  • goosemunch posted a message on the post 109.

    I failed that test miserably. In my defense I live in Canada so I'm not used to naming more than 10 places.

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic Funimation streaming is being rolled into Crunchyroll, but digital purchases are not going with it.. on the Anime board

    @bigsocrates said:When a company like Microsoft even makes noise about changing its Xbox operations people immediately worry about their digital purchases, and with good reason. There's already a pre...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic Microsoft is reportedly going to put a bunch of "exclusives" out on PS5. Is MS inevitably going third party?. on the Xbox Series X/S board

    @zombiepie said:In the case of Valve, they are attempting to create hardware wherein they can still claim their software or OS works best there, but they are already sounding the alarm that they are ...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic I'm the least enthusiastic about gaming that I've been in many years and I'm not sure why. I miss being enthralled.. on the General Discussion board

    Yeah I find "take a break from gaming" just doesn't work for me. What helps is to appreciate different aspect of the game (for example gameplay does next to nothing for me now, so I focus more on sto...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic It makes sense but I'm a little sad that Giant Bomb seems to have abandoned the "Quick Look" term. on the General Discussion board

    My favourite types of Quick Looks were "first look" type of things where the staff were launching the game for the first time and discovering what it is along with viewers (ie me).Of course the inter...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic Riven, Cyan's Obscure Masterpiece; or, The Third School of Puzzle Design. on the Riven: The Sequel to Myst board

    One of the most disappointing sequel of all time? It's super pretty to look at even today, but the puzzles are just bonkers nonsense. I don't remember the specifics but I remember having to look up so...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic What was the first videogame you played?. on the General Discussion board

    Antarctic Adventure probably. Simplistic by today's standards and very much eclipsed by its way-superior sequel Penguin Adventure (the best game Hideo Kojima was ever involved in making if you ask me)

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic Cocoon is the 25th selection of the UUGPGC. Finish by December 4. Spoilers open!. on the Cocoon board

    Cocoon falls in the (perhaps lesser) category of more "exploratory" puzzle game than actual puzzle-solving puzzle game. I never got stuck or not know where to go, which is a testament to its design an...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic The new Forza Motorsport is very well made but unbelievably dry and flavorless. on the Forza Motorsport board

    I agree with OP's sentiment that it's pretty dry and lacks any sort of personality - though I must admit that I'm not a car guy. I was hoping they'd finally fix the 3rd person camera or add an option ...

  • goosemunch posted a message on the post Discord Town Hall 10/27/23.

    Aren't townhall questions supposed to be about the site? Why did this turn into Voicemail Dumptruck?

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic What's the Greatest Video Game: The Dig. on the The Dig board

    Yeah The Dig might be my least favourite LucasArts adventure game.A lot of puzzles in this game are too abstract "puzzley" and don't feel natural or fit into the story (which is weird since other Luc...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic An ageing gamer: The eyes go first. on the General Discussion board

    Eyesight isn't a problem for me but reaction time absolutely is. 50~100ms slower than the average player if I had to take a wild stab. Some games are just physically impossible (if they require quick ...

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic That’s Good, That’s Bad: SIGNALIS. on the General Discussion board

    The limited inventory thing was really baffling.Not necessarily the stringent number of slots, but rather how useless it made some items and took me out of the experience. Of course I'm always gonna ...

  • goosemunch posted a message on the post Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp.

    I get what Dan and Jeff are saying about Advance Wars series getting straight to gameplay without all the character fluff in contrast to Fire Emblem... but for me a strategy game (especially single-p...

  • goosemunch posted a message on the post We Checked Out the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

    I'm glad to see they added recipe book.That was one of my complaints in the first game. I didn't remember any of the required ingredients so I just stuck to 1 or 2 dishes I know and random crap that ...

    @thebigzed said:R!I also love how we went from Dan being "I think this game is awesome!" to Jeff saying "This game sucks!" in just a few episodes.R . Well, tbf, Bakalar always says "This game sucks...

  • goosemunch posted a message on the post Play it Forward - 03.

    Listening to Rorie's anecdotes during production of this game instantly made this video one of my favourites in recent years.

  • goosemunch posted a message in the forum topic Indie Game of the Week 301: Psychonauts 2. on the Psychonauts 2 board

    yeah I thought it controlled fine for the most part, but as the OP pointed out, having to constantly swap out powers was annoying as heck.
