1up Yours- October 26, 2007

did anyone catch that Penny Arcade bash by Garnet? The hellgate guy said "Penny-arcade had a hilarious comic" and Garnet responded "thats a first"

Whats ironic about this is that the only thing that makes garnet funny is how unfunny he is. Listening to the silence after his jokes is gold

No, what makes him funny is that, and how much of a sloppy poorly spoken rambling drunk he is.

Also, he can bash PA all he wants, but they're far better at the "lulz" than he ever will be.
 
I like Bill Roper.
Milky didn't talk slow like I remember him doing the last time he was on 1UPY.
What happened to the old music???
 
So let me get this straight about Hellgate: It's massively online for free, but paying gets you access to better stuff?

Also, the new music is boo-worthy.
 
I'm only through the first segment, but very good so far. Surprised though that Milky thought Fable didn't look very good. I was pretty LTTP on that as well, and really liked the visuals. Plus the music in Fable was fantastic.
 
Damn

Now I really want Hellgate. I wonder if my PC can run it.

I also wonder if it's coming out in Japon.

Mielke(no offense) brings the energy level of the podcast wayyyyyyyyyyy dowwwwwwwwwn.
 
Too bad Roper's part about the WoW production cycle was so short. I'd like to know more about behind the biggest MMO ever.

So true, however he was a little better this time than last time.
 
Why do they even bother with those ads at the beginning of the podcast? It sounded like the guy was going to fall asleep while reading the timeshift ad. At least SOUND excited about the game, haha.

Anyways, listening now.
 
Roper is such an awesome guest, even after playing the demo and beta I want to buy Hellgate :D
 
Paraphrased (but I found it hilarious):

(talking about Famitsu SMG review)
Garnett: "I hear they mentioned Super Mario 64."
*silence*
Shane: "Unfathomable."
 
Agree with bud. Dyack and Roper are probably the same person, obviously.

There are just too many similarities.

Loot lovers? Check.
Games that take forever? Check.
Work, Work? Check.
 
1up Yours doesn't work when they bring on a guest who is trying to sell his game. Roper was interesting when he was off-the-cuff and talking about games - I'd love to hear more discussion with developers, but not when they're shilling product.

It's amazing how people can have such diverse opinions, I thought this weeks podcast was the best I've heard in ages.

honestly, i always listen to the whole podcast, and this week i was REALLY tempted to skip, but roper's voice was great and some of his anecdotes were funny.

i couldn't care less about hellgate.
 
Didn't get to listen to the podcast yet, I'll do that at the gym tomorrow... But I think you guys should try to get Ted Price or N'gai back on the show... Maybe get someone new on there like Evan Wells and talk tech with him for a lil... Or, get Gabe and Evan on the same one and see how that pans out... They seem to have a mutual respect, wonder how they'd "discuss" pc's and console's...

I don't really get the enjoyment from MMO after playing FFXI until I hit level 30, IT'S LIKE A FUCKING JOB, but I already have a day job that PAYS ME. I swear to god playing FFXI makes me feel rich in real-life, like I'm a fucking success. In real-life when I go by a roots store and see a sweater I like I'll just fucking buy it, in an MMO I have to fucking go on a QUEST to unlock some fucking requirement so I can wear the fucking gear, half the time I can't afford anything good in FFXI.

I go to work, I work HARD, when I play, I play HARD. But when I play, it ain't supposed to be like work, unless you can sell stuff for money which if this is supposed to be a game, then things like that shouldn't happen.

This is what I don't get about loot/level grinding.

This podcast isn't really as interesting as the previous ones. I just don't think Hellgate is such a high profile game that it warrants such a large portion of the podcast devoted to it.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone.

why do people think GH3's guitar is better than rock band's? i havn't used rock band's yet, but i have used GH3's and was not impressed at all -- just seems like another shaped guitar hero controller with slightly different feel to the buttons. i think i'll much prefer the rock band buttons that are right next to eachother.

Whoa I thought that new music was a joke :lol

Doesn't bother me either way though

Wait wait what?!!? It has to have been a joke -- it was fucking TERRIBLE!

Blazyr - Skip - get rid of it please.

And do we know what it is that Mark is doing? Is he just taking a break or something?
 
I didn't get interested in this episode until the news section, which wasn't enough to make it a great listen. Overall, it was ok.

I found Bill Ropers segment really engaging, despite never having played any Diablo games and having no interest in Hellgate due to lacking PC power. Its always interesting to hear a smart(and successful) developer talk and get a sense for the way they see games and the industry and also how they approach making the games they do.

We need more special guest devs on Yours please!

Short list:

Lorne Lanning
Cliffy/Mark
Dyack
Someone from InfinityWard
Ken Levine
The doc or docs from Bioware
 
Paraphrasing:

Shane: "When you pet the fish for a while it starts glowing and shaking."

Someone whispers: "That seems normal."


:lol :lol :lol

Fish orgasms confirmed?

The tragedy is he was actually in 1up offices earlier this year(or maybe it was late last year) and Jeremy had everything set for a System Shock 2 Retronauts but fucking 2K pulled the pin at the 11th hour because SS2 is an EA property and they didnt want Ken promoting a non-2K property.

Can you believe that shit!? Its like Metalllica not being able to talk about their earlier albums or even acknowledge them anymore because they were released though a different label. I mean give me a fucking break.

Is Bioshock really about emergent gameplay? Bioshock for me was more about well-utilized set pieces, every turret, oil slick, puddle of water and security camera is basically a set piece for the player.
 
i used to think levine's first name was kev
in
instead of ken
... maybe i'm spending too much time on gaf

I get the feeling most people didn't really touch the surface with what is possible in Bioshock and, as such, lauge when they hear it referred to in connection with emergent gameplay. For example, I would bet a large majority of the players never...

(1) Hacked a sentry bot, shot it with a proximity mine, and security tagged a target, creating a bot that will kamikazee its foe rather than shooting at it.
(2)Played through the game Metal Gear style as soon as it was possible. (i.e. don't allow yourself to hack anything or be seen by anything- other than the scripted encounters- and exploit the camo tonic to the fullest)
(3)Ran a wrench only playthrough, building you character with tonics specifically for the wrench. (You actually get absurdly powerful by the end)
(4)Froze a guy in midair, threw a cyclone below him, and then trip wired the area above him to create a visually spectacular juggling death just for the heck of it.

Those are only a few things I used to do for fun in it. There are many cool things that can emerge from the gameplay in Bioshock; it's just that the game itself (and this is, perhaps, one of its few flaws) never actually requires you to do this stuff. You have to seek it out yourself.
