I did find it funny that Brad said he was tired of devs who can't help but reference their past games when talking about GoW but thought the call backs in RDR were amazing.

i never had any issues with the camera but i think it would be fine if they zoomed it out more for the sequel. that and improved the fast travel.

I do wish Brad would acknowledge that he just likes the vibe of Red Dead 2 and is willing to overlook its flaws whereas he clearly isn't for something like God of War. I mean, 80% of the Red Dead conversation in day 3 is Brad explaining or making an excuse for a shortcoming or complaint someone had about it.
Yikes, not a good look dude
1. Make comment
2. Get called out
3. "I'm just saying"
4. "You're a zealot! I'm out of here!"
5. Internet bingo

It's like listening to Podquisition with Laura Kate Dale defending BOTW so much that it has become a long running joke.
And I'm still thinking about beating the Valkyrie Queen and all the work that went into it.. So to each their own I guess.
Majima's introduction scene in 0 is absolutely a top 3 all time moment for me. And seeing his characteristics in the later games made it an even better moment.
LOL yes. im not going to argue with you. have a great day.

Hell to the yes. Yakuza 0 is real fuckin' good.
Actually, I love it.
I'm not familiar with the reference, but to be clear I think it's fair for him to defend it. It just leads to a pretty boring conversation to listen to when it comes off as just people listing complaints and someone else explaining why that wasn't a problem for them
I don't even know that much about Yakuza but that bit at the end where he says hello to "Kiryu-chan" and throws his head back still brought everything full circle and hit me like a brick.
How much do you know about specific in-jokes from your place of employment six years before you got there?
Just curious.
6. "I'm obviously better than this. I'm definitely not in the wrong and running away"
One could argue it's almost too good
not as good as GOTG dream daddy though
idk if any. and its obv not a requirement. im just saying its hard (for me) to watch. I realize now unless youre shoveling gold at abby's feet, its best to not even mention her. LOL thats the state of the world I guess.

you can paste the GB podcast RSS feed url (https://www.giantbomb.com/feeds/podcast) into the text field and hit "add feed" to get list of podcasts in browser - maybe that'll bypass the filter?
It hurts at how much truth is in that statement. After 0, I was naively expecting every Yakuza game to be of similar quality.
I enjoyed my time with the rest, but 3 was the only one that came close to being as good as 0.
The running joke is that Laura would defend everything in BOTW with "Yeah but that didn't bother me." It was said so much it kind of became an inside joke on the pod.
No kidding, 0 was my first one and I've spent at least some time with every game from 1 to 6 and... man. I keep comparing them to that peak.
No, you're just unreasonably criticizing a female staff member for some sort of expectation no one on staff would hold to in her situation. She's a video producer, this is a job for her. She's not some super-fan like us assholes, it's just a gig and there's nothing wrong with that. I had a similar reaction when I first watched it, but it's a dumb reaction to have and likely comes from a place of latent misogyny and subconsciously expecting women in male-dominated circles to "prove themselves."

I will admit, that lasted a week at least. I got the platinum in the game and the only thing I disliked about it (gameplay wise) was grinding for the full set of the mist armor so I could stand a chance going head to head with the queen. Some of the story stuff does not feel fully earned but other than that, it's a superb game. It's number 3 on my list.
maybe yakuza 7 will reach or surpass those heights? new protag, no kiryu (and presumably no majima either), new fighting styles, etc. im really excited for it

what does her being a woman have to do with anything? any criticism at all always comes back to that...
it is the worst world. im not as eloquent as Alex re existential crisis
Same, there were a couple references in the Giant ROM stuff that I didn't get, including this one. And I've been following the site for years.
Well, it would definitely be worse if latent or overt sexism wasn't called out.
I finally finished up day 3 and its hard to imagine RDR2 not taking it. Brad is just a beast.
I've been following them since Gamespot and I had no idea what that was.

Today most likely will have articles and awards given out. I'll be camping in the OP. I'll miss posting some of my thoughts while listening. It's going to be a long listen without posting or reading anything today and tomorrow too as to avoid spoilers. However, I will be updating the OP of course so always check on that and I'll post the crews list and videos of today as well as a reply for those reading the lastest page.
The desk looked pretty good in MPP and it probably helped to keep everyone awake instead of slowly sinking into a couch coma.
"Die at the hands of a man..." you'd have to be really dense to interpret it that way. It's not just "the hands of a man". It's the hands of her own child, flesh and blood, who she corrupted and drove to the brink of insanity because of her own selfish desire for his absolute safety.
Which also makes her willing to choose death if it gives her child peace make all the more sense. Something that was very clearly in her character from the beginning. It's not bad writing, nor is it in the manner that Abby portrayed it. You have to willfully reject what it's ACTUALLY portraying to interpret it as just "violence against a woman at the hands of a man."
The thing with RDR 2 with me is yeah, I will remember Arthur's journey a year from now, but those fond memories will also be accomplished by me remembering all the times I got annoyed at one of the absurd gameplay decisions Rockstar made. The bad stuff in RDR 2 taints my fond memories of it a lot, while with God of war, there is nothing to really taint it, both the story and gameplay were great.
