pubg is a third person shooter, you gonna fire me?

Get out of my office

replace all cut scenes in all games with the substitute

Jeff bringing up The Substitute never fails to make me laugh hysterically

 

[Piston Hyundai]

this is a really quiet stream

 

[Zacagawea]

I saw someone in chat talking shit about M&K with third person shooters too and I don't get it. at all. like what's the problem there?

 

[Death Metalist]

I'm one of the few that enjoyed the fuck out of the TEW. You could do some cool shit in that game the more you experiment with it, jank and all.

so you think you're fucking clever, huh

Spoiler

Players control Starkiller's renegade clone, a failure of Darth Vader's attempt to create a perfect secret apprentice.

Moving around with a keyboard is kinda awkward.

That said, the mouse is still so much better for aiming. Especially in a fast-paced game like Vanquish. Mouse is so precise, you don't even need bullet time to do really cool shit.

 

[Brashnir]

This game still does absolutely nothing for me.

 

[Salarians]

I like MadWorld and Anarchy Reigns, but they are not good

 

[SandwichMeat]

If the game never gives you a reason to experiment, then that's a valid complaint.

Game that forces you to experiment: MGSV

Game that doesn't, much to its detriment: Nier Automata

I agree that it's valid, It's just funny how to me how different I am when I play games. I love trying everything out at least a little bit, and I don't really care if the game isn't explicitly showing the benefits of all the options it gives to the player.

Although I do love the efforts games like MGSV make to force the player to adapt

This is the only thing I like about Anarchy Reigns

[MassiveNights]

On what planet is The Force Awakens a B-game?

Maybe in quality but I thought that wasn't a determining factor?

 

[bomma_man]

To me Vanquish felt like it needed a mouse (or wiimote) for aiming and freeing up a finger. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I don't know how you can play that game well without clawing.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'll bet Vanquish controls fucking great on a Steam controller.

 

[Salarians]

Vanquish is still good

Kari Wahlgren needs to be in more games

This is the only thing I like about Anarchy Reigns

can jeff take over and play trackmania

 

[OdysseusVA]

how are they able to make vanquish look so boring

 

[PinkCrayon]

Is the stream quality shit for anyone else?

 

[Brashnir]

can jeff take over and play trackmania

yes please.

 

[Tagyhag]

Treating it more like a cover shooter than Vanquish.

 

[Death Metalist]

This is now the "bitching about why the duders are playing 'Vanquish' like a cover shooter" Anticipation Station.

.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

forget Anarchy Reigns, Look Pimpin' is like top 10 final boss music

right up there with Last Springsteen and Greedy Game

Just as I suspected.

Yeah, it was a big budget title part of a multi-media push, it shouldn't qualify.

 

[Twin Tails]

its not great in some parts

 

[Brashnir]

protip: Vanquish is boring.

 

[J_Viper]

No you don't get it, you're not supposed to use cover!

>character dies in two bullets

 

[Tagyhag]

Eh I knew what to expect. Vanquish doesn't show off its maximum potential unless you're really good at it, and none of them ever said that they were.

No you don't get it, you're not supposed to use cover!

>character dies in two bullets

And that's why you boost dodge, infinite invincibility frames. Don't think Ben knows how to do it though.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

For as sincere and serious as it seems like it’s trying to be about ideals like sacrifice and duty, its glimpses of robot dance parties suggest sillier intentions, and yet I can’t tell if Vanquish is winking when it delivers midnight-movie-worthy lines like “We won’t let New York become the next San Francisco!” I guess it doesn’t really matter, I laughed anyway.

I really hope New York doesn't become the next San Francisco.

every fucking time Vanquish comes up, some elitist shitbag has to come in and pretend that the game is only good because they're so fucking good at it.

Chill bro, we're all friends here

Aside from Jeff and Brad

 

[SandwichMeat]

I can't think of many instances where I was watching the guys play a game they're really good at? The only thing I can think of is Patrick and his Spelunky streams, he got pretty good at that, pretty sure he got the speedrun achievement

 

[Death Metalist]

There were flashes where Ben was kind of risking it and this game is all about being out there and risking your life to pull off some sick ass shit.

 

[Blitzrules240]

GB OT30: Fuck man, that shit is round.

 

[Curufinwe]

Ben using kb+m for a third person shooter.

#FireBen

That's the best way to play Max Payne 1 and 2.

Dan playing Soul Calibur obviously.

Jeez dude, who shit in your cereal this morning?

It's ok if you don't like Vanquish, but you can't deny that the game was meant to be played differently than a standard cover shooter.

You can totally play and beat the game like that, but you're not getting the full Vanquish experience.

I don't see what's elitist about that.

It's like saying that you're not getting the full Bayonetta experience if you play in auto-mode.

 

[OdysseusVA]

its not elitist if its fact


pls link large jifs

 

[Piston Hyundai]

it'd be funny if they played Hotline Miami or Max Payne 3 or something and people were saying it was in fact the game that was boring and not the people playing it

and anybody who disagreed, no matter how politely, was an elitist shitbag

 

[Archaix]

protip: Vanquish is boring.

Sorry to hear about how you're terrible at Vanquish

Maybe calm down a bit or fuck off for a while.

 

[Megasoum]

I think I'm gonna re-watch the Binary Domain quicklook later...


BIIIIGGGG BOOOOOO

Nobody talks shit about my baby MAX PAIN 3

 

[Teddified]

Now Max Payne 3 was brought up, time for a 3 page argument about it.

True, I've never seen such high level Voldo play

Amen. Cancel whatever stupid Quantum Break sequel they're probably working on.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I've never played Vanquish

But I can say that Ben is in fact, not playing Vanquish right.
