Is the stream of Jeff playing Burnout Paradise mentioned on the bombast available anywhere?

So what's going to stop Hitman from winning GOTY?

Give you a hint - it's got four letters and rhymes with room.

Not "what", "who":

Poon?

You're right. That game has been out of my periphery for awhile now so I blanked on it. That's probably the favorite.

Hitman should benefit from having such a long tail but Doom is probably #1 for Jeff and Brad and everyone on staff will likely have played it to completion which is super rare for the site. Both are great choices.

No Deus Ex QL this week, damn video embargoes.

thank gawd Dan is still on Beastcast.

By the time the press can show video there will be hours of content out by everyone else.

 

[mnz]

Having reviews out before videos seems like a bad idea.

I'm left with the feeling that a sequel to Human Revolution could've told a more engaging story, but at the same time I had a really great time crouch-walking through Prague.

Stealth games in a nutshell. I love 'em

Which means I'll probably love it. Human Revolution was my GOTY when it came out.

 

[hamchan]

Looking like another good Deus Ex game.

Yup, I'm sold. More Deus Ex is exactly what I wanted so I'm in on day one.

The story in Deus Ex has always been nonsense, but that is kind of a shame

 

[Xater]

For me Deus Ex was always more about fun stealth gameplay with a decent story. I'm a big Deus Ex fan and I wouldn't consider any of the stories particularly great. The first one is a mess if you go back to it.

 

[MassiveNights]

Brad is getting better at Hitman but he still has no idea when he is trespassing or what the dots on the mini map mean so it's still great.

I think he must have a blind spot for the bottom left of the screen. Maybe Jason put a sticker there or somethinng.

 

[Archaix]

Such a huge surprise too. Who could have imagined the aug lives matter/robotic apartheid storyline wouldn't be interesting.

Oh.

Everyone?

Right. Everyone. Forgot about them.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I enjoyed Hunan revolution so if I can tear myself away from overwatch for a minute I might get this.

 

[NumberThree]

The story in Deus Ex is the best kind of nonsense, though.

 

[LiK]

i honestly never cared about Human Revolution's story much. it was actually pretty bad, iirc. but i loved the stealth gameplay. so i'll go into Mankind Divided the same way.

 

[Antiwhippy]

The only story thing I remembered about hunan revolution was the homeless lady talking jive and punching the hip hop dancer in the face.

I need to get to playing this game ASAP.

 

[LiK]

listening to Beastcast, yep, NMS will not be in top 10 at all. bet it'll be in most disappointing. maybe not the winner but runner-up at least.

 

[Maiorum]

That NMS trailer reminded me why I was excited for it. Shame it fell so short.

 

[Meneses]

Have they said exactly what that Summer Games stream will be? All i've heard was Danny is probably making an appearance.

Trying to decide if i'm getting home early to watch it, but if it's just that Overwatch crap i'll just skip it.

Dan tricks them and plays Mario Party with the NYC crew.

Remember when in HR it seemed like it was going to be a corporate espionage story and then it went full illuminati?

I cannot wait for what the fuck Mankind Divided does and just pray that it doesn't end with button choices.

Well it was bound to go there. I mean that's the main thing of Deus Ex.

HR was my first Deus Ex game so it kinda spun me for a loop.

Loved this game. I think it was the first adventure game I ever played. Vinny should do a video on it.

 

[MG310]

SFV probably became unstoppable after they dropped the story mode and added a new layer of disappointment months later.

Unless remasters are allowed in which case Activision broke Jason's heart. Has me worried about that CoD 4 remaster too.

 

[Exterminieren]

NMS probably won't get Most Disappointing, but only because I never got the sense any of them were all excited for it at all.

SFV's got this locked down.

SFV's gameplay is really good. I hope that would be enough to not get that award.

oh god what if they do Mario Party 6 but on a map that doesn't suck

Have you seen/read where the original Deus Ex goes since then?

Deus Ex is so good. Too bad they can't seem to nail the atmosphere in the new ones

It would be interesting if they play one of the handheld Mario party games since they might not look at them for the Mario party party.

I haven't listened yet, but Alex gave some of the most positive impressions I've heard last week. Surprised to hear the tone changed so much.

Vinny's rant was pretty good. Yea, they got super critical about it. Not gonna spoil much for you guys here. We'll discuss it later.

 

[SomberOwl]

Haven't listened yet, but is Dan the one that had probably didn't have his expectations in check going into the game? Like the other guy sad most of them seemed to be pretty tepid on it before it came out and knew what to expect.

Speaking of being excited for games, what does the whole of GB seem excited about for the rest of the year? Jeff seems excited for Titanfall 2 but what about everyone else? Haven't really got the sense of excited for anything else. Not much for Mafia 3, Watch_Dogs 2, COD, Battlefield 1, Dishonored 2, and so on.

I don't think his tone really changed.
He basically says "i like it a lot...would not be surprised if not many people like it as much as i do"
