The songs are a weird sticking point for me. Whenever I think about that warehouse level I'm always hearing Guerilla Radio.
More than likely the visuals and gameplay will still bring me in.
I'm just pressing play on a playlist and making it work on my own lol.
It looks great. I love the updated models so they look current, nice touch. I'm one of those who didn't care for too much after 3 so past that I'm waiting for them to never make Skate 4.
The kind of vibe of it goes along with the ideas I have though that hopefully the increase in HD tech and power in general allow larger open environments that aren't hampered by load times or as many limitations.
@retris: that isn't what I mean by look great. He isn't physically as good as he was before athletically, that's just a fact. And he has a crazy old man chest.
But you're right that he's making the most of it and it all works. I think he can still hit some cool and big spots but if you say he's the same it's kind of diminishing him at his best as a in ring wrestler (not saying you are, but to clarify that's my point).
Everything about his gimmick and presentation is fantastic right now. Everything but the physical part is great and that does add to the gimmick in a funny way, which is that kind of aging rockstar thing you bring up. It works for his character in that it makes sense he brings in a bunch of underlings to back him up.
But it works because Jericho is that guy, just seems very self aware which works especially well right now in modern wrestling. And he is simply a very funny man.
I'm on my second attempt at the witcher 3 , got about 20 hours in 2 years ago and fell off, seemed like a good back log game to get through due to covid stuff, currently at about 40 hrs in and loving it i think i might need to knock the difficulty up as i'm battering every enemy
Could not recommend Blood and Broken Bones more. You have a tough time early game but as you go it gets a lot better (if you spec right by the end you can be really overpowered). But the beauty of it is that the difficulty really makes you use your abilities and it becomes really tactical and satisfying. It makes you use most everything at your disposal (I still refused to use the damn bow).
For me Witcher 3 is one of my favorite combat systems at that difficulty. If you switch on the fly now I suppose you would dodge some of the tough parts early. That was really tough as even a couple low level enemies could be very deadly. For me starting by casting Quen was basically required for the early game.
But the progression feels really rewarding then as you go. By the end I was all dodges and heavy strikes with huge crit chance and damage, and concoctions increasing damage and a lot of Yrden traps slowing guys down and weakening them. Really fun. Basically felt like a samurai. By the end I was using every spell but Quen.
@retris: He did an interview when AEW was starting and he basically said "My job for the rest of the time I have in wrestling is to get people over"
He's doing that, but what he's doing on the mic is also cementing his status as one of the greats so it does work out pretty well for him.
It's funny because I was a big WCW kid growing up and I was never the biggest Jericho guy, even though I did think he was talented. Looking back I think it was a lot of his gimmick working on me as a kid (not that I didn't get some to most of it being fake as a kid either - he was just annoying me in the right way).
Now I think he is right at the top of the list with the best ever. He may not look great now or wrestle as well but he's good enough and his mic skills are maybe the best there's ever been. He's already a great commentator in his spare time.
Hope Hangman makes a return at double or nothing also i miss pac, always has class matches
I have become a big fan of both over their recent AEW runs. Agreed. I do think Kenny and Hardy is a cool team as well though with a lot of potential for fun cool moments.
Hangman's BTE stuff has been pretty good. His versions of the Dynamite theme/song intro have cracked me up.
I want to see more Death Triangle. There was a lot of potential for trio wrestling that went away when the quarantine started.
After the last couple GOTY's I really don't care to hear any content like that from Giant Bomb anymore. It has gotten worse every single year for at least the last 5 now, sometimes in totally different ways, and last years was truly awful.
Kenny's bit on BTE this week asking if he looked like a real streetfighter was fucking hilarious, especially since I had a laugh about the cut off shirt, jeans, knee pads watching that match myself. Amazing.
