We could've had this, but with a womprat.

But why would I live somewhere with data caps?

Seriously. Then again I live in a country where such things fell by the wayside years ago.

I find it funny that even in a place like San Francisco you're still liable to get dodgy internet.

I think Drew is enjoying the killing a little too much.

EA now has all the assets they need for new X-Wing and Tie Fighter games. There's a space sims resurrection happening and they could sneak right in there. Using my business sense and my game development knowledge, I'm pretty sure they are poised to make billions. Just look at the HOTAS supply and demand on Amazon. Prices are up like 80% and CH Products has trouble keeping their sticks and throttles in stock. Now that's some solid data for their pitch!

When everyone came back from PAX, the main thing being talked about is VR. There are a lot of limitations on what kind of games could work in VR but you what genre is perfect for it right out of the gate? Flight sims! I haven't given VR much mind before, but if they announce a new X-Wing / TIE Fighter for VR, I'm buying a headset immediately.

Between the new movies coming out, VR, EA going big on Star Wars and games like Star Citizen bring big sims back, the recipe is all here, we just need someone at EA to put two and two together.

It's not like the game even punishes you for it.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

Time.

And data caps. Thanks, Comcast.

Why is this a thing for home internet anyway, it just seems absurd to me. I'd jump ship if there were other legitimate options, but the only other broadband ISP down here is AT&T and the fastest they can give me is 3 mbps.

God I hate ISPs.

In other news, I bought the Patrick hot dog shirt last night for some reason. There's probably going to be only like one person I ever meet in my life that will get what the hell is on the shirt.

 

[ScottSullivan]

Because you live in the 90% of the world where there are data caps on the internet? Shit fucking sucks, here in alaska im capped at 150 gb unless i pay 200 a month, since ive moved back i has to stop buying digital and lower my netflix quality settings

When he starts doing that I can't help but wince thinking about all the fultoning he could be doing. I usually have to play a side op shortly after an episode just to get it out of my system before I become one of those "you're playing it wrong" people.

It's kinda BS that they don't bother even putting NSMB in the voting. I like the look and feel of NSMB a lot better than any of the older ones.

Is SCOOPS' next Mario Maker stream tomorrow morning? I'm fiending over here.

I didn't watch them live but I thought they pt them but tried to dissuade everyone from voting for it.
I bet if Jeff did put it in everyone would vote for it just to see them suffer.

It's literally the only tileset I'll use. Their aversion to it is weird.

He didn't put water or NSMB in the voting, he joked about a bug with the poll not allowing it.

Here's a situation for you. The new content launches for Witcher 3 next week, Brad takes a look, is inspired to finish his play through, falls in love and prepares his trenches for the GOTY battle. What do you think?


Either that, or he touches it for a QL, laments the fact that he's let the game slip after all these months and returns to Destiny never to look back again.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

NSMB looks gross. The correct decisions have been made.

 

[mintyice]

Last year I couldn't even build a top 10 list of games I liked, let alone finished. I feel ok about including Mario Maker on my list.

I'm pretty sure my top 10 last year just ending up being every game I played that year since I didn't play much.

 

[Myggen]

I wonder how angry some people will get in the GOTY thread when GB largely ignores Witcher 3.

 

[Archaix]

Mario 1 and 3 are so, so, so much uglier than NSMB.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Nope.

 

[Archaix]

NES games are ugly as sin. People who think otherwise are like those crazy people who think early 3D graphics on PSX and N64 weren't terrible.

 

[alr1ght]

We must fight.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Furious.

But honestly, it really doesn't bother me at all. I understand the process, I know what turned them off to the game. I realize if the draw was strong enough they would have returned to the game on their own. It would make sense for them to put very little consideration for the game if they don't feel a desire to go back to it in the first place. I just really like the game and love to hear a little more Witcher talk at GB just because Brad and Dan were so initially enamored by what it offered despite its shortcomings.

You're ugly as sin.

Also NES music > SNES music.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

nsmb looks plain as fuck. I'll take the other 3 games every day over that. Each one of those games were pushing the tech at the time as hard as they could while nsmb looks like a low budget modern 2d platformer in comparison.

 

[daydream]

all four styles look fantastic

can't we all just get along

 

[Piston Hyundai]

until you can throw shells and stuff up in the NSMB style it can go fuck itself

I thought I was going to like the SMW style most but I think the SMB3 style fits the slopeless design of each level much better

 

[The Dear Leader]

NSMB is the best looking palette IMO. The NES stuff looks like garbage, World is about as good as the 2D stuff can get.

 

[DamnBoxes]

can't we all just get along

Let me send out this request to the internet, I'll let you know what the internet says back.

 

[mnz]

NSMB is the worst Mario has ever looked on console, it's awful.

 

[scaffa]

Some crazy talk is going on here, it's pretty obvious it's almost weekend.

Btw, NES Style is the best style. Suck it you NSMB Goobers!!

 

[Felix Lighter]

I said my piece on the SMB 3 vs SMW earlier in this thread, but everyone is ignoring SMB 2 just because it's not in Super Mario Maker. That game looks pretty damn nice but I'd probably still give the nod to SMB 3 personally.

 

[The Dear Leader]

NSMB might be the best looking Mario palette period, much better than Galaxy or even 3D World, those just look bland.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

NSMB might be the best looking Mario palette period

ahahahaha

 

[daydream]

do get back to me

I'll be surprised if they ignore it, but people are still going to whine when it is below Metal Gear.

 

[Brashnir]

NSMB U is a good-looking game. Suck it, haters.

 

[DamnBoxes]

GB #18 will be all K-pop Idols, you heard it here first. I am Boxtradamus.

cool you can admire the look of NSMB U all you want and I'll just be over here playing two of the greatest video games ever made

go ahead and enjoy that HD Mario though

This post makes about as much sense as the non NSMB games art styles.

If Comcast starts enforcing the 250 GB cap in my area again, I'm in trouble.

I don't know if K-pop is the natural evolution of Anime but I'm cool with it

I'm saying that the NSMB games can look as nice as they want, but that won't stop them from being uninspired platformers

I think Dan got bogged down with the

Spoiler

talk to all the ladies about Dandelion

quest which is admittedly kinda lame coming just after the Velen climax. But as soon as you get past that the quests that follow are soooooo good. The overarching story up to that point is simple enough that it wouldn't be hard to jump back in.

 

[mintyice]

Everyone knows J-math is the coolest genre.

I can enjoy those games, too. Your point is invalid.

Both inaccurate and irrelevant since this whole thing started off when discussing Mario Maker, where the inspiration of the levels is up to the creator.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

It's kinda BS that they don't bother even putting NSMB in the voting. I like the look and feel of NSMB a lot better than any of the older ones.

Their poll system has a bug [KS] in it that prevents them from including it.

[KS = known, shippable]

They just brought it back in my area for this month. Be afraid.

 

[oti]

This time I didn't watch the stream and tried the GiantBomb Mario Maker level first... I'm stuck and I don't know where to go.
