).
