Something was definitely up with Vinny's game even before the invisible house massacre. His inventory was taking an eternity (relatively) to open up.

It may have had something to do with that Windows 10 pop-up he got at the start asking him to restart due to an issue with the hard drive (I can't remember exactly what it said). I run PUBG on a disk drive and it works that drive loudly the entire time I play, with the disk-access LED on my tower permanently red (no flashing). I've never had a game do that before. It hitches rarely for me--nothing like what Vinny was seeing--but whenever it hitches I'm sure to hear the disk drive revving up and putting in work.

You need to lean out of the car before shooting. Shooting inside the car is effectively shooting straight ahead, thus Vinny killed Jeff through the front seat.

Also look at that smirk.

It might have been an accident, but Vinny knew.

 

[Jintor]

dan screaming in terror as he lands naked in a barn with two dudes is hilarious

 

[kiyomi]

I used to love this show, wish they would bring it back.

 

[Xater]

That grenade moment was great.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Probably. I think the real problem is that the actual audience for "immersive sims" is small, but people in the industry think they're way more popular than they actually are because PC devs worship at the Looking Glass altar. It's an echo chamber. There's a conflation of influential with popular for that reason.

Which is a bummer, I love this style of game more than anything and Arkane are fantastic developers. Enjoying the new wave of this genre while it lasts, at least we still got System Shock 3 coming too.

 

[Antiwhippy]

What wave though?

I can't really think of much else like it released lately or coming soon.

 

[Jintor]

the shack fight in this game is amazing. it's so stupid

Deus Ex and Dishonored 2?

I really wish we could've seen Alex's angle and his reaction, would've been incredible.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Deus Ex and Dishonored 2?

So like another game from the same developer and one other game (that most likely killed the franchise)?

I guess to me a wave is more of a bigger movement.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Prey, Dishonored 2, and Deus Ex: MD most recently, that's 3 AAA games in what, 8 months? That's ignoring any smaller budget games like Consortium which had promising looking sequel footage but not sure if it's actually coming out. Going back farther you could say it kicked off with Dishonored 1 and Deus Ex: HR.

It's just the first time in a while that there've been that many larger budget games of that nature. Call it a little wave or whatever you want.

Hey you asked. It's still a genre that is very underepresented. It's probably rarer to get an immerssive sim than a new arcade racer these days.

 

[Jintor]

yeah but where's my god games tho

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh, guess it's semantics at some point, and a pretty ill-defined one. I'll concede.

yeah but where's my god games tho

Nier is a game about gods.

 

[Xater]

yeah but where's my god games tho

No one likes those.

Spoiler

I am actually with you. I want to see more of them as well. Don't agree on B&W though, those games sucked.

 

[Jintor]

i don't think B&W was a very good game but i really enjoyed the feeling it had of using the hand to do basically everything, even if that was 'make shitty gestures' and 'throw things'

 

[Jintor]

whelp i just got to the glitch island part of the stream and yeah this is good

 

[Xater]

i don't think B&W was a very good game but i really enjoyed the feeling it had of using the hand to do basically everything, even if that was 'make shitty gestures' and 'throw things'

The hand aspect was a neat idea. My biggest issue actually were the creatures. I never felt like babying those was any fun and slowed the game down too much.

 

[oti]

God of War has the word god in the title. Best god game. Most god game.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I am very curious where Arkane will go from here, sales of Dishonored 2 and seemingly now Prey six months later is a pretty rough double whammy.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I kinda feel that it's not really their fault though? Bethesda isn't exactly doing that great marketing their games.

Also I haven't gotten it yet but the thing that's still holding me off (other than the PS4 controls thing) is that it looks kinda bland? The environments and black goo creatures isn't exactly awe inspiring horror sci fi designs to me.

 

[Catvoca]

God of War has the word god in the title. Best god game. Most god game.

NBA2K16 has Tha Hoop Gawd so it's clearly the best gawd game.

Yeah gameplay wise Prey seems cool, but I am with you on the enemy design. That has always been my issue with it. Odd that they went with it in the first place considering the backlash the XCOM shooter got for going in that direction.

 

[Tubobutts]

Why can't people remember that Tha Hoop Gawd represented NBA Live and not NBA2k?

 

[NumberThree]

It's one of those games where I can only remember the first level. I never had any desire to play the game further.

I mean I kinda get the point of why they would go that route but it's still just boring when they get exposed.

My apologies.

 

[LiK]

Went back to watch Bradth of the Wild and holy shit. Brad found this

Spoiler

weird Horse god thing

and I never saw it. That thing freaked me out.

 

[Jintor]

I remember the game had a glitch where you could accidentally 'discipline/reward' another god's pet, and if you were a mean-spirited 10-year-old like myself, just beat the ever loving shit out of it. I mean, like, get really vicious. Just slap the fuck out of some poor giant cow.

 

[mhanna49]

Guys famitsu has screens of Dynasty Warriors 9

I hope GB talks about it

where does Ben stand on Dynasty Warriors

I hope he likes it

DW9 sounds interesting but I am hoping for a game that feels significantly different than 8. I cringe every time Koei, Omega Force or DW is talked about by the duders. Ben doesn't seem like a DW guy either.

🤔

Gawd will punish you, cat.

 

[Hindl]

Because no one cares enough to remember

 

[Bacon]

2k has demon Jordan. They have no use for da hoop gawd.

 

[mintyice]

this fucking player i swear to god

i actively dislike premium content because of this fucking playerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Jeff told me the new player was fine because it works for everyone else.

(The new player suuuuuucks)

 

[Antiwhippy]

If anything they are rebelling against tha hoop gawd.

Maybe you are oversharing here...

 

[Tubobutts]

If you stop caring about Tha Hoop Gawd, Tha Hoop Gawd might stop caring about you.

 

[Jintor]

Maybe you are oversharing here...

hey don't blame me. it's all peter molyneux's fault.

did i miss a beast in the east where they actually did the cabaret club stuff? I know I watched Kiryu do a shittonne of real estate

Murder Island best content 2017

Is this how Battlegrounds wins GOTY like Hitman last year?

 

[Jintor]

lmao this BiTE first substory

oh man i TOTALLY skipped a cabaret episode of BiTE. Fuck. I wish I didn't have a conveyancing assignment to do tomorrow so i could just veg the fuck out

 

[Hasney]

Is this how Battlegrounds wins GOTY like Hitman last year?

Depends if it comes out of early access this year or not.

 

[LiK]

Still haven't watched a single BitE episode. Been trophy hunting in P5 NG+ so Yakuza 0 is still unplayed. I guess I have a really good amount of videos to watch later this year.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm going to say battlegrounds won't win goty.

You can quote me on this.

It won't.

I'm just waiting for the trademark #Jeffturn on this game. It happens all the time.

I feel like it already has?

You can kinda feel that he's less into it the more it just became them all gathering equipment and then getting smoked before being able to have a proper fight.

 

[Incandenza]

Top 5 will be some ordering of Zelda, Mario, Horizon, Pubgrounds, and Nier.

 

[Jintor]

yeah like it looks great to watch and it'd probably be fun with a team, but i get the feeling my actual play experience would just be a lot of wandering around and then getting shot out of nowhere.
