nintendo actively going backwards on ui features is one of the most baffling things i can recall in recent existance

why would you ditch eshop music and the activity log?

and if you didn't ditch it, why would you act as if you had?

 

[Catvoca]

I downloaded Yakuza 4 since people said it was one of the easiest Yakuza games to get into but the story recap for 1-3 is literally over an hour long 😧

Listen to this and tell me you don't care.

It's the easiest to get into because you don't really need any prior story knowledge at all. It's pretty self contained.

Don't bother with the recap for now.

Oh, cool. Some other comment I read said it was needed.

You'll miss context for some events but it isn't really that big a deal, I think you can infer enough and fill in the gaps reasonably well with what they tell you in game. The writing has a habit of re-explaining things for the player anyway. You can watch Yakuza 1's recap since that's the most relevant to know but otherwise it's not necessary.

Great, thanks for the info. If I'm enjoying the game after a while I might watch the recaps anyway.

I forgot how hard Far Cry 2 is, weapon jamming, malaria sickness, and your buddies permadying oh boy. Still a great game, I just wish the respawning checkpoints wasn't a thing.

Hell yes.

The hardest part of that game for me was not being able to travel 100 feet without being attacked by a new set of bad guys. It took forever to get from point a to b. I loved that fire mechanic though. I wish more games picked that up.

It's not a HUGE deal, but the Wii eshop music was a fucking banger, and the holiday eshop music was always great. It's just one more minor thing that piles on with all the other problems the Switch has

Listen to some Wii eshop trap remixes and tell me if you think it's a joke.

Rorie Quick Look!

Rorie Quick Look!

I love Rorie but I imagine a quick look with him is him playing the game for about 5 minutes and then being distracted and you hear him talking and doing things off mic for a minute or two and then he just walks away.

 

[Twin Tails]

Rorie has actually been good on the QL.

 

[repeater]

Rorie provide any hot strats on this QL for how to get away with real life murder?

Sounds better than the Horizon QL to me.

Step #1: Pet as many puppies as possible to spread your scent around and make identification impossible.

 

[Curufinwe]

I wonder if Stella is keeping the Beast guys home today.

 

[Dany]

Rorie Quick Look!

oh.
cool!

 

[Curufinwe]

Remember when Resistance let you remap every button on the controller to whatever you wanted?

Fuck all video games forever.

You can do that on any PS4 game.

This looks pretty cool, the old Commandos games were great.

This guy called Drew Scanlon is gonna guest on today's Bombcast.

 

[mnz]

Ugh, they always have the same guests

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I have finished Breath of the Wild and can finally reflect on it.

I also just noticed Waypoint's Twitter banner.

You can do that on any PS4 game.

Hopefully they'll improve that to a per game level instead of a global system level.

I thought I was getting burned out on BotW, and decided to just fire it up and do a shrine, and ended up spending 4 hours exploring an ice mountain that I thought I was going to hate. I usually hate ice levels, they're so monotonous with their color and everything. But the atmosphere in it is amazing. And I ended up finding a la

You know what? I agree with you. There's no subtly to them.

 

[justjim89]

I hope they do a QL for Styx: Shards of Darkness. That first game was really good.

 

[Antiwhippy]

As opposed to the beastcast awww yiss.

Good Orc booty.

Amazing to see the money that Drew and Danny are pulling from Patreon each month. Even with all their expenses, they're banking some serious fucking $$$ now.

Jeff is right that if this type of thing was around in 2008, it would be funding GB and not CBSi.

 

[Salarians]

so subtle

So good

Is the switch really missing eshop music? End of an era

Dead fucking silent. No ambient noise or chimes or anything, just the bloops of selecting icons.

The switch deserves failure

Finally finished BitE. That cult quest was amazing, though I kind of wish there was a bit more on a tail end for the resident hippie douche bag.
