Glad that Vinny's taken a trip back to tumblr. I know he's been a busy dude. Wish Alex had lasted on his for more than a few days.

man I loved Danger Mouse but a part of why it was good was that it was a product of its time.

Good to hear they're getting soundproofing. Not that I doubted a perfectionist like Vinny, but it is a little jarring in the quick looks they do. It's the only technical deficiency Giant Bomb's ever had that bothers me.

It's almost SOTC-bad. but in Brad's defense, the game gives you several ways to approach fighting a horde. None are necessarily wrong, but Dan's approach is definitely quick, easy, and pretty damn effective.
I am like 80% done but new content keeps me occupied.
This has been quoted already, but I'm excited too! Can't wait!
I likebee man and astronaut man
yes. Yes. I agree with both of these!
dont know. felt like branding is where the game fell apart for me. Shit got too easy.
Game was the best in the beginning when you were weak and tackling on warchiefs was hard. Running around with hundreds of dudes chasing you while you try to disappear and then stealth kill the leader.

I thought SoM was hard to the point of frustration early in the game and then easy to the point of boredom later on. I also thought it was pretty ugly (Triple H hair) and that it was way better in concept than execution.
I dunno.

Oh I'm definitely with you there

I thought this was about keeping to Tolkien-approved nomenclature and then I remembered the game has a literal branding mechanic.

Agreed.
There was a very brief window where the game was balanced well. It needed much better design (environment, encounter, enemy) on all fronts to stand up to, say, the Batman Arkham games. As it stands it's got a good core, but nothing else. (The story and especially the writing were junk.)
It was quite satisfying after struggling early in the game with the mobs and captains. I really enjoyed branding to mess with the mobs. Ah well
Just looking at it bores me to tears. I was so disappointed by that game

I remember when Brad said he didn't notice how bad the hair looked because he just changed the character skin after a few minutes
So I went into the menu and discovered that the version I had didn't have any alternate skins. :\

I'm getting a new 3DS in the mail today and i'm just starting to buy games for it.
If I don't care much for Etrain Odyssey but i really liked Persona 3 & 4, could i overlook the EO stuff and enjoy PQ?
also, do i need to have played the canonical fighting games to get what's happening? I kinda hate that they made those things canon, dammit
"Yeah. Fuck yeah!" (Jeff, only barely out of context)
No knowledge of the fighting games required. Unfortunately, I don't think you could overlook the EO gameplay. Sure, the battle system has new Persona elements but I doubt the battle system was your problem with EO to begin with. The cartography aspect is still in full effect.

the combat is like 70% Persona, with a few new elements.
for some reason like 90% of all common enemies are weak to either hama or mudo so the game gets really silly fast if you take Naoto
anyway you can turn on the automapping if it's the meticulous drawing that you don't like. If you don't like the EO "go a few rooms, open a shortcut, return to base, repeat" then you might want to skip this game.
oh, also the fighting games take chronological place well after this game (this one actually takes place somewhere in the middle of both P3 and P4 despite them not overlapping, etc)

so is PQ just a story driven dungeon crawler, then? I'm assuming the social link stuff isn't part of the game.
I guess the only thing now keeping me from jumping in is that it's long as all hell, but it's not like that's ever stopped me with a persona game before.

I put it down after the first dungeon but it seems like while you don't get social links you do still have the option to hang around with the various characters outside of dungeons, but there didn't seem to be any stats tied to it.
Believe me, you don't

Be careful what you wish for, I don't think I've heard a single positive thing said about that.

you're stupid
(but seriously every character could have Hiroshima in their urethras and MGS5 would still easily have the best gameplay of any MGS game)

the bastards
reminds me of the ffx-2.5 novel where Tidus gets his head blown off for kicking a blitzball
Strange timing on that. STILL EXCITED THOUGH!
