Shelby's character transformation arc over the years from a backseat gamer being annoyed to a cynical jaded gamer herself is something that really rivals The Godfather
Well I think most of the text is written by him and she is mostly just reading it, at least when it comes to these "long time gamer" segments.
Michael Corleone took 30 years. Shelby took 3.
I think Shelby's got the Godfather beat.
I agree
She used to be that backseat gamer everyone can relate to but now she's turned into a gamer we all understand and can relate to.
u guys still think women actually play videogames? oof
Shelby, 2 years ago: VIDEO GAMES ARE ART YOU FOOLS!!
Shelby, now: Wow these video game companies sure are the worst, aren’t they?
It’s nice that you’re one of us now, Shelby
Most gamers have been preaching that game companies are liberal cesspools of abuse and decadence for ages. You just called us nazi incels for it.
The sad thing is, that both is correct.
We already pass another "golden age" of gaming. While there are still good games, triple A gaming is on downward slope now
@@hafirenggayuda yeah right.
The most fun i had in recent years was with AA games like greedfall or terminator resistance(and of course an occasional nintendo title).
I wish I had realized, while living through the 90s and 00s, that I was in a golden age of gaming. Actually, no, because I would have spent even more time playing them.
Shelby has become one of us some time ago already but now she has shown there is no turning back. She has fallen to the darkness of gaming cynicism completely.
Which is regrettable, really.
@@galev3955 yeah. we alreday have enough cynics.
People only watch so they can jerk to her voice.
@@galev3955 yea she should just kiss AAA ass like a good little consumer so these shitty companies never feel any reason to improve
We've won, but at what cost?
Honestly I feel like one underutilized thing about overwatch is it’s story. They don’t really expand beyond shorts and comics. Would love to have an arcane like series on the shamada clan or how overwatch fell apart
Heck even an actual theatrical movie release would’ve sufficed during its prime years.
They were originally planning to expand, hence the sequel. If you look at their 2021 presentation they showed a lot of promising stuff...
But years of neglect and a dying and disappointed fanbase (plus the sexpest elephant in the room) forced their hand to give us the 'most rewarding' OW experience ever, but they actually took more stuff away than they added.
I would have loved to see their original vision for the sequel (which I say is still a glorified expansion that players of the first game were owed) but I guess the first game is dead and we're stuck with this glorified update instead.
I remember some fans got angry at Blizzard for moving the plot forward. I forgot the exact words but it was basically "wahh you're ruining my fan theories and shipping by creating new official lore" so Blizzard kind of stopped.
I mean look what Edgerunners did to Cyberpunks reputation. People could probably come around to Blizzard if they made a good enough Anime/show
"It's story"...... there is no storybat all in the game. What is the explanation for these heroes and villains fighting with and against eachkther and themselves? Not to mention the respawning.
The fact that even Shelby hates Blizzard now is so good. Also your pets are adorable. Your kitty not wanting the food just love and rubbing against the food warmed my icy cold bitter gamer heart.
I love them 🥰
@@GirlfriendReviews Blizzard? 🤔
That turn-around happend quick.
I agree!! Ahh it was so cute!
Shelby's absolute delight in the trombone song is infectious.
I was practically laughing with her 😭😂
“Man I’m looking forward to playing Overwatch 2 someday with a whole new roster of characters and maps” - Me in 2016 - 2017ish
Yes, and it’s not done yet. They are still working on the game that was originally announced as OW2. They changed directions less than 2 years ago to get this PVP revamp to market ASAP instead. The full OW2 will be out in the next year or two.
As someone who never played Overwatch I’m kinda glad this game went this way, now I get to play it for free. It would be cool if they make a sequel someday.

Yeah, it's an insanely fun game and I have no temptation to spend any money on it whatsoever. Big W for me, the funny part is the people complaining loudest are the ones paying for me to play.
@@fashnek not like it’s your fault, and you couldn’t have known but… this aged so poorly lol. Turns out the entire game was really just adding a battlepass.
@@Actual_Malice What I said was correct. It still is correct -- that is indeed what Blizzard was doing at the time and prior, and it did explain the state of the game.
Yes, things change. Change doesn't rewrite the past.
