Giant Bombcast 11/17/2015

Battlefront! Fallout! Tomb Raider! StarCraft! The games of holiday 2015 are upon us, but that doesn't keep us from other important topics like old Bruce Lee games, Nintendo's first post-Iwata Direct, the fate of System Shock, seafood pizza, a bunch of game-review reminiscing, and the things you shouldn't take home with you.

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

This version of the Bombcast is borked at the start. The premium membership ad starts playing, then suddenly it switches to Dan Ryckert and back to the ad.

The irony of offering an introductory price for premium membership on a premium version of the podcast.

Starcraft has been my surprise of the year. Played a ton of Brood War and WoL, but I kinda soured on everything after HotS.

But Legacy of the Void is put together so, so well. Even got me to put down Tomb Raider, and I love Tomb Raider. Might even delay the Bloodborne DLC for me.

Big problems I have. 2015 has been an amazing year.

I realize they want to sell us on upgrading our accounts for longer, but I don't care for the ad.

Yoda and Sidious fight in Ep. 3 was my favorite part of the prequels. Yoda is allowed to kick ass, too.

OG trilogy is classic and a bit outdated stylistically which bums me out that they're leaving that behind too with the prequels.

So judging from the length and the choice of cover art, this podcast includes an argument over Zeldo that ends in bloodshed, right?

I actually appreciated the ad, my membership renews in a few weeks and wouldn't have paid attention until the full price was charged. Cheers for saving me some cash!

Why is there an ad for premium in the premium podcast? Its wrong on so many levels.

I don't wanna complain but since i'm paying to avoid getting ads , getting an ad for something i clearly already have irks me.

I don't understand the obsession with "progression" in multiplayer shooters. Sure it's nice to have a bar fill up and hear a level-up chime every now and then, but I don't go to multiplayer shooters for that. I enjoy them for the moment-to-moment gameplay, for the atmosphere, for the camaraderie with friends.

I still play Titanfall because it plays great, ditto for Halo and its generally rock-solid multiplayer fundamentals. Left 4 Dead and Gears 3 horde mode still get my time because they both nail atmosphere and are enormous fun with friends. From my time with the beta I can tell that Battlefront will be the same for me.

@mcblemmen: BECAUSE THE PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER.

Alternatively because you can extend your membership to yearly for a discount or maybe just a mistake.

Problem with Battlefront is that the moment to moment gameplay isn't all that good or deep. There are like 4 big maps and they all have the same powerups and vehicles. I played 2 hours of the full game and pretty much have already seen everything the game has to offer.

Yeah, what the hell? I came back here to make sure, I thought I downloaded the wrong one.

It's not _that_ bad, but still... not cool guys.
