I wish Jeff and Vinny could do this one.

 

[hamchan]

How they heck did they manage all the licensing for that Jump game?

I'm buying it just because I think it's awesome that Bamco is bringing this AND Godzilla out in the West. Meanwhile Sega is like 'um idk maybe if sony gave us money we'd put yakuza out over here'

I've heard it's just a not as good style game as Gundam EX Vs, but I'm just like 'yo it's a game with Yusuke Urameshi in it'

i don't know! that's what's so crazy. like, if you want it, i'd get a copy now because that thing won't be for sale in a couple of years

wait, what? this was high on my list of "things that will never leave japan"

I'm guessing that because they're all licensed through Shonen Jump magazine that Bandai Namco just needed the one Shonen Jump deal rather than getting each series license individually.

 

[Data West]

I was blown the fuck away Bamco put out that PS3 Jojo game over here. Like there was NO way with all the band names that I thought it would go through here and that there would be any demand for it.

Yet they did it.

The US manga licensing market has become much more consolidated than it was back when Jump Super/Ultimate Stars came out. Before, you had to deal with a bunch of notables like Tokyopop, Del Rey, Dark Horse Manga, etc. Nowadays, it's pretty much Viz and Kodansha.

Too bad it wasn't that great.

I just can't get over the dumb Assassin Creed tattoo...


Reminds me of the dude that works at my local grocery store who has a similar sized tattoo but instead of AC it's a giant Monster energy drink logo...

 

[Daheza]

It's a shame that the duders never figured out how to make a fun tabletop series. Two times in a row people made them nice character figurines and two times in a row they barely got used. It seems to largely be an issue of Rorie as a DM keeping things going forward.

It's not like there's really a ton of regular content week to week.

You are absolutely right. Hopefully we will get one from the beast team since Austin knows how to DM.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I juuuuust started the bloody baron storyline, and my initial impression was

Spoiler

that he got drunk and beat his wife and daughter? it seems like a lot of the clues lean that way but they don't really acknowledge that.

We should talk when you finish that quest line.

 

[TraBuch]

Hasn't GBeast mentioned doing some sort of tabletop thing?

everyone's saying it's not nearly as good as the ds games (super and ultimate stars), they should have stuck to 2d

 

[popo]

There's 600,1800,3200,4000 now.

Those are the ones they now surface as mobile, med, high and HD but if you play with filenames you will find they actually encode at

600, 1000, 1800, 2500, 3200, 4000.

1000 is a nice sweet spot for tablets imo.

 

[mnz]

Always found it weird that they don't let you choose from all that exist, I guess the others are for auto-mode.

 

[Taishan]

Anything interesting in Dans recent periscope? I must know.

no, just human

 

[LiK]

they sold me on Streets of Fury EX. looks way better than the 360 one. can't believe Benzaie is in it.

 

[hamchan]

I think you should abandon that podcast and start wondering why Jeff and Brad aren't in the superior Beastcast.

 

[shadyspace]

Alex's suicide hotline joke was the hardest I've laughed because of Giant Bomb content in a good while. Beastcast is straight fire.

 

[alr1ght]

I see Paul, an X-men arcade game, and wrestling. It's probably good.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Ha, I just got to the talk about brutal Batman and the clinic dealing with his broken victims. "You know Batman, just a heads up, we're actually just euthanizing them."

 

[FStop7]

Alex's suicide hotline joke was the hardest I've laughed because of Giant Bomb content in a good while. Beastcast is straight fire.

The one about euthanizing the thugs in Arkham Knight after Batman fucks them up was amazing.

 

[stump sock]

I think it's all but official that beastcast > bombcast right now

Spoiler

it might even be official

 

[Data West]

no way

 

[Glitchesarecool]

As we've already discussed, Bombcast just needs to stop being the Jeff and Brad Power Hours.

 

[Data West]

Jeff is the only draw Bombcast has, brother.

Except Jason. Jeff just needs a foil. And that's never going to be Brad, and it's only sometimes Dan.

 

[Xater]

Beastcast is officially top tier at this point. It's just so good. Really looking forward to it every week, which I can't say about the Bombcast at this point. I mean, I don't hate it but I am also not excited for it.

 

[Taishan]

Yep
Everyone is engaged in the conversation

 

[funkystudent]

Vinny casts are best casts.

Even when he was the only person left at Gamespot to host the Hotspot back in the day he could still knock it out of the park.

 

[hamchan]

Austin is the super smart guy we always wished was on the crew.

He also likes anime.

 

[Twin Tails]

Man, I should really listen to a beastcast.

 

[Frenden]

Beastcast is bestcast.

Yeah, I already love Austin. He was also a great partner during Vinnyvania.

I still prefer The Bombcast. Both are really good though.

 

[LiK]

Goddamn right you should.

 

[kai3345]

if jeff prime was on the beastcast it would be basically the perfect podcast

 

[Xater]

Man, I should really listen to a beastcast.

What's wrong with you?

 

[hamchan]

The only criticism that can be leveled at the Beastcast is that it's the opposite of the Bombcast in terms of how eager everyone is to talk, sometimes it gets chaotic since they all want to say something!

 

[Megasoum]

I'm re-watching the Arkham Origins quicklook while waiting for my food to be delivered...


Man going from Akham Knight to Origin is tough on the eyes lol. Origin on 360 looks ROUGH.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Cubetoons-era NVC and Three Red Lights were my first video game podcasts!

MAN, Three Red Lights was really something else. I didn't even have a 360 at the time, but it was something else. The level of not giving a fuck was pretty off the charts for that thing.

Yea, heard PC is the way to go for Origins.

 

[alr1ght]

Origins is a shit port. Lots of crashes.

i had one or two crashes but honestly besides that it ran really well

 

[Data West]

Yeah, I honestly think everything about the Batmobile is great except for the challenges. Like I don't mind the tank stuff and I think that the Batmobile is just as fast as gliding through the city and even if it's 'you shouldn't because it's not as convenient' part of the reason I wanted the Batmobile is because it's cool as fuck. It's an aesthetic thing more than a gameplay mechanic. But I think it controls well and is a really fun distraction.

The only time I find faults in it is whenever The Riddler shows up. And the fact that it's not the 1989 Batmobile.

i don't mind the Batmobile challenges for the race etc. but being forced to use it for platforming is pretty lame.