@@fashnekoverwatch 2 is trash and 5v5 is dumb and they insane microtransactions are homosexual
The pure joy at 4:00 is absolutely heartwarming!
Love the video as always!
Shelby losing it during her rendition of Skip to My Lou may have been the hardest I've LOL'd with this channel. It was even better watching it in real time 🤣🤣🤣
An hour of watching these two play Trombone Champ would be the best hour of the week.
Who is editing these masterpieces? Give that person a raise. Also lol at "after one and a half matches" and the Kotick speech.
Matt does the editing
@@BreadsackHeads : Well then obviously Matt should give himself a raise.
Salty Shelby. Her transformation into gamer is complete.
Long have we awaited.
I don’t think anyone hits the video game review into a food tutorial better than you guys
We need a full trombone hero video
Would watch just to hear Shelby squeal with laughter. She's a keeper, Matt!
Ahah I think he knows it already and that's why he married her! :P
I don't dislike anything you guys make, but when you come in with a bite to take out of something, it's amazing. Poetry.
Love how in the thumbnail Tracers butt is more pronounced in the official artwork than on the body pillow
Ow2 buffed their butts for some reason
@@rawrdino7046 "some reason"
Trombone Hero is Shelby's Gene Parmesan. Same reaction as Lucille Bluth. RIP to the queen.
4:28 Oh nice my tea is ready
The tenaciously Tenacious D reference had me howling!
I think there are a lot of changes in OW2. But after all the delays and scandals, the game really needed something special to win back fans. Unfortunately it launched with less new heroes than initially promised and the PVE is nowhere to be seen. The game is still fun, even more fun now in 5v5. But there isn’t enough new content here to get most people excited.
25 million players the first week
I think there WERE a lot of changes and planning that they did in these 2 yrs, but, for some reason, it's no where to be found?
Some got through, but portion of it.
And I think they also kept on listening to the wrong commenters/bad feedbacks that some of the changes made it bad..
.. in my opinion, the fact that it REALLY looks like they've done close to nothing or implement some huge changes, I think it would've been understandable if they introduced a whole different game...
At least you can see and feel like they've done "something" XD
@@etopihpih2234 They’ve been developing the story mode that comes out next year. For the multiplayer they’re releasing a new hero or map every 9 weeks with each new season.
@@djr3385 Give it 2 months.
@@viczampino nah they had years
How dare you forget about the masterpiece that is Diablo 2! lol
Yeah and Warcraft 2 was also pretty great, but that could just be my nostalgia talking!
I don't know if anyone will be with me on this, but playing OW2 (I didn't play the first one) just made me realize how much I liked Paladins and its versatility with all the different champions' unique abilities, loadouts, talents, etc. OW just feels very bare-bones and straight to the point, while Paladins allows players to customize champs according to your playstyle. Unfortunately, HiRez stopped caring about the growth of the game a long time ago and they are just satisfied with the remaining players, I'd love if they tried to re-release the game or something like they did with OW. My point is that 2 is okay but it kinda makes me feel sad thinking about Paladins lol
One kf my favorite GF Reviews memories was my wife and I lucking into playing with them during some custom viewer games they did.
This is the kind of high quality content I love to see. I don't care if you guys put out 3 videos a year. The wait is always worth it. Also Shelby laughing during the first trombone bit had me dying 🤣
"We're sitting in line to play a video game" -- cue flashbacks to Final Fantasy XIV's servers last year
@@li_celly The Overwatch Dev team literally apologized and is giving away some free stuff to all players
Shelby's frantic laughter is such a vibe, you guys are the best!
The it’s always sunny clip was perfect 😂 love it. I’m honestly surprised that clip isn’t used more it’s so good
I genuinely feel bad. Not for the CEO of Blizzard, but for Dr Robotnik having his name even slightly associated with that.
That recorder rendition of My Heart Will Go On is majestic.
watching blizzard fall on its face is becoming a new time honored tradition.
Edit: yes I am laughing at anyone who plays over watch still. You are so much funnier than you are anything else.
Edit edit: I love when consuuumers tell me that I do what I’m told.
25 million players in its first weeks. Too soon to celebrate any fall, if you ask me.
