their method of choosing game of the year is so mind bogglingly weird to me. it just makes such little sense.

The next season of TAZ starts January 11. The Adventure Zone vs. Dracula, back in 5E with Griffin as DM.

That sounds like it could be fun, can't wait to see how they try and pivot the story to be serious and fumble it right at the end the concept at least sounds ridiculous enough that there could be good goofs

It was a previous Adventure Zone live show. Also I really hope they aren't doing Curse of Strahd, I think it's a bad adventure in the first place and the tone is all wrong for them.

I can’t imagine they’d do Strahd given the way they’ve been doing original concepts from about midway through the Phandelin episodes in Balance.

To elaborate on my previous post regarding the besties, it came down to Zelda and BG3 which is what I expected, and hell I don't even mind the result but it is extremely funny that the final discussion came down to Griffin being the only person who actually finished both games, and ultimately that's what sunk his chances. I know BG3 is a big beefy meaty game with gameplay for days but to be so much so that only one host has actually seen its ending is big lol to me. Resident Evil 4 remake made it farther than it probably should have.

I'm not denying it's a good game, but goddamn how many times have they had to improve on the original at this point? Remakes of 2 and 3 made sense to me, remaking 4 felt more like "eh, we might as well."

I would find this a more compelling argument if Tears of the Kingdom wasnt just Breath of the Wild but with gmod tools and BG3 wasnt the same game Larian has been making for 20 years but with a name people actually paid attention to this time

The RE4 remake is a straight downgrade from the original based on ruining Ramon Salazar alone

I still love BG3, but I've never played a D&D CRPG that wasn't hindered by trying to translate the TTRPG rules into a video game.

Also calling re4 “just” a remake is dismissive at best and an outright lie at worst. It’s an almost entirely new game.

Remake games that had great ideas but weren't executed properly! "Here's a masterpiece, but again!" feels like it should be called something else!

Sounds like you need Triple Click and... Kirk Hamilton’s Remake Spectrum*:
*Note that these are stops along a continuous spectrum and not a series of discrete categorizations. Many games fall somewhere in between categories.

Time for the worst episode of every year and the only one I will skip also that they think "twenty" is pronounced "twunny" (which I assume they will continue to do) is somehow the most annoying part of the naming episodes to me Piell fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jan 1, 2024 |

Shinjobi posted:"I am acknowledging that an episode has come out, I will not listen to it and also I will assume this specifically stupid thing I hate happens in it." It seems unlikely that they will change their accents or avoid using the word twenty while looking for things that rhyme with twenty twenty four. As assumptions go this one has a low chance of making an rear end of anyone.

What always got me is they pronounce it “twenty” when they vocalize the number and not however the hell they seem to think it is in order for it to rhyme.
