I wonder if games should be rewarded for providing "good" DLC...

Why wouldn't they?...

 

[NumberThree]

With the game audio so low the (physical) drums sound real bad in this Rock Band QL.

The FMV stuff and the new guitar in Guitar Hero had me a lot interested in new Guitar Hero than Rock Band


but that song list for GH is ROUGH

Both song lists are pretty bad, but RB4 at the very least has all the old shit backing it up.

 

[tuxfool]

I mean in some GOTY award of some kind. Highlighting those that do it properly (CDPR) and those that don't (WB).

Also by good DLC, I don't just mean in terms of volume of content or content/price, but quality too.

The fact that Skrillex is in there is kind of great.

Giant Bomb used to do best DLC. Did they drop that? I remember Left Behind and Minerva's Den both won awards from them. It feels like there's never enough good add-on content to fill that category.

It's a shame there isn't more big expansion-style DLC. Most is just bullshit that used to be included in the game.

I think they did. they like having that category

I don't think that left behind did, that came out last year and there wasn't a DLC category last year. I think Brad said on tumblr that the reason they stopped is for that exact reason, there just isn't enough good DLC to fill a category.

 

[justjim89]

The Ballad of Ira Hayes is in Rock Band? I love Johnny Cash probably more than about anyone else on the planet, but that doesn't strike me as a very effective party atmosphere sort of song. Especially in terms of the parts. Johnny Cash lead guitar lines aren't terribly complex, the bass parts even less so and the drums are about basic as you could get. Maybe the vocals are enough of a fun challenge for some, but I can't imagine a song about one of the heroes of WWII dying in a puddle of his own vomit really lifting the atmosphere of a Rock Band night.

Dan all I'm gonna say is


One of Patrick's earliest trials was against a NSMB style stage that required wall jumps


And I know your brand of madness is more towards puzzles and intimidation but



just consider it


just consider the psychological warfare component



consider if there's any possible way in which

Spoiler

you could make the wall jumps move on a track

 

[Data West]

I don't know, the FMV bits they've shown of Guitar Hero Live of your bandmates looking at you like 'what the fuck' when you screw up seems like it has loads of potential

 

[sprinkles]

Drew's voice.. I think I'm in love.

Maybe I just got confused because they talked about how much they loved Left Behind so much.

Over/Under on Brad trying to get the category back so The Taken King can win?

That's gross nobody wants to see NSMB.

Were you not already in love with Drew?

how does RB4 handle those song export codes from previous rock bands? I have RB1, RB2, and Lego RB redeem on my account but i can't seem to find a good answer for this

Last I heard, disc export DLC currently doesn't work in 4. They've said they're trying all the time to add back all the DLC stuff currently not available, but I haven't heard more than that.

What the story behind "Police State" in the Mario Maker levels?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

What the story behind "Police State" in the Mario Maker levels?

We're living in one.

 

[Brashnir]

What the story behind "Police State" in the Mario Maker levels?

In the first video someone in the chat told them to write out POLICE STATE in blocks. They decided to go with coins instead.

 

[NumberThree]

Jeff also added POLICE STATE to his own Citizen Kane of Super Mario Maker levels.

 

[justjim89]

I can just imagine now some 27 minute long Game Theory video about The Mushroom Kingdom actually being some kind of communist police state.

Nope. It's a Super Mario World level.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Nope. It's a Super Mario World level.

Thaaank goodness.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I bet you could make some real fuckers with the SMB1 style, since you can't spin-jump your ass to safety or grab anything.

 

[LiK]

Nope. It's a Super Mario World level.

is it just spikes everywhere?

 

[alr1ght]

Dan has good taste to avoid NSMB.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

NSMB is by far the most common theme for Mario Maker levels, so it's pretty easy to get really sick of it.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

you can ground pound and wall jump

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

wah-wah

 

[Piston Hyundai]

you can ground pound and wall jump

which means jack in the case of the first move and a bunch of lame super meat boy levels in the case of the second

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

yeah

but

NSMB tho

 

[War Peaceman]

yeah

but

NSMB tho

nsmb wii and u are great games. Up there with World.

I don't think enough people played them fully having been (rightly) disappointed by the DS original.

dont get me wrong, i loved NSMBU but that's in spite of how terrible i think it looks. The old games have aged much, much better

 

[CB3]

Of course Drew can sing pretty well. I shouldnt even be surprised.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

if the nsmb tileset came with the minimushroom and goddamned ice flower you'd all be singing a different tune

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yeah well it don't so we ain't.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

if the nsmb tileset came with the minimushroom and goddamned ice flower you'd all be singing a different tune

The minimushroom is what made me stop playing the original DS game. I have to carry this awful powerup through multiple levels to unlock new worlds? No thank you.

 

[alr1ght]

was there no GBEast stream today?

 

[justjim89]

NSMB Wii might be my favorite 2D platformer. Followed by Mario 3, of course.

I just remember playing through that whole game with my gf and her daughter, and going through co-op or soloing the harder stages while they stayed in the bubbles. Maybe one of my favorite gaming experiences.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

if the nsmb tileset came with the minimushroom and goddamned ice flower you'd all be singing a different tune

yeah but the only reason NSMB tileset is even tolerable is thanks to the exclusion of the WAHWAH bullshit that makes the fucking enemies face you and fucking clap like stupid ass seals and shit.

so if were gonna play that game then lets play it from all angles

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I thought NSMBU was alright, but I got halfway through NSLU and just kind of stopped

If that's what you're into, why not play the newer Rayman platformers? They're way better than any of the NSMB games.

 

[alr1ght]

I couldn't play NSMB because of that tiny ass d-pad on the Wii Remote and Nintendo never added classic controller support in.

 

[Noray]

All the New Super Mario Bros games suck

Now that I have spoken this incredible Correct and Right Opinion I shall take my leave

you may think I'm a Hater but no, I only post incredibly Good content

 

[pizzacat]

Is the title from the upf where they talked about iCloud business marketing

 

[broncobuster]

you can ground pound and wall jump

A giant kuribo shoe can ground pound in the Mario 3 tileset. Wall jumping? This isn't N+