@@NJoint I celebrate all of you loyal consumers and the value of your purchasing power going down the drain
@@peakedmalefeminist9782 Concerning yourself with what other people buy and enjoy. Amazing.
@@sneezydeezymcdeluxe7015 delicious buyers remorse tears
@@peakedmalefeminist9782 That's strange, pretty sure the game was completely free.
I remember feeling a bit of excitement for OW2 during it's development, like didn't it have a talent system or something like in League of Legends?
That's the PVE, which wasn't here on release
It comes out next year though
that's what I'm mostly excited for. although I'm unsure whether that will be free to play or not
@@mikez4388 It won't. The PvE is the actual sequel to Overwatch (this is just the coinciding multiplayer update) so it'll have a AAA price
@@thatgwenpoolguy5409 Make sense. It would make more sense to release both the PVE and PVP. Sure, it would release until 2023, but it would be alot more cohesive, instead of getting one half of a game that's relatively the same
U guys really do make the most entertaining reviews on youtube! Good shit.
What's wild about this one is that there's like a minute of game footage
yeah tbh this is a review of blizzards shitty management not even the game itself
The dude hitting the propeller on the way down is my favorite character in Titanic.
did she just say “Rule 34” 😂😭
I missed this stream, so after watching this video I made sure to come back to the VOD and watch the whole 15min of trombone hero!! that was hilarious
This whole video is just dripping with cleverness, and especially the core theme around the "2," and it's appreciated. "Making twos that don't stink," "Overwatch, too." 👏👏👏
You don't understand how much the random Tenacious D references make me love this channel
That spongebob reference was on point. Hahah love it.
So instead of adding 8-12 new heroes, multiple new game modes, a bunch of new maps, and a story mode for every hero plus coop campaigns, what we instead got is 3 new heroes, 6 new maps, a game mode, and they broke the game. **insert John Oliver cool meme here** BuT iT's JuSt EaRlY aCcEsS ReEeEeEeE
all of this stuff should take a backseat to the way the ruined tanks and dps characters. they ruined a bunch of characters and made shitty characters like sombra even better.
So an update? They released an update
@@mattmaas5790 bro you’re tripping, almost every character feels better to play in this game. Other then doomfist, they completely murdered him, but he was my least favorite character and always felt very anti fun to me so I’m glad they changed him, albeit all his mains probably hate it
@@declanmcsherry9368 they did ruin doomfist, but they even ruined some characters that didn't get changed much just by making certain characters REALLY good, some characters just get clowned on no matter what. Also super tanks are overpowered. Almost all of them are better DPS than the actual DPS.
@@mattmaas5790 bro what are you smoking everyone is 10 times more fun to play except doomfist but doomfist was annoying af to play against in overwatch 1 because he just chain stunned you, so i guess it's a compromise
I've been pretty bummed because of G4 shutting down, some back pain, the back pain reminding me I'm getting old, and the existential dread that comes with that. I needed this laugh. Thanks :)
I love this cynical yet fun humor you have here. Managing to feel like biting satire without feeling overly depressing.
As someone who never played OW when it came out in 2016, playing OW now that its come out in 2022 is a lot of fun.
Jeff knew about all the shit they pulled from the start, don't pretend like he's innocent
to be fair, anyone who would accept a diversity hire position and purposefully subject themselves to work in an environment where its 100% men who don't want to step out into the sun and spend all day staring at a computer screen creating illusionary worlds to get away from the real one, is asking for it.
Even if it wasn't nerdy programmers, take any environment of say, just 10 men, working, and they'll get along fine, they'll be productive, and create a quality product. Throw one woman in there and all of a sudden all hell breaks loose as the hierarchy changes from one of company deadlines to a deadline of who gets to bang her first. Anyone can sit there and argue over how ridiculous they think it sounds, but, it's just the reality of life everywhere and in almost all species on the planet.
L, please cherish this forever. never let go, never forget.
The good thing is, while I was waiting to queue up for a match in a long line of 4,000, I decided to take my happy ass back to Splatsville.
For those who don't know, that's where Splatoon 3 takes place.
