I don't understand bullet hell shooters.

And Dave Lang is quite a character. (top of page special addition)


Edit: Oh I see. This weird bullet hell game uses the same main mechanic as Beat Hazard.

To be honest, I only enjoyed BH because I could use my own music...

Quick reminder of DK visuals:

They played Divekick on the last UPF so I remember it pretty clearly. It at least had actual animation.

Jeff and Dan will be on the Bayonetta segment.

 

[Xater]

Yeah it seems the game misses some more feedback. Also personally I feel like the music is too mellow for this kind of game.

 

[Zaph]

So...will Harmonix be around in 12 months?

 

[shwimpy]

So...will Harmonix be around in 12 months?

Amplitude might be their last hurrah.

 

[Dany]

depends how dance central is doing

 

[Kerned]

So...will Harmonix be around in 12 months?

They really need a hit.

 

[Aaron]

So...will Harmonix be around in 12 months?

Their Disney game looks real good, and considering every Xbox One is required to have kinect... oh wait.

 

[valeo]

Do you guys think Patrick invites this bad press? Like, would GB be getting this criticism if it was all dudes bro'ing out all the time and there wasn't this facet of social consciousness that Patrick brings to it? I feel like people want to catch him in a "gotcha" situation or something. It's a shitty catch-22.

Better that than burying their heads in the sand.

 

[LurkerPrime]

They really need a hit.

Chroma will return and usher in a new era of Harmonix.

Believe!


Edit: Argh, the Lobby has ads longer than the Bombcast's... I... cannot... take ittttt!
Edit2: Now I'm getting flashbacks to Professional Wednesdays - I'm out.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Was hoping Jeff and Dan were next segment, but next is Borderlands. I need my Giant Bomb fix

Edit: I have to listen to Watters in order to get Giant Bomb content? What is this, Saw?

 

[Zaph]

It feels like they've been kept alive this long thanks to MS's Kinect slush fund.

 

[SlowRevolution]

oh right this game exists

 

[daydream]

I actually look forward to playing the Pre-Sequel.

Well, once I finish 1's DLC and the entirety of 2.

I feel like Fantasia has been even quieter than D4 pre-release.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'd almost believe this if the camera didn't flip out while navigating the smaller rooms or become completely useless while traversing ladders. As it stands in reality, TEW's aspect ratio is a poor attempt to improve performance in a janky game utilising a terrible engine.

Limiting your view while navigating ladders is entirely intentional(the game's camera is dynamic, it would zoom out if it wanted), and I'm up to chapter 8 and there was only one room where the camera bugged out while crouching. It's not really a janky game either, but combat that actually requires thought is rare these days

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Yeah, Fantastia has been thrown to the wolves

God I hope Harmonix doesn't go away.

 

[Dany]

It feels like they've been kept alive this long thanks to MS's Kinect slush fund.

but considering that kinect is no longer packed in :x

 

[daydream]

Speaking of stealth releases, I hope we get a Legend of Grimrock 2 QL by Beast.

Handsome Jack made me mute voices in Borderlands 2. Couldn't stand him.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Handsome Jack made me mute voices in Borderlands 2. Couldn't stand him.

If I were to play chances are it would be him or Claptrap that made me mute the voices.

 

[Incandenza]

"Borderlands"

"hilarious"

Ehhhhhhhhh

 

[Aaron]

If I were to play chances are it would be him or Claptrap that made me mute the voices.

Claptrap does talk way too much in BL2. So him getting muted too was a bonus.

 

[Zaph]

but considering that kinect is no longer packed in :x

Yup. That gravy train is over. I highly doubt MS will commission a Kinect ever again - just gonna ride out existing contracts.

 

[YuriLowell]

Handsome jack made me uninstall borderlands 2.

 

[Haunted]

OH MY GOD someone is streaming duck dynasty.

Spoiler

WTF

http://www.twitch.tv/tommyrose2000

You be a box.

It is open world.

Duck Dynasty is Frog Fractions 2.

 

[SlowRevolution]

danny is slowly turning into jeff

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Wow Duck dynasty might be the best shovelware game i have seen.

 

[The Dear Leader]

That Harmonix game doesn't look great, I wish they would just make one ultimate Rock Band for this generation and put it on PC finally, I would be so happy.

 

[mattiewheels]

Hey, besides quick looks and premium stuff is there anything recent to watch from GBEast?

 

[TharpDaddy]

Didn't notice if this was linked, Lang-F1 http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/alt-f1-10-13-2014-enter-the-drs-lang-zone/1600-1033/

 

[Xater]

That is probably the first time I have ever heard someone call Handsome Jack a good character.

 

[Curufinwe]

"Borderlands"

"hilarious"

Ehhhhhhhhh

Who put is/was between the quoted words?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Is Fantasia even releasing this year? I've been under the impression it's been a long ways off for....ever.

I also had no idea that bullet hell shooter was A) made by Harmonix, B) releasing soon, C) in existence

Limiting your view while navigating ladders is entirely intentional(the game's camera is dynamic, it would zoom out if it wanted), and I'm up to chapter 8 and there was only one room where the camera bugged out while crouching. It's not really a janky game either, but combat that actually requires thought is rare these days

I haven't played TEW so I'll take your word for it. But I refuse to believe that ladder bit is intentional - it reeks of bad design, something that Mikami (driving force behind RE4) should be incapable of. The ladder-cam on the Quick Look completely failed at its job, and may as well have been disabled entirely for how helpful it was when they actually needed to see what they were climbing down to.

[mnz]

Isn't this whole game based around him? Someone must really like him.

 

[LurkerPrime]

First-person dog view. In colour!

I take it this is Duck Dynasty?

 

[Aaron]

The devs do. But they also thought Aliens: Colonial Marines had a good story.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Damn, who's streaming Advanced Warfare so soon?

 

[YuriLowell]

Its the first time ive ever heard anyone call borderlands "funny"

 

[Incandenza]

Who put is/was between the quoted words?

Mary.

I don't wanna throw too much shade on people for what they find funny, but I don't know how you get all the way through Borderlands 2 and not just want everyone to shut the fuck up.

 

[SlowRevolution]

lee's face is looking a little off in that painting

 

[TharpDaddy]

If anyone was waiting for Jeff and Dan, they're going to be on the show right after this trailer.

 

[Zaph]

Jeff and Dan on in 2 min

 

[Xater]

Hey look Evil Within looks dope when it's not letterboxed.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Jeff and Dan on in 2 min

I'm ready...

That's such false advertising.

I take it this is Duck Dynasty?

The "dogs see in black and white" thing is a myth. They are usually severely color blind though. Jeff is a dog, is basically what I am saying.

 

[Fried Food]

bayonnetta 2 spoilers, bail out

 

[NIN90]

I watched like 10 seconds of that Bayonetta 2 footage and I already wish I hadn't.
