Vinny prefers Binary Domain to Vanquish. Suck it, Platinum superfans

Are you referring to this?

Whoa, whoa...did Cronenberg take the reins on the last 50 seconds of Vanquish?! Cripes, I'll go with Binary Domain's more subtle approach.

Preferring how an ending is written is not the same as preferring the entire game.

 

[Data West]

Gameplay is king. Just saying.

Binary Domain's game plays just fine. Has more interesting environments too.

But whatevs, not the place for this.

 

[Jintor]

I'll buy BD on Steam when Christmas rolls around and I can compare.

 

[Riposte]

I think Vanquish is better than Binary Domain, but Binary Domain is more directly competing with Gears of War (which it beats, but not as much as Vanquish beats everything).

 

[Data West]

More importantly, apparently there was a MC Hammer game that never came out. I learned something today.

 

[Aaron]

On pure gameplay, I liked Binary Domain better, but mainly because it let me shoot with mouse/kb and not a clumsy controller.

 

[Lijik]

Is it on Youtube? It was magical.

Did some digging and it turns out Jeff uploaded it to Gamespot back in the day!

Post-patch the BD port is terrific.

Oh man, Vanquish and Binary Domain are my two favorite third-person shooters from this gen. THEY'RE BOTH SO GOOD.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I have idea what I missed.

Thanks, I missed the first half.

I put this link in JDownloader, and it gave me two files to download.

I guess that's everything.

The "originals" he has are clearly better quality than those. You can easily tell, even on the choppy stream he had going.

I really hope he puts them up somewhere!

vanquish and binary domain share very few things in common, and only then mostly superficially. it's pretty silly to compare them as gaming experiences.

the combat in both is pretty satisfying though.

they're both well made japanese shooters. there's a lot less of those around than you'd think.

Man that video sure helped them :/

 

[Antiwhippy]

Being japanese and being a shooter doesn't that the gameplay is similar. Unless you're saying we should create a JTPS genre.

I didn't say that? They are related in the sense that there are not a lot of those.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm just saying if those are the points of comparison than it is pretty shallow. Both games are pretty fundamentally different from each other. It's like me saying COD is shit because unreal tournament is better.

 

[Data West]

But I didn't even compare their quality...

 

[Antiwhippy]

Not really about quality, just saying that they're different games gameplay wise even though they are japanese shooters. I guess a more apt comparison would be saying COD and UT are the same because they're western shooters.

Where are you getting that he said they were similar gameplay experiences? They both share the trait of being Japanese made shooters that are far better than the norm.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I thought the argument was about trying to compare them as game experiences rather than just being japanese shooters? Was just kinda following the argument from john rabbit.

Patrick may be getting his hands on Eternal Darkness today. Hope he likes it.

hope he mentions one of its famous jump scares.

 

[Felix Lighter]

It would be awesome if Patrick was streaming these games he's been playing. I find it more interesting to hear the guys talk about a game they missed but went back to play than hearing them talk about the games of the moment. The difference in perspective is fascinating.

You have to keep in mind Drew went to Korea and Vinny had a baby. Premium videos take time..maybe next year.

 

[Megasoum]

Oh, Doom 2 confirmed on friday!

Edit:...unless it was a joke...not sure...

I Love Mondays - 06/18/12

"This week, walking tanks and imperial Pokemon rule the conversation."

 

[Riposte]

I'd go as far to say that at least half of the great TPS series are Japanese and the very best are Japanese. It has also come to the point where for western TPS series people complain whenever there is shooting.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Hmm, I Love Mondays not showing in any of my feeds. I think it's the second week it's done this.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

TNT sounds exciting.

Spoiler

Using that CBS money to build a Thunderdome?

THEY TALK IN LEGO ISLAND, BRAD!

 

[Backfoggen]

Cmon, GB. At least boot up Doom 2 for some more Breaking Brad.

Thanks, GB gods.

 

[Alfredo]

THEY TALK IN LEGO ISLAND, BRAD!

<3 Drew. Still hoping for Random PC Game: LEGO Island. Maybe Drew could guest on that!

 

[Megasoum]

Thanks, GB gods.

AH! I knew it that all the game journalists takes their ideas from GAF!!!

 

[LiK]

Paying money to see Brad suffer. This is why the internet exists!

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'll take a Breaking Brad.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Man I'm still surprised they haven't done anything with Sim Golf.

That's a random PC game in the making right there.

It'd accidentally lead to a 16 hour video. I'd probably watch every minute of it too.

Patrick doesn't know what LEGO Island is?

The hell man

that game was my childhood

 

[shadyspace]
