Kinda hard to tell you the chat is not working right if I can't even get into it, Rorie!

 

[SmithnCo]

Let's launch our platform with the most generic game ever made

 

[Incandenza]

"...Where the fuck have you been, Brad?"

 

[Dug]

What did Brad say? I wasn't really paying attention.

 

[Red UFO]

[def sim]

random creepy info after long silence. quality stuff from brad

three books in the harvard library was bound in human flesh apparently

three books in the harvard library was bound in human flesh apparently

Not true, apparently. It's supposed to be sheepskin.

While the mystery surrounding what this particular book was bound in has clearly been solved, the covers of the other two books allegedly bound by the body of a person still haven’t been cracked.

One of three, at least.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Didn't manage to catch the live show, but it sounded hilarious. I hope they don't censor it when they put it up on the site.

I really dislike how quicklooks are now "its basically borderlands, metal slug and monster hunter"

so damn irritating.

 

[Jintor]

Nothing wrong with a good meets meets meets.

I think that has more to do with the games themselves. They have been looking at a lot of indie games lately, most of which largely draw influence from other games.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Sounds like Brad is going to TI4. See ya there Brad

its the ol elevator pitch

c'mon archive

c'mon archive

I am also waiting anxiously for it. I think my monthly ends tonight (or tomorrow) so I was really hoping to get this out of it real quick

I should have just left the chat page up from earlier.

 

[FStop7]

I don't know what to think of Mercenary Kings. I love Metal Slug games. I mean it. And I love Bionic Commando, which seems like it's also an influence. But that capture mission that Brad did really put me off on the game despite the awesome art and music.

Yeah... I'm feeling the same way. I think I could get really into it if it wasn't for that. I hated it happening in Monster Hunter and it seems wayyyy worse here.

 

[Beelzeboss]

yeah I don't know what they were thinking with the bosses running away.

I played a bit of Monster Hunter and it always felt like you could keep up when monsters ran away. I remember even using the same shortcuts to track them.

Seeing a big ass robot running into an even bigger tunnel that you can't use just seems really stupid.

 

[Blastoise]

UPF audio is fucked up again.

 

[Consequence]

Upf is up but I have audio sync issues on the High version.

 

[FStop7]

UPF is up but the audio is way out of sync

edit - look.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Just tuned in and saw this:



...They have my interest.

Photobombing, Brad's back!

 

[hamchan]

"You wanna see the pretty lady?"

Bwahahaha

 

[kai3345]

there a UPF chicago archive anywhere?

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

Upf is up but I have audio sync issues on the High version.

Out of sync on medium too. Will watch Monday then.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Download it and apply a +500ms adjustment to audio and it will be in sync.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I feel like videos are being uploaded with errors pretty frequently lately.

are you using internet 11?

It kind of saddens me that when Dave Lang was playing that open-world FPS based around scavenging a barren wasteland and avoiding horrible mutants, every single person was saying "It's like a singleplayer DayZ" instead of just saying "It's STALKER", because that's literally STALKER.

Are you telling me STALKER is a singleplayer Day Z?!?!?!??!

 

[Chance Hale]

Wish they would check out the Stalker series at some point. The learning curve is rather high but enough random, crazy things can happen(especially in Call of Pripyat) that I think it could be fun to watch.

Patrick played CoP once.

 

[Chance Hale]

Patrick played CoP once.

More!

There's an awful bit in the CoP quicklook where Dave is saying how the game isn't a looker and Vinny asks if he has the settings on high and Dave replies "No, no we've got them pretty low" >_>

 

[Red UFO]

This Mercenary Kings game seems fucking stupid.

 

[Data West]

This Mercenary Kings game seems fucking stupid.

Yep. And the 'inspired by' art style makes me think more 'ripped off' by artists that aren't anywhere near as good as the originals. And the camera's way too zoomed in.

That game came out in 2007, how about making a reference to a game not released like seven years ago.

Swearing and violence are alright, but boob lady tech demo goes way too far!

The reaction was so ridiculous....

 

[Chance Hale]

Yep, completely absurd and something I've observed on many a gaming stream. I remember dtoid shutting down the Shadows of the Damned stream because of breasts, while being perfectly alright with people getting horribly disemboweled and other such things.

 

[Indignate]

While it made for a funny moment, it was weird how embarrassed some of them were because of OH NO BREAST! on the show while, as you've said, they've said and shown much worse.

Maybe it's a CBS thing? No nudity even on paid content? Maybe that's why Jeff did his fake but still real boss anger at Brad.

 

[ArjanN]

Seemed to me more like Brad was being Brad at the game.

 

[Zoggy]

whatever man i went to that site and saw her for myself

Spoiler

they modeled EVERYTHING

I think they found it hilarious but I also think they don't want to be shut down by CBS for showing nude ladies live on stream.

Yeah, wish they would talk more about innovative AAA games. Some of them even have cover systems!

Nah, the bosses disappear way too quickly.

STALKER: Call of Pripyat came out in 2010, I didn't realise a game that's 4 years old was obviously beyond being a reference point. Also, if you look at the post I quoted, the GB Staff refer to Borderlands which came out in 2009 and Metal Slug which came out in 1996.

 

[buy teh haloz]

I dunno, I played through the same bit today and the boss didn't run away at all. I think it's just that Brad got unlucky.

Dude, I love STALKER, but it's not like it's a super popular game compared to a borderlands or incredibly iconic of a certain gametype and era like metal slug.

Yeah, the time in which it is escaping in seems ridiculous.

"Wby are they using as a reference point this thing I don't especially care for instead of this thing I do especially care for!"
