That afterparty definitely went off the rails at some point.

"half" is a bit of a misnomer here

 

[Joeku]

These Hitman videos are the best and the "best" parts of the year. Goddammit Brad, pay attention.

This game is so good.

Edit: ...Except for all that crashing.

Double edit: Nevermind, it all ended up for the best. I don't know how the fuck you two keep doing this.

 

[The Technomancer]

Hitman so goooood

 

[strafer]

Wow, that fucking Mafia 3 ending.

 

[Xater]

Wow, that fucking Mafia 3 ending.

Man I kind of want to look that up now. Game doesn't seem to be that great. Seems like so far lots of great early impression,s but then it gets super repetitive and it's also buggy/janky. Also performance on consoles just looks horrendous. Although that might be more of a frame pacing thing according to early Digital Foundry impression, but we will see. Only consistently good thing I hear about is the story, so you comment make me extra curious.

It, uh... goes places.

I bought Last Action Hero because of Dan's endorsement of it a few Bombcasts ago

What am I in for?

I do love Arnold, I've just never seen this one

this has been my experience, yeah.

the worst part of the repetition is when you attack a location as an objective and then immediately have to turn around and go back to that location and do it again for the next objective.

The ending can't be that bad, can it?

Imagine if Arnold's action hero persona was his actual every day normal life. That's basically all you need to know about the film and it goes on from there. I love it even though I feel it could have been shorter.

 

[Johndoey]

The NX threads are getting worse and worse.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

so do you think we can take publishers opting out of pre-release reviews in favor of "influencer" impressions on YT and Twitch as a vote of no confidence in their games from here on out

That sounds like something I'd very much enjoy

Seeing as how Mafia 3 is the umpteenth case of "game that isn't it sent out for review turns out poorly", I'm going with yes.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Can people spoil the mafia 3 ending since its the hot subject right now

In spoiler tags ofc. Or pm.

 

[Human Trashcan]

I don't know, hasn't it always been the case that lack of review copies, or very late review copies, is a bad sign? The influencer thing is weird, but I don't know what level of access they had in this case.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Apparently there are 3 endings to the game so i wonder which one is being discussed.

They all end with the same segment at the end, though, and I'd have to imagine that's what people are talking about.

I picked up Virginia on PS4 after watching the Quick Look, and man, I NEVER get sick from first person games, but it just gives me a headache every time I play it for more than 5 minutes. Anyone else had these issues?

Someone post the spoiler please.

There's a scene in the frame-story Senate hearing where Ray Donovan claims that antagonist Sal Marcano was behind the Kennedy assassination, then shoots the senator who he believes was also involved.

Ha not what I expected.

It's a shame the game is so buggy and repetitive apparently as I'd like to do the story.

It is making me want to play Mafia 2 again though. That game is incredible and seriously underrated.

 

[Data West]

Has Dan seen this yet?

This is up there with the end of NBA 2K16 in terms of dumb.

For some reason I read this thinking this is a spoiler for Virgina. Huh.
Mafia 3 seems like a game I'd play if it was linear. I have little love for most Open World games nowadays. Not after Witcher 3 changed what I want in an open world game.

Dan hated Patrick being a youtuber because he secretly wants to be a youtuber

There's Cook Serve Delicious stickers for iMessage now. Maybe this will make iOS 10 worth it.

EDIT:

I played it on my laptop, but it definitely messed with me a bit at first. I spent the first ten to twenty minutes mostly fiddling with mouse sensitivity (and moving to an actual mouse) and I do think that helped. I was basically fine after that.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Jeez.

I don't mind. My enjoyment of GB's Hitman videos goes up exponentially the worse Brad is at the game. I love watching Agent 47 go from this ultimate assassin to an incompetent assassin bumbling through his kills. I still love the videos but I miss Brad being bad at the game.

 

[jaina]

thanks Anjin for keeping the OP updated!

 

[AuthenticM]

Wow. I like Fobwashed's idea. It looks cool. I hope they do something similar.

This would be legit amazing. They should release an app for AppleTV and other such devices like Roku. Maybe even for PS4 and Xbox One.

That would've been the funniest thing to be honest.

Alright, so I just started listening to the Giant bombcast this week, and I like it, but I don't know who everyone is...It feels like when I confused Pat and Woolie when I first started with the Friendcast.

Can I have some help?

Jeff is the host with the deep voice
Brad is the poop guy
Drew is the guy trying to help the poop guy
Jason is the jaded guy who hates games
Dan is the quiet guy who likes F1

It might help to check out the video podcast. I remember having that issue for Idle Thumbs, I would mix up Nick and Jake. It wasn't until I actually saw video of them speaking that it cemented for me.

 

[mnz]

I've listened to 8-4 for years and I still cannot tell two of them apart.

Thank you both.

I'll definitely check out the video podcast. That'll help for sure.

Who was talking about Paper Mario? Was that Dan?

Disregard me.

In reality,
Brad: hosts, deep voice, nice hair
Jeff: reads ads with Brad, played GoW
Drew: quiet, flies planes for fun
Jason: the dad, is fighting games made flesh
Dan: is the poop guy

The video podcast will definitely help differentiate their voices.

 

[mnz]

I think it's John and Justin. Can't tell them apart for the life of me. I think I have to see them on video or something.

Yea, you're not alone. A lot of guys in 8-4 threads seem to have trouble too altho I can tell them apart just fine. Pretty interesting.

 

[kvothe]

I'm with you. I listen to a ton of different podcasts, but these two are the only guys I can't tell the difference between. Their voices are so similar.
