w shirt bro
I love watching Jonathan try to bring some logic to otherwise illogical nonsense weapons. His smirk as he justifies an action is always great.
Not going to lie, Junkrat’s grenade launcher reminds me a lot of a handheld pitching machine for baseball or softball.
PLEASE DO VALORANT :))
All these guns but hanzo comes with bow and arrow, still has more dps than gun players
i never noticed junkrats gun has a tire spinning to fling the projectiles
I’d love to see him reacting to some weapons from deep rock galactic
Oh look, he even talks about MCCREES gun!
We need to know if Jonathan thinks junker queen is a mommy or not
Why use the OW2 defaults for all the heroes EXCEPT for soldier where they’re using a 6 year old legendary skin made specifically to look gritty and realistic that looks nothing like the default?
13:36 excuse me but how does roadhog deals such damage at such range
Should do one for nostalgia purposes. Time Splitters 😛 have a good selection of real and futuristic guns
A Borderlands review would be highly entertaining
Titanfall would be interesting to see here.
9:00 it reminds me of a pitching machine used in baseball.
Can you get a banker to react to the games microtransaction prices please
I got 400 hours game time and i never noticed that Junker queens Magazine rotates 😂
darktide please!
Imagine if he saw Zenyattas orbs💀
ghost shirt???
Why didn’t you do the most icon guns in Overwatch… Tracer’s pulse pistols.
He has a ghost t shirt. New favourite person
having him check out weapons from ultrakill would be pretty cool
Very impressed with how many real world implications this guy was able to talk about, considering Overwatch has some of the goofiest and impractical weapons of any game.
Valorant please
wow no soujorn tracer lucio winston mei mercy diva torbjorn hammond orisa bastion
This was really cool but it would have been also dope if he looked at ashes guns too. Still cool doe ❤
I’d live to see a video like this but the guy actually shoots the guns he’s showing and the room he’s in slowly becomes a disaster (the table is broken i half, chunks of the walls are missing etc.)
The level or Respect to Mr.Ferguson for me wouldn’t allow me to even THINK to bring that game to consideration. Blizzards…
look at basions guns
I love that he listens to ghost
He should talk about Pavlov shack
"Science fiction fantasy" those are different things😩 One is future and technology, the other is past and magic. Just because they’re both made up, doesn’t make it the same. All fiction is fictional but the setting can be drastically different😤
Very unrelated but what’s that crosshair for Baptiste it looks really good
fun fact: one of Cassidy’s abilities is called "fan the hammer", so it’s funny he brings that up about his weapon.
Ay bro has a Ghost shirt on, Jonathan 🤘🤘
So when looking at Ana’s gun he mentioned that the electric triggers are imprecise due to the feedback of an electrical button. Would Haptic feedback be able to bridge that gap? I know the tech isn’t the same, but I can’t help but think of the design of the PS5 remote and the adaptive triggers.
Man it bothers me that these Guns almost ALL have Skins slapped on them
The wire on Sombra’s gun might be connected to her ability to deal greater damage to enemies she has hacked. Not sure how it would work functionally… but that’s my assumption
hey should look at enlisted its a ww2 online fps with 6 campaigns focusing on different battles with lots of classic weapons and would love to hear your thoughts about them I’m sure you will find something you haven’t covered yet love the content and cant wait to see more
1:59 Ana’s Biotic Rifle has a kind of VSS / Steyr Scout splice thing going on imo
mwhahaha ghost shirt mwahahaha
I really appreciate Jonathan looking at weird / goofy guns over realistic ones, and trying to understand how / if they could work, and what the designers could have been drawing from. Always excellent insight.
As far as goofy guns go, oughta take a look at Deep Rock Galactic. Those run the gambit from fairly reasonable to outright absurd
he shouldve done echo, zenyatta and kiriko
Digging the Ghost shirt!
When will he analyze Ratchet & Clank weapons??? I want to see Jonathan show off his real life RYNO & call out Insomniac Games fir getting the weapon wrong XD!
1:57 definitely looks like it is based on a jezail to me.
Why are they using skins and not the original weapon.
Junkrat using a gun based on a toy makes sense
Remember: Pulling a gun out of thin air is always faster than reloading
