Giant Bomb |OT32| I've been meaning to love a boat

Against my better judgement I watched the trailer; that sure was racist and vaguely homophobic while insulting someone's late mother for absolutely no clear reason. It's not like I expected anything good from South Park but they didn't even try to comment on anything about Kanye, it was just... fart noises and flappy bird references while mocking the fact that he made a game about his mom? What the fuck?

...also I guess the game never actually came out but I thought it was only ever talked about at least over a year ago. What a topical thing that totally merited going after.

This might be the wrong place to ask but...
Is this new Sonic game, like, super ironic or something? I just watched the trailer and I cannot believe how serious the game seems to think it is.

Mario the Fascist may be the best, but aside from that, I loved the time Ryan opened the podcast with a dice-based conversation game a listener sent in. I'd find the clip but I'm on mobile.

Why does everybody always forget the pornstar he dated? 😅

Like I said, that list could go on for a while. There are countless Dan stories worth bringing up again. Sometime I just turn on youtube in the background and listen to a bunch of them. His story about interviewing Kojima is pretty great, especially considering that he went to Japan on GI's dime to drink a ton and do fuck all.

just like sonic and crash were never good or popular right


alpha protocol and dungeon siege were trash

Being sarcastic about how people think Sonic and Crash were never good while simultaneously calling Alpha Protocol trash is too much for me to handle right now.

Being stuck in south park for an rpg-length's worth of time sounds like hell on earth

Stick of Truth was alright for the 10 hours it lasted. I enjoyed the Paper Mario combat system and liked the dumb story (a few scenario jokes were pretty clever), though I was a fan of the show at the time. Now that my opinion on the show has soured, the advertisements for this game have felt grating. Tactical combat instantly turned me off of it. I much prefer the JRPG-like style.

I think I'm resigned to the fact that I liked the first 30 hours of animal crossing that I've played and never want to touch the series ever again.

I liked the time Ryan felt it necessary to address rumors that he hated Brad and provided the fact that he and Brad went on vacation together one time as evidence that he did not hate Brad.

Oh, so going on vacation is what Brad does all day

I had really great times with the original, Wild World, and New Leaf but the latter two were definitely due to playing a ton online with friends (a little less so with New Leaf but it also came out in June after I graduated high school so I spent a ton of time with it that summer).

So as long as a Switch version keeps things interesting I'd be down but I wouldn't have as much free time to meander in it anymore due to, uh, being an adult now. Still wondering what that phone game's gonna be too.

Eh Obsidian has made plenty of mediocre games, especially in recent years. They haven't really hit anything out of the park since New Vegas and nothing they've done since MOTB has come close to its quality. 2004-2010 Obsidian kind of doesn't exist anymore either, they've lost a lot of talent.

You're right, always isn't the best word, but I think they've been doing great. And hey, Tyranny and Pillars were good stuff!

alpha protocol and dungeon siege were trash

I'll give you Dungeon Siege but AP is a flawed gem!

The characters were great and your interactions with them are still not topped today. It's the only game where all choices in the dialogue mattered because characters would actually remember what you said and react to it, even much later on. It even takes into account how you dress.

I'm not gonna act like the game is a hidden masterpiece, the combat is trash everybody knows that. Flawed, yes. Massively so. But at least in an interesting and unique way. It's still a much more interesting RPG than anything Bioware managed to put out since the first Mass Effect.
 
South Park gets worse when they try to do more. I liked the first couple of seasons and Stick of Truth because they were kinda basic and amateurish.
In their minds they are probably thinking they are taking this to the Next Level but I just think "nah".

Fuuuuck I'd love to see like Vinny, Brad, Rorie and Alex run a co-op campaign through Divinity: OS2, even on explorer mode.

That'd be a lot of fun.

Don't dare to dream, you will only be sad when you inevitably wake up.*sigh*

It should be Dan and Vinny if only so they can call it DanVinnyty

Huh, PUBG is in the eSports section of TGS.

Wonder if they've perfected their weenie healing outside the circle strats yet.

Hey, that is actually a really good game.

You can turn into a fucking dragon.

Wasn't the Xbox version completely different from the PC version?

sorry. i was looking for bad games only.



I thought it was Abby who hates game stories.

Abby hates all stories. Dan only hates good stories, that's why he likes Wrestling and Kojima.
Pretty sure that's canon
