Support NeoGAF

There's one with e-Reader support too, hope they dig out that one.

Looks like a fine product.

 

[Anjin M]

look at this shit

Looks like a fine product.

On one hand, this would be a terrible idea. On the other hand, I like the idea of making them suffer. So I'm torn.

 

[Jeevesmeister]

One of my biggest issues with hte MKX Roster is shit like Cassie Cage AND Johnny Cage AND Sonya. No, they don't all control the same, but the basic idea is that Cassie is a mix of her mom and dad. So did we REALLY need her mom and dad?

Like Johnny Cage and Sonya being in the game with Cassie being in it doesn't seem so bad as they are a little different until you realize characters with drastically different and extremely unique movesets like Noob and Smoke are missing just so we can have Jax. Again. Or Sonya. Again.

Seriously. MK9 had like, what, close to 40? And for the most part, they all played pretty damn differently. Instead we have the Kombat Kids Klub which, I'm sorry, maybe it's fine, but I just find that "trope" or whatever it's called really goddamn tiring.

Also they go super hard on that overly serious aesthetic that Johnny Cage's default is boring action hero man instead of "motherfucker with his first name tatted on his chest and his last as a golden belt buckle," which sure, is his alternate, but man, maaaaan, the character design in that game is just so borrrrinnngg.

I thought it was Danswers with Jeff GerstDann, no non-Dans allowed.

Mk 9 had like 25 characters and x has 24 and I'd probably say that x has a stronger roster, in part due to the variation stuff. I also think that while some characters have bland designs you've got characters with vastly improved designs like Mileena and the other new characters have some great designs.

If you want a bunch of alcoholics podcasting there's the Christmas Dancast!

Sorry, had to.

To be fair Alan Wake as a character was clearly intended to be kind of unlikable for a large part of the game as part of his story arc.

As for the actual game I liked it quite a bit but I only picked it up when it came out on PC which was a somewhat better version and by then people knew what to expect better so there was much less hype-backlash.

Jeff podcast is better. Jeff and the Gerstmenn (or Gerstladies)

This is my new favorite GIF. The bit at the end where looks to the side slays me.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

They honestly managed to somehow cut every single one of my favorite characters from MK9 for MKX.

How does that jobber Reptile get to stay playable but not my boy Baraka?

Baraka is the definition of Mortal Kombat jobber.

 

[Data West]

Baraka is the definition of Mortal Kombat jobber.

So is Reptile.

Baraka at least married Mileena.

 

[Wunder]

That Hero generations game looks... weird but kinda cool?? I like games that incorporate family/ancestry type stuff in the game, like a Rogue Legacy or Massive Chalice.

 

[stump sock]

I remember reading previews for MK2 and thinking Baraka looked super badass and I couldn't wait to play him

holy christ what a letdown

Yeah, not a big fan of the art style but the concept is cool.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Reptile actually became the final boss of a main series game

Spoiler

kinda.

Baraka is just a guy who has an army of guys that look like him whose only purpose is to job to better characters.

Doesn't really seem like something I'd play but there a bunch of neat ideas in there.

Fridge-kun!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

The only logical reason Jason, is that Fridge-kun only approves of proper root beer and not that aspartame nonsense.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Jason can't you see Fridge-kun is not the best for Giantbomb?

I say make a video of throwing it out of the window.

 

[Dany]

fridge-kun ;(

What?! I say we make a video of throwing you out of the window

 

[shadyspace]

I thought fridge-kun was a girl.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Fridge-kun was real mad at Dan's views on music so it decided to destroy his root beer.

Fridge-kun giveth and Fridge-kun taketh away.

Fridge-kun is beyond such petty concepts.

This is the answer I'm going with.

Jeff podcast is better. Jeff and the Gerstmenn (or Gerstladies)

Please the accepted term is Gerstmann People or "Gerstpeople"

 

[SteveWinwood]

fridge kun smash!

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

They thought they could trust Fridge-kun, but Fridge-kun be like:

Oh that darn Fridge-kun....

 

[Wunder]

yeah mechanically it seems a bit arbitrary and random and I feel like you can just lose progress instantly to a dumb dice roll, but I like the sense of progression it could potentially bring as well as creating a 'legacy' by building up a world for the future generations to traipse around

 

[EdReedFan20]

Just a little throw-back regarding the fridge: https://vine.co/v/M0aIOd3Y520

 

[Brashnir]

Fridge-kun is beyond such petty concepts.

Fridge-kun is pan-gender.

Hmmm... I just got a Test Invoice for Subscribing from GB out of nowhere... I'm in the middle of my sub and won't renew until next summer.


I guess they are having issues with the new system lol.

I sent a tweet to Rorie just in case.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I am going to watch the bomb crew huddled around a paper game board passing a GBA back and forth so help me

Jason's sense of humor reminds me of Dave. That's pretty cool. I like Jason a lot.

I have good news BanGy! The good news is that Heroes of the Storm is pretty awesome. The bad news is

I redownloaded League of Legends last night after 12 months of quitting. I can't quit it.

Stuff like this is why you're top of the list.

As someone who spent a hundred bucks on LoL, I can confirm DOTA2 is the vastly superior game. Sadly my home internet connect is so spotty I can't play it online anymore.
