Ugh I get so torn with the beastcast. On one hand it's hilarious and entertaining and on another is hair pulling annoying how Ill informed they are on a lot of things they try to cover, especially when it comes down to tech knowledge.
Well you can rest assured that they know they aren't good at that. Also the few people humble enough to have a correction segment on their podcast.
Most don't even acknowledge that they can be wrong in any way.
Being wrong or incompetent is a comeplete impossiblity,excuses is as far as they are willing to go, i'm looking at you Brad S..

Skyrim remastered selling double Titanfall 2 is really fucking sad. Skyrim wasn't a good game 5 years ago and to think people would mass double dip on it now is mind boggling.

What issue was Alex talking about with the Skyrim remaster?
Everything I heard made that seem like a pretty bog standard remaster. Not a lot of worthwhile improvements but likewise no new issues.

I think thats what he is saying. Its a bog standard remaster with little to no actual improvements at full price of a game that isn't that good to begin with
I think I might actually die if I tried to play Skyrim in 2016

Not so mind boggling when we have Skyrim, Witcher 3 in the last six years and erm. then you know, those 5 trillion shooters.

Its totally not. Honestly I am always baffled that the game has such a reputation and people remember it so fondly, even on this podcast. The character models are ugly. It plays horrendously. The story is a joke and Alduin is laughable even compares to Mehrunes Dagon, let alone Dagoth-Ur. It removed plenty of RPG features and didn't bother to put anything in to fill the gap. Dungeon design is a completely forgotten craft. The guilds are all lame and unrewarding, especially the Bard's which has no reason to exist and there isn't even an arena. The game wants to spend more time sucking your dick and letting you be the leader of every guild on top of being the Dragonborn and forgets to make any of it feel earned. iirc, you have to cast one spell to become leader of the Mage's Guild and you can just use a scroll.
Bethesda still makes unique games you can sink 200+ hours into and they cling to that as their one selling point, but its become clearer and clearer to me that they have zero fucking clue what an RPG is anymore. In Fallout 4 you cannot even roleplay, and they further remove more systems while keeping the worst ones like weight limits and bad inventory micro-management and I see no reason why they would change their mind come ESVI. Skyrim and Fallout 4 are about as much of an RPG as Far Cry 4.
Half a decade later when we've had games like Dragon's Dogma, 3 Dark Souls games and Bloodborne, The Witcher 3 and a ton of crowdfunded WRPGs the idea of going back and playing Skyrim sounds like cruel torture.

He's not wrong...it's bad. Quite so but for a very particular demographic.

Physical media was already on its way out with me after the homogeonized event horizon that was Gen 7. Now we got humongous day-one patches and you either get a collector's edition crawling with roll-the-dice quality or the standard edition which is usually a disc in a swiss cheese box that shut the door on all but the most Guarenteed To Like Games.
Steinbeck's awesome, good on California.
You know what, fuck those kids wrecking that typing class. You get an easy class, one where the teacher lets you sit and talk, with easy workload, and you DO THAT and ruin a good thing going? Fuck them.

They're generally good with the "again I'm not an expert and could be totally wrong" language, plus the corrections segment is a super awesome thing because it means we become more informed too.

Does Austin talk Titanfall 2?
It wasn't good it was great, it was GOTY especially in the context of this thread.
Having never watched any cars movies I'm pretty sure vinny just made up that intro to cars 2, like no way that actually happened.
Also Austin being there is so ace, I love waypoint but the way he meshes with the beast crew is just 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I listened to this podcast driving to Virginia and Austin being on there set this whole episode off.
I need to get a transcript of these tanks trying to name thing things like lean on me (someone like me) and Andy Garcia last week (what did he even call him?)

Much like Austin I too had an objectivist English teacher. She made us read The Fountainhead. Either in spite of our because of my hatred of that novel, I ended up writing the best essay in the class. She was also an outspoken Democrat and feminist and I never understood how she could reconcile the content of Rand's books with that.

You're really stretching with Dark Souls/Bloodborne series and all are very similar with the greatest respect to this great series of games so no. Crowd funded games, no. Its Skyrim, Witcher 3 and below that it's Dragons Dogma. It's a starved genre and also we're talking about a much revered game that's sold 24-25 million copies. A new version for the latest consoles is always going to sell some. Titanfall 2 still bombs if you delete Skyrim remaster from existence.

Man seeing Vinny talk about all this stuff with Max is weird seeing as I went through all of it with my son (7) just a few years ago.
He has still never seen Cars 2 cause man fuck that movie.

Alex needs to stop getting his information from fake news sites.
ahh shit I'm so mad realizing this.
Why won't you talk about this huge news Giant Bomb
8-4 talks about it on their latest episode. Spoiler:
they HAAAATE it
GB won't talk about it because they are getting PAID by Nintendo to not TALK about the leak.
PROVE ME WRONG

Vinny's Adam Sandler is spot on 
It's not that big a deal friend, no need to get into a tizzy but thanks for clip though
Crazy they actually said kill in a Disney movie
