It's not like the gameplay of ME2 was all that hot either. The gunplay is ok I guess but my god I just remember my time with it being running down corridors with stuff you can go into cover with shooting at really boring AI.

It may just be nostalgia but I remember having a lot of fun even with the gameplay of ME1. It wasn't tight to play but having an RPG with shooting mechanics was a big draw for me. I'll have to go back and play it sometime soon and see if it's just rose tinted glasses.

Hello yes is this the right place to jizz all over Jeff Gerstmann?
Heh, I'm only messing around no reason you can't like the gameplay of ME1 over ME2.
I still think you're crazy though.
And he's going to crush all your souls when he turns heel during goty and joins Brad for the greatest filibuster you've ever seen.
2 shots, 2 misses.
I preferred and still prefer the gameplay and combat in Mass Effect 1. That continues to be the only game in the series I can go back and play again, and the only one I actually like.
How big is your pale chub?
He did get me excited to try and play CKII again, but I just can't.

I just searched YouTube for giant bomb pale chub and got no results. For shame people.
Edit: I saw the festival stream live so I get the reference, but I was hoping somebody would have done a video of just that part by now.

I'm actually about to start Mass Effect 3, because Austin talked so positively about it. I loved 1 & 2 and all the negative talk pulled me away from 3.
Quick question: what's the difference between the 19.99 one and the 9.99 + 4.99 one?
The deluxe version includes Javik which is one of the best NPCs in that game. I would get it just for that.
Edit: Ah nvm. I just saw you were talking about the differences between the two deluxe versions. No idea, that's really dumb.

Yeah that kind of behavior is endemic to twitter centric "sick burns" valuation of debate. Even Jeff's tumblr stuff, with people feeding him the shit other people are saying, and then him dunking on them, is kinda ruined for me. As much as I enjoy a good monsterdunk, I kinda feel blah about because I bet people are going to see that and use it as fuel to tweet dumb shit at those RT people or whatever. Idk, I know Jeff doesn't give a fuck about what people think about him, but a shitload of people will use slights against him to justify bullshit.

Probably! I enjoy ranch dressing on my fries and I bought and played a One Piece Dynasty Warriors game.
Edit: I have the worst luck with top of the page posts, so here's vinny
If I say who then I'm almost doing the same thing, and also it's really not the worst example of that kind of behaviour. It just strikes me as really odd, but it seems to come with the territory on twitter. I can't articulate my problem with it very well, but if you're communicating directly with someone one second, and the next second retweeting what they've said to your followers and being like "this guy, right guys?", I think that's weird as hell.
Yeah, whenever I see a .@ or a mention at the end with a super long argument attached to it it just sours me on that user, especially if they have a few thousand followers (or more).

Actually, I would love to sit down with Austin and hear out his take on ME 3. There are things about that game, especially the way it ends, that I can't get past and I haven't heard a genuinely good argument that frames the events in a way that I can accept. I loved the series to that point, possibly my favorite game universe, warts and all, but ME 3 pushed so far past my suspension of disbelief in the closing minutes, way beyond anything up to that point, that it actually did something I didn't think was possible, it retroactively damaged the previous games in my eyes.
I already agree with Austin that ME 1 was the best of the series. I enjoyed the Mako sections (the real enemy was the ridiculously vertical terrain of the uncharted planets, not really the controls). If Austin could make a case for ME3, an argument that isn't built on strawmen, an argument that doesn't gloss over the heap of inconsistencies and holes, I would love to hear it because I would love to get excited about ME again.
I understood nothing in this sentence.

I can't believe the Jeff thread has close to 1,200 replies.
He must be getting married or something.

The gist of it IIRC is
Kerrigan becomes infused with the power of Xel'Naga and becomes a DBZ like Glowing ultra powerful being, she's literally a shining beacon of gold light. So they the last mission is against the ancient evil, and it's like Heart of the Swarm where you control Kerrigan to blow up these pillars powering up the ancient evil, and then she like blows him up.

Does anyone have a timestamp for this on the festival stream? I've watched the first part of it, but don't have enough hours in the day to keep up with all the Giant Bomb content sometimes.
Man, remember when some people would complain that GB was not putting out enough content sometimes... Seems like they've been consistent for a real long time now, and it's pretty awesome!
It'll be the conclusion.

Patton Oswalt
oh cool, i didn't know that
Not street enough
To add,
After Kerrigan becomes a golden glowing space angel, and goes supernova, it cuts to Jim Raynor drinking in a bar and human Kerrigan comes in and they walk out together into heaven or some white light maybe they just didn't want to render outside the bar
GBeast starting to produce content has made the sum total of the site's output kinda crazy.
Jesus christ Starcraft went over a fucking cliff. That whole package sounds like absolute hot garbage.

Life is Strange Playdate is on the schedule!
I really. Really. Really hope they finish episode 3. If they play for 3-3.5 hours, it's totally possible. Don't know if they'll keep playing that long, but damn is the ending of episode 3 strong. I won't be around to watch it live (yay midterms), but seeing their reactions to the magic of episode 3 will be a highlight of my weekend.
Plus it's one episode closer to the strongest one of the game.

So I opened up Origin on my PC after a while and noticed that they're offering something called "Game Time" for Titanfall. I didn't know what that was and looked it up, turns out they let you play the game for 48 hours (I'm assuming 48 hours in real life after you start up the game) without any other limitations, and they have same kind of trials for Sims 4 and BF4, too (168 hours with Battlefield, even).
With that and the refund policy they have on Origin EA is actually doing some cool stuff, even if I don't necessarily agree with the way their games have been lately. One weekend is pretty much how long I'd see myself playing a Sims game anyway, and just having these as ongoing promotions is a better way to handle it than Steam's free weekends.
That's why you play the cool class that's all about charging at the enemies and shooting them in the face with a shotgun. So much fun.
