I remember it being the other way around but I think thats because Seasons has a more straightforward structure so its easier to rush through if you want.

Eh, not sure I'd say that; until I played it last year I'd heard a ton of negative stuff about Minish Cap, and man, that couldn't be further from the truth. Other than it having "only" 6 dungeons or whatever, it's a gem and it gets a lot of flak for no good reason whatsoever. If only Nintendo had gone in that direction for the DS games...
I feel like the Oracle games are overlooked mostly because when people think of GB Zelda, they think of Link's Awakening, but people recognize they're good games whenever they come up in conversation. Also they were released super late into the GBC life, no? They even had a couple of easter eggs when played on a GBA, IIRC. But yeah it's not like they're the targets of underserved hate like I've seen Minish Cap be plenty of times.
Their order is all fucked up. Correct order playlist https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1eolj9LkdaDUewPCHoLKERaEBzgM6mxv
Heavy Rain and Tokyo Jungle are must watches.

It's better than both Dark Souls games! Demon's is the best, though.
It's mostly distraught Witcher fans lashing out, actually.
Everyone knows the Souls rankings go
Dark Souls 1
A massive gap
Bloodborne
Demon's
An even BIGGER Gap
Dark Souls 2
Haha this is great

Half of Dark Souls 1 is bad. The game should have ended at Anor Londo and made the lord vessel bosses optional content.

We just need a Giant Bomb GotY inspired objective rating system to sort this all out guys, don't worry.
if read from upside down, maybe. haven't played bloodborne though
---
so, anyone has this problem where you pause a GB video, switch to another tab, switch back and as you move the cursor down to click on the video, you accidentally open one drop-down menu and click that? just did that
The first half is the best absolute best content in the series by a mile though. It's highs are stratosphere's above Bloodborne's for me.
Yeah, we need a rating system where we argue for 3 hours and then get tired and pick a random game as the best
Lovecraft is atleast as dorkyBloodborne wins for not being dorky fantasy

You're insane, you're fucking insane.
Aww, someone's bitter that Bloodborne won. How sad.
I guess you don't like Austin very much then!

I should definitely play one (or both) soon. I've had a helluva Zelda itch lately.
Huh, I feel like I haven't heard much negativity toward Minish Cap. I thought it was generally thought of as one of the best handheld Zeldas. I started playing it a bit last year on 3DS, and the art style is so much better than the direction the series ended up going.

Yeah you showed him! Look at how nonchalant he is, it must be an act to cover how bitter he is!

The Quick Look will hopefully make that a bit clearer!
Do we know when the review embargo is up? At the same time the QL goes up on the site?
what a great site

According to Opencritic it's up at 10am Eastern time tomorrow, so yeah, same time as the QL.
Cool, thanks.

No, it's not a spoiler.
I seem to remember you overreacting to something that wasn't a spoiler recently, so maybe? Maybe I remember that wrong. Anyways, Brad has that reputation for a reason but more often than not, as with most spoilers, people tend to regard something he says as way worse than it is. As with the shit about the bear attack in The Revenant being a spoiler on a recent Bombcast

I hope Dark Souls 3 is good.
Dark Souls 2 felt like the souls equivalent of those level pack CD's you could buy for Duke 3d or Doom back in the day. A few too many parts of it feel real amateur-ish.
Bloodborne was a higher quality package but the lack of different playstyles meant it was 1 play through and over.

Yeah, the gaf threads are really great about letting people know when they spoil something. I usually don't mind too much but with the way Jonathan Blow's talked about The Witness it seems like he thinks the ideal experience is to go in blind, so I'm going to try and do that.

The problem with Brad and spoilers is that he doesn't think anything is a big spoiler unless he hasn't heard about it yet. Every time he brings up "this cool little thing that I guess is a spoiler but it's just so cool that I'll blurt it out" it's up to the flip of a coin whether the others can stop him in time.
And this is without getting into the whole labyrinth of mechanical spoilers.

But if he hasn't heard it yet he's like "DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME"
(I love you Brad, but you could use a little bit more tact here)

What is there to spoil for The Witness? It's a puzzle game with some subtle story stuff. I mean he will probably spoil how the puzzles work, but that's....what I want to hear.

I guaran-fucking-tee you there is more to The Witness than you think.

on the other hand, I doubt I'll be getting to The Witness for a long time if ever so spoil away as far as I'm concerned. spoilercast?
Yakuza Kiwami is waiting for me and I'm not even done with 5 yet :\

Some people in the Witness thread alluded to big stuff that changes how you view the game and it's puzzles. It seems that there is a whole lot more to the game then meets the eye. And personally I don't want to get puzzle solutions spoiled either!
We know so little about it that it's difficult to predict. I'm sure it won't all be line puzzles. In general I don't care much about spoilers, with some exceptions I'm of the school that thinks that if something is ruined by spoilers it probably wasn't good to begin with. I knew pretty much all of Breaking Bad before watching it, it's still one of my favourite shows.
When discussing something I think people, unless they give out spoiler warnings, should try to walk a middle ground: Discuss things freely, but try to not talk about bigger spoilers. It's a difficult line to walk though, if you're too afraid of spoilers the discussion gets worthless with people just dancing around everything.

Yeah, but Brad wouldn't spoil something major. Everytime I see people freaking out because he spoiled something I usually wouldn't even notice it. I'm sure he spoiled something serious at some point, but all I can think about are people freaking out because he "spoiled" the ending of Dead Island during a Dead Island DLC QL.
Then you shouldn't listen to any conversation about the game. There are like 600 puzzles in the game, in order to describe a puzzle game you HAVE to talk about at least some puzzles.

I thought Austin did a good job of not spoiling things for a game that has a lot to be spoiled in his Undertale review. Basically opening with like "hey, this game is best played if you know as little as possible, and I think you should play it. So go do that. If you don't care, read on."
Has anyone here used Tabletop Simulator to play games like Catan or Seven Wonders? Just discovered it was possible, and very much considering buying it to get my old group back together from across the country. Is it a good experience?

Mechanical spoilers are seriously a thing worth considering. Knowing how a mechanic works can absolutely change a person's experience with a game.
And yeah, of all the people on staff, I'd say Austin has the most consideration for both plot and mechanical spoilers. He's a cool guy like that.
