I find it hilarious when people say they despise TotalBiscuit. It's kind of like the video-game podcast equivalent of kid's in the 90's saying it was uncool to support Manchester United.

I remember that Metroid Prime episode of WoFF being the first one I strongly disagreed with, then I went back and tried to re-play Metroid Prime, that game has not aged well.

Giant Bomb has been doing a lot of great features recently, Metal Gear Scanlon, The Old Games Show, Mario Party, Alt+F1 and the GBeast grew being able to contribute consistent video content have made things a blast. I didn't manage to catch the Big Live Live Show, 8 hours of content is a bit of a wall to get through till the weekend but it'll prolly be good even for background noise. Unprofessional Fridays has been so inconsistent these days though, the last one I remember really enjoying had the sky-diving/free-falling game Drew played and the disco themed neon coloured first person shooter with the ball you had to catch, they are never bad it's just it's not uncommon for Drew to bring a less interesting game to the table and it's almost always the first or second game shown

The design goal of Zone of the Enders was to have a game that people would rush to buy regardless of the content because of the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo handily housed in the case.

Tae posted:90 percent of media is trash I hear this quote pop up a lot and it's a horribly "superior-alistic" soundbyte. I've always felt that it's a "cream rises to the top" kind of situation, the percentage is a useless number so the expression would better be stated as "a small minority of media is worth consumption". Unless it's anime in which case "majority=gargabe" sounds pretty reasonable.

al-azad posted:Thousand Year Door is near perfection please find the nearest cliff to leap off. Hahaha. No it's not you loving crazy person. If you said "Thousand Year Door is a good video game" I'd just nod, say all opinions are valid and back away without breaking eye contact but to call that game "near perfection" ? Like in all seriousness, can we swap lives because the kind of upbringing that causes someone to lavish that much praise on an utterly mediocre and child friendly Nintendo wank-fest must find joy and delight in staring at a pavement.

If we are pretending 11 year old reviews are applicable today we might as well all just give in and hail Metal Gear Solid as the greatest videogame ever made, past and future.

Idle Thumbs is alright, I had a wee jibe at Chris Remo once on twitter about how he had time to play Halo 4 on Legendary while instantly skipping the cut-scenes and he responded in a thoroughly intelligent manner. Though, much like Idle Thumbs the pocast, it could have been summed up without sounding so pretentious. Not that I am having a go or anything, it's just I listen to Idle Thumbs and it's very apparent the hosts are leagues more booksmart than me which somewhat dampens my ability to relate to them. But hey, at least it's on the same webpage as Esports Today.

Solemn Sloth posted:I was listening to...idle thumbs? This week, and they all hated Mario 64 and thus I don't think I can trust any of their opinions ever again It's an understandable opinion, if you didn't play it at the time and your first exposure is the DS remake then it's more than likely you've played more evolved games since. Personally, I think it's an alright game that I've never got more than halfway done with, I feel the exact same way with Super Mario World though and as with SM64 I didn't play that until a good decade after its release. edit: But yeah, to say you "hate" any Super Mario game is just being a jerk. (unless it's Paper Mario, that game is straight up dumb)

END ME SCOOB posted:It's the aptly-named Screaming Idiot, so yes, you were well warned already. I can side with you here END ME SCOOB becuase your feelings about Undertale are the exact same feelings I have with Metal Gear 5 The Phantom Pain. Everyone is running around saying "this gameplay is so revolutionary", "this is the greatest game ever never mind the game of the year", "the defining end of the Metal Gear franchise" and I'm just left standing over in the corner saying "it's alright but it's a terrible Metal Gear game and I was bored 10 hours through". And you sort of stand there going "am I just broken here? is everyone else right and I'm just wrong?" and you look around for similar viewpoints to validate your own beliefs and in the end you are left scratching your head thinking "why is this game not clicking with me?".

Have you played Destiny Invictus? I went in with super low expectations and I'm having a blast with it. Undertale I just know I'm going to have unreasonable expectations of revolution when I get round to playing it and that's never fair.

Good point Jippa. I feel with media that I'm stuck in this awkward catch 22 where I don't want to invest time in a new media piece unless it's getting high critical acclaim but that critical acclaim itself makes me cast a doubtful eye over it. It's pretty dumb but it's the nature of modern life with our surplus of media to consume and our shortfall of free time in which to consume it.

Captain Invictus posted:I don't like tony hawk, sports games, resident evil, silent hill, fighting games, call of duty, etc Tony Hawk was incredible when it was on the PS2, it's been in decline since, sports games are terrible unless you are playing with a friend, same with fighting games, Call of Duty was revolutionary 7 years ago but isn't now and Silent Hill has always been garbage. There Invictus. I fixed you!

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Counter point, gently caress you. If you like Paper Mario, I'm not going to argue with you since thats dumb. Instead I'm going to state that its one of the very few games that I have sold on due to how much of a distaste it caused me. I'm pretty sure the only other games in that category are Saints Row 3 since I got it cheap on a PC sale after buying it on xbox and A-Train Simulator because it's inhospitably bad.

Okami might be one of the best zelda likes in the past decade but it forced me to watch a 15 minute long unskippable cut scene right at the start so I'll never know.

al-azad posted:Speaking of Wind Waker, the 3D Zelda's love of intricate openings and beginning tutorial sections is another annoyance on the list. I don't know how anyone looked at Wind Waker and thought "forcing the player through this gigantic stealth dungeon first thing" was a good idea. That never bothered me in Wind Waker as much as the forced text boxes everytime you picked up a Rupee.

Yup, sure is mighty interesting to talk about those cul-de-sac sized levels or that exquisite level design of dying as soon as you make contact with a body of water. Ah, who am I to argue, they'll squeeze a good 25 minutes out of the Cradle alone.

Dragon Quest 8 is insanely charming, I didn't get more than a dozen hours in but I can easily blame that on having hooked up my decade old ps2 in a cold attic  Would love to give that game a fair crack in hand-held form.

I'm happy for people that enjoyed Fallout 4 but I knew as soon as footage for that game was available that it would be an upgraded and slightly tepid Fallout 3. That's not surprising, the surprising thing is that the fans of the series are happy thats exactly what they got. Fallout 4 sold more copies than Super Mario 64, that's both hosed up and frightening.
