I thought that was from a resident evil game.

Isn't it though

RE monsters are more interesting, imo.

That's a real indictment on a silent hill game right there.

Remembered I already have too many games to play so I just went ahead and watched the rest of the Layers of Fear video. Sounds like the game is only a few hours long, so it's a bummer they played this much without continuing.
Vinny and Abby have a great dynamic for playing through these kinds of games!

About 2/3rds of the way through a recent playthrough of TNO I got frustrated and just turned it down to easy and felt exactly zero guilt about doing so. Playing Wolfenstein "well" was not enough of a reward for me to feel bad
Yeah, if your itinerary had a barcode or booking reference number on it you scan/punch that into a kiosk or give it to an agent at the airport and they'll give you your ticket iirc

...I feel like they're starting to lean a little too hard into that now, considering the game itself isn't likely to be "saying" much re: current events.
(Paranoid edit: To be extremely clear, I 100% agree with "There is only one side" and I'm on board with punching Nazis. Just want to make sure this isn't taken the wrong way, lol.)

yeah it comes across pretty hollow. think this is the most Bethesda has marketed a game that wasn't Elder Scrolls or Fallout.
still very excited for the game itself though.

I dunno, I can see it as hollow and pandering, but I guess in a way it's good that this kind of message can be used for marketing?

I bet the game has plenty to say about killing Nazis.

I mean, if you're going by the last Wolfenstein game trust me, the melees will get super gross.

Nothing quite says "Silent Hill" like this motley bunch:
This was the game that caused Vatra Games to shutdown.

I actually did like Silent Hill Downpour's side quests and still generally think the game is ok because of them. Those monster designs though....yeeash. If The Evil Within 2's side missions go in the direction of Downpour's, I might have to check that game out.

It's probably the most influential silent Hill game all things considered.
Basically their marketing team is giving people enough rope to hang themselves. People are hyped for the games on it's own terms and they are playing some actual (not me being sarcastic) 5d chess with their marketing.
Just consider that that clip has literally no specific connection to current events but your head still went there. It's actually brilliant.

I beat TNO on the hardest difficulty and didnt even die on the final boss. Mouse and keyboard skillz
And damn, those Downpor creatures are even worse than I remembered
Also, it did a questionable thing of depending on your actions the ending completely changed whether you were actually a murderer or not. There was no set character

I must say, if there's one thing that does annoy me about the beastcrew it's their old ass views on esports.
"Who wants to watch people play games" "Speed-runners have more of a community" "At least speedrunners acknowledge what they do is inherently ridiculous."

Which is funny considering what they Giantbomb does on a weekly basis.

Also that part was kinda insulting to speedrunners too.

They had a couple of speedrunners on the last Big Live Live Show Live and Alex was at one of the speedrunning events too. It's just weird.

TBF I think it was just mostly Vinny. Abby and Alex seems to at least have some respect for it.
I dunno, it's just a weird bit overall. Dunno why Vinny would bring up the E-sports news bit seeing that most of them don't seem to really care about it, and there are a lot of other e-sports news they don't bring up.

I love that Yakuza 0's cabaret club storyline has this weirdly wholesome underdog-soccer-team-prevails-through-the-power-of-friendship tone for a minigame about recruiting JAV idols to work in your sleazy hostess bar

No joke, completing cuphead probably made my fingers the most numb they've been in a long time. 
Managing charge shot is a pain in the ass when it comes to that.

i still want to play a mobile game just based off this because it seemed like the only gameplay part of yakuza zero that really spoke to me

didn't Alex literally go to a GDQ for a run

Thing is, I realised that I liked cuphead because it's mostly about bosses. Like I find the run and gun sections to be very forgettable.
For some reason I like sidescrolling when it comes to platformers but if you add an active combat system to it I tend to not love it? The last one of that type I liked before cuphead was like... metal slug 3.

Man i'm happy that GDQ became huge and now makes a ton of money for charity, but I do miss the smaller basement-like venues
Spent the past few hours farming for upgrade materials in the original Nier.
It was actually pretty nice to just play something mindless and listen to podcasts. Honestly this weekends pretty chill; I marathonned all of The Good Place too and that was some good TV.
and now Im gonna go finish 2 other video games so thatll also feel good

Yeah Odysseys probably gonna end up being that when Im digging through levels and have already heard the music and such.
Im happy I finished V3 faster than expected because playing so many VNs wasnt helping my podcast backlog, hah. Gonna start The Letter next week though cause Ill fiiiiinally finish the last bit of CxM tonight.
