I'm having a crisis over Yakuza 3. I want to start it but DOOM is so soon and I know I'll drop it for a while because of that. I never dropped a Yakuza mid-game... I wonder if they would somehow lose momentum.

Yeah, I lost like 4 people but it was pretty easy to move on since Thane was the only dead one I actually gave a damn about.
I think the way BioWare dealt with the deaths was kinda lame (it seemed they just swapped them with new characters that played the same role in the storyline when needed) but still, characters die and the impact is lessened if you just save scum. In a game that's so much about the consequence of your choices it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
another thing, this Super Mario Breaking Brad has been amazing. I think it's my favorite thing on the website right now.

Man, Brad literally got the most basic attacks and the first tutorial text in FF7R wrong lol
Holding down the button is a different attack...

I lost one ME2 companion, I felt the logic was kind of bullshit (I hadn't min/maxed renegade or paragon so when Jack came on to me and I turned her down she stayed pissed) but played 3 with them gone. I do think it's better to have difficult to predict reasons for people to die than have it be very obvious, and players should live with what happens.
I think it's coming to PC and Xbox later. Might take a year, though.
Jeff acting like the bolts on Cloud's shoulder are new was weird
Then Brad getting the combat wrong
Classic Giant Bomb

Nah the worst part is Brad thinking the second bombing mission didn't exist in the original and that's how they're padding out this game. I understand the concerns of padding but yeah you gotta be accurate about this stuff.
I feel like you can forget plot points of a more than 20 year old game, but you should get the very basic attacks right lol
Can kinda forgive that as it was so long ago but at the same time if he is using it as a criticism he could have double checked before implying they are padding this out with reused environments.
with SE it'll just be a year and then it will show up out of nowhere on pc with no marketing or fanfare
Yeah I'm not even bothering watching that unfinished. You can basically write a script for Brad and Jeff stuff these days. Jeff writes shit off arbitrarily because he's decided he's too cool for it, Brad fucks up basic fundamentals and misremembers things, blah blah. They need to come up with a new bit.
I'll play it, I'm sure, but I can't help but be disappointed that they didn't really remake FF7. I know that style of JRPG has fallen out of favor or whatever but I don't know
Do they have someone on staff that did like FF7 or even play FF7? Seems everyone always talks about how they never got into it/played it whenever it comes up.
I guess the staff is either too old or too young for prime original FF7 hype. That game was gigantic when I was a teen, I don't think we even knew the Final Fantasy franchise before that it. They usually talk about it like "one of those", same just happened on 8-4 where they are also a bit older, kinda interesting.
They totally thought about who they should match with which social media platform, didn't they?I would subscribe to Barret's youtube channel
Welp, Alex is gonna slam me on the next Beastcast. I live in FL.
Aerith's Twitter is nothing but Bernie memes.I would subscribe to Barret's youtube channel
valorant looks like it could be neat but on my sliding scale of
(goofy, approachable, easy for anyone to pick up and play at varying levels)——1*———————2*———————3*——(serious, communication required, high mechanical skill required)
1 = games like splatoon
2 = games like tf2 and overwatch
3 = games like csgo and siege (perceived)
I feel it's gonna be too far on the right for my tastes

Brad is still bitter over square shoving nintendo in the dirt and releasing ffvii on sony's (who?? the walkman people???) console
I've been seeing tweets of people not being super into the demo but not really explaining why. What's the issue? Is the combat bad? The movement feels unpolished? What's wrong
Giant Bomb can be knowledgeable about the games they play. I could listen to Jeff talk about old games for hours.
You can't even know if he's saying the truth about Atari games, he could be making it all up. No way of knowing.
Played through the FFVIIR demo twice and it's the most excited i've been about modern Final Fantasy. To me, it seems like the combat is finally the right mix of turn-based and real-time Square has been chasing for awhile now. I can see complaints with it though, there's no reason the Scorpion boss fight needs to be that long.
The combat really feels like a slog to me so far and a lot less intuitive than just picking commands from a menu and I can't put my finger on why but the game kinda lacks atmosphere for me. It just feels barren.
