Is "Splatoon Girl" supposed to be a shot at a characters personality because that doesn't make sense.

I think it's just cuz she looks a lot like one of the Persona characters (haven't met her yet, I only know what she looks like cuz of the trailers)

I have been off the GB bandwagon for a few weeks due to being busy. Is there any news on new hires or anything in the near future? San Francisco crew seems like they're having a bit of a rough time without Dan.

They are super close.

Firewatch talk.

They are super close.

I feel like they'll be super close for the next few months. No new hire till after E3.

Yakuza 6 is even more of a bummer after 0. So much is dialed back from the music to the fighting system and even the amount of content in the game. Sure looks prettier though and full VO is nice.

I've only played the demo of 6 but I imagine they dialed things back to make it more open. Yakuza 3 also felt like it suffered in part in the jump from PS2 to PS3. Haven't followed the reception for 6 to see if it's as weak as 3, though.

Down to the final 18-month stretch!

Brad really struggles at hosting without Jeff or another co-host.

"Super Close" in Giant Bomb hiring terms.
The listing is at least gone.

I don't necessarily blame it on GB, more on CBSi and the whole corporate America hiring process. Listing being pulled is good news at least things are nearing the end.

Will and no Jeff? Yeah I think ill pass on this one. 🤦

"And then they leave. The end."

 

[Curufinwe]

OST actually cuts out that part.

But amazon.jp.

Aww, that's the best bit.

On 8-4play John said that the robots chanting being used as part of the music only happened for the English version.

If anything, I'm willing to bet they had to pare stuff back because they redid the entire engine and all the assets, and didn't have the dev budget to include all the side stuff.

6 is definitely stronger than 3 though. and a lot stronger than Kiwami.

I'm looking forward to whatever they do after 6 with the new engine (and shifting away from Kiryu). the new engine, apart from lousy performance, is pretty great.

What could Remo possibly spoil, he's played two games in the last 5 years.

As long as it wasn't a Nier, Zelda, or P5 spoiler I think I'm good.

Raaaaad. I hope they play for more than 15 minutes though.

Apparently performance is better on the PS4 Pro, and runs at 1080p. Demo wasn't great on my base PS4.

I'm looking forward to Kiwami if only because it's been so long since playing the first. But I wouldn't be against a 2 remake in the new engine. 2, 4, and 0 have been my favorites.

The second movie was my first experience with the series and I questioned the reasons why anyone would like the series at the time. I get why people like the series now and know a ton of people who grew up with the books (like my younger brother), but I'm fine with only having minor knowledge of the series.

Used to be but I don't think anyone does them anymore.

Hasn't been for a while.

The movies are just OK. The books are great.

Also Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a bad movie but a decent video game. Open world Hogwarts!

 

[repeater]

No point in watching now, it being live can only mean that was indeed the run. Nice job spoiling it, Vinny. :/

I'm not going to buy a new ps4 for one game though.

it's a shame that it's so poor on the base console.

The audio books any good? That format works way better for my commute and time at work.

Guess there just wasn't as much interest as there used to be.

The only thing to spoil about Firewatch's ending is that there ain't much to the ending.

Man, looking at the mission list in MGSV makes me want to play the game even less. Do I really have to replay all this shit? Ugh.

At this point I'm tempted at just watching MGS Scanlon or something like that. I've put like 36 hours into this. I got my money's worth...

The UK ones are read by Stephen Fry so yes.

You don't need to play any of the Extreme missions. I skipped all that shit.

That's kinda sad... I hope their listener numbers are doing okay though. I still listen every week, but can't say I've been super excited when a new one came out... But I guess I haven't felt that way for several years now. Maybe new hires will help though!

That is how I experienced all of chapter 2.

I only know the German version by Rufus Beck and the English version read by Stephen Fry. Both are great. That, Gametrailers reviews and the 1up Podcast was how I learned English back then lol.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Added pressure of being live, Vinny is totally mindfucking Dan.

Also I have tomorrow off awww yiss.

 

[Death Metalist]

Thanks!! Pretty excited to watch/listen to this

Enjoy!

I think the reverence he has for MGS' story is crazy, but then again I thought the crazy illuminati bullshit in Assassins Creed 2 was amazing so what do I know.

Spoiler

It was fucking cool.

Yup, I dropped off the series all together after finishing 3. It's a shame because 1 and 2 story wise are very intriguing and interesting.
