Despite an this splatoon 2 will probably still be my shooter of the year.

Yea that's not fun looking and just giving yourself a disadvantage for no reason

I'm curious to try it. I was in the camp of thinking 1PP petitioners were dumb but I kind of see their point. There are multiple times, particularly in city fights but also in sparsely wooded areas, where someone has a positional advantage on you that you simply cannot defeat. Be it sitting next to stairs with a shotgun, having two trees opposite each other with no cover in between or peeking over a wall - the third person perspective offers an incredible defensive advantage. Sometimes it's due to the player's tactical maneuvers, but sometimes its just completely random, and a new circle happens to land on his tree rather than mine. I have no other option but to run out into open ground and take a hugely disadvantageous fight.

In first person, they'd have to actively be peeking and looking at me to know where I'm moving, instead of having the tree as cover to happily pre-aim at where I'm running to and then simply popping out and gunning me down. I don't know if the camping issue will be solved, but at the very least it will force players to look through windows and above walls so that the people from the outside can at least see them, without the safety of cover.

Custom game made by the community bruh

I get that but still... This is honestly something I have a hard time wrapping my head around

The physics are wonky, the mechanics are ok, the shooting feels pretty good, the inventory is passable at best. What makes the game great is the concept and the tension and way the matches play out.

Why are people trying to shoehorn a billion things into that game now that it's popular? Can't we just leave the game alone for what it is? Play something else if you want something else... If you want a Car Racing Sim you don't play Overwatch and then ask Blizzard to shoehorn a racing mode in there right?

Studio Ghibli talk and no mention of Laputa and Kiki. Shame.

Kiki's is so good

That's only if you care about winning tho.

 

[Strax]

They also had first person in DayZ and nobody played that because it's stupid and bad. They're adding it because a vocal minority is being annoying but it'll be forgotten real fast, i'm not too worried

If a vocal minority can make a dev add features I'd be worried how the game is handled in the future.

I wholly agree. This is super problematic

 

[Wunder]

I guess? It's also just a frustrating experience in general. The great thing about pubg for me is that you can have fun just by winning a few encounters. But if that last encounter ends with me just having to run at a dude who can see exactly where I am the entire time behind the safety of cover then that aint so fun

You'd only have to count to three before "PUBG used to be so pure, and now it isn't anymore".

If anything, it extends the life of games, to put in the tools for custom games (which are already in)

Look at a game like CS:Source. It had things like prop hunt, gun game, surfing, and many others that bolstered the game's community.

It'll be nice to just have fun with a silly mode before jumping into the more serious main part of the game. Since the devs won't be putting any time into making the modes, it won't effect the main game's development.

Also in the case of Blizzard, just look at how MOBAs became a thing because they allowed custom games for Warcraft.

it's not about purity, it's more of : instead of having 1 great mode, you now have 3 terrible modes and 1 great mode

it hurts the brand

 

[Karspankey]

The game is literally made by a modder who only got to make PUBG because of the support of custom games in other IP's. I don't know what y'all expected.

But again, Warcraft had strong mechanics and so did CS:Source and people found concepts around those

this is the opposite, the mechanics aren't great but the concept is...

At this point I think many people have a very specific idea of what PUBG is and what it should be. I remember how much people here hated zombies.

One of the reasons why I find it hard to play OW for extended periods of time. There aren't any real modes where you can just jump in and fuck around for a bit. Every mode feels like it requires you to still play that same base game with a composition or you just end up getting steamrolled

Zombies is a terrible fucking idea too omg why are they doing this

Just go play any of the boring zombie games GOD DANGIT BOBBY WHYYYY

 

[wenis]

give me a PUBG custom mode with teams, rounds and loadouts and I'd be all over it

Bleh no. All that shit is garbage. PUBG is pure savagery without bullshit load outs and rounds. Ugh, stale ass CoD gameplay.

This is Metal Gear Solid all over again.

 

[imBask]

My point is just that people need to stop trying to shoehorn what THEY like into what's popular just because they wanna be part of the hype

 

[oti]

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing here btw. I haven't played it yet.

I'm just really curious how the fanbase would react. This game has such a strong identity (despite being a game turned out of other mods, weirdly enough) that everything that breaks with that identity will be criticised no matter what.

 

[slightconfuse]

Vinny should watch wolf children I feel like he would like it

 

[wenis]

Dan is right we need more controllers with air conditioners in them. I had one for the PS2 and it was amazing!

 

[LiK]

LMAO, listening to their reactions to being in Fire Pro Wrestling is great.

 

[Valtýr]

Do we know the specifics of what the zombie mode entails? Because I believe it;s not just PUBG with AI zombies. I assume it's like the current custom zombie mode (which is already in the game). Where there's one squad of players and the rest of the players can't pickup weapons and have increased melee damage and run speed.

Polygon did a stream recently playing that mode and seemed super cool and fun.

 

[Phatmac]

GOTY is going to be a mess this year. I'm just ready to be disappointed in the end.

Wouldn't that kill the battery?

 

[Rainmaker]

My two platinums are

Infamous: Second Son

and

Yooka-Laylee.

My two are Infamous: Second Son and Horizon Zero Dawn

 

[Incandenza]

Mine are The Witness and Shadow of Mordor

 

[Human Trashcan]

Oh come on now. I'm perfectly clear with what I'm saying. If you don't believe there's a difference there, fine. But it's not how it works.

It sure is an argumentation strategy to go "cuz I said so" every single time

 

[oti]

What do you guys think, is Ni No Kuni 2's delay to January going to help or harm its exposure as far as GB goes.

What would you want to win?

No fall is already so packed. If anything this will help it's exposure at GB.


Was Alex on todays Beastcast?

 

[Death Metalist]

What Dan should watch. My favorite Studio Ghibli film is Whisper of the Heart.

Abby doesn't know about the Zelda CDI games. So innocent.

Someone might actually play it now

Nobody is going to play it so it's the same either way.

 

[Ashby]

What was the last good Quick Look?

 

[Strax]

Mine are The Witness and Shadow of Mordor

I'm one away from platinum in Shadow of Mordor. It's Perform an Execution on a flaming Berserker. I've watched like 5 guides on it, recorded myself doing it and seen no differance in what I've done to what the guides have done but still no trophy. I've come to the conclusion it's broken for some reason.

What was the last good Quick Look?

Quick Look: Friday the 13th: The Game

 

[LiK]

What was the last good Quick Look?

Get Even

 

[Antiwhippy]

What was the last good Quick Look?

Passpartout is pretty fun.

 

[Blitzrules240]

What was the last good Quick Look?

Crash trilogy for lulz.

 

[oti]

That's my fear too.

Excuse this year: Fall is already so stacked, I don't have the time.
Excuse next year: After New Years I played more 2017 games and this is such a huge time commitment

Spoiler

and yesterday I played PUBG 5h straight

 

[Death Metalist]

What was the last good Quick Look?

Get Even, Crash & Passpartout are all great.

 

[wenis]

Wouldn't that kill the battery?

With the PS2 it was all by wire but I suppose now yea sure it would. Although they could also include an on and off switch for it so it's not always on.

 

[petethepanda]

Oh man, Sunshine should be a great fit for a series. Ultimate summer game.

 

[wenis]

What was the last good Quick Look?

Get even was great

 

[Ashby]

I'll check out Get Even. Thanks guys.

 

[Death Metalist]

Dan is slowly preparing for the truth

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Wait dans only played it for 15 minutes

 

[Hasney]

I finished Sunshine again last year and it was great.

I forgot Wimbledon.
