Golden Axe is not very good but I love it regardless.

Earthworm Jim is a poor game.

 

[a secret-boss]

Brad just broke UPF formula

EDIT: altered beast looked cool, but i thought it was kinda lame. I just wanna play as beast already than some lame dude

WIZE FWOM YOH GWAVE

Man, he's picking some the worst Genny games for music. Get some Hataya, Hubbard, and Nakamura up in this bitch.

Earthworm Jim is a poor game.

The arcade version of Golden Axe is a good game, Earthworm Jim had lots of good elements, like the music, animation, humor etc, but it never played very well.

Also, Jeff's opinion of beat 'em ups continues to be terrible.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Behold, the opposite of Jeff Apathy: Jeff SEETHING FASCINATION.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Earthworm Jim is terrible.

I swear I remember playing an Altered Beast style Mega Drive game but the character was a kid in an amusement park (I think) who could transform into different beasts.

For the life of me I can't remember the name.

Is it at all possible this is Kid Chameleon you're thinking of?

I don't necessarily think it is, but for some reason it's what came to mind. Even though that doesn't really match the description.

 

[Misterinenja]

Man, the music in these games is quite something.

 

[Myggen]

That's some great dog killing tech.

 

[Volotaire]

Just joined. And nice, they're playing Golden Axe.

Nah, a friend of mine made that exact suggestion a while back but it isn't it.

 

[LeBart]

Twin Snakes?

edit: TWIN SNAKES!

 

[Kimaka]

Twin Snakes? Come on Drew.

 

[robotrock]

twin snaaakes?

 

[Archaix]

Nah, a friend of mine made that exact suggestion a while back but it isn't it.

Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who ignored your description entirely aside from the words "kid" and "transform"

 

[Volotaire]

Oh snap! Twin Snakes!

 

[Misterinenja]

FUCK TWIN SNAKES NEVER PLAY IT

 

[daydream]

Awesome segment, thanks Brad. Love me some retrobomb.

Oh boy @ Drew's choice.

 

[Zaph]

OMG Metal Gear Scanlon bonus content tonight!

Edit: playing through Twin Snakes currently. It's ridiculously silly and great. Those cut scenes are something else.

 

[Incandenza]

Suddenly, more Metal Gear!

 

[Archaix]

Everybody knows Twin Snakes is anime for losers. Not like Metal Gear Solid, cool guy action movies for normal people.

 

[Misterinenja]

Way to ruin MGS2 mechanics by playing this garbage.

 

[Alfredo]

Gotta balance out the Twin Snakes negativity by saying I like that game.

This'll be Drew's first time with "modern" MGS controls (but still complicated as hell). I wonder how this will go.

 

[SlowRevolution]

brad's finally embracing his true self in chat

 

[Zaph]

I hope they get to the introduction of Gray Fox.

 

[daydream]

Drew should be able to speedrun this game now.

 

[Misterinenja]

Look at the lack of charm and style compared to original.

Look at it. Rub it in your face.

Sorry I'm pretty drunk at this point.

 

[Moldiver]

Metal Gear!?

 

[Dug]

Stop hating on MGS3, Jeff. >:|

 

[Hot Coldman]

cry more, camo babies

 

[Fotheringay]

Anyone that dislikes MGS Twin Snakes is like going back to your childhood playground and complaining about how everything's way smaller than it used to be.

I was ready to give up on mgs3 after an hour or two for the same reasons, then stuck with it, realised none of the camo or stamina stuff was hard or bothersome at all, and couldn't put the game down til I finished it. It just feels like a lot of crap with no benefit to begin with but turns out to be fine.

The beginning of MGS3 is rough. About 2 hours of cutscenes interlaced with the only gameplay being essentially a tutorial.

It's very much the deepest game in the series gameplay wise.

Overwhelming at first but rewarding when mastered and it gets better after every replay.

[Zaph]

This is already perfect.

 

[Rabbit Clock]

Jeff doesn't like the Big Boss games? Bad taste..

 

[robotrock]

2 is the best

 

[Infinite Justice]

looking forward to more Hoodslam impressions on the bombcast lol

 

[Myggen]

He's been banging that drum for years and years.

Brad going to Hoodslam confirms that he's morphing into Dan.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

The story in the Big Boss games are way better than the main timeline stuff... is pretty clear that Kojima didn't know where take the story after the MGS2... maybe he didn't even planed it...

 

[Misterinenja]

2 is the best

3>2>>>1>>4>>>>>PW

 

[Rabbit Clock]

He's been banging that drum for years and years.

I feel like Jeff just picks things to hate and refuses to ever change his stance.

 

[Infinite Justice]

He's been banging that drum for years and years.

yea

and iirc he liked MGS4 so he's fimrly on the 2 & 4 camp

Brad going to Hoodslam confirms that he's morphing into Dan.

But i thought we concluded that they were the same guy

anyways it should be interesting hearing Brad's take on that nonsense.

 

[SlowRevolution]

I'm not sure if it's accurate that he "picks" things to hate or whatever, but he knows what he likes and dislikes, that's for sure.

Yeah, he's said that he likes MGS when it's at its most insane.

 

[Alfredo]

Every time someone refers to Metal Gear Solid 2 or any of the sequels as "Metal Gear 2" and so-on, I think it's silly, 'cause there's already a Metal Gear 2! Also 'cause I'm a nerd.

 

[strafer]

i'm glad im not watching Jeff beat on the MGS series.

 

[Rabbit Clock]

I'm not sure if it's accurate that he "picks" things to hate or whatever, but he knows what he likes and dislikes, that's for sure.

I guess. He just always hates the coolest stuff.
