Has there been a bunch of Metroidvanias that I've missed that have led to you guys being put off the genre?

I just don't enjoy exploration from a 2D sidescrolling perspective any more. After experiencing fully 3D worlds, I can't go back. It doesn't feel immersive.

Just people placing all 2d side scrollers in the same basket.

The fact that Dan took it on the plane with no guides/people/etc. to help him understand anything pretty much guaranteed he'd completely hate it. I don't care for the game myself either. I liked the time I spent with Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice Delta more.
Also because it just doesn't seem like his kind of game, even if he did really enjoy WoW.
I screamed, "fuck me," and paused the video after hearing that one person thank the guys for keeping up the site after July 2013. I really want to skip this guy's question.
Do people bring Ryan up at panels just because they want to show they sympathize with the crew, or are they looking for catharsis by bringing him up, or is it something else entirely?

I'm actually sad that Drew doesn't seem to be enjoying MGS3 much.

Me too. I think it might be to do with them recording the last three eps together. He'll come around!
I kinda feel like powering through the first one over night.
That seems like something befitting of the game, screw sleep.

Yesss do it!
I like this one.
Bummed myself out a little bit thinking of the Hotline Miami quicklook. Ryan's gleeful joy of discovery at the ultraviolence unfolding before him was something special. I think I want to rewatch that now in anticipation of the QL for HM2.
So my guess it's Brad/Dan for the HM2 QL. I'd like to hear Dan's thoughts on the soundtrack since I remember him dismissing electronic music as just some "techno crap."

Oh, the irony! Is there any other way to watch this?

You can say the same thing about MGS3.
that one place where stealth is pretty important to get through is gonna drive him nuts. it did for me. hehehehe
Yup, pretty much this.
Well they all have very similar mechanics and the 2D view just doesn't do it for me anymore, thus I get no excitement out of them.
MGS4 plays a lot better than MGS3 does though.
I just got to the part of the Bombcast where Drew emphatically states that he's enjoying MGS3. y'all overreacting.
Then Brad and Jeff who maybe spent 30 minutes between them playing the game said it controls bad and I'm literally throwing things across the room god damn it people we've been playing video games our entire lives the internet is my perpetual hate machine
ok im good

MGS has never played really well until Ground Zeroes imo.
That's the first time I've ever played a metal gear game where the gameplay was the best part.
Drew's a good guy. there were times where it looked like he was frustrated in MGS1 and 2. so any frustrations in 3 is expected.
i have yet to play GZ but it's legitimately considered the best playing as an action stealth game.

I think Drews enjoying MGS3. Hes' uninhibited by Dan or mission shit and what not and really just gunning through it. I don't get the impression that he hates it at all. And granted, they don't really tell you how to get through the lab until you're knee deep in radio calls and you learn about interrogating.
No, that's the thing. You don't need to call anyone or interrogate anyone. That was just a comedy of errors that escalated from them missing a staircase.
There is a completely un-obscured staircase near the entrance to the lab that they did not descend and have not found since they entered. You go down the stairs and proceed through a few rooms and then the game progresses.
GB produced panel vid. Maybe we'll get a look at those shitty question askers

Really? I didn't see shit. And when I call back to that moment, that area bugged me too. I just agree with Drews feelings, that area is...weird.

None of the MGS games past 1 play bad but 4 in particular has very accessible controls. Controls like most modern stealth games(ie, you can also play it as a pure shooter) with additional movement options like rolling on your back. You can also crouch walk.

It plays soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I adore its controls and the new mechanics they introduced. Phantom Pain is gonna be amazing.
download so you don't have to use their shit player

To shoot in first person mode, you have to hold down L1+R1 and triangle at the same time. It just seemed...different and not really better. The encounter design in MGS4 is also far less clever than 3 too. Drew's going to have fun screwing up a brand new control scheme in 4 lol.

It has a lot of long cutscenes, might be better to watch MGScanlon.

even like that one game that I forgot the name of that was all qtes and crapcom sold the true ending as dlc and never ported it to pc
Fair enough, was it actually true that it has around 90 minute long cutscenes?

Yup, that is true.
