I watched top players play it with great communication and it did the opposite for me. Still haven't decided if I'm gonna get the game yet though when it comes out on PC.

I love the idea of hearing this chatter with zero context. Shredding bathers, dog bottom, it's all perfect nonsense.

The wipe mechanics aren't too harsh when you have it down and the next section is the only thing with a hard time limit (I think?) Ammo isn't too much of a concern, elite's will always drop a heavy if you're in range, you shouldn't have to spend more than a heavy to kill an elite. The limited revive system is BS, but I think in a lot of cases it's down to the sections being impossible if people keep dying.
And here I am playing on a tiny screen with a small PS4 remote play window.

Props to them doing this thing for 8 hours, that's some dedication.

We, as they, must see this through on Friday.
That seems less than ideal.

Can we say that they're bad at games now.
I mean, as frustrating as this all looks... it's not a bad way to spend a workday.
now???

I'd say this raid is terrible. It's poorly designed all around. I'm never going to do this shit.

The secret is to sit really close to the screen and remote play's pretty responsive if everything's wired to the same router.
I think it's really good *shrugs*

They told us that we're not allowed to at the start.

The best thing about all of this is that Vinny got to play probably 5 or so hours of Divinity 2, he won.
game's fine, raid's good, games are good.
Yah, I really like this raid. I've liked all the raids they've made and it's good that not of them feel the same.
Cleared a room, so 25% complete.

So anybody want to start a fresh raid group? Have a light level of higher than 290 and you must be better than a Giant Bomb employee.

That was a ride, time to sleep. These 8 or so hours went by quick, it did get a bit stale towards the end though.

Just wait for somebody to put a cut together of their successful runs and the lunch time intermission.
Ugh I'm sitting at 279 and have two more milestones to do this week...I want to do it so bad, but I can only set aside like 3 hours at one time over a few days. I need to find a raid group that can do it one section at a time over a week.

Hats off to them for sticking with it. Look forward to their inevitable victory!
Speaking from experience, I had a good time with this raid optimizing strategies with 5 other clear-headed players and finishing some of the encounters by the skin of our teeth.
Also my warlock looks cool af with the raid gear so

That raid is 100% down to knowing the mechanics and what you need to do. Once you know that, it's actually pretty easy to execute. It's nowhere near as hard as streams like this make it seem. The problem is that the "guide" in this scenario (Brad) only knows about half of the details of each encounter.
I had it on the entire time at work but had to miss little chunks here and there

Isn't figuring out the raid part of the design.
Yep. Was playing Destiny while watching most of the time. It actually flew by lol.
Had the stream on the whole time, did some other things when I felt bored but I watched the whole thing basically.
Even through this frustration, something in me pushes me to want to do it, just once. Maybe I'll see if there's anybody in the OT that is down to have a group and just do it a bit at once.

Usually the GAF community's pretty active, also you can use online group finders to get into teams. It's luck of the draw, but I've never been with a group who isn't welcoming to first timers.
