I loved the Until Dawn LP. It's such a great game and Matt managing to save everyone on his first go is just incredible. I just wish they'd have given the Events of the Past another watch before the end.

I beat Undertale recently and I'm wondering, is there gonna be a problem, recording wise, when the game force-quits itself multiple times at the end?

I also hope they don't stop when they get the neutral ending.

Pat's only real problem with the game is that Undertale leans heavily on its sense of humor but he didn't find most of it funny. Or at least that's my takeaway from his podcast rant. Even between that and his hatred of the hype machine he still thought of it as a pretty good game.

It's kind of fun when Pat hates on something because it takes a half hour of backtracking and rationalizing on his part to get to his real opinion that is perfectly reasonable.

Am I the only one noticing the game audio being out of sync on this year's shitstorm videos? Something like a full second ahead of the actual video. It's a lot more noticeable in certain videos and seemingly absent in others, but it really fucks with me once I become aware of it.

I noticed it on the (Vessel) Beginner's Guide video it seemed that the sound was ahead of the video, with Liam and Woolie often reacting to things before they appeared on screen.

A game that poo poo's its narrative and thematic pants super hard right at the finish line. Because it's supposed to be the narrator telling a story about someone real (Who is obviously not but whatevs) and their experience with them and their (Hilariously wrong) interpretations of the games they make and going through just their games. But then you play a game not made by them where suddenly the narrator seems to be talking live and not as a pre-written script and also reveals that the games were all edited well ahead of time by the narrator so anything you could gleam from them is already hosed.

TGB is interesting but not very good.

What do you mean it was revealed they were all edited? I didn't see that, unless you mean the "stop adding lamp posts to my games" line which I thought was just a really obvious metaphor for "stop trying to find a solution to my life" rather than the narrator literally messing with the games.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:

The narrator literally coming clean when he makes the bridge saying he's edited the games already (The house one he's talking about there). That fact plus the fact that he constantly is jumping you ahead through a lot of the puzzles/mazes 'Code' put in makes it seem a lot more literal about lightpost thing.

The lightposts aren't coda's style, most of their games are uncomplete-able by design or at least very very very tedious to get to the end to (The game where you play with teh your eyse closed for example. The lightposts both as ideas and objects never fit anything coda designs., but here they are, at the end of every single game, even the ones you were never ever supposed to be able to 'beat'. It's why the Fortress, a game super heavy-nhandedly telling Davey to gently caress off and leave them alone features traps you'd have to cheat through, because it's a hard message to deliver, but they knew Davey would do it, do anything, to get to the end. Clear endings and focal points and reasons aren't something 'coda' ever really focused on.

Yeah you're right, I'd somehow forgotten he'd said that despite playing through the game and watching the video. I think the rest of your post is spot on too. Sorry about instantly caving in on a potentially interesting conversation.

Have Woolie and Pat do the genocide run. Let them tear down everyone and everything we know and love while Matt and Liam keep their good ending. The entire LP is Pat switching between making GBS threads on Undertale because its overhyped and then going "oh my god this is so cool" while Woolie fails maybe 300 times to beat either of the two actual fights in the run.

I hated how it basically undid all the character development he had in season 1 and then added a touch of crazy on top of that. Or at least that's the impression I got of him from episode 2, which is where (and why) I stopped playing.

Mine's still Undertale, but Ori is a good-rear end game. 2015 was a good-rear end year for good-rear end games (and announcements) of all kinds.

Ori and the Blind Forest would be one of my favorite games if it didn't lock you out of your save file after beating it. Let me go back and get 100% after I finish the story, or at least make the point of no return incredibly obvious before I pass it. I know it's a dumb thing to get upset about but it really lowered my opinion of the entire game that I couldn't go back and finish exploring/collecting poo poo.

Pat is crazy greedy about those charged hits in Bloodborne. He'd beat every boss in half as many attempts if he just took what was there with normal hits rather than charging for 3 seconds and then eating poo poo every single time.

Seriously, it's making me want to watch Naruto, and I've never even watched it before.

Stop after the timeskip, skip any episodes involving the third Hokage's grandson and/or Ebisu(?). I mean, if you want the best Naruto has to offer, rather than the worst it has to offer. Although that might be the appeal?

I honestly love this group of losers that makes up our protagonists in FFX. Half the group is literally getting bullied schoolyard style. The other half are failures for life (and Sir Auron, but I'm sure by the end of this we'll find out that Sin was his fault or something).
