I'm hoping for either Dan/Rorie or for them to just never do one.

Just to antagonize the fan base and see what the reaction is.

the backlash would be tremendous.

Dan wasn't saying he doesn't like Telltale games because of technical issues that they bafflingly continue to have, he dismisses them outright for even being video games. "Why don't they just make graphic novels? They're not video games!" is a stupid fucking thing to say, not to mention completely missing the point of the interactivity. He sounds exactly like the 4chan dirtbags bitching about Gone Home, and it's a bad look on someone in his profession. And like those kinds of fucking people, he goes into his little hissy fit about them any time they're ever brought up around him.

What are the frontrunners for Most Disappointing Game so far?

No Man's Sky

 

[mnz]

I honestly think the real answer is just that every single person on this planet likes a good story and there is a certain amount of people that consume their stories through video games.
They could make graphic novels, but those people wouldn't spend the money.

For the crew I could see Quantum Break being up there.

right, right, but what do good stories have to do with Telltale games

Yeah I agree that the last few telltale games haven't been awesome, but Dan completely dismissing the idea that they somehow aren't even video games by definition was super dumb.

The crew won't bring it up but it's Zero Time Dilemma for me.

It's what they set out to do.

DOOM.

j/k Doom is goty

game was fun but yea, the DLC has been meh. i haven't gone back after I platinumed it.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Quantum Break has that award on lock right now IMO. (strictly speaking in terms of GB's opinion, I haven't played it myself yet.)

 

[Houndi101]

Why no wednesday stream tho?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Alex's batman voice is great

If only because I can't tell the difference between his voice and Troy Bakers Batman voice

Unravel or Battleborn, maybe? Quantum Break was a good suggestion too. Someone might touch of a firestorm and suggest SF5 as well, I guess.

 

[Twin Tails]

GBEAST on vacation.

Only Goeff has played it no?

i enjoyed it quite a bit but i feel that is up there for Jeff at least.

Oh shit, I didn't even think of SF5. I could see that being in the top 3.

 

[mnz]

SFV is weird. They are actively making that game better but it seems to not reach many people outside of the core audience. By december it might have gotten several bigger updates again.

when all the SP modes are complete garbage, only people who play MP will enjoy it. even then, the online is shit with rage quitters.

 

[Meguro]

Yeah, Dan's stance on Telltale games is dumb.
Him hating them is fine since that's just taste and stuff but not considering them games is weak ass shit.
It's the "walking simulator" argument and really shouldn't be brought up in any capacity.

Next beast playthough? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1245076

Unless something major happens and No Man's Sky becomes more than a game about shooting at rocks and plants after like two dozen hours, I think it takes it pretty handily. All the hype, and it's a procedurally-generated rock-shooter.

Gbeast doesn't make interesting content anymore doe.

 

[santeesioux]

Quantum Break is coming to Steam, you guys are really making me want to try it out, lol.

 

[Salty Catfish]

lol, I love this bit from the blurb:

There’s also a Platinum Trophy and hidden secrets, including John’s scattered childhood Wooden Toys.

John's wooden toys? Sold.

Cool.

Back in the real world I think Vinny will be quite interested in seeing the game, even if he doesn't have time to play it.

 

[Wunder]

Any word on potential Beast stream today?

 

[LiK]

Cool.

Back in the real world I think Vinny will be quite interested in seeing the game, even if he doesn't have time to play it.

He'll def check it out and I think he will play it. He finished Witcher 3 and the DLC. That is no small feat.

 

[Houndi101]

Gawd why can't his kids be in college yet so he could Endurance Run P5 argghh!!

 

[2 Slice Toaster]

What is the last jrpg Vinny has touched or talked about putting any meaningful time into?

 

[QFNS]

He's playing those Zero Time Dilemma games. Those aren't exactly JRPGs, but they're not far off.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Drew Scanlon: probably the only person alive capable of pulling off a Guns n' Roses/figure skating pun.

 

[mnz]

Yeah, I think he played through the whole Zero Escape series.

 

[LiK]

Yeah, I think he played through the whole Zero Escape series.

he hasn't cleared everything in ZTD so not technically done yet.

 

[Xater]

Only Goeff has played it no?

Drew as well I think, and the rest did sound disappointed when they heard that it's not great.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I think if you're looking for something that's more of a space flight sim then Elite: Dangerous is a totally cool alternative.

Oh yeah, I've spent 600+ hours in Elite and still play today.

 

[bumclot]

GBEAST on vacation.

Weren't Vinny and Alex on vacation a few weeks ago?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I really can't tell their biggest messes choices; it's always some dark horse.

 

[Patryn]

Yeah, I think he played through the whole Zero Escape series.

I wonder if the only reason he got through that was that it was handheld.

However, he still worked his way through Witcher 3, as I recall. So I have no doubt he'll play Persona 5, it'll just take a few months to do so.

Weren't Vinny and Alex on vacation a few weeks ago?

I think at least part of the chunk of time Vinny took off was for his family given his cousin's recent death.

Mighty No.9?

Mighty No.9?

Mirrors Edge could be up there... Not a bad game, but a lot of people really wanting it.

 

[Data West]

Eh i kinda can't remember much of stardew's music.

Luckily for you, I can

 

[FStop7]

The thing that makes me eyeroll about game journalists now openly criticizing Telltale is that they were tripping over themselves to lavish praise when Idle Thumbs people worked there.

TWD S1 was legit good. i don't think they were praising it just cuz the Idle Thumbs guys were working on it.

 

[FStop7]

that's true, he's worthless because this is how he presents himself

are you kidding? Or shall I post some Dr. Tracksuit pics to remind you of how dumb this position is?

 

[KingKong]

if Jeff was Dr Tracksuit more than once a year for a goofy event I would think a lot less of him too. Wouldn't you?

 

[Phediuk]

TWD S1 was legit good.

Was it really, though? I think the accolades for that game were more due to slim pickings in 2012. Sam reason Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age got so many awards.
