Is dan really the one to be given shit about his opinions lord of the rings compared to Jeff "is golem the same as jar jar binks"?
At least Dan watched it so he can have his own opinion.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Roriecast is the best cast
Yeah, same here. While I was playing it, Idle thumbs talked about it like it is this monumental thing ("the Dark Souls of golfing") for two podcasts and I thought I was going crazy. It's a well made golf game with sand physics without all the f2p pulp, that's pretty much it.
To be fair he also says Phantom Menace sucks as well.
Humans are always judgmental, it's in are nature.

The Alien design is kind of dumb looking and I never understood people getting hard over it.

Its a hit.... Seriously though, some of those opinions this week seemed a little out of left field. Not necessarily wrong (except that one) but still a little unexpected.

Skip it if you can. It goes on way too long.

Do they at least think its bullshit?
Because GB can be a bit weird about tech stuff. I will guess they will take the "buy it on PC if u care about that stuff" response

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
DUDE NO !!
Don't skip it .. the Unity segment is BRILLIANT !!
Jeff's batman voice kills it.
@funkystudent listen to it .. Jeff kills the segment.

that one was too obvious, even for dan
ignore and move on
Well if Jeff has never seen the movies, he couldn't possibly know. I think that's a perfectly understandable comparison to draw when you first hear and see Gollum in Shadows of Mordor, not knowing anything about the character's fairly tragic backstory, the ring's effects, his role in the story to come etc etc.
Similarly, Jeff's inability to see the Alien as a terrifying and scary creature is a direct result of his only exposure to the franchise being through videogames, in which you shoot down hundreds of jankily animated Aliens in every game. If you first see Giger's Alien in a movie theatre in 1979, fuck yeah it's scary.

Brad seems to dismiss it, but Jeff says the speculation isn't baseless he doesnt know for sure but he says he would like to know what the deal is.
But yes listen to it Jeff kills it.

Of course he does. Brad think Destiny is proof that the gap is closing.
Well it is a figurative erect penis with a smaller erect penis inside its mouth.

"Do you think 180 lines of resolution is something worth paying for in the mainstream?"
Oh for fuck's sake, Brad.

He was really quiet until the email got him back involved.

Man, I'm so done with the Destiny discussions. I'm just toning it out at this point. I'm writing this post while it's going on on my player.

Not that it really matters but Jeff's complaint about not being able to paint your car one solid color in Driveclub is untrue. You can choose to not have any kind of vinyls/decals and pick whatever color you want. I figured this out within an hour of playing the game.

Jeff's attitude was poisonous last episode. His DriveClub anger, his Destiny dismissal. Poisonous attitude, the other guys on the podcast were even afraid to admit that they were having fun with Destiny, even though they sure sounded like they were.
Unsubscribed so hard. Last time I did this was when Jeff dismissed Monster Hunter/Demon's Souls. I need enthusiasm in my gaming press, not some tired, jaded game journalist that gets soured on games when they don't offer rewind features, gameplay loops that require no effort or stress, and a quicksave around every corner.
Yeah ok, whatever.

It's ok when other people dislike things you like.
I like Destiny, and am tired of hearing about it on the podcast, especially this last one where Brad would never let the segment end.
I've noticed that he barely speaks on certain topics, eventhough he should have meaningful things to say after many years at Game Informer.
Same here, but mostly because there isn't much to be said anymore.
Isn't the actual difference between 900 and 1080p 44% pixels?

I'm just tired of these games being talked about like they're somehow the equivalent of Superman 64, there's so much hyperbole/gaming politics going on. In no way is Destiny or DriveClub a 'bad' game, you can choose to dislike it.. and they're both open to criticism. But to just openly dismiss them and act like they're trash is just not what I expect from professional game journalism.
Everybody acts like it's got cooties.. ridiculous.
It would have been great if the others on the bombcast had a chance to actually play DC for themselves so we could have some sort of fair and balanced discussion, but Jeff's voice is just too overpowering, and that seems to be his schtick.

It's a 44% increase, yeah. The issue isn't even that Unity isn't running at 1080p, it's that Ubisoft is intentionally gimping the more powerful platform.
Oh, Bradley...
I would love to think he knows the difference, but using this absolutely ridiculous talking point, I don't know.
Can't say I'm very surprised.

Firstly, what.
Also secondly, it's mostly because no one else cares about driving games except for drew and alex, and drew doesn't have a PS4.

What resolution does Brad usually use on his PC monitors? Maybe he really doesn't care. Like my grandma runs her computer at 800p or something, the icons are huge.
He is supposedly the "tech expert" at GB, which makes it even funnier.
Anyways, the issue of resolution isn't the main issue.

Jeff and his whole "Follow the money" regarding Ubisoft and the resolution stuff had me rolling.

Is it still an hour of brad repeating over and over that he doesn't like the game but he keeps playing it?
I haven't reached it yet but last week was just excruciating...
Last year the tech experts at Tested said resolutions don't matter cause scalers.
With so many games coming in the mail for their job I couldn't imagine spending my free time with a game that I don't think is good.

I think so? Idk, they've been so indistinguishable at this point. The discussions I mean.

If he had went to Hoodslam with Dan, this would never have happened.
Ugh. Haven't listened to that podcast since whitta stopped being a regular. It was getting bad back then, I can't imagine how it is now. I'll come back for the octobercast though.
nope
Is it not happening?
