I Love Mondays - 10/01/2012

I'm liking their new commitment to premium content every week now after the live show.

It's sad to see the RE franchise continue to fall apart.

SHIX this week. Holy crap.

You can change the reticle to RE4/5 style you know...

Where? All I see is laser sight color.

Game settings > controller settings > set targeting reticule.

But trust me... you don't want to play with the classic laser sight.

You aren't kidding. This is way worse!

War of The Roses is really awesome, definitely should do a QL with that.

I've been editing the page all week getting ready for release.

It's a shame Jeff is so extremely dismissive of Double Dragon Neon, I thought it was a pleasant surprise when I gave it a proper chance.

That game is awesome. A nice fighting system what with the dodge, Gleam, parry system and the perk, magic, leveling up and upgrade mechanics.

Clever little variations and innovations to the brawler style of games and just a really fun vibe what with the great music, outrageous writing and great design.

I for one found it to be a quite a hidden gem after thinking it seemed like hot garbage at first glance.

Maaan they're gonna tear this game to shreds this week, can't wait. I also look forward to mellowing out to some Sim Golf on Friday if they go through with that.

Even if that game was going to be good I would still wait for the PC version but now I'm gonna wait till it's dirt cheap in a steam sale. What a damn shame.

More DDneon hate? smh

jeff has no idea why 4 is good

Mount and Blade is the greatest game released.

What's Jeff deal with the new DDN game? I've played it and I thought it was fairly fun but also very silly which was the aspect that sold me on it when you hear the first bosses voice. So good.

Amazing i love mondays lol

Yeah! Sim Golf! They should totally do that. I imagine it would be a good pallet cleanser.

Also, I never played Sim Golf. Seen it here or there, but never played it.

I hope that RE6 podcast doesn't devolve into a bunch of praise for RE4.

The laser sight in RE4 was an absolute staple of that game. That's why the Wii version is such ass.

Sweet, I can ignore RE6 to try and finish Borderlands 2 this week before XCOM devours my free time next week. Maybe even get back to Darksiders II and Sleeping Dogs if I am fast enough.

@moush said:

4 had a bad laser sight?

That's coming from someone who doesn't like these games.

I loved everything up until RE5 which I still could enjoy as a dumb action game but I'm skipping RE6. Their stupid focus on action and sheer unwillingness to try and revitalize what made the series great is just pissing me off. Still need to finish Revelations but that had a lot more promise than whatever they're doing with 6.

Breaking Brad: Resident Evil, coming soon to Giantbomb!!!!

Those are two different things... There are nines, but are there people who like this game?

Jeff Gerstmann, killin 'em not-so-softly.

Resident Evil 6 looks like a trainwreck of Spirits Within or uDraw proportions.

Resident Evil Revelations, Operation Raccoon City, Resident Evil 5th Movie, and Resident Evil Six. Capcom was really betting on this year to be good for resident evil, but it fucking blew up in their face super hard. Resident Evil X Over??? :(

I think we found our next Breaking Brad. An ER of RE 6 on max difficulty.

S0.. Resident Evil 6 is shit, n0t the shit, right?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@jakkblades said:

Yes. Especially the napoleonic wars expansion.

Resident Evil has fallen a long way these past 16 years. The demo was rather disappointing and most of the reviews aren't doing it any favors, I'm might wait awhile on this one.

FIFA 13?

There's also a Resident Evil CGI movie released this year... So much Resident Evil and so much of it is kinda bad =( OK, I haven't played Revelations (though that actually looks pretty good) and I haven't yet seen the CGI movie (The Live-action one is assuredly a pile of excrement) but yeah... This is clearly what that 2012 Apocalypse malarkey was all about - the apocalypse of the Resident Evil franchise T_T

Yeah, you do. It works much better than the reticle.

I'm going to have to go load up RE4 now, because I remember that laser sight being steady as hell. If it did wiggle it was nowhere near as bad as the ping pong tournament going on in RE6's reticle.

Jeff doesn't like mount and blade? Jeff... Jeff... cmon' man. Jeff.

Surprised they didn't do anything on Black Mesa Source

War of the Roses quick look! Do it Drew! Jeff's not the boss of you! Well, he is, but fuck em!

You guys never got around to checking out those Ys games on Steam, you should do them one of these days.

Thanks @Brad for convincing me to not buy RE6!

Yes. Breaking Endurance Run: RE6. Make this happen.

I wouldn't call it a train wreck exactly, it's just really mediocre.

2012 - The year Resident Evil turned to shit.

You're the only person with that opinion I've seen in thousands of posts about the game.

@Curufinwe: lol k

jeff doesn't like mount and blade? color me surprised!

Dammit. I totally pre ordered RE6 in order to get the Umbrealla umbrella. I'm shocked that it's terrible.

God damnit, Mount and Blade quick look!

Best Double Dragon ever: Double Dragon Neon.

That is all.
