UPDATE: Part 08: Anti-Diesel Force How many cops are there in Barcelona? How many have we actually killed so far? Just how stiff and bendy are they? This and many more questions are answered in this new episode... I think.

UPDATE: Part 09: Vin Diesel Steals Romanian Porn In this episode, we steal Romanian porn. There's a lot of explosions. Also, here is the Vin Diesel D&D video I reference in the episode. RealSovietBear fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Oct 28, 2015 |

Open world driving games always seem to have you doing jobs for really annoying people like Miguel. People who do dumb things to drag you into trouble(which they blame you for) so you have to get them out of the jam they created while they nag you the entire time.. Granted, most games give you the opportunity to pay them back later but it's still an annoying trope. I'm looking forward to some real Vin Diesel diplomacy in the next episode.

Vin Diesel already was a babysitter by the way. At the very least this mission shows they knew what was fun about this game, even if went way past the point of excess. Also how did they get that truck down there in the first place without smashing everything that you smashed on your way out?

Kibayasu posted:Vin Diesel already was a babysitter by the way. I completely forgot about that movie. Probably for the better. The game seems to have a lot of filler, both in the actual missions and side missions, but sometimes they nail what's good about over-the-top vehicle mechanics. The mission in the next episode caught me completely off-guard. Quiet Python posted:Open world driving games always seem to have you doing jobs for really annoying people like Miguel.

I've never played Escape from Butcher Bay, but I probably won't do two Vin Diesel games in a row. Could do it next year though. Right now the plan is to LP Resident Evil 0 Remake and quite possibly Eat Lead after we're done with Wheelman.

Is there any context for this mission at all because the end of the last video doesn't seem to provide anything. Did we hear about this document tube before and I forgot about it beneath the flaming husks of wrecked cars?

You get an email from Adrian that says: "Milo, there's serious movement going on, the gangs are getting ready for something. I don't know what, but whatever it is, it's big." and when you start the mission form the map, it starts where Part 11 is. No cutscene or anything. There are a few missions like that with minimal context and it's confusing. It'll happen again in Part 12.

The fact he actually went and got involved with REAL street racing to help better understand his character in the original F&F, I thought that was cool too. But The last Witch Hunter? No. Not cool. This is a stupid attempt to get more money out of people who you think want to see a different side of you. If he was the writer or even just the director, I'd be okay with it. But the fact he is playing his own character makes me think this is the worst kind of self-insert fan fic.

His D&D character was probably based on the movie (the nerdist D&D session was earlier this month based on that facebook video, and the movie must certainly have been in production for months or years prior), not the other way around. Also if you think he's got anything to do with the movie beyond being an actor, I can't turn up any evidence of that with a cursory search.

Making a movie for free about your dumb D&D character is dumb. Getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars (at least) of someone else's money to play your dumb D&D character in a dumb movie is smart. Also I think that's the most bizarre iteration of stealth gameplay I've ever seen. I don't remember that at all from when I played this.

Finally, 13 episodes in and we finally have our melee weapon! It really seems like the audio's skipping more frequently in these new episodes, though. It's probably got something to do with the crashing I guess? This game really is a janky prototype of Sleeping Dogs, isn't it? Non-american city, undercover guy playing gangs against one another, insane nonsensical car physics, all it needs is better city setup and kung-fu. Kind of related to that, guns in Spain are about as legal as they are in Hong Kong. Maybe a bit more lax than the rest of the EU, though, but still nothing compared to the US. Much like in WD, realistically policemen would be all over your rear end for shooting firearms. That said, the game probably would be even better if it stuck to driving and punching the crap out of people instead of awkwardly walking past someone attempting to shoot you point-blank.

It's probably got something to do with the crashing I guess? Yeah, after the first crash, the audio just got kind of wonky and restarting the console or OBS didn't do anything about it. The next episode will also have this issue, but hopefully the batch of episodes after that is fine. I only noticed it during editing, so if I get another crash I'll just postpone recording to avoid it.

Yeah, if the game was structured over driving and they had just enemies use guns ("Milo doesn't use guns") the game would be better. It still has lots of great ideas, and thankfully Sleeping Dogs nicked a bunch. Hrvstmn31 posted:So is Gasolina Gasoline's cute sister? Yes. It's actually two female trucks kissing.

I know for a fact that both this game and Sleeping Dogs have the crazy unrealistic car-ram that causes your vehicle to suddenly jolt to the side and smash other cars. e: Of course it does! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbOo3_0p5gA One thing that really gets me about turning in the game; drifting/handbrake turns here don't really change your trajectory of movement and more or less just reangle your car while it sort of drags forward. Which is utterly counter to what you want for fast driving and taking sharp turns and to be honest I don't know if it's a mistake in how RSB's driving or if the game just doesn't have an alternative to that.

I read Sleeping Dogs and thought Watch Dogs. I'm guessing the latter doesn't have air-jacking since it's a POS and not  like Sleeping Dogs clearly is.

Why couldn't he just disguise himself he's changed clothes several times already. I mean at the very least he could cover up his drat head he's the only bald person in this city. Kinda hard to miss the sun reflecting off his dome and into your eyes.

Clearly its because he's told every criminal in Barcelona so many times that he's just a hired hand and that nothing is ever his fault they all just believe him. He's not the important part, the fact that he pulled up in a car from the other gang (which they gave him, obviously) is all the information someone needs.

On the subject of giving nerds lots of money, let me remind you about Curt Schilling, MMOs, and why he's still not welcome in Rhode Island. Basically, this game may not be that good, but at least Vin Diesel didn't bankrupt the state of Rhode Island. (Neither did Curt Schilling, to be fair, but he still left them on the hook for $75 million.)

I love the timing around 9:28, when the car explodes right as the call picks up. Like Vin Diesel detonated a carbomb with his phone just so he could have an excuse to fall forward extremely awkwardly.
