@rethla: A lot of the later ones also have attack choppers and snipers, so the sandstorm is to blind them. Doesn't affect locking on to the helicopter with a rocket launcher, weirdly.
Always such a pleasure to hear Samantha. I never want these podcasts to end. I have so much I want to ask but talking to her directly isn't an option really, and having a discussion in the comments seems like a bad idea.
I also don't like the pledge of allegiance thing, but I am not a fan of patriotism in general. More nuanced, larger conversation, blah blah blah.
@havochq: now that you've been in a quicklook we need to get you on an episode of Danswers. From videogames to life advice. That's how Giant Bomb works, right?
One thing I cannot stand is when a game is blamed for not explaining something, when it very clearly does (even though MGSV is guilty of not explaining a million other things, just not in this case). Brad is the biggest offender here but Drew is so quick to just shoot without reading the mission objective or intel.
I thought the copious amount of voice acting explaining the objective was clear enough but if you didn't get it from that, the mission text is even more explicit.
I really wanted to like the video series but this is one of the reasons I can't continue. I'm sorry. This is supposed to be criticism, not just internet whining. I hope they have fun with the rest of the game but the entertainment value is almost completely gone for me.
Couple of notes for our GBeast editors, from a casual minecraft fan. (I haven't played much but I absorbed information from youtube people).
This looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Minecraft. There are shader mods that apply alot of the colour correction and lighting effects that make it look similar but Telltale didn't just take the vanilla look.
Animations are more natural here and have many more points of articulation (plus they can bend). I would have preferred more simple animations, actually.
Wither skulls are used to summon a wither, which is a giant black flying monster. Austin was thinking of a Ghast (white), which is an intimidating enemy, but a mere baby by comparison.
Minecraft basically is mods. It continues to have life because of the crazy things that can be added, even on server side. Whole other games have been recreated inside minecraft. MS paint is in minecraft, and can be played with servers full of people. The vanilla game is a platform at this point.
I really appreciate the GBeast style of quick looks (you didn't just spend 30 minutes shitting on it) and hope you keep it up!
I had absolutely no interest in playing this until I watched this video. Now I really want it. Maybe I'm just a fool but it looks a lot better than it did in my head.
