I think it might actually make it in. If it doesn't it will get close and then be marked down for being an incremental upgrade on 2 which was an incremental upgrade on 1.
I will miss the psychologically hefty noise of Austin unfolding 3 sheets of A4 and launching into a 10 minute dissertation on why game X should be GOTY but he recognises it's not for everyone so top 10 will do. Like genuinely, that was my favourite bit from last year. The contrast in styles from Jeff's, I've seen everything and done everything and I damn well know what's good, was excellent.
To be clear - I'm not knocking Jeff at all. He clearly knows what he talking about and can always back up his "it's a trash fire!" with a reasoned analysis of why it's a trash fire!

Are they doing a stream today or next week for the launch psvr games?

I would imagine this Thursday, to coincide with the official launch?
Whatever day it is, Jeff said it'll be during normal working hours this time.

For an account called "Face Bread", there's a distinct lack of face in those pics. Especially in comparison to other body parts.
EDIT: Oh, I only saw the thumbnails and had assumed that they were still images and not videos.
This is great. I would back a Patreon for

This is great. I would back a Patreon forJeffBrett to do something similar.
I am glad you noticed those are videos. Otherwise you would miss all the "magic".

I haven't followed that port at all... What happened with the console version?

Performance isn't great even though it's playable. It's chuggy and tear-y but I can tolerate that. It didn't bother me much in the PS3 games which ran a bit worse, but some people will probably find it a bit too much - and I wouldn't fault them for it.
Then there are random crashes, times where you can't choose any action, missing textures in certain enemies.
The main issue is the ridiculous load times from mid to late game, you can wait for around 4 minutes when going to / returning from a mission. It definitely feels like a bug which could be corrected though, so if they fix that it won't be so bad.
The game itself is pretty good.
Still.

Mafia 3 collectors edition just arrived and holy shit, is it beautiful. It's also close to 9 fucking pounds.

The one and only time i remember him making this noise was when Jeff tore into those job applications on the infamous Bombcast.

All I remember about Jade Empire is the part where you go to Fox Spirit Heaven and there's a bunch of naked fox ladies hanging out everywhere. And John Cleese.
That latest VICE cast with Harvey Smith is a good listen, seems like a cool guy. Too bad GBWest has not been able to pull through on Jeff's desire to get more regular guests onto the Bombcast.

Sounds like a perfect port of the PC version then ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Don't know how much it has improved with patches, and I still loved the game playing at PC release
Oh that sounds interesting! I should give it a listen.

HOLY SHIT BRAD SHOEMAKER'S HERE.
Everything Harvey Smith says makes perfect sense to me. It really is no wonder I enjoy the games he is involved with.

I really like GB interviews/guests but I'd keep them in their own thing rather than on the Bombcast which is at its best when the guys are talking about custom Coke machines and Russian submarines.

Yeah, the Thief/Deus Ex/Dishonored "genre" or w/e has always had a crazy appeal to me.
I am a fan of well thought a game systems. They also mention as an aside that often they don't quite get the recognition they deserve. Meanwhile everyone is talking about the story in the latest walking simulator.
Sorry to exaggerate it to that level, but one is just more impressive to me than the other.
Agreed. I really dislike Bombcasts that have guests not named Danny.

In particular I'd like to see the bombcast bring more guests in after Dan leaves and before the new hire. Even if you're not normally a fan of most guests that seems like a good time to bring them in, the 'cast is going to be kinda quiet outside of Jeff and Brad.
Totally. I'm excited to see what the Dishonored 2 team thinks up next; in at least one interview they've mentioned they're ready to move onto something new after 2.

That is exciting. Also great if Bethesda allows them to do that and not just continue making them churn out the same thing over and over again.
Yeah. The bombcast/beastcast guests have been duds more often than not.

And Jeff Green.
Revamping UPF or switching it up would be at the top for me.

Yah, if Dishonored 2 ends up doing super well it makes me wonder if Bethesda will put the Arkane Austin team on Dishonored 3 when they finish Prey.

I just kind of want a Dark Messiah 2 out of Arkane. It's all I've ever wanted from them.
Dark Messiah 1 is such a blast. I enjoyed it more than Half-Life 2.

Dark Messiah is really underappreciated.
It sure is/was one of the finest games out there. The combat is sooo good.

Never has kicking dudes off cliffs been more satisfying
No.
Strongly disagree. I can maybe think of two bad ones out of what? 15 different guests or more?

This may be of interest to GBGaf (crossposting from SteamGAF):
Half of the reason I play Overwatch is to decrypt its mysterious lore.
Overwatch is my Dark Souls.
Also, Deus Ex and story. Pshaw. Considering what HR did with its story, it would've been better off without one.
For any fans of Contradiction here, this game going up on greenlight looks interesting:

They aren't bad per se, they just leave me with no desire to go back and listen to the episode again, even if I missed chunks because I wasn't paying attention. I only like the ones which feature people with whom the staff have a longstanding relationship (Lang/Boyes/Drake/Danny). The Jeff Greencast was pretty good too.
