Psychonauts is the best DoubleFine game, followed closely by the Brutal Legend demo.

Did you get the super special pre-copyright infringement version that only came out in Norway and then disconnect your 360 forever to not get the title update that 'fixed' it, Myggen?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Same boat Myggen. It came out when tower defense was just past its apex of popularity and people were burning out on the genre, and then Trenched was awesome. Love those artillery cannons.

Dan is missing the point of the name "mobile trench".

Can't say I did

Is Coca Cola Life a thing in the US? It has a mixture of sugar and stevia and is really close to the original. (While still having quite some sugar in it)

Yup. I've seen it in Maryland. It was in a Target. Thus far, it's the only place I've seen it.

Whelp, guess I'm installing Trenched this weekend. Anybody want to play (on Steam)?

 

[daydream]

Trenched is fun but I kinda lost interest after awhile, dunno.

Unlike most GAFfers, I like quite a few Double Fine games (Stacking, Broken Age, Costume Quest), though. Somehow haven't played Psychonauts, yet.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I remember playing the demo of Trenched and really enjoying it but for some reason I never picked up the main game. I'll have to pick up the pc version now.

But the full version of Brutal Legend is better than the demo.

 

[Archaix]

I loved what I played of Stacking, but I got to a point pretty quickly where I was very happy to stop playing Stacking and leave it as a great hour or so. I had no interest in finishing that game, as soon as it started to drag I dropped it.

Couldn't disagree more. Game felt bloated with too many mechanics that were half-baked. I would have been much happier with just the one half-baked mechanic as a mediocre action game in the amazing world they set up. Plus, by the time I played the full game I'd already seen the best part in the demo, the menu was 90% of what you need out of that game.

And yeah, I have never regretted a preorder more so I'm going to be biased. People should almost certainly grab Brutal Legend at whatever price they are selling it for. It's a known quantity now, so the fact that they just kept lying leading up to release doesn't really impact your purchase. The weird action RTS stuff still makes it a poorer game, and things like the bus driving should have been dumped before release, but the world they made is so good.

fucking nailed it

Brutal Legend was a... Brutal disappointment. Also I feel like they really tried to pull one over on folks, I was at the E3 where they first showed it and it was basically the demo. They didn't talk about the RTS stuff at all iirc.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Just realized I've had Iron Brigade on Steam for over a year and completely forgot lol

But the full version of Brutal Legend is better than the demo.

Unlocking a lot of the songs in that game and just driving around that world was amazing.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Just the other night I was listening to an old Bombcast from around the release of Brutal Legend and they talked about how out of nowhere the RTS stuff was.

I loved it, personally.

 

[Anjin M]

Will you accept dick pics?

I'll take one for the team if he won't.

Have I got the game for you!

Alright, daydream! Costume Quest was my favorite of the bunch.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ooh yeah I love Costume Quest! Repetitive as hell, but they just nailed the atmosphere and feel of Halloween.

 

[LiK]

watching Bradborne Part 2 and Jason was freaking over revealing Witcher 3 spoilers. I'm sorry, I was the one who complained about that to them. Thanks for caring, Jason.

The ropeadope around Brutal Legend was crazy. It's like they were ashamed of the kind of game they had actually made. Or maybe it was some weird publisher demand that they downplay the RTS part as much as possible.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I loved the first Costume Quest but didn't feel the urge to play much of CQ 2. Probably because I was playing South Park not long before it.

 

[justjim89]

XP glitch is getting patched next week so Brad won't have to wait long.

 

[daydream]

Alright, daydream! Costume Quest was my favorite of the bunch.

Right? It wasn't super deep but it was a good time, I thought.

The second one was a huge bummer to me based on reception alone. I'll still try it out sometime but the technical issues really soured me on it (mainly talking WiiU version here).

 

[Fox318]

i feel like people like trenched for everything that isnt the game

 

[giant_frying_pan]

A special guest has dropped in

 

[Kelas]

It's always weird watching people scurrying after them in online games.

Tempted to take you up on this offer.

Yeah it was a really fun world to drive around in.

tekken dark resurrection was a really good fighter on a handheld

played a lot of that

Yup. Played a lot of multiplayer with friends back in high school.

 

[Myggen]

Killer Instinct looks so much better than it has any right to be. This new shadow stuff is pretty interesting too.

 

[EdReedFan20]

A few moments ago they were talking about Starhawk and Warhawk. For those that played and loved Warhawk (and own a PS4), you can play it on PS4 via PSNow.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

KI probably has the best sound design of any fighting game, every hit has a really good sound to it.

 

[Twin Tails]

Excited for Aria, she has knee blaster.

Aw man, I need to go make one and fight myself.

 

[Zaph]

 

[justjim89]

Never fails. Fighting game gets played, I tune out. This is probably the last segment, right?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This mode seems interesting, but I'm not knowledgable enough about fighters to fully understand why.

[EDIT - That was a surprisingly tense fight!]

 

[popo]

"I don't want to see this! I'm closing my eyes! What is even happening, this is a kids game!"

"Don't worry, they are robot legs ... there is nothing between there. It's just metal and death."

 

[jgminto]

Jason didn't play God Hand this week?

 

[Liamc723]

Same, fighting games are booooring.

 

[Myggen]

Jason didn't play God Hand this week?

No, seems like he wants to do a Bombastica.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'm not a fighting game guy, but I rather enjoy watching them when two of the GB guys are playing. Mortal Kombat especially.

 

[ratcliffja]

Wow I'm surprised at how positive everybody is towards Splatoon.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Splatoon should be a top ten game for them I think!

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Between the Witcher and Splatoon it's been a good month for GB and video games.

 

[jgminto]

No, seems like he wants to do a Bombastica.

That would be pretty awesome.

let's not forget mario & dragons

 

[LiK]

Wow I'm surprised at how positive everybody is towards Splatoon.

heard it's like Destiny

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I completely forgot that was this month. Man, I really need to buy that.

 

[Zaph]

I completely forgot that was this month. Man, I really need to buy that.

Yes, you do.

 

[Twin Tails]

Iron Galaxy seal of quality.

 

[Tan]

This is really cool. Seeing Jeff's low short spam is crazy.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Yes, you do.

I don't know if I can survive falling down a Puzzle and Dragons hole.

Austin likes wrestling. This is just so good.
