Giant Bomb |OT32| I've been meaning to love a boat

is EA the worst when it comes to marketing

they sent illegal weapons to outlets for the Godfather game

they did those Battlefield 1 memes and used Child's Play to promote DLC for that F2P Battlefield

at the very least, Dante's Inferno had the worst marketing of any game ever

you had the Sin to Win bullshit, the fake protests over the game, and them literally sending 200 dollars to journalists
 
Wait so why was it ok for brad to do the raid before they streamed it but they were upset that Dan wanted to do it by himself too? I must have missed something with that conversation.

They will be way better off having a few people that have done the raid already, the mechanics of certain rooms are surprisingly complex and hard to just explain.
 
I said it once and I'll say it again
Terminator and Alien are exactly the same
First one is a fantastic horror movie, second one a good action movie, third one a passable if divisive movie movie and everything else is garbage and it get's only worse the more they want to get into the "lore" of those universes.

Stop it, stop making Terminator and Alien movies.
Just stop it

I would take an Alien isolation 2 tho

Edit: Holy shit, I didn't see the Demo Derby. That couldn't be more perfect right now, I'm dying of boredom.

Brad had to for the review, but I don't see the point of holding Dan back anyway.

Abby also did at least some of the raid, so they were never going to get 6 people going in fresh - and given the type of mechanics involved, its probably best they all know at least something.
 
Wait, what is happening @ Ubisoft?

Game.

Saw that it was from the Dead Space guys.

Gameplay is fine, but the art is and general realization of medieval hell is spectacular and well worth the ride.

I remember that, it's like the worst part of the game where they seemed to be out of time/money and just threw a bunch of dreary timed combat arenas at you. I want to say the Ryan's problem here is that he'd specced primarily on the scythe/unholy tree, while the cross/holy attacks are vastly more useful most of the time.

they sent shell casing in raw fucking meat for Bulletstorm

and also caused traffic jams across north London on a Monday morning by offering free petrol for Mercenaries 2

EA is just shit at publishing
 
Hmm, there's a section in the odyssey previews that looks suspiciously
fludd
-like.

I don't think this game can be goty anymore guys.

Game has been getting mario sunshine comparisons too. D:

What does this mean exactly. For starters, Odyssey actually tells you how to play the dang game, which is something I feel people struggle with in Sunshine
Or at least a certain Alex does
. There's button input UI abound in every video I've seen.

The NPCs look helpful too, or at the very least, seem effective in giving players hints at what they have to do.

But a Mario Sunshine made with modern sensibilities could be a fantastic game.
 
So here's a fun thing I realized when looking at that spreadsheet I made to respond to Cairnsay: things are gonna be a lot rougher in Steal My Sunshine from now on.

Levels marked with red in that spreadsheet are notoriously difficult ones. The next Ricco Harbor level is such a level, so they'll likely hit that soon if they want to wrap it up before moving on. They have 2 levels in Sirenna Beach (the first of which is a Secret level to begin with) before they encounter one. Even worse, Noki Bay and Pianta Village (the areas they've done the least) both only have a single level between where they are now and one of those levels.

Obviously, they can do hidden Shines and 100 coin Shines to mix things up. And supposedly only 1 of the 6 remaining Delfino Plaza Shines is bad (though that's apparently the worst thing in the game), so as long as they don't do that they'll have some filler.

But even with that picking levels is going to be a minefield from here on out, particularly as they also have 3 Secret levels left - one each for Sirena Beach (the Casino), Noki Bay, and Pianta Village - as well as having to get red coins for those 3 levels and 6 others as part of the hidden Shines.

they're going to die
 
Hope Drew has a good time in brazil.

Also it could be good to get some coverage on the completely absurd and unfair prices practiced here for gaming products in general.
Not sure if that's outside the scope of clothmap's work.
