The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

Thanks guys. I played for an hour or so before but got distracted by another game. Will keep it in mind.

Forgot to ask.....how bad is the monster stuff in 3? UC1 was okay but the ape costume PED men made me think long and hard about quitting 2.

The Bill · Tue Dec 23, 2014 8:00 pm

I read somewhere that Naughty Dog was split in two. One team did Uncharted 3 while the other did The Last of Us. So, maybe part 3's problem was some unfocused direction from the B team. And I know damn well they watched Last Crusade and used/ripped off that as the foundation for the game.

I don't even remember, which might be a good thing. I think Drake was tripping balls, and that was the monster excuse.

The Bill · Tue Dec 23, 2014 8:28 pm

There was a horde of bugs, though. Maybe the light or fire could only kill them. Again, I don't remember.

Worst part of the entire series is that he keeps getting with that Racheal from Friends character. Go away! Drake would have been awesome had he told her to fuck off in 2 and went back to banging the English Faith the Vampire Slayer type character.

3 is basically the exact same plot as 2 with slightly to grossly worse levels

Wang Mandu · Tue Dec 23, 2014 9:01 pm

That doesn't sound good.

If Naughty Dog actually had the guts, Nate and Sully would be banging. 2 needed a whole lot more Sully instead of English fruitcakes.

I actually thought the story in 3 was a lot worse than 2 as well, but I never finished it.

What really fascinates me about all this is how Geoff, with his oft-displayed disdain for making the effort to spell any word with more than one syllable correctly, consistently used the accent on the final c of Lazarević. If you live in Switzerland, you write Croatian names all the time, and basically nobody bothers to do that, and the Croatians have given up caring.

Uncharted 3 is still about 7 times better than that dried cum meets molded pile of shit that was the last of us.

People that like that game should be herded into shipping containers and dumped into the ocean. Lord the Saviour Christ our God fuck me forever if that god damned game gets a sequel and I have to fucking hear about it from anything.

He copied and pasted that shit. Hell, if I was drinking the whole day and ate a dirty turkey sub from Subway then pretended it was so much more I'd do the same. Actually, I would double down on the booze and skip food till maybe I was too bombed to play anymore. Then I'd forget about pasting and just call the guy Lasagna.

Giantbomb lost their entire podcast this week, so Jeff recorded a 3 hour live podcast of just him and Matt Rorie. I can listen to Jeff talk about anything for hours and hours and never get bored.

Super Meat Boy is 95% off

For Christmas I got shadows of mordor, persona q, and freedom wars. I'm probably not even halfway through rgg: Ishin yet. I think I'm set for a while.

Wang Mandu · Fri Dec 26, 2014 4:39 am

Can't login to PSN. I could use some mindless grinding after the shit week I had.

Almost worth it for the unison of nerd laughter worldwide.

I have it. I spent about 2 hours playing the story mode and it was absolutely awful. The series definitely peaked with LBP2.

Guys I need help. Is there a game where I can be a skeleton and throw my bones at people who come into my castle? Thanks in advance, James "Superfly" Snooki
