It's...fine. It's an escalating one in a line of many drunk scenes in games
It sure as shit is no God of War "Getting the thing" scene.
Nor the last act of Celeste.
Nor the final mission of Into the Breach.
Nor the chapter finales in Vampyr.
Nor the final act in Spider-Man.
Nor the general store scene in Life is Strange 2.

What is that in GoW? I only played it two months ago and already a lot of that game is a blur to me.
it's either the head or the GoW chain axes?
honestly the most memorable thing this year, that includes Giant Bomb
is Jeff and Dan getting into anime

Nintendo send out stuff pretty early don't they? They'll probably have smash soon. Not that it'll make a difference.
Oh man, Jeff ripping into RDR2 so hard and getting NOTHING in return on the Bombcast was funny. They didn't even acknowledge how he repeatedly said it feels like an old game at all lol
There's an extended sequence in God of War where you take a slow, ponderous rowboat and the character leans into his fists, watching the wildlife and the weather change into a fiery, red shape (including looking at the old games' Athena taunting you from the head of the canoe you're in) until you go back to the cabin and recover the old Blades of Chaos, relatively quietly working your way through icy enemies to get back to the main thrust of the game.
It's the really powerful moment of the game because it's a tacit admission that as much as the soft reboot wants to be a reboot...the past cannot truly be let go, and it surfaces in a gameplay sense, halfway through a 30-hour+ game. It's one of those very few things that a video game sequel is going to be better at than most other mediums.
Best music
Best moment
Best story
Best surprise
Best looking
Best styyyyyle
Please stop
Hottest mess
Worst game
Best game
Honestly it'd be cool if GoW takes best moment of the year. The whole game seems to have a whole lotta love given to it compared to RDR2, which looks to be a game that was just massively tested in and out until it hit R*s quality pole.
I don't even particularly like God of War much as a game overall, but I agree. There are particulars in a way that RDR2 is just broad.
Right.
Like, GoW is an attempt at making an established series completely different, and making it completely fresh in a way that can't be compared to previous games, and it's done in a way that's earnest.
RDR2 is taking RDR, and simply adding a bunch of stuff that they've added to their games throughout the years, and just more of RDR just more modern? Not a knock of it, but it's like...like I'd rather play GoW than RDR2 because its more interesting in alotta ways.
It's actually a pretty good description. I don't think anyone at Rockstar has played anything released since 2008. Probably because they're working 100 weeks.
I've got my gimmick idea planned
It'll be all of those categories plus an inverted dark world version of each
So worst moment, worst story, worst looking, and worst styyyyle are all going to show up.
Jeff was saying this as a negative???
This really bothered me in a mission I did yesterday.
I had to go steal an oil wagon and the place you're supposed to steal it from has two. So naturally I throw a fire bottle at one of them to act as a distraction, but it's just an automatic failure for destroying one of the wagons.
I didn't really like it.
It was inevitable it would happen, but it was a sign that the exciting reboot was slipping back further and further to the old formula which was getting rather dull by Ascension.
Yeah, hindsight is 20/20 and all, but "Giant Bomb | OT5 | Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor" is fucking embarrassing :(
Well, he means like 10 years old. Not 35, which would be good.
Maybe I'm not giving Jubbster enough credit
You can actually do a lot of fun things with that part of the mission because gunfire scares horses easily. It's actually a good example of the opposite of what you're using it to highlight.
Think like a cowboy
Here's the thing, we know the main character speaks, but we haven't heard the VO yet.
Based on how everything else has been handled so far, I'm guessing this is an unexploded land mine.

Oh man I'm still only now like half way through GoW, I'm a bit passed the "whoops, wrong mountain bro!" part, but if the moment you guys are referring to is the thing I think will have to happen I might lose my shit in a great way
GoW is one of those rare games that only improves the further along I get into the narrative
This will never not be hysterical

I'm still amazed how Rockstar's engine has got so much better over the years.
GTA3/VC/SA were just about average.
GTA4 & RDR were better looking but by no means the best of the gen.
GTA5 looked very good and was near the top tier last gen.
RDR2 is the first game in years to stun me graphically and is easily the best looker this gen.
And it's been without compromising world size along the way, too. Really impressive.

Hahaha, oh you.
We will talk about the Goty 2018 at least until E3, I expect the GotY 2019 talks to slowly ramp up shortly before that.
If we all work together I think it's possible to talk about GotY throughout the entire year, gang!
I feel like that one (assuming there's only one) was tuned to be more difficult, no one could figure it out, then they retuned it to be mindlessly easy, while keeping all of the esoteric mechanics in.
There's like... 3-4 tutorial pop-ups for a simple escort with no time pressure. It's silly.
Is "that Lenny scene" the drunk scene in a bar? Haven't played the game myself but a friend told me about it.
Yeah. That mission is a particular stand-out from others--if you look it up, you'd see why.
City folk don't understand animals
Some of the best emergent gameplay involves the animal AI. Most even.
That's the most discouraging thing anyone has said about RDR2 so far.
Broken karma system.
Broken bounty system.
Borderline broken weapon inventory.
Still GOTY until Hitman 2 comes out though.
No they are definitely broken.
Broken karma system: Mission giver tells you to do X but not kill anyone. You use your fists when they shoot at you. Negative karma for each KO.
Broken bounty system: Knock someone over by mistake, $70 dollar bounty. Do a heist with dozens of police killed, $30 bounty. Get caught by a sheriff in a Dead or Alive bounty area, surrender, go to jail for a day and pay a $13 bounty. Upon release, the area bounty is still Dead or Alive, as if the arrest didn't happen.
Borderline broken weapon inventory: Sometimes equip your weapons on the horse, get off, they've gone. Sometimes equip your weapons on the horse, get off, they've stayed. Sometimes equip your weapons on a horse, get off, you have them, start the mission, one is randomly missing for no reason.
The thought of anything in Celeste being called a 'best moment' is really funny

I forgot you can wear a bandana, do a crime, and somehow all the cops know you're ARTHUR MORGAN immediately.
Plus the game is totally inconsistent about which main story missions add to your bounty or just have no impact on it whatsoever.

While the bandana protects your identity, it doesn't stop them from recognising the outfit you're wearing, or horse you're riding.
But yeah it's very inconsistent, even knowing that. The trigger for getting a bounty might as well be a dice roll for how inscutable it is.

I did!
Think I stopped towards the end of the wind level. Wholly unenjoyable experience.
