I love it. I thought it was just ok for a long time, but once I started unlocking the higher-tier combat abilities it totally clicked. I think it takes too long to get to that point, though.

Whenever I see someone chewing on a toothpick all I can think of is this scene from Uncle Buck and it makes me wince.

They should do a QL of Dragon Quest Heroes or at least play it a bit on UPF. It's a quality game that deserves more coverage.

I liked it, being surrounded by a bunch of dudes and chaining together strikes and setting them on fire.
Too much steps to join steam
Heart of Stone tho... Giant Spiders and Boars oh my
Been great so far and I barely touched the main quest, just messing around in the little areas and ? they added.

Well, he doesn't need to buy games if he's turning into a gamer.

As someone who thinks the Witcher 3 is the best game that has been released in years, I will never try to convince someone who is turned off by some of its clunkiness that they should continue on. If the characters and storyline don't grab you in the beginning and the controls are a huge hurdle, it's probably just not for you.
Personally, I found Geralt's controls to be awkward at first but something that you can totally get used to and once I had a grasp on how to deal with its sluggishness, I actually enjoyed combat as I focused more on other signs instead of just tanking with Quen and brute forcing melee. That being said, I can 100% understand why someone would have no desire to get used to that sluggishness. The one aspect of the controls that was a frustration for me from beginning to the end was controlling that goddamn horse, Roach. He did everything he could to get stuck on every little damn thing. Anytime I'd whistle for him, he'd find some way to spawn in the most awkward location imaginable.
I absolutely adore the game though. Nothing came close to dethroning it for me, even though I thoroughly enjoyed MGSV for pretty much the complete opposite reasons.

For a second I thought you were talking about the Bombcast, but nothing stops the Bombcast!

the witcher games cannot shake off their eurojank nature. I still need to play TW3 but TW2 was such a fantastic experience that i could overlook how technically messed up it was at times. I dunno, i've played worse so the jank doesn't bother me much

This and the movement kind of killed my interest even if the story is godlike.
Anyone can link me to a hard drive for a Wii U that's not that big(since it's the wii U and I don't intend to download that much) that comes with everything I need? Basically so I don't have to buy a Y cable
Just getting what I wanted I spent about 160 and thats just the base game and the two play sets. I regret that a lot more than Tony Hawk despite enjoying the game mostly

I wonder how much cash Jason is going to pump into the Friday the 13th Kickstarter.
how could you think it was anything other than alt-f1
the paragons of comedic innovation in this thread make it so that it's probably more often referred to as "podcast" than its actual name

My issue with Lego Dimension is, with Amiibo/Skylanders/Disney Infinity you're getting a cool figure at the least. They seem pretty solidly made and are detailed. Lego are just so simple that I can't imagine getting any real satisfaction from the figures for the game. Lego figures have to look like Lego so they can't be very detailed or complex. It's a basic looking Lego figure on a stand, as opposed to a detail figured for the other games.
Same. Also I was playing on PS4 and at the time (not sure if patches resolved this) it chug-a-lugged quite a bit.

And Dan Tweeted last night that he was recording the Bombcast, which kept him from checking Patrick's stream.
It was just for a second. I have 4 long days at the board game fair behind me. Give me some slack.
I think exactly the opposite. I think the Lego approach is way better, because it actually adds play to the figure part. Calling those other things toys always was a stretch to me. They are figures and not really great to play with. The Lego stuff you have to build and you can just use to do normal Lego stuff with.

I've been monked, you were one of the people who suggested making one.
If it's a unique set I can see the appeal of it, other than that I agree with you.
The movement is such trash, and Roach was even worse.
As for the combat, I find it merely serviceable.

Premium members get to vote on Jeff Jr's middle name, I'm donating a thousand dollars so that Jeff has to refer to his son as the double J King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett.

We talking avatar bet or cash money bet?
Why is this a question?

I'll go one further and say that it's the first game that gets mentioned specifically in the context of Brad not being there to talk about it.

why not both? im that confident that Destiny will get at least one mention, even if it's in a passing sense

I won't do money but i'll do avatar. Brad usually starts the Destiny discussion. I think Dan and Jeff will have been too preoccupied with Mario Maker and other games to bring it up.
2 week bet?

sure, but i'll be honest, i dont even have avatars on so it doesnt matter to me either way lol

It's not a problem, you have a problem!
After beating Myggen I want to find a use for the other avatars in my "Myggen anime avatars" folder.
Pft that's a bit against the spirit of it but fine.
Dan mentioned his interest waned after watching the raid. Jeff doesn't usually play more after he does the raid. I doubt Drew has been playing it in his free time.

Witcher 3 was nearly my GOTY but then MGS5 happened and I spent a hundred hours putting balloons on things. I slid down a hill in a cardboard box. I exploded an entire squad by shooting a rocket punch. I made my horse poop on command. I made my dog put balloons on things. I shot unconscious men in the crotch with a water pistol. I hid in a portie pottie and played a tape of a man having explosive diarrhea. I learned the secret to the perfect burger. I put a sticker of an anime lady on a cardboard box and used it to distract Russian Spetsnaz special forces before putting balloons on them.
Mechanics > story, any day. Witcher 3's is so well done it takes number 2 on the GOTY list though.

Never bet against Brad. Brad is absent so chaos ensues, anything is possible.
