I don't know, I thought Drew's game was cool and so was the one he did last week, Terra Battle, but fuck that dumb WWE card game, Jeff has some weird tastes.

Watching the MCC quick look, looks like a ton of content. The game looks really good too with 60 frame per second, I'm kinds amazed right now haha.

Demo Derby coming tomorrow morning 9:00am EST. Sega Dreamcast. Hot damn!
Log out, log back in, clear cookies, or otherwise message Rorie. It shouldn't be that long if you're still waiting.

Is he just "rorie" through the giantbomb email system?

watching knuckles act like a dumbass in the background with Jeff and Dan commenting was fucking worth it.

I thought Dan was calling the wonderful Syberia games bad only to realize they were talking about Cyberia which I've never heard of. Always fun to discover new games, no matter how poor

the game is a real mess right now MP and SP.
Well for anybody planning on spending most of their time with the multiplayer it's basically been unplayable since it released. The smart thing to do would be to wait until they get their shit together and buy it then.
Just finished MGS ep.3 (I'm so behind on content...), holy shit this would have blown my mind back in 2002. Shame it came out around the time my new PC and Xbox took over my life (but no regrets spending hundreds of hours in Halo multiplayer) while my Playstation collected dust.

Is yesterday's UPF meant to start with Rorie already playing Dragon Age? I'm assuming so but always want to make sure I'm not missing out on content.

Agreed.
What's wrong with the SP? I haven't been following the game and I can't even comprehend how they could possibly screw that side of it up.

Jason said in the comment section that the first few minute was lost due to audio issues.
You can watch the first few minutes here, but the mics are muted (just music). You're missing nothing http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/embed/8635/?allow_gb=yes

I dunno, it'd be like giantbomb doing new quick looks whenever COD gets a new map pack or if some fighting game released DLC characters.

I know it's subscriber only, which is unfortunate in this case but Dan's segment of this weeks UPF was dedicated to MK8 DLC.
DontBeThatGuy
Member
They've done that before.
I figured the MK8 DLC was substantial and high profile enough. They've done DLC QLs before.

The first MK8 DLC is literally a quarter of a new Mario Kart game. I'm fine with them limiting it to UPF though, I don't need to see Wario's Gold Mine or whatever.
So the modern Sonic games, since 2006 I think, have made it so that you can only ever drop a maximum of 50 rings. Not especially meaningful in those games, but it'd be helpful as FUCK in the Mega Drive games, because pretty much all Special Stages require a shitload of rings to access.

They haven't done it in awhile though.

I'm like 85% sure that Colors and Generations still had you drop your entire ring count.
Hot Coldman
Banned
Maybe Colours does, but I'm preeeeeetty sure Generations didn't. IDK. Like I said, rings basically mean nothing in those games anyway once you get more than one.

Y'know, to give sonic boom a little credit I would be kinda into a game of this type if it was... good. Plus the characters themselves don't seem entirely terrible.

It's been a while, hence my 15% uncertainty.
While it's true that rings didn't matter mechanically, there was always this smug satisfaction I had when I could get through a level without being hit, as indicated by the 200+ rings I had collected.

I don't understand why they were all bickering when they got caught! It's not like they protested entering the temple, they were all for it. Normally Sonic is hardly leadership material, but he's at least supposed to be a good friend to his pals, so yeah.
The characterisation seems odd. They should have Ian Flynn write these games, he understands those characters perfectly.

Character flaws create narrative depth!
