Pat sounds really happy whenever his crackpot theories end up being right, it's charming.  edit: Lol Matt immediately crushing his dreams with "Well if you guess 50 times you will be right twice." And Pat agrees.

Awesome game that pulls no punches.

The way it's going I'd say we're barely just gonna make it, now it needs 188,000Blockhouse posted:More than rumored. The Australian ESRB and Brazilian Ministry of Justice have both rated it. I hope the Brazilian Ministry of Justice gave it a 9/10 or something, they're the only reviewers i trust to give just scores.

I think not, so here's the thing http://imgur.com/gallery/jf1Pj Zone, Cranky and Plague all did designs for Zubaz that would fit Indivisible, and if you backed it you can email a vote to the podcast email. Personally I went with Type C, the other two just look too cool and C makes me think he's a warrior person with very few actual victories and mostly just brags, he probably bought those pants instead of slaying a tiger.

Yo, Matt, I'm seeing you, Pat, and the Beef throw down about Binary Domain on Twitter. What's your deal with the game? I know almost nothing about it, and I'm sure it'd been talked on the podcast ages ago. Think you could fill us in with a refresher on why Pat digs it and you don't?

Oh yeah Pat and Woolie are the bad kind of Berserk fans who just want Guts to be miserable and alone again "X team member/all team members should die" ugh ugh Also I have totally 180'd and now want FFX daily because Woolie's mystified reaction to everything in that stupid game is great.

pulp rag posted:Yo, Matt, I'm seeing you, Pat, and the Beef throw down about Binary Domain on Twitter. I played that game for about an hour. It felt like a stiffly controlling gears with a really pointless "encourage your team mate mechanic" where you constantly need to tell them how awesome they are. If you don't do this consistently, they will actively stop obeying your commands. I also saw plenty of bugs, wonky physics, and it was just incredibly rough. Aside from that, I have nothing else to add. It was released during a time where every Japanese company was trying to do a Gears thing, copy and pasting cover-based shooting, and adding some gimmick on top of it. When I think about all those Gear rip-offs, they just kinda meld into a gray sludge with even more crap like Inversion, Quantum Theory, Fractured, and honestly, Pat gives it WAY too much slack because it's made by the Yakuza team. I will give it that it has a bonkers story, that I would at least be interested in seeing. Just to see how insane it is. At least Vanquish actually takes cover based shooting and brings it to the next loving level, and actually feels awesome in every way. A game I think that's far more deserving of any praise and often gets overlooked. TheRealestMatt fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Dec 1, 2015 |

I think the reason why people are surprised you don't like it is because the story is basically dumb, action adventure that hits all the notes you'd like, including a sassy french robot and Troy Baker being a sassy british man constantly giving you a hard time. I don't think anyone that likes the game actually uses the voice thing. The game is relatively short. It's not inventing the Gears wheel, but it varies up the gameplay enough and doesn't overstay its welcome. edit: Baker is basically using his Pagen Minh voice.

SOMA was a really cool LP and I'm glad pat got to gush all over with his psychology stuff, it made up for all the time he spent missing very obvious things while I screamed at the screen. Only thing that bugged me was how after the ARK stinger they were all "wow the water in the stream looks so bad" after chiding simon for being such an idiot. It's a simulation! They're basically in a video game.

Imo there is no consciousness "you" carry on as in regards to being put in the Ark, because there's no actual transferring of minds in the process, which the ending goes to show pretty nicely. Simon uploads himself into the Ark, and it creates a new Simon inside it. Ark Simon retains all of the memories the Simon in the chair had when he was uploaded, but nothing after that. Meanwhile, Simon in the chair feels like nothing happened to him because nothing did happen. He basically just ctrl+c, ctrl+v-ed himself. The reason he gets mad at the end is because he had a fundamental misunderstanding of what was going to happen; he thought that his current body would be abandoned and he would exist as the clone inside the Ark because of his earlier body jumping under different circumstances. However, despite Catherine clarifying that that wasn't the case (hours ago!), he just didn't get it. Because he's a dumbass. edit: When Simon jumps into the new suit, what he perceives this as is himself being taken out of the old suit and put into the new one. Therefore, what he (and we) saw was his consciousness carrying on into the new body, i.e. he won the coin toss. Ark Simon sees that again in the post-credits scene. But in the ending, we are playing as the Simon that was jumped from instead of to for the first time, and because Simon is dumb, he doesn't understand how that can be possible.

Last time I checked, he wanted to go to Elf island to restore Casca back to the way she was. Of course there is the whole foreshadowing of what Casca wishes may not be the same as his so..yeah. This is Berserk so you know that's not gonna end well. And yeah we did hints here and there with the armor that one day Gutts will go loose and kill everyone he loves/protects. I hope it doesn't happen but then again. This. is. Berserk. Also yeah I really like the ending of Soma. Simon was a goddamn idiot though. Throwing up a tantrum and the only person he could talk to ends up short circuiting because he pissed her off. I get that he was suppose to be the player but even we picked up that transfer minds was bullshit. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Dec 1, 2015 |

I'm not really clear on what happened to simon after he was put in to the last body. He's clearly a human, but getting his arm bitten off is only a temporary problem? The health-buttholes still heal him, so maybe not though?
