realistically I should have just finished the JP version at this point but this one is taking so long to come out that I probably won't have finished it by the time I have the Y1 remake in my hands
I actually just did the plant on the PS4, and I never noticed frame rate issues.
Guess I'm just less observant/bothered by them.

It's alright, many people hate the original TR games specifically for the controls which is mostly the same kind of hate that the original RE games get but eh, I loved the old TR and the new TR, can't the same for RE games though. However, both games feel extremely rewarding when you master the rhythm of the controls and if you look closely, the entire game is built around the controls, the only fact is that they don't tell you shit about anything nor do they highlight anything for you around the level so the entire game is filled with dread because anything can kill you. It really felt like you had to discover everything in this game which most equate it to chore and that's fine. I personally got lost in all that atmosphere and mystery.
I replayed the games recently and after getting used to the controls since I haven't played the game for more than a decade, it felt very fucking satisfying. Only problem is that it took forever to beat a level sometimes if you didn't have a guide haha. I love watching speedruns of the game, especially when they are glitchless runs.
All in all it isn't new when people hate the original TR games, most of the complaints stem from the fact that it has tank controls which people just simply don't feel like getting used to and thus deem it as shitty. For a simple example, try playing Resident Evil: Remaster HD on the new controls and see how much it breaks the game because the game, enemies and camera angles were built around the controls.

Jeff legit wanting his money back is the best part lol.
WARNING: NOT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR would make a great thread title if this clip was more timely.

Oh god radiation storms in STALKER were like the fucking gates of hell just opening up. I don't like horror games cause I can't handle them well. But the amount of post-apocalyptic nuclear terror in Fallout and STALKER are the most I can handle.

The completionist in me is dying, but I'm skipping to episode 5 because I'm a monster and I wanna know what I missed.

And they're not even up on the GB site, only the Jason EL is. So I'm guessing something went wrong with the GB archive? I dunno. It's weird.
Drew and Alexis went after Jason and also streamed for much longer. Probably was just taking a long time to process and then the weekend hit. I'd expect it early next week. No clue what is up with the youtube archive, though.

Gonna need a Dan stream soon to help me get through all this homework
Edit: oh wait it already started.
I was just thinking of Gintama when I was scrolling down the page. I'm glad someone else already caught it lol.

I wasn't too happy with the Hijikata mayo pics available. I almost went with the mayo gun, but I wasn't sure if that'd play 100% outside of the Gintama crowd.

Pshaw. There was a good five minutes left.
If they QL it, I wonder how quickly they'll correct themselves on the length of the episode. (~1 hour, not 5.)
Have they ever QLed later episodes of an episodic game? I can't remember it. I wouldn't expect a QL, but maybe a Playdate once Life is Strange is done or it will get a Choose our own Adventure push.

Hopefully the superior Peace Walker gets ported to the PC eventually so we can play that online instead.

Reasons I subscribe to Giantbomb: When I stumbled upon youtube channels reviewing elevators, I can tell myself at least they aren't about grocery unbaggings.

Its fun for doing stupid shit with friends, but its nothing amazing. Definitely not as fun as the base game, though I've never been a big MGO fan.
Even though I'd never touch that garbage PW again, MGS Legacy Collection definitely deserves a PC port

I can't describe it, but there's something about unbaggings/unboxings which are just interesting to watch.
Man, I've had some fantastic weird moments in FO4 today.
I found a random few people, one was held up. I talk to them, apparently they're friends but they find out one is a synth, I negotiate and everybody is happy. Then this vertibird in the distance takes off and everyone around me, including companion aggros on it. I have no idea why and I start panicking (vertibird has a chain gunner). While I'm hiding from the fire they manage to bust an engine so I peak out to shoot it down, and the fucking thing comes crashing down at my feet. Luckily only broke both arms and head hahaha.
The other, I was around Quincy where I hear a ton of gunfire. I run around to see what's going on, and immediately get attacked by some military? I don't know it was unclear who they were, they were fighting the Brotherhood and a caravan. Meanwhile I'm trying to keep little Billy the kid ghoul I found in a fridge safe as we find his home. Proceed to have this huge 15 minute fight involving a few named bosses I never had a chance to interact with because they were aggro'd already.
