Beastcast delayed to later in the day tomorrow:

That means the powerbombcast has to come tonight or early tomorrow morning. It has to.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

You know, I love the idea of a modern day online rpg shooter set in New York City I really do.

But I come to this issue with shooters being RPGs that I always have that never seems to fade. All those dice rolling, item statistics, crits, and other associated attributes of the RPG genre just make every single enemy in the game feel like a bullet sponge and makes every gun feel super weak.

I encourage you to at least check out some PC footage. The shooting/recoil model seems much more suited for keyboard and mouse, and the enemies feel much less spongy as a result.

MY FRIDAY MORNING ROUTINE IS RUINED

I can get behind this theory.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I really wanna play The Division now... shit. Curious how reviews turn out. The only thing that looks weird is regular ass people in clothes being bullet sponges. Dude in a hoodie taking 12 rounds to the head. But we'll see.

Edit: Beastcast will be late tomorrow.

Come join us in the Destiny Gaf thread, the official thread for Division!

Spoiler

I'm kidding. But seriously alot of my Destiny buddies are doing the beta and used the DestinyGAF thread to talk about it >_> lol

 

[Dineren]

I thought Destiny did a pretty good job with regular enemies not feeling like bullet sponges, but some of the bosses were terrible. Hopefully it's not too bad in The Division once you get some better weapons. I'm also a bit worried about the playerbase on PC since they can be pretty fickle.

 

[daydream]

they should revisit amiibo festival

I agree with this.

That's why it's good that I still haven't listened to the bombcast.

Recettear Endurance Run

 

[stump sock]

they should post another video tomorrow of Brad unlocking this amiibo crap too

Recettear Endurance Run

god I love that game

 

[KingKong]

The Division looks completely miserable, I don't know how people can stand to play games that were clearly designed to sink their hooks into them

 

[Data West]

Best coast never missed a Tuesday

 

[skLaFarebear]

The Division looks completely miserable, I don't know how people can stand to play games that were clearly designed to sink their hooks into them

Because they sunk their hooks into them?

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

So is Snatcher in the Metal Gear universe?

No, Metal Gear is in the Snatcher universe!

 

[SomberOwl]

Has anyone listened to that Kotaku Splitscreen Podcast? Wondering if if it's any good. Always have room to add more podcasts to the rotation.

Look, some of us are weak and need numbers going up to fill the void in our lives.

I'm more of a fan of Schreier on the page than on podcast. Gave up on that podcast after two episodes.

 

[justjim89]

Griffin McElroy and Nick Robinson have a new podcast coming out of Polygon tomorrow. As long as I've been listening to MBMBaM, I've always wanted to hear the McElroys actually discuss games, this should at least be close. Nick Robinson was pretty good in the waning days of Rev3Games.

 

[Twin Tails]

Powerbombcast is in the can and coming by the weekend!

Aw Yis

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Recettear Endurance Run

Now you're talking. Vinny doing that sociopathic Recette endless mode thing.

 

[Patryn]

It's funny. I found the Division QL renewed my interest. I just need confirmation it has a decent single player or solo content and I'm onboard.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

It seems to have automatic matchmaking for some stuff, like the 'rescue the doctor' mission. Which would be a step up from Destinys mission system.

 

[Tubobutts]

After watching the Amiibo video I decided to maybe get one to use for the new Fire Emblem. Are they region free? Because the American Lucina is $13 more than the Japanese one.

Is that like...twenty Griffin McElroy podcasts now?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I hope they actually make a spoilercast for The Witness. I think that would be super fun. Not the story but the puzzles and stuff. I'd like to hear that.

Gonna hop into The Division tomorrow, don't know what to expect.
My enjoyment of the game will depend on how much you need other people since I don't have any friends who are interested in that game.

 

[Anjin M]

Having to get up in time to go to work is killing my game and Giant Bomb time. Darn jobs!

I enjoy it, but I much prefer Kirk to Jason.

Spoiler

Sorry, Jason!

Yes, several of mine are Japanese because they were stupidly cheaper and in surplus.

Great! I'm going to buy exactly one and not get sucked into a gunpla like hole.

Or maybe I shouldn't buy any. I can't trust myself.

 

[kvk1]

I see myself going hard in on The Division.

MMO hooks implemented correctly in a Tom Clancy faithful setting is like the dream.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

This amiibo thing is infectious. I am in big trouble.

 

[hamchan]

So is Snatcher in the Metal Gear universe?

I believe it's in an alternate universe of Metal Gear where things went super wrong.

 

[stump sock]

man you guys weren't kidding about this Division = Destiny thing

 

[broncobuster]

I believe it's in an alternate universe of Metal Gear where things went super wrong.

Off memory, Metal Gear has about six alternative universes as it is.

 

[FStop7]

Division looks like a big step up from Destiny in terms of customization.

Fingers crossed they get it right.

 

[Incandenza]

Behold the modern video game:

Supplemental:

 

[Mister Negative]

The fact that Dan immediately defaults to "this is where Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels had their ladder match!" when thinking about Madison Square Garden is...somethin'.

Edit: "Are there any professional sports teams that use Madison Square Garden as like, their home arena?"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Lunar FC]

Dan saying hes never seen Drew in a hat?

How could he forget?

My exact reaction to all of that.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Behold the modern video game:

On PC the HUD and UI elements are fully customizable.

 

[stump sock]

good ol LORD OF SHOTGUN

 

[Salty Catfish]

We need to get Slimeball Steve and his holiness the LORD OF SHOTGUN in the same Division squad.

 

[jambo]

I need a gif of Jeff's reaction after Jason asked Brad, "Where does Napoleon keep his armies"

What time stamp is it?

 

[kvk1]

Can we give it up for NandoCommando75, who was a silent bro throughout that entire QL.

 

[Volotaire]

I wonder if Jeff, on UPF, will mess with the cancelled Saint's Row game that just released.

 

[Mister Negative]

I don't get the bullet sponge complaints about The Division. a high time to kill is more fun, imo. Especially for PVP.

 

[MadLaughter]

Is that like...twenty Griffin McElroy podcasts now?

http://mcelroyshows.com/

MBMBAM, Adventure Zone, Monster Factory and Griffin's Amiibo Corner are all required reading.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Oh man, I hope the NX uses these amiibos for something useful. What have I done?!

 

[stump sock]

It wasn't released though, right? Volition are just going to demo what there is of it on their channel?

capitalism ho!

 

[Mister Negative]

From my reading of that thread, they straight up dumped an ISO on some website.

I don't know if they'll have the means to stream it though, do they have capture equipment for a PSP?
