Having now finished the quick look, seems like they like being able to explore akiba and stripping people, but just not the visual novel bits.

Which is fair enough.

 

[Myggen]

Dan should start a Tumblr page. All sorts of revelations will be brought to the world.

Better to reveal that slowly on the Bombcast

Yeah, their main problem seemed to be how slow it was in the beginning when they expected insanity all the time, and the localization being pretty awful.

You're right, the world isn't ready for it yet.

 

[BeerSnob]

Patrick if you're reading this thread, thank you for doing another Spookin' with Scoops!

 

[YuriLowell]

I don't like Dancing Girls face.

Apparently it's a pretty long game if you don't just rush through the main story. the first hour was probably not the best section to QL.

I don't like Dancing Girls face.

as long as you're not a jerk about it...

 

[Antiwhippy]

I was about to say that I can't wait for them to look at the upcoming senran kagura shinovi versus and rhythm game, but then I remembered that they don't do vita quick looks.

 

[Zaph]

Good thing none of them are jerks about their preferences

Spoiler

except Jeff sometimes

.

I've never felt bothered by any of the guys going in on things - including stuff I really like. Even Jeff is quite mild (by internet standards) and funny with it. I guess it's one of those things that some people are more sensitive to than others - like when a comedian starts spouting offensive things you know they don't really think. If it's entertaining, anything goes IMO.

Than again, I think Witcher 1 is better than Witcher 2 and Bioshock Infinity was a fantastic game that improve upon the underwhelming Bioshock. Opinions, hey?

Any idea when the PS TV comes out? I'm sure they'll QL some games once they actually can.

Nevermind, I can google. Oct 14, two weeks after Senran Kagura. There's still hope?

 

[TraBuch]

I just don't get how Jeff was able to enjoy Persona 4 so much.

Fantastic, well written games are universal.

Hopefully, though I dunno if they'll be compatible.

I was just thinking about the comedian analogy myself and I see it as a skilled comedian can get away with it whereas with a crappy one it just doesnt work. Thats how I see Jeff and Dan in someways. Jeff I will take things he says in good humour, Dan however so far at least I feel like he is actually looking down on this thing/people.

 

[Renpatsu]

A good game is a good game.

Also Jeff has always said it's the characters in Persona 4 that really did it for him.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Do we have any idea what that secret thing for today is gonna be by the way?

Spoiler

Mario Party 2 Party???

I want to say either Mario Party or Dan and Jeff doing that yoga thing they talked about in the QL. I am fine with either, hell i'm fine with any livestream.

 

[Zaph]

I hope it's not Mario Party. They need to leave at least a month between games to keep it entertaining.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

What was the game Drew said he took home on the bombcast that some of the guys said they should all play next?

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that I was bothered by it. I think I would have gone insane by now seeing how I follow the site since it launched. Also, that's the stuff that makes GB the only remotely watchable gaming website out there, so there you go.

Culdcept saga.

"Suck it, schoolboy."

 

[Consequence]

It's just going to be Dan trying all of that aioli he was sent.

I'm not that lucky...

 

[Phatmac]

This Akiba game doesn't look good at all.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I was hoping that The Long Dark would be a game based on Thud!.

 

[Tucah]

Akiba's Trip looks like a bad game. The loading times are frequent, the writing/localization is spectacularly awful from the hour in the QL and the combat doesn't look particularly interesting either.

The QL was pretty solid though.

Oh, this thread is about to get super anime, isn't it?

 

[Volotaire]

I'm cracking up on this Anime quicklook. The intro sequence, the first guy, the Alex Navarro lookalike, and the Game Over.

I actually really cracked up at the ending. Dan's "No. Not doing that." was so on-point, lol.

 

[Dragon]

Knowing what we know about Dan, I don't think him being confused or unhappy with incredibly foreign games is at all unexpected.

Everyone is inconsistent, but fuck if Metal Gear isn't incomprehensible to the majority of gamers, let alone a random dude on a street.

Psst, painting Dan as some sort of xenophobe is much more convenient.

 

[Wunder]

I wanna buy this akiba game

 

[TharpDaddy]

Knowing what we know about Dan, I don't think him being confused or unhappy with incredibly foreign games is at all unexpected.

I don't think that's fair. Some of his favorite games are foreign. Metal Gear and Tails of the Sun for example, he also recently said that he thought One Piece was pretty cool.

 

[Incandenza]

"Otaku? Oh, that's like Otacon, from Metal Gear."

So far Dan has made a '70s rock reference and a Metal Gear reference. Can he slip in a wrestling reference and complete the trinity?

EDIT: Brock Lesnar reference achieved. 9 minutes to completion.

Yes he does.

 

[Tucah]

Has Dan been in a video without a wrestling reference?

 

[Fox318]

Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed actually looks like it could be fun.

 

[ashbash159]

Any indication for when Spookin' with Scoops will be live?

I had it minimized and I was scared when Patrick was scared haha. No clue. Maybe it takes more effort because PK's in Chicago.

 

[Fox318]

Hipster quality anime George Carlin

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I liked the Akihabara QL because Jeff was at least trying to give the game a chance... but Dan was so overly negative and not in a fun way that even Jeff seemed to actually no wanting to go in one of his usual rants.

In any case, I bet you that the no localized dialogue is not so much better.

 

[Gagaman]

Seeing games as niche as this get full localization with dubbing yet Sega can't be bothered with PSO2 and any Yakuza at all....

sigh..

 

[Fox318]

Seeing games as niche as this getting translated is pretty cool.

If only the loading didn't look so bad.

 

[Incandenza]

I don't know you guys, I think Jeff and Dan are giving this game exactly as much respect as it deserves.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Is there a Japanese voice option in this game? The voice work was grating.

 

[Curufinwe]

You can never forget your first waifu.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

"This punk ass dork bar"

"Hey, a wrestling arcade machine!"

 

[Wunder]

They need to play this more

 

[dan2026]

Oh God when they walked past that hobo and it just said 'Free Spirit', I lost it.
Most I'd laughed in ages.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I don't know you guys, I think Jeff and Dan are giving this game exactly as much respect as it deserves.

I'm amazed Jeff didn't go all in right from the beginning. It's frighteningly inward-looking for a game. Note also how much fun Dan had with One Piece.

 

[LiK]

Dan is like if Vinny and Jeff had a baby.
