I have a feeling one segment will be the open to all Uncharted 4 stress test.

Don't insult the GOAT Castlevania OST with this filth.

Did they finally add the lyrics to Barkerville in Rondo of Blood?
I immediately regret opening this.

They added a sick organ breakdown. Good enough?
What if Vinny ends up on the hidden route and we don't hear Barkerville
You're a bad person.

Devil Daggers is amazing, but it seems like I jumped out at the perfect time for a live stream.

Imma just post this here for comment because I don't know how many people actually look at the Beastcast thread.
I'm a little annoyed by how everyone was talking about NMS and the questions surrounding it. Austin especially was quite dismissive of people asking what it was/saying it was a walking simulator. Yeah it might have been on their website Austin, but all the E3 presentations just showed you flying around in a spaceship with almost no information. Matter of fact it was only thanks to the stuff coming out of the event this week that I learned about it being a suvival sim.
I think doing a little hand waving and suggesting that people want progress bars to be filled is really negative to folks that have genuine concerns about that game. For example, I haven't found any information regarding what happens if I decide to buy the game in a few years. Will the game select a spawn where no one else is? Are their claims of scale even legitimate in the first place? Can I join a specific area where my friends might be in order to play along with them, or is the mutliplayer aspect entirely passive? The space cop mechanic is poorly explained as well, and Brad saying there's no way to lower it sounds really shitty.
It's a very interesting game idea, but I'm completely turned off of it because of it being a resource gathering game. I had been hoping it was just an exploration game. Also if I'm wrong about this or those questions have been answered then I'll be happy to learn.

To be fair the game was shown and more information was given after E3 and before this event. I actually didn't think much actually came from this event other than release date. The stuff about gathering resources and all the police stuff came from the last big dump of info where there was something like 20 minutes of gameplay going around.

I'm kinda shocked at how people are just figuring out that NMS is gonna have heavy resource gathering elements.
Like, I thought the message since like, near day one was "You need to keep finding resources to build better ships to move on to the newer planets."
Were people just holding out hope that it wasn't gonna have resource gathering elements and just be pure exploration or something?

The fact that there are NPCs, trading and dialogue surprised me. I honestly wasn't expecting that.
They have actually said a lot about what you do in NMS, but it wasn't at times or places where all eyes were on them and I don't think it was what many people wanted to hear either. Even now in Brad's interview they spend the majority of time explaining what it isn't.

I like it but I also vastly prefer the live versions of those songs (the ones that have live versions anyway). It's pretty sweet to just get this out of nowhere though.

Yeah, I guess that was new. Forgot about that stuff. The hacking stuff too.
Actually probably the biggest surprise to me was the language stuff. That could be cool. But really nothing in the main mechanics category was really new. The resource gathering and crafting has been talked about for a long while.
Same. They've been talking about finding resources to upgrade your weapon, ship and ftl drive for at least a year now.
Oh without that borderlands ost? Cool
I enjoyed TPAB as an album, with every song telling me a part of a bigger story. If we're talking about each song independently, I agree with you.

They gave people who aren't insane a way to legally buy the game? The nerve!

It wasn't that for me, I definitely just didn't ever get the message that it was resource gathering in the way that it's been talked about recently. Weird.

Rondo is also available on the PSP/Vita digitally, too, which is where i played the OG version.

Dammit now this is going to be stuck in my head.
Agreed, I've been struggling to think if that was just the assumption I always had or that was something that Hello Games had actually said at some point close to the reveal.
I remember people getting pissed about garou coming out on xbla and a little bit for xenoblade

German with Japanese subtitles. That's nice.

Is the resource gathering planet to planet, like each planet is a little stage, or are you free to explore the planets in a system and need to upgrade your ship to get to another system? Because if it's planet to planet that's going to make a game about space feel incredibly tiny.

OH FUCK is the song for the name entry screen the same as the circle of the moon?

Pretty much every post Rondo castlevania (sans Bloodlines i think) pulls from Rondo. Just wait.

You start on a random planet. You can go wherever you want. You'll have to upgrade your ship to make larger jumps to further systems.

I was really hoping for a "NO NO NOOO" to play there.
The majority of these tracks sound like they came right off TPAB so I don't really understand this opinion
