How was that gonna work? Someone remind me, did they even make it to that goal? I don't even know why that would be a stretch goal for any reason other than they want to scam money (more money so people could....pay them money to use their studio??). I can't even remember how that goal was spun as being something beneficial for anyone but them. Tracula posted:I'm curious, were you the first one to really expose just how lovely Doug and the runners of CA are? I mean there was I think honestly the people that talked about it before were sort of lovely liars to begin with and no one really took them seriously (ie LordKat and Aussie Guy). Maybe some smaller folks mentioned some of the things they did, but they weren't big enough names to get much attention, or involved enough with internal politics to know just how deep the rabbit hole goes. I mean honestly no one still on the site has talked or will talk about this stuff because Michaud will absolutely strong arm them into kicking them out. And if someone is let go from the site, it's easy to just lump them into being bitter and only talking about it because they're gone. But unless you're big enough that they can't like Lewis, if you so much as complain to them you're gone.

Asuron posted:Mathewmattosis explains why this is a bad idea in one of his Mario Galaxy videos, but that's not a really good idea. It's really insulting to the player and puts them off playing more rather than keep them interested. I don't think the "make things easier by dying" concept is inherently insulting or discouraging if you do it right, and I feel like the context is fundamentally different in a game where you're fully expected to die ad nauseum (and the game, or at least some NPCs, already look down on you to boot). Truthfully, I'm thinking less of DMC1's brutal "Congratulations, you unlocked easy mode. Switch now?  " on death and more like Left4Dead's AI Director silently dropping some extra medkits when it knows you're suffering. So maybe instead of the bonfire pity party thing, you can sometimes stumble across Solaire in need of rescue. Rather than having an NPC kick the player while they're down, the player gets to see that even Solaire is having trouble with the perils of the Undead Burg and feel a bit better about their own struggle. Then you can have some jolly cooperation for a short time before he reverts back to his world again.As for the multiple enemies, I really meant it in a much broader sense than swarms of crazed undead. Though with someone for whom the game hasn't fully clicked yet, I can absolutely imagine a mob of 4 them in close quarters not being wildly different in practice than a mob of 6. Ultimately, I was thinking more about stuff like the rooftop bombers just outside the Burg bonfire or the pair of crossbowmen on the bridge over the pig. Removing them entirely would rob the encounters of their intended trickiness while cutting their numbers in half would mostly increase the room for error while still keeping the player on their toes. Similar minor cuts to otherwise generic spawns (ie, just the ones that stand around in plain view waiting for you to show up) would be fine, I think. Like I said though, they're all just random spitball ideas. I'm definitely more on the side of protecting DS' overall challenge, but I also don't think that it's so fragile that any minor tweak to its accessibility (and mainly targeted at the early game at that) would destroy the Official Dark Souls Experience.

Like many other things, Resident Evil 4 did difficulty best by increasing the difficulty the better you played, and dying lowered it. And not telling anyone such a system even existed.

Augus posted:and Jim Sterling talked about Star Fox stuff Son of a bitch, Jim took an idea I had a long time ago: What happens if I put in multiple content that gets claimed and the entire video 100% monetized? Konami infrequently claims my MGSV videos, I wanna see what happens if I set Mario music to my chopper's arrival music. E: Like does it get evenly split? Can I make it completely not worth the time by putting so much "We claim your video period" content in a video that they're getting percentages of a penny in revenue?

I think the first claimant gets all of the money and locks out other people from saying its theirs for dosh?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMidHqWGQAM And I'm loathe to mention him but loving christ. Total Biscuit did a 2-3 hour long podcast and used an official 30 second long trailer trailer for Pokemon X/Y during it and because of reasons Nintendo got to make literally all the money off of it.

Coincidentally, Campster also made a video discussing Dark Souls difficulty uploaded less than a day after GMT did his. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55dc8DGAM1s Also, kaptainkristian made a video about the costumes and their colors colors in X-Men https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BXP5XAkPt4

Allison, I'm just going to come out and ask this. Where did Phelous get that Krang doll? I think I've asked him in the comment section of every website he's been to. Is it a secret? Also, do you post in any other threads on SA or do you have a secret civilian side-account that's not associated with your online persona?

Jim Sterling just chewed out Star Fox Zero with his review. I feel like I'm the only sane person left on the planet, because everyone's complaining about how awful the motion controls are, but I when I played it I thought it played fine. Aiming felt like it did in Splatoon, which everyone - myself included - seemed to like just fine.

I'd also like to thank you for finally getting me to sever ties with Firefox and migrate to Chrome, HBG. I kept meaning to do it but the possibility of no longer being bombarded by recommendations for assholes after watching your videos was the final tipping point.

I mean, yeah Star Fox kinda became Nintendo's answer to Sonic in terms of questionable decisions with the franchise, but I don't think it's so far gone that it'd be an automatic pass ITYOOL 2016 as a whole.

Even as a Nintendo fangirl, I thought Jim was right on their need to innovate. I love that Nintendo is always willing to take risks with design, but not everything has to be something that changes how games work. Not everything need some new shines gimmick.

My issue with star fox is that there is no option for turning it off, Nintendo have been relativity good with having the option for normal controls in their higher profile games like Mario Kart or splatoon. i feel like you could of turned no a system to play it like SF64, there be more positive buzz about the game.

Lloyd might be the best show Brad has done, aside from the Cinema Snob and 80s Dan. Speaking of which, I hope he does more 80s Dan, it's been years since the last episode, and they were great fun. He turned a one off joke character into a really funny and charming show.
