But I agree with some others, I would REALLY prefer to watch you play some more Old Games. Not just at home, I'd like more Old Games in the studio with the gang, too.
@7x_: Dan doesn't even like superheroes in general, right? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think he's one of those guys that only likes Batman and insists he's not a superhero because he has no powers. So at some point his opinions on superhero films are just "How Normal Cool Dude is this?"
Actually I might be thinking of Jeff.
Well, regardless of that he makes valid points that aren't often made. Everyone who loves comics just decides to love comic movies since they're getting attention now and budgets, even if they're just safe, boring middling action movies with no identity.
Even though Watchmen wasn't a good film I remember it. I can't remember any other superhero movie besides maybe Spiderman 2 which is ancient by now.
I absolutely share being baffled by GOTY and Shadow of Mordor. I beat that game but felt it was mediocre at best.
I personally enjoyed the game quite a bit--being able to call in your own mordor bros to help was a pretty cool feature however I pretty much ALWAYS dominated or killed any radiant enemy I encountered which made the system a little less enjoyable, rivalries never really happened (Playing "Normal" or the equivalent)
I haven't watched the deliberation podcasts but I can assume a big reason why so many critics loved the game is because it was different. This is something TotalBiscuit talked about in regards to Mad Max, Players liked it and critics despised it. They are used to playing EVERYTHING so when something does something new it means even more to them than it does someone who just plays games. Thats my take, anyways.
It would make sense that some people's perception were different from others since in my case, Nemesis didn't really do anything besides allow me to have mordor bros to help kill the new meat that was always killed in the first battle. I DID have one guy that killed me once and it was really cool to see him run in on a fight between me and a goblin but if that never happened I would've never had any respect for the system, I'm sure other people had this issue.
@danryckert I agree with you about the recent superhero movies, They are fine but completely unremarkable. I recently saw Wonder Woman and had to keep myself from falling asleep, it was way too safe and boring.
I'd much rather have another dodgy Watchmen than another boring over budgeted Wonder Woman.
I get 500 kbs/s. That's half of a MB. It took me an entire weekend to download DOOM.
Also, Dan, please don't talk shit about stories getting up their own asses and being dumb when your favorite series is MGS. (For the record, I love MGS)
It's very strange for you guys to talk about the Mod banning in GTA when news came out days ago that Rockstar has already told T2 to fuck off. OpenIV is back and updating however as far as I know the taking down of MP hacking tools is still active (Thank god)
I can understand uploading a pre-recorded podcast but you should add notes to the podcast so you don't spread misinformation.
I love Samantha Kalman but the loud ass girl talking over her and the other girl and bringing up gaming politics and calling people sitting next to her lazy was super annoying. I just wish you guys could talk to Sam on her own more.
