I dunno about "on a daily basis"....
Like I'm more sensitive to over-talk of wrestling than most here and I haven't really noticed that much coverage of WWE.

The site as a whole as slowed down the wrestling coverage a lot but good look finding any kinda of GBE content where Dan doesn't make at least one mention or reference to Wrestling/WWE.
WWE are garbage people, Vince is a bad person but people try to hold Dan to account for WWE's sins which I think is kind of shitty given plenty of staff members enjoyed their content regularly after Vince McMahon potentially helped cover up a murder (amongst a million other shitty things), which is a fairly well known story in the fanbase.
I enjoy wrestling and WWE creatively on occasion. Being a shitty company doesn't really change that, even if I wanted it to.
The Saudi stuff pushes that boundary far too hard given the impact it has not only on the shows themselves but also the treatment of the wrestlers. The first one was pretty sickening to watch.
Anyway, the trial of Dan is boring.

Yeah I didn't mean that to be a grill dan thing. Just found it funny that giantbomb got brought up separate from this thread on this topic *shrug*
It's just a funny mix of our own circle with something very serious in current affairs.
I also genuinely don't think they really talk about it that much outside of the quick look. Not recently anyway.

Speaking of questionable companies. Star Citizen is adding head(ala trackIR) and facial animation tracking that works with webcams. They're also making their own webcam. At one point I think they were working on a branded joystick but MadCatz went into bankruptcy. Man, what if they manage to pull it off and not turn into a total train wreck when they launch.
My only problem with Dan compared to the others is when he starts going into the "Vince is a genius man and my idol but also he's a bad guy but still he's the best" stuff.
24 hours of GOTY talk intertwined with a laugh track (or audience reactions) sounds miserable, and also what I now want for this years upcoming GOTY discussion.
Do you know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot.
Vince McMahon is currently in the process of putting a bid together for Giant Bomb to expand their video game coverage.
it's against all odds pretty fun to watch, except for the bits where dan gets audibly frustrated but is trying not to show it
The game is like 3x too long with shitty filler, so I will be right there with him.
Been a Yakuza fan since the first on the PS2, but that's a series that needs some streamlining.
Nah they like they filler, it's the gameplay that Dan doesn't like.
Which I honestly agree with.

User Banned (3 Days): Inflammatory generalizations about the Japanese
I mean the combat gets tedious towards the end, but I only ever focus on the main story.
I don't want to date cyber girls and see my rank go up with hostess girls so I can have a cheeky wank. Japan is weird and some right sad cunts must play these games for sexual gratification.
Yeah you'd find that's the stuff they like the most lol. They do really like the main story too.
Honestly playing through FotNS and I realise that, while FotNS is not exactly the same combat system, I think I'm just done with Yakuza style combat.

How odd.
Yakuza is still fun but deffo needs a bit of a revamp. I'm looking forward to playing 6 but it will be more of the same.
(2 > 1 > 4 > Zero > 5 > > > > > 3 > Dead Souls)

Yakuzas combat is alright, but considering those games are 50 hours long and they are in their 6th installment it easily gets long in the tooth.
Just like combat in many other open world games doesn't hold up until the end.
Though Yakuza has a lot of combat. Maybe fewer, but more interesting encounters could fix the tedium a bit.

Science has already proven Arkham to be the best. You can't argue with science.
At least now you can avoid the random encounters.
Being forced to them in 1 and 2 was fucking shiteeeee.
Has jeff every talked about the demoscene much?
Some of this stuff is cool as fuck

yakuza combat certainly looks and feels great. it plays like butt sometimes though.
i said this last time this came up but i actually like sleepy dogs combat more mechanically, except that sleepy dogs combat feels and looks like butt compared to yakuza's ripping impact sounds and effects

I like the shorthand, though it can be a bit reductive a times.
It's hard to summarize stuff like UI changes because it's mostly small adjustments that are not worth mentioning individually but make a huge difference in agregate.
I recently went back to Medieval II. The UI and control changes modern Total War make are huge but i couldn't tell you individually what all the improvements are, even though they make a huge difference in playability. It goes from keyboard shortcuts, to the way you control the camera with your mouse, to small UI adjustments etc.
But that's like 10 years of iteration. Stuff from one entry to the next is much less obvious, even though it's still improvements.
I hope so too, but I'm still not sure if I could stomach 24 hours of GB West unless they have cool guests on...
Non 24 hour streams are no fun. There's nothing quite like having a bunch of sleep deprived, drunk people getting very sentimental.
We've had almost 10 years of non-stop Arkham combat from western devs. It's so boring.
I think you could just say "nice/welcome improvements in [x, y, ...]". Or if you want something broader there are any number of ways to say the same thing.
Oh, hey, that shit I was bitching about in here a week ago is getting air play. Neat.
Yeah, but beyond it annoying you personally, what is wrong with referring to it as quality of life? Something annoying you does not mean it should be removed from the lexicon. It is a you problem not a lexicon problem.
Rockstar has a problem.
And that's why it's so good! It's about style rather than killing a bunch of weak enemies that you could defeat either way.
I really do want to play RDR2 but I'm not sure I can continue to support Rockstar with this shit.
Devs need to unionise industry wide.
Devs need to unionise industry wide.
The way Arkham Origins scores you after each fight contributes to that and is part of what makes it the best one. You don't wanna win, you wanna get a high score.
As to that other thing, gross.
Don't care how amazing this game is I'd prefer an industry where shit like that doesn't happen.
I mean am I literally demanding this? No. Yes it is just annoying to me, and I would assume I am not the only one. But this happens all the time where games media latches on to a term, run it until the ground, and then look back and wish they hadn't. See "ludonarrative dissonance" and "visceral". And certain genre descriptors.
But you told me!
Lol get more defensive. I was just asking for some reasoning beyond "I don't like this common phrase". You don't have any. You are confirmed as a bad poster.
In other news I think I'm gonna clear all three major quest lines in ACOd in 55 hours. Only 15 of the you-know-whats left. This is efficiency, people.
...Which is good because, again, the scaling and difficulty of this game is wack. I'm far too overpowered now and it's not even challenging anymore. At worst the tankiest enemies just need a Hero Strike, an Overpower, and then I slash 'em a few times. They really needed some time to tighten this thing up more, but maybe it's just too big for that.
