So after the Avalon stream ended the Giant Bomb secret video went up.

http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/giant-bomb-vs-a-roller-coaster/2300-9529/

One day Dan Rykert will ride off into legends, leaving us all to wonder if he ever existed at all.

>>190624
I can't believe he got Jeff to do that. Ryckert's powers of persuasion are not meant for human hands.

>Woolie on the Co-Optional podcast
>No debate with Jesse Cox about David Cage

I'm kind of disappointed.

//youtube.com/watch?v=_shm7z3BMlU

>Not really feeling Guacamelee because of all the Mexican jokes.
>Decide wait for the new Shitstorm.
>It's about bugs and I'm eating dinner.

Guess I'll give Woolie and Liam another shot.

>because of all the Mexican jokes

As in...racist stereotypes? Given SomecallmeJohnny's review, I kinda assumed it was rich in culture and artstyle and whatnot.

>>190742
wait this is the LP thread

disregard, i suck dicks

>>190743
No worries. I should have been clearer.

It really cannot be said enough how tightly designed Guacamelee is as a game, and all this stuff they seem to have added in the STCE looks great too. I doubt they fixed the endgame stuff that ultimately stopped me from finishing the game but still, rad game, look forward to whatever else the devs make.

I kind of wish they'd take the Rule of Rose save they made for this years Shitstorm and do a full LP. Both the game and the commentary have been pretty interesting so far.

I love his solo reviews and while this was good, nothing will beat last years My Hairiest Adventure

The ending of the Korra QL sure is special.

>>190899
Oh wow. You weren't kidding. The heartbreak was palpable.

>>190899
Still don't really get what they are measuring the game by when they call it bad.

>>190906
It's not great by any means, it basically skates by on how cheap it is.

But more importantly:

I hope, when Woolie is playing the Dark Souls II DLC and runs into the gang of invaders all in the mad warrior (ie Predator) set, they kill him and he yells out "I'm one of you!"

In which Pat is the biggest baby ever.

>>190967
But that isn't the latest Dark Souls 2 video.

>>190969
The latest DS2 vid just makes both of them sound burned out on the game. I'd rather they switched off with Liam trying to guide Matt just to see what would happen.

Ahaha oh shit Pork Lift and Wateyad's The Last Story Frown Precure thread is back and it's just as amazing as ever. I remember naked Zale but totally forgot about all the ridiculous bullshit they put on everyone else, like that insane Ornstein set they stuck Dagran in.

Also Syrenne remains the absolute best girl of all JRPGs.

>>190970
Except that would be pretty fucking stupid since they would be basically starting the entire game again, and when they played it they missed the Maiden and never even got any Estus so they'd be doing far worse if thats any indication.

Woolie is just burned out on that segment of the DLC and Pat is commentating on the negative aspects of this one section, that its the worst particular part of the game. Woolie was also exhausted the last couple of videos from not sleeping which has loaded him with salt. You are overreacting.

>>190974
>Frown Precure
I know that's probably an in joke of that LP, but you totally got my attention Rodyle.

>>190977
I suppose I should have elaborated; Matt would go through the DLC with Liam's character. They would botch everything spectacularly but in a new area - everyone wins! Unless you want gud gameplay. You might want to switch channels in that case.

//youtube.com/watch?v=S4Ncr4ol--s
Oh wow, that game looks pretty intense!

>>190984
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3671249

This LP has convinced me that The Last Story is the game that should have gotten the attention that instead rained down on Xenoblade. Well maybe Pandora's Tower was also good. That was the other project Rainfall one I think? Well I guess I can't speak to the gameplay too much, like Xenoblade it has a lot of that MMO aggro-management shit that I hate JRPGs for picking up, but it seems like it makes up for it with dumb bullshit like the Prank Bananas.

In any case the real star of the LP is the absolute childlike wonder that Porklift and Apples derive from playing dressup.

Oh wow. An Xbone game that's actually interesting.

>>191147
Xbone has had consistently better and more interesting games than PS4 so far. I still won't ever get one, because of Microsoft's business tactics. I know they've taken most of them back, but just the fact that they tried in the first place is enough for me to lose any goodwill towards them.

>>191151
>Hey its a XBONE price cut
>Because they stopped bundling the Kinect

boo

Man, I hope the let's play gets more people to pick up D4 so they continue making Episodes because this shit is bananas.

Xbone non-owners who still want to pay their LP movie ticket to SWERY can buy D4 on the XBLA website.

Damn, D4 has a really fucking good soundtrack. Not even in the DP sense of quirky songs that eventually grow on you, it's seriously way better than most AAA titles.

>>191162
Games like that should get a larger reception. I'm glad they are playing it in hopes of boosting its appeal. Maybe get some more of the madness that is SWERY.

