I need a tablet with a microSD slot for less than $300. Suggestions?

Austin got the cat. I got the cat too. It's a good cat.

The cat is the best!

Unfortunately no. Adding friends in Mitomo is the part of the process that sucks. You either have to be recommended from inside the app, mutual twitter followers, Facebook friends or add each other in person. It's dumb.

Anyone else having issues with the site? First it was giving me an error when I tried to watch MGS now I can't even get connected.

Both the site and Metal Gear Scanlon are working for me. I'm on mobile if that makes a difference.

 

[pizzacat]

Haha just saw it never mind

 

[jaina]

I see Antiwhippy quickly moved on from writing our thread titles to show titles at GB.

 

[Tagyhag]

Damn, didn't think about Dan not being back by the time they do the Vive stream. Hope he makes it, his enthusiasm helps showcase VR, even with the mediocre Oculus games.

Drew seems really peppy this episode

He sees the light. V really sucked out his soul from the entire series.

 

[yami4ct]

Given his tone as of late, it seems even Dan's enthusiasm for VR is fading.

It has.


We'll see what the Vive launching does

 

[yami4ct]

Nothing from the Vive lineup has any more pep than the Oculus one. First one to have complete software seems to the PSVR, but even that is pretty thin. Golem looks down right bad and unfun.

I'm still holding out (insane) hope that L4D3 will drop on Wednesday.

 

[daydream]

i think i added you, bowlie, but anyway, here's my twitter for you miitomo cats

twitter.com/daydreamgaf

vive stream is great news

 

[yami4ct]

Do you really think L4D3 is a VR game? Valve seems to have (correctly) concluded that you can't shoehorn a traditional shooter into VR. It's why HL3 (If it ever exists) probably won't be VR unless there are amazing revelations about how to replicate traditional mechanics without making people puke.

 

[Zekes!]

I'm stuck in Miitomo

fake edit: How's Chapter 2 of Metal Gear Scanlon V been?

 

[derFeef]

No Killer Instinct coverage? All the SFV problems and they never hit on KI Season 3 or the PC release. Such a good fighting game.

 

[soundscream]

I was on mobile also. Funny my tablet which wasn't able to let me sign in for the past two months just let me sign in. So who knows.

 

[hamchan]

You should look at the schedule.

QL on the schedule

 

[jaina]

I think the Vive software on launch will be inherently better because devs can assume that all owners have the motion controllers (and lighthouse). Similar to how the Kinect-less Xbone killed Kinect games, the later launch of Oculus Touch as peripheral harmed the Oculus software.

QL on the schedule

Oh? Not showing up for me but good news!

 

[jaina]

It's been pushed below the fold by all the content.
API access to the schedule shows KI Season 3 for Sunday 6am PDT.

But having movement controls won't make so-so games great. Alot of the vr launch line up seem to be hi res Wii mini game collections.

Came to ask about this. My ps4 keeps having intermittent problems loading vids, sometimes get an error message. Stay logged in tho. What gives? Anyone know?

 

[yami4ct]

I expect to see even more of those on Vive.

The big game that Vive evangelists seem to have been pushing is Job Simulator. Well that game's cute, it certainly aint no system seller.

Have you played Budget Cuts? That was a game that left enough of an impression on me that I could see myself playing for enough hours like a "regular" game.

Either way, GiantBomb acknowledges that this is after all a launch lineup, and launch lineups are almost always mediocre, and that's on systems that don't have new factors to play with.

 

[jaina]

I have seen Budget Cuts on Tested, it's a good launch game (albeit being short and with limited replay value). Job Simulator I think I've seen but don't remember any of it.

No. I haven't. I'm certain it's good, but given the state of VR, it isn't 'buy a $700 accessory' good.

I think given the power required to even play these games and the cost of the devices, they deserve the extra scrutiny they're getting over regular launch lineups. Regular consoles also usually have games you can point to in the next year to two that you can bet are going to be impressive. VR doesn't have that yet.

I also think it's worth discussing whether VR at room scale is even a viable idea currently.

 

[repeater]

So is this MGS episode unfucked yet? Jason?! JAAson! Jason!

 

[NumberThree]

What time is the Vive stream (their time)? 10 am?

 

[Anjin M]

I have a Hong Kong Playstation and a Play Asia account now. Just thought everyone should know.

 

[jaina]

7am their time. (shows 4pm for my CET)

You said as much in the PS4 community, so I already knew

 

[NumberThree]

Cool, so it's the same as last time. I can watch the first five or so hours just fine.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Has either coast said anything about a Hyper Light Drifter QL? I'm tempted.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

East already did one

 

[Maiden Voyage]

East already did one

I mean post-release. They did an Unfinished 18 months ago.

2/5 Quantum Break from Jeff is loooooooooow.

I really did expect at least a 3/5 from Remedy.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nah, saw that coming. Once he described the gunplay I knew that he wouldn't like it.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oh....I guess I confused into the space for it

 

[hamchan]

Sometimes you can't tell. We all thought he would give the Division a low score based on what he was saying but that got a 4/5.

Though Quantum Break always did look super rough based on Drew's footage.

 

[Meneses]

I was convinced both Quantum Break and The Division would be getting 3/5, I was wrong both times.

 

[Tubobutts]

What if Jeff's review is one of those sick Giant Bomb April Fools pranks you guys?

 

[hamchan]

Cue "Jeff hates what he does why doesn't he just quit uhhhhhh" posts.

Happens every review thread.

 

[Fjolle]

Review thread is already good. Mod intervention on post 50.

At least he's not an outlier this time.

He said he liked shooting the guns in the division, so I knew that it wouldn't be that low.

 

[Myggen]

The devs at Beamdog (Baldur's Gate remakes) always give a nod to the GB crew in their Steam Store screenshots

 

[Tubobutts]

Gerstmann is always taking 1 slashing damage from Wights.

 

[Guess Who]

i've been laughing about "what a time to be a vive" for the past six hours send help

 

[Volotaire]

`Love it.
