At least they talk about y'all's games. I'm sitting here with Battletech, Unavowed (Edit: DIVINITY ORIGINAL SIN 2 HOW DID I FORGET YOU) and a whole lot of silence.
Have you considered cheese? No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses!

I'm mostly sad to hear them rag on the story in Spider-Man. It's definitely not perfect, and does telegraph its beats real fuckin hard, but that's sort of the point. It's the tragedy of knowing exactly what's going to happen with one specific character and waiting for the shoe to drop, and the game does a great job of it.
I also tried watching crosscode yesterday, despite already bying it. Because it's a game I wanted to see more of. Didn't finish it.
"lets try doing this puzzle for 5 minutes and quit right before finishing it because this is probably boring. Lets try killing this enemy and die a few times" and... then I kinda stopped.
To be fair, I get what he was going for, especially if he thought the Bergen Mines dungeons was heavy puizzles, which it is, but it has combat too if he'd have gone just a bit further. And the Deer and Snowmen he was fighting are WAY too strong for the point they show up in, so I can' blame him for "being bad" or anything like that. But like at least when Brad dies in a videogame (which happens a lot), he has a reaction, he gets kind of frustrated which makes it more entertaining imo. Ben is just Ben.
What's funny is that the story's arguably better than the vast majority of Spidey comics. Its not great, sure. But it does what it set out to do, and writes some real good characters in the process. Like Octavius, for example.
i'm inches away from giving up on spiderman. i haven't played it in over a week and other games are coming out so if i don't end up playing it this weekend i think that's probably a rap on spiderman.
Unfortunately, me too. I got to the part where literally weveryone and their dog has a gun. And it got... frustrating. Turning the difficulty down kind of actually makes it worse because it doesnt change gun damage, or how often they use guns, it jsut makes everythign die in 2 hts and some challenges next to impossible to complete.
I'm in a similar spot. I'm really enjoying it, but I made the mistake of waiting to do a lot of the collectible stuff until Act 3, so my last few play sessions I just did a bunch of collectible shit since I thought I wanted to do 100%. I may just mainline through the rest of it though since I do wanna see the end and just accept I won't 100% it
I don't think you're supposed to love Mae, she kinda sucks, too. Which makes it better.
Also, the writer is actually very active on Twitter and it's not too crazy to see parallels between dialogue and jokes.
It's absurdist Twitter humor, why would you expect Dan to like that
listening to the preview talk they had on the beastcast and just the fact that it's the sequel to some of their favorite game of last generation.
What does that have to do with how they will receive the full game though
Being cynical just to be cynical isn't cool
Just look at how uncritically BotW was received. Red Dead is in the same boat.
It's also better than the vast amounts of attempts at writing a coherent video game story. Spider-Man is the first earnest attempt at writing a good one and it succeeds more than fails.
Vinny sounded like he was already tempering his expectations during that preview though. I really don't think they will all rave about it even if it's bad just because Red Dead Redemption is in the title. Seems overly cynical on your part to assume this will be the case.
It was mostly a joke with a little bit of how I actually felt hidden within.
I am the real Spider-man.
What does how they much they liked it have any relation to how they'll like a completely different game? I can see a million ways in which Red Dead 2 isn't universally loved by them or anyone else. Trying to pretend we have any real insight into how that will shake out pre-release is silly.
It's very appropriate this Assassin's Creed game has the same acronym as the last one.
I don't remember the TV thread here having this subtitle. It almost seems like it's aimed as Brad and his 1080p set.

I mean we'll see but the hyperbolic way Dan and Jeff B (and every other games press) were talking about it doesn't give me much hope.
Yeah I'm sure it wont be all praise, but the way bakalar talked about how everyone experience will be different cause of the open world and how sidequests are just as good as main quests now felt hyperbolic to me.
I was really confused what was so great about Dan's story cause that sounded mostly like stuff you could do in GTA 3
I just want to go home and play Spider-Man but after work I have to go spend time with my girlfriend :/
I'm waiting for Blitz' verdict on ACO 2018 before I consider buying it.
Oh no
