So the person answering just has to guess?

Haha, he did wrongly worded his thoughts.

 

[Qblivion]

Play 3 and Peacewalker. They are not direct sequels and deals more with Big Boss. The conspiracy stuff is a little more grounded.

NO.

Never play these games out of order jesus fucking christ.

 

[Myggen]

You're pulling a Microsoft there, Jimbo. Can't skip 2!

Oh yes you can, DMC2 is so fucking bad that it wouldn't even be fun to watch Brad play it. It's just an awful game.

 

[sixghost]

Bombcast is up

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I think Random PC game is pretty much dead unless Beast decides to resurrect it. One-offs like CD-i are always great but, well, they happen maybe once a month (for all intents and purposes, Mario Party Party falls under this category). They need something to fill the weekly Premium quota, and I'm longing for a new Breaking Brad.

But dmc2 is a bad game (._. )

 

[daydream]

Well, if he wants to skip it, fine. I reckon he hasn't played it, though, so he might want to experience it for himself.

Brad is thorough!

Yeah, seriously. Fans of the series should know that by now. Especially diehard fans such as those on Gaf.

.....I spent alot of hours in DMC2 ._. I enjoyed it. The bloody palace in that one was fantastic.

It's so bad! I remember being so hyped for that game when it came out because I loved the first one, it's probably my most disappointing game ever along with the new Sim City.

grr. i hate how the /chat page refreshes after a live show ends.

[Freedom = $1.05]

You can literally finish all of DMC2 by sitting back and shooting your pistols. The game isn't bad because it's not a good dmc game, it's bad because it's a bad action game period.

Sounds like Jeff and Brad might love it.

 

[hamchan]

Now I'm again stuck with the Persona 4 Dilemma. I want to check out MGS2-4 but I also want to stay true to Metal Gear Scanlon (which likely won't finish before end of 2015)....

I think you should play them all by yourself first.

 

[Archaix]

Play them! 3 is legitimately fun to play and a game I consider among the best ever, it would be a shame to know everything in advance. You can be Dan next time, watching Drew's reactions instead of focusing on the crazy yourself.

Plus, by the time you finish MGS2 you'll probably want to watch it over again so you have that to look forward to.

MGS4 is 90% the same experience watching yourself or watching somebody else watch it, so do whatever you like with that one.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

You're not Yoshichan!

Me and him would get along~!

 

[bigkrev]

I've tried so many times to play MGS3, but the lack of radar and the mechanics just drive me away from the game every time I try it.

Can I just skip ahead to MGS4 if I played MGS1 and 2?

No, don't do that. The lack of radar isn't such a big deal. Especially since Subsistence added a real third-person camera, which lets the player see all of his surroundings.

 

[ratcliffja]

Meryl. He didn't screw up the interrogation to surprise of everyone.

I believe he got (spoilers just in case)

the Meryl ending.

Thanks guys.

So the person answering just has to guess?

I meant without ME watching any of the Endurance Run.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

So is Jeff gonna replace Drew in a couple of Demo Derby episodes?

Cause that would be Diesel.

 

[Zombie James]

Can I just skip ahead to MGS4 if I played MGS1 and 2?

No. MGS3 is vital to understanding MGS4. Once you get used to the tools MGS3 gives you (and glorious CQC), it'll feel completely natural.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So how was MGS?

MGS 3 is pretty important for the series. Every single post metal gear game is about dealing with it. Even 4 (thought in the clumsiest way possible).

 

[Twin Tails]

Can't wait for Brad's trip to the dentist

 

[daydream]

Drew breezed right through it.

More like having a semblance of emotional impact as

is pretty shoehorned.

Aw, was hoping for a longer episode filled with deaths.

You'll be sorely disappointed. He did so great this episode. For a while, he actually enjoyed playing the game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Well with how short this episode probably is they would probably have the archive up soon right?

[BennyBlanco]

I stopped playing it like an hour before the stream started just to make sure I wouldn't lose track of time and miss it.



On that note, Brad really liked Shadow of Mordor, 5/5

http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor-review/1900-673/

"5/5, perfectly competent."

hahaha hahah hahhhahh

Drew actually

did it. He got legit mad at the game.

 

[jmood88]

I had no interest in Shadow of Mordor before that quick look. Thanks for making me spend more money, guys.

Yeah that game looks great. I just don't have time for it with GTA coming out and Destiny etc..


But that shit looks smokin' really happy about what I saw.

 

[Incandenza]

Dan Ryckert's college experience is so wildly different from mine that it almost feels inappropriate to label them with the same word.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I think Drew is gonna LOVE Snake Eater.

Like any sane person would.

 

[Zebetite]

It just seems so up his alley. It's probably the most action-movie of the lot, it's got a bunch of cool Cold War intrigue, the entire game is spent messing around with an enormous toolkit in the most creative ways you can muster.

The only problem I forsee is that MGS3 has the most complex control scheme in the entire series. It took him nearly all of MGS1 just to get a grip on the controls for that game, I shudder to think how long it will be until he's able to effectively CQC. Or shoot a guy in first person down the barrel of a rifle by peeking up from behind cover (Which, for reference, requires you to hold down all four shoulder buttons [starting with R1, then adding L1, then adding R2 and L2 at the same time] and press Square.)

Luckily he'll have practice with MGS2.

Man, I'm so psyched for those parts.

I know a lot of people hated the stamina/eating system but I loved it. That and the healing system, I was hoping to see it return in Phantom Pain but I don't think it made it.

Eating snakes

was so much fun.

 

[Servbot #42]

Hey guys wasn't peace walker the game where you had to do some bullshit grinding to get the true ending? I remember something like that pulling me away from the game.

 

[alr1ght]

I made a playlist in the proper chronological order for "Dan and His Dad"
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1eolj9LkdaDUewPCHoLKERaEBzgM6mxv

Seriously, just watch it. It's fucking hilarious. I've only watched the first few, but I'd highly recommend the Dead Space 2 and Heavy Rain videos.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I hope drew spend an entire episode in MGS2 shooting people in the balls.

One of my most memorable gaming moments is getting into a situation where I sit in a corner for 20 mins or so shooting a constant stream of guards in the balls.

It isn't really any more complicated than 2.

Stuff like capturing wildlife for food and finding awesome new camo patterns were some of the best parts of the game.

 

[Fotheringay]

I just went back and played through Snake Eater last weekend, and having to pause and go to the menu to switch camo options is annoying, but the load times are fast enough that it's not totally off-putting. And yeah, Drew is going to fucking love the Cold War setting.

 

[elfinke]

Haha is that "!" over Drew's head new? I just noticed.

Well done Dan, Drew and Jason, thanks!

You need BS grinding to beat bosses.

 

[Chance Hale]

It's weird that Jeff says Forza is more relevant than Gran Turismo. Even now the games still sell many times more than every Forza game. 70 million overall compared to 10. GT6 has only sold around 2.6 million so far but it was at the tail end of the generation and that is still nearly twice every other Forza game.

And Drive Club is an arcade racer, it's not really encroaching on GT at all so it's not weird for Sony to greenlight it. Suppose they've always been that way with GT on giantbomb though, either ignored or complained about with inaccurate information

Edit: And Dan's comments about the Assassin's Creed climbing are weird. It's literally the exact same system, and you jump in the wrong direction just as often. Mordor isn't nearly as smooth about navigating corners either, climbing just feels bad. Game is pretty great though, and thankfully you aren't climbing towers and such all that often like you are in AC.
