@hochstreck: Hey thank for reading my review. I played 50 hours of this game, and the motion controls never worked properly for me. Four other people have been playing it in the office and they had a similar experience.
I'm not saying the "gimmicky"--your words not mine-- motion controls aren't risky for a AAA game, I'm just saying they don't work well. Which is a small issue in an otherwise very positive review.
@csward: They aren't required. The gyroscope sensor can be used in handheld to aim and that works pretty well. If you'd rather not move anything apart from your fingers you can use the left control stick. Read my entire review please before you jump to conclusions! Thank you!
@nibbin1191: I appreciate the response. I can't really comment on The Lobby as I am not part of that team.
As far as Reboot goes, we are trying to avoid giving opinions the way people do in reviews. Rather than say what we like or don't like about a game, we are trying to take a look at the bigger picture and how it fits in.
We both have a lot to learn, and it's clear that we don't always hit that mark though. Even between us, there are episodes that we don't feel are as strong as we'd like them to be. We are gonna keep working on it though and hopefully one day you will enjoy it.
Game journalism is very important to both of us as well. And I totally understand your frustrations. So many people in this industry are so concerned with Twitter followers and fans they can forget what's important about this industry and why so many people care about it.
If you don't like Reboot, maybe try our Arkane series. This was headed up by Mike and it was a difficult production. You'll appreciate that most of it features the devs rather than Mike.

And thanks for watching Saddest Party on the Citadel!
@nibbin1191: Hey, Mike and I both work pretty hard on this show. We've seen you in the comments before and we get that you don't like it. That's fine, it's not for everyone and we love it when people disagree with our opinions so we can discuss it and make the show better.
But please don't insult us.
If you really don't like the show, no one is making you watch it. (At least I hope not)
@saturatedbutter: Yeah we are not denying that games have been doing this. PUBG just stood out for both of us because it let players create their own stories in a multiplayer game to a much greater degree. Games like Arma 3 and DayZ did this as well, but PUBG has blown up much more than those games
