Watching Day[9] playing Bastion makes me wonder what Supergiant Games is working on right now. Bastion 2... anyone? Or something completly new? Maybe something like a JRPG with action elements? Just spitballing here.

I don't get why people are so turned off by the Twilight Princess art style (recent Bombcast). I didn't finish it, because I got bored after 10 hours, but the art syle was not that bad.

PlayStation 2 – 21,833,215

oh hey guyz thanks for another random patrick hate thread!!!

It didn't start out as one but his dickish demeanor on the casual friday show made him an easy target (again). And it didn't help that he presented a few wrong assumptions about the game as facts. That itself really seems to have become a Klepek thing: pretend knowledge.

this is a game with a cult audience who like/appreciate what it does, but it also seems pretty heavily flawed and seems like it requires a large investment to get anything good out of it. seems like the bombcrew's opinions are pretty ot$.

Obviously, you didn't play it. The game has flaws. But I wouldn't call it heavily flawed.

The biggest flaw for many of the haters is that it's not a 2D sidescroller.

Also, the game distinguishes itself well enough from God of War. It's not bombastic spectacle from beginning to end. There are lots of calm moments, many (actually fun) puzzle sections, very different in tone (very serene, which I happen to love about the game), the combat system is even more intricate etc.

It often seems to me he reads some shit somewhere and mindlessly repeats it as if were his own conclusions. Best thing is when someone like Jeff calls it out and Patrick immediatly starts to paddle back or switches topic.

@csl316: Thanks. I almost turned of the stream when Patrick called the music generic.

OK. It's the Co-op stuff

Just a quick question: What the hell is the Astrid Incident? It is mentioned in the handbook and it says Jason would find out soon what this means. Did I miss something?

perfect

Well, I have tried multiple times before but I finally get it. When Halo originally came out I was a PC gamer and never understood what the hype is all about. I played Halo 3 on the 360 (my first console) and it was OK, a bit boring on your own but OK for a co-op session. Then last Year I was given the anniversary edition as a present and it still didn't grab me. A few days ago we put it in just to test a friends new 3D TV and I had a lot of fun with it. Well, guess I am little late to the party.

Are there any games you picked up years/decades later and suddenly realized that you have been wrong all along?
