Giant Bombcast - 11/24/15

Jeff should jump back into Bloodborne. He would have no problem getting co-op partners now.

I too need to get back into BB. I stopped at
the boss where you have to get up using staircases and drop down, similar to the 2nd boss from demon souls
. I have no idea how close I am to the end (if you know, id appreciate a % of where I am), but I really want to get back in.

And this is coming from a huge DS fan here. For some reason, I just didnt want to deal with the frustration anymore. Still a great game.

Was it
Micolash
? If so you're pretty close to the end.

Hmm.. that name doesnt sound familiar. This is the boss near the giant pig looking monsters that charge you (My memory is failing me at the moment).

But the layout of the room was one giant open space in the middle, then upper levels on the left and right side. You access those upper levels using staircases, and apparently you can go up there and sort of cheese the boss, but he can still grab/hit you from what I remember.

He apparently is "super easy" but I kept dying every attempt, lol.

Sounds like
the One Reborn
I think. He is the boss right after
Rom
I believe. I'd say you are about 70% of the way through if so.

YESSS! Thats it! Thank you for the reminder! I just beat
Rom
, which was a glorious event, then got hung up on him and gave up lol.

If im 70%, im gonna get back in to finish. I might even start up a new run.
 
i need Brad to voice his detailed impressions of StarCraft 2's ending in full spoilers in GOTY discussions.
 
Re: Shooter Talk

How would adding that light layer of single player content solve the multiplayer shallowness? Then people would have criticized DICE for not investing in the multiplayer more. If not that, people would have criticized the entire package for being too shallow and tacking on the light single player campaign to prop up the price. I don't think a big company like EA can just slap stuff together and push it out to their consumers like that.

It's interesting to see how my opinion of Advanced Warfare diverged with Jeff's. It was one of my favorite games last year as well but the multiplayer didn't have the legs that Black Ops III has. I enjoy most if not all the BLOPS3's maps in Domination mode, for example. AW's maps for that mode? Not so much. It highlights the ever growing divide in the fan base where certain players value how Treyarch does things while others prefer the other studios' approach.
 
Why is Brad so bad at e-mails?

"I got this e-mail it's about X but I'm not sure if I should read it"

THEN DON'T MENTION IT TO THE AUDIENCE, WHO MAY NEVER HEAR IT.

He does this a lot.

Yeah, if he ever does this and doesn't read the email he needs to edit it out otherwise it's a huge tease.

I think, whoever said it, is right about it might be writing a Star Wars story in a video game form just isn't allowed until Amy Henning game comes out or the new movie.
 
Good cast this week, though I took a break half way through to watch their FB stream, which was super interesting.

NSFW warning on the show notes this week.

Wish I would have caught that earlier. Whoops. Hope no one behind me saw that.
 
"Brad talks about Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void and the ending (He tries to avoid spoilers)"

Brad and "tries to avoid spoilers" in the same sentence. does he succeed?
 
Wait... Hold the phone. Jeff is engaged now??!
He says so around 2:54:30

He mentioned months ago how they were planning for wedding so yeah. I'm sure some determined fans will find out where they are registered so they can send Jeff old Xbox 360 sports games and other literal garbage.

You mean this is what my 80 Amiga Format cover disks have been waiting for?
