The "hit the deck" thing works because soldiers are usually wearing gear and surrounded by brush/debris/uneven terrain so dropping down prone absolutely does mitagate a fuck ton of damage.

I don't skip voiced dialogue. The reason I probably beat it so fast because i upgraded the base archetype for every character fully and then switched to others based on thier beat base stats.
Hearing how much Bob struggle with DD2 stealth missions made me chuckle a little. I would just walk in, make sure they weren't looking my way, then go and talk to the dude. Then I just run out of there. If I get caught I just kept running for a bit until they lost agro then went back in, no issues. However, quest system is ass and honestly the worst part of that game for me. It'll give you a quest and tell you nearly nothing about how to do it in the log book. The most egregious thing however is the main plot because its just ass. My friend who beat the game told me where I'm at in it was near the end and I just stopped playing because it felt like it just skipped several arcs to be where it was ending up DD2 is a fine game. Combat was enjoyable enough for me to play 80 hours. Can't really say more than that.
I really don't want to be mean, but hearing how he plays Rise of the Ronin and DD2, it's like he fundamentally misunderstands how the games work. Like I'm sorry, you can play a game wrong and he seems to do it a LOT. That quest system IS ass though and the story kinda goes nowhere in DD2.
I think a fair bit of it is how he goes in with certain expectations. With DD2, he played the first one, and it was kind of a janky mess but it had some fun combat stuff that had a little bit of character action spice sprinkled into its janky RPG core. I think when he went into DD2 he expected a much bigger focus on the character action elements he enjoyed and ended up mostly disappointed by what he played. In summary, I think he went in expecting a Character Action game with janky RPG elements but instead got a janky RPG with some Character Action elements.
@SkyfireHero and that's honestly totally fair. I was kinda the same in that regard because I did feel like it was missing something that the first game had. For me, it wasn't enough to stop. Only when I learned the story goes nowhere did I drop it. My comment about how I found it amusing he had trouble with the "stealth" was more intended as me having a different experience than him
Where does Dan get the numbers for "double the industry firings" of last year? I tallied it up on wikipedia, and it was only about 50% increase (~10k vs ~15k).
24:23 Im down for whatever FromSoft has next. I especially look forward to the next Armored Core, hell bring back out of left field shit too like that one Ninja Gaiden game they had back in the day Team Ninja sure as hell isn't gonna do one any time soon lol
I'm glad there was a Mouthwashing acknowledgement in the Podlords. Slay the Princess is a similar but deeper hole to traverse, though one full run is only a little longer than Mouthwashing. On the topic of horror walking sims and visual novels from this year, I gotta' push Anthology of the Killer. It's not as "good" as the above two and far less recognized, but I love it for its vibes. Probably about a Mouthwashing and a half in length, maybe two.
Need to get to Anthology of a Killer. thecatamites is a unique voice in the indie scene and I wish they got more exposure from UA-cam and the like. I think Thorhighheels might've covered the game at least.
Two notes/comments about Dynasty Warriors: 9 had Day 1 Chinese Dub. I am worried the amount of weapons in Origins won't be enough and I will end up getting bored with the combat and not having as many tools as I would like to have. We will see once we have access to all 9(?) weapons in the game.
Starfield also did that “pay us extra even though you have game pass ultimate to play it at the actual release date” but I’m pretty sure it was only $30 so they’re asking for *more* to play a (I would imagine) *shorter* game “early”.
2:29:45 That's largely normal. I think DQ9 and maybe 10 are the only ones to let you customize the main character 2:31:55 DQ 5 is indeed the Goat, and 6 is figuratively and literally between 5 and 7 3:39:15 Podlords. Also send Dan support for his manual labor 4:06:40 But Dan, Unity had to own the chuds even if it meant crashing out
MK1's third season getting canned makes a whole lot of sense, they have more or less given up on the game and now it's essentially just a monetization tool for whales trying to get terrible skins in invasion mode. They did a single year of Pro Kompetition with pitiful prizing that ended in June, and it's almost 2025 and we haven't a single word on there being anything else.
Hard Mountain Dew is OK. It tastes like sugar-free Mountain Dew, not much like alcohol. Only 5% ABV though so the value proposition on "how much you'd need to drink to feel anything" is not very good.
Dan describing a "stealth mission" where I literally just walked in and talked to the guy felt surreal. There was no "caught" for me I just held forwrd
I tried the Dynasty Warriors demo on PC and I couldn't get it to run at a consistent 60. I have a fairly high end PC and a 2070. I feel like I should've been able to get 60 on low settings at least
I cant even be mad at the boys for not including spider-man 2 in the good 70 dollar games list 😭 like its a fuckin awesome 8 outta 10 an improves on the first game greatly gameplay wise...but the second half is rushed an the game factually released half baked an not done an we unfortunately know from the leaks sony didnt give em enough time so they had to cut a bunch of stuff ya know even with a 300 mil budget an 5 plus years....fuckkkk this generation man ☠
They were ordered to rebuild Manhattan for some dumb reason, presumably using developers paying Manhattan housing prices, no money left over for a good second half
EC:HH is an incredibly slow burn and I know exactly where Bob is, but not too long after it becomes wayyy more engaging and by the time the castle stuff hits it hooks you pretty good That early section where you're just wandering around recruiting for no reason in particular was deadly, though, no arguments there.
The segment about budgeting games is incredibly real. I think the only thing I've bought gaming wise was Palworld and some Strive DLC. Atlyss is realistically the only thing I'm going to buy by the end of the year mostly cause everyone I follow has posted something about the game and they seem to be vibing with it. Metaphor is something I'd be willing to toss cash at, but for now I'm mooching off of my roomie via steam family share. Idk, I don't really see much of a reason to go out of my way to get newer games through the triple A sphere when what's out there leaves me with a lot of questions. For now I find myself just hanging out on a Deceasedcraft server for hours on end in between playing marginally less League of Legends.
I'm the odd one, I love Temple of Doom alot, it was my first indy movie , but for me it goes Crusade , Temple , raiders the TV show , the Lego game, crystal skull
3:36:15 Gonna leave the tab muted so UA-cam still counts it as a view just for this. Also gonna comment so it gets more traction. I can't see it yet cause I wanna play the game but I support Aggro being a smug dipshsit.
i can only speak for the sfc version of dq6, but that might be the most boring rpg ever made. it feels like they sucked its lifeforce out to empower chrono trigger and this is the husk that was left behind
Temple of Doom has a weird amount of people who will defend it and I never understood why, even as a kid I didn't like it and thought it was just kind of annoying. Also I thought when young Indy hit himself with the whip it was in the lip, not the chin?
that brief moment where they hallucinated that there was ever a pokefloats 2 was beautiful

