It's never wrong to hope for an early bombcast

I'm hoping for late so it's an entire day of GB content tomorrow.
Incredible shame that Vinny was so dismissive of it.

Watching Load Our Last Souls. Rorie and Ian talking up the boss and then Vinny casually wrecking the 4 kings was pretty great.

Looks like they deleted my favourite user comment which referred to, I assume Alex, as "one pale ass nosferatu looking muthafucka".
This one survived though

PAWG DVDs? Jeff strikes me more as a BBW man.

Mario Kart 8 is great.
But it's also Mario Kart. If you've played MK7, you've pretty much played MK8. It's fine, MK8 is a great game, but it's as iterative of a sequel as you can get.
So like Mortal Kombat. or Far Cry.

Brutal Doom v. 20. Scoops Kleptok has taken a look at this, but I need to see Dan, Jeff, Brad, and/or Vinny play this.

well, while the gameplay may not have evolved much between releases, both games feature a completely new narrative to at least make the treadmill more entertaining.
MK8 is just the cups and the online play, hell they fucked up Battle Mode in MK8 so it doesn't even lend itself well as a good 4 player couch coop game. I can understand why someone would not be about MK8, if my GF wasn't about it I probably wouldn't even bother with it myself. And this is coming from someone who really likes MK8 and thinks that what nintendo did with the DLC for that game deserves praise for its cost to content ratio.

Brutal Doom is so good you guys, I implore anybody interested to play it

Just Cause 3 looks great. I hope we get videos of Vinny playing it.

MK8 features new track elements and items, including something that negates a blue shell, which is fucking huge for the series.
So if it's story you're looking for, Mario Kart was not the series to get in to.

I'm not, i was just replying directly to Data West's examples. I know what MK has in store for me before i buy it, it's a quality kart racer but an extremely iterative one, too. It's ok for someone to say that MK8 is good but they might not be interested in it, I can relate given that it's not bringing much new to the table. It's good, but it's nothing new really.

In Far Cry's case I don't think the narrative is a thing that will draw me back at all, given my experience with 3.

4 was at least considerably less... whatever 3 was
but then, you would have had to actively try to make another one that stupid.

Eh, then again, I'm not sure if I want to play with those gameplay systems again even though I did enjoy it.

I was in the same boat as Jeff. I had enough in me to want to spend some more time with that style of game, as long as I didn't have to put up with abject bullshit to do so. I think after 4 I'm good. it satisfied that desire, probably for a good long time.
I'd play Blood Dragon 2 though.
I skipped out on 4 (but I'll probably pick it up eventually), but what I really want from the FC series is another crazy setting diversion like Blood Dragon. The settings of the main games are fine but BD was super cool and unique.

there was one thing that made almost that entire game for me. they left in the "death from above" attack, but you could jump like 30 feet in the air so I spent the entire game trying to divebomb as many people as possible
man that was fun

I don't think I can deal with another of the same Far Cry formula. I couldn't even bring myself to play any of the story missions of 4 past the first few. The game mechanics and world were still fun enough to play 20 hours or so, but maybe a half hour of that was ever spent on the story.
I generally find the 'nature' setting in video games to be extremely boring. I mean they're usually beautiful aesthetically, but the devs never do anything interesting with animals to make a jungle or a savana or whatever. They just walk around. They don't hunt, they don't travel in packs, they just walk around their disclosed area so there's rarely anything but shallow scenery to excite the eyes to me. Even Red Dead did this by having stuff like random travelers, herds of animals moving across the plains, bits of civilization, insane weather effects and so on.
It's a big reason why I find Just Cause 2's world so incredibly boring.

You mean the Ubisoft formula. First person or third person or in a fucking car, they really need to do something different with the systems between their games.
Far Cry 3 was my first Far Cry game and I had enough of a fill to not be interested in buying 4, even though there are good things said about it.

I only assocciate it with Far Cry because it may be the only Ubisoft game outside of Rayman that I've played in a long time. At least from what I can think of.
Have you at least seen the end of the endurance runs?
You should see the end of Deadly Premonition.
It's preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty great.

DP is a game that everyone should hate, a broken mess in some cases, but it somehow made it through as a cult hit and is actually a lot of fun to play.

Neither do I, I just think that the metro games have a very similar atmosphere to the STALKER series and I think that the metro team could do some really cool stuff in a big open environment based on the stuff they've done with their linear titles.

I wouldn't say that it is 'fun' to play.
The non-playing parts are pretty fun though.

you jokin', right? The company was formed in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2005 and started developing software in 13 February 2006. It was founded by former employees of GSC Game World a year before that company released its flagship title, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
they already did what you wanted them to do, hah.

Haha, yeah, basically.
Also, speaking of weird japanese games that aren't fun to play, playing through killer is dead right now and while the combat is just ok to mediocre, I'd say that the styyyyyyyyyyle and nonsensical story is pretty entertaining.

This new music Jeff is streaming is pretty dope.
Its kinda odd how much I don't miss him from the site.
I mean he would bring attention to some indie games but now they are coming out on PC and he really didn't pay attention to the scene on the site until a fan sent him a pc.

I'll watch some Kepklok stuff when he covers some horror games later in the year. I miss him as the main horror/VN guy, though given that Jason owns Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus maybe he'll be the new VN guy
I was just remembering this when someone yesterday was complaining about a mailbag where they sent Dan $5.
