Mario Odyssey looks nuts and I can't wait to see the opening that Brad described.

FUZION FRENZY!

Bill Gates's absolute favorite game of all time.

 

[BTA]

Oh, heh, that Odyssey "spoiler" we were talking about earlier's totally in the video.

Guess the existent itself isn't something they care about hiding.

 

[Antiwhippy]

The call-in show is really coming into it's own. It's a joy to have another avenue for jeff just talking bout stuff.

Also so far no shitty callers which is surprising.

Yeah really enjoying them so far. Kind of like a Jar Time with someone else to bounce of off.

I watched this video and I can't even guess at what could be a spoiler.

Jeff really excited about that corn

Spoiler

There's a painting of Peach's castle that can be entered.

It's great. It helps that the latest one is about arcades, some good ass memories. Also, that moped gang call-in is a classic.

Started The Adventure Zone about a month and a half ago, and I have just one Bombcast-length episode left to go. I've enjoyed the whole thing but it really got better than I ever would have thought toward the end. Those frigging McElroys are infuriatingly talented.

I have... so very much GB stuff to catch up on. This has been the first time since before going premium in 2013 that I've actually missed the podcasts. (Though it's good timing as Destiny 2 the perfect kind of game to have GB #content accompaniment.)

I wouldn't mind it being played a little more straight, but I like the dumb Xbox event video. I always enjoy seeing the crew out and about.

Oh. So not a spoiler at all.

This is a family thread, bro. Let's keep it PG

Although I guess euphemisms are okay in PG stuff...ok I think we're good here

 

[bomma_man]

It's Turn Based Strategy not RTS.

I'm generally terrible at strategy games but I'm loving rabbids. It's more like a puzzle game really.

eeeeeeeeeeeh they're not sure if there's any non-motion control option

i'm not gonna swing my handheld-mode switch around fuck you reggie

This was brought up in a meeting. Guess what Reggie said?

REMEMBER THE WIIU?

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's kind of insane how much nintendo is killing it for the switch launch year.

I'm almost afraid of the eventual comedown. It's feeling too high right now.

 

[BTA]

I mean, there has to be at least an alternative style of motion control that isn't waggling. Jeff brings up the Pro controller but it's not like you can waggle that. Same for playing connected. I'm guessing it might just be shaking, though? Hmm.

what are you playing?

I played splatoon 2, and then I regretted Sonic Mania and it's been sitting there ever since, and was sitting there in between games too

[alr1ght]

The guy that directed Destiny 2 coined the waggle term. Think about that.

 

[Blitzrules240]

I hope Odyssey can be played handheld.

That was my plan...

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Oh. So not a spoiler at all.

It's more what the spoiler implies that has people freaking out.

I'm sayuing.

That there has never been a better time to play videogames.

I'm getting a game a month for the Switch, which is pretty damn good.

Steal My Sunshine - Episode 10

Yoshi plays by his own rules. And those rules are bad.

 

[BTA]

Oh. So not a spoiler at all.

The preview that first hinted at it was like "it's going to blow your mind!!" and then people tried to do some detective work and found it and sorta built it up as a major spoiler.

Meanwhile it's apparently just another thing in the level.

Though its implications are neat of course.

 

[KingKong]

Its cute that they just took the stamina meter ui element from Zelda

 

[broncobuster]

I bought Zelda BOTW and I’m buying Mario Odyssey and after that I’m not sure what my third Switch game will be.

Still happy with it for those two games.

 

[Death Metalist]

i see you abby

Heat Signature sounds really cool


I have no time to play it. I already want to buy Cuphead and Gundam next week.

 

[Blitzrules240]

I knew that was gonna be the deck image for the episode when it happened lol.

Spoiler

Best episode of Steal My Sunshine because everyone breaks.

 

[Ashby]

lmao every game for Jeff is "yeah, people seemed to have really liked this game but me not so much"

 

[Twin Tails]

new watch face after i updated os

hey this looks good

that corn blew my mind

 

[BTA]

I have no time at all for Heat Signature but I'm gonna buy it and mess with it for an hour or two tomorrow because it seems rad and Tom Francis is cool.

I'm pretty sure there is, at least I know there is for rolling. Not sure about all the hat stuff.

Galaxy games had the exact same thing, it just looks cleaner/smaller here to fit with the other UI stuff.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Oh no that Tomb Raider movie is going to suuuuuuuuuck! I kinda thought just maybe they could make something interesting with that source material.

 

[Data West]

I can relate. People blow every new decent release out of proportion

 

[tesqui]

There is too much Mario being shown. Jesus I can't escape it if I try. I just want my first experience with it to be fresh and new. Stop showing everything Nintendo!

I don't remember this much pre release coverage of the Galaxy games.

Wait, did you expect it to be good?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Wait, did you expect it to be good?

No, but I didn't expect it to look Assassin's Creed bad!

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Xbox is having such a miserable year that I half expect Cuphead to not be particularly good despite looking great in previews. Ironically, the sidescrolling levels they added based on player feedback will be the weak link.

 

[Harpuia]

This is the nature of all video games, honestly. The goal of most marketing campaigns is closely tied with the idea of convincing you that if you're gonna drop cash on a game, it's going to be theirs.

There's also the whole aspect of having people justify their purchase and the time they spent with their game. It's so intertwined with games.

This may just be marketing in general, and the culture of a hype cycle, as well.

This is 100% my concern since they announced that. Never listen to the fans. Listening to fans is what killed Bioware.

 

[Hellsing321]

Mario Odyssey looks insane! INSANE! And you guys thought PUBG would be GOTY. Pssh.

 

[Basileus777]

This is 100% my concern since they announced that. Never listen to the fans. Listening to fans is what killed Bioware.

I'm pretty sure bad writing is what hurt recent Bioware efforts, I'm not sure how you think listening to fans is the source of that. Mac Walters pretty much killed the Mass Effect franchise.

everytime I see gameplay and I notice the shooting is just eight directions instead of fully directional I have second thoughts about the game.

 

[Data West]

I'm pretty sure bad writing is what hurt recent Bioware efforts, not sure how you think listening to fans is the source of that.

The awkward Tali romance angle was from fan feedback, Anders, Fenris, and Merrill were creations of trying to keep every romance obsessed Bioware social fan into Dragon Age.
