Giant Bomb #25 | A Fun Time with Friends

Had to go check the video to confirm that Drew was actually on this week's Bombcast.

Also Vinny calling the Death Stranding trailer "rote" is some wack shit
 
I expected Inquisition to play and feel better than it did and I got really bored 8 hours in.

FFXV feels like the game I actually wanted Inquisition to be in terms of combat in an open world with lots of fetch quests.

Funny, it's the exact opposite for me. Gave up on FFXV after 10 hours of pure boredom. Just goes to show how subjective it all is.
 
I had to look but apparently I put about 70 hours into the Witness. Some of that is my kids who loved it. But, I never even did anything with the mountain. Maybe I need to revisit.
 
Old Game of the Year has to go to Windjammers by default for clawing its way back to modernity.

Also, I tried Let it Die and uninstalled it in 30 minutes. The gameplay is OK but I can't stand the aesthetic, so I figured I'd escape before the free-to-play elements started rearing their head. Uncle Death is like a zaaaaaaaany tuber.
I feel like dead rising is capcom somehow tricking brad into liking a shittier musou game just by adding zombies.

During the QL I had the thought, "this is Western Dynasty Warriors" before realising the absurdity of it all.
 
Well look at that

A Giant Bomb user who lurks this thread contacted me to tell me he had the full bombcast from August 7th 2012. He sent it to me.

I will listen to it and report back later with what has been cut.

Can you imagine working with someone whose worldview is cornerstoned on wrestling and anime? You might yell at them occasionally, too.

The beauty of the Internet.

If it's interesting, I wonder if the clip is worthy of being archived on Giant Bomb Unarchived.

Please do! I don't really know what you guys are talking about but secret censored content is my jam.
 
I signed up for a kindle unlimited free trial so I could read Dan's book and "Sex, Drugs and Cartoon Violence: My Decade as a Video Game Journalist" by Russ Pitts

In a better timeline I'd be reading Jeff Green's memoirs instead

Is August 7th 2012 the one where Jeff accidentally admits he loves Resident Evil 4 but then quickly asks Ryan to cut it out so he can maintain his image.

So I am playing Hitman again now that I also have a PS4 Pro and man that Colorado level is really good. Excited to jump into Hokkaido now.

Yeah Let it die is actually really fun despite how clunky it can feel.

Does Pokémon Sun & Moon take a while to open up? I'm about an hour in and it feels like I'm still in prologue.

the WWE banned the Polish Subway in 2002, too many wrestlers did it wrong and there were a lot of injuries
I jumped to this post and haven't read the other ones and you actually made me google this

I can 100% see where he is coming from though. Kojima could've made whatever he wanted. Instead of doing something fresh he did Kojima and I'm okay with that but let's not fool ourselves. Nothing in that trailer suggest Kojima is going for something new or fresh, at least in terms of promoting his stuff.

Am I completely mistaken or were the soldiers in the tunnel that were attatched to the cords in the Death Stranding trailer skeletons? I swear I saw this but none of them mentioned it ever.

What's the over/under on people here keeping up with Waypoint? I had been listening to the podcast regularly but it doesn't really grab me for some reason I can't quite put my finger on. I think I might give it a rest.

Vinny really is the podcast glue, I guess.

as people have been saying the conversation doesn't really flow there as well as on more casual podcasts. I appreciate what they're trying to do but austin usually ends up dominating the conversation or it just ends up being austin/patrick saying something and everyone else being 'yeah i agree with this slightly different nuance'

i'm still listening but i might stop soon. i'm not getting as much out of it as i'd like

Yeah a bit. There's a lot of cutscenes and interruptions throughout the game, but you're still basically in tutorial mode till at least after the first trial, but more like when you get to the second island.

It's fine but it's really is missing the goofball that Vinny or Bakalar would pull off. Patrick and Austin are a bit similar too.

I asked a similar thing a few pages back and got a few answers:

Hm.
 
It's the monologue podcast.

Waypoint people need people who aren't Waypoint people to make Waypoint good. That's when the 72hr stream was at its best.

Yeah Danielle worked really well with the Idle Thumbs crew, and obviously Patrick is at his best with the Duders, so it makes sense.

As soon as they leave GiantBomb they are dead to me.
