So, someone took my quote out of context and turned it into a WHY YOU ATTACK NINTENDO, eh?

All I was trying to say was that I don't feel GB's Switch coverage was too professional. I respect folks that are in game journalism, as I've seen many of them ripped to shreds over something as simple as a review score. I meant no ill will towards GB or any of their fans.

I appreciate their diligence in reporting what they thought was a design flaw, but I wouldn't panic until a reviewer who hasn't dropped the system onto concrete speaks up.

 

[Teddified]

I mean it was unprofessional fridays.

2015 wasn't a slouch either. 2014 was straight trash unless you liked Nintendo, but the industry has been on an upward trajectory since then

I don't really know why the point about the concrete thing is mocked. Like I've dropped on the floor multiple times already and it's dinged up, but I'm not going to go "GOOGLE DESIGN FLAW" for that.

Though actually it's really impressive how my nexus 6p screen not even shown a single crack yet despite how many times I've dropped it, especially on like stone/concrete floors. The bezels are fucked though.

And those aren't even all of them.

I can think off a bunch of Indie games + big games that are announced for 2017 (like Mario or the new Assassin's Creed)

So you're telling me the nexus 6p isn't extremly fragile

i think assassins creed is going to slip into next year and we'll get another far cry game. this is just a hunch though

There is no context that makes you look good.

 

[Teddified]

Man just thinking about rorie's antics last night makes me laugh, the random just putting the screen protector on then taking it off, then sticking the tape on. lol

I'm trying to go for concrete release dates, I guess when it comes to gaming nothing is really concrete(dates may change by E3 or someshit).

Crazy thing is only 3 from that list are not on PS4 (Halo Wars 2, BOTW, Snipperclips). And that's probably not a complete list. Also MLB 17 The Show is out on March 28th.

Clearly MS needs to go to japan and make sure they get Puyo Puyo Tetris on Scorpio.

Everybody should have Puyo Puyo Tetris! Hopefully it it's successful, someone could attempt to bring back Tetris Battle Gaiden to current consoles. I mean, all the Giant Bomb classics already seem to be (Windjammers, Puyo Puyo Tetris, etc.)

Huh, I didn't know the 6p has a reputation for fragility, because mine has been a tank honestly.

 

[Spirited]

I have no idea if it actually has a reputation about being fragile it was more meant as a joke, I myself was linked that one earlier when someone joked about excessive violence being used in stress tests and that his arm would bend under the same amount of pressure.

EDIT: oh, robotrock just got banned? Wonder what that was about.

 

[Xater]

Destiny is also coming. That game should be big and hopefully quite improved from the first one.

robotrock banned?
Hmm, some of the posts in the Oscars thread perhaps.

 

[Data West]

night in the woods is great, there's a minigame where you smash lighttubes with a baseball bat

 

[Meneses]

Saw John Wick 2.

Pretty good.

I still prefer the first one.

Whyyyyyyy is the PAL and NA releases like 1 week apart.

I already have a baseball bat and light bulbs for real though.

Wasn't he banned very recently already?

Maaan I'm really trying to like night in the woods and conceptually I like the setting and mood of the premise and world, but I'm just not in the mood for the overbearingly "lol quirky" tone of the writing right now. If it was a bit more reserved and less concerned with trying to be funny all the time it would go down a lot smoother.

I feel like this happens more and more. Must be hard to do clever and funny characters without it, because it's really the tone of our time.

Matt Rorie. Destroyer of Worlds.

They are my favorite gifs of the week.

[Catvoca]

Did someone say Rorie gifs?

Yeah, he was banned only like last week for something. Hopefully it's only a short one again.

 

[Exterminieren]

I could see myself getting very into Night in the Woods if I get the chance. I like the look of what that game's doing.

Weird that those Joycon things just fly straight off Jeff's Switch.
Are they not supposed to click in?

 

[Strax]

Drew is everywhere

Drew is everywhere

This isn't a Michelle Branch tweet!

 

[EdReedFan20]

Drew is everywhere

I'd be genuinely interested to see if Giant Bomb's visits by people have been affected at all by Drew's meme craze and if those numbers dip back down, stay steady, or continue to build (i.e. new visitors are intrigued by what Giant Bomb offers as entertainment and continue to visit).

He dropped it, I think.

Seeing that Middle-Earth rumor (cleary real, though) makes we wonder why in the interim since the release of the first game, has no one tried to ape the Nemesis System (or has someone?)? This Fall will mark three years since its release. That's plenty of time for someone to create their own version of the Nemesis System. I mean, that's probably what helped elevate the game to GOTY status for many place (like GB), so it's not like it was a throwaway gimmick or something.

 

[jbug617]

He said he dropped it and it flew off. Since then it doesn't click

It wasn't that good and isn't something broad enough to be aped by other games.

no one, no one, no one cares about the source of memes.

I mean, how often have you sought out the original source of a meme?

 

[Basileus777]

no one, no one, no one cares about the source of memes.

They've commented on it and said no.

Seeing all this positive Yakuza 0 talk makes me wonder if this could be Sony's best year in terms of PS4 games, especially those that have scored well. I mean, in terms of exclusives, they already have Horizon (out on Tuesday), Gravity Rush 2, Nioh (which they took over publishing of), and Yakuza 0 (timed? console?). Not to mention, Resident Evil VII has the PS4 exclusive VR mode, which, by all accounts, is incredibly well done. All of these were released in January and February. MLB The Show 17 is out next month (and while many of you don't care for sports games, that series sells like hotcakes and the scores are always in the 80-90 range).Nier: Automata is also out in March (out now in Japan) as a console exclusive. I wonder if they can keep it up or if there will be a dry spell. I don't know (off the top of my head) what other exclusives are coming within the next few months (or even longer than that).

(I know I'm probably missing some JRPGs or something)

This is what 2014 shoulda been, or at least 2015. Good lawd.

I feel I'm real close to impulse buying a Switch but Zelda being literally the only game I want to play at launch is a really big bummer.
