Giant Bombcast 533: We've Got the Truck Stick!

It's a shame Patrick casually hand-waved the technical issues in SoD 2 and presenting a false choice between 'safe' & less bugs vs 'ambitious' & buggy.

There's a reason that GOTY 'Please Stop' winner has multiple times been about broken/unfinished games/post-game apologies.

Scoooooooooops!

@kyledmclark: so does every one including me and you. I try to stop myself but they still slip through.

I really disliked Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and from the looks of it CoD BLOPs 4 will bring back the "preset specialist" system which turned me off IW. I know that 'sirens call' of Overwatch was strong two years ago, but CoDs gameplay does not & did not fit Overwatch stylistic choices. Overwatch worked for Overwatch's gameplay...that about it.

I don't mind lost of modes that change the rules, but one of the nice things about CoD in many of the modern games was MAKING you own character - choosing a face, choosing how they were dressed, and choosing their skills.

I have to agree with Jeff; I never understood the fascination with zombies in COD or in the various other games. The only zombie game I somewhat got into was Dying Light.

State of Decay 2; switch to offline mode in gameplay menu to be able to PAUSE the game.

That might be the worst idea ever uttered on any message board on this website. Ever.

Well, except for having Vinny come back. That dude can do as many podcasts as he wants.

Okay -- segment of the year, [at least scooter segment of the year], had me rolling on the floor:

Jeff: "Who the fuck carries around a scooter helmet, no, its a $3 scooter rental; ...bike shops have signs up saying $200 fine for no helmets, our rental scooters have helmets!. Fucking dumb!".

Followed a minute later by:
Jeff: "Holy shit it was scary, there is going to be an accident, someone's going to get hurt, and I was on a bike path! I cant imagine being in the road!!!".

hmmm... maybe you should have a helmet? ha-ha

Patrick has a kid now?????? Cha!

Good to see Patrick back, always missed him and Jeff chewing the fat over developer rumors. They can really stretch out a conversation on COD though.. ?
