Heh. I know Abby and Alex have both lived in NYC for many, many years... but not getting the concept of a buttered roll is the best example yet of "you think you're a New Yorker, but people who grew up here are always gonna be a *bit* suspicious of your bona fides."
@sethmode: To be fair it took me 5 seconds to create the account. I'm also not trolling, I'm simply saying that respected or not, 60% is a crock of shit score, and indeed I did check to see the lowest review, because of reasons I stated earlier and it's almost always the case. They want people to make new accounts and bitch- it drives traffic. That's my whole damn point. Obviously, this is your go to source and that's okay because it's okay to have a safe space. Also, before I go play this amazing game; what exactly does the circumstances that led to the creation of this site have anything to do with anything I'm mentioning?
Yes, you're trolling. You literally just described trolling. Here's two things you don't seem to have the capacity to understand or recognize:
1) The definition of trolling.
2) What frame rate drops look like
I'm playing on an X with an external ssd with 3.1 usb. Frame rate drops and load times are both an issue. It's not a "bad box." It's your bad faith argument made specifically to troll and attack the writer because you don't like a score. Get out of here with that preteen b.s.
@two_socks: Seriously. Just this YEAR Debra Wilson has been in:
Far Cry New Dawn Days Gone Rage 2 Wolfenstein: Youngblood Remnant: From the Ashes Gears 5 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare The Outer Worlds AND this game. If you're a big game that released in 2019 and didn't have her doing voice work, you're in the minority.
There's been a lot of research on stretching and almost zero findings of any correlation between stretching and reduced injuries or increased recovery times. "I definitely notice it works when I stretch" is exactly the kind of statement you'd expect with the placebo effect.
...That being said, I still do some light dynamic stretching before a hard workout and some longer static stretches after. Cause who cares if it's a placebo if it FEELS like it works. So much of exercise is getting yourself in the right headspace-- like, for example, making a fun game of it. (Or a really fun QL.)
Huh, they not only paid for the real bowlers; those are the real PBA announcers too. Rob Stone (the lead guy) is the one who came up with "Hambone" for 4 strikes back when he worked for ESPN.
This was a very fun mess and I laughed a ton. But I'm going to pass on this Party Pack. I'm sure Push the Button is more fun if you have 5-8 players who know what they're doing, but mostly I take the Jackbox games out at parties where like half the people playing have never seen these before. Under those conditions I don't think any of this batch are that great.
Adding my voice to the chorus: This was fascinating and thanks so much for posting.
Also, this video is a nice quick referral for anyone asking the question "Why does GB only publish x hours of content per week?" Because oh boy does even this small portion seem extremely involved, not to mention all the prep time before you even get to this point.
TL;DR: The dev, Her Interactive, pretty much only made these games for two decades, and made a LOT of them, at least 2 per year from 1998-2015. But it struggled to adapt to the changing industry (esp mobile and steam) and laid off most of its creative staff in 2015. The latest one has been "coming soon" for 4 years.
Oh, and for the person who asked, there was one Hardy Boys game like this developed by Her Interactive for the DS in 2009. Never had a sequel. A couple other devs tried around the same time but none seemed to go anywhere.
