Love the Metroid theme.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is Geoff Jerstmann on this?

 

[Zaph]

Someone needs to tell Chelsea to get up on that mic

Was going to post this. Way toooooo far away.

 

[Death Metalist]

I hope Nintendo doesn't delete this thread.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

The preorder ship seems like it has been causing all kinds of issues. It either skips the tutorial or breaks progression.

 

[jbug617]

Jeff liked his first experience with No Man Sky but not sure if there is more to the game.

doesnt look like it tbh

 

[jaina]

Hah, great work Ren with the surprise guests!

 

[MassiveNights]

Not sure how much more you can expect from it tbh.

Like what are people wanting in the game that's not there?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yeah if you were paying attention to the game prior to launch, it's pretty much exactly what they've said it is all along.

 

[jett]

Do you create these themes every week yourself?

I read someone saying they were thinking that they could police the galaxy with their friends and make it safer lol.

 

[MassiveNights]

Jeff has made a really good point though, they should have said online connectivity is required like Destiny.

Stuff like this is REALLY cool though

"We do want to add a ton of features, like we've just discussed: Freighters, bases, these type of things. But we want to do it for free," Murray said in a recent interview with Red Bull. "You've paid for the game, so you should get this stuff without paying even more money. So no, there will be no paid DLC, just patches."

It is cool, but damn, those types of blanket statements can really come around to bite them in the arse if reality causes plans to change.

I don't think it will, they are masters of their own domain. Sony are pretty hands off apparently.

And it looks like the game is going to sell really well.

 

[Zombie James]

That was a really great discussion. Making NMS digital only or online only would have helped the situation but each case would be doing a disservice to the developers and the game. Requiring online for a game that can be played completely offline would have upset people, and you still can't ignore the effects of having a retail presence.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Journey was so good.

A lot of people thought they'd gone through the whole game with one person, and then discovered at the end it was 3 or 4 different players that came and went throughout. That was my experience, certainly.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

yay! I've missed a bunch again

 

[PandaShake]

Live podcasts are great. I get to listen much earlier now.

 

[Aselith]

It isn't though is it?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Did Brad make that mistake on purpose?

 

[Hasney]

Oh no.... Not the yellow Russian.

 

[Chuck]

Sometimes the bullshit fake story emails are too easy to spot.

 

[pantsattack]

Jeff:

 

[jbug617]

Crossplay question very handy with Adam on the bombcast.

 

[NIN90]

Wasn't a way access the video feed before it gets uploaded, like with UPF? Just started watching from the start but they took down the live feed.

 

[MassiveNights]

It isn't though is it?

No, but the way it's a 'live' evolving game and the on disc version is apparently below par, it would at least protect those who thought they were getting a complete offline experience from the disc only.

 

[tesqui]

I hope the podcast goes up soon, I got 404'd halfway through

daydream and I brainstorm the themes and I do the graphics each week.

Ugh dave Lang turning in to giant galaxy

Dave Lang is the goat guest.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Glad Giant Bomb is getting back to the basics: energy drink taste testing!

Boyes shouldn't let his kids watch reaction vid crap.

GET REKT BOI

 

[patapuf]

It isn't though is it?

Nah, but PC games that are technically playable offline but require a connection for activation have that on the box too.

Something like "connection required for installation" or something like that.

 

[Boombox On]

Trying to skip past the Nms talk. Is there a timestamp for this episode?

 

[LiK]

Hard to tell if Jeff really likes NMS from the discussion. Guess we'll know when he plays more of it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Trying to skip past the Nms talk. Is there a timestamp for this episode?

It stops at 56:00

I thought it was a pretty good discussion, although Jeff jumping from being concerned about how people without internet access would get the patch to saying they should have made the game online only was weird. People with limited internet access should not have the choice to play NMS taken away from them by an arbitrary online requirement.

 

[No_Style]

The cross play discussion was very insightful. Adam and Dave's perspectives were fantastic.

[Fushichou187]

Really enjoyed the "business-end of things" Iron Galaxy brought to the table, especially the NMS segment.

I read someone saying they were thinking that they could police the galaxy with their friends and make it safer lol.

haha Unfettered expectations are a helluva drug, that's for damn sure.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

As soon as Adam got out of Sony, he bought his kids Nintendo products. That's great.

Yeah, or admitted it (ask people who work for Coke or Pepsi about drinking the other in sight of head honchos).

 

[Neuromancer]

What is the name of that iOS game Jeff was talking about with the eggs?
