Orv posted:They generally talk about games they like over three or four different Bombcasts, but they're usually more open about them on there. The question is do you agree with the guy who is bad at games, the guy who hates all games, the guy who just likes sims, or the guy who has terrible opinions for everything?

What happened to Vinny? Did he die, too?Airfoil posted:I give them a ton of credit for hiring an actor to play a ridiculous character rather than an actual editor. Impressively subversive commentary on the state of game journalism, really. I had no idea I was so out of the loop.

Vinny lives in New York and runs the East coast content with Alex. He's perfectly fine, I think people just want him on the bombcast for Witcher talk. Would have been nice to hear him talk about Bloodborne on the bombcast as well. Also Dan Ryckert is a national treasure

Airfoil posted:GB barely does reviews anymore. Like everyone else, they're moving to a world of "here, click on this video of us playing the game for 45 mins." Orv posted:Vinny went back to New York and is now doomed to an eternity of Castlevania 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9d1_8M0uA4 Dan nor Jason can and never will be Ryan. Nobody can be Ryan. But they're fantastic additions, I just wish Vinny was still with the main crew, but him and Alex have put out some awesome content as of late. I really hope Vinny and Alex do the QL for Witcher 3.

Captain Invictus posted:They kind of pioneered that sort of thing, though. Totalbiscuit, Super Best Friends, and I'm sure others have directly stated they've been influenced by GB's methods. That was the best part of BLLS!L aside from the nacho cheese tasting, hands down. I do absolutely like Dan and Jason but some of the gaps in Dan's existence as a human being in the 21st century are super puzzling.

I can't believe Wild Hunt is only 27 GB. Seems awfully small for a big, modern, open world game. It's not a bad thing. just suprising. Thought it would have been 40+ GB like most games nowadays.

Max Payne 3 was among the worst offenders. 35Gb, 8 of which were poorly compressed unskippable pre-rendered cutscenes that could have mostly been handled in real-time. At least GTAV doesn't have any of those so it's theoretically 65Gb of gameplay. From my time with it that's pretty much the case.

Jesus Christ, uncompressed things are usually only noticeable by the spergiest spergs and the rest of us can benefit from our 20Gb back. Take a look at the Shadow of Mordor comparisons between the uncompressed DLC and the default highest. There's next to no difference. At least that game made that stupid poo poo optional for idiots. All I can think of is that hilarious Tumblr that links/quotes reviews of audiophile products. "wathifi" or something like that.

You could try using the GOG Downloader instead and move it where ever you want it until you're ready to install.

GB are bros I love to watch play games and hang out and listen to them talk about games. I never take their word as law and it's mostly like being back in college hearing someone say the term, "Dude this game is dope!" Taking Giant Bomb seriously is incorrect. I highly enjoy the special star child that is Dan Ryckert and I (am apparently in the minority that) enjoyed Patrick Klepick. His articles were well written but again, if you're taking Giant Bomb seriously, you're taking it too seriously. It's weird that he moved on to Kotaku though, the site that brought you such quality as, "Even though we were both cheating on each other him letting my non-hardcore character die in Diablo III was what ended our marriage!" but in a way it's kind of fitting I guess.

I just wanna watch Vinny play and enjoy the game. His exuberance for things he loves is my favorite. I sent him some translated Witcher short stories a few years ago, got me mentioned on the Bombcast.

Vinny loves open world games because he literally always picks the worst/dumbest things to do because gently caress you it's an open world let's see how dumb we can get, Dan and Jeff could be fun on it but this is totally a Vinny quick look yea.

Will the PC version have a default controller configuration if you want to use one? Like, can it automatically detect my 360 gamepad and change all the key bindings as though I were playing the console version?

So like if you're playing on the gamepad but want to roll on keyboard and mouse instead for a little bit, it'll work without having to enter options and update button prompts and vice versa.

The first game I remember doing this was Just Cause 2. If bottom prompts were on the screen they would fade away and be replaced by the ones for your controller. It's too bad drivers don't include button pictures that games can get them from, instead of putting BUTTON 1 when it's not a 360 controller.

It shouldn't even be a question that this is supported, but just look at Dragon Age: Inquisition. What's that? Your controller temporarily dropped out? Well the mouse and keyboard aren't going to work since you booted up with the controller setting enabled, and reconnecting the controller won't work since it has to be registered on bootup to work. Ughh.

Holy gently caress me, fighting 6 celandine (or whatever) harpies plus a harpy queen is pretty loving tough. I'm getting murdered. I have +15 armor and gently caress tons of potions and this loving game still murders me in three hits.
