The PS5 and Series X launch, Cyberpunk 2077, Halo Infinite being delayed, and Mixer were just a few of the video game disasters we reported on in the year 2020, but which one was the biggest?

All hands are on deck today to have a roundtable discussion about Inside Gaming’s favorite and least favorite video game disasters of the year. Of course, there are the usual suspects like covid related game delays and next-gen console shortages but you might be surprised to see the Oculus Quest 2 and The Last of Us 2 making special appearances.

Come hang out with us as we talk about the biggest video game trash fires of 2020, today on Inside Gaming Daily!

* Please note we are on break and this episode was recorded before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s wild to look back and see just how unsuspecting everyone was about the launch of the game and what would come to transpire. Anyways, thanks for watching, and let us know about your most notable gaming disasters in 2020 down below in the comments.

Does weed actually make you better at video games? While there haven’t been too many studies that correlate the use of marijuana with video games, a significant amount of research has been done on the substance in regards to traditional sports.

In today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily, we are diving into some of those cannabis-related studies to see if any of the findings suggest that weed actually makes you better at video games.

Hey, all. We are taking a temporary break from our weekly editorial Insight Gaming while we're on holiday break. In the meantime, please join us in celebrating the highlights from one of our favorite things we worked on this year… Big Muther@#$!’n Crab Truckers!

Crabtacular Dungeon Crab Patrick Brown is rounding up another Big Muther!@#$'n Crab adventure you don’t want to miss. Big Bitch Bertha (Autumn Farrell) has been separated from her original party and in an effort to reunite with them she finds two other crabs instead. Bidet Fromage (Blaine Gibson), and Billy “Baby Teeth” Brisco (Andrew Rosas) might be just the friends she needs to survive another haul down that ol’ Crustacean Road.

The Xbox Series X and the PS5 have finally arrived but there is something about the latest console generation that just feels a little bit different. Just how many exclusive titles are there?

Join Conor, Patrick, and Zach as they discuss exactly what defines a console exclusive and why there seem to be so few this time around. When the PS4 launched we got Killzone: Shadow Fall, Resogun, and Knack! Sure they weren’t all great but there’s is just something special about exclusives even if they are totally busted or bad.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Nintendo Switch launched with The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild and that’s probably one of the best games of the last decade! High or low, the potential for launch games to be memorable is incredibly strong and that’s what today’s video is all about…

So where exactly have all the next-gen exclusives gone?

* Please note, we know a lot of you were probably expecting a Weekend Roundup today but we are on holiday break, so the roundup is taking a two-week break. However, there will be a really fun roundup themed video next week. See you then.

It’s time to stop talking about Cyberpunk and PS5 shortages so we can finally address the only thing that matters in the games biz during the holidays. The best video game of the year... Well, actually this isn’t really that type of video cause we actually aren’t going to pick a GOTY.

Yeah, we kind of just sat down with everyone and had a really fun and chill conversation about our favorite video games that came out this year. Okay, well don’t get too sad about it because look - every single member of the Inside Gaming team is here!

The benefit of doing a roundtable discussion like this is instead of a curated list of the usual suspects you’re going to get to hear about all sorts of different games. Sure, AAA games like Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part II are still gonna get some time to shine but there are plenty of other games that got released this year that maybe deserve a little more time to shine. (*cough* HADES *cough*)

 Anyways, please enjoy this very special end of the year holiday edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

*Please note we are on break and this video was recorded both before Cyberpunk 2077 was released and before The Game Awards 2020. Be excellent to each other.

Let’s also not forget some of those older comfort games for chilling out like Minecraft or games on your phone that you might not have otherwise played.

Among Us! Fall Guys! Phasmophobia! All these great games have one thing in common. They were complete surprises for most of us in the year 2020. Today’s episode of Inside Gaming is all about celebrating our favorite surprise breakout hits of the year!

It started out with those loveable little jelly beans in Fall Guys jostling their way to that coveted crown. Then suddenly Among Us was everywhere and even being streamed by political officials. Lastly, Phasmophobia clips took over the internet as people recorded themselves being total chickens playing a video game. Shut up we’re not scared, you’re scared.

