I'm impressed by the game as well. The QL has sold me on the steam version. Shame it's not released next week but July 27 isn't too far.

 

[Darklord]

PC version? YES!

 

[Qwomo]

From Dust looks like my #2 GOTY behind DX3.

 

[wilflare]

random: MySims SkyHeroes any god?

 

[slaughterking]

From Dust looks absolutely incredible. Hope my PC can handle it.

 

[Ceebs]

Yeah consider that bought the day it comes out on PC.

Vinny: "FLUID dynamics"

 

[Aquavelvaman]

That's definitely a game I want to play with a mouse. Looks fun though, please come to Steam.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

GB does a good job selling me games :[

 

[Majine]

Getting constant Black & White vibes from this.

More like Populous 3, like all the time. Teraforming, the tiki stuff. Wonderful!

 

[Emerson]

I knew I was gonna love From Dust but that sold it. I almost always try a trial before downloading a full version but not for this. Can't wait.

 

[Aaron]

Was already waiting for the PC version. This just made the waiting all the harder.

 

[Ceebs]

Oh did they completely fail to mention From Dust is from Eric Chahi of Another World fame?

Quick Look: Warlords (24:58 min.) (ALL THE DUDERS!!!!!)

I don't know why they went classic and complained about how slow it is. The new mode is where all the fun is at. It's pure insanity.

huhu, let's see if this is any good...

 

[legbone]

dammit. giantbomb has sold me on another game thanks to that From Dust quicklook. looks way more fun than i thought it would. usually i hear "god game" and fall asleep.

 

[Kyaw]

Sold on From Dust. Looks really great and it's coming out real soon!

Anyone making an OT?

Oh man, less than a minute in and I was ready to put my self out of my misery.

Quick Look: Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team (37:35 min.) (Brad / Vinny)

Brad: "How do I use my Chainsword" , 20 seconds after the game told him how. SMH.

And so far he's barely used it despite choosing that guy specifically for it. Sometimes I hate watching other people play games

Looks so good. <3 Summer of Arcade.

Vinny: "FLUID dynamics"

What about that quote? Is this just the average Vinny-love-for-whatever-reason-post?

You watch people playing games but you concentrate on other stuff, then you think that person is playing wrong because of that. I really start to get tired of the "oh brad" posts, it is normal and everyone makes mistakes. Not to talk about them moderating it and talking to another person as well.

the fluid dynamics bit is a reference to the pixeljunk shooter quicklook.

Okay.

"WAHHHHHHHHH"

 

[Jibber Hack]

Wow. Kill Team looked pretty fun. Might just be because I'm a 40K fan. Also, omg at From Dust. Might have to purchase that too.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Hey look, its Patrick's GAF account.

Spoiler

Who else would feel compelled to defend him

Patrick has a GAF account. He has like the 5th ever GAF account :lol

 

[ultron87]

I'm pretty sure his GAF account is just "Patrick Klepek".

The other GB members have made fun of Brad for that stuff going back to GameSpot days, and "pulling a Brad" is part of GB history now. Don't be a creepy white knight trying to defend him, he knows his reputation in QLs and why he has it.

Quick Look: From Dust (37:54 min.) (Brad / Vinny)

ok, sold. totally gonna get this on the PC.

 

[sssstententen]

Just watching the From Dust quicklook made me so happy its coming to PC so I can use a mouse.

I can't imagine how frustrated I'd become using a controller analog stick.

 

[Conceited]

From Dust looks like a cool tech demo, but not much of a game.

Am I missing something or am I just expecting too much?

Brad mentions the later levels are much harder with more mechanics. Looks like the early levels are simply tutorials so it's simple.

How so? Seems to work fine with a controller. I also did not get Vinnys Move comment or why it would be a good motion control game.

Yeah can easily see this becoming a lot more demanding.

I just started watching and the FLUID DYNAMICS look incredible.

 

[KarmaCow]

Think he meant more for pointer control than motion control.

 

[IamMattFox]

His tone made me laugh cuz it sounded pervy.

"You do whatever floats your boat, baby."

I love how Vinny is always trying to do the goofiest things in games. "Can you drop some dirt in the tsunami?" "Drop water on that bug!"


"Can you put lava on people?"

 

[sssstententen]

If the game progresses the way Brad made it sound, and also if the element movement (ground and water) dropping acts how it looked in that Quick View, I think having a mouse and the faster response times/tactile movements would really benefit it aesthetically and strategy wise.

I loved the quick look but it frustrated me how clumsy the dropping of the sand/water seemed. A mouse might fix that issue if you can kind of guide the materials while they fall.

 

[Nintaiyo]

I'm pretty sure his GAF account is just "Patrick Klepek".

Nope. It's eXxy.

 

[V_Ben]

Nope. It's eXxy.

No, It's his name now. He abandoned that.

 

[Papercuts]

Kill Team looks pretty fun, but there's no online co-op, right? Definitely a deal breaker for me.

From Dust looks SO damn good. I wish that was the first SoA game, I can't wait for it.

yea, Kill Team doesn't look as bad as i originally expected but no online coop is fucking shit. PASS.

 

[StuBurns]

So, From Dust looks fucking incredible, cool.

I used to think like this. But between this and the OOT quick look, I don't know you can keep defending it.

damn, tomorrow looks like a big day. AND Happy hour? Lots of catching up to do Sunday...

Watching From Dust kinda makes me regret ignoring Black & White so long ago due to the hate it received at launch. Have the urge to actually find a copy of that to try finally.
