Giant Bombcast 06/30/2015

This week: a lot of PlayStation Vue gets vued, we all played Batman, dances get very expensive, Dan definitely shouldn't play with fireworks, and Driveclub will never, ever be spoken of again. All this, plus your emails!

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

Bombcast!!!

Someone should explain Plex + Sickbeard to Mr. Gerstmann. Until these idiots can make platforms that aren't a fucking nightmare, that's going to be my solution.

The last firework I ever bought had Osama Bin Laden's face on it.

So, more baseless Driveclub hate in this bombcast?

That game is fucking awesome right now! Best racing game I've played since PGR4.

Oh no! If there is 1 thing I don't like listening to, it is Jeff defend his opinion on Driveclub. The game is fine. Leave it alone already.

Total Recall is almost over, but I'm tempted to stop it so I can listen to the podcast.

Why am I not surprised that Jeff didn't even give Batman a real chance. Ace Chemicals is pretty much within the first 2 hours of the game ... heh.

The first 20 minutes of this podcast is like Deja Vu or Groundhog day or some shit. They have literally talked about the topics they talk about in this first 20 minutes like multiple times before. Some of the reactions were even the same, like Brad going "oh right Monster was associated with Beats."

@danryckert Every week since '93 = roughly 1170 weeks. 3 hours a week = 3510 hours. That's nearly 150 days of wrestling.

DriveClub now that I finally get to try it handles like a piece of horrifying shit and it should never have gone live like that and I am happy that I finally got to find that out, Started playing driving sims, racers in the mid 80's and continued my whole life, still playing Midnight Clubs, Ridge Racers, Gran Turismos and even a few too hardcore to appear in a Drew QL PC sims. I'd rather drive with mouse and keyboard in GTA games AND I DO.

Well, to be fair it is the 4th game in the series, I don't imagine it takes too long to decide if you're up for more.

I think the game does get somewhat better past ACE Chemicals but to be fair they make the "intro" way, waaay too long. You might even say the game doesn't even properly begin until you get the new suit. IF you're going to stretch the tutorial part of the game over 3 hours then it shouldn't be a huge surprise that you'll lose some people along the way.

Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess is an updated version of Darkside Princess which includes five new playable characters, three of which are the main characters from the previous games. It also adds new stages and traps as well as different gameplay elements and challenges. It's a fairly sizeable expansion to the previous version. I think you guys would find it interesting and it's worth a Quick Look in my opinion.

Add in all the many games that have pretty much the same mechanics and I don't know why anyone would need even that much time.

Also examples of most of the new stuff is packed into that intro so I can totally see anyone who might be fatigued with Batman checking out early.