The "hit the deck" thing works because soldiers are usually wearing gear and surrounded by brush/debris/uneven terrain so dropping down prone absolutely does mitagate a fuck ton of damage.
Also unless something is air bursting directly above them it significantly reduces their profile that might get hit by shrapnel.

Might be slightly more scuffed than usual. Ah well.
I don't skip voiced dialogue.
The reason I probably beat it so fast because i upgraded the base archetype for every character fully and then switched to others based on thier beat base stats.
Hearing how much Bob struggle with DD2 stealth missions made me chuckle a little. I would just walk in, make sure they weren't looking my way, then go and talk to the dude. Then I just run out of there. If I get caught I just kept running for a bit until they lost agro then went back in, no issues.

Where does Dan get the numbers for "double the industry firings" of last year? I tallied it up on wikipedia, and it was only about 50% increase (~10k vs ~15k).

Dan: We are going to beat every PS2 game
Me: Finally someone besides me will have played Ring of Red.
2:45:43 YEAHHHHH, ATLYSS! That game whips!
24:23 Im down for whatever FromSoft has next. I especially look forward to the next Armored Core, hell bring back out of left field shit too like that one Ninja Gaiden game they had back in the day Team Ninja sure as hell isn't gonna do one any time soon lol
I'm glad there was a Mouthwashing acknowledgement in the Podlords. Slay the Princess is a similar but deeper hole to traverse, though one full run is only a little longer than Mouthwashing.
On the topic of horror walking sims and visual novels from this year, I gotta' push Anthology of the Killer. It's not as "good" as the above two and far less recognized, but I love it for its vibes. Probably about a Mouthwashing and a half in length, maybe two.

