More like Sssssssssstyle.
I need to go to sleep.
It better be in Best Styyyyyyyle. I'm sure Jeff, Vinny, Alex and even Ben will vouch for that.
I can see Alex putting it into his personal top ten. Not sure about Ben tho. Guess I'll wait and see if he talks about it some more next week.
I like the vest, but where are all them skin tight body suits almost everyone gets?
It should make the list for Style, Music and GotY, but that does rely on both Ben and Alex pushing hard for the game. If we are lucky, Vinny will have had some time to put into the game as I don't see much support from anyone else on staff. Possibly Jason, though he hasn't had too much pull in GotY talks previously.

DUSK looks a lot more like what I'd want from this kind of game

Strafe seems like it would have been a lot more appealing if it came out before Doom 2016. That game kind of ate everyone's lunch when it comes to showing how to bring back that 90s FPS.

Taking a break from Persona 5 55 hours
in and bought Nier Automata this morning. My curiosity is too strong and Persona 5 keeps dramatically shifting between interesting and boring.

Potential lack of iconic level design due to it all being generated is what I fear with that game.
More than potential. has any game with randomly generated levels ever been praised for its level design?

"I'm a big Smash Bros. fan but one of my biggest problems with it is the insanely high barrier to entry"
Probably, just don't want to write the game off wholesale without checking it out. But for me personally, what I remember fondly about the late 90s shooters are the levels and the guns. Strife seems to have the aesthetics down but I'm not sure about the rest. May end up being a case of style over substance.

Man, I got forced out early today on a mild hangover to go "do my job" and such, but at least the sweet sweet sounds of Dan Ryckert gave me the kind of jarring rush it takes to stay functional a few hours.

I'm not gonna say Spelunky and Rogue Legacy had great levels, but I would have stopped playing them a lot sooner if they were just pre-made levels.

Yeahhhh, just played a bit of STRAFE and it isn't that great, unfortunately. The weapons feel bad, the enemies just sort of run at you from all directions due to lack of real level design, it runs poor (which is mind-boggling), and also has a real lack of direction (art and overall design.) I'm sorry to say that I'm gonna have to refund :/

Ben said it in the Rivals of Aether QL, but mostly in reference to competitive Melee.
That's a shame. I loved their original announcement trailer.

The tutorial is pretty neat! They filmed low quality FMV stuff and made the gameplay sections look the same.

I guess that makes sense. Competitive Smash is not even the same game.
Spelunky?
Finished both. I think Nier is easily the better game.

No Jeff, the stage announcement is going to be the return of Razor Callahan.

I'm expecting lots of praise for Prey on the Bombcast. I've been juggling Nier and Prey in the beginning but I've reached a point in Prey that I just want to focus on playing it. It's ridiculously good and satisfying, those audio cues(you know how satisfying the guitar riff in COD4 is? This has an abundance of it). It's a shame that the combat itself is not as good as everything else but engaging the enemies in multiple ways make it fun. Can't wait to listen to the archive.
I forgot Strafe releases today, going to have to save it for Summer. Balls deep in Prey & Nier at the moment.
Of course it won't but at least everyone will get to say their piece about it.
In a world where we don't get big ass new IPs, it's really good. Not only the world is extremely well realized with the interconnected tribes as they each differ from one another in the way they treat or view the world but the story of how technology and mystical myths are smartly weaved in the world itself with the tragedy of a long and forgotten world is very fascinating. Aloy is also a top contender for best new character.
It helps that the game is good if not great as well.

From who? Did you see how Brad played it? No one there is going to like it all that much, I'm fairly certain. Maybe Jason? He liked Dishonored 2.
There was really good Prey talk on the latest Waypoint Radio. Everyone there is into it and had smart things to say. Good shit. I like the Bombcast still but every time they talk about a game it's pretty much one person who played it explaining it and the rest occasionally asking a question. Those are my least favorite parts.
whatever day they played it on video
cause it was weird how much they seemed to be into it yet hated retro city rampage when strafe just came off the exact same way with HEY REMEMBER THIS?

Giant Murdercast is live.
Nah.
I'm actually sure the average game with procedural generation has put more care and effort into their level design than the average game without it.
Pretty obvious he meant the level of entry to playing at a competitive level, not just mashing buttons on the couch with your little brother.

Persona 5 fucking owns but I won't take anyone seriously who plays both P5 and Nier and rates the former higher.
