Jeff really gets hung up on the dumbest things sometimes.

I tend to agree. Often times little things in games that I find totally benign seem to ruin the experience for Jeff. Such is the nature of opinions, of course, but I've noticed it more with Jeff.

Keifer's dollars per line must be very high.

Here is my take on GZ:
Every Kojima game so far had horrible and cringeworthy writing. Seriously. But it always seemed to fit cause the MGS universe is so damn stupid. The bad writing and insane things that happened felt like such a sharp contrast to the times the game pretended to be serious that it almost always worked somehow, in an insane way.

GZ just seemed waaaaaaaay too serious so the horrible writing stood out way more despite fitting the tone of the game more than in previous games. I don't even know how this is possible.
I hope PP will be a lot sillier otherwise I don't know if I can take Kojima's pseudo philosophical garbage.

 

[alr1ght]

The less I have to hear Kiefer the better. Everything else looks phenomenal, even as someone who usually hates open world games.

I think it will still be silly. We did have a trailer dedicated to the cardboard box after all.

I'm disappointed the new Sonic Boom game is on 3DS. That means we won't get a QL of it.

 

[mnz]

But they do 3DS QLs all the time

 

[tchocky]

So this could be weird, The Nokia Theater is being rebranded as The Microsoft Theater so at E3, Nintendo will be holding the return of The Nintendo World Championships at The Microsoft Theater.

 

[MG310]

It seems like they are going to try to balance out the more serious narrative by letting you get into as much dumb fun as possible while you are out in the field.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

But they do 3DS QLs all the time

But only of interesting games.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Ack nvm

 

[daydream]

the first thing i thought of was fire 'n ice for the nes

the second thing i thought of was fire and ice for the amiga

the third thing i thought of was a dump truck

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Still the only Sonic Boom that matters.

 

[Teddified]

Just waiting for the next Sonic Boom 3DS Dance Party!

YES. Someone posted this. I have to admit the track is mesmerising.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

MGSV sounds like Gerstmanns game, it sounds so damn stupid and silly.

Spoiler

You get to skate around the sand on a robot.

Jeff hates the odd numbered MGS games.

Technically this is the 6th MGS game if you're counting Peace Walker

it all works out

 

[TheMrPliskin]

It doesn't have a number therefore it doesn't count.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

yes it does

it totally does

it makes perfectly perfect sense

 

[Antiwhippy]

He hates everything exploring big boss's story.

Try to escape out of this one, breezylimbo.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

technically, MGSV doesn't have a number either since it's always had a V for what we all assume is a 5

so the real MGS5 is still possible, especially now that Kojimanime is no longer part of the series and they're bringing in some fresh blood to get it back on the rails

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I'll flip it around and say that major plotpoints of MGS2 and MGS4 have to deal with Big Boss and his legacy

therefore he likes Big Boss

 

[TheMrPliskin]

The major plot points of MGS 2 & 4 are both really stupid, therefore we can conclude that Jeff likes stupid shit.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

everybody likes frank jaeger

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

my favorite big boss is *mgs4 spoilies*

Spoiler

big boss that fucking comes out of nowhere at the end of the game

because it's both the stupidest thing in a long line of incredibly stupid things and because it means that

Spoiler

Solidus's ultimate fate was to have his body burned like a pile of fucking hot garbage

which seems like an incredibly funny thing to me.

also: china understands that anime is nothing but trash, starts banning anime to spare the great republic

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Obviously they haven't recorded the Bombcast yet, not sure what that guy's thinking. But is OLD MEGA MAN GAMES RERELEASED AGAIN even newsworthy at this point?

I hope so, if only so they can talk about how dumb people have been in reacting to the headline and not reading about what it is

 

[Glitchesarecool]

None of those animes are that great anyway so nothing of value is lost.

Do you have to ride a horse in an open world? Cause I don't think he's a fan of that.

Terror in Resonance?
Parasyte was pretty good.

Spoiler

I liked Psycho-Pass

also lol @ SAO II

 

[NumberThree]

Just watching the latest UPF, the first hour or so has been real dumb and unprofessional.

And Brad (of the shoe making kind) is still lookin' real good with his new style.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

but really, I would also ban an anime called The Testament of Sister New Devil because nothing good could come from something called The Testament of Sister New Devil

 

[tanmandu]

If you close your eyes while listening to the "Unfinished: Home Improvisation", it sounds pretty sexy.

 

[Volotaire]

The first hour of MGS4 has nailed the war zone atmosphere better than most modern war shooters today. Incredible.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Parasyte is ok. The ending is hot garbage though.

We've gone from wrestling to Metal Gear to anime so far today. This thread is a nightmare. I'm praying for an earlycast to save our immortal souls.

Lots of hot announcements today are going to make the Bombcast a fun listen, though. Can't wait to hear about the lack of news.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

I made something.

Giant Bomb - Shout!

This was great so well done <3

Looking forward to next week.

Also UPF from last week watching it right now AMAZING

 

[Fantastapotamus]

There really is not much difference between those three. All of them are pretty much anime.

Does it count as ordering pizza if pizza is the one thing that didn't get delivered? I think that's a video of GB ordering disappointment.

This IKEA furniture building sim doesn't seem very good. I mean the QL was funny but didn't make me want to play the game.

Also, people who complain that building IKEA furniture is frustrating or in any way hard either never built any or are idiots. If you can assemble lego then you can assemble a Billy Bookcase. The Billy is cheaper and you get something actually useful at the end of it.

I know in the UK there are multiple companies that exist solely to come and build your flatpack furniture for you

what a world

Jeff hates horses more than helicopters at this point

 

[Archaix]

Horses are the worst. I can get in on some horse hate this week. Not for games, just actual horses. More specifically horses that exist for no reason other than to enable degenerate gamblers. I'm pretty glad that every future Triple Crown will get zero attention now that "Will a new horse win the triple crown?" is no longer an interesting question.

it doesnt look like something id ever play by myself but if it supports 4 players its probably amazing as a drunk party game
