Playing the testpunch and i must say.

I think that arms.

Has legs.

I was worried about the movement but the movement is great honestly.

I must say though that curving your shots is a real rubbing your tummy and head at the same time situation.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I was getting absolutely destroyed in Arms until I switched to the pro controller, after which I was undefeated.

The fact they spend a long time telling people SW:TFU is a B game at the beginning of this video is real telling....

Yes, the Star Wars game with an enormous marketing budget is clearly a B-game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah I was getting messed up till I realised that the triggers were punches also.

 

[Hindl]

he doesn't actually think Sunshine is the best Mario, right

He thinks it's better than 64 at least. Only behind the galaxies if I remember correctly
Edit: damn I'll have to try the test punch I guess

 

[DanLongman]

I really do love this community. Even though you guys can sometimes be jerks! =P

I haven't watched upf yet how was it?

 

[Zornack]

They should play a Mario Party for a b-tier stream.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Tom Calancy's Poop on Your Toothpaste!

let's just say that Beast wasn't the only crew that brought their B-game

Spoiler

I'm sorry that feature name just makes it so easy

Aren't there quite a few mario party games out there?

They should take a look at all of them.

Budget and marketing don't define B-ness. Jupiter Ascending is a B-movie.

Arms seems cool, but I hope there are options to hold the joycons normally (using your index fingers for L/R) in addition to the default "thumbs up" direction. Carpal tunnel city. And it's just strange when it seems like you should be able to hold them naturally.

I don't know what it is, but Nintendo is consistently the only company to have controllers or control schemes that make my hands hurt. It never happens otherwise.

This is coming from someone who thought Mario Party Party was getting old, yet...how incredible would it be if Dan convinced them to do 100 turns for an Extra Life stream? I want suffering.

 

[Jintor]

i really enjoyed arms, motion controls and all. having movement and punches mapped to motion is pretty confusing at first but i feel like i was getting the hang of it by the end there

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Arms was surprisingly awesome. Helix is just the right amount of dumb for me.

 

[LowRoller]

Arms was fantastic. HIts felt so satisfying and the way you can position yourself around the map is great.

One last hurrah with the Beast crew would be awesome for it, but I agree, after MP3 or 4, the feature got old only because no one other than Dan really gave a shit about it.

I would watch them just for hopes of Jeff freaking the fuck out.

lmao, I forgot all about that FP mode.

Budget and marketing don't define B-ness. Jupiter Ascending is a B-movie.

Originally, B-movie referred to the second film in a double feature, kind of like a b-side on an album. But since those films were almost always low-budget relative to the headlining title, it came to refer to that low budget, more obscure nature. Naturally, arthouse stuff is excepted, despite also having low budgets.

...I looked this up after their insistence that Force Unleashed is a B-game and because I have nothing better to do.

 

[Mr. F]

Was only able to jump into ARMS near the end but found it pretty fun. Not sure if it's a day one just yet but looking forward to playing more over the weekend.

I'm pretty stoked about this new school of nintendo designers

 

[petethepanda]

"B movie" seems like it may as well be interchangeable with "genre film" in most cases.

 

[Twin Tails]

im half pc game

That's no longer the case but good info

 

[MassiveNights]

How is it that everyone forgot the actual definition of what a B game is? B stands for Budget. Period. It always has and always will. The fact that people keep debating it is insane to me. if you played games any time before the middle tier games went away (around 2010) then you know this, everyone knew this.

100% this!

Unprofessional Fridays: 05/26/2017

Time to make-a the pizza! Ben shows off some costumes, Brad plays a game for everybody, and Jeff shoots some ramps.

[Death Metalist]

Did I just miss ARMS beta? lol.

 

[MassiveNights]

Their explanation at start of Force Unleashed is so bad and goes against everything they said in the first episode. Anyway, looking forward to seeing World At War on Bring Your B-Game.

 

[LurkerPrime]

It's weird how B-game morphed from "low-budget game" to "games that are bad."

Beast pls.


STFU was a good choice for Bring Your B(ad) Game though.

 

[Aselith]

B games are between A and bad quality. They are not quite ready for primetime games.

 

[darkwing-buck]

What would you guys say is a good B game?

 

[formated4tv]

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Bee Movie is pretty sweet.

Buck Bumble has an awesome theme song.

I think Cheerios put out a game once too that came in a cereal box.

 

[Hindl]

Lmao that's so bad

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Custom robo for the GameCube

 

[Teddified]

The fact there is so much posturing and discussion about what is considered a "B" game just makes the whole premise kinda bad and they might as well just make this a playdate series where they vote to continue the game. Otherwise every video of this series is just gonna be them saying over and over what a B game is and what other game will "classify" into this ever changing meaning.

 

[Aselith]

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Uncharted

 

[Megasoum]

That whole B game discussion sure is fucking terrible...

That's good. It gives it a structure and a driving force for discussion

Maybe but what if it just turns into the same discussion every time.

 

[Aselith]

GBE is too good for that.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Super Mario The Lost Levels is a B game right?

They should play that next stream......please

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Shadowrun, one of the best FPS on the 360.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Gungrave

 

[mhanna49]

That was Chex Quest. Unfortunately, that is a C game so it wouldn't be covered in this video series.

 

[Hellsing321]

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Nier.
Also Persona.

 

[Megasoum]

God dammit...

I good hooked on Endless Space 2 real good and then a got a stupid bug that makes the game unplayable...

 

[LowRoller]

What would you guys say is a good B game?

Wanted : Weapons of fate.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Man, I am so glad they're gonna play Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

 

[wenis]

Wanted : Weapons of fate.

And then a film and 40's of Manos: Hands of Fate


I'd also like to see Stubbs the Zombie at some point

 

[formated4tv]

Fuck, I gotta wait for "C Us Play Games" now.

 

[Antiwhippy]

God hand is a B game and also the greatest game of all time.

 

[Death Metalist]

[Mr. F]

GBE is too good for that.

But how do I deal with anxiety?
