And I love how Jason has to do pew pew pew noises whenever he's having a good time

he seems like a cool dad. new baby A. Striker is a lucky baby

He has Dan as the uncle though.

 

[daydream]

i just realised, op is missing jason's best moniker, 'island boy'

Just finished listening to the zeroeth episode of Austin Walker's RPG podcast, Friends at the Table.

They haven't even begun playing the game yet and I'm already engrossed.

Friends at the Table is fantastic and really makes me want some tabletop content out of GBEast (but it seems like they have a tonne of premium stuff planned already.)

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Y'know what game I would like them to look one day, Bust-a-Groove on PS1. Heck, put it in Ranking of Fighters even though it's not really a fighting game; it'll be more interesting than stuff at Toshinden 3's level at least. It's the game that got me addicted to rhythm games.

Having just gone through a playthrough to taste that nostalgia, looking at it now it's a pretty barebones game that doesn't have much depth in the gameplay, but dammit my 8 year old self loved that game enough to finish it hundreds of times probably.

Jeff Gerstmann in 1998 gave it a 7.6 which seems about right: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/bust-a-groove-review/1900-2546923/

Yes. All my yes. Someone email them stat

 

[hamchan]

Wow yeah J-Stars looks like hot garbage.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Anarchy Reigns was decent dammit.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

He has Dan as the uncle though.

You need a crazy uncle to balance out a cool dad.

 

[shadyspace]

J-Stars looks like a real disappointing follow-up to those bitchin' DS games. Is this the same type of gameplay as Dragon Ball Xenoverse?

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

J-Stars looking like a game I'd get for under $20.

 

[Twin Tails]

Why

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Why

He's casting frenzy.

Platinum Games are like the Neill Blomkamp of games and Bayonetta is their District 9.

 

[klonere]

So Google AI is obsessed with eyes and dogs.

It so fucking weird and creeps me out as well T____T

 

[Volotaire]

I hate those images.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Platinum Games are like the Neill Blomkamp of games and Bayonetta is their District 9.

If you pretend that none of their other games exist, sure.

 

[kai3345]

Platinum has made good games apart from Bayonetta

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Like Bayonetta 2!

 

[shadyspace]

Jason is TERRIBLE

 

[dan2026]

Jason's manga knowledge impresses me.

Dan continues to be completely clueless.

 

[hamchan]

People sent Dan all those anime like a year ago and he's only watched Akira. He should skip watching a 3 hour RAW every week which is mostly garbage these days and get on those DVDs.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Vanquish is a goddamn classic and MGR was great for what was clearly a rushed production schedule.

I still need to play W101 but i'm sure it's Japan's greatest hidden treasure. I'm sure of this.

 

[Twin Tails]

Wrestling is probably better than Attack on Titan.

Platinum Games are like the Neill Blomkamp of games and Bayonetta is their District 9.

But Metal Gear Rising though.

 

[Hot Coldman]

in your long career of making terrible posts, this is a return to form

 

[call_kotaku]

All the Platinum games are pretty great in their own ways

People just need to git gud. Even though I played half a dozen fighting games on the PS3 Anarchy Reigns was the one I got the most hate mail for, I guess because I played it like a fighting game. Outside of the dumb mashing stuff to get out of locks/stuns the game was a really well-executed competitive game that suffered a lot from not having the necessary optimization or netcode and in turn the player base to really flourish. I hope a bigger dev takes those ideas and puts it in a more accessible package.

As someone who organized a relatively large scale, GB community Anarchy Reigns tournament (with 24 players), with multiple phases (some footage here, Grand Finals here), all I can say is: nonononono.

You're right about that netcode, though. Atrocious.

 

[NumberThree]

I hate those images.

 

[CB3]

Dan pulling a fast one made that quicklook.

 

[Volotaire]

Gah.

 

[Data West]

But Metal Gear Rising though.

Is not near as great as Gaf or GB pretends it is


and I like that game. But it plays like a shitty version of Ninja Gaiden Black. And that was from 2004.

Yeah but really now how many games are better than NGB?

None, but most try to do something slightly different. The entire time you play MGR it's like 'why am I not playing Ninja Gaiden instead.' Every hour it reminds you of how it's not as good as Ninja Gaiden.

It's a shame that it's pretty much impossible to play emulated.

 

[rObit]

Oh man just saw the Trackmania 2 stream on the schedule. Gotta get in thurr.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

4 hours away though.

I was starting to think I might not play some trackmania today, how wrong I was.

MGR has better music than NGB. And you don't need to endure the peril that is handling the original xbox.

 

[Twin Tails]

Sure, why not?

 

[daydream]

^now that's just being wasteful

the buck bumble theme better be fixed tonight before the show starts

 

[Hot Coldman]

someone's being a clip-on tie rn

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Are there two buck bumble themes on the server? I've heard it multiple times on the server but then sometimes it never plays.

Maybe after I'm done with Twin Peaks.

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Ninja Gaiden in its decades of existence has a maximum count of zero senators that are not to be fucked with.

Metal Gear Rising has a senator who played college ball, y'know.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Maybe after I'm done with Twin Peaks.

i agree getting back to raw after twin peaks is a good idea !

 

[Kelas]

twin peaks is my favourite anime

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Maybe after I'm done with Twin Peaks.

Finished watching that for the first time last month and boy does it crash HARD during the second season.
