Does the Battlefront season pass have more maps then the actual base game?

IIrc there 12 maps in the base game and in season pass there are 16.

It would be cool if the stupid names didn't take priority over so many common ones, but whatever, it's a dumb little one-off thing, anyway.

I'd argue WW, TP, and SS are all equally terrible, but any given day the wind can change.

TP at the very least has a solid ratio of great dungeons as an advantage over the other two.

Wind Waker is not part of that discussion.

 

[braves01]

Twilight Princess is the worst 3D Zelda. I haven't even played Skyward Sword, but it is.

Play skyward sword bro, your opinion will change.

i forgot to mention one of my favorite moments when jeff likens the sc2 archon mode to being the pacific rim of real time strategy.

Back in my day we played games like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament and we didn't have these newfangled unlocks and progression systems and we liked it!

Yeah but UT and Q3A had 10 unique weapons and a shit load of maps. And mutators!

UT had 4 free map packs and user made maps and mods to keep it going.

What does people enjoying it have to do with critical analysis of video game design by professionals? There are plenty badly designed games that people enjoy.

Game design is inherently in service of creating enjoyable experiences so its absolutely relevant to any subjective critical analysis of a game. I have no idea what you think a "badly design" game is but if other people are enjoying it then I imagine that there are aspects of its design that are actually not as bad as you think.

Now if what you really want is for this personality driven website to strip out all their own experiences and feelings to discuss games with an objective approach, then you're missing the entire point of the podcast.

Well it was their choice to prioritise the insane graphics over more maps.

And everyone just played Facing Worlds anyways.

Spoiler

I'm exaggerating, but only a little

I think Brad's feelings on FO4 reflect my own pretty well. I've been doing what I tend to do in Fallout games and just explore, but the world feels so empty up north. Maybe it is time to finally make my way to Diamond City.

It definitely gets a lot better when you go further south.

I agree mostly with what they say about Fallout 4. Although despite what Jeff said, there's a ton of little story stuff out there that makes the world fill lived in. Almost every dungeon type area has its own little story.

Skyward Sword is literally unplayable to me because of the motion controls.

 

[KarmaCow]

The way Dan was trying to frame the problem with Battlefront's lack of variety as a problem of a simple progression system was weird. I don't see how gating the elements of the game differently would be any better. Jeff saying he got bored of Titanfall after he got the weapons he wanted was weird as well. That's when the game really starts thanks to the shitty unlock system in every game now.

sunshine probably doesn't hit the top 50, no.

damn blue coins. give me sunshine hd and fix that shit, nintendo. fuck twilight princess.

You can't fix that without straight up making new levels to fill the gaps they tried shove blue coins into.

Skyward Sword is literally unplayable to me because of the motion controls.

It's a bad game anyway, even with regular controls it would be a mediocre Zelda.

 

[tuxfool]

Is a mediocre Zelda a bad game? Extending that logic, Is a good Zelda a mediocre game?

It's not the user's job to care about that.

Witcher 3 looked the way it did with a massive world, 80 hour campaign, and then gave another 10-15 hour campaign for $9.99.

How did Dan know it was synthetic

 

[pizzacat]

How did Dan know it was synthetic

He assumed since he bought it from a high key shady af as fuck place


He should have just asked henry

 

[DryvBy]

Them talking about Command & Conquer and now Amazon has the entire collection for $5 for Origin.

Ok. I bought it. Thanks, Dan.

 

[Wensih]

There was very obviously self awareness in what he said.

Hmmmm... usually he follows it up with 'I guess no one got my reference.'

Such lack for Warcraft film hype

I found dan review of Twilight princess http://www.lawrence.com/news/2006/nov/14/review_legend_zelda_twilight_princess_wii/
Agree with his score, and complaining about tp getting a hd remake was dumb.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

The only place I've found salvagable stuff in the bushes is outside concerts. I don't think I want anything from bushes not out front of concerts; thats shit people WANTED to part with.

I get the negativity for the microtransaction system in MGSV and I think people should be critical of it, but hearing the guy's email that the offline mode doesn't exist anymore makes me wonder if people actually believe the FOB stuff is necessary in any way. I put 65 hours into the game in offline mode and just got to the "true ending" last weekend and never touched the FOB. It didn't take any extra time or effort, you just play through the game normally offline and get to see all the story content the game has to offer.

You can do that when you pay Polish wages to Polish workers.

How much money they want to lose per $60 disc is up to them

Outscourcing is pretty common nowadays. I think most bigger publishers outscource some stuff to cheaper countries.
