What actually IS that game? I've seen a fair number of people I follow on twitch stream it and its been popping up here and there on Steam.

It's the game Gbeast should be playing instead of Yakuza.

Spoiler

It's like a conversation based adventure game I think?

Surbabia simulator where you play as a fucking mess.

I love it.

when i see videos of it it reminds me of oxenfree but with animals

If the words goodnight punpun and solanin means anything to you, play night in the woods.

 

[Fevaweva]

Sounds like a game I will enjoy. Wishlisted!

"Yes, that Dudley Moore meme"

I lost it.

Beast in the East is one of the best #content of 2017.

I love the Beast boys.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Fuck!

Not to say it executes everything perfectly, but i kinda just love the way it kinda plays with similar themes inio asano plays with because it's such a rare thing to find in games. Also not to say it's entirely like those 2 books I've mentioned, but the themes are similar.

Bea is my bae.

What was Drew's best impression? He had so many.

Death first

 

[Dineren]

I am finally far enough that I felt comfortable watching the second part of the Zelda QL and I love how Dan opens it by just going through his photos like he just got back from vacation. I think if Vinny had let him he would have spoiled every moment in the game.

Damn. I really need to play that now

 

[Data West]

Is For Honor the new Evolve? I feel like I heard so much buzz about the game leading up to release, the weeks after release and then it was suddenly gone. Like I see people streaming it on twitch but it went from top 3 games to about 3 weeks to like 4 rows down

Sure, OK. She's a cool character.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Breath of the Wild is a damn good video game. I'm so glad I didn't sell my Wii U.

 

[Wunder]

Logan was cool.

 

[Data West]

the writing and 'choices' in night in the woods fall off a fucking cliff about halfway through though

instead of choices you just begin to get every choice replaced with 'yes' or 'yep' essentially

Nice to hear Todd Howard is keeping himself busy.

Hmm, which parts? I can't really recall much like that.

I don't think it's a meant to be a branching choice based game though. It's more of variants of how much of a mess you are.

 

[MassiveNights]

I can't afford a Switch so I've been playing a lot of Super Mario World. I feel good about it.

 

[pizzacat]

Do we think Atlus got a preview build of Persona 5 out to GB before John Hardin left?

Do you think John Hardin ever knew about p5

 

[Incandenza]

Maybe the reason Brad hasn't had many games to talk about recently is he's actually neck-deep in Persona 5 right now.

...probably not

 

[Kimaka]

"Where is she undercover at? The Witcher 3?"

Vinny is killing it in this film and 40s.

Gamespot has had the game for a while now, I wouldn't be surprised if someone at GB is working on it too.

Spoiler

Although I think Jeff has recently insinuated that he might be playing it

pretty much everything from

Spoiler

the kidnapping

onwards. the games basically forces you into being shitty just so it can create false drama despite earlier side missions/activities making it so you can actually avoid conflict with other characters.

 

[broncobuster]

Is there a Waypoint article about the married lady in Zelda BOTW who has the hots for Link and whose husband is obsessed with cuccos?

Hmm, I guess, but I view kind of as mae

Watching Yakuza, and hostess clubs seem like an even poorer value proposition than a strip club. Spend a bunch of money for the illusion that an attractive girl likes you, and then go home and take a cold shower knowing you wasted your money.

I was so baffled by the concept when playing that I had to ask the OT lol.

 

[Death Metalist]

Yakuza 0's OST is probably the best score of this year. Its the kind of score that keeps surprising you.

 

[Dangansona]

Yakuza 0's OST is probably the best score of this year. Its the kind of score that keeps surprising you.

I bet Nier's is really good.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I already know that persona 5 has the best soundtrack of the year because I got the soundtrack last year.

 

[Data West]

i love the yakuza series but ive always found their soundtracks pretty forgettable honestly

have you heard the new preys soundtrack? THAT will win score of the year. its so good

 

[Death Metalist]

I bet Nier's is really good.

I can't wait to play that game. I was originally going to get Ghost Recon but I'd rather save it for the summer drought. End of this month will be ME & Neir. I bet the OST will be top 5 for sure but I don't think it'll top Yakuza 0's for the simple fact that the soundtrack is incredibly diverse and packed with tons of variety.

 

[stump sock]

I bet Nier's is really good.

provided it's not 10 second loops like Nier 1's was

also, hello, persona 5 is out in the west this year.

 

[Incandenza]

This shit pops

odds on the soundtrack being better than the game?

If you count 24 Hour Cinderella then I'll give you Soundtrack of the Year until Persona 5

 

[Data West]

Honestly, every time I've seen them stream it it looks better and better. I think it could really be the sleeper hit of the year similar to Doom.

 

[Death Metalist]

I mean look at this fucking title track, One Eyed Dancer

Mick Gordon doing that soundtrack. It's gonna be pretty good.

I was just about to say that.

If you count 24 Hour Cinderella then I'll give you Soundtrack of the Year until Persona 5

I'm more of a JUDGEMENT guy.

Watching UPF and all of the group videos with Ryan, Drew, Vinny, Brad, and Jeff are hitting me hard.

Prey does look cool. Black goo enemy designs are the only aspect I'm iffy on.

 

[Hindl]

Eh, at least from my impressions people were pretty immediately down with Prey when they revealed it. Everyone thought Doom was gonna be shit before release, especially because people hated the multiplayer betas

 

[Mupod]

Yakuza 0 blew away my expectations so hard that at this point I'm going to be impressed if my most anticipated game in many years, P5, even beats it. Including the soundtrack. I mean holy shit. Get me in on this linking random songs from the OST here, I could do that all day, this shit's 10 miles deep.

The best part is a lot of it reminds me of F-Zero GX and of course I found out there's a reason for that.

edit: also I like me some synthwave and I didn't realize Mick was working on Prey, that's on my radar now too somehow.
