I've lost myself to Destiny. It's the best bad game I've ever played.

I'd say it has the best art direction of the year. I understand why it lost best looking. That broadly, others do beat it.

Even the fictional logos in Destiny on vendor emblems and the like are really solid stuff.

The visuals hint at a fully realized world that the story never makes good on.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I would love that, but can you imagine the chat, a damn disaster.

hey gurl, show y0ur titz!!!

I... don't really care

that's Rorie's problem

2015: the year we all stop giving in to the internet fuckboy horde

 

[Jothel]

Did they forget to edit the D4 portion of the video? there's a lot of them saying "we'll edit this out" "I just wanna get past this bit" and Jason asking Drew to re-ask the question. Fair enough if they did miss this, seems like they need an awful lot of editing for all the other parts.

 

[Egg0]

I thought it was suppose to be like a 2nd quick look. I guess they want it to be a bit more professional.

It was weird when Drew asked Alex how long the game was twice.

they should probably give Cara a job

like, as in "this is by far the next best step the site could take and prioritising anything else is fucking insane" probably

Yup yup.

sounds like the greatest left 4 dead mod ever made

Kanye Zone is 100 times more a game than Destiny and that's an undeniable fact

Brad will read this post and weep Cackalacky tears at its truthfulness

i mean it may not have been the same version

but i remember playing the kanye zone game last year

like 3 of her games came out in 2013

shes not even with the times

Just finished up Valiant Hearts because I didn't want to be spoiled when they talk about it, wow what a great ending.

What's the policy on GOTY discussion spoilers itt?

I'm thinking of holding off for the massive flight I have ahead of me in the new year. I should probably avoid this thread, right?

You mostly wanna avoid the GOTY thread if you're going on a complete blackout.

I realized that I needed to play it asap while listening to today's podcast... I started a playthough earlier but man... It's tough to go from Farcry 4 to that lol.

 

[Jintor]

The only topic I should really need to skip is best story and maybe GOTY right? Damnit... I just haven't had the chance to play games for like six months out of this year @_@

They hinted at a "Best Moment" category today that would, among other things, spoil the end off Valiant Hearts.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So the main thing people have been freaking out about in desert golfing is that the color shifts?

What?

Though it's mainly the idle thumbs who were doing the freaking out.

I've been forcing myself to play through the game tonight and it's not exactly fun (especially when I could be playing Farcry 4 instead). From the walkthrough I'm looking at right now I'm a bit short of halfway through the game...ugh.

 

[daydream]

Seems like Ian's Final Fantasy streams haven't been archived, bummer. Was in the mood to watch those.

 

[Dany]

Cuties, i'm intoxicated.


Today was a great day of GB content, podcast, video and article were all AAA. Also is there a desert golf QL. I could use that nowow.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Watched the big group Unprofessional Fridays with the regulars plus Alex, Patrick, Vinny, Will and Dave that had Mount Your Friends on it -- that Mount Your Friends segment may be tied with Mario Party Party 2 for best ever Giant Bomb content.

About to check out some of the other times they've played it. If these are even a tenth as good as that 12/5 Unprofessional Fridays was they'll be great.

Is Guilty Gear X3rd on Steam?

 

[Twin Tails]

Ps3 / Ps4 only
but didnt a GG just get released/announced for steam?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nope.

Edit: as in xrd is not on steam.

 

[Ketch]

what is the story here?

 

[FStop7]

Biggest Surprise should have been both negative and positive. That way Destiny could have swept Biggest Surprise and Biggest Disappointment.

The GG that most recently came out on Steam is 10 years old.

Just finished MGS3 for the first time. It started off slow but my goodness, the last half was perhaps probably the most engaged I've ever been with a game. The main characters and story were brilliantly executed and the cinematography in cut-scenes, especially

Spoiler

The Boss

fight was absolutely beautiful.

My only complaint is

Spoiler

The Cobras

didn't get enough screentime/character development and the fights felt kind of shoehorned in there as you went along but at least

Spoiler

The End and The Sorrow

fights were pretty memorable.

I could tell Kojima got a lot of shit for the ending of 2 'cause 3's ending was so coherent, haha. I did miss the batshit, craziness that was 2 but I'm sure I'll get more than enough of that in 4 and Rising.

Anyway, I beat 1, 2 and now 3 in a span of a week or so. I finally realize the brilliance that is the mind of Kojima. His storytelling and boss design is probably second to none. Thank you Dan/Drew/Giantbomb for finally getting me to play this incredible series.

That is awesome, man. The MGS games aren't for everyone but if they work for you they are fantastic games. Glad you're digging them as much as you are.

PS: MGS3 is one of my favorite games ever.

Yes, I'd say that's a problem with all of the games past the original. While the bosses were the least fun to fight they had the most personality in the series.

Once I bought the HD collection and finally finished 2 and 3, I've gone full MGS. My favorite gaming series, probably.

I wanna hear what Jeff thinks about Puyo Puyo Tetris. He was very excited to dig into it on the Tuesday stream.

I hope it's terrible so that I can feel less bad about the missing localisation. ;-;

Glad you're enjoying them. I personally believe 3 is the best in the franchise.

I'm definitely #teampatrick when it comes to MGS: 3 and 1 are by far the best, though 2 and 4 are still great games.

Rewatched the GOTY day 1 video again. So good.

It's been said before but for dudes who aren't actors, they sure can act pretty well when they need to.

I was lucky to get a Sentris key earlier. Thanks to Samantha for giving those away!

I spent some time with the game and it seems much improved from the version I played, I dunno, a year or so ago (I think that was the KS demo). I'm digging it!

I had some extra cash to buy some dlc or smaller titles on PSN, but can't since it's down. I decided to do the next best thing and become a premium member. I want to start with metal gear scanlon.

I thought

Spoiler

the Cobra unit not being developed characters was a good thing as it kept the player focused on the relationship between Big Boss and The Boss. It made her more important and amplified the player's reaction to her fate.

Thanks for the heads up.
