I don' think I played a single mission during daytime. I can see enemies just fine during night and they can't see me

Same here. I never had any reason to not go in at night.

MGScanlon has never been about precise play so why are people focusing on that now? If anything it's about the exact opposite of a precise play.

Like really, at some point, unless you actually can't advance due to the way you play there's no wrong way to play a game.

I just can't handle obvious bad advice. Drew should be smarter than that.

Listening to old bombcasts where Patrick played it for the first time made me remember how incredible Blood Money was and how bad absolution was.

I was not there, but I know this is how it went down;

"You know the boring part of our mission design where you're making your way from Point A to B before the actually fun, interesting part happens? What if we made a whole bunch of missions only that first bit."

"I dunno, is there any other way we can get things further from what people actually enjoy about these games?"

"Well, people like the Agency stuff and the international conspiracies and intrigue in these games. What if instead we introduce a kid you need to babysit or recover from a Yosemite Sam motherfucker for most of the game? Also killer nuns."

Want to say i heard the guards were less likely to be armored during the day, but I don't know if thats true.

I was good at sending people out on missions to destroy enemy equipment, so I never ran into too much trouble.

It seems like Patrick is making progress on the Ryckoning. I hope he manages to beat Dan's bullshit.

 

[Jintor]

could you repeat that a bit closer to my chest

I WOULD LIKE TO BUY THESE ILLEGAL GUNS

WITH THIS STOLEN MONEY

 

[stump sock]

I remember liking Absolution but then I remembered that's because I basically just played the chinatown and barbershop levels a million times each

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I remember liking Absolution but then I remembered that's because I basically just played the chinatown and barbershop levels a million times each

The only good levels in the game. Coincidentally they were also the levels that were used pre release to claim that the game was still Hitman.

 

[Incandenza]

Wouldn't it have been great if Drew had killed Quiet

"Oh she's so cool Drew. She's my favorite. I think you could kill her here but I've never heard of anyone doing that, you'd have to be a maniac--"

BLAP

 

[Antiwhippy]

You gotta remember MGScanlon 1-3 man.

Is he really smarter than that?

I also only paid $5 for it, so two great missions was a reasonable return on investment.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Guys I finished Undertale. If that isn't in the top 3 games on GB's list I hope Austin quits or starts a mutiny

Dan really seemed to enjoy it, so I think it makes the list. More of the other duders need to play it for sure.

the part where it's like... 5 hours long should make it an instant play for Vinny

That sounds like a decent price for it, especially because those missions were more repeatable.

 

[Antiwhippy]

But for $5 you could have bought nekopara vol 1. on steam today.

What's the mission where people are drinking outside and there's a house and something you could do with a pizza. Because I remember that one being alright.

Thats just life done the right way.

 

[Jintor]

the greaser mission. potential to be good but it's cut into far too small stages to be able to do anything

i think that is the barbershop mission actually

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Be sure to look up the stuff you missed, there's some more crazy stuff to see.

I'm pretty sure that's the barbershop level.

 

[demidar]

The other stuff is just absolutely nuts.

Uhh anyway Undertale is a pretty good game but manage your expectations.

 

[Kelas]

Yeah I looked it up and it definitely is. I don't think I spent much time in the actual barber's area of that map at all; just did all my sneaky business around the tv area.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Scoops is ready. I think he cracks it today.

 

[MassiveNights]

The Best Buy checkout clerk assumed Jeff was buying Lego Dimensions for his kid. Jeff never corrected him.

Hahahahaha

 

[TheMrPliskin]

The other stuff is just absolutely nuts.

Uhh anyway Undertale is a pretty good game but manage your expectations.

I don't even know what other stuff that you're alluding to, but it probably is nuts.

POP QUIZ HOTSHOT
From what episode of what series does Jeff say "ghost truck!"?

ummm... TNT Dead Island?

 

[Jothel]

ummm... TNT Dead Island?

Well that was quick... Yep! I'll think of something harder

 

[erawsd]

Well how is Drew supposed to develop his favoured approach when Dan's constantly telling him what to do >_>

Using those slams he's been pushing on him is just shit, for example.

I bet if they were to play The Last of Us together, Dan would push fucking bottles on him or something instead of the superior bricks.


But yeah, the ipad does seem to distract Dan a bit and lets Drew breathe more.

I don't really see Dan crossing any lines in this episode. Dan is constantly telling Drew how he did things because Drew is constantly asking for advice. The only moment where he really tries to tell Drew what to do is when hes picking the deployment point, and I think saving Drew some time and frustration of trying to traverse that terrible "open world" map is exactly when he should speak up.

Also, Drew played TLOU by putting it on easy so he could just shoot his way through the whole thing. I think you guys may be expecting too much from him.

 

[hamchan]

Honestly, if I was bothered by people playing video games badly I wouldn't be a Giant Bomb fan.

 

[stump sock]

you make an excellent point.

the greaser mission. potential to be good but it's cut into far too small stages to be able to do anything

i think that is the barbershop mission actually

that section is broken up into several missions, but the actual assassination mission at the barbershop is the good one. It was basically an unreleased Blood Money mission.

 

[daydream]

Well that was quick... Yep! I'll think of something harder

"wait, hold on."
"i'm blowing up."
"hold on, i don't have an animation for this."

oh wow this is a pretty decent bundle

 

[Jeevesmeister]

I discovered if you snipe from far enough away in MGSV they'll call in an attack chopper to hunt you down, and this was after 110-120+ hours of play so while I can't entirely fault Dan for giving Drew bad advice in a Metal Gear game I know I'd go insane if I tried to watch it.

Re-upped my sub to watch Metal Gear Scanlon 4 because I missed that game and good lord I forgot how bad Drew is at games.

jeff's championing of legend of kage continues to baffle me

game was never good

also, hamster puts effort in the ports now, never thought i'd see the day!

Did he almost just slip up and say "when I went into the...uhh" and almost say editor?

game was always trash, but it was also kind of cool as shit? hard to explain why.

 

[BolognaSoup]

He's got it. Although he thinks you go back down to get the fire flower rather than up and around the flame spike death trap.

 

[mintyice]

Did he almost just slip up and say "when I went into the...uhh" and almost say editor?

And then magically come up with the solution? Uh yup.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Actually the most devious part of this level is that Dan is forcing Patrick to work his way over all those music blocks.

 

[BolognaSoup]

I'm just glad this level was made in the SMW underground theme because it's the music that is least annoying after hours and hours.
