It's hard to care about other games after you dota.
Is Vinny in this?
surprised he was wasn't playing. I'll take a look tonight.
The Atlus site comes from the fact that it seems like whenever Atlus releases a game tangentially related to SMT, fans demand that GB do everything up to an ER for it.
I believe they've gone on the record saying that they would specifically avoid Atlus games in the future for ERs so they wouldn't solely be "that site that does Atlus playthroughs".
I acknowledged that I was probably going to be wrong, but something about Jeff saying "No." point blank to a question about whether he was playing SMT4 makes me think that maybe they'll skip it.
I feel like it would have been a game that would have been passed off to Patrick.

Well it's not like they don't go in blind pretty often.
Also I doubt jeff right now is the type to play a fairly hardcore RPG on his own time.

This thread does that a lot and over estimate...everything
What are you saying about me? I'm offended that you'd think that about me specifically.
Uh... this is sarcasm, just to be clear.
You have Drew in your avatar, clearly you want to be his husbando.
They should avoid RPG quick looks if one of the crew is not already in to the game or at least interested in playing it.
If they pick it up during the tutorial then it makes for a boring half hour of footage. If they put time in to get to the main game then fans moan that they only showed the starter areas. Not every game needs to be covered.

jesus christ, that leisure suit larry quick look. that game is utterly insufferable.
that's dumb. The risk of having that image stuck to them was years ago, but at this point, literally no one thinks of them that way.

Well duh. If you look into my post history, 2/3rd of it is drew related. Because he is perfection manifested.
Eurogamer certainly thought so.

Sounds like it's true to the original game.
And people call this a classic? I seriously couldn't even finish the quick-look. The game was that obnoxious.

Its a little different when you're 9-10 years old and you get home from school and you try to play as much of the game as you can before your parents get home.

I never found the Larry games funny, I just played them for the promise of some pixelated boobies. I was just the right age to fall into that demographic bracket.
LSL Reloaded is about as topical as Duke Nukem Forever, and it shows.

Adventure game golden age + porn was not as prolific as it is now. Times were different.
Well I can't argue with that.
I guess you weren't alive when comedy was comedy and women were objects.
I am a huge Larry fan, but the remake isn't great. It's worse than the previous remake and that wasn't great either.
Hell the first Larry was a remake of a text adventure from 1981.
I'm not holding out a lot of hope for this team being able to make a great new entry considering they didn't seem to take anything but an art style from the brilliance that was Larry 7...and that came out in 1996.
But it's better he's back to adventure games rather than the "Larry Lovage" series I guess. I just wish they'd not seemed to take such an uninspired way about things.
I still think there's a place for lowbrow comedy in gaming as there is in other forms of entertainment, but this remake doesn't do it well and certainly doesn't showcase why Larry stood out.
Keep in mind it was the top adventure game company of the time making these at a genre's peak, and even after Sierra were battling with Lucas, entries in the Larry series got a pass from reviewers that the Redneck Rampage's and Postal's over this world never did at the time - and there's a reason for that.

I think it's just a matter of the game not holding up.
My nostalgia made me fund the game on Kickstarter, but I can't be assed to actually play the game. Remembering that you have to gamble to make money to be able to do anything is enough to make me give up on the whole thing.
That said, the fact that they "fixed" the game so that it's not unwinnable now is at least admirable. But it's a game burdened by a two-decade old design, and short of completely rewriting the game, they did what they could with the money they had.

I still can't believe Ryan got a handjob from a mother. Where was the kid? Was Ryan single then? Did Dave clean his van afterwards? So many questions.
i think any JRPG ER is just too soon for Tricky, guys.
he should in the next Friday show. All that DLC he bought put to waste.
whenever they're ready, i'll be there. *salute*
Did we ever find out what was up when the Sleeping Dogs dev wanted Vinny to get in touch with them?

Not yet, to my knowledge. I was wondering the situation of those talks not long ago, and I'm still hoping for Sleeping Dogs 2 character appearance or something.

He seems like a cool guy but his "stage presence" (for lack of a better phrase) always came across as super boring whenever he showed up at PAX or whatever.
It'd probably be the sleepiest LP ever.
