he was saving his meter for Invisible Inc.

Also at some point you need to look for reasons other than you liking a game because then it ends in a 2 hours stalemate where two people haven't played the other game but feel really strongly about their game and so they just keep saying they like it and it goes nowhere

Right, and I understand that, but you can use your passion about something to express why it is good. If I was on the discussion, and I was trying to defend something like Undertale for best story, I would've been more quick to point out some of the really crazy way it subverted my expectations, and just played with the narrative. It seemed so cut and dry at first, and still maintains that on some level, but it also is expansive in a way I had never seen done so well in a game before. It almost is hard to comprehend when you try to look at the big picture, which is why I feel like it wasn't given a proper defense. 5 minutes was way too short a time to be talking about that game, that's for sure.

huh

wasn't working for me all day until five minutes ago on chrome and firefox

Caching issue with the HTTPS site, from what I saw earlier today.

 

[StoveOven]

The home page wasn't working for me earlier, but everything else was

 

[Incandenza]

I only realized it was still up because I searched twitter and saw that threads were still being posted.

 

[Chuck]

This robot golf UEX seems really forced. Both the game and the EX.

 

[TurboButts]

Anyone know if Square Enix's online store does release day delivery?

Try'na scalp this ultimate collectors edition because I'm garbage

The best way to surf giantbomb.com is through f1.cool

I wish Valve made games that had writing again.

There.

Just wait until you get to the gangam style

I thought 100ft Robot Golf looked cool.

I thought 100ft Robot Golf looked cool.

It made me wish that it was also happening in the middle of someone else's game of EDF.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It just looks super rough. From the weird stilted animations when flying and the weird ball physics.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Wow now I really want that.

 

[stump sock]

the front page of the steam store is somehow even harder to browse than normal right now because it's loaded with VR stuff

like look, I'm happy for you guys, but get that shit out of my face if I don't have the hardware

e: and Maple Story, how the fuck is Maple Story a going concern in 2016

e2: wait, it now says No Mans Sky launches the same day as PS4? is that right?

 

[Death Metalist]

e:

Greatness. Really love the game but man is it unforgiving when you start a run with terrible weapons.

The Steam user experience has been on a long downward spiral for years. It's really circling the drain with this VR stuff.

Wish 🌠 upf was today.

yes, I also wish it was Friday.

 

[justjim89]

I'm reliving Vinny's struggle against Artorias after my own assisted victory today. Watching the full video almost makes me wish I'd toughed it out.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I honestly don't think artorias was that hard. Got him down pretty easily with my 2 handed Capra demon sword build.

 

[stump sock]

how is it with a controller? if the answer is "good" I'll probably pick it up

e: screw it, I'll get it anyway

 

[lawnchair]

watching that vive launch lineup stuff was ... rough

 

[Archaix]

I'm reliving Vinny's struggle against Artorias after my own assisted victory today. Watching the full video almost makes me wish I'd toughed it out.

That boss took me so long that I had to completely change my playstyle and ended up wanting to start a new run immediately because I realized how bad I'd been up to that point. I banged my head against that wall and the DLC dragon for what felt like days.

Very solid. PC has an adjustable auto-aim that makes you feel like you're in control but also helps with the lack of mouse precision. My biggest problem is that the steam controller always thinks I'm clicking the trackpad down when I'm not trying to, and that causes me to use the blanks more than I'd want.

 

[Twin Tails]

Can be said about both headsets. Will PS VR launch with summer lesson? That would be it's killer app.

been playing with a controller, it's solid

It's way better than I expected it to be, there are options to help with aiming as well such as aim assist and the like.

 

[Noray]

Gungeon is fucking dope for real. It's like Rogue Legacy and Nuclear Throne had a love baby.

 

[popo]

Soz. It was purely because he has VR face.

I wonder what virtual really pursuit he was engrossed in...

its all good.

Speaking of politics on gaf (and thus ppl getting banned) - what happened to Breezy?

 

[Salty Catfish]

I haven't passed the second chamber yet and I'm loving it regardless. Some fucking awesome guns (my favorite so far is the Fightsabre, a machine gun that turns into a bullet-deflecting lightsaber when you reload).

 

[Tubobutts]

Seeing Vinny's new avatar on the Twitter thing on giantbomb.com confused me for a second because I used to use that picture as my steam avatar and giantbomb avatar. And then I realized it's even weirder because it's a picture of him, but I associate it with myself.

 

[Death Metalist]

The most I reached was the boss of the third chamber. There's also pretty interesting individuals you meet up with randomly that do all sorts of things and things that are not clear,

Spoiler

for example that shortcut guy, I still don't know what the fuck he wants. He keeps telling me to meet him at Chamber 2 but I never find him.

It definitely is a game that has a ton of secrets and hidden things.

e: I also don't know what the shrines and altars do.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Gungeon is fucking dope for real. It's like Rogue Legacy and Nuclear Throne had a love baby.

So does it have persistent upgrades?

I was confused about where to find him too, but

Spoiler

he's in a hole that's left by the entrance elevator when it leaves.

It's a fantastic game. I have to admit, I'm a sucker for all the dumb gun puns they came up with. So far my favorite gun name is the "VertebraeK-47"

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Spoiler

I left a gun at a statue that told me to "Lay down my arms" got back and got a note saying "Thanks for the weapon chump"

So does it have persistent upgrades?

Not as far as I can tell

I kind of had the feeling after seeing

a sticker

but I didn't want to risk losing my health lol. My favorite gun is the lower case r that shoots B U L L E T S and keeps repeat talking bulletsbulletsbulletsbullets while shooting.

As far as I know,

Spoiler

that's the fucking rat that steals whatever you leave behind in a room when you go to another room.

Other then that, the altars, shrines and that room with the fireplace do things but I'm not sure what exactly.

 

[stump sock]

So does it have persistent upgrades?

it seems to have persistent unlocks like Necrodancer, you get NPCs and stuff and like Isaac you unlock new weapons that might show up randomly

 

[Felix Lighter]

Tested hired Simone Giertz, a weird robot builder, that I was surprised to find out is Swedish. Yet another Scandinavian that speaks English with an almost perfect American accent.

 

[yami4ct]

Neogaf has been misbehaving for me all day. I legit thought my ISP might've accidentally blocked Gaf for me for a bit. That was a weird moment.

Watching the GBEast Kerbal Wrap Up/Watch Party archive got me to download KSP 1.1 and a bunch of mods finally. Let's take some dummies to the Mun.

EDIT: HTTPS problems still? I guess that's why it was down for me but Downforeveryone told me it was just my end. Good to know.

We watch a lot of American TV and film!

She's great! Everyone has probably seen a lot of gifs of her around. She builds (intentionally) shitty robots.

 

[stump sock]

I didn't know she WASN'T american, wow

 

[Tubobutts]

I still don't like Swedish people not having funny accents. In addition to learning that when I met Swedish people, I watched an interview with a Swedish band and they just sounded like Americans. Why would the muppets lie to me?

There's still plenty of Swedes and other Scandinavians with funny accents, don't you worry about that.
