Not only is Metal Gear not an anime, it has now transcended video games.

 

[CrazyDude]

Anyone have a link to the stream that doesn't shut down when the stream is over?

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

bully ost is the shit

 

[Hot Coldman]

Ugh, that Hyrule Circuit music is so fucking good.

 

[popo]

To go from having sex with Madonna in her prime to losing a rotting piece of your finger during a poker game. Dude really took a tumble.

I imagine you could lose a finger having sex with Madonna.

 

[Volotaire]

Ugh, that Hyrule Circuit music is so fucking good.

Yes, yes it is.

Jeff is FINALLY playing WWE Supercard on UPF!

 

[Hot Coldman]

this music is terrrrrrrrible

 

[Khezu]

I don't know anything about Wrestling but AJ Lee is the most attractive human in existence.

 

[Wunder]

I'm going to download htis game

 

[Felix Lighter]

This is exactly the way Jeff has described this game and I'm still shocked by what I'm looking at.

 

[AcridMeat]

I have the NBA version of this, I've been weirdly playing it a lot like Jeff has with this.

I dunno man.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I'm glad to have finally seen this wrestling card game and equally glad to never get involved with it.

Also this book i need it.

 

[Felix Lighter]

That is one well made Sega Genesis book.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This and the Sensible Soccer books are great. Some of the best Kickstarters I've backed.

[EDIT - Hah, I meant Sensible Software, of course.]

 

[Hot Coldman]

That book is £35. Fuck.

 

[DrFunk]

buying this goddamn book now

 

[Felix Lighter]

I payed like $120 for the Calvin and Hobbes Complete collection. It consists of 3 books but it looks to be of similar quality and it didn't have any foldout pages.

 

[Zaph]

That book is £35. Fuck.

Pretty fair for a coffee table book. Most good ones are £60-£200 (especially niche books which don't benefit from printing economies of scale).

 

[Aaron]

Serious console porn.

 

[Liamc723]

There's a book that costs £200!?

 

[An-Det]

Man, that book looks incredible. I'm kinda tempted and I never really got into most of those systems.

I had enough of a problem spending £50 per textbook at uni, never mind that much for that shit.

I need to finally buy the missing cables for my Mega CD, anyway.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

What is this even.

 

[SmithnCo]

MY BABY'S ALL LIQUORED UP

 

[Volcynika]

I had this game back as a kid.

 

[Data West]

Watching that Far Cry quick look. I think Ubisoft has ruined collectibles for me, and I'm one of the 'get all the feathers/flags' type. It's just.. It's too much, and it's all at once. It's ridiculous, and it makes it real obvious that it's just padding the game with arbitrary content.

 

[Archaix]

Jeff really likes the Substitute.

Jeff remembers all of the character names from the Substitute.

None of this should come as a surprise, but all of it still does.

 

[SmithnCo]

lol, Dan's face when he heard Cyberia. Those were great super replays.

Brad actually says near the end of the QL: "it's not like they've been running this type of game into the ground every year or something yet".

They've released 4 of these Ubisoft Open World™ formula games just this year!

We've progressed from yearly franchise iteration to quarterly.

Like, I didn't think ACU was that bad from what I played... and then I got to the little cafe area part near the beginning, and it's like fucking slow down with all the information. Just stop. Instead of making me want to collect all of it you make it seem so endless that I don't want to pursue ANY of it.

 

[Wiseblood]

So I looked up that "Baby's Liquored Up" song and the first result was an Evangelion AMV.

I figured that out after AC2.

is explosive runs a poop joke?

I feel any huge collectable quests should end in substantial rewards for the player which are crazy extras and not required for the core game, yet never seems to be the case any more. Farcry's particularly abhorrent in this regard because it hides basic quality of life features such as being able to carry more than 50 smg rounds at a time behind boring tasks such as the need to skin 4 boars and 12 meerkats.

To be honest I wish developers would focus on rewarding playing for exploring environments with unique content rather than with meaningless tokens. Things like finding the Crystal Skull Fridge in New Vegas was enjoyable and memorable where as finding a feather in Assassin's Creed is finding a fucking feather, I can't imagine the fridge was all that more difficult to put in the game.

Patrick is just now realizing that the AC games have been the same exact gameplay in a different setting? With the exception of the boat stuff in 4, that series has never looked like anything but a carbon copy of the gameplay in Brotherhood. That game came out 4 years ago.

Why stop at brotherhood? It's not as if that one was much different from AC2.

 

[Data West]

ACU makes AC2 look like Combat.

 

[Volotaire]

I did the same with MGS2 at the start of the struts (heading to F instead of B). Although, my reasoning was to purposefully explore the limits instead.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Jeff fucked that bear up at the end of the Far Cry 4 QL and they barely took notice. Video games.

 

[Data West]

Some of the exploring aspects of FC4 seem kinda cool though. Just a shame it comes out the same day as everything else.

 

[Incandenza]

Has this been discussed yet?

 

[Chance Hale]

Upgraded to a yearly membership as my recent monthly just ended but it hasn't gone through so I can't watch Scanlon 4 ;-;

 

[fleck0]

Far Cry 4 looks really fun, for a few hours at least. I worry I'll get bored of it like I did halfway through FC3. I thought the

Spoiler

Shangri-La

side-quest was pretty cool. I might end up getting this but I think I want to wait to hear Gaf's reactions after folks finish it.
