Yeah, I feel like I'm decently plugged into the GB community, but had no idea about these things before that video a few years ago. Totally forgot about them again until y'all mentioned them here. It is weird that they don't do anything with them each year for how much work some people probably put into them.
EDIT: U.P.F NEEDS MORE PHONE GAMES!!!

I could kind of understand if they were totally hands-off from it and kept it to a community thing, but when they bring it up and contribute ideas, voice samples, or sound effects to it, and then allude to looking at them, it seems kinda crappy to then not mess around with them.
you figure some of your most dedicated fans are dumping a ton of work into making projects about your website and if you're lucky one of the community members makes a blog post about it.

They mentioned doing one earlier this year, but they probably forgot due to other things going on.
They dont give a shit anymore. Maybe next year.

Man I just realized that looking at some of those games would have been perfect for Drews final UPF... but didn't they have those other guys on showing off their game instead, can't even remember the name of it.
It's kind a feedback loop at that point isn't it - I'm sure they appreciate all of those games, but it has to also feel a little weird.

Also thank god for the PC community. Managed to fix the issues I have with nier automata's fucked up resolution.

BoTW will probably be the least replayable Zelda ever. The sheer thought of starting over is nightmarish to me. Having to do the Great Plateau again and start with shitty weapons, extremely low stamina, and find enough Korok seeds to get a decent sized inventory sounds like a chore to do again. Hell, it's a chore to do it the first time.
Lots to unpack in that tweet

I agree... I adore BotW, but it's going to be a several years before I would really want to play again. Maybe around the end of the lifespan of the Switch would be a pretty good time to revisit that awesome game.

I tend to not really replay games anyway? Like, videogames are the one medium where i don't really go back to once I've finished it. They just take too fucking long.
He wants to live the meme.
It depends on the type of game. I could play crazy taxi forever. I've leveled up several wow characters. but I've never replayed a long narrative game
Yeah, same here. I have a really hard time justifying replaying games when I have such a full plate already with just new releases and let's not even talk about my backlog :/

Listening to the Peter Browncast (with the Nier spoilers) and holy cow this man is giddy to spoil everything and anything he touches on--not just Nier. It's kind of terrifying, the power he wields... with such reckless abandon.
Although I admit the thought of replaying a game is daunting when it gets past a certain length. Something like, when it's 30+ hours the thought of diving back into it becomes really intense. BotW mitigates this a lot, however, with the open-ness.
But that's BotW at its most fun! BotW's ruthless difficulty has been one of its biggest, and most impressive, surprises. Like, I feel like everyone should want to start over and try to beat Calamity Ganon right off the bat after wrapping up their first playthrough.

apparently all of us missed it then? which speaks to other issues probably
I have memories of Jeff telling Brad recently that they should probably look at those games (like right around the last game jam) but they didn't actually do anything afaik.

Nier Automata's open world kind of sucks, the way they designed the map UI is actually pretty insane. 7 hours in and this is a big step down from the first Nier in terms of setting and characters.

Just the ones they looked at on most recent Big Live Live Show Live, when they had a panel consisting of Adam Boyes, John Drake, Dave Lang, and Jeff. That was the show where Dan had (or at least attempted to have) everyone drink that drink with the canned cheese.

I don't remember them doing much beyond the video we mentioned earlier, and maybe a game or two on UPF.

maybe this is a conspiracy to drive up the view counts on recent content as we try to find it

I didn't realise how much I appreciated BotW's (big) map UI until I started comparing it to other games' attempts at open world maps (ME:A's "wtf is this" map really hit this home.) Even disregarding icon clutter and such, it is just cleaner and easier to parse--with distinct heightmapping and clear geographical markings.
BotW, man. What a game.

when was the last time they played Giant ROM games? Whatever Jeff, you guys could do better in acknowleding the community. But the community showcase. This is like when they changed TNT to them just playing with [so[sic]]themselves instead of playing with the community.
To be fair, all of the most entertaining TNTs were the ones where they played with each other.
