GOTY material?
I think that's art.

I feel like Wattam is the answer to a question nobody ever dared to ask.

I really like that no one has any fucking clue what the game is actually going to be, but we're all excited as hell for it.
That's just my reaction to anything Keita Takahashi does at this point. Such a wonderful weirdo.

You know, good on Jaffe for knowing what works for him and just doing his thing. Sure, his thing is basically postal meets splatoon but by god let him have it

Wow that writing is almost good as game-who-must-not-be-named.

Oh no Jaffe, what are you doing? I liked your games. This is no good.

Yikes. I don't think I'll be playing Drawn to Death, but I really look forward to the quick look.
To me that is impossible to understand. They sound nothing alike to me.

The Home Improvisation QL is great.

Not sure about a lisp but his voice is more nasal. Also he (Austin) talks pretty fast and Jeff Balaklava talks louder and slower. If they were in a buddy junky movie then JEff would be the stoner and Austin would be doing lines of coke off of a DVD case.

Well Lufratusers at least shouldn't take long to "finish". Unless you want to keep replaying to get highscores, you can get through the majority of it in a couple of hours.
I'm not surprised by those kill screens. Jaffe seems to be going for a very 90s, early 00s "this is what teens thought were edgy" feel with that game. I'm sure the bad writing is at least somewhat intentional.
I won't touch that game because it does nothing for me, but I can kinda see what he's going for.

well the terrible writing in Hatred is intentional, too.
Doesn't make it any less awful.
The sad thing about this game is that in a post-hatred world people are going to keep comparing it to that game, especially with shit like BUTT-FUCK YOU ANYWAY.
I mean if you want to see stupid writing that's enjoyable there are the last two saints rown games i suppose.
Yeah, I didn't mean to say that the writing looks good or anything. The "buttfuck" thing is especially cringe worthy.
I think the jury is still out on whether the writing in Hatred is intentionally bad. From what they've said the game's main goal has always been FUCK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, so it seems strange to then go and make a game with intentionally bad dialogue. More likely it's some Polish(?) devs who's trying to write something edgy, but it ends up sounding corny as shit because their English leaves a lot to be desired.
This duck game on the other hand looks really cool, and the QL is pretty great.

well, it's the combo of teenage level writing combined with a self serious tone. God of War is actually a well told tale whereas who cares what excuse you need to have cars blow each other up?
the difference is that the writing in those games isn't trying to shock you or get a reaction out of you like this terrible shit is. They aren't bulletpoints in the grand scheme of either game like they are for Drawn to Death.
I'd have to disagree on all fronts. This looks like exactly the sort of thing that I'd expect the person behind God of War to think is cool.

but brah god of war is actually kinda cool, or at least was back when it came out. why you hating?

The core gameplay in God of War is better executed in actual character action titles though.
I do love the boss designs though.

The first game at least made Kratos a sympathetic character. You want to see what his story is, why he is so angry, what set off the current chain of events (no pun intended). It's a story about loss and coping terribly with it. It's actually Jaffe's most mature work, which i suppose you can take that whatever way you please.
By God of War 3, Kratos basically breaks bad and becomes the villain and annoyingly so. He's just angry to the point of being a fucking idiot and all sympathy for his character is tossed out the window in favor of a 6-8 hour greek god snuff film where you want to punch him through the TV screen.

Jeff judging the suitably of all the tracks he's listening to as potential walk-on music for executives at E3 conferences is quite compelling.

I can't listen to these live drives any more. It's just shitty music being played and jeff occasionally saying something interesting.
Totally on board for more call in days though.

People, buy this shit now if you haven't played it. But don't read anything about it.

^ It's a great game, completely unique. I don't think anything's ever come close to it.
were you in high school when God of War came out?

I get what he is going for as well, but it just comes off as awkward and not good. I will probably still play it because I expect it to be a fun MP time just like Twisted metal was. I like some of his design sensibilities in that regard.

Dan however, is the worst.
Yeah, I don't see who it's trying to appeal to. The people who would have found it appealing when they were 14 in 1990 aren't 14 anymore, and it's not 1990 anymore. It's a game designed around a demographic that can't possibly exist anymore, except in the case of a few people who never grew out of it.

I really like how pretty much everything on the Beastcast is a conversation. Everyone jumps in on it and it becomes a conversation. Not saying anything against the Bombcast, it just makes it really noticeable and fun to listen to.