Even though this year has been packed full of pandemic-induced anxiety, political tension, and overly hyperbolic videogame discourse - it’s been nice to have these really wholesome video game surprises to take our minds off things for a bit. That’s why we’re celebrating them today, on Inside Gaming Daily!

The PS5 and the Xbox Series X were released a little over a month ago and the consoles wars will never ever die - so now it’s time to put them head to head and talk about which one had the better launch.

While the PS5’s offerings of a new controller experience, Miles Morales, and Demon’s Souls are quite alluring… the sheer quantity of games in the Xbox Series X backward compatible library combined with Game Pass is undeniably cool as well.

However, the Series X and the PS5 both had some hardware and software issues right out of the gate which certainly makes one reconsider trying to be an early adopter. 

Unfortunately, both the new Xbox and the new PlayStation are still incredibly tough to buy, so there hasn’t been any progress made on that front… but when you really stack them up which console had the smoother launch?

Honestly, it’s hard to say but that’s what this whole video is about! So tune in to today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

*Please note we are currently on break and this video was recorded before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Be excellent to each other.

Dungeon Crab Master Patrick Brown returns to guide the Inside Gaming Crew through another crustaceous muther!@#$'n Crab Truckers adventure.

Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t the only game to be removed from a storefront this week. Good Old Games, a subsidiary wholly owned by CD Projekt Red, recently pulled down a game called Devotion from their online store.

This was the Chinese-made game that was previously featured in headlines before because it featured a Winnie the Pooh meme of the Chinese President, Xi Jinping and that caused a primarily Chinese audience to review bomb the game in efforts to get it delisted.

Also as a result, the Chinese publisher of the game, Indievent, lost its business license from the Chinese Government, supposedly due to the incident. The current assumption is that GoG or CDPR faced pressure from either an angry fanbase or the Chinese government and removed the game from GoG.com.

If true, it’s a terrible look for CDPR who obviously has their own issues, and for GoG who previously has had a reputation for being rebellious and gamer-friendly. Saving face to save some sales when it comes to an artistic medium feels particularly scummy.

In addition to our headlining story today - were also covering Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s experience boosters, Among Us coming to Switch, an Interview with Nintendo’s Doug Bowser, and Henry Cavil hurt his leg while filming season two of The Witcher.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been delisted from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft has officially confirmed it will provide refunds to anyone who purchased the game, and CD Projekt Red has said they will refund retail copies of the game at their own expense.

The onslaught of Cyberpunk 2077 drama continues to pour in and Sony removing the game from the PlayStation Store is something that will go down in a blaze of video game history infamy. Some versions of the game are running just fine but there’s been a massive amount of threads and personal anecdotes about Cyberpunk underperforming and crashing on the PS4 and PS5.

It’s not a great look for Sony or their newest piece of kit in the PS5 and their track record for customer support and returns hasn’t been great in the past so it’s safe to say CDPR might have earned a little bit of eyre for their latest antics.

Our hearts go out to the developers caught up in this, working rigorously trying to make things right when they were probably already crunched to get things done in the first place. Hopefully, the game gets fixed and returns to the PlayStation Store EVENTUALLY but not at the human cost it would take to accomplish such a feat over the break. Good luck to everyone affected, devs and players a like and we’ll see you in the comments.

Thanks for watching Inside Gaming Daily.

Twitch has recently updated its terms of service and one change people seemed to have noticed right away is that the contextual use of the words ‘simp,’ ‘incel,’ and ‘virgin’ will not be permitted on the platform.

There’s been a long history of Twitch and it’s off & on approach to their terms of service as well as the enforcement of it so people haven’t missed the opportunity to take the company over its selection of these words specifically. 

To make matters worse people are still upset about the massive removal of Twitch vods due to a sudden update in regards to Twitch’s approach to licensed music. Thousands of videos were issued DMCA claims and promptly removed. This might have been a good opportunity to address those issues as well.

In the past Twitch hasn’t been the best about responding to claims of sexual harassment within its community so its nice to see them finally trying to tackle the issue but it’s probably going to take a lot more than a few banned words.

We’re hoping for the best on today’s edition of Inside Gaming but between the DMCA issues, the nature of harassment on the internet, and Twitch’s relationship with the military this past year we aren’t holding our breath for any immediate changes.

