chaobreaker is my arch nemesis after daydream

[Chance Hale]

Is $12 that good? Seems pretty standard to me.

16 courses for 12 dollars is an incredible value given the game launched at 60 with 32 courses.

Also, they're totally doing character DLC for Smash (Mewtwo, Lucas) but you know, let's just be happy they did the QL.

Fair enough but it's always been a frustrating thing on the site for me. Really not hard to do some basic fact checking but oh well!

[Antiwhippy]

are you talking about the price for the MK8 DLC?

Well, the main game comes with 32 Tracks, 16 new ones and 16 remade ones.

The DLC comes with 16 Tracks, also a mix of old and new.

So you're getting basically half a game's worth of tracks for $12 and that's not counting the extra characters and skins and vehicles.

So yeah, if you're a Mario Kart fan then it's an excellent deal on DLC.

I guess I'm not entirely sure how racing games normally value their downloadable content, seeing that I don't really play racing games.

Total of $9,59 for three characters (+ cars) and a track.

MK8 DLC gets you 16 tracks, six characters and a plethora of vehicles for $12.

Like I said, I'm with you, but I also know my GB. Oh well, indeed!

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

No need to do that. The N64 version was released overseas.

I don't have any means of running N64 carts. PS1 version seems really hard to find though...

one of those characters you get for 9.59 pilots Out Run, Hang-On, and Space Harrier cabinets as his vehicles so where's the real bargain here

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I guess I'm not entirely how racing games normally value their downloadable content, seeing that I don't really play racing games.

half of a fully priced retail game's content for $12 is a bargain regardless of the genre. The only exception would be if the retail game was barebones, like a Destiny or something. Then the DLC just feels exploitative.

But in the case of MK8, it was a fully featured game in regards to content

Spoiler

well, with the exception that they totally fucked up Battle Mode

and then you could buy +50% more content for $12. I never buy a season pass or DLC unless it's on sale and i bought this day one, it was that good of a deal

 

[Piston Hyundai]

for some reason it just feels wrong for me to have to pay for a character that was in the previous game, like dry bowser or any of the returning smash bros characters

 

[Glitchesarecool]

bruh

snowboard kids

This man know.

Woh, hold up. I never head of this. Might look to import a PS1 copy...

It's such a good game! Two options of item rolls and the laps always end with you boarding onto the lift, unless you fuck up the angle in which case you faceplant right into the railing.

That's the thing though, I don't really like these games so I just see it in terms of pure assets instead of a value to a fan. Like, from what I've looked in term of pure assets it seems about on par with borderlands 2 DLC stuff, but I'm going to run through that zone once while people are going to be racing on repeat.

 

[nobodyshero]

I love how Alex doesn't recall the big Nintendo direct news where they announced massive plans for Smash Bros DLC, but does recall the Gaf/kotaku/whatever leak of extra character slots in the 3DS version.

 

[Majine]

No one naturally remembers Mewtwo. And it's nature's way of saying it's stupid.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

random thing from 5/2/2011 podcast:

the best thing to come out of the FEAR series is jeff talking about video games being in the spotlight again due to them being bad for the childrens and him trying to sell the supreme court on the need for more censorship.

"My child tried to force himself on a ghost!" makes me laugh every time.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nah man, he's the one most people go to after beating the elite 4. Who the fuck doesn't naturally remember mewtwo?

The best thing to come out of the FEAR series is that first game because holy shit it's one of the best FPS games ever made

This man know.

okay so my dream game is now SSX 3 gameplay but with jumps giving you a speed boost depending on how big it was, and tricks giving you cash to buy power-ups that spawn on the course

 

[nobodyshero]

They also announced another character, and that whole poll thing too.

oh you motherfucker i never knew how much i needed that

Can you imagine starting from the top of a giant ass mountain with nothing but your giant nose and poofy snowsuit

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Can you imagine starting from the top of a giant ass mountain with nothing but your giant nose and poofy snowsuit

and then you start pulling off tricks so motherfucking dope that RUN-DMC starts playing in the background and then all of a sudden you are literally breakdancing on top of your snowboard

Jeff and Alex periscopin'

[giant_frying_pan]

As crappy as vertical videos almost always are, in this case it lets me reclaim more of my desktop.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Oooh! Are they gonna be on the Bombcast this week!?

They usually record on Mondays right?

 

[daydream]

you know, jeff, boom blox WAS great

really fun multiplayer, too

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I'm weirded out that Alex is the one driving.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Storm United sounds like a game title that Dick Wolf will come up with.

 

[LiK]

is there gonna be an archive? I can't watch this shit live

 

[Bacon]

I'm really dissapointed to hear alex say Action Bronson isn't a good dude

 

[EdReedFan20]

Not surprising Jeff did not like Interstellar.

 

[strafer]

Not surprising Jeff did not like Interstellar.

Does he like anything?

 

[Zebetite]

interstellar is maybe half a good movie if i'm being generous

 

[Bacon]

Of course Jeff has a Sling TV subscription in addition to his cable subscription. Of course he does. I think Jeff may have the most service subscriptions of any man in America.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I hope they do this on the way to E3 this year. Last year's Mixlr was cool, but video makes it even cooler.

 

[shadyspace]

I still can't stop thinking that people are talking about the much cooler Sling Box when they are talking about SlingTv

 

[Antiwhippy]

Why are they listening to metalcore?

 

[Falifax]

Why are they listening to metalcore?

Alex is driving.

 

[Incandenza]

okay so my dream game is now SSX 3

Coulda just stopped right there!

Spoiler

Okay maybe that's hyperbolic but I love that damn game

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I've had Skyrim on PC since launch and only put around 16 hours into it, but I would totally be into playing a PS4 version.

Why is it more appealing on PS4?

The E3 drive last year was fantastic, hopefully we get group that size this year.

Tricky's cooler, but SSX 3 is one of the best games of all time

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh, I feel like this is how valve operates. They don't really know how the market would react so they just throw shit out and see what sticks.

 

[stump sock]

I'm not sure why this Storm United unfinished video even exists

"we are aware servers are currently empty"

 

[Tucah]

I hope they do this on the way to E3 this year. Last year's Mixlr was cool, but video makes it even cooler.

I could see there being some Periscope of the drive, especially if Danny joins him again this year since that man seems to really like Periscope.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Power Bombcast tomorrow!? Woohoo!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

MK8 continues to be a super good looking game. art team really killed it.

those 10 minute long gamexplain videos where they overanalyze the fuck out of a video were kind of amazing for Mario Kart 8 because of how much stuff they put into the tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx0XfyEMvVA

 

[EdReedFan20]

Dueling Periscopes from the same location!? That'd be nuts.

 

[Shiny Llama]

Oh, are Vinny and Alex leaving on Thursday?

That's a shame, was looking forward to a packed UPF as well as the BLLSL.
