I just found out Americans microwave water instead of using kettles and I'm going to have to cancel by Giant Bomb sub.

I think the majority of Americans use kettles.

 

[BannedEpisode]

When I worked at AMC in high school they actually had two distinct large cups/popcorn buckets. The regular one that you get when you buy it, and a specifically marked one that you get for your refill.

So if that were the case, it would be incredibly tacky but not a health hazard. I actually remember friends doing that because they gave you a new cup/bucket.

I don't know what they do now though since I usually don't get soda. Also that was just AMC.

 

[Death Metalist]

Yeah, I have to agree on the soundtrack. So many wild, catchy, fun tracks everywhere in that game.

Edit: Ya also missed the slow jam of the year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjZCIsPyRGc

The game's greatest strength besides the soundtrack is the universe and the characters that inhabit it. A wide variety of diverse and colorful characters which is the thing that makes me excited the most about the second game.

 

[Curufinwe]

Your first mistake was taking anything Colin Moriarty says seriously.

I'm going to print this post out and frame it.

Listening to the Beastcast right now and damn Zelda's GOTY chances are totally dead. Guess Mario will have it lock down.

Also wonder when they just stop doing VRodeos. They make VR look as boring as possible and nobody seems to enjoy doing them.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Margaret bit was grating at the beginning, but by the end I feel as if it paid off. I haven't ever laughed as hard at a podcast as I did when that Jeremiah bit came on though.

Dan was annoying me on the last beastcast and I was going to turn it off, but the Jeremiah bit was so good that I'm glad I stuck with it.

Abby seems naturally talented and has that improv background, so I thought her accents would be better. Unless she was trying to not actually sound Australian and English.

I enjoy them. It's fun seeing Jeff fuck around with VR. HOWEVER, the software is still where it's at when they made the first VRodeo save for a few unique experiences here and there. VR, like any other new tech, just needs time and alot of it.

 

[patapuf]

it'd be cool to be able to pickup chairs and tables in houses, just objects in the world, and use them as weapons. i wanna throw a lamp at some dudes head :V

Yeah, the melee system in general could use an update. Once they've implemented vaulting ect they should look to make melee a bit less janky/more interesting.

it was the voice modulator wasn't it?

Only Dan fell over heels for it. Everyone else enjoyed it but some were lukewarm. So yea, def not GOTY for them.

 

[Antiwhippy]

A really cool take would be to make only the "crappy" weapons (melee, pistols, crossbow, molotovs) available in the open world and make ARs and shotguns available only from crate drops.

Vehicles would be the best weapon in the game, in that case.

The current balance seems pretty good to me. I'm curious how zombie mode will work in a way that doesn't suck for either side.

Gotta be PUBG.

I'm starting to feel it won't even by my GotY, which seemed unthinkable when I first played it. My gripes with the story and dungeons are just too great to ignore.

 

[Telfo]

is the PUBG stream from yesterday worth watching or nah?

Motorcycles only. Spawn them generously.

Make it so you can shoot while riding.

Make it so that you melee while riding.

...

Guys I'm going to go make Antiwhippy's Joust. Please look forward to it.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

A thousand times yes.

 

[Curufinwe]

Oh OK, that would make sense.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Only if you want to get spicy.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Once they realised that they should go straight into the action instead of spending 30mins wandering aimlessly before getting killed without even getting into a single firefight, murder island got 100x better.

Who knew.

I got back in for the DLC stuff and I'm enjoying it again. It's a very relaxing game to get lost in. It's very addictive but I agree that some mechanics still annoy me. Still no armor to make it easy to climb during rain? Curious about DLC Pack 2.

I'm going to get back into it soon, and hopefully rekindle some of that initial magic.

I would be sooo happy if the "new dungeon" in DLC pack 2 was a traditional Zelda-ass dungeon. I wanted the new story to be a standalone thing, maybe even playing as a different character, but that seems to not be the case.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Isn't the 2nd DLC pack more like the finding memories thing?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

2nd DLC is The Champions' Ballad. It will feature a "new dungeon."

 

[Hindl]

Only Dan fell over heels for it. Everyone else enjoyed it but some were lukewarm. So yea, def not GOTY for them.

Vinny was also very high on it, when Mary said Hollow Knight was GOTY he countered with Zelda. But I dunno how much the ending soured him on it. Alex also loved it but his heart belongs to Nier. But I think PUBG will take it anyway

Isn't the 2nd DLC pack more like the finding memories thing?

Not exactly sure. All we know is it's after you defeat Ganon and you learn more about the champions. That sure sounds like more memory stuff but who knows

 

[imBask]

Buncha Nintendo h8ers in here

 

[AuthenticM]

Was he? I recall Brad saying "the conversation I am having about this game with others is shifting from 'this is one of the greatest Zelda games' to 'this is one of the greatest games I have ever played'" or something like that around the time the game was released.

Yeah but Brad fell off it. Maybe he'll go back for the DLC but, to quote Dan's Witcher argument, how much can you love it if you didn't finish it?

Yeah I think that's what gave me that impression.

 

[LiK]

Yea, Alex is in love with NieR:A. I still need to play that but haven't been in the mood.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Now that Giantbomb has move onto their spicy period I have changed my allegiance from Anti-murder island to Pro-murder island.

 

[Hindl]

I need to at least power through Nier Route A and see Route B. I just

Spoiler

fought a giant fish machine and then there was this big explosion and now 9S is missing.

I feel like there's a lot left, but the way people talk about the length I think I'm almost done

 

[Karspankey]

Same here!

 

[Jintor]

i wouldn't be super cut up if pubg smoked zelda at the end of the day

i mean zelda is pretty damn good but they are having hella fun with pubg

and at the end of the day it's their goty

 

[AuthenticM]

I also wasn't. Then I watched a video summary/analysis of the original Nier game while having dinner and it injected me with excitement at the thought of playing Automata. I made a thread about it. I encourage you to watch the video.

 

[DanLongman]

Can we have a moratorium on GOTY stuff till Dec/Jan please.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Same here!

I fucking died at "Got'im!... Aaaaaaagh!"

I still need to play the original NieR. I only played it partway on 360 years ago. Decided to pick up a sealed copy on PS3 earlier this year but fell off wanting to play it atm. I played through so many big games this year that I'm a bit burnt out. Been playing smaller indie games lately and lots of Overwatch.

Gonna pass on watching the video.

 

[adamsapple]

Watching Charlie Murder. Jeff gatting Dan and taking his stuff was great.

Go play some Mount and Blade.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I actually used to play a lot of mount & blade lol.

Looking at my steam stats I put around 49 hours into warband?

 

[Hindl]

If it isn't this it's everyone shitting on West, UPF, Ben, and other things

 

[BannedEpisode]

Ben is great.

 

[Tagyhag]

Man, Dan is soooooo bad with shotguns lol.

 

[Salarians]

we need the Bens

 

[Curufinwe]

I'm only 5 hours into Horizon and FF12 is already here.

I really need a month off work.

 

[DanLongman]

You're right this thread is pretty horrible.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yakuza Kiwami, of course, goes into way more detail about what happens between 1995 and 2005 that turns Nishikiyama into a jerk, but what I think has had people really excited since we presented the game at E3 has been the Majima Everywhere system, where everybody’s favorite maniac can spring up on you from any place, at any time.

A new GOTY challenger appears.

 

[Basileus777]

A new GOTY challenger appears.

Yeah, but Majima post 0 is pretty much a completely different character.

 

[AuthenticM]

I'm extremely excited to play Kiwami in August.
