The Good Life doesn't look like it's well on the way to reach the funding goal.

It does have unique ideas:

Q. What is the game's biggest draw?

A. When night falls in this game, all of the townspeople turn into cats or dogs.

The player can also turn into a cat or a dog for one week each month (during your period) and explore the town at night. These parts will feature a completely new and fun style of gameplay.

Apparently they are doing the raid without looking up what to do first, which seems like a real bad idea for a Giant Bomb video.

They figured out a long time ago how to do it, the thing stopping them for the past few hours is shooting people and avoiding getting shot

idk about this fight, but on the other stream it took them like 4 hours to figure out the mechanics in one encounter and another couple hours to execute on them. so even if brad just explained everything to them it'd be an all day stream lmao

When they did the Destiny 2 quicklook they chose to leave one player out of the game rather than go back and play a story mission they had already beaten, which is stupid.

the Polygon blind stream of the D2 raid was pretty great/awful too when it devolved into like 2 straight hours of Griffin yelling at everyone to stop loving it up and dying long after they had figured out what they needed to do

Which is hilarious because pre release the devs were all "so a miniscule percentage of our players finished raids in Destiny 1, so we want a lot more of our players to see all the content this time around!"

The raid is fun once you learn it but that process of learning can be really not fun at times, I can imagine it would be unbearable to watch from the outside. It's also wearying to spend most of 4+ hours failing even if your job is literally being bad at video games for money.

Most players wait until the hardcore have figured it out by trial and error and written/recorded strategy guides, and even when you're being told exactly what to do it can take a while to get coordinated.

That said, the moment when everything comes together, the team fires on all cylinders, and the boss goes down is an enormous rush and worth all of it.

As someone who doesn't play MMOs the concept of raids are alien to me. It's just a community boss fight that are always bullshit and spongy because they can't balance around player skill and equipment?

Once you know what to do the raid isn't that hard at all

Also you don't have to do it at all, you can just do the Nightfall which is like 10 minutes and super fun

Or just do other stuff because it's a fun game

In an ideal world raids are supposed to be fun because they are a test of coordination and communication among a group which is a challenge you don't normally see in any other game context.

This is not an ideal world though

nah not really, for one raids are balanced around equipment cause if you don't come in with at least a certain level of gear you just get blown the gently caress up. so before they spent 20 hours streaming this thing they spent 2 weeks of their life grinding other poo poo to be "raid ready"

also in good mmos they are based around weird puzzle mechanics the group has to figure out how to solve and that's the fun part. watch a FF14 v3s vid if you wanna see a good example of that though, cause destiny raids in general and this one in particular are baby poo poo that's exclusively one group of players telling the other what buttons to push/not push
