Not in Europe.. :/
*sees 2-star review of Driveclub*
Wow Jeff, you're completely wrong. How could you do that. Gah!
*reads review*
...I uh, can't say I disagree with any of that.
I want to build up a defense of Driveclub but I honestly don't know where I'd start. I'm a few hours in and I don't even know if I'm enjoying it yet.
Gorgeous game though.

You listened to the podcast yet? He explains in details his opinion on the game. He raise many great points.
Still working my way through the last one, but yeah I find myself agreeing with most of what he's said so far. Which is painful since I already bought the season pass, hah. But I don't mind supporting Evolution if it means we'll get another Motorstorm.

Is there a difficulty setting? I could have sworn that people said there was, but Jeff said there wasnt and I watched a video of someone going through the menus looking for a difficulty setting and not finding anything but changing transmission from manual or automatic.
YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH
If there is, it's definitely not readily apparent. Didn't see one in the main menus. Then again a lot of stuff is locked out due to the servers not working.

Watching the Alien QL, Dan would be a perfect sidekick for a Breaking Brad. So much frustration and schadenfreude.

Yup, I agree with a lot of his points. It's not *terrible*, but I constantly am asking myself why i'm not playing Horizon 2 instead while i'm playing it.
We're still in the launch window*.

Note: Launch window is now defined as the time from the release of a console until the release of a successor console. Please adjust expectations accordingly.
Okay, P4AU quick look is worth it alone for Jeff and Jason attempting to sing-along with Rise.
Edit:
Edit:
The fact that you can barely hear the music they're singing to makes it even better.
I might edit a version of them singing where you can hear the music.
Yep, that was incredible.

I agree with greg on bombcast about Vib Ribbon. Those Sony guys should have more fun.

Well put, unfortunately.
WITH A PREFACE STATING I HAVE NOT YET LISTENED TO IT YET
New Dumptruck up with Joe Fielder of the new Black Glove Kickstarter
I thought they didn't talk about Kickstarters until they were funded. Wasn't there a shit storm when Alex posted a story about the Harmonix kickstarter?

That's because Alex used to work for Harmonix, not necessarily because it was a kickstarter project.
Yeah, it was because they only posted about Kickstarter projects that their friends were doing that it was really gross. They had a policy to not post stories about them unless they personally knew the person running it. If they were doing other Kickstarter stories at the time it wouldn't have looked bad.

In fact, I bet Evolution gets massive layoffs between now and next year.
Patrick already links to 3 or 4 kickstarters in Worth Reading every week.

There's DLC that is just the first game's story mode, but the gist of it is: Miiiiight be Nyarlathotep? Find out next time!!
For ARC, P4A is entry-level. It gets much, much worse...
I have never felt dumber than that one time I tried to learn to play a BlazBlue game.
I think Jeff said that they were going to loosen up and cover things that are unqiue and interesting.
Yep. Said they were too sceptical in the beginning and that they would make new guidelines after the Harmonix thing, which Jeff admitted was poorly handled.

Having only played an hour or so, Jeff lists many of the same issues I had;
only one factory color, going off into the gravel fires up a bizzare 3 second timer countdown, ambigious corner cutting (is it because more than two wheels went off into the grass?), and the AI bumping me and I get penalized. Add the fact that I get booted from a single player time trial race because the leaderboard servers were not functioning.
I haven't been able to get on the DriveClub servers so I played Madden and Destiny instead.
That said, want to be in a DriveClub Club chubigans? Its the only PS4 racing game I have....

I hope Dan can get at least 1 Nintendo game on the GoTY list.

The Harmonix kickstarter was weird, because in the context we have now of their cancellations and people they've let go and the kickstarter barely getting over the goal, it does seem like they were probably incredibly desperate for that thing to work and must have panicked when it didn't explode out of the gate.
I can easily see being friends with Harmonix and going "Yeah, we should give them more exposure to help."
Which, in itself, also makes it a little less okay.

They just needed a better Policy.
Only posting a full story for Harmonix and Double Fine kickstarters but everything else being stuck in the footnotes of Patricks Worth Reading weekly articles is a bit shitty.
Maybe someone could just do a dedicated weekly "look at these kickstarters" round up article that puts everything they saw that looked interesting into.

Far Cry 4 isn't out yet. If any unrelased game has a chance at Giant Bomb's GOTY 2014 it's probably that game. I'm curious to see what the consensus is on Dragon Age as well.
Well, the Kickstarter just barely getting over the goal isnt something they knew at the time since that article was written at the start of the Kickstarter. Also, I doubt it was anything more than Alex being a huge fan of that franchise and not thinking about how it looks. Him being friends with them could have pushed it over the edge, but the original is one of his all time favourite games, so it's not like it was just some random game that no one else covered.
Haven't they developed a new policy about reporting on KS due to all that fallout?

The part where John Drake came on to a livestream to beg people to back it wasn't great, either.
Didn't seem like a lot of people had much of a problem with that. He didn't shill a lot for the Kickstarter, and as long as they're transparent about that stuff I don't see how it's a big problem. They've had friends of the site on various content as long as the site has existed that has also served partly as a promotion of what they've recently released and stuff. As long as it makes for good content and it's all out in the open, it's all good.
I know you cannot accept any criticism of any of the GBers without defending them, but John Drake did beg people to support the product on a UPF as I recall.
That's false equivalency. For example having Greg on the podcast to discuss his game during/after it was released is totally different from trying to beg support for a kickstarted game.
