Damn, just realized I'm working 99 hours the next two weeks. RIP video games.

99 hours per week or over the next two weeks?

 

[TharpDaddy]

Sooooooo, just the bombcast today?

I've been rocking the same avatar for 7 years now, even back in the GIF avatar era.

I don't change.

Fuck, Tennant was the Doctor 7 years ago?

 

[Xater]

Fuck, Tennant was the Doctor 7 years ago?

Of course, we have had two doctors past him now. And I even stopped watching because I think Moffat's way of handling the show got boring.

Please, let's not talk about Doctor Who. Let us retain some dignity after our descent into community.

Yep, now let's talk about which member of the crew we want as our Dad.

Is there an anime version of Doctor Who?

1. anime

Isn't that what this thread is about?

Same, which is a bummer.

As a Dutch person who has never once come into contact with Dr Who apart from weirdos on the internet I can say with some authority:

Dr Who is basically anime

I think it's the other way around.
Anime is basically Dr Who.

The screenshot descriptions are great, also not surprised when it comes to the score. Kinda shocking that this is what Ghost was able to deliver with a year off.

We get this shit in the same industry that apparently can't support another Burnout game.

It looks like the transition from Criterion to Ghost and losing some key people like Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry really hurt them.

That's pretty much the lowest score the game has gotten so far.

Bad scores seems pretty standard for this series. Hot Pursuit by Criterion was an outlier.

It's been a rough couple years for racing games if you don't own an Xbox One.

Driveclub Bikes is at least making it into the top ten

Despite some flaws, i really enjoyed Project CARS.

My experience with Project CARS mostly consisted of online matches where you spend 10 minutes qualifying only to have half your opponents drop out after fucking up the first turn of the actual race.

Dirt rally is a pretty great driving game that came out this year.

I think it's still in early access, but it's unbelievably good for an early access game, and they've been adding lots of stuff to it pretty regularly. The game feels phenomenal with a wheel, but I've read people enjoying it with a controller.

Here are some videos I made link, link, link.

Oh, that is you! We are Steam friends and you're better than me on every damn track, always very far up on the leaderboard. You and one Codemasters dev are the bane of my Dirt existence.

I also made a video once, mostly to test OBS, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPiZZ4Trp30

 

[OdysseusVA]

Looks like the TweetDeck issue from a couple of days ago is fixed. Reinstalled

 

[Archaix]

Everything about Need for Speed looks godawful. Low FPS racing game, always online despite no competitive racing, terrible FMV that's only funny when you found it in a CD booklet sent by some crazy person and not when you spent money on it, and limited options. All on top of a decent but not impressive basic racing model.

 

[FStop7]

Ironically bad is still bad.

Glad we're getting past the "so bad it's good" thing.

 

[Scizzy]

Are the fist bumps QTEs or just scripted?

Only if you're one of the comparatively few Forza fans in the world.

Drive Club and NFS Rivals have me all the racing I've needed this gen.

 

[SomberOwl]

Damn. I really wanted a solid racing game. Might still pick it up I don't know. But the Reviews for Need for Speed that are coming in are not too favourable.

Play/replay Burnout Paradise! PC version still works well. It's coming to XBO backwards compatibility as well if that's more your style.

I'm really hoping they will do a console port once it is done. I'd love to play that.

Guys I haven't kept up with alt+f1 because i haven't kept up with f1. I guess going to a race didn't work out for them?

Welp, driveclub was pretty great so now NFS is a must buy.

That Halo 5 / Angry Joe thread... so many people using the "Heroic is how it's meant to be played" line. Jeff's response to that sentiment is the best.

I have that game and while it's pretty fun, I don't think I get the obsession with it. It feels really repetitive and the open world really seems to hurt it.

Need a gif with a grunt getting decked with "heroic is how it's meant to be played!" as the subtitle

Angry Joe threads are always a little perplexing to me because Joe is not a good critic. He's just loud. And the "angry" shtick is the most tired, played-out shit in the world.

Also using hour count as a metric of anything other than length, like say quality, is stupid and reductive. If the campaign was disappointing, say why. If you hate the ending because it's a cliffhanger or whatever, would that ending have been better if there were 5 more filler Locke missions that don't amount to anything?