Cyberpunk 2077 is still on fire and today we’re digging a little more into the shady nature of the game’s release and the impact it might have on CDPR going forward.

We’re also talking about winners from The Game Awards… weirdly we didn’t have much to say about any of the world exclusives? ( Probably because Brian’s computer exploded but you can catch the daily episode about it anyway I guess). 

Lastly, we tackle Twitch’s latest update to their terms of service and its target, contextualized use of the words ‘simp’, ‘incel’, and ‘virgin’.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X have been incredibly hard to purchase since they launched in mid-November and that’s largely due to an overwhelming presence of bot equipped scalpers. We’ll, the United Nations has finally said enough is enough!

After multiple reports of thousands of PS5’s and Xbox Series X consoles being scooped up by scalpers and presumably millions of dollars being made in cold hard cash, UK politicians are motioning to address the issue of scalping altogether.

The general idea is that a new law would ultimately be passed to outlaw scalping. While that’s pretty cool any type of legislature takes a long time to process and they will have to define the difference between acceptable and unacceptable parameters for resellers of all types of products.

That means there still probably isn’t any hope for those of us without PS5’s and Xbox Series X consoles, scoring one in the near future... but don’t worry about that now! Were imagining a better future on today's episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

Cyberpunk 2077 continues to have a tumultuous launch window as noted by fan backlash, an apology from the developers, and a daily discourse around the game’s quality that has the industry in an uproar. 

CD Projekt Red had an emergency investor meeting this week assumingly to smooth out some of the launch wrinkles the company has been dealing with ever since Cyberpunk 2077 launched last week.

While PC gaming rigs and the Xbox Series X continue to run Cyberpunk fairly well there are still a number of issues with the game which CDPR is hoping to address. Of course, last-gen consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One have seen a “hotfix” since launch but according to CDPR there is still a lot of work to be done for Cyberpunk to reach what fans might consider an acceptable bar of quality.

The uproar from the games community and the issues present have lead to some reviewers reducing the games review score and aggregate sites are even posting warnings about the disparity between the different versions of Cyberpunk 2077.

It’s a lot… but don’t worry. On today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily we’re going to recap and catch you up with everything going on with Cyberpunk 2077.

The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride packed with bugs, deceit, and upset customers. Earlier yesterday CD Projekt Red issued an apology and is offering help with refunds.

PC, Series X, and PS5 owners of Cyberpunk have all reported a number of bugs and performance issues but despite those issues and all the troubles with the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game - Cyberpunk 2077 has sold millions of copies and is breaking records for singleplayer game views on Twitch.

It’s safe to say people are fairly upset even if there is a good game under all the issues. To complicate things, CD Projekt Red knowingly shipped versions of Cyberpunk 2077 that were below an average bar of quality.

Everything leading up to this point certainly makes CD Projekt Red’s apology and gesture towards refunds ring a little bit hollow - but what do you think? Let us know in the comments below, on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Every version of Cyberpunk 2077 is on fire but what seems like this launch catastrophe might be the perfect opportunity for Stadia to prove to the world just what it can do.

With Cyberpunk 2077 being incredibly broken on the PS4 & Xbox One and PS5 & Series X consoles being incredibly impossible to buy - many console gamers might turn to Stadia in their time of need.

While Stadia is providing hope for Cyberpunk 2077 fans, things are continuing to look grim for GameStop which closed almost 800 stores over the last two years. Destiny 2 crossplay might be coming next year, EA might block FIFA Ultimate Team in some countries due to ‘loot boxes’, and a Take-Two CEO says games will be “photorealistic” in about 10 years.

Make sure to tune into our very exclusive and prestigious 5-Second Review of Cyberpunk 2077 and we got a list of new releases for you to check out. Have a great weekend everyone!

The Game Awards has come a long way since the days of Spike TV and despite how you feel about The Last of Us Part II, this year’s event certainly wasn’t lacking in the game reveals department.

Sure there are criticisms about how much time is spent on awards and celebrating developers versus the amount of time spent hyping up the WORLD EXCLUSIVES… but did you see that new Mass Effect trailer?

In a year where we had to forgo events like E3 and PAX, The Game Awards actually brought some of that big stage magic back to 2020. Oh, you were too busy to catch it all? Don’t even worry about it we have got all the highlights right here on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!
