What's the last video to get as negative reaction as the latest Unplugged?

Metro redux QL maybe?

 

[stump sock]

Metro redux QL maybe?

hah, yeah probably. I haven't the D&D videos yet, but nobody's doing a good job of convincing me I should.

 

[funkystudent]

Ico/SOTC collection QL got a pretty bad reaction as well.

But let the record show Brad was indeed holding that grab button down!



Anyway never liked the Unplugged videos. Too slow and uneventful. Just a bunch of nice people sitting around a table playing a board game. It needs a asshole like Jeff added to it.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

I could never play a game with Dan sitting next to me. Constantly going "This is the coolest part" and looking at me so the whole time to see how I react to every single thing.

 

[santeesioux]

im definitely finding more use out of Subscribing for this than my Netflix sub.

All you really need is a subscription to GB and Crunchyroll.

God damn the writing in the metal gear games is awful

welcome to video games

I can imagine him doing that on his MacGruber date.

Finally catching up on the podcast

"I struggle to think of a video game story that in itself is the reason to play a game"

Brad please 999/VLR and Ace Attorney.

Maybe I have low standards...

Red Dead Redemption
Planescape: Torment
Mass Effect (mostly 1... but also 2 and 3 sort of)
Deus Ex
999/VLR
Knights of the Old Republic
Half-Life series
Arkham Asylum

no problem with hunting. by the end of 3, my inventory was always filled with nonperishable food. And if it wasn't, there is like snakes and crabs and shit EVERYWHERE.


injuries.... you rarely get injured enough for it to make a meaningful dent on your max hp. Your injuries also magically recover over time anyways because Snake can fix broken legs through sheer will, like a boss. A Big Boss.

 

[Lelcar]

Yep, if we're talking time used to price ratio, Giantbomb is easily the subscription with the most value to me.

When they came out with the subscription model I subscribed only to show my support for the duders, but it has turned out to be the most worthwhile service that I've ever subscribed to.

MGS3's voice acting, especially The Boss's, suffers from severe FFXitis, a terminal condition where the English voices randomly speed up and stop during cutscenes to accommodate Japanese lip flaps and still barely matches it a lot of times anyway.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

hah, yeah probably. I haven't the D&D videos yet, but nobody's doing a good job of convincing me I should.

I liked the video a lot, I went back and re-watched it even. But Dan takes a turn near the end that halts the game and they never recover. Hopefully not a sign of things to come.

I'll never understand the hatred for FFX's voice acting. I actually thought it was some of the best I've ever heard in a game. Meanwhile, people praise the terrible voice acting in Xenoblade. It makes no sense.

I came to FFX very late (like a couple years ago) and I honestly stopped playing the game due to that voice acting.

Then I played FF9 and loved it

[Necromanti]

I don't like The Boss' voice actor.

I like her in other roles, so it's the voice over direction I have a problem with.

Have you played FFX recently? Sure it was impressive at the time, but holy crap the voice acting in that game has aged terribly. Same with much of the writing, really.

so does the HD remaster not have dual audio?

wait this is Squeenix, I'm sure it doesn't

I haven't played it since it came out but FFX was pretty good for the most part. Tidus was the worst cuz it had that sped up issue which totally fucked up his VO. i'm sure it's not that great anymore but it was good for being their first effort.

I don't think Auron or Rikku are that bad. They fit their characters well enough.

Though it has been a couple years.

No this is Squeenix.

Please download 15 GB Japanese audio.

For sure, FFX was mostly praised for that stuff when it came out. But I think that's mostly because people had very low expectations when it came to VO at the time, and were impressed by the scope of that stuff in FFX more than anything else. If you go back to it now both the writing and the VO is mostly terrible, and I say that as someone who loved that game when it came out.

 

[Archaix]

FFX voice acting was never a half step above terrible. I liked the game more or less, but the VA was an obstacle more than anything.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Sokolov's VO sounds just like Solidus. Never noticed that before but it sure sticks out now that ive seen the two games being played so recently.

Also, FFX came out in a time where people were praising Shenmue for its voice work. Standards have changed, yo.

People were always really easy to please, they just defend different terrible things now.

 

[stump sock]

do you want to play a game of Lucky Hit?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

well i was, what, 15-16 when it came out? So not only was I young enough to think that FFX was actually a really good game but i was also into FF having voicework, even if that meant i had to listen to the whiny and inconsistent thoughts and feelings of Tidus.

Also, i wont hear a bad word about Shenmue outside of its voicework. Shenmue was the reason i got into VF, so plenty of good came from it.

 

[LiK]

Terrible is quite an exaggeration. FFX was good for the time. Games like RE1 and Shenmue had terrible VO even for its time.

 

[Archaix]

The two main characters were all the way awful. Some of the supporting cast was tolerable, mostly because they didn't have as much opportunity to be awful. Tidus and Yuna speaking Simlish would have been more convincing as real people.

naw, it's the forced and unnatural romance that makes Yuna a chump. She holds her own much better in X-2, whereas Tidus is always shitty. Ughhhhhh daddy issues, uggggghhh my inner monologue is thoughtful and reflective yet i'm a complete idiot and a dolt who whines all day and has no redeeming qualities.

Dude could go suck an egg.

 

[Zaph]

Wow, what a great first episode of MGS3. With an opening song/intro like that, I fully imagine this being the best one yet.

Yep, Tidus is an awful character.

Can't wait for next Tuesday. MGS3 is so awesome. Drew will be blown away by the ending.

 

[Corgi]

something about Boss's audio mix and BG music... nothing about it screams like someone that was the soldier that singlehandedly won WW2.

He's halfway through it already?!

Lol, this one stuck out to me. I don't remember the pacing of the dialogue being as noticeable in MGS2, wonder why.

 

[TraBuch]

He's playing MGS, not The Order.

 

[repeater]

Wait.. Drew and Dan are playing Final Fantasy X now??
