They're doing it on Mandatory Update as well, so you still got that.

Loved the jolly cooperation Bloodborne. They did really well. I want more!
Monday off for holiday. Monopoly didn't happen because after a trip Huber apparently got sick and didn't come in Thursday. And Friday they had an all day Gt meeting to plan 2016.
But based on the hints Ben is dropping on Twitter Tabletop adventures is coming back this year

I really don't understand this at all. The more side shit the better for me. Loved this one.

I wouldn't read too much into those. FF spinoffs and direct sequels never do as well as the mainline games, especially the first mainline game of the generation. I think Persona 5 will do really well thanks to word of mouth and releasing on a relevant system (not the PS2 in 2008 or the Vita) but it's not going to even get close to FFXV. It's not like it matters though, Persona 5 deserves that number one spot because it has better pedigree and looks amazing.
Anyway, I hated last weeks episode, which got bogged down in that awful Hitman discussion where Bosman, Ian and Jones just continually shat on the game, but I really liked this weeks one.

I think it was 'I smell a baby crying'. Kyle wouldn't make such a blue joke.
Ah true you right, I think I mixed up the quotes haha
I actually used to watch The Sentinel when I was in elementary school. I never expected to ever have to think about it again, but there ya go I guess.
The plot was ridiculous, it was some ex-marine guy who used to work in the jungle or something, and there he learned to sharpen his senses to survive and now he uses those senses for policework. Or something like that. I completely forgot about that Blair guy though.

Loved this GT Time. It's definitely my favorite of all their shows. This Man up, Jolly Co-op Bloodborne was awesome too.

GT Time was excellent this week. Hope you guys plan on continuing that Bloodborne playthrough from ManUps. Maybe patch the system though haha.

They do it. Last year I saw 2 people, one controller beat Dark Souls 1

GT Time is the only gaming podcast I know of that doesn't do side shit. I hate the bombcast because of it and I don't want GT Time to turn into that. Simple as that.

I get a kick out of listening to the side stuff on GT time because it's always kind of a guilty pleasure for them with one panelist, (usually Bloodworth), nagging them keep on moving through the stories. Other podcasts might get bogged down in it for sure but I think GT time hits the sweet spot, for me at least.

Seems like you're in the minority. Sorry pal. It really isn't as "simple as that".
I get his point, but i feel like so far they kept a good balance.
The BombCast is 3 hours, we have a long way before GTtime becomes that.

What do you suggest is the balance then? I said that it was the first episode ever where I felt the need to turn it off, because of the off-topic conversations. I obviously still finished it, because I love the podcast and will continue to listen to it, of course.
I know that I'm in the minority, thanks.
The "simple as that" was referring to his notion that he couldn't understand why I would feel that way. I gave a short explanation and finished my post like that to emphasize that there's no weird logic behind it. I hope I was able to make that clear now, pal.
Absolutely. GT Time is nowhere near close to the Bombcast and like I've said before, 1 hour 20 minutes is still absolutely fine. It just felt like time on this episode was a bit wasted, which is something they don't usually do. It's not like I hated the episode or turned it off right away and store off GT forever or anything. It was just weird.

I would love for them to play through the whole game like this, maybe jolly co-operation could get it's own series.
I really don't care about amiibo but the hate for them in regards to Zelda was so weird on GT Time. They have an incredibly minimal impact on the game, the largest of which is a 40 floor challenge "dungeon" that reuses assets. There is already one of those in the base game. The reward you get from the amiibo challenge is totally unnecessary anyways. The other amiibo do practically nothing. So the complaints that they effect the design of the game is absolutely bizarre. The Ganon amiibo has a cool effect, but the game already has a hero mode so it isn't necessary to get a more challenging experience.
The amiibo situation is tough because either people complain that they don't do enough or they complain that they do to little.

Just let me buy the extras as DLC so I don't have to have plastic crap and I'll buy the base game. It's getting frustrating that I need clutter to play things I want to play.
Would you even want to download any of that stuff though? They do so little I don't see their effects being worth any amount of money.
Refill hearts (once a day?)
Refill arrows (once a day)
Double damage (already in the game as an optional mode)
Challenge rooms where you are forced to play as the Wolf
I really don't think any of that is worth any money. They are just neat effects that these toys can have on your game. It's not like some big, game changing thing is locked behind a toy. I think that's one of the big complaints about amiibo. They have extremely minimal impact on the games they interact with.

Nah, just the challenge rooms. The rest I'd ignore.
I'm always up for more gameplay of that type, but I don't want a figure.
Isn't that sort of the point of toys-to-life though? With other figures you're just buying add-on content.
I suppose the counterpoint to that statement is that unlike amiibo, games like infinity/dimensions/skylanders base their entire game around buying toys, so it's not as bad.
It's a once a day refill of resources found everywhere throughout the game. How does that break it?
"This boss is giving me a hard time, and I don't see any hearts floating around anymore... I know, I'll pause and grab my Zelda amiibo!" Boom, health restored.
To be fair, I think Kyle said the Ganondorf amiibo thing was cool, it's the hearts and arrows that are lame.
Exactly what abrack08 said. The game was not created with amiibos in mind. I'm not saying people shouldn't use it but I can guarantee you will have a worse experience of the game if you use the amiibo functionality. It takes away from the experience of earning these things in the game itself.

Hah when I read this I heard it delivered by Ben
First thing i thought too.

That should make a good Final Bosman or at least a good moment in the next GT Time episode.
I feel like he's talked about/ridiculed it enough. I don't really see what he could add to the topic now. He's probably just a bit sick of it like everyone else now.

Will Might No. 9 become the new great vaporware of our generation?
I feel bad for backers who probably get excited to play the game every time it gets close to a release window only for the game to push it back.
lol

Nah, I played the demo. I'm not excited anyway, it's just funny at this point.

Not sure if it was mentioned here recently, but a technical issue here, my GT app on a (third gen) iPad running iOS9 keeps crashing upon launch, any ideas fellas?

I think the apps were abandoned a while ago, because they were based on the old Viacom tech. The solution is to use their YouTube channel instead.
