I'd say that tank controls are by and large antiqued design. Some people might still like it, but seeing how few games still use it, "antiqued" is the right word imo (that said, I'm sure "normal" controls breaks a game that's designed for tank controls, that seems pretty obvious). And yes, TB is now the de facto leader of GG in that he's the only high profile person still standing with them and he can fuck right off for it.

Resident Evil was designed around those tank controls. Really everything about the game is designed around the way the player interacts with the environment. Changing something so essential as that just for the sake of pandering to people who can't wrap their head around it is betraying the game's spirit and the intent of the original designers.
Games don't have to be for everyone. It's okay for people to dislike something about a game and not play it. I wish more people would understand that.

Capcom is trying to sell a product, widening the potential audience with an optional feature harms absolutely no one. And there will be people who will play this game and enjoy it more because of that option.

Its an option. I dont get what the big deal is. I hated playing the original game due in part to those tank controls. The fact that they made an effort to try something new has me thinking about giving it another shot.
If its bending you out of shape thats your problem.

I just find that picture hilarious. And I find it hilarious someone would say that. He's such a dick.
He must have forgot all about his E3 "Butt Tumblr" adventure.

Even funnier when you realize TB is the one who told harassment victims to man up and get over it like he does. Good old Total "thick skinned" Biscuit as they say...
Sad that Shawn is still pretty quiet. I'm still waiting for that Rust stream with him and Jeff Green. They promised
That's a good name. Nice job.
I've never played a Resident Evil game before. I suspect I'd do that same thing if I played without any warning not to.
So I started playing hearthstone and it's pretty good but it only took 2 online games to run into someone taking foreeeever on their last turn that was clearly going to win them the game, while they kept repeating a bunch of speech bubbles at me. Like, well done you won but I kinda want to leave now.
It's just like fifa, only at least in fifa there's some back and forth with the vindictive celebration gloating
ah I see
lol oh yeah, and that's a perfect answer to the question "what is tumblr" too

I see Patricks writing hasn't gotten better:
Most games are terrified players won't find everything, which means items and other objects are often sparkling in plain view.

Patrick left Giant Bomb to write tips for playing a decade old game?

I mean, Giant Bomb is hardly a stranger to going deep on decades-old games either
It's been the latest hotness for awhile now. I don't even know who these kinds of articles are for. Really low form of writing but then again, published on Kotaku.
I was happy to see a new Spookin', at least. Video is where Patrick has always shone.

someone should hire me to write articles about how to play PS2 Shin Megami Tensei games
How do I Jack Frost
Someone probably would if those games got HD re-released on current gen systems this week.

I'd probably just store it until you can fuse a King Frost or something. he's not really great as far as your bufu options go

I wonder if Jeff realizes all the potential Hatsune Miku applications for the new Microsoft Hologram glasses.
No, I meant how do I make Jack Frost my permanent in game waifu
EDIT: Serious question though, I got to Matador on Nocturne and got my ass properly kicked. Granted, I could probably take him down if I did a bit of grinding and fusing, but that boss encounter made me drop Nocturne.
Those glasses are my kind of dumb new technology, they look so cool and useless!
The Resident Evil Quick Look was about what I expected, but it was Dan playing, so I can forgive his ignorance.
I was surprised to hear Drew actually drop some knowledge about only some of the backgrounds being remodeled. I was not expecting anyone at GB to know that. Good on 8-4.
As for the new controls, I'm fine with it, but it does make the game super easy. Couple that with the confusing difficulty options (Mountain Climbing is Normal, folks), I can see a lot of new players breezing through the game. Knife-only runs are probably going to be super easy with these controls.
I think tank controls go hand-in-hand with fixed camera angles. This may sound weird, but I think they're required to make the game control less awkwardly, especially when the camera angle changes. You can sort of see Dan struggle with that at one point.
But whatever. I started playing Resident Evil games with RE2 on the N64, which actually was the first and only game in the series to remove tank controls until RE6.
I honestly see new players being more frustrated with inventory management, backtracking, and being attacked by offscreen enemies.

If Wired is to be believed, it actually sounds really impressive. http://www.wired.com/2015/01/microsoft-hands-on/
Just think, anywhere can be a DDR dance pad.
This is amazing. I dream of a day that east and west are permanently united. This is the last video Patrick will appear on the site in as an employee on the sad side
Yeah, I read that. Looks cool.

oh jeez I think it's just a combination of "over"levelling and spamming dodge/defense down spells at him. sucks either way
As somebody who's interested into getting into SMT outside of Persona, but is not interested in getting a 3DS solely for SMTIV, what would you recommend me? (Digital Devil Saga looks interesting, and I might give Nocturne another shot)

Everyone knows Nocturne is countered by early counter jungling.
I just had a really weird moment where I thought I clicked on the league of legends thread in my subscriptions instead of this one. It felt like when you think you are about to take a drink of water but it's actually milk.

Nocturne and the DDS games are my easy recommendations and they're cheap and downloadable for ps3 now. if you have a DS, Strange Journey is kind of a weird but cool game.
I've never really liked the Devil Summoner games. I think it's more the tone and setting than anything.
but yeah. DDS. good stuff.

you should probably have a 3DS anyway, guys

HoloLens seems neat and slightly more substantial than I expected. That said, I'd probably rather have an Oculus if I could only have one of them.

You didn't ask me but here you go anyway:
Give Nocturne another shot. Yes, the Matador is a roadblock at first but it's really just a tutorial to learn to use defensive/status effect magic since it's absolutely required more and more the further you progress in the game. Once you get past that hurdle, Nocturne is one of the most rewarding, engrossing and fantastic JRPGs you'll find.
DDS is pretty good too. The second PS2 Devil Summoner is a solid Tales-esque action RPG (as in the battles are on a separate screen instead of seamless like a lot of action RPGs) and personally I love the setting. Devil Survivor is a pretty fun SRPG/sort of visual novel (you're not moving around a map between battles, you just choose areas from a menu and the story progresses through lots of dialogue) for DS. You can't go wrong with any of those, but Nocturne is far and away the best the series has to offer outside of Persona games.
The question is how much you'll have to contort to see those pantsu
