Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops and the Wolf: 11/08/2013

KAMEO IS SO HOT RIGHT NOW

...

FOR SOME REASON

SCOOOPS

Kameo sucks. People "like" it so much because they hold on to loving Rare and have the equivalent of beer goggles with the game.

Bombin' the A.M is always a perfect way to end Friday!

Man, weird that they don't think there is an incredible game that come out this year. The Last of Us is my game of the generation and Gone Home is also pretty amazing .

I thought ahead and preordered at my local job. I will be clocking out at closing and even with a preorder , going to wait in line for midnight.

I have been doing it pre-ps2 days , even with preorders. It's the fun to hang out with people in line and talk about gaming. It's like waiting in line for a panel at PAX. Always interesting the people you can run into.

Then off to target for some b2g1 deals.

Kameo is fine. It was pretty good as a launch game and it holds up "OK". It's not amazing or anything but it's hardly terrible.

Man, I played Kameo a couple years ago and thought it was completely alright.

I think someone has paid Giant Bomb to talk about Kameo as much as possible these few weeks.

Patrick...please stop

MASS EFFECT DETECTIVE STORY GAME. SOMEONE KICKSTART THIS.

loved Kameo as a release game. However for ps4 release I picked up Killzone for my first game since Watchdogs was postponed. First time in the Killzone series.

Patrick on Uncharted. I'm sure it'll be great, and it will be really pretty, but ehhh.

Don't like really great games that are pretty?

The visuals don't correspond, but Patrick's description of Master Reboot's premise reminded me a lot of Caprica.

I feel compelled to say two things about Mass Effect:

One: With the Extended Cut free DLC, Mass Effect 3's ending is totally acceptable, and that game overall becomes great. (See Brad's GOTY 2012.)

Two: The Mass Effect universe as left at the end of the "destroy" ending of Mass Effect 3 would be an incredible setting for a video game of almost any genre, with the potential to tell a million different stories, Star-Trek-style, if they just leave the apocalyptic melodrama behind and move forward with the interesting situation they've created.

I really, really hope they do the right thing with the next Mass Effect game. Because that universe is so much better than anything else in big-budget games. It needs to live on!

For real.

@drakesfortune: I know what he means. Uncharted 3 was considered "great" and "pretty" by most folks, but... ehhh. I loved 2, but it'll take something special to get me to care after 3.

Rough draft.... twitter.... That's not how twitter works, Patrick. It's all about the bite size. There's no context. It's not much more than a burp.

yep. I thought it was pretty good for a release game with some neat ideas. My only complaint is that it was super easy without any way to (optionally) increase the challenge.

Hey, who's thaaaaat?

The argument for Kameo makes as much sense as the argument for Yoshi's World, lol.

weeeee! I love this show

kameo is average i do think people think its better then it is.best thing is not go back play it otherwise might ruin memories of it i recently played zone of enders 1 after having found memories of it in past. i found camera to be annoying.

only best games stand up to test of time for example metal gear solid

do remember waiting in line at game station shop in UK for PlayStation 2 for 6 hours in pouring rain only to be told once got inside that all had left was memory cards and controllers really devastated, but it taught me important lesson don't wait in line for stuff when can get it online and not get wet.

This is probably the longest I have ever heard anyone talk about Kameo.

Nice Smashing Pumpkins box set in the back.

I really enjoyed Kameo, got it for £2 in 2009 and still really enjoyed it then.

While I agree that Microsoft was terrible at messaging and with interviews the internet would have never allowed them to survive with those policies regardless. After seeing the Xbox One announcement I thought Microsoft crushed Sony, however sites such as Kotaku and IGN jumped all over the policy which incited an already volatile hardcore fan base.

Normally I would not have a problem with these sites attempting to put a company in its place for DRM restrictions, however these same sites often post about Steam sales and discuss how great Steam is as a digital marketplace. I found it very hypocritical to discuss how awful DRM is on one side of their mouth and on the other to promote Steam which gives the user even less ownership than Microsoft's initial plan. The most unfortunate part is that due to Microsoft's reversal it seems like the end consumer lost a number of pretty cool features already announced or that were coming down the pipe. Just my thoughts on the whole issue.

Anyways, love the podcast keep up the good work!

You guys are really coming into your own with these. They keep getting better.

I think Address the Sess uses Google hangouts better.

Sean Vanaman, Jake Rodkin, Greg Kasavin, Jeff Cannata, Nels Anderson all in one Bombin' the AM?!

SUPER HOT

@meatsim: You should watch Brad's extra life charity stream!

I played Kameo for the first time a month ago... and it's fine. You aren't going to confuse it with Banjo-Kazooie though.

COLUMBO reference!

My favorite show of all time.

Just FYI, Peter Falk didnt actually have a lazy eye, it was in truth, a glass eye. He lost he real eye as a young child.

The world misses that man.

Well, Alex, I went and watched that Rambo trailer. It does not look like an original XBox game, it actually looks okay. It does look like a light gun game, so I probably won't play it, and, lastly, it wasn't really an experience. Just a floating gun shooting a bunch of dudes in various scenes, much like many of the games we have today.

When are you gonna get Dave Lang on this? I just want to see him yell about stuff.

hey look! giant bomb crapping on sony ONCE AGAIN!

@vizionblind: LET THEM HATE... We all know the truth!!! :P

I'll admit it...the top image for this show not looking like Patrick - at all - is starting to annoy me. I'm not sure why he has to look like Mr. Magoo having an epileptic seizure.
