The Sonic QL is still available on YT. Sega's legal department sure is slacking.
Yeah, it should probably be part of "most disappointing game" this year. That game looked so good at some point! And hopes were high because it had the "Alan Wake" stamp on it.
It's run by the same person who's responsible for Sonic's official Twitter, they'll get around to it sooner or later.

Patrick is too good for Giant Bomb.
Street Fighter V is easily my most disappointing game of the year.
I wanted nothing more than to really get into a fighting game.
But the game was anemic at launch, and in many ways still is
The last update was actually really good, too. It added battle damage/removable parts to costumes, stage animations/transitions, Vs CPU, Urien (most well liked DLC character so far) and Daily Challenges to get Fight Money in an actually enjoyable way. But it also added that ridiculous Rootkit and that's the only thing that people talked about. (Probably rightfully so)
If you really wanted to get into a fighting game, then it had all you needed. Vs mode, online ranked, casual and lobbies and training mode. What it lacked was single player content.
games don't tend to get a lot of good will points for adding in basic features months and months after launch
not true at all
I'm bad at them. Online was just practice getting my ass kicked. Training mode is awful compared to a lot of other fighting games.
Good single player would have gone a long way to getting me to do more of those other modes.
The game had nothing for casual players. Or for casual players that wanted to try and take the game more seriously.
Also, lobbies didn't work for a long time after launch. and they were bad fucking lobbies
You don't get better playing these terrible CPU opponents. You need to get your ass kicked to learn. And the training mode is actually pretty damn good. What's it lacking?
Agreed. I also hate how Brad tells Jason all the time that he's somewhat of apologist when it comes to SFV. BRAD! Also, the game is amazing.
You're wrong. If you really want to get into a fighting game you've got to watch online videos anyway. It's just like a MOBA in that way.
anything involving actual...get this...training.
I didn't want to go to evo. I wanted a fighting game i played more than a few minutes.
Dota has some pretty good tutorials.
It has everything you need to do that. You can set up every character as your opponent, dummies, CPU, wake-up moves, block recovery moves, high/low blocks, counter-hits. And all of that to random and cycles of preset recordings you can enter yourself.
It might be the best training mode any SF ever had.
You're thinking of tutorials, I guess. Never seen it called training mode in a Arc Systems game, but I could be wrong. Street Fighter V has that stuff under "Demonstrations" and "Trials" (and these new challenges, I guess).
A training mode is a pretty well defined thing in fighting games and it usually allows you to set up all kinds of scenarios that could happen in a game. It's not a lecture.
edit: I would totally agree that it could need better tutorials, though. They haven't made a single step of progress in that area since probably before SF4 even launched.

We Talk Over An Episode Of Sonic Boom
I saw Kingsglaive today, and while it's not a good movie on it's own it made me more excited for this world and playing FF XV.
Only thing I'm not looking forward to are Noct's party members and Cindee.

Surely that same chicken wasn't working around

This is like the tag fishing people used to do on GAF where they posted a screenshot of something in their browser and there was a porn tab open or some shit

I thought he promised his dad that he'd call his memoir Comfortably Dumb

That might be autobiography #2. This one is more about my life prior to the gaming industry. It's once I became more of a public figure that I really started leaning hard into the dumb stuff.

I kinda like this idea, because the friday UPF stream sort of feels like they want to go home already half the time, and being tired and annoyed actually makes Mario Party Party funnier
for us,
Training room/tutorial stuff in ASW works the same except the tutorial stuff is way more in-depth. The tutorial stuff in SFV is definitely better than SF4, it's still not really all that good, especially for an absolute beginner.
Although at the end of the day, even with better tutorials, youtube videos etc you still have to accept that as a beginner getting good is a long process during which your're going to get your ass kicked a lot. Basically every multiplayer game is like that, I think it's just more clear in fighting games because it's one on one.
It's not like you'd actually know if the game is good or not at that point (outside of maybe perfomance), given that's not even past the tutorial/story setup part.
Everyone needs at least three.
That way you can go in depth. Just real deep. Then again going in depth on your own life can be an awful experience so.

Actually, I feel weird calling this an autobiography. They're all stories from my life, but they're pretty separate from each other and out of order. It's more like a David Sedaris book, and I'm not sure if those fall under the "autobiography" classification.

Dan's entire reaction to Hackmud with that soothing(fantastic) soundtrack, is great.
It was a work brother
