Jeff is the kind of dude who would play Overwatch exclusively as Soldier 57
Funny, I though the exact same thing last night when I was doing the tutorials with Soldier 76

There's not really any reason to think that they'll complain about it. Jeff has said that he's not interested as he doesn't really care for that type of shooter but he thinks it looks well made. It might not take the staff by storm but if Austin, Brad and Dan's reactions to the beta are any indication then it will probably have a couple of fans on the staff.

Clash Royale is more likely to win an award probably.

I think it will and I will immediately think Bloodborne got robbed.

Soldier 76 is really solid and badass all around. I always found it hilarious hiw his ultimate is just aimbot for 10 seconds.
I didn't know Brad and Jeff were SO tough on third or fourth installements of a series. At least I'm glad my stance isn't "well, it's already the third one in the series so meh". But I haven't been playing games as long as they have so what do I know. They have more context than me at this point.

Over at Easy Allies (the former GameTrailers guys), Kyle Bosman is doing a feature that reminds me of the type of thing that we'd see in Breaking Brad. It's called Bosman vs Wozniak, in which Kyle attempts to beat Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak's famous Tetris score. For a little bit of history, Steve submitted his high score of 546,145 under the alias of Evets Kainzow to Nintendo Power Magazine. Despite never even coming close to that score in the past, Kyle thinks he'll do it.

What I want to know is how do we know he didn't just write an arbitrary number? This was before online play, so he could've simply lied (not that I'm accusing him of that). It's just that that was more in the realm of possibility back then than it is today. With online leaderboards and streaming, you can easily show that your score is legitimate.

It's keeps it up a level when you realize there one-handed shotguns.

It works for vampires its good enough for Steve
I might be wrong, but I thought you were required to send in a picture of your score.

I hit my first DS 3 boss that's giving me a serious challenge. I should have him, but I get nervous and greedy.

Ah. Well, that would explain it.

And then I beat him on my first try after a 3 hour break. So weird how that happens.

This makes me think of how I always thought it would be neat if someone at GB did a series where they try to learn how to speedrun a game. It'd have to be highly edited but it could be fun.
I'm a fan of Easy Allies but have found this feature to be really boring. Good idea, but watching solo streams isn't my thing I guess.

You know you're really deep in when you're preemptively waiting for giantbomb to hate a game you like.

Overwatch looks amazing but I hate how overly competitive I get. The better I get, the more I expect from myself and the angrier I get when I make mistakes. It's an annoying character flaw.

The second you start getting good at a character switch to an opoosite role character and bam, you cant hate yourself for not knowing how to play it.

After all the VR talked finally tried Gear VR for like a minute. It's alright. Didn't really feel the sensation stuff (maybe the lens wasn't focusing), but I can see myself using something with better resolution if it's affordable. PS VR is kind of a stretch.
Is it worth getting a "cardboard" type thing just for funsies?

I would think cardboard would be worse than the gear vr when it comes to the quality of the lens and ability to adjust focus.

yeah but it's also like $20 so it's probably worth it to goof around with vr porn for a few minutes if nothing else
Final Fantasy 9 is the best Final Fantasy. Fights can be slow, though.
Final Fantasy 4 to 12 + 14 are all the good ones really.

It's not good. It's the least favorably remembered out of the PS1 games, below FF7 and FF8.
It really isn't all that worth it unless you REALLY wanna play through all the final fantasies.
Watching the GBeast Playdate... It really bums me out that they always feel obligated to show a studio cam.... It doesn't add anything at all... ESPECIALLY for GBEast where you just see Vinny looking at a TV offscreen and the other two guys looking at their laptop...
Right now it just waste screen real estate and hides game stuff that is actually useful.
Also doesn't help that Vinny always put it like 200px away from each sides for some reason.
I would argue that the same is also kinda apply to GB West but at least they can incorporate the layout in a much better way and they actually have a rapport so the studio cam is useful from time to time.

did they do PIP again? they actually had a good screen layout for the last Rondo video.
there's some merit to having faces on the screen for viewer engagement and yadda yadda, whatever I could go either way half the time. but the PIP stuff needs to go.

The only thing I don't like is that the wall behind Vinny is too short and you can see up and over it, whereas the wall behind Alex and Austin is always taller than the camera can see. I just think it would look more professional (HAHA, I know) if they made that wall higher. Also, I kind of liked the red they used to have (when the Dredd poster was used), but I believe they went blue due to the color of those walls.

The good news is the PC version comes with a turbo mode button just for that reason. Helps a bunch.
Well they could also zoom in... I mean... wtf is the point of that PIP? Their bodies take like 15% of the actual PIP

I watch giantbomb more for the duders than the actual videogames, so PiP is nice.
I watch Giantbomb for what the duders say while playing game. Not for watching them look down at a laptop.
