Agreed. If EVO weren't on I'd be commentating on SNS, but EVO is on. Pretty Fighter is very strong, however.

When they were mashing those light sweeps, was anybody else hearing "HU HUYAH HU HUYAH HU HUYAH"?

Oh my God, I forgot just how powerful Pretty Fighter was. It might be the best anime game the Zaibatsu has played, better than Xrd, Melty, UNIEL or AH. That Banana meta.

They should really have Pat or someone read the movelist for scrublords from now on, because learning what the hell bad developers think fighting game motions are is hilarious.

I'm expecting the game to just loving liquefy during the boss fight, like those levels in Max Payne where he's tripping balls and walking on trails of blood.

So yeah, GET HYPE, SON!

It would only be appropriate for nothing to happen and for the finale to be the wettest fart in existence.

Pat and Liam playing Driveclub, Pat proving racing games are another genre he is very not good at.

Choice quote being "I know how to drift in these kind of games" not even 5 seconds before eating poo poo and piling into a wall.

So I picked up the special edition DMC4, uh I like when I fight but there's way much more puzzle poo poo than I thought. Especially this one that required me to hunt down 3 spin-tops and manually push them to the middle of the room.

Did I just hit a bad spot in first half of the game, cause I really don't like puzzle aspects and the fights have been...sparse between too much downtime.

DMC4's combat is fantastic but expect a lot of goofy poo poo like that. Expect dice

Really? I barely remember any puzzles at all, and I have been playing it too. I couldn't even name one besides the board game thing. Even the snip top stuff is combat oriented, since you rev them up and shoot them at enemies along the way to placing them on the platforms.

Protip for the dice games: they aren't random, just smack the die when the number you want is on top.

This. It saves a lot of hassle.

I wouldn't call them 'puzzles', just gimmick progression gates. They're not fun, but usually pretty easy and short. I really wish DMC3 had a functional PC port; it's a little less robust, but has much tighter design.

Yeah some advice for fans of the podcast who don't care for when they go in deep on fighting games: probably gonna wanna skip this one, or at least a good chunk of it. They might keep it brief but there's a LOT they could talk about.

Basically the ending of Rocky 1 frame for frame complete with crying girlfriend people being swayed by one fighter and Apollo 'Momochi' Creed wondering whether he really won and slowly getting kinda bitter about it.

my test of driving games is 'can i play it drunk and have fun' and driveclub does not pass this test

its too much simulation for me. i got the feeling that they felt this way as well, so pat proves to have correct opinions again
