    yea,

    I would watch an episode that is a movie style commentary over the Scott Manley episode.

    I think Brad is on assignment today, so Jeff might have edited it, hence the speed.

    edit: Not that Jeff is better/faster than Brad, but that he cares less. So expect no musical cues.

    Also Vinny was tweeting about bringing back VinnyVania soon, so I'm ready for them to move onto something else after they save all the Kerbals. As much as I love GBEast, I watch Project BEAST like I watch porn: I skip around and then usually just watch the ending.

    The videos are often very slowly paced, and I don't watch at a resolution where I can read any of the numbers. So it's just three dudes referring to specific stuff I can't see.

    Are there any Beastcasts where Alex Navarro is completely absent, by chance?

    Because if so then that would be a Beastcast I could listen to.

    He was in Japan last year for a bit, and they had other guests/3 man shows for a bit.

    You are wrong, but there is still that option.

    Oh sweet, not sure where that begins yet but it looks like it ends at episode 20 from the episode descriptions.

    Much appreciated!

    Once they started being able to get into space with regularity, I started just skipping through to watch landings/crashes/burning up in atmosphere to cries of "Vinny!". The journey just gets boring after a few episodes.

    Project BEAST just doesn't do much for me; I'm fine with just watching a "best of" video from it. I have watched a full episode or three, including the Scott Manley video, but I think I've had my fill at this point. I kind of feel similarly about Kerbal Space Program itself; I'm glad it exists, but I don't think I'd get any enjoyment from playing it.

    I find the slow pace of Project BEAST to be a key component. It really builds to those climaxes.

    Just like how it was with Flight Club. Sure it's the crash that makes the highlight reel, but it's them fiddling around in the cockpit for 30 minutes just to get it off the ground that really highlights that moment.

    I really enjoy the pace of the Kerbal stuff - but I also generally have it on while I am at work and I'm not necessarily giving it my full attention.

    Hearing Drew talk about Quantum Break was disheartening but also kinda confirming what I figured

    Why can't Remedy ever get their shooting right?

    Wait, what? Max Payne shooting was bad? Do you live in an alternate universe? I mean, I didn't ever get around to Alan Wake, but really?

  • FuriousJodoFuriousJodo Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    Max Payne shooting was bad, but the slow motion mechanic made it totally fine.

    Sure, okay, I guess I can see this perspective. I still don't remember it as "bad" though.

  • lionheart_mlionheart_m Registered User regular
    It's been a while since I played 3 but I thought it was OK back then. Wait a sec, Max Payne 3 wasn't Remedy.

    Alan Wake...hmm...it felt fine but I never did like the combat in that game. Especially in the latter half. I'm probably gonna do something stupid and buy that game. There's something about the setup that I like even though the whole 20 minute cutscene thing sounds really awful.

    From what I understand, Max Payne was one of those cases where KBAM superiority over analog stick actually was very true

    But on the PS2/Xbox versions the shooting felt like garbage

    That's a pretty cool job to land. Hopefully that means he'll get to bring demos over for Dan to play or something. I know Game Informer partnered with Capcom multiple times to play through games together.

    That is awesome, but i do have to comment on this.

    GI and GB are supposed to be journalists, or at least enthusiast press. That's not a partnership when they're selling for Capcom. That's doing Capcom's job not their own.

    Jeff & Co. have always been very upfront and aware of the dynamic so think they'll handle it fine.

  • ReynoldsReynolds Gone Fishin'Registered User regular
    I was just saying...I remember the Just Cause people brought a demo over to play or show off or something. It would be cool if it was Tim doing that kind of stuff.

    He also played through MML2 and RE:CVX with a Capcom guy right there for the whole playthrough making jokes and telling stories, so I assume stuff like that is fine as well? Neither were really to promote anything, just a joint community thing. The guy on during MML2 was even talking shit about Capcom dropping MML3 since it had just happened then.

    I'm not convinced I'd call the GB guys journalists per se.
    I think Austin and Jeff are the closest things.

    They are absolutely not journalists. They are enthusiast press, so the ethical considerations are different.

    That being said, they have had relationships with other developers in the past, and I don't remember them doing that stuff.

    Well by the strictest definition of the word, they definitely are journalists, in that they cover news in a broadcast and print format. They're obviously not held to the same standards as say, an international politics newspaper writer. But they are held to their own different standards.

    But as said, Jeff and Co are really really good about disclosure and being up front about what their biases may be and who is showing them a game and whatnot so I'm not worried. Giantbomb seems like the most honest crew in video games.

    One of the first big features on the site was Building the Bastion, and because of their closeness with the developers they declined to review it. Partly because their feelings about the game were obvious, but also because of the ethical considerations involved. As long as Jeff is in charge, and really while any of them are there since it seems to be a shared group feeling on the matter, I don't think it's a thing that needs to be worried about.

    Ooo lawdy No Man's Sky feature.

    It's a walking simulator but in a spaceship.
