Giant Bombcast 10/14/2014

With the Destiny raid completed, we sit back and, um, chat about the Destiny raid... Wait, come back! Jason A. Striker joins us to talk Bayonetta 2, The Evil Within, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, the new New 3DS, more on AC: Unity resolutions, nice bounty hunters, and the nutritional value of certain packing materials.

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

I miss food related imagery. Marshmallows from afar; packing foam up close. Disappointment barely begins to describe what I feel.

I was afraid Brad forgot about the podcast because he went to play Destiny some more.

The oxygen thing in Borderlands sounds way more awful than it actually is in action. Every enemy drops air and there are vents every 5 feet and safe zones and buildings. I cannot imagine even coming close to running out or feeling remotely rushed.

Then what is the point of even having it in the game?

Sweet new bomb cast. Apparently recent events are talked about. Y'all ready for a another 20 page thread?

I assume multiple ads a bombast is a good sign ? More revenue to do what they do is awesome to me

I love the low gravity in The Pre-Sequel. It makes it different. I like different. And it is basically impossible to die from running out of O2. Health goes down really slowly from that. It is mainly an annoyance because it messes up your vision. I also like the Tina character and don't hate Jack. It is strange because Jeff is the person I agree the most with for someone I disagree the most with.

@liquidprince: I bet oxygen was at one point much more scarce, and Gearbox found out it wasn't fun so more and more oxygen sources and drops were added until they arrived at the state the game is in today.

That's a good question. The same gauge powers your extra mobility and slam attacks in low gravity but they could have easily just used a different resource for that.

I suspect that they came to the realization too late that huge Borderlands zones don't mesh with heavily limited resources and had to rapidly course correct from there.

Played a bit, agree about the jumping and oxygen. While I've never ran out and it's so easy to resupply that I can't envision a situation where it happens, it still is annoying. I'm not sure on the jumping yet. But I like the world and unlike Jeff quite liked the writing of 2 and so far this is just as good. As an Aussie, I love that the moon is basically just Space Australia.
