I wonder how many suggestions they've gotten for a Dan-driven Rimworld series since Friday's podcast. Pretty important to have builders in that game.

Everytime I hear about this game I keep thinking it's a discworld game and then get sad.

Nah, it's Dwarf Fortress but what if Space Fortress instead.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nah i understand that, it's just that i mentally associate the word rim with the discworld and with the way that title is structured, yeah.

Just watched that FFIV video from Danny and that was pretty good.

Looking forward to the next parts.

 

[DanLongman]

Oh FFS, it's a crush. It's not like I was ever going to act on it.

You're never going to realize your dreams with that attitude!

 

[Harpuia]

What's wrong with Persona 5 that it seems like so many people bounced off of it? Just not different enough from P4?

I'm firmly convinced that it's like Mario Kart, wherein your first Persona is always the best one.

Half way through the fifth dungeon in persona (82 hours in) and struggling to keep playing

 

[therealminime]

I really hate to say it but I realized this morning that I don't like Nier Automata. The first few hours are so awesome, so weird and creative and exciting but it just sort of continually went downhill in terms of fun/interesting/weird for me. The combat and world (visually) being boring didn't help either. I think I am near the end of C and have stopped playing and I kind of hate myself for feeling this way after there being so much praise for it (and after liking so much of it myself, early on).

 

[Joeku]

After the fifth dungeon, I believe it was Haru and the localization that finally broke me and I haven't picked the game up in like a month and a half.

Having "this guy are sick" stuff in an otherwise very tightly-produced game in 2017 is ridiculous.

Also I can't not hear Futurama's Nixon saying "Haru" whenever she's mentioned or on-screen.

I'm getting too bogged down in side quests and its killing all momentum re: my interest in continuing to play it. Fucking hate how you can't just teleport from the pause menu, getting around is such a pain in the ass.

I lasted until about halfway and just couldn't play it anymore. I really really really found the game boring

i stopped before that. It just completely failed to keep me interested.

 

[therealminime]

I will say Nier Automata should probably win Best Soundtrack. Even if I don't think there's enough combat music, the OST in that game is pretty incredible.

 

[Toparaman]

I'm waiting for Nier's story to go beyond the usual anime sci-fi tropes. I remember Alex being pretty down on the story at first too.

If you're that far in you might as well see the final ending which is by far the best part of the game.

I want to see Abby and Vinny do an improv skit together

Giant Bomb has talked about getting an RV and going cross country before. There you go. A travelling Improv troupe.

Yeah, it's sci-fi anime as fuck, but what makes the game special is how it tells the story. It does it so well that it's my goty so far and I can't stand anime.

I quit at the same point and wish I'd gotten out earlier tbh

I just played through Virginia and: W H A T

You probably need to be a bit more specific. There are a lot of games on steam

Is that a good W H A T or a bad W H A T

That would be amazing. Now I have something to look forward in my life.

Jeff's landmine suggestion for this hunting game is so funny to me.

Highly recommend Dead Cells if you haven't checked it out! I also picked up crypt of the necrodancer (loving it so far), nex machina and sunless sea

No way in hell Vinny leaves his kids for that long.

I purchased Banished for $5. It's sort of like a Medieval SimCity (more like SimVillage). I had previously purchased it on GOG, but wanted it on Steam (mainly for the convenience of the Steam Workshop support). Here's an old Quick Look

The Patrick hot dog shirts are on sale.

They could wait a month and pretend that they are Abby hot dog shirts.

I bought Morrowind GOTY edition for some reason

It's a "I don't even know what to make of this thing" W H A T. At first it's confusing, but if you pay attention you think you've got the story figured out about halfway through (and it's like 90 minutes long) but then the last 20 minutes it just... goes some places. I don't think it earns what it's trying to go for at all, but I'll give it this: it's interesting. For like two and a half bucks it's worth seeing.

@bradshoemaker

Anybody up for a little beach bbq?

Wonder if they'll do Murder Island tomorrow.

Beast in the East too pls.

Vinny should customize his PUBG character to look like Majima

that's doable, right?

 

[Blitzrules240]

Monday after work confirmed to be good.


Thanks Twins.

 

[Infinite Justice]

These Murder Island titles continue to be great

 

[oti]

Yakuza, Persona and PUBG.
Worst day confirmed.

Spoiler

I'll be really happy once we can move on from these three. Not trying to be a hater. I'll watch* PUBG.

*have it playing in the background

 

[Fireblend]

Yakuza, Persona and PUBG. The trifecta.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Oti confirmed as #hater

I'm a #lover

 

[brainzelda]

Might have to get used to it. Nothing is really coming out for the next 2 months until Mario Rabbids. I guess Splatoon 2.

You know what would be really cool? Dan trying to finish the Zelda DLC on hard mode. That would be neat content.

 

[petethepanda]

I'm about ten hours into Nier 1. It's... man, it's really good. There's a level of jank present that was Platinum'd over in Automata, but it's a certain brand of jank that I'm completely okay with (somewhat reminiscent of Team Ico stuff).

 

[Exterminieren]

Now that Brad's got his chicken dinner, prepare for him to completely fall off the game and scarcely mention it again.

That's just the way it goes.

Screw that. Give me Breaking Brad: Bradth of the Wild.

 

[oti]

I would've suggested that too but Dan has finished the game and Brad hasn't. I think the DLC would be neat, self-contained content.

Now that Brad has beaten PUBG he should go home early on Mondays to do BOTW solo streams.
