Grow Home was the best game in that month's selections and I didn't expect for a minute that it would win. I just assumed it would have been the one with zombies in the title.

Isn't the PS4 version of Grow Home fucked up, too?

Skinistar.

Giant Bomb #21 | I got molested by a fucking robot

It launched all umoptimized but it got patched a few weeks later. It's totally fine now.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

So um...you could get pegged by buying the MS entertainment pack...

 

[Myggen]

Look at that happy robot.

Really? How's the framerate? Variable or solid?

It's mostly north of 30 from what I remember with no tearing. I don't remember if it held 60 often but I recall not really being bothered by its performance

It was, no way to know that at the time of voting though.

The weird AI stuff Jeff's talking about totally happens, but you also get these weirdly dynamic AI moments where the enemies flank and outmaneuver you in awesome ways.

Sounds about right.

Was this ski game a Windows game in the States? I've never seen it before.

Nah, I definitely played it way too much as a kid on Norwegian Windows.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

The weapon situation is what's preventing me from buying The Division. I don't get the point of a loot game with no interesting loot.

Also Roland is boring as heck and Nisha is the best Borderlands class.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yes! Press conference Game Tape next week.

dark souls 3 is still a couple weeks out

 

[Twin Tails]

Sweet Game Tapes

 

[Myggen]

Huh, strange that I completely missed it.

Edit: Maybe sounds like there won't be an interview show for GDC this year. I'll still hold out hope! Get hyped for classic E3 Conference Game Tapes though, maybe Nintendo 2005?

 

[stump sock]

Norwegian Windows.

this is a pretty good name for a dopey indie band with lots of hand clapping in it

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I liked the turret in BL2, but then again I never played BL1.

The turret in BL1 was more useful, but the turret in BL2 was more novel.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Drew picked a great game. This UPF is great so far.

 

[Concrete Charlie]

Can't say these guest articles are doing much for me.

 

[daydream]

no vinnyvania archive, yet. sad face.

 

[K.Sabot]

Drew's a bad liar.

I thought you were talking about weird al yankovic for a moment there.

 

[TraBuch]

Wonder how these guest articles are doing. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't really seem like this is the type of stuff the average GB fan visits the site for.

 

[stump sock]

wow, jeff was right about PS4 Brofoce being fucked up. how did this even get released like this?

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Yeah it's a real bummer because I really want to play Broforce.

 

[TraBuch]

Why do so many of these indie games have such shitty performance?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

So I finished God of War ascension and then finally played through Year Walk

Wow the latter is so much better. And scary. And actually really interesting after the true ending?

I started a PS Now free trial because I wanted to play Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, and that's like five hours long so I've moved onto Ascension. What the fuck were they thinking with these zoom outs? I have no idea what's going on when that happens. It's really hard to follow.

For me, it's the lack of an interesting narrative and gameplay that doesn't feel as tight or as deep as previous games. Then, there are these action set pieces that half the time are more annoying than enjoyable.

Still, it's pretty as hell and there's some amazing moments in there. It's just there's a lot of reasons to not even bother, too

How was UPF tonight? Worth watching or should I focus on how to kill Victor Novikov with the body of his own lover as a weapon?

 

[OdysseusVA]

The latter

If GBWest was playing as Maria they'd be saying 'This is great. Why would you play as anyone else?'

It feels weird, yeah. And the enemies in the first area are white-colored. Like Kratos. When the game zooms out and everything is super small. Which microscopic white humanoid am I controlling? Who knows?

No thing abut after hour stream..

Drunk post?

Just leave UPF on in the background while you conquer Paris as Helmut Fucking Kruger.

drunk off that Domino's, son

 

[Piston Hyundai]

hey, "max payne 3 is amazing" guys

how great is that boss fight with the militia leader where you have to press the right buttons when the screen tells you to

Sounds like Azura's Wrath or Naruto. Is Max Payne 3 anime?

I'm sorry that one moment ruins everything else for you in this 7+ hour game. On another note, can't wait to watch UPF later today.

Is it time to get weird?
