i'm 27 and my pet peeve is when people get mad because I didn't play X or Y game on the SNES

I'm sorry I wasn't picking games to buy when I was 3-6 years old

You don't have be to 3-6 years old to play link to the past or Super Mario World. What people are mad about is that they never played them later on in life. It's a silly thing to get mad about, but if you are 27 and have never played them yet, do it now. They still hold up very well. It's like when some one says "I've never seen Star Wars"... that in itself is ok, but the fact that it's now a pop culter phenomenon and has been crazy popluar with tons of re releases and stuff for decades... it's almost like you are going out of your way not to watch it.

chill

It is a good video game

e: I do have to say though that this is just more Splatoon as a guy who played Splatoon 1(well there are changes just not that big!). This isn't necessarily a bad thing though.

I know what you mean but... there are too many things in life to see everything that is "pop culture" or "iconic". I've probably seen/played iconinc things that you haven't seen/played, and vice versa. That's just life...

ESPECIALLY if you're from another country/culture (like I am), which has it's own subset of "iconic" movies and music and blablabla, taking even more time away from what YOU consider iconic

I haven't played it in like 2 days but I enjoyed what I've played of it. There are some bugs here and there though and the game takes a while to get used to with the amount of stuff you have to keep your mind on.

Best of the best. Both also look timeless thanks to that NINTENDO ART.

Anybody here have any thoughts on The Surge? Was kind of into it before release but never got it due to middling reviews. Never been much into souls-like (can't believe I just said that phrase) types of games but I liked the setting and the combat looked interesting at least. Just looking for something to play to tide me over until Wolfie.

Fixed it!

Hahaha, perfect!

I really liked it, I played about 10 hours or so and got distracted with some other games, I plan on coming back to it eventually, but what I played I enjoyed, I'm not sure I would recommend it at full price but if you can get a decent deal on it I would definitely recommend it. I found it to be overall easier than Souls games but had some difficulty spikes in spots that were kind of frustrating, nothing I couldn't eventually get past.

I think it's pretty fantastic on it's own but I also think it's a pretty great such kind of game.
Just be sure to be resistent to a bit of frustration.

Ah nice. I'm glad to here. I looked at it during the steam sale but decided against it. I just realized there is a demo out for it on steam so I'm going to check that out now.

Also, I'm going to add some of y'all that are in the gbgaf steam group. I plan to be playing the majority of my games on PC going forward and literally have 3 steam friend currently. 😅

My first system was a Sega Genesis, and, let me tell you, anyone who believes the Genesis is better than the SNES is completely wrong.

This sounds like an opinion that Jeff would share and nobody would challenge him on.

Netcode, matchmaking, and all that is incredibly hard to do. Not sure what people were expecting from a tiny team honestly.

how much money will jeff spend on the pubg costumes

 

[Dangansona]

I'm about to turn 23. My first consoles were N64 and Gameboy Color. I played colorful kids games and Myst on the PC earlier than that.

Overall I have no interest in games that come before that era. Mario platformers are the exception. Didn't enjoy FFIV much.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Jeff seems like the sort of person who would stan hard for the Genesis, citing Altered Beast and how many screens Kid Chameleon has.

 

[Kimaka]

The first console I got into was the PS1 then the Gameboy Color. We had a NES and a Genesis before the PS1, but since I was like three and barely played them I don't really count them as my first consoles.

Never played a Mario game more than a few hours and I don't plan to since I'm not into platformers. The only Zelda game I've played was Wind Waker, but I didn't finish that.

I actively dislike Dark Souls and I was really enjoying The Surge until I got to the first boss, then it got too punishing for me.

There are like three people in existence who got something good out of the Genesis chip.

This rumor will now spread to the point where Brad will address it on the podcast, saying that he even went on vacation with Ben one time.

The first boss was a poor decision on the dev's part, because it's a gimmick boss. You're not supposed to fight it straight up. They should've made it like the third boss or something.

Jeff is wrong about some things but he's most wrong about DKC. It is awesome.

eeeh I understand him, Subway has a very distinctive patented Subway Taste™ that lingers for hours

Somehow I missed the entire "at subway" part and thought they were talking about any sandwich they made themselves

Wait really? I beat my head against that thing so many times that I was convinced I must be doing something wrong. I guess I was right...

 

[DanLongman]

I can understand people not liking DKC but man I love those games.

there's not many platformers better than Donkey Kong Country 2

 

[daveo42]

I find that no matter the combination of ingredients I choose at subway the sandwiches always taste pretty much the same.

Yeah, no matter what, everything tastes bland. Getting that cheese-crusted bread and adding in some spicy options helps, but even then every sub tastes like all the other ones. I haven't had Subway in at least a year and I'd rather just go to Penn Station if I'm hungry for a sub.
