If SR2 didn't have a garbage PC port, it'd probably have better reception or at least a cult following after its passing.

Not having "Professional equipment" I.E. having a decent mic and learning how to filter through a program is no excuse honestly. It's so incredibly cheap to sound decent unless your budget is less than 100 bucks.

But I just can't take all the inside baseball because it all makes me so disgusted. I'm not really sure what Giantbomb was before Ryan's death, but GB podcasts are usually an hour of them what they played, news, and e-mails. It rarely goes into like what a game is in super technical detail unless they have a guest on like Dave Lang who basically has PTSD flashbacks whenever they talk about the PS3.

Bobulus posted:I think Brad mentioned that, since taking over podcast hosting, he's been doing the editing, too, and he spends time editing out Ums and Ahs and various pauses. That would be a lot more more of a pain in a video podcast. That's loving nuts. I used to do that, and it made me quit editing because it's so tedious to listen for something 3 times as long as the actual podcasst at times.

Zombies' Downfall posted:If Twin Peaks had never existed everybody would be talking about how Deadly Premonition was such a wacky Japanese take on America. It's the exact kind of exaggerated pastiche that people usually love when it's about other peoples' culture, it just happens to have been made by Americans. Thankfully Swery came out with another game, this time on "his take" on the Boston-New York beef...which I'm told is accurate but not accurate for the reasons he probably thinks.

I mean, the biggest innovation in FPS these days are reusing ideas from 20 years ago (the whole mobility stuff in Titanfall and Advanced Warfare) and the response is like the whole genre got reinvigorated or something. There are games that don't cost 60 at launch you should maybe look at, maybe

Just to inform your Idle Thumb conversation about fighting games, just about all fighting games have balance patches, including Street Fighter. Every iteration (Super-AE-Ultra) are balance changes along with new content. Characters change all the time with frame data and/or new moves. Smash Brawl was the last fighting game that wasn't getting any patches period.

Well if you want a specific example, Street Fighter 4 AE edition got a huge balance patch that was called 2012 that wasn't a new iteration. I'm not familiar with Dota balance changes, but the Smash 4 changes recently seem to fall in line with other fighting games, like taking out glitches (Yoshi teleport, Item lag cancel), strength changes (changing Luma's recovery from 8 to 13 seconds), frame changes (characters like Wii Fit trainer increases 10 frames landing after an air dodge), etc. And just in case you mention Smash again, tournaments do want to use Custom moves but the lack of a master memory system to transfer custom moves to multiple systems is big reason why they're not standard yet.

I didn't learn about mortgages until I was about to discharge from the military, and that was optional thing to take. Especially when you're a free roamer like Dan who's always lived in apartments, there's nothing that actually points you to stuff like mortgages being a common thing in life.

Considering Giant Bomb and Gamespot are interchangable since they crossover so much, there's really two females that can regularly get in their works. Mary Kish has been in a lot of streams and premium podcasts/videos, and I assume Alexia Cor Ray is going to join in at some point since she's had plenty of podcast time with Patrick and Alex.

Jeff is a funny man that just happens to the boss of a video game show. Brad is their designated Moba guy, the rest have a pretty good variance on their tastes of genres and are willing to open up if there's a specific game of that genre, I.E. Hearthstone for card games, etc.

Giantbomb is not a website about game opinions, it's a site about comedians that happen to really like games and they highly preach going to sites that agree with a person's opinions instead of hoping they turn their opinion to a specific person's. Except Dan Ryckert. He is a weapon of destruction that should be appeased because he will destroy the world if games didn't exist.

There's a fine line between being dumb and being inexperienced. A lot of things that Dan is "dumb" about are things he's never been exposed to, like mortgages and most food. He's pretty open about learning things, but sometimes he does the Ironic Guy bit a too much like calling transformers a show for children while under the same breath talking about GI Joe storylines for half an hour.

I enjoyed all but 1 hour of the GOTY podcast, it was only really the Destiny stuff at the end when it stopped being a 9 man conversation and just Brad vs. the world. The Vinny/Alex dynamic throughout was fantastic, especially when talking about Shitbot and bringing up Police. Enforcer. Crime. Action.

Final Fantasy 13 was a huge deal, I think you guys are letting the whole 13 universe and years of hindsight dull the impact of that game's expectations. Keep in mind it was partly a huge deal because it was the first time ever Microsoft got a Final Fantasy game on the console (4 discs, though). Also, you might be mixing up two Xbox Rpgs. Blue Dragon was made by the Dragon Quest guys, Lost Odyssey was the FF guys.

DoubleCakes posted:I love Persona 4 but I can't see the WOFF guys playing through it without getting frustrated. It is long. Like, one of the longest JRPGs I have ever played. Persona 4 is a long rpg, but well-paced for its content and story. I mean if we were cruel, we could suggest Suikoden IV or V, the latter which probably has the slowest build-up in the history of games.

bobservo posted:Yeah, I would definitely play Persona 4 first if you've never approached the series, but it's a beefy-rear end game. I wasn't poopsocking by any means, but I'm pretty sure I clocked in at just over 100 hours on the PS2 version--no idea how much the expanded content on the Vita adds to that. It's a give and take. They added another main character, an extra dungeon, and about 4 more activities but it's probably evened out by all the hours you save from not reset-scumming for skills since they made it pick-and-plop. It's also graphically superior by a big margin outside of playing the original on an emulator.