Splatoon 3: what Overwatch 2 SHOULD'VE been taking cues from
my understanding is that Activision-Blizzard essentially came up to the overwatch team and said "make a sequel" to which they responded "we already have a working, updatable game, why not just work on that?" which Activision didn't like, so the team agreed to make a sequel and just updated overwatch 1 anyway
That’s not at all what happened. The plans for OW2 were large and long and they had to change less than 2 years ago. What has been released so far is only a part of the full plan.
As someone who didn’t play OW1 I’ve been having a ton of fun with OW2, I can definitely see tho why some fans are disappointed.
The one thing I can say in defense of it being different is that 5V5 is so much better than 6V6, having two tanks looked awful to deal with and from what I heard it was basically a stalling game until people had their ultimates
Personally, I liked all the changes. The tank is actually tanky. The TTK is way higher. Less shields. Less CC abilities. Ultimates are less important and not "press to win" anymore.
Enough changes to merit the "2" without alienating the core audience. The only thing that I didn't like is the battle pass. They took away the gambling aspect of it and turned it into something that is sure, but way more expensive and time consuming. Horrible launch, but the gameplay is solid. I wished they launched it along side the pve. I guess they needed the money already
@@firzt0 I agree with almost everything you said, but honestly I’m happy they launched it now, if I had to go another(who knows how many) months playing overwatch 1 before the pve was ready I think I would’ve given up. The game was on its last legs and I feel like it was the right decision to release pvp as soon as it was done.
I personally disagree. The great thing about two tanks was, well two tanks. You could bring one to flank, and one to help you defend the main push, which helped mobility, and gave more reason to use flank routes and the like. I've found that with one tank, it's now much harder to push out of spawn, and it's become a bit more steamrolly. Who knows, they might fix it with a patch, but I feel super underwhelmed. I feel like instead of buffing characters, they made all the good ones go down by a tier, and while it's balanced, it makes all the characters play slower and more sluggish.
Also, it allowed for more player independence. Overwatch requires a lot of teamwork to be effective, something very hard to do with strangers, so a bit of independence helped. I feel like if there were still two tanks, having a tank Doomfist wouldn't suck as much, because he could still have another tank to actually tank. I feel more forced than ever to play as a shielder tank, like Rein, which kinda sucks cause I used to main Roadhog.
@@firzt0 I don't think it does quite enough to deserve the sequel qualification. With the PvE? Maybe. But as it stands, it feels like I'm playing the same game. I mean, at least give us more new maps. Who knows though, I could just be looking at overwatch one with rose-tinted glasses.
@@DeepFriedFrenz112 it plays totally different to me. Big enough change to be called a sequel imo. You 100% need to change your playstyle on ow2. Definitely a bigger change than other games (like lets say counter strike 1.x to csgo). There's only so much you can change before it's not overwatch anymore. I really don't get that criticsm. It so subjective, nobody agrees what qualifies as a sequel, and i hate it
best Dunkey video yet
Man, it's been such a fun ride to watch this channel for so long. I can't believe it went from "this hilariously annoying zelda sound" to here. Also this video has a more chaotic vibe to it and I love it!
I can't believe you actually got me through all that.
Started out as an "I'll just run 4 seconds of it and watch it later" and, before I knew it, 7 minutes and 41 seconds of my life were gone.
Yeah Kiriko was fun, if only she was in a sequel.
Sometimes I’m glad I am a dirty console only player whenever possible and I don’t have the love affair others have for blizzard and I’ve not had to process being a fan of the previous regime’s output and having to stomach all the crap they’ve done to employees over the years being brought to light.
I love the Trombone Champ publicity. I haven’t laughed harder watching let’s plays in months.
Former WoW player, here. The ship really started to sink in around 2008, believe it or not. The Arena during TBC was the earliest sign.
OW and OW2 really have very little to do with your WoW experience. That’s silly.
@@fashnek Do you enjoy it when other people summarily dismiss your perspectives or experience?
OK, you’re right, you played a different game long ago and had a bad time, therefore you can summarily dismiss a new game that you’ve probably never played and that Matt/Shelby played less than 10 hours right at launch.
genuinely great script, voiceover, humor, editing, opinion, and execution. well done.
