what's this about?

Jeff was a guest on a podcast who had also interviews Alex, Dan and most recently Vinny

in this one he talks a bit about the interviewing process and how it has changed on a whole due to the industry and also what Giantbomb looks at.

I finally started FF XV this game is weird as fuck

its like Kingdom Hearts x Yakuza x American Truck Simulator

The open world and side content are fairly good through out. Kind of wish I could say the same thing about the overall story and combat by the end.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

so you're telling me Dan an idea for a premium feature and it came to fruition

that's so unlike him

whats he gonna do next

some sort of mario party?

 

[Skyzard]

Start Big Trouble on Murder Island at 1h27mins, skip to the good one.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Maybe with Dan's newfound love of Blade Runner and him not knowing about the game from 97, he can get them to start Random PC Game: Blade Runner over again.

I am at peace with most of the things they've forgotten about or abandoned, but I still want that particular video after all these years.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Jeff wanted a wrestling ring for that last Big Live Live show but it was denied, LOLOL

HOLY SHIT YAKUZA

This is where I"m at

Nishitani is so fucking cool holy fuck. Man. I'd want him to be my bro.

 

[daveo42]

So Whippy is right. The House in Fata Morgana is already real good and supposedly the first portion of the game is the weakest.

It's crazy how they made a guy who feels up girls likable.

Shit's popping off: https://mixer.com/jeffgerstmann

ie. I think Jeff is trying to see if he can break mixer.

What door are you up to?

Finished it last night and i loved it.

Thing is while i found the early parts weak they serve a purpose in a really rad way.

I only just started the first door this evening, but it got it's hooks in me real fast. Way faster than I expected even given the comments about the early game.

 

[Lunar FC]

3 minutes into Murder Island and Alex already passed over a level 3 helmet thinking it's level 1. ��

I mean it's a personal thing for me also. I just really can't get into that sort of prose.

Dearest Mell~

I read a text description of RAW this week and it sounded pretty good.

 

[yami4ct]

I honestly feel like I've heard every VN recommendation ever come with the 'yo it starts slow but gets great' qualifier. After playing a bunch of VNs, I've become immune to 'slow' starts at this point.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think it's usually because we compare them as games instead of novels, where game stories usually shirk slow build ups to layer in story.

Also House in fata morgana does that yoko taro thing where things that initially seem shallow gets super duper layered.

 

[ST2K]

I'm getting annoyed by the guys talking about random BS in the middle of a cutscene in BitE and then getting all confused/asking if they missed a line/etc. when they don't know what's going on. I like the random nonsense talk when they're screwing about, but man, it's just frustrating when there's actual story happening.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I just turned on the Murder Island archive and they've gotten really lucky right out of the gate: a completely empty town, Jeff found a Vector, and Ben got disconnected. Is this the run>???

If the story was good maybe they wouldn't talk over it.

lol

this is Giant Bomb mate

 

[Hasney]

Well it is, so I don't know what to so. They talk over plenty of good things anyway.

No this was the PPV on Sunday

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I like that they usually see the person that eventually kills them way ahead of time and still die.

Completely different from how I seem to always die never knowing where the bullets are coming from.

 

[ST2K]

If the story was good maybe they wouldn't talk over it.

They could be watching Citizen Kane and Dan would derail the Rosebud reveal with questions about whether a sled and a toboggan are the same thing. Alex would then make a reference to a movie no one's heard of or a Simpsons episode, and Vinny would make up a story about how toboggans were used by the Carthaginians to cross the Alps and invade Rome. Dan would believe him and then talk about Roman Reigns as the movie credits play.

 

[Liamc723]

...It is.

 

[broncobuster]

Speaking of Citizen Kane, they should do Films & 40s for The Big Hit.

 

[Wunder]

there are many parts of Yakuza 0 that could be seen as boring or you could talk over, the story cutscenes are not one of them

 

[Tubobutts]

How much did Dan talk over the Metal Gear cutscenes which are, as we all know, telling the greatest story of all time?

 

[Antiwhippy]

They usually just stayed silent or talk about the scene itself.

So yeah.

Obviously mgs >>> yakuza.

 

[Zoggy]

What if Jeff only hires people that are worse at video games than him so he always looks superior.

 

[Catvoca]

As a part of the interview process all the hires have to play NFL Blitz and lose to Jeff

 

[Wunder]

man if you see people in the distance, why would you just hide inside a room. You can get seen from third person so easily cmon maaaan

 

[Twin Tails]

Dan cries during MGS cutscenes. You know he ain't gonna talk over them.

Let's hide inside this room with only one way in and out.

 

[Jintor]

vinny dropping diet truthbombs

 

[Twin Tails]

excited for a new bllsl
i hope geoff gets to make it as big as he hopes

 

[Meneses]

Nishitani is cool. And due to them not really playing the other games and not knowing Majima from there it's understandably lost on them that

Spoiler

he's the one Majima bases his future personality on.

I think Majima might mention it further along. It's still a bit too jarring within this game, though.

 

[Joeku]

I did a banner.

It took me over five episodes of Twin Peaks to mask this.

IIRC your unused promo code will expire once you renew. They then give you a new one to use.

 

[strafer]

I love D

 

[Red UFO]

D has come to.

D has come to.

DeeDee!

Dark dreams don't die is my favourite d game.
