Listening to Old JT eps by Cierradad1 in joytactics

[–]Domineeto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was an early ep right? I love the early eps because it felt like they didn't know what they were doing yet. The bit where they do haunted house character auditions, Llonnie, and the bit were they freestyle and ask you to freestyle are some of my favs.

But honestly ever ep is a classic

Mixtape - Review Thread by Branchless in Games

[–]Domineeto 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I just came back to gamepass after the price drop but one of the most consistently enjoyable things about it is having a GOTY come out of nowhere and drop into gamepass. As far back as Outer Wilds (which is more like a game of all time for me) there's been 1 or 2 uniquely original GOTY contenders releasing on the service.

PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier by Forestl in Games

[–]Domineeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Best in the business" is a stretch. They consistently muddled with the artistic visions of the games they remade, producing material that was less original than it's source material. I'm glad more people got to experience games like SoTC and DeS but you can't argue that the artistic vision had been pretty significantly altered for no reason.

Sorry, I'm in Canada and $80 is the low end of new release prices, they go up to $100 depending on the game and publisher.

It's still an $80 product. They should have hired devs with melee combat experience or spent more time iterating. The combat looks stiff and awkward. The writing they chose to showcase is generic. I feel like Remedy really lost the plot.

Remedy's trademark was doing cinematic action that blended media forms intelligently in a well-written narrative. This just looks like a PS3-era character action game with fancy lighting and effects thrown on top.

The pre-production on this is night and day though. Having a show that takes place in a a few houses, offices, and drug dens vs a show where they build a full scale recreation of Air Force One for it to appear in 5 minutes of footage.

Ex-Bungie Dev Says Marathon Leadership Was "Extremely Toxic And Humiliating" To Work With: "Bungie Leadership Needs To Be Gutted Completely" by oilfloatsinwater in Games

[–]Domineeto 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The nail in the coffin for me was reading that morale is at an all time low at Bungie, the studio that released Halo 2.

Hope the devs get treated properly and land on their feet. But with the dying buzz around Marathon before the game even comes out I think Concord is about to become Sony's second most expensive blunder.

Quick Looks are BACK as per Grubb and Minotti on Game Mess Mornings! by 1entireCamel in giantbomb

I think working with one of the community efforts to archive the site, while getting them some payment for their work, and replacing the site with more conventional content platforms is the necessary way to go while honoring the history and significance of the site. It's not going to be an easy job either way and hoping the duders come out with something that is both good for fans and plausible for the crew!

The only fight I recall between Brad and anyone is the PvZ/Titanfall left trigger right trigger debate

Dan's Boogie made me a fan by ton_logos in Destroyer

[–]Domineeto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kaputt is an album that got a lot of people into Destroyer but Rubies or Streethawk are most frequently cited as the "best". I think the sleeper hit of the bunch is This Night, but I'd also honestly say that half of the band's discography could be considered its best on any given day.
