Odysseus, I just realized how perfect your tag and avi go together right now.

Of course

It was intentional

Alex wanting a nemesis system in Yakuza makes me feel like he completely misses the point of the series.

Yakuza that is a procedurally generated game would not be the same game. You come to Yakuza because of the crafted melodramatic fun bullshit and crafted dumb sidestories.

Kuze is the ultimate nemesis

 

[The Dear Leader]

I don't know, having a nemesis system would be kind of cool, I wouldn't want it to be the main focus of the combat or story but it could make fighting street goons a little less repetitive.

 

[robotrock]

The nemesis system is not actually interesting

STORMY ASCENT WAS A BAD DECISION

I WAS WRONG

 

[Death Metalist]

Page 234 should be burned in a trashfire. Anyways, I fucked around with Fortnight for 4 hours. I enjoyed and had fun with it especially playing with my cousin. I was shocked at how many systems it has and can't help but feel that it sort of over complicates things in a bad way yet at the same time I feel that it's a good thing as well because it makes me want to keep playing so I could see how far this actually goes.

Like look at this shit

They got separate XPs for everything. Upgrading guns, your base, your character, survivors, defenders.etc shit's too much. They even got a real time based XP in the form of research points(can only be used on the research skill tree) and of course your old ass regular skill points for going through your skill tree. I don't know about you guys but my last knowledge of this game was in 2013 or some shit and that's about it so, I was surprised and horrified. I don't mind streaming it for you guys if anyone wants to see right now how it flows and all that as I too was wondering how the game was like.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Totally, but kuze is great because they actually made a specific story for him.

I don't get their fascination with the nemesis system in general.

are you from the future?

I really dont want to play the more bullshit version of the most bullshity level in the game.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

now that we got your disapproval we can finally move onto page 235

 

[Lari]

You won't believe page 240 tho.

 

[Joeku]

GB West? More like GB Westworld because lately, their content has been feeling pretty robotic #slamdunk ��

It doesn't look like anything to me.

Also, Jesus Christ, if Abby is 23 she was 14 when Giant Bomb started. Feel old, y'all.

 

[SilentMike03]

I mean I'm probably the only person in here who actually consumes waypoint content instead of memeing about it.

That binary domaincast.

Is a hell of a cast.

Also I'm pretty sure I've said at some point waypoint pubg content >> murder island.

I'll browse through Waypoint on occasion, but I really dislike their site design. I agree with the PUBG assessment. Part of my enjoyment seems to be that Austin and Patrick seem to be approaching it from a spirit of good faith, where they are actually trying to improve at the game. Murder Island just seems like a lot of the guys are fucking around (especially Dan) and that can only be amusing for so long.

 

[Death Metalist]

that page is alright. Gonna play Get Even later, looking forward to finishing it.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Yeah I'm gonna come back to it later but wow, that level is not kind and I only made probably a quarter of the way through (I'm guessing).

Fortunately we close the thread at 200

Blood on the Sands

Fuck me, I missed that. One and done.

 

[Death Metalist]

Fortunately we close the thread at 200

You're a braver man than me. Leave me at 50 posts a page.

 

[MassiveNights]

I do too I just try not to bring up waypoint here because it always brings some people out of the woodwork just to be insufferable and let everyone know they're too cool for school

Sounds like the Waypoint twitter account

I find the site layout easy to read but I've heard similar complaints.

 

[Joeku]

You play Get Even yet, DM?

Edit: Went to averagebomb.com to see if anything about the layout flew out at me, and lmao at the top story still being by Mike Diver, who got let go days ago.

 

[Death Metalist]

You play Get Even yet, DM?

Going to play it soon, going through a few games of Fortnite(for anyone that wants to watch) before doing so. Really looking forward to it.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

that's not what I meant by that

 

[Human Trashcan]

thank you for proving my point

 

[Piston Hyundai]

if we want to talk about Waypoint, we can talk about how they laid off the one person that's been doing the only feature of theirs that I care about and how that sucks

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Laid off or left? Important distinction here.

huh? who? what?

What was it? I dropped off waypoint right after their massive stream thing at the start.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Mike Diver was part of the layoffs Vice did recently, and he's been the only one doing Guide to Games videos lately

 

[daveo42]

Oh shit they let Mike go? Hopefully he finds a new place.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Mike Diver was part of the layoffs Vice did recently, and he's been the only one doing Guide to Games videos lately

based on the shirt he's wearing in all of them, i'm assuming they gang-shot a bunch of these the last time he was at the new york office. it'll probably continue without him

but yeah, that sucks for him, especially since he was the only one there doing games stuff at vice for years

vice fucking sucks as a company and i hope they don't end up burning austin in the end

So just got back from a wonderful vacation in Montréal. What did I miss??

The "fun" starts on page 234.

 

[OdysseusVA]

They should play more Nidhogg but not the twitch version

 

[- J - D -]

Nidhogg 2 looks weird.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Welcome back Dan.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[Antiwhippy]

There's a twitch version?

 

[Incandenza]

The nemesis system is not actually interesting

But what about how at the end of the game it reveals your ultimate nemesis and it's some rando you don't even remember because the game is hella easy and none of the warchiefs actually put up enough of a fight to be memorable

What about that huh

 

[Blitzrules240]

I think I'm gonna skip Shadow of Wardor...

 

[robotrock]

I think I'm gonna skip Shadow of Wardor...

You won't

 

[- J - D -]

You would skip GB's 2017 Game of the year?

 

[OdysseusVA]

There's a twitch version?

Nidhogg 2

Oh god. WTF. Ben kicks ass.

Welcome back Dan.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Thanks blitz and yeah looks like gbGAF never changes.

 

[Karspankey]

Dan has a gigabit internet connection now. He said that he pays only $65 a month for it. Meanwhile, I'm paying more than that for 10mbps down, 750kbps up ((((

I'm actually really enjoying it. It's a gacha game that has some really fun mechanics and despite the 8 billion systems I've had no issues with progression yet. It's kind of everything that I want for a podcast game.
