MGS4 really has no redeeming features.

Crap story.
Crap gameplay.
Crap structure.
Crap pacing.
Crap performance.

Hard to believe it's from the same man behind 1/2/3/GZ.

Still liking the feature though.

 

[FStop7]

Just as long as they avoid the anti-vaxxer crap with D Bryan.

Fantastic.

I got blond hair and I just dont think blond bears ever look good.

Its a bummer.

Jeff should be the broken DLC boss character

 

[Megasoum]

This is great

Mount and Blade 2 looks really good you guys, I hope we get another Napoleonic Wars mode

 

[robotrock]

This is great

That is amazing. Is it real?

Edit: It's real!

don't you think it loses something by being "good?" half the fun of that game is how silly and janky it is

 

[The Dear Leader]

This is great

I feel like I've never seen this guy wearing shoes.

Mount & Blade is so good, can't wait for Bannerlord. Aside from some stupid Cowboys and Indians thing a friend made me play, I never really bothered with mods, or even single-player - siege multiplayer is all I need.

It's great and all, but really, Time could've tried a little harder with that cover design.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Man, he's only 22?!

I'm sure it will still be silly and janky, they still had the funny yells after all.

There's some weird mods out there for it, I installed one that was supposed to be Calradia in the 20th century, and there were basically Soviets and Nazis with even the swastika, that was very odd.

who needs a lot of money when UNLIMITED ANIME only costs like $8 a month?

people are just straight up sending them GARBAGE now in the mailbags?

good lord...

[Lelcar]

Danny's such a fanboy...

Yup. He even listens to both the Beastcast and the Bombcast on a weekly basis. He's all about Giant Bomb content, it's awesome.

Also, Austin listens to the Bombcast. I'm not sure about any west coast guys listening to the Beastcast though.

 

[MassiveNights]

Those feet are horrendous

Also Danny probably consumes more Giant Bomb content than the Giant Bomb staff

 

[Mister Negative]

that could not look more like something out of a zach galifianakis movie

 

[Anjin M]

This is great

The only man who can be photographed in a VR headset without his mouth hanging open.

 

[funkystudent]

The MGS4 Courage is Solid trailer was pretty hype

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wik8taD5OUk

Also Huge spoilers are huge so dont watch if you are watching Scanlan 4 spoiler free.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That Time cover is hilarious, but I'm also really happy to see VR getting such positive mainstream coverage lately. I feel like I'm at the ground floor of the next big thing.

 

[Mister Negative]

I absolutely did not notice until just now that if you scroll down on the TI5 twitch page it has a little box that shows you all of the heroes abilities

that's super useful but i still have no idea whats going on

I totally agree with Jeff. Considering how many copies of Time are in doctor's offices and other waiting rooms, there will be a ton of people who casually glance at this cover, laugh at the idea of VR as some nerd fantasy, and then dismiss it forever (or at least a long time). I know the Internet tends to make mountains out of molehills, but this could potentially be a disaster for VR.

yet, really, when was the last time Time magazine has any true sway over public opinion?

before you answer, remember that you and I are former Time persons of the year.

It's not about Time's credibility in this case, it's about Time's reach. Every waiting room and newsstand in America is gonna have Palmer Luckey fluttering on a badly photoshopped beach background.

 

[mnz]

He doesn't like that apprently.

Also, wow at that paragraph.

 

[daydream]

that cover really doesn't make any sense, at all, unless they're secretly harbouring denunciatory intentions

'intern' is my second guess

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah that's pretty terrible, but I'm less concerned about the actual text of the story because not a ton of people actually read the articles. The cover is what could really kill their chances of catching on with the mainstream.

 

[Mister Negative]

maybe they were doing the photoshoot and were like "okey palmer look happy. look joyful. give me joy."

and this was the only thing he did. every time they asked for joy he just leapt up in this pose. so they had to run with it.

What i was getting at is that Time is neither kingmaker or harbinger of doom. And most folks spend their time on their phones these days, rare is the person i've seen in a waiting room flipping through a magazine in 2015

is it sucky? I dunno, i look at that and chuckle but i also read what it's talking about and find myself interested in the article inside. Chances are that the people who would look at it and think that VR is BS aren't people who were going to be receptive to it in the first place

It's ok, there's so many VR devices coming out that no one will be able to remember which one was on the cover.

I sorta doubt this will be a bullet in the head to VR's acceptance. The only thing I see killing VR is VR itself.

He doesn't like that apprently.

Also, wow at that paragraph.

He's too tall to be a halfling, dammit.

 

[Haunted]

That last sentence is great.

The competence of their cover photoshop artist is questionable, though.

 

[FStop7]

Jeff hit the nail on the head.

The TIME article is a straight up hit piece, for reasons unknown.

How Oculus and Facebook PR let this happen is absolutely inexcusable, people need to lose their jobs.

 

[Zaph]

1. Jeff writes the best headlines
2. The juxtaposition of Alex's tweet moments before the article went live is pretty great.

Wait, really? What is the tone of the article?

Regardless, I reeeeally don't think a negative article with a silly cover is going to matter at this stage. I think Jeff is really overestimating how much the opinion of Time readers matters.

[Freedom = $1.05]

ouch, yeah, what a terrible paragraph

nerds used to be like that but now nerds are like this!

Holy shit Breezy and Soundscream, you monsters.

 

[TraBuch]

Hey guys, did you know that Palmer Luckey, while a nerd, can still talk in full sentences?

 

[Mister Negative]

Picture this

a nerd

who doesn't look like he played dungeons and dragons

a literal unicorn
