Look WhA1 You Made Me Do [Archived] • Page 581

This is kind of long and chaotic, but I listen to this video game podcast and this week they went on like a ten minute rant about Arby’s and BWW and I thought it was pretty hilarious. I imagine that if we were all in a room talking about this stuff, it would sound very similar.

 

"no Kate you're a beautiful and nice non racist human being and it was just a minor blip in character."

 

why am i not even a little surprised that Dan has stock in Arbys lmao

 

Lol, right? It’s the perfect addition to his lore.

 

thanks for reminding me that i haven't listened to the bomb/beastcast this week

 

The bombcast is so chaotic this week haha. There are just so many people.

 

Didn’t realize there were other Giantbomb fans in here. Nice.

 

good, i wouldn't have it any other way when they're all in SF.

 

I read this as Jersey Dan which would also not surprise me

 

I haven’t been this excited for GOTY deliberations since before Ryan passed away. This year should be hilarious

 

@tucah .....should i buy xenoblade 2? im only a very casual jrpg fan

 

I never got into that because I'm not that into games and also I don't have 3 hours a week to listen to a gaming podcast

 

This might sound lame, but I’ve been listening for so long that it’s like checking in with a group of old pals each week. Also, despite technically being a gaming podcast, they always go off course and that’s generally when it gets hilarious. But yeah, the length is definitely intimidating.

 

I have that for a horror podcast I listen to

 

How come no one told me @Bloodsucker II is a musical genius

 

I'm enjoying it a lot but I also play a ton of JRPGs. It's a good mix of JRPG tendencies (the worldbuilding is wonderful, the story and characters are very good so far but definitely lean into JRPG/anime stereotypes, especially in the anime-as-fuck character designs and often iffy voice acting) and more familiar MMO structure (the auto-attack focused battle system and much of the quest design) but also falls prey to the negatives of the latter with a lot of fetch quests and hoping for random item drops. The game is gigantic, judging by the series' previous titles will probably at least a good 70h+ for me to complete, the world is expansive and very interesting to explore so far and the battle system layers enough systems on top of each other after a few hours that it keeps you engaged in a way that some other similar battle systems don't really (FFXV, for example). I like it if only for the sheer fact that there aren't a TON of good, huge, exploration focused JRPGs anymore. It has some problems (repetitive quests, there's a bit too much going on in the UI, sometimes iffy tutorials, some frustrating map issues) but I liked the first Xenoblade a whole lot and this is just as good so far.

tl;dr: It's a very good story focused JRPG that should keep even a casual JRPG fan interested, even if it's not perfect. If you want a new, very long game for your Switch I'd say go for it.

 

James you butt

 

man i didn't mean to rant in a long paragraph like that

 

This kinda describes most (good) podcasts

 

it's why Jay-Z gave him a shoutout in his Monster verse

 

Ooo which one? I’m always looking for more podcasts to listen to and I love horror so I am interested

Most likely cause I’m not, heh, but thanks!
