Oh man this had me shouting at the screen worse than a Layton Quick Look .
In the 14 shots challenge: Hits every shot too long. Keeps moving precision cursor past hole anyway.
Speaks to Archeologist has digging wedge equipped: "I need to find something to dig with".
Right at start shows off the power bracelet he's bought from the 2nd pro shop: Completes quest, is told to buy power bracelet. Goes to pro shop "I don't see anything new here".
I've been amongst those who've levelled criticism at Dan for playing too much on his 'heel' persona rather than his real one. So it's only fair that I say thank you for to taking on the feedback and toning it down. I felt like it made a real difference to my enjoyment of the episode
I'm no XCOM player, so I can't comment on the quality of the play / understanding of the mechanics; but what I can say is that this was one of the most absorbing episodes and had me hooked as it reached it's climax.
It's been grating on me for a while, but I'm now truly fed up of Dan's 'Heel' persona. Ever since the beginning, part of what made Giant Bomb tick for me was that it was a personality driven website and you always felt that what you saw was real people reacting and interacting as real people do. With Dan, I rarely feel like I'm seeing a real person because he continually treats everything like it's wrestling and therefore needs his heel character and it gives the impression of a room full of real people and one scripted actor.
He's a talented writer and has put a lot of thought and effort into features on both coasts and that's why I find the character so frustrating because the person is far more likeable. It reminds me of my circle of friends maturing except for one person who still acted like he did ten years earlier. It meant that he was doing things that he thought were hilarious but to everyone else had just become tedious.
I find myself watching less and less content that he's in which is a shame because the rest of the team have been killing it lately.
I don't like that I've effectively joined the dog pile, but watching this episode has bought me to my limit.
I'm only halfway through but this really does feel like a throwback to the old Whisky Media Days. Just friends shooting the shit and having a good time.
I'm not going to repeat what's been said a hundred times before, but I really hope that the feedback is read and considered in the spirit intended as a lot of it is genuinely constructive .
Something about the camera angle/movement combined with the tunnels immediately made feel queasy. Had to stop watching because of it just a couple of minutes in.
Odd, as I've never had that happen with any other game.
