Sleeping Lesson

I agree, but I don't think it will get much recognition. Really a sleeper hit this year.

I have a conflicted relationship with gimmick posts from my years commenting on The AV Club.
I think Austin, Vinny and Alex is in SF next week for GOTY stuff, so I wouldn't bet on MPP6 this year.
I went back and played the first few quests of fallout last night and I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep going with it. I was pretty excited going in but I very quickly got bummed out at just how little the had evolved from their previous games, especially considering the generational leap. I'm really struggling to find things to like about it; combat, characters, quest design, none of it's grabbing me. Small things like having to load to go inside buildings are really bugging me. It's impossible not to think back to the witcher and how unfavourably this game compares in pretty much every aspect.

This shit sucks, the backstory that they force on you doesn't fit with the kind of character that I tend to go with in these games, it's not like that stuff just affects the intro either.
I got to a point in the main quest where I confronted someone who might know about my son and every dialogue option was just a variation on whining about wanting my kid back, they frequently manage to break any sense of control over my character and that's a real shame.
Just stop now. I tried to find it in 15 hours and just became more frustrated with the game.
I don't know that there is any way to make the story/lore distinction sharp and non-arbitrary, but I'd maintain that any way you cut the pie, Bloodborne has a good story.
I think Dan must have held back a bit how much he loved Twilight Princess when Jeff was crapping on the HD remaster:

Why? He said he gave it a 9.9.
NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 5 OF ZELDA GAMES FOR ME
That was crazy, lol
Oh I forgot he said that. Never mind then.
What I like about going through Dan's old reviews is that he's remained consistent with how he is today. Also he gave Dynasty Warriors 5 a 87% B so respect for that.

The backstory (at least, the male PC's) could have been a smart way of explaining why your character is proficient in combat and with power armor from the opening hours of the game, the latter being something that required training which was received fairly late in 3 and New Vegas.
Instead, it's a handful of lines of additional dialogue. And you can have a weak-ass character character with a law degree and low Strength, Endurance, and Agility stomping around in Power Armor the moment she finds some.

Fallout 4 has more in common with Far Cry than it does with The Witcher 3. And it's much more enjoyable when you approach it that way.

nah it was being crappy for me too. not sure if it's the player or akamai or some combination of the two.
both need work.
I'd rather play Far Cry because that is not a janky mess.

Welp, guess I'm going through Dan's Lawrence.com reviews. I'll be back with a mountain of incredible quotes.
I can see that even if he gave it a 9.9. His all time favourite game is A Link to the Past. He would also probably rate at least Ocarina, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker (even though he gave the remaster a 9.25/10) and ALBW over Twilight Princess.
I'm trying to watch a video and it just hangs and reloads. Sucks. They have been having some issues I think but hopefully this can be fixed soon. I had no problems a couple of days ago.

Has anyone here played Noby Noby Boy? Is it a fun game? I love Katamari.

that's something both Dan and Jeff share, for some reason if you go back really far with either of them, they say things that they would still say today.
I can respect that
it's like finding your own posts on a forum or something from a shitload of years ago and finding yourself agreeing with yourself.
yep. not particularly. me too.
Not really, but an interesting curiosity.

Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64 were all launch titles.
Super Mario World doesn't come "remotely close to the quality and excellence of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess."

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Twilight Princess is an excellent game, fuck the haters. How anybody can prefer Windwaker over it boggels my mind. Did people just forget how utterly tedious Windwaker actually is ? Looks way better than TP though.

Raze's Hell; 5.6

That score is too good. "Gameplay: B-", please.
TP is even more tedious. I don't like either.

You are insane. INSANE. Nothing is more tedious than Windwaker. Holy shit, I spent so much time jsut changing the wind, slightly oversailing my target, changing the wind back, slightly oversaling it again etc.
Give me 800 of those stupid TP lightning bugs to collect instead.

"Unfortunately, the rest of the songs sound like they were taken off of the BK Chicken Fries commercial." - Dan conveying the quality of Big Mutha Truckers 2's music in the only way he knows how
This Bloodborne DLC is great!
I was hoping Vinny would be participating in the quicklook, but then again I don't think he's even passed Gascoigne in the base game. Hopefully he gets a chance to play more of it. I'd hate for him to have no opinion of Bloodborne come game of the year talk.
