I'm actually more excited for No Man's Sky as it has become clearer what the game is.

I do think there is a good chance people will be disappointed.
But I never really expected/wanted much more than a near infinite universe to explore

The review thread is going to be a shit show regardless of how it reviews.

 

[BearPawB]

The review thread is going to be a shit show regardless of how it reviews.

So, it will be a review thread then?

 

[skLaFarebear]

The review threads that turn into shit shows are the only one's worth reading.

The review thread is going to be a shit show regardless of how it reviews.

Yuuuuup. If it gets positive reviews (my hope, considering how much Hello Games went through to get this game made), people excited for the game will exclaim they were right and blast negative reviews. If the game gets mixed/negative reviews, you know there are people out there that will be very pleased (which is a dumb thing to hope for) and will mock those that were hyped.

 

[QFNS]

No doubt any review posted about NMS is gonna be a shitshow. The review thread I expect will end up a graveyard of banned accounts after the flame wars commece.

Where is the bombcast?

 

[Tubobutts]

Where is the bombcast?

In the Lang Zone apparently.

Being recorded.

 

[funkystudent]

I wonder if / how they are going to put Wake Island into Battlefeild 1

 

[robotrock]

Pumped for a Lang bombcast.

 

[SomberOwl]

I wonder if / how they are going to put Wake Island into Battlefeild 1

Have they put it in their non-WW2 Battlefield games before?

The problem is that when's the last time a big AAA super hyped game actually got bad reviews? And I don't mean like 1-2 outliers somewhere but a general negative reception. I feel like it's never happening.

 

[funkystudent]

Its been in all of them but battlefield 4.


Edit. Wasnt in Battlefield Vietnam. Listened on the wiki but its for a mod for some reason.

How much Poke go shitting on should we expect?

 

[SirClinksAlot]

How much Poke go shitting on should we expect?

Hopefully a lot. I actually doubt they talk about the game much, just all the hubbub around it.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I wonder if / how they are going to put Wake Island into Battlefeild 1

I remember they put it in Battlefield 3 and after a week literally zero servers were running Wake Island. It's a terrible map for the newer games.

 

[Tubobutts]

I saw a commercial for the news that was talking about the dangers of Pokemon Go.

 

[Strax]

The space cops in NMS could be really cool or really bad depending on how they use them. I'm mostly gonna chill and explore planets. I'm in no rush.


PS. This is the weed game of 2016, right?

 

[Exterminieren]

Kinda feel they got the shitting on out of the way. They'll probably talk more about the impact and the ubiquity of the game more.

 

[Twin Tails]

Dave Lang seems like the type that would like PokeGo.

That's seems vaguely insulting so I'll agree.

Rez VR is still a 2016 thing right? Because if so, No Man's Sky is going to have to be fighting for runner up.

 

[Lunar FC]

Is nobody else in here really into it? I'll talk about it to myself in here if need be.

 

[wenis]

I play Pokemon Go from the comfort of my apartment.

 

[Tubobutts]

Going places is for suckers.

Last I heard Rez ∞ was a PSVR launch game; October 13.

[MassiveNights]

No Man's Sky is easily the game I am looking forward to most this year.

I love that slow paced exploration shit.

Basically the key is if progression is fun. I hope the sense of achievement is what I am expecting.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Bombcast really going outside the safe space for these guests

Johnny V should just crash at Giant Beast's rotating chair till he gets a job.

I think the last time I got emotions from a review thread was Star Ocean 5 (was expecting wild deviation, got concensus on hampered mundanity).

 

[wenis]

It is! Especially when I live around a couple spots. I have one conveniently located across the street from me and people keep throwing lures on it.

but nothing to see there. Literally nothing

 

[Data West]

No Man's Sky will probably be a good podcast game at best

Unfortunately, I have more podcast games than podcasts at this point.

 

[popo]

So it isn't that Gamespot is losing all of it's staff. It is losing all of it's staff to Ubisoft. First John "New Guy" Carlo, then Bauman and now Watters.

With Twitch poaching all it's engineers GS is becoming the new 1up.

He lives in LA, so unless he moves it would be a worse commutes than Jeff has.

Using my cellphone in public now leads to random folk asking if I'm playing Pokemon Go.

 

[alr1ght]

I'm surprised we haven't gotten a periscope from Dan playing Pokemon Go.

 

[Incandenza]

Is nobody else in here really into it? I'll talk about it to myself in here if need be.

It's fun. I've been getting off the subway a couple stops early so I can play on the way home. I do feel really weirdly self conscious about being seen playing it in public though. Thanks social anxiety.

 

[Tubobutts]

Another reason to never be in public.

Tell them you are just about to take a dick-pic, then suggest they hold the camera for you.

 

[SomberOwl]

I hope there isn't a lot of Pokemon Go talk since I get quite irritated when some of them... pretend to be more ignorant on Pokemon than they actually probably are.

Also I don't like it when they don't pronounce Pokemon right. Like saying "Pokeee Man" "pokeee mans" or Pokeeeeeeee mons". Like we get it your not into it but you know how to say it properly so just say it right.

 

[darksagus]

Wasn't Jeff into Ingress for awhile?

 

[Exterminieren]

I hope there isn't a lot of Pokemon Go talk since I get quite irritated when some of them... pretend to be more ignorant on Pokemon than they actually probably are.

I know where you're coming from- I get the impression that Jeff and Dan at least are quite a bit more fond of the franchise than they let on.

Certainly, Jeff's criticisms of Pokémon Go on last week's Bombcast bore a lot of resemblance to criticisms made by those who actually have a lot of affection from the franchise- more than I'd expect, at least.

 

[Twin Tails]

I hope they do Fru quick look. Kinect quick looks are always a treat.

I'm going to simultaneously vape and play PoGo.

Did UPF get taken down or something? Went to watch that strafe segment again and couldn't find it.

2016's Old Game of the Year: Witcher 3. Blood and Wine is incredible, more content than most entire games. And the UI adjustments they've made are great. Lord knows no one out West would play it any further, but Vinny seemed to really get into Witcher hardcore this year.
