Man, anime avatars poppin up like pocky at an anime con (that's short for convention for us gaijin) at the slightest of remarks that a robot marketing tool rhythm video game might be not good. I am eagerly awaiting the horse and buggy racer featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales so I can embrace American consumer culture in my luxury video game.

Perfect Potato posted:Or maybe sometimes people complain about stupid poo poo. There was a massive thousand post thread on Neogaf a few weeks ago because someone couldn't handle the lack of a pause button in Dark Souls (exiting the game takes seconds and leaves you in the exact same spot as you left it, they were literally arguing about a 5-10 second difference for everytime you go take a dump or answer the door or feed a baby or whatever). I haven't played Revengeance but not every complaint is valid or worth listening to. Funniest part about this is, if you are hollow and in a safe place it's actually beneficial just to leave the game running as you can get more estrus flasks from people lighting bonfires and no enemy will ever waltz over to attack you.

For anyone who really likes Dark Souls and Demon Souls you owe it to yourself to check out Bonfireside Chat, which is a goon made podcast about Dark Souls, then Demon Souls, the upcoming episodes will be about Berserk because of its shared DNA of the atmosphere of both games. It is a really well done podcast and usually very funny to boot. Check that poo poo ouuuut.

Hakkesshu posted:One thing Demon's Souls did better was have cooler boss loot. Beating Old King Doran and getting both his armour and Demonbrandt, which you then forge into Northern Regalia, was one of the most awesome things in that game. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Spell or boss soul weapon was another great thing thing also. Level based design is crap if it means throwing out the interconnected world. Nexus is nothing but hub world with branching spokes and it all seemed like it was disconnected. Finding meaningful shortcuts is a great feeling in dark souls and lends to progression.

Luckily those games were not Giant Bombs game of the year, although they might have been yours. Weird thing about subjective awards, I know. But, if you think about it a little it makes sense.

monoptic posted:He lucked in to that Black Knight Greataxe and Silver Knight Shield, so he's geared enough to handle anything the game throws at him at this point - including Gwyn, especially now that he's practiced parries. I wish I could've watched live to see chat's reaction to that Axe drop. He was a bit over leveled for them at 67 but using that gently caress off upgraded golem axe and power within he just crushed with damage. That poo poo took forever on my SL 20 something dickwraith. He is pretty dang good at the game. That silver knight shield is almost a gimme drop if you spend any time grinding in Anor Londo though. I was feeding those and spears and swords to toothy for ages.

TheJoker138 posted:Jeff didn't actively hate Last of Us like he does Dark Souls. He saw the merits in at the very least it's story, even if he didn't enjoy the stealth sections of the gameplay. He rightly thinks that Dark Souls is hot garbage and while I could see him allowing it on the list to placate everyone else, if it took the #1 spot I'd be loving amazed. If 4 of the 6 people love Dark Souls 2 then it will be GOTY. Unfortunately, I can't positively say Dark Souls 2 will be as good as Dark Souls or Demon Souls. The assumed everyone is always invadeable which they are teasing takes away a really cool and core player choice of more risk and more reward or less risk and less reward. PvP players are championing this as they assume the larger pool of invadees will make it less likely to get invaded when it sounds like a steady flow of assholes everytime the cool down timer is up.

cat doter posted:There's a covenant that summons people to defend you so it'll always be balanced in the favour of the invadee. Also the invasion is time so if you can avoid them long enough they'll get booted. Also their estus flask is a lot less effective. Man, all I can think of is people joining that blue phantom covenant and just spamming "Well what is it" over and over instead of helping the invadee.

I have found the most delicious fish head in this seafood processing plant trash bag = best final fantasy in the last decade. It looked clumsy, overwrought with their own video package flourishes, and the combat is muddy and busy. Imagine how much money and man power went into that game and imagine them focusing their effort onto a Final Fantasy with a job system instead of trying to catch the Lightning in a bottle that FF7 was. Pun intended.

It reads like they will no longer budget out his large scale game development any more and likely gave him more modest numbers. To stay employed he probably is transitioning the studio to smaller projects. Hence the term, winding down. Probably the only way to save a couple jobs.

You watched the Quicklook of the South Park game? You must be proud that the rest of GB are starting to think like you. When you're first arrived at GB, I tolerated you and your type of sensational journalism. But now you're turning the site into your own soapbox like something like the next Kotaku or Polygon, because you have to impose your beliefs to others. I know you used to work at horrible places like MTV and G4, but don't drag GB down the dirt & let the guys be their old selves. -someone on Patrick's tumblr who probably uses the acronym SJW as an insult Jeff Gerstmann posted:If you’re the type of person who would write something like the above question, do yourself a favor and stop watching our stuff.
