I've seen this one before, but it's definitely real good. May be time for a rewatch. StrixNebulosa posted:Hitman: Codename 47 - a youtube LP, but a pretty decent one. I've been using it to learn more about the jankiest game in Hitman's history. Starting on this one now... interesting to see the older Hitmans, I've only ever played a couple missions of Absolution (which wasn't great) and a ton of the 2016 one (which you already know is fantastic).

The Men Drinkin' Coffee are my comedy LP troupe of choice, they have a somewhat inconsistent upload schedule but I find their material to be consistently entertaining. They just recently finished up a Watch_Dogs_2 LP and it looks like they're working on Resident Evil 7 right now.

Instead of adding Duke Nukem the Bulletstorm remaster could've added separate settings for horizontal/vertical aiming sensitivity and a way to turn off acceleration. The latter is on by default and for the former one of them is higher than the other so aiming is awful.

I read some of jim sterling's 2/10 review of yooka laylee since I think yooka laylee is coming out today and I'm excited for it and I wanted to see what he didn't like about it and drat, a lot of his complaints are things that I am just fine with and didn't see as complaint at all. It just sounds like he's not a fan of collectathon platformers in general but there were several times in his review I was just like "wait why is this a bad thing" or "but this wasn't an issue with banjo kazooie"Jim Sterling posted:It’s often hard to know where you’re going to land while jumping in a 3D space and old school level design couldn’t deal with it, with moving platforms and tricky chasms that simply refused to account for the shift in player perspective. From Mario 64 to Crash Bandicoot, there were plenty of control issues as well. Subtlety of movement wasn’t a strong suit of early 3D mascot platforms, which made navigating narrow ledges a pain. like, ok, maybe it's just me, but a lot of it comes off as whining for the sake of whining or whining about things that people were expecting and hoping the game would do such as "be a collectathon where you explore worlds to find stuff." Yeah he's just a game reviewer so I shouldn't care but his whole rant still reads just...overly nitpicky?? idk. games journalism.

Jim doesn't like the game, and he states his reasons. Those same reasons might be why you like it. Does that invalidate his point-of-view? Nope, that just shows his taste differs from yours. Then again Jim has that hyperbolic writing style that can easily exaggerate things, but I doubt he isn't sincere in his views. Basically he's the Eric Cartman of video games journalism.

I don't think anything is wrong with Jim Sterling other than he doesn't operate on the 7-10 scale most other game reviewers do. It's not like consensus opinions of Y-L have been all that stellar, he's just on the low range of scores for what is already a pretty low-reviewed title.

StrixNebulosa posted:Will do, thank you! The KO MP Starscreams have, afaik, all been terrible poorly done upscales or remolds, rather than using the CAD files directly and modifying/upscaling them that way like WeiJiang does. Rumor is that Takasa Tony KO MP's are straight up "third shift" products, I.E. made from the same molds and materials that the originals are, though the labeling on the boxes are slightly modified. For reference, here's my genuine MP's next to my KO MP's, the four on the right are real, the others are KO's(apologies for the blurry pic):  The price for the four genuine ones is about as much as ALL of the KO's cost, and they're of the same quality. The stack of five Sideswipes was about a hundred, and all of the KO's came with the exclusives and mail-order items that were often only available in Japan. And while we're diving down this deep as gently caress rabbit hole, WeiJiang also does oversized KO's(OSKO) of third-party Transformers as well, such as this Throttlebot combiner team:    Each bot is glorious, great quality, huge, fun to transform, and merge together into a nearly two foot tall combined robot mode with individually jointed fingers and ratchet joints for strength. Best of all, it's dirt loving cheap, about 120 bucks shipped from china for all six bots and the combiner parts. This dude has all the components. Chinesium is a hell of a drug. Olive Garden tonight! posted:Never seen any of their stuff, I may check it out. Telltale Batman RIDE TO HELL: RETRIBUTION(still my favorite LP they've ever done) Boxart Critique(going through long-running series's boxart such as Megaman and Castlevania, and discussing the artistry in them, putting their otherwise useless art degrees to use) Friday Night Fisticuffs(weekly show where they spend 30-60 minutes with a fighting game, sometimes good like Garou, sometimes bad like JACKIE CHAN FISTS OF FIIIIIIRE) Until Dawn Undertale The Last of Us(very good LP) Metal Wolf Chaos Spindash Quick Looks(various sonic games and Sonic Dreams Collection) Double Dragon Neon The Punisher XCOM 2 Ironman(includes the most bullshit miss in the history of games) Metroid Fusion Life is Strange Prison Break Walking Dead Season 1 Walking Dead Season 2 Wolf Among Us Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden There's a shitload more, including some massive series like the entire Demon Souls/Dark Souls/Bloodborne series which spans like 400ish episodes or so altogether(including some giant streams), and those definitely have their moments.

Those same reasons might be why you like it. Yeah, I wasn't trying to invalidate his reasoning, and I agree that there are things he complains about that I see as being intrinsic to the idea of "a new not-banjo-kazooie" game, so to me it just seemed weird to single out things like "there are items to collect that are more or less fancy keys" or "the combat isn't in-depth" or "there are moves that will help you solve puzzles to get other collectibles" or "there are minigames that get you collectibles" and it all comes off like........I dunno. I feel like his complaints don't necessarily deserve the level of outrage he's showcasing, but that's just me.

For some reason I thought taking a break from Persona 5 for a while to play Bioshock Infinite for the first time yesterday was a good idea. I've made a terrible, horrible mistake.

FirstAidKite posted:Captain Invictus, post about the aerialbots and any aerialbots figures you have  There is also the Hasbro Combiner Wars Superion/Aerialbots, which is good but not perfect, if I'm being honest. There's replacement hands/feet for them that makes them much better and more stable though. Recently Hasbro was clearing out all their Combiner Wars Generation 2 Giftset stock for almost nothing(like 80% off, 23 bucks per set) and so I bought a bunch of them and did what any sane person would do, I took four sets out and instead of giving them their four different limbs, gave each one the same four limbs of a different type, like so     Also, in addition to Superion, another great one to get is the OSKO of Feral Rex, the third party Predaking who has been KO'd since. Both the OSKO Uranos and Feral Rex are less detailed than their original counterparts(modified joints to be simpler, reduced paint apps etc) however they are half again as large(both about 1.5 feet tall, FR is considerably wider though), and also are 60-70 dollars shipped as opposed to the $400-$500 the originals cost. OSKO Feral Rex can't hold his OSKO sword up because it's the size of a shortsword to a normal human and weighs like 3 pounds by itself, but otherwise these pictures are pretty representative of him.

It's like Scorponok, back when I sold just the body I had of his that I'd gotten in a bin of random transformers, it went for like 70 bucks just for the body. But if you had all the little accessories and guns and little mini-transformer he came with, the value increased by a factor of six, because there was just so goddamn many little bits.

Sadly all my Transformers 'disappeared' one day when my mum decided I hadn't played with them for a while. I had a pretty good run of the UK Transformers comic that went the same way too.

The aerialbots are cool because they are planes I don't actually know anything about the aerialbots other than they are planes and they can combine. I wish the SRW team was able to make a transformers super robot wars game. Captain invictus, I know there is that decepticon train. Are there other train transformers, and if so, what are they Besides the knockoff thomas the tank engine ones obviously

I had a variety of Transformers but I can't recall which ones specifically, other than I was definitely able to build the original Devastator by individually buying all of the constructicons. They have since been lost to time, I have no idea where they are now.
