Quick Look: Pokemon Conquest

I kind of hate it when the GB crew doesn't take playing a game even 5% seriously. Like at 6:55, when they try to break the game by telling their first companion, "No" again and again? WTF is the point of that? And from Vinny? Shame on you; you're better than that. Shit like that just derails everything and is a stupid waste of time. Seems to happen a lot in Ryan Quick Looks...

Because it's really dumb that the game gives you a "choice" when it really doesn't. And by pushing 'no' a couple of times and cracking jokes about it, this dumb element of this game is highlighted.

Man, having to explain the joke kinda kills it.

@vinsanityv22: Chill dude, it's Pokemon.

I love the impressions of anime bullshit during this quick look, I'm a big anime fan and it was so spot on

Interesting game - and good use of the franchise. Would prefer a good old Koei tactics game set in the sengoku or three kingdoms era but this will sell much better of course. Will pick this up on a sale.

"Don't touch it! Thats how shit gets messed up!"

Oh Vinny.

Wow Aurora

Damn, Pokemon Conquest used future sight, it was super effective.

@xrolfx: dude, videogames are serious business... Giant Bomb should know this and act accordingly.

Vinny, you have great tastes! One of my favorite meals is stewed meat in a crock pot (in cream of mushroom gravy) poured over rice. Also, this game looks ok, but definitely not for me.

Ryan is 100 percent correct about anime teeth.

I hate it when people just complain about everything. Like this comment, when you try to be incredibly boring and unfunny. And from vinsanityv22? Shame on you, you're better...actually I don't know you.

But seriously isn't "making fun of video game" half of what Giant Bomb does? Videogames are stupid, and it's fun to tear them apart, in a non asshole way. I consider Giantbomb to be a half comedy half "video game information" site and this QL was just freaking hilarious. If you don't like that, I don't really know what you are doing here.

@vinsanityv22: WHAT IS THE POINT OF BEING FUNNY WHAT DOES IT SERVE

It serves being funny you fucking mong

I came here for the slappin.

Let me think about it for a moment... NO!

@BooDoug187: What's with Pokemon and false options.

@Moonshadow101: But he got the Mew part right while Ryan was in the wrong.

@Ravelle: I liked how Penny Arcade's On The Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness episode 2 handled the false option. Say no enough times you get a trophy!

@Skanker: Only the main story is easy since it's basically a tutorial to the post-game which is actually a challenge because you have to keep attacking and defending.

WOBBA!

Any Quick Look with a Persona 4 reference is okay in my book.

Sweet, I have been on the fence about this game... thanks for giving me a good look at it :D

I love all the Ron Paul references on Giant Bomb!

Pokemon SRPG outta nowhere

Dude, everybody, this game is legit. Have it. Beat it. Still have a tendency to take other games out and put it back in. Once you beat the main story, which is breezy and fun in a kid-friendly Pokemon kind of way, it transforms into an excellent simple-on-the-outside, complex-on-the-inside "just one more battle" kind of game, with a staggering amount to do if you're up for it. Basically, the game evolves like a Pokemon. Cute Pokemon Game at first. Bitchin' Pokemon Game after that. I don't know if it has another evolution. Mine's still just Bitchin'.

EDIT: I looked it up in the Pokedex. Its third stage will be "Fond Memory." Makes sense.

thants Vinny, for recognizing the smell of strawberry shortcake toys.

Is that guy just Keiji Maeda from Samurai Warriors? Dood was total badass!

Does it eventually go into Pokemon fights with Nobunaga?

I wish I was a DS cop.

Do you have a sense of humor? No? Then you're on the wrong website.

I wonder if they'll ever do Pokemon Dynasty with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? I'd play it.

Vinny: Kill that thing!

Ryan: I'm gonna whack the shit out of it!

Exchange of the episode.

No means No lets not have double standards women!

Vinny is the greatest.

5 dollars says Ponigiri is pokemon onigiri (rice balls)

Not what i was expecting :|

I like how even if you would pick the anime boy option, you still get a cute girl that's onscreen 50-75% of the time.
