Giant Bomb |OT31| I Think it Might Be for Show

I don't understand sports fans. Why does everyone hate The Patriots when they're certifiably the best team and Brady is unquestionably the best quarterback? Why not cheer for the team that wins all the time instead of a worse team that you happen to live near?

Sports game QL's are always fun.

Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback. And wow, the Madden story actually looks pretty good. Might try to rent it

It's a good thing people didn't know how absolute shit Dan was at XCOM when he reviewed XCOM 2. I could see that review blowing up and being like that Polygon Doom video.

I think he mostly scored down due to the bugs and glitches he encountered.

See the funny thing is I don't think it would have been as entertaining because Austin would be really good at it and that isn't as fun to watch unless you're purely doing pro strats like Beaglerush.

Totally disagree. Watching Austin obliterate some aliens and building up his troops only to have the rest of the crew screw everything up would have been great.

The Dan episode of Xcom was hilarious and stressful. Good stuff.

In addition to what everyone else said, and hating the best team in the league regardless of sport, there's this:

Patriots gave President Trump Super Bowl ring: The Patriots told WBZ-TV it’s because they were the first team invited to the White House by the Trump administration. Team owner Robert Kraft and Trump have been friends for years, and Kraft had promised to provide him with a Super Bowl ring for his future presidential library

I want so badly for The Good Life to be made; not only is it Swery but a mystery solving life sim game with time passing, etc. is perfect for me.

But the reward tiers suck and if they don't change them by the time it launches, that kills it, and I'm scared.
 
I am totally with Abby in her love for Katamari. They should really release an HD collection on PS4, I'd be all over that shit.

Speaking of, whatever happened to that Wattam game by the Katamari dude? That thing got announced like multiple E3s ago didn't it?

This Madden story seems to be incredibly good for a story in a god damn sports game.

Madden story > Mass Effect Andromeda story

?

Honestly, it was a good story in FIFA too. Will wait for FIFA in the EA Vault, but it should be fun to play through the career sequel.

BTW, if mystery solving life sims with time passing is your jam, check out black closet.

Ooh, I'd heard that was good. Though ideally for me I'd want something with you actually being in the world and interacting with characters, though.

But I'll keep it in mind regardless; if I'd been reminded it existed around when I finished P5 and would have been down for anything sim-ish I probably would have gone for it.

Honestly seeing the cards with character in the good life trailer immediately reminded me of black closet.

Who knows if that's the final presentation seeing that it's a 2019 game but that immediately peaked my interest.

Also black closet is all about interacting with characters. :p

Quick look with austin walker.

Damn I just checked and I'm not sure it has been mentioned in a single 2017 article.

Nice; I'm working from home today so I'll keep it on in the background and give it a look. Though as a FatT fan I love how in the first few minutes we've already got a reference to Janine and a Jack Steam notification cameo, hah.
 
I like the story modes they're adding to all their sports games. The Fifa one last year was pretty fun. I enjoy having soap opera storylines play out in between matches.

Same. It's just like how Fighting game stories go a long way for me as someone who isn't overly competitive/ doesn't have someone over to play against 24/7.

That swery game looks amazing. If you actually walk around and shit.

Looked at that visual novel and it's kinda interesting but maybe too anime? I kinda want to get into visual novels but they seem to all be Japanese.
 
"Fucking what?" was gold on that Murder Island stream.

How many Murder Islands streams have they done (how many games also) because it's the same group of people so you think you would learn to work together... I have played probably similar amount of time as these guys with random GB people on discord and I've personally gotten like 3 wins with them, and we're all pretty average at the game.

Nba 2K's "cinematic" story modes have sucked so maybe Live can beat them in that regard.

2k17s is a really fun buddy story, but they stretch it out too much. I should be able to only play and train and important times, not simulate an entire season.

One day I'll make it to all-star weekend... one day...

Never underestimate the depths of Giantbomb's incompetence.

You mean black closet? The creator is definitely inspired by japanese games but she herself isn't japanese.

Also that game is way more like an actual boardgame.

I was out of town and brought my PS4 (and bored) and I fired up NBA 2K16... man, I forgot how awful that storymode is. I loved the idea of it but holy shit.

If they are going to play "spicy" they have to play smarter.

If you land in school, you all should be as close to eachother as possible when you land. But they are scattered all over.

To win the school requires coordinated aggression. The guys with the guns protect the guys without the guns until everyone has guns. If you are off on your own, even if you down a guy, if he has 3 friends by him your chances are really really bad.


SideNote: I am surprised by how turned off of first person Jeff was. I didn't think id prefer it, but i really really do. Makes the game feel much more fair. While, yes, people still camp, they are more vulnerable to flanks which helps a ton

Holy crap at the fence incident on murder island.

Also wow, someone in the comments got real butthurt at abby not liking hellblade.

The really fucked up part about Dan's fuck up is that his playstyle was sort of working up until the end. He started panicking when he should have pulled back a little, gotten his guys into cover and waited the moving thinman out. The ones on the roof stay in Overwatch until they pop. Otherwise he was doing rather well.

Yeah they really need to do something to cut down on the tedium. I don't think I even finished one season in 2k17.

And also don't make the MyCareer player the same as the online player. I'm still mad that they start you off as literally the worst player in the NBA while the story talks about how great you are. And I miss being able to be good at everything.
 
The shooting in PUBG is such hot garbaaaaaaaaaaaage

i'm salty

best part about the hellblade comment on the site is how he hates millennials and his username ends in '87. Which, if that's his birthyear, makes him a millennial.

is that Long War mod for XCOM: EU worth playing?

IT's a very well designed mod with lots of great ideas.

But: It's really, really hard. You'll need to play very defensively. Battles go a lot longer because of the bigger squad (and enemy) size. The campaign in general goes on for longer too

If you are into that, it's great.

I haven't played the XCOM 2 long war but i'd imagine those battles to be a bit faster paced due to how some mechanics in 2 work. It's also easier to install mods in general due to the workshop support.
