By GQman2121 Go To PostWhat is it about lists or charts that is so appealing to the core that follow this particular hobby?
I've been playing games for more than thirty years and I've never felt more disconnected from what is popular now days.
Streamers, esports, YouTube personalities, etc. don't speak to me at all. I don't understand any if it.
Lists and ratings are there for people to argue over and for some to feel a sort of “validation” in their own opinions by seeing their favourite game/show/film/album/etc. at the top.
I dunno about YouTubers and majority of streamers. I don’t get anything out of average people playing a game averagely while attempting to be entertaining.
Esports though, I can get behind that. Despite getting on a bit now, my reactions are still really good and I tend to do well in competitive games. Seeing competition in games taken seriously, and played at a high level is entertaining when I already have an interest in the game being played.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostNaw , they knew what they were doing when they gave an impossible mission to a B team–for what they were given I thought they did alright. The gameplay is fine and the plot is….fine given how terrible the idea was to begin with. Mass Effect 3 ended in such a way that they had nothing to work with.naw fam
andromeda was shit. gameplay was fine? for all the number of abilities and possibilities and enemies - you play exactly the same way the entire game. its the third person equivalent of persona 5's battle system. the story? uh no. you don't go to a new galaxy and have just one, pathetic, new race. you're a 'pioneer', but literally everything you find someone else has already encountered or fucked prior. oh and lets give you an AI that removes the tension from everything too. door locked? age old mystery? not sure who dun it? call SAM. the real hero. you're just a supercomputer's patsy.
game is shit

pubg rank resets are like Christmas morning
I can never keep up with these. When did this happen, and are they announced before hand?
By Smokey Go To PostI can never keep up with these. When did this happen, and are they announced before hand?Launch of 1.0 was a reset. They are announced on their twitter and the like. I don't know what their "season" schedule will be from here on out though.
By data Go To Postyall remember Destiny 2?Was that the sidescroller with the old timey cartoon graphics?

Where you getting those stats from?
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe irony in this when one game lets you date a middle schooler and the one that doesn't is the one you call sex offender chronicles 2 lmao
yeah, some characters in x2 got hilariously tig ole bitties. what a world. outside of that, you're getting a better game, story, and you don't have to make the difficult choice of fucking your pediatrician or your homeroom teacher
*young magus daps this*
Finally picked up the US digital code after amazon gift cards and the dubs not that bad lol
By Smokey Go To PostWhere you getting those stats from?there's a bunch of tracking sites, i use https://pubgtracker.com/ i think you have to actively check them for it to track stats
Listening to Giantbombs goty podcasts
Alex needs a slap for suddenly deciding that early access games should count for Best Surprise, and they all need a kick up the arse for not deciding what Best World means before recording

By YungMagus Go To Post*young magus daps this*The dub is great. Loved the focus on accents and it was great to see an honest, good approach to it. It really stands out and you'll even be sideyeing people later on in the game too lol.

I just beat it the other day too. Its a damn good game, would be a GoTY type thing to me if it didn't have so many technical issues (saves, popins, slow downs in bigger fights). They don't make 100+ hour RPGs anymore. They damn sure don't make great ones that don't stretch your game clock with repetitive bullshit word to Persona. OST is godlike too.
Battle system was one thing I did a 180 on maybe an hour into the game. Looking at videos, I thought it was gonna be dumb and slow. Playing it is anything but.
By Kibner Go To PostAny chance the one x will go on sale anytime soon?Doubt it. I’d expect to see a sale or price drop next Black Friday at the earliest.

Shit. I haven't listened yet, but are they having an off year? I still haven't forgotten the great Mordor over Bayonetta fuckup.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostShit. I haven't listened yet, but are they having an off year? I still haven't forgotten the great Mordor over Bayonetta fuckup.It's much better than last year's
Everyone is getting involved except Dan. Last year it may as well have just been Jeff and Brad
Plus they're not getting as hung up on choosing between 2 things as they seemed to last year, so the deliberations are moving at more brisk pace
Alex could deliver world peace and he'd still do my head in though
By Red Blaster Go To Postis there anyone working at giant bomb who isn't whitethey just hired an asian guy
They had Austin Walker as well but he left to do that Vice thing with Patrick.
Been enjoying this years GOTY a lot more than the last few ones. Abby adds a lot I think, as a counter point to what most of the rest seems to love. Brad is still always a baby though.

man. this entire era. the demonstrations are cringe AF.

Good side of habitual liar molyneux, too.
The workout one was also functional. But that entire reel was largely bogus nonsense of non-games. All that Star Wars stuff, Jesus Christ. It's amazing they stuffed that thing into the original Xbone box.

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostI just played Doki Doki Literature Club.
I need an adult.
I thought the whole point of that playing those games was not needing an adult.

It was incredible what he was saying.

oh damn i didn't know austin worked there. waypoint is good in theory but its execution is lacking--the individual personalities are very good tho.
By Kibner Go To PostThose dance games were a pretty good use of Kinect. Other than that, though…Dance Central was terrific, I have all 3. The Your Shape workout "games" were decent.
By Red Blaster Go To Postoh damn i didn't know austin worked there. waypoint is good in theory but its execution is lacking–the individual personalities are very good tho.I dislike Danika Harrod.
By RATHasReturned Go To PostI dislike Danika Harrod.
why's that? she hasn't been on the podcasts ive listened to so far.
the main drag with waypoint are those damn fanfics which suck ass. granted they're mostly by freelancers but god are they cringeworthy.
I may have spoke too soon. Once I got a decently upgraded chipset, Nier suddenly became way less gruelling. Enemies don't take me down in 3 hits anymore and the wolverine health upgrade has made healing items pretty much irrelevant. I haven't died in quite a while.
By rvy Go To Postyou should go fishing
Really? Every time a Japanese game confronts me with a fishing minigame my reaction is always the same: fucking why
By livefromkyoto Go To PostReally? Every time a Japanese game confronts me with a fishing minigame my reaction is always the same: fucking whythe fishing minigames are usually pretty good tho
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe fishing minigames are usually pretty good tho
Pretty sure I've never liked a single one. Not even in Suikoden, the series where I like everything.
got gifted some steam bux, I've got 40 dollarydoos.

yeah i just hopped off it a few minutes ago
just crossed 100hr mark
Finished the event missions for Battlefront 2 earlier today. I had to get a whole bunch of kills with all the basic units. The shop combat is pretty fun, but I may look into changing the control scheme for it. I enjoy the Heavy and Officer classes.
Still haven't done much with the story, though.
