Giant Bomb #14 | I'll Never Forget This!

Yes.
There's precedent for QLs that serve as "here's a lesser-known game I'm playing which I'm very much enjoying", QLs that are basically recommendations in the form of coverage. I believe Alex has hinted that he's playing and very much enjoying the game. So I wouldn't be surprised if they *wanted* to throw a QL up on the site, but yeah, tricky. I would have no problem with a video showing the first five minutes of the game but I think the driver of the QL should rehearse it prior to determine just a couple of 'safe' keyword searches.
And yeah, really compelling game. The narrative structure is acutely engaging, luring you in simply by virtue of expecting you to flex nothing but human curiosity. It's engaging not just because of the 'Memento'-esque timeline jumping and the constant applied mental dexterity required in order to follow that timeline, and make sense of it, and revisit it as revelations reveal, but also engaging in the simple sense of being an oddly freeform puzzle. You're guided by the game's structure toward solutions, but it's all very subtle and feels very personal. Less following external rules, more following internal ones.
Sure. @Volotaire

the people in the thread slowly realizing that bungie didn't change the price of the expansion to $20, but are allowing you to pay $20 on top of the $40 they're still going to charge you

I can't wait to hear everyone's take on the Arkham Knight business on the Beast\Bombcast. What a hilarious chain of events. Also the Destiny nonsense, although I don't really know the story there. Good week for some popcorn though!

Man, they're really going to charge $20 for emotes and shaders?
How the fuck have bungie fans not lit their headquarters on fire yet? Bungie seems to be exploiting the ever living shit out of their hardcore fanbase in a way that would get just about any other developer shamed to hell and back.

Never get rid of your own supplier.
The reason those threads "become legend" is also because of the sheer number of apologists that game has got. So those threads tend to spawn and linger.
but the best comment is of course, near the top (as per usual):

I want to check out that 11 page Driveclub PS+ thread to see the kind of people who are still into that game.
Some of it is just amazing. You'd think this was Bungie's first stab at their first game from some of the "give them time to learn and grow" comments.

We've seen the Destiny apologists infiltrate this thread too. Remember that guy a few weeks ago that insisted he was "ok with people not liking Destiny" while aggressively trying to rebuke anyone who said anything negative about the game? It's comical how weirdly defensive that game's base is.

QL: Payday 2: Crimewave Edition
is that dude still banging on about that? christ. me and myggen and a bunch of other people stopped following him months ago after he went on like 10 rants in a row about that shit
I just found out that the guy who runs the wonderful Giant Bomblr doesn't like Dan. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to go on in this world bearing the weight of this knowledge.

I'm #TeamRyckert and I must say I hadn't really noticed. I only found out now that I checked the Tumblr's FAQ where he goes into quite some detail on the topic.

I tried it yesterday.
I didn't really enjoy it. Then again, i just played the first track and got to the main menu.
The game itself isn't much of a looker either, which is kinda strange since racing games trade off of being excellent looking games. The snow effects were pretty nice, i gotta admit.

You must put on your glasses.
I wish it played more arcadey, but I'll stick with it.

Honestly, when the last few experiences with the racing genre have been from Criterion's games, well, you just have a really high bar regarding what a racing game should look like. Nothing about Drive Club looks like it's pushing the PS4 all that much except the lighting and the weather effects. Cars look ok, the track isn't impressive looking, and the handling of the car they start you with is pretty rough. Drifting just seemed to lead me to wipe out more often than not.
Again, these are impressions from the first track the game drops you in and I'll give it a bit more time to see how my initial impressions hold up but so far i'm not really impressed.

Within the destiny clan I joined when I came back for HoW, some of them actually it as a good thing and are thinking about spending the $20... its kinda crazy how into the game they still are lol

My problem with Drive Club is that I miss all the modern assists they've removed for seemingly no reason other than to prove that they're hard core.

even when i have the time and intent to marathon a game, i can't usually go more than an hour or two before i need to get up and do something else for a while before going back
a lot of my steam times are messed up because i just hit pause and come back half an hour later after making lunch or whatever

they've played it! it was an early xbox live indie game. i'm glad it's on steam now so that it can live on in relative perpetuity

Wouldn't be surprised if Payday 2 or whatever sequel comes of it just goes F2P. It very much seems to be going down the TF2 path of becoming a gaming as a service type of deal.
Expect a quick look of them. For business.

Between Destiny and MCC, I feel sorry for folks who like bungie and their games. Seems like a bad time to be one of those.

To be fair Bungie did the good part of the MCC.
