It happened again… Elden Ring DLC trailer goes out a couple hours after ShillUp uploads. Classic.
The price is the ONLY reason I didn't get Skull & I Bones. It's not amazing, but I found it a lot of fun. Like digital candy.
I don't think it's worth $70. Maybe 30ish. Free would be better when it's live service, and overly monetized cosmetics.
I think if these were released on Fridays, you wouldn't miss as much news😂
Miyazaki and FromSoft saving Gaming once again by making not a sh@tty microscopic DLC but a proper PHAT C@CK massive and erect Expansion Pack!!!
Your preview of Pacific Drive really turned me off of that game. The hardcore, obtuse survival genre is just really not my thing. But it's been replaced by Outbound because that game looks delightful!
You missed more than a few things with the helldivers 2 drama. The 457k concurrent on steam is around half the players and leaves out the 300-600k on playstation. So that's over 1/2 a million people that paid for the product/service that can't use it. It's all fine and good to "tweet" out people should not buy it right now, but the right thing to do would have been to remove it from the stores before selling over a 1/2 a mil(They cheered about selling 1mil) since the servers had issues at 200k, but the greed won out and they just keep selling something that they do not have to offer, good thing everything is going digital since this could not happen if companies had to be ready for the amount of discs they were shipping…
Been here since the Laymen Gaming days.
I think that's enough to class me as a Skill Up fan, cool guy Shiller lol. Congrats on the impending 1m subs
3:58 No, because Halo and Gears are OWNED by Microsoft. Helldivers isn't OWNED by Sony, they only published. Bad comparison.
Dude Xbox dropped the ball so fucking hard and now Phil is cow towing. 🤦♂️
Lmao
It really feels like we’re heading towards triple a crash. We need more double a titles, investment in indies and smaller studios, and diversity of experiences.
The problem is trying to make a live service first and a game second.
Dropped the same times as Shadow of the Erdtree trailer lmao. Poor skill up
So sad to hear that Shillup contracted Ligma due to the timing of the Elden Ring DLC announcement.
1 like = 1 prayer 🙏
Shoutout to skill up for starting off making guides for a game we really liked to serving us reheated news we love you congrats for the soon to be 1 mil
Something that would make the switch 2 an instant purchase for me:
Full backwards compatibility with the switch and a retention of the docking feature.
If i have to drop my library of games in the move from switch 1 to 2 then i'm just gonna keep playing my old switch, but if its backwards compatible then its just paying for an upgrade!
Ubi must have paid you good to give more time talking bout your review no one wanted than the real story of helldivers 2. Plus dude HD2 review was missing so much that you would have done better…(he didn't even mention the intrusive anti cheat and I'm pretty sure the server issues)
Almost a million nerds =S
I'll be honest, the only Playstation game I am remotely interested in is Ghosts of Tsushima, and there's no way I would ever buy a console just to play it. I figure I will just play it when it comes to PC eventually.
What’s the point of a PS5 Pro? All we can play are ps4 titles
WE don't know you got that in one take. What with the magic of editing and all…
SkillUp's upload schedule will forever be cursed
Ok, Elden rings DLC dropped just now. Skillup has bad look with this things but all the rest of the content is totally worth it. Industry news, rumors, new indie games, keep doing this great job in games news!
When Xbox and Sony falter the PC benefits. <3 it
Why doesn't Sony take some of the destiny servers that are available and move their use to hell divers?
Let's be honest. All fridges are more powerful than a switch
Personally I got a Xbox for game pass not for the exclusives
The PS5 is a PS4 upscaler.
I really don't care for "pro" versions of consoles. It just seems like trying to sell me the same thing twice with a few upgraded parts.
Always happy to watch my weekly gaming news on company time at work 😎
An Ally Mcbeal reference….wanna know how I know you are old?
…but, all the love to O-ren Ishii!
Pc is the future always has been
After reading the comnents, I feel its important for me to point out that you missed the Elden Ring DLC
…someone has to say it.
Can’t play Helldivers, can’t play Pacific Drive, can’t play What the Golf, can’t play Forever Skies. Why the hell did I buy an Xbox lmao this is painful
Daddy Miazaku releasing the trailer 1 hour after the show… Perfecto… :))))
Dude, Avengers: Infinity War cost $316 Million to make and returned $2B. No way a game like Spiderman 2 is making that rate of return.
Man good thing that Nintendo direct wasn’t worth covering. Elden ring on the other hand…
Helldivers 2 is a beautiful success
i Tweeted at shillup without realizing they dont use that account anymore.
so, FF14 enters beta on Xbox today but square revealed you'll need an xbox gamepass account to play the full version FF14, making it the only platform needing an extra subscription just to play it, not even PS4/5 demands PSplus to play 14. this obvious unfairness is not being received well
Welp, now we cant wait for the next one… Lady Gaga on Fortnite next season.
Oh, yeah. And something to do with Elden Ring.
Sometimes the lack of research is just strange, Epic is giving away Super Meat Boy Forever next week, not Super Meat Boy AND they have only given Super Meat Boy away one single time, not four times, like he claimed.
I'm surprised you havent hit 1million subs a long time ago. Been following since you were a looter-shooter content creator.
You guys gotta change the day you drop these videos cuz you always miss the news by hours lol
would love to hop back and forth between pacific rim and outbound
If anyone does anything to try and stop this meme of Shill up missing big news, I will leave and never come back!
