Totally unnecessary but MGS1.

Think Jeff liked Conviction

@humanity: 100% agree. Abby’s levels were better and she’s just a more complex and interesting character IMO.

That’s an interesting theory. Personally, I just thought “oh, because Abby doesn’t carry a knife, I gotta craft shivs” but I can’t believe somebody like Abby wouldn’t just bring a knife with her. It’s not like Ellie’s knife is special in some way. Felt weird but whatever. Made me mix my play style up a bit.

I think the developers just wanted to make the two characters mechanics different enough that it wouldn’t just feel like a character reskin.

I’m always thinking about going through The Phantom Pain again. But the idea of doing that tank battle at the end with Quiet again is always enough to put me off.

@luchalma: totally. Where do they find the time to stupidly get involved in conversations like these that have no chance of coming to any kind or desirable conclusion other than “hopefully he gets tired of this before me”

🍿

Like some others have said, rather than his “journey” creating something, I’d like a semi-regular series checking out the state of the community.

I think that kind of show might suit Jeff a little more though.

Maybe it might take a similar approach as Get on My Level??

It looks great. As a few others have pointed out though, this voice acting sounds bad. I’m not American so I’d like to ask if it sounds “natural” or “good” to some American duders here.

The fantastical setting and personalities of these characters just doesn’t gel with the budget Pixar voices I’m hearing.

I’m hoping they’ll release a Japanese voice/English subs version.

I’ve been thinking for a while about how video game websites cover video games “not considered good”. I understand the importance of educating readers/viewers of games worth or not worth our money but I can never help thinking about the people who work so hard and for so long on the games we summarise in 20 minutes. Often not with the attention equal to the effort they have put in.

Don’t get me wrong. Bad games should be raised as a precursor to players spending their own money but I’ve recently developed a problem with people making fun at the expense of games in aid of their own entertainment value.

I’ve seen it a few times but it hit a boiling point for me with the east team’s coverage of the new terminator game recently. That development team have made massive improvements and strides in their games and to watch a quick look where a group of people spend their time doing nothing but trying to one-up each other in pithy, degrading remarks of the development efforts of the team just feels too much like schoolyard bullying without any focus on journalistic principals made me kinda sick.

It just seems so one-sided that websites, influencers and the like use years of hard work from many people as the basis for twenty minutes of entertainment for their own needs. Planning, development, securing funding... all in aid for a small group of people to cast fast aspersions in an amount of time equal to less than a percent of the hard work that went into it.

Again, this isn’t unique to GB but that Terminator quick look... made me sick and sorry for the development team who really are trying their best for a long time only to be greeted with feedback like “well it’s bad but better than their previous efforts which weren’t very high” (not a verbatim quote 🙏)