//youtube.com/watch?v=R1nJIk86GEo
Jesus christ this is the game that just keeps on giving. REALLY hope more people are gonna buy it after this. I just hope there's enough content in it that LPing it isn't going to ruin the surprise for people considering how minimal the player interaction seems to be.

As an actual Bostonian I just want to say a game produced by a Japanese company is the last place I thought I'd ever find a reference to the Dropkick Murphys. Also those accents are equally atrocious and hilarious.

>>191187
Makes me wish SWERY had done Two Souls.

I'm not the only guy who thinks D4 looks a hell of a lot like Guise of the Wolf am I? Even the main guy looks kinda like Bigby.

>>191162
I'm surprised neither this or Deadly Premonition have gotten slammed with copyright infringement lawsuits over their music considering Metal Gear Solid got sued and lost over way less. Probably because these series are so niche that nobody cares.

>>191214
>Homophobic
...There's not even any gay characters in it. Or is that the problem?

>>191214
IS it racist, homophobic and misogynist?

>>191219
D4 is awesome you should check it out.

>>191220
...
Doesn't answer my question.

>>191222
Its Japanese, those concepts aren't the same for them.

>>191222
It is not any of those things.

>>191218
There's the fashion designer but he's in love with his female mannequin or something. I'm pretty sure he's just a joke about general campness and overly pretentious fashion designers in general, not gay.

>>191225
It's where friendships go to die.

>>191236

Correction: Mario Party is where bad friendships go to die.

Mario Kart 8 is where the best friendships go to die.

>>191219
You'd really have to reach to find anything particularly offensive in D4. I mean Deadly Premonition was way worse about it because of that one guy and his plot twist, but even then a lot of the people who did have problems with it changed their opinions by the ending anyway and thought it canceled out or at least realized the circumstances were too complicated to just chalk up to SWERY being homophobic.

>>191238

Anyone can be offended by anything, if you believe in yourself and try hard enough.

>>191288
I've heard it's either a RE4 rehash or a more mediocre RE4 with a pretentious spooky plot.

>>191290
Kinda. It's basically RE4 if they stayed with the Hooked Man incarnation and made the main character as boring as possible. At least Arthur-kun from Inception is kinda cool though.

>>191289
It's turning into Killer7, but way less pretensious and more indulgently self-aware of just how goofy it is.

While I've seen more than enough people who 100% legit think this way, pretty sure this one is a false flag. There were several posts on /v/ exactly about pulling this. If it ropes in morons extreme enough to agree with it, then that's another story.

As an aside, would you be interested in getting some... actual channel art?

Woolie lames it out twice, Rainbow Cruise continues to be the worst stage, and none of the Zaibatsu pick Jigglypuff.

>>191433
Sure I would, but I don't really have the artistic know-how to make decent channel art. That's why I tried to play it for laughs.

Now, if you're offering to make some, then yeah I'd be very interested.

>>191459
>Now, if you're offering to make some, then yeah I'd be very interested.

Well, sure. I can't imagine it'd be too time-consuming. Maybe I could do a proof of concept and from there we can see...
How 'bout you shoot me an email?

As a fan of Tales games I'd normally agree, but fuck Liam.

That reminds me. Did they ever get all of what's her names souls? Because I'm pretty sure they missed one.

Skimming through the SBFP thread on SA, I learned that the incendiary bolts are a pre-order bonus. If Pat hadn't pre-ordered, that spider-woman fight would have been an entire episode.

Final ep of The Evil Within and nothing is explained.

Metal Gear Scanlon is about to jump headfirst into the screaming void of madness that is the MGS2 endgame. I can't wait to see Drew react to that shit.

>>192251
Am I the only one who thinks The Evil Within still looks like a pretty decent game, despite all the glaring gameplay flaws that were on show and the surprises spoiled for me? There's a lot of really neat showpieces and some aspects of the game do seem fun if flawed. I still wouldn't buy it at full price though. But it seems like it had a lot of untapped promise and if they ever make a sequel I might actually be excited for it.

>>192275
I liked it. DLC might be the only thing close to a sequel we get. It that I mean that the DLC explains everything leaving no room for a sequel.

>>192275
It's definitely got some things going for it and the mid-game seems pretty pretty fun. The main reason I'm unlikely to buy it, even on sale, is because the PC version will probably still be bugged to hell even when they stop patching it.

//youtube.com/watch?v=7_DJMDFv33c

Angry Pat used to be funny, over time he's just kept taking it so over the top that it's now annoying as fuck. TWD Season 2 was ruined because of it, though I'm amazed he didn't pull it out for The Evil Within where he'd have more reason to be salty.

>>192302
Yeah, and I felt their run on TWD S1 was good!

I do like the fact that they like Sarah, though. So many people giving her shit just made me feel bad.

>>192301
I think they S2 wasn't satisfying for them in general and that sort of compounded their hate of Kenny.

My friend has never played a FF game, or indeed any JRPG really, so I thought this would be funny.