Slay the Princess was not what I was expecting at all but wow was it good
Also amusing watch someone break the Ren'Py engine over their dang knee
Slay the Princess is absolutely a delight. I want to play it more but for whatever reason it makes my system choke (It is older, so a bit expected...)
It's so good to have Big Think back! How should we celebrate?

They did a single year of Pro Kompetition with pitiful prizing that ended in June, and it's almost 2025 and we haven't a single word on there being anything else.
Hard Mountain Dew is OK. It tastes like sugar-free Mountain Dew, not much like alcohol. Only 5% ABV though so the value proposition on "how much you'd need to drink to feel anything" is not very good.
Dan describing a "stealth mission" where I literally just walked in and talked to the guy felt surreal. There was no "caught" for me I just held forwrd
Bob described it. I'm cooked
I tried the Dynasty Warriors demo on PC and I couldn't get it to run at a consistent 60. I have a fairly high end PC and a 2070. I feel like I should've been able to get 60 on low settings at least
Gamers, come awaken
I cant even be mad at the boys for not including spider-man 2 in the good 70 dollar games list 😭 like its a fuckin awesome 8 outta 10 an improves on the first game greatly gameplay wise...but the second half is rushed an the game factually released half baked an not done an we unfortunately know from the leaks sony didnt give em enough time so they had to cut a bunch of stuff ya know even with a 300 mil budget an 5 plus years....fuckkkk this generation man ☠
They were ordered to rebuild Manhattan for some dumb reason, presumably using developers paying Manhattan housing prices, no money left over for a good second half
3:41:32 return of the king
big think december in ❄️☃️🏂🌏christmas world 🎄🌲🎅🏼🌎🥳🥳🎉🌨️

4:18:00 A Laurel and Hardy sit down..
WHERES FREEZEEZY PEAKS
IM GOING TO LOSE IT
Oh no, Bob thought the story was the part of DD2 that was supposed to be a improved? He's horribly misunderstood Itsuno's vision.
EC:HH is an incredibly slow burn and I know exactly where Bob is, but not too long after it becomes wayyy more engaging and by the time the castle stuff hits it hooks you pretty good
That early section where you're just wandering around recruiting for no reason in particular was deadly, though, no arguments there.
Brawl had break the targets but it was a set of stages for everybody rather than being specialized per character.
Edit; Guess I jumped the gun
The segment about budgeting games is incredibly real. I think the only thing I've bought gaming wise was Palworld and some Strive DLC. Atlyss is realistically the only thing I'm going to buy by the end of the year mostly cause everyone I follow has posted something about the game and they seem to be vibing with it. Metaphor is something I'd be willing to toss cash at, but for now I'm mooching off of my roomie via steam family share.
Idk, I don't really see much of a reason to go out of my way to get newer games through the triple A sphere when what's out there leaves me with a lot of questions. For now I find myself just hanging out on a Deceasedcraft server for hours on end in between playing marginally less League of Legends.
4:02:01 LMAO They put in Ghostface the movie character, not Ghostface Killa, member of the famous rap group WU-TANG 😂
I'm the odd one, I love Temple of Doom alot, it was my first indy movie , but for me it goes Crusade , Temple , raiders the TV show , the Lego game, crystal skull
Turok was pretty good
3:36:15 Gonna leave the tab muted so UA-cam still counts it as a view just for this.
Also gonna comment so it gets more traction.
I can't see it yet cause I wanna play the game but I support Aggro being a smug dipshsit.
oh well thats a big run time i see, better get started
Oh my god what is the new holiday intro music it sounds so familiar but I can't place it I am going to drown
5 hours holy hell
Lookin crisp
Just started this and spotted nikki i am ALL IN for this shiz
Dragon quest V is incredible and i urge everyone to play like the ps2 version or the ds version
Everybody should play the DS version or else they'll miss best girl
Ananta 🤍
8:16 | Lmao
I am so glad Bob and Dan agree that on keyboard there are cramps or pains during gaming and work unlike with a controller. I'm validated.
Yiiking out
Surprise Patstaresat reference.
i can only speak for the sfc version of dq6, but that might be the most boring rpg ever made. it feels like they sucked its lifeforce out to empower chrono trigger and this is the husk that was left behind
Temple of Doom has a weird amount of people who will defend it and I never understood why, even as a kid I didn't like it and thought it was just kind of annoying.
Also I thought when young Indy hit himself with the whip it was in the lip, not the chin?
