Boy I hope they do another video of the next raid
it'll never happen.
Bloodborne came out just as I was falling off of Destiny, thankfully. I still enjoy it but I probably won't get back to it until the House of Wolves DLC. I have pretty much all of the loot I want and enough materials to last me a lifetime it feels like. I do like some of the changes the next patch is bringing though. I'd love to see them raid again but that isn't going to happen.
It absolutely baffles me that people are still playing Destiny. Like, what are you doing? There's a guy on my friends list who is always playing the game to this day and it blows my mind. I was done with that game after a week.
I will make a separate post for why No More Heroes is the best. This post is about why Fallout: New Vegas is not so good.
I have a great respect for Obsidian's writing and design work, but, unfortunately, Fallout: New Vegas sees that talent shackled to Bethesda's pathetic world setting and subpar gameplay systems. Instead of the complex, morally gray problems addressed in games like Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic II, New Vegas decays into faction based decision making, simply allowing the player to choose a preferred ideology and cruise to the end of the game without self-reflecting. And no, Ron Perlman saying a thing happened doesn't count.
It also fails on a gameplay level. As is typical of these Bethesda published games, there's a lot to do, and the player has a lot of freedom to do whatever they want. Unfortunately, the poor core gameplay guarantees that even the more interesting quests are an obnoxious experience. The VATS system guarantees that combat degenerates into spraying bullets wildly/fleeing until your bar recharges enough to get in a slow-mo, critical hit. That sounds almost as fun as wandering aimlessly through a desert hoping something fun will happen, which is the rest of the game.
Still better than Fallout 3!

Grinding the same shit, using it as a chatroom, pvp if you enjoy that aspect of it. Would be my guess.
Catching up on today's content. Two enjoyable QLs and a really good Danswers. What I like to see.
I have so many podcasts to catch up on its making my head spin.
Annoying how I have to download the premium ones and manually put them on itunes in order to listen to them on my phone without wasting data, but its worth it to heard that Rustling/Danswers goodness.
Destiny's combat feels pretty damn good. If there was a much better framework for that combat to flourish in, it'd totally be GotY material.
Basically, what Jeff said.
Don't need to do that. Use a podcast app (or maybe you can do this in itunes too?) and just use this url: https://username:password@www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium/ (obviously with your username and password). You can download the podcast while on wi-fi and listen to it without wasting data.
edit: Not sure how to add the full url here it seems, it's the one in this Reddit post.
Yo, I'm interested in Persona 4. How should I experience it?

-P4G Vita
-Giantbomb Endurance Run

Got to figure out how to get this to work with the podcast app, but thanks for the help! Didn't even know this existed until now.
P4 Anime is garbage no watch
It should work in any of the bigger podcast apps and is easy to use (they all have a search function, that's where you search for the url). I forgot about what Tharp added, that's needed for a few apps.

Why No More Heroes is the Best Game of Last Generation
Contrary to the flashy excess of its presentation, No More Heroes is a game designed around restraint, and this manifests in every aspect of the game. Instead of marring every Beam Katana attack with a Wii remote swing, NMH reserves physical movement for its killing blows, punctuating a lethal combo with a satisfying wrist flick and fountains of blood. Despite the thrill of combat being the game's strength, stages actually grow shorter as the game progresses because, yes, the game knows that you know how to kill faceless thugs.
Reviewers and players alike hold NMH's empty overworld and meaningless part-time job missions against the game, but they're missing the point. Aside from serving as a criticism of the vapid, all you can eat buffet nature of missions in open-world games (many of which review incredibly well because of that design), these breaks in the action allow the game to further highlight its spectacular boss fights: You need to put in some work before you get to have fun. The game actually imposes its ethos of restraint directly on the player, and I think that makes those bosses all the more memorable.
When they're made right, games designed around boss fights tend to be pretty awesome, and NMH lives up to that reputation. NMH begins with protagonist Travis Touchdown tasked with eliminating the top 10 ranked assassins in his hometown of Santa Destroy. After eliminating rank 10, Death Metal, Travis’s ulterior motive is revealed: his handler, Sylvia, will sleep with him if he emerges as the number one ranked assassin. Travis’s obvious issues with women permeate the entire game, but not just on a narrative level. The female bosses are actually considerably more difficult to take down than their male counterparts, and Travis’s interactions with these bosses feed into a sort of a meta-narrative about his triumph over his childish views on women.His rebirth as the number one assassin tracks alongside a sort of twisted coming-of-age story, which is quite the feat for a character in his late twenties, but I guess that’s fairly typical for persons so steeped in the conspicuous consumption of nerd culture. I bet you didn't think the game where the guy salaciously utters "moe" at a loli poster and poops to save was actually a secret art game, did you?Travis hurts the first girl he’s with (Rank 8, Shinobu), but doesn’t go in for the kill, metaphorically and literally, since he spares her after chopping off her hand. He falls hopelessly in love with the next girl (Rank 6, Holly Summers), but she breaks it off by blowing her own head off with a grenade after he demonstrates his naiveté and inexperience. He finally figures out what’s going on after an extended break when he’s with an older woman (Rank 3, Speed Buster), who he expertly beheads after some gentle encouragement. Fancying himself an expert, Travis immediately goes after a bad girl (Rank 2, Bad Girl), who nearly outlasts him and only lets off when he admits he’s bitten off more than he can chew. Finally, he learns to let go of the woman he’s been secretly obsessed with the entire game (Jeane) as well as the woman he’s been openly obsessed with the entire game (Sylvia).
Also, the game has wrestling and anime, so it fits in perfectly with this thread. Any questions?
No More Heroes was a boring open world game and a terrible follow-up to Killer 7.
I liked No More Heroes a lot, but the thing about making a large chunk of your game terrible in "satire" of other games is that you still made a large chunk of your game terrible and proved that those other games do things very well that you weren't capable of. Nobody came out of No More Heroes thinking that other open worlds are bad, they came out of it wishing they'd played the good open worlds instead during those portions.