OW2 coulda been just one giant addition to what was there and for the most part people wouldn't have had too big a problem
And then they had to go and happily slam that self destruct button on themselves
Y’all rock. Thank you for keeping the vid family friendly. :)
3:38 It's funny, because when I updated overwatch 1, on my switch, it literally changed into Overwatch 2, so I can't help but wonder if it's the same game, but with a slight amount of new features.
Uhhhh Diablo 2 and 3 were incredible sequels and Warcraft 3 was one of the most popular games of all and it spawned arguably THE most popular games of all time…DOTA and League…
While I’m all for hating blizzard, saying they don’t make good sequels is about as far from the truth as can be.
StarCraft 2 came out after Diablo 2. By like a decade. And I think Diablo 3 had a lot of problems at launch.
Da king and queen is back baby they neva miss
Lmao, when you said “waiting in line to play a video game” i had a flashback to The Division 2’s launch where people ACTUALLY STOOD IN LINE to talk to an npc to start the game.
i also started playing diablo 2 this week, there's something about it that just works so well
I had no interest at all in this game, but immediately clicked to see this review. Awesome, as always!
Came for the review, stayed for the surprise Keilbasa
not even a review they played for less than 30 mins
I love how the dogs just take the green beans but the cat only sniffles on it xD
Shelby’s scream laughing reminded me so much of Jenna Marbles laugh.
I miss Jenna Marbles so much, I hope she is doing alright
I can say with all certainty, I never understood why over watch was so well liked.
I’m going to take a stab in the dark and suggest that it might have been the r34 👀
It did something farily new/rare and that with the typical Blizzard polish, there simply was/is no game like OW not even Team Fortress.
It's genuinely a fun game, if you look past the hate boner people have for blizzard
As a guy who dropped off Overwatch pretty early and has stuck to TF2 ever since, it’s been pretty funny to see all this stuff happen from the outside.
I still remember they once did a racing game where you could shoot at the other cars. fun times.
1:31 i need the source for that r34 widow maker pic for "research"
I love Shelby's leaking balloon laugh and Matt's literal tee-hee-hee laugh. Too cute.
The Hello Fresh section was the best part. I need to cleanse my palate by going back and re-watching their old stuff.
2:24 Was that a Hobbit reference? Lmao
always love your reviews :D haven't touched this game since the first one came out and i think it stays that way x)
Please tell me there is a Trombone Hero video coming with Shelby laughing hysterically in the background.
Nice use of the Always Sunny memes today! Also, love the Hello Fresh sponsorship. ☺
I CACKLED at the titanic recorder. Also bonus points for "mishigas". ❤
That little Tenacious D bit was goshdarn LEGENDARY.
@6:00 This is one of the best Space Ghost quotes ever.
I didn't expect a solid Tenacious D reference, but I'm glad I got one.
That tenacious D reference was perfect!
You forgot to talk about the abusive battlepass and challenge system replacing lootboxes, the fact that it would take about 315 years to unlock every non-seasonal skins by just grinding the challenges to get ingame currency (this number is not a joke btw) and that they've been working on "overwatch 2" for 3 years, as well as the pve being delayed to 2023.... blizzard moment i know but you missed thoses fair points in the vid x)
“Which one” 😂 “we need to know where the outrageous is being shared “ 😂😅
Are you guys going to do a review of Sunbreak? I loved your world iceborne and rise reviews. You're the people that got me into MH
my body was not prepared for the kielbasa reference
I haven't played the first overwatch in a while and I genuinely would not know the footage of OW2 was a "new" game if it was showed to me without context
Shelby over here channelling her inner GIR. I'm all for it.
the body pillow on the titanic is absolute GOLD
5:26 I never notized the Barbarian grinding the axe in such a moronique way .... he is just one slip away from opening his arteries
this is your best video yet lmao
shoutout shelby for leaving the dva source in the image 👀
Every tenacious D edit makes me love you guys a little more.
The cat know you kept the burger for yourself.
What I'm taking away from this is the absolute joy of Trombone Champ lol
Lmao why did I think Jeff Kaplin's name was Jeff Watch
I like the little episode of You Suck At Cooking at the end
Looks like Shelby was high during the trombone segments
I think Shelby wants to watch Titanic this weekend. I dunno, I'm picking up a vibe.
I can't find that Liveleak audio anywhere. Does anyone know what they're talking about?
