Bait and switch on a paid game seems like a nightmare for Steam honestly

the base game is actually an ok management game

 

[hamchan]

I think a lot of ARGs seem like too much effort for not enough exposure.

 

[Data West]

Pretty sure all that is in the game.

According to the reviews, that stuff lasts for about an hour

Man, do I hate the art style for Ittle Dew 2. Enough to turn me off of the game completely, no matter how good it is otherwise.

Working as intended.

Im already sick of Glittermitten Grove

I was already sick of the whole Frog Fractions 2 thing ~2 years ago. For me it's the definition of taking a mildly funny joke waaaaaaay too far.

Spoiler

After the very cool initial reveal I don't think there was anything special about Frog Fractions 1

He talked about this in the interview with Jeff. The game that's advertised is there in its entirety. Frog Fractions 2 is just hidden within it.

The real question is how does he pronounce "skulltula"

What ways do you think TF2 did better for newcomers? Genuinely curious, I feel like OW does a great job at being positive like the guys discussed on GOTY. I played a decent amount of TF2 (and a lot of TF1) and did not have the same impression when I played them (granted that was ages ago, none or very few online games were friendly to newcomers).

I like OW a ton, the only thing that frustrates me sometimes are teammates being incompetent (not skill wise, just not playing objectives, contesting, etc) but welcome to online gaming right?

TF2 was goofy fun with simple mechanics and quick respawns, so even if my team lost or I was doing poorly, it was still fun to just mess around. Overwatch was really overwhelming with all its different mechanics and wildly different play styles. The extra recognition stuff actually made me feel worse because I never got recognized for anything, so instead of being somewhere in the middle of a post-match point list, I was ignored while everybody else was recognized.

Is it like tarantula? Or skull-tull-a? I have no idea.

 

[Blitzrules240]

The best part of Frog Fractions 2 is the

segment. It comes out of nowhere.

close enough

 

[nckillthegrimace]

close enough

But those are two different pronunciations. help

Really? I didn't think it's the best but I don't hate it or think it's ugly. It has a doodle quality to it that's enjoy more than Drawn to Death for example. I like the moving outlines like Vinny. And I like the designs of the characters and enemies.

Played the first level of Hitman. Took out Novikov and Margolis in the danger room with headshots and escape through the attic sloppily for my first attempt (3 stars, somehow!). Second time round, I poisoned Viktor's cocktail, drowned him, randomly found Helmut hanging out by some stairs, disguised myself as him, and poisoned Margolis' wine with the poison she gives you.

I know it's the first level, but it almost feels too easy.

hitman is pretty easy if you want to play sloppy, even the elusives can boil down to 'throw a knife at his head and leg it'.

not very satisfying that way though on replays. I don't mind it being easy the first time through, so long as I have to work everything out myself.

I think a lot of ARGs seem like too much effort for not enough exposure.

I altogether hate the idea of ARGs. Its like you're trying to generate interest and excitement by being intentionally vague and locking things behind nonsense puzzles. I never cared for things The Witness or Fez. Its like an overdeveloped decoder ring from A Christmas Story. Get all excited as you're writing down this code then fuck you, drink more Ovaltine.

If you're only goal is to just complete the objectives then the game can be pretty easy. Almost trivial if you're slavishly following the Opportunities. But if you're invested enough to want to do Silent Assassin (SA) or Suit-only Silent Assassin (SOSA), then the game gets much more difficult.

 

[alr1ght]

Did they even do a video on Frog Fractions 1?

Easiest episode, imo. All the ones after it are quite challenging. Save scumming ftw

I save scum for the first run, after that it's on.

Oh man AGDQ starts tomorrow and they actually have games on the schedule they have not done a hundred times already. Exciting!

Going over the list, there's some good new games on there. No Super Mario Maker is a bummer.

And seeing it on the list reminded me. Vinny should do a La-Mulana EX playthrough.

Jar Time is good times, looking forward to it.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Where is Dark Showers on that schedule?

Blue Bombin is my jam

 

[Basileus777]

Blue Bombin should be good with Dan coaching.

Alex will go crazy

 

[Red UFO]

too much content please scale it back thank you

 

[Twin Tails]

That ain't no jar

 

[Tubobutts]

Blue Bombin should be good with Dan coaching.

I think it will take about a month before Alex tries to throw Dan out a window.

 

[LiK]

watching Stardew archive and Vinny is teaching Dan how to make mayo. Vinny is truly the best duder.

 

[Exterminieren]

Look at all that #premium #content

I look forward to the Defenestration of Dan video series.

I can see it taking this long if Alex is gone for the next 29 days

where could I apply to gbs position(he mentioned a 'junior' position)

New year, new... explosion noises? What the hell is even going on out front? All that, plus your questions, coming up neeeeeeeeext.

The new position is "more of a junior position than the ones we've had in the past." Hmm...

Strictly off-camera video slave for Vinny.

Pretty sure he was talking about the west coast hire. Wait, they're still doing two, right?

idk, he kept mentioning how they should be good at podcasts.

There was a period when I was trying to eat a lot healthier and was making my own mayo. Without a stick blender that is some hard work.

Spoiler

It's probably a junior position in more of a behind-the-scenes sense than a "do stuff on-camera/etc" one. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[Tubobutts]

"Junior" position eh?

The new hire is one of their kids. Damn video game industry nepotism.
