I honestly have no idea how well the XBox is actually selling. I assume less than the PS4 but no idea how much less.

 

[Twin Tails]

Lol at y'all getting scolded by Brad.

If it keeps up we might even get as bad as their official forums!

Let's not get crazy.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Real talk though, just like p4, first dungeon of p5 wrapped up way too neatly.

Spoiler

She even recovered from her coma lol.

Maybe I'm in a nier kind of mood where i don't expect things to wrap up that neatly.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Not surprising one of the guys had to come in and nip that stuff.

Maybe if comments didn't come off as severely lacking in perspective there might have more discussion around it.


Anyways i need to look at that BulletStorm video since i actually liked that game.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Out of curiosity, and please keep it spoiler free, but how different is P5 from P4? Is it still the same basic loop or did they change that up? Get your social links up, make money, go to school on some days, go into dungeons or wait for the story to advance on other days etc. or has there been some drastic changes?

Also, does it still do that terrible thing where companions you don't take with you don't level up and basically become useless?

Same loop. A lot more stuff to do though.

I haven't gotten to where i can change up parties but it seems like they can level outside the party.

I just bought it and have yet to play it, so exactly the same.

[broncobuster]

I'm late to this, but the Yakuza 0 chapter 4 cliffhanger...damn. I'm glad the game isn't episodic.

 

[Curufinwe]

It's about a 2:1 ratio for the PS4 worldwide.

The biggest change so far for me is that the dungeons are all hand-crafted and have some light puzzle-solving and exploration elements that make them dramatically more interesting. Plus the stealth/cover mechanics that are really simple but more fun than running through empty corridors and whacking enemies with a golf club. But yeah that structure is largely the same, just improved with lots of extra features and QOL stuff.

The procedural dungeons were always the weakest part of the Persona games, so I'm glad to hear that. Although it sounds like the localisation took a bit of a hit in exchange.

It's formatted as one though.

Man, that's nothing compared to what's about to come. Since you mentioned Yakuza 0, gotta post my jam among many jams from this damn good video game.

Groan, maybe the duders should join in the conversation when we are happy and then that would take the spotlight.

Everytime I come into this thread it's just a bunch of people moaning about a website they voluntarily subscribe to.

This thread moves quick especially during weekdays, please keep in mind that it certainly ain't all of us. Anyways, one of the best times of the year is coming in a few months. That and before it E3 + GB E3 content, so good.

Ah, of course not.

I'm of the mind that the last few months has produced some of the best content since i've been subbed to GB; and now that their down a few members they've entered a bit of a transition period.

 

[Tubobutts]

I would like the record to show that I hate Giantbomb.com

 

[Rhaknar]

lol the Persona 5 quicklook still isnt on youtube. Fucking Atlus man...

 

[Death Metalist]

Hell fucking YES

"Yeah... More like Suckunda!"

 

[Blitzrules240]

A scrub is a guy that think he's fine and is
Also known as a buster (buster, buster)
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So

 

[Wunder]

Hell fucking YES

FMVinny is back baby

"Yeah... More like Suckunda!"

They really hated using those debuff spells

 

[Megasoum]

Guys I did it.... After 10 years I FINALLY got into the P4 ER.


Up to Ep 28 now so don't think I'll stop...

 

[Mr. F]

There needs to be more bad games, mass effect threads are getting old. Yooka Laylee out yet?

The bombcast talking about old 1up stuff is bringing up names I haven't heard in a long time.

I was driving my car when that came up and I lost it. I was laughing so goddamn hard I was crying.

My favorite part of that episode is how confident Ryan is during the midterms.

Goddamn. I miss Ryan. He was the best.

"10 Years."

Ha, I'm on Episode 32.

Catch up chump

Edit: Almost 33.

 

[AuthenticM]

shit I thought Strafer had been permed lol

 

[Death Metalist]

FMVinny is back baby

The game sure is something, looking forward to them jumping in. Infact it's so bizarre that they released it in film form which turned out to be just an edited version of the FMV game.

 

[Wunder]

Some of the best moments of the ER are in the sub-50s. That sweet spot of liking the game but not really knowing how far certain cutscenes or mechanics go

 

[hamchan]

Wow they got John Hurt to be in an FMV game.

Maybe my favorite quote is in episode 29:

Spoiler

Charlie listen to me... kill the kid, torch the house, we gotta get outta here.

Also I just saw these enemies again in P5

 

[Antiwhippy]

One of the best things about P5 is that you're fighting persona again and not, say, hulk hogan.

God yes, so good.

Charlie, I'm gonna tell you something, you just gotta not react OK?

Also YES. When I saw those fuckers I yelled at the TV

Giant Bomb OT | Creeps

I could have sworn that we've heard Brad perform "Creep" when they played Rock Band at some point.

Except they are..so eh? GBWest is obviously low on numbers at the mo. For me, GBWest needs a Dan-type over there to get new things started.

 

[Twin Tails]

Glad fmvinny made its return.

 

[LurkerPrime]

The dungeons and battles are major steps up from P4 and P3. It's been really well done so far. (Well, judging from the tutorial dungeon lol.)

P5 has best styyyle on lock.

Before WWIII starts, here's some Jon st. John content since we're talking about Duke Nukem today.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So is there anything interesting from the scorpio unveiling?

I have no interest in microsoft games though so, eh either way.

I fell asleep about four minutes into the digital foundry video. I have no idea what to do with the information revealed today

 

[Salarians]

wow that Duke Nukem in Bulletstorm stuff is somehow even worse than I imagined

 

[Death Metalist]

I fell asleep about four minutes into the digital foundry video. I have no idea what to do with the information revealed today

The only information you'll ever need is that thing ain't gonna be less than 500$.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah I really don't see how this is going to turn the xbox brand around for microsoft.

 

[TraBuch]

People keep saying West is low on people, but doesn't East have like..less people?

 

[Antiwhippy]

They have Dan though.
