I need a new game to sink my teeth in. Any recommendations? I'm playing some Diablo 3 now, but I need a new game. Something like Stardew Valley, The Witcher 3 did for a while.

I'm thinking maybe Darkest Dungeon?

i started Tokyo Mirage Sessions yesterday and it's great. can't wait for P5? play TMS. it has all the vibes.

really happy Alex talked about it on GOTY now.

In the 5/27/2008 Bombcast, Ryan admitted that he was too scared to play Resident Evil 4 at night.

I'm only in chapter 3 of FFXV, but I'm like level 35. I don't think the story missions scale, either.

 

[Twin Tails]

No, I thought I would probably need a break, but now I might need to buy it.

You NEED it.

I'm just about to start this, is it really 30 hours long?

I finished the main quest in about 20 and there was still plenty to do. It all varies but there is a lot there.

I'm only in chapter 3 of FFXV, but I'm like level 35. I don't think the story missions scale, either.

You can probably beat the game at that level.

i beat the game at low 40's on Normal, FWIW

In the 5/27/2008 Bombcast, there's an email from a guy who says he doesn't like games that are built around user-created stages. He doesn't find them fun and asks the crew what the appeal is. Jeff agrees, saying they're "totally not my thing. Like, building a level, not into it."

Jeff then says that building things that one can use, like the vehicles in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, is much more appealing to him.

Jeff has changed.

Mario Maker is kinda the only one for Jeff. He often said it's what he wished to do as a kid.

You NEED it.

Yeah, I probably do...

This is the only shit that's left for me:

 

[Meguro]

Don't do those.
They are 90% boring treasure that doesn't help you after finishing the game.

haha yea, treasure hunting sucks. i barely did any in TW3. that's like for people who did everything else and want more.

Honestly though, most games with level creators arent anywhere near as good as mario maker. MM was the first time I wanted to dabble in creating things because the tools were so accessible and their curation system meant that people would play it.

Other games require you to market and get the mode/map you make popular on your own. Aint no one got time for that.

Yeah I'm not planning to. Not sure why they felt they needed to put that crap in one of the biggest single player games ever with maybe the most polished content ever..

Infinite Warfare has a really great robot buddy too. That SP campaign is totally worth checking out.

Yeah, I heard good things. The story was written by someone who left Naughty Dog for Infinity Ward.

That explains a lot. Best CoD campaign so far.

So, 10 years have passed since you got stuck inside the crystal and you're back to a changed Lucis overrun by demons and decay. The setup is intriguing and it makes you want to find out what happens next. What do they do here? They throw fucking demons nonstop as if they already know where you are which doesn't make sense because at that point you're kind of coming back by surprise.

Spoiler

I think the deemons on Golden Quay were the people there that turned to monsters. I remember a post from the FFXV OT that mentioned that the clothes of the lady that gives you bounties is there where she should be standing so that kinda means she turned to a baddie.

So it's not more on the daemons are there to surprise you, they are just there because there were alot of people there before.

Created by an 18 year old, who launched it in 2016 and sold it in 2016. Now he's a (I have to assume) rich 18 year old.

most likely 19 by now, I'm pretty sure. Soon he won't know what to do with his life, like every GAFer in his early 20s.

Would you consider trackmania 2 stadium a new enough game?

Yup, that part was way too short but very compelling. Wish they would have spent half the game in that place.

He's not talking about the Nintendo Switch you guys.

Oh, they're switching offices again? Bummer.

On a different note, I was fine with them discussing the Nintendo Switch during the next UPF.

If you can make out what's on the screen without a manual, it's not an old game.

edit:
I mean look at this

 

[Meneses]

Been playing COD and the Campaign has been fun so far.

The fighter missions are getting me hyped for dat Ace Combat goodness.

 

[Twin Tails]

I REALLY loved the COD:IW campaign. Like between that and TF2's campaign we got two amazing SP FPS campaigns this year.

 

[Zornack]

I can think of a third.

 

[Megasoum]

Bah... Doom is super fun for sure (even tho I really need to finish it) but I dunno... It's more of a great arcade experience than a proper campaign.
