Australia is almost painfully sincere in Eurovision.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Ooh, is that a Load Our Last Save Vinny is hinting at??

Looks like it!

Australia is almost painfully sincere in Eurovision.

I liked when she thanked Europe for inviting Europe to Eurovision

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

He said on a show in the past few weeks that he would like to do a Load Our Last Save for Ninja Gaiden.

Looks like it!

Beautiful.

That happened?

 

[DamnBoxes]

That happened?

Yep, pre-Lemonade interview.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Look, we came in second and Eurovision and we're the winners of the Asia cup. Soon we'll take over the whole world.

 

[Jintor]

australia: both in europe, in asia, and a continent all on its own at the same time

 

[Zaph]

LOLS is back? Oh yes


and Eurovision is a joke. A fun joke, but a joke nevertheless.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Yep, pre-Lemonade interview.

Ok, I remember the Lemonade but everything around that is a blur.

Look, we came in second and Eurovision and we're the winners of the Asia cup. Soon we'll take over the whole world.

If those lame achievements are all you need to take over the world then that's concerning.

8 minutes into this Homefront quick look and it's already delivered

"is it a goof? Or is it a very powerful launcher of freedom? Hey Vinny, is freedom a goof!?"

 

[Xater]

So the new Homerfront is also a reboot? You are telling me someone though the Homefront name and idea was so valuable that they had to do another one?

I mean it's not like the last one didn't fail and Red Dawn always was a bad joke. That actually goes for both Red Dawn films.

 

[oti]

OH COME THE FUCK ON

Freedom Launcher needs to win all the GOTY Awards.

It's true. As a country, we aren't in on the joke yet.

(We were robbed)

i wonder if american sensibilities are viable enough to spawn a game from the pov of a foreign country (china? russia?) invaded by a hilariously overwrought caricature of the gung-ho aggressive america lead by god-emperor trump

that sounds like a good way to put your studio out of business

 

[Xater]

No, no, no, your sincerity is part of what won me over. I voted for you guys.

 

[kiguel182]

(We were robbed)

As an european I'm glad you guys didn't won. Yeah, I went there.

Eurovision is our thing, man.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Go drink some Lemonade.

 

[oti]

Every country has to go through this. That means you're part of the family. Greece got robbed numerous times.

 

[Jintor]

but muh freedom

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's true. As a country, we aren't in on the joke yet.

(We were robbed)

No, we were in on the joke, but then our pathological need to be competitive at everything took over when we entered.

 

[Zaph]

Time to pull out those Diesel jeans.

Unlikely, but Verhoeven managed to get Starship Troopers made, so I guess anything is possible?

 

[justjim89]

The only mod that would make me re-install Fallout 4 is a mod that would completely get rid of the fucking awful PipBoy.

Give me a SKYUI style inventory management and I'll play the game again.

Seriously, fuck the PipBoy. It's like they are stuck with a 1995 UI design for the sake of nostalgia. It's actively making the game worst just cause "they need to have a PipBoy, it's Fallout!".

I have good news for you.

 

[Xater]

No, we were in on the joke, but then our pathological need to be competitive at everything took over when we entered.

One day you might get your Germany entry from 2000 moment. Entering with something incredibly stupid and still being competitive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJgszpNj7dY

The first Homefront actually did well, it sold something like two million copies. THQ just had absolutely insane expectations for it, something like five million.

But regardless, a Homefront game probably wouldn't sell in 2016 even if it was good because the industry isn't the same as it was in 2011. People are sick and tired of "modern warfare" FPSes, and releasing in between UC4, Doom, and Overwatch just further cements how dated it feels.

Two million for a multiplatform release today is not great. Also it was critically panned.

 

[Strax]

How big is China in regards of buying Western Video games? I understand why movies want the China money but I've never heard of China being a big market for some random war FPS

Two million for a brand new IP in 2011 was pretty good, IIRC. At the very least it wasn't a flop.

I think they don't want to piss off Chinese censors just in case. You never know when you might have a hit and it is potentially a big market. China is definitely more dominated by F2P, especially League of Legends.

Is chinese dota still a thing?

Heh, we tried that too. Holy shit... 4th place as well.

yep, the chinese market is still a big part of dota, as are their professional teams

Whats the most public VR in your area?

Here every store that sells phones has a Samsung Gear VR booth for people to try and dedicated booths in the biggest malls. Only time I've heard about other stuff is when CCP goes to companies (50-100 staff) and lets everybody try the EVE VR games.

Are their playstyle still hated?

I don't even know of a vr thing in my area. The only place I could think of is the best buy 20 minutes away, if they got one of those oculus demo areas.

 

[KingKong]

Homefront looks like the most tedious game ever made

 

[kvk1]

Are their playstyle still hated?

nah, that was a while ago

the past year or so has seen a lot of korean talent try and make it in the scene, which is pretty exciting

 

[Megasoum]

I have good news for you.

Oh... Nice, I'll have to give it a try at some point.

You think FREEDOM is tedious?
How many portraits of Lenin do you own?

 

[Strax]

I know you are joking but freedom is the most tedious thing ever, if you think about it.

 

[TharpDaddy]

I like the gun customization in Homefront.

Also, not really a Homefront thing and also not a recent thing, but i'm so glad that shooters have lots of color now. There are few trends I hated more than that while last gen where shooters had washed out and bland color palettes.

 

[KingKong]

sadly none, but I do have 3 Apple logo posters

 

[MassiveNights]

Good god, Homefront looks boring.

It's 1hr38mins long! Fuck!

Ooh, is that a Load Our Last Save Vinny is hinting at??

 

[LurkerPrime]

Good god, Homefront looks boring.

Freedom has its price.

 

[Death Metalist]

That is a quality image.

 

[MassiveNights]

"Oh you're playing Besieged!"

Pretty good. Loving this QL.

 

[oti]

Every Freedom Stream will be a full play through of Homefront from now on.
