Giant Bombcast 752: Slob on my Gog

Fort, nite?

What monster would book Dan for their child's birthday?!

Not enough Willy Beamish talk.

So, they rebooted Saints Row back to the first game on 360 also being full of bugs.

any idea why this is talking literally hours to download, from both itunes and the site?

Anyone else having this issue, in australia, if that helps.

The opening with everyone geeking out about Fortnite skins was kind of hard to listen to. Epic's strategy of never creating anything new themselves is still working I guess.

That said, Sekiro is indeed amazing. I played 150 hours of Elden Ring and 40 of Sekiro, but I would still say I prefer the latter.

I wonder if Saints Row has a system save and a game save, so restarting another game save carries over glitched settings from the system save?

I played a bunch of Willy Beamish, to the point you have to shoot a vampire bat, but I could never hit it without a light gun, so I was never able to progress past it. I still always think of the way they say "Colaaa!!!" though.

Panties panties panties panties

A Deep Legal Battle With Dorf

The idea of Dan as a kids entertainer makes complete sense to me. That was essentially his whole vibe during the Burgle My Bananas shop segments

Willy Beamish sounds like a fake game.

Thanks everyone for the great episode!

I think another part of the problem for Saints Row is that in the modern gaming space, older games are easier to find and play than ever. The Saints Row IV and the remastered version of Saints Row: The Third are not only better games, but both are also available on console stores for cheaper than what you would pay for the reboot. In fact, I think you might be able to get both of them for what you would pay for the new one.

Yeesh. More like "Game of the Weak"

edit: I'd also say that Bart Simpson is probably the real "Minions of the early 90's" in terms of market share.

@theonewhoplays: Never understood the take that fortnite makes nothing themselves. I won't go against anyone hating the popular thing that's always in your face. Those tend to just erk people when they can't jump on the train and "get" the appeal. Plenty hate Elden ring with a passion, I and many who couldn't click with the combat in sekiro bounced off, (gonna return one day).

But fortnite has a ton of original characters, a story, etc. Most of it stems from the idea that the multiverse cracks bring all these characters into their land. This was before multiverse got played out...like it kinda is now. Not a great excuse but I always get shocked that people kick epic for Fortnite adding value that you don't have to buy, constantly adding more, and allowing you to basically buy it for free if you just play the game. Further, they use some profits from the game to fund throwaway things like giving out free games each week, or supporting indie devs. Not saying their good or perfect, I just think they are a bit better than say EA or Konami at the moment. Also fair for once to see them not hating on the popular series for the time, that they didnt get into at release. They usually gush about games they found out and got popular later for comparison. Not hating on that, again something as usual as time, as usual as any popular series, game, movie, or song getting called overrated from someone who finds out later after all the hype.

Welcome back Dan!

@topcyclist: Very good take, EPIC has provided a sandbox/toybox just to have fun in and compete if that's your thing. Love or hate the combat, love or hate the skin money train, but seeing Cena and Guku do a fusion dance, Goku smacking fools with Cap's shield was amazing and fun to watch. Almost got me to play, I just can't do another battle pass grind.

Sounds like Grubb hasn't played PUBG in a while. They have Blackpink concerts in the game now. So I guess you could say it is more intense than it previously was 🤔

@bludgeoner86: Yeah seems like a lot of games are updated with the times, and many faults people had are fixed or changed. Fortnite on release had iffy controls, not bad just not good enough for what people wanted. Now they're really solid. The world is much more realized. But like all things people tire of it no matter how good it gets. Me included. That said I go back from time to time, but there were times when it got super fun to just go...ok ill give it another match...Plus there are tons of non-competitive games to play and chill with. I think PUBG had this deep competition with Fortnite for stealing its lunch in the past but they really were different things...much like souls likes are different. PUBG tried to backpedal into wacky but it personally doesn't fit the aesthetic. It was hit you with a frying pan wacky not Forza motorsport, colors all around, do TikTok dances while teleporting cause a multiverse opened and Goku's here wacky. I think they shouldn't push away their audience.

Hope they try the Martin Luther King Jr. Special Event in Fortnite, it's amazing man!

You know, after the last 3 weeks, the staff should say "X wont happen from the 'Luigi Grubb'" to ENSURE it also happens over and over again the day after!

ive said it before, i'll say it again, sekiro is a rhythm game way moreso than other fromsoft and once i started thinking of each battle in the same way you learn a song it got so much easier

There's a dude that made a cat game with nearly identical controls to mario oddessy, so dan it's entirely possible to make games more like mario etc...dude did it in dreams game...im guessing people dont cause their afraid or try and get alot of exec meddling or think they can do better and try there own thing...Wish more games just felt like mario lol easy money.

i feel like there should be some kind of comment in response to the hollow knight remark so here it is

A friend and I really like the new Saints Row but yes, the bugs are what is really holding it back. A lot of them are really rotten. One even broke a mission that we had to retry a few times for it to work properly.

Remove all the bugs and it's a game that, I think, is better than 3 but not as good as 2. It makes a really bad first impression since I think the opening is really weak but once you decide to form the Saints the game really takes off.
