I am listening to game under 45 and foolz that is the best breakdown of a game I have get heard. I never played home front and now I feel like I have. You undertow a exactly what info a gamer wants to hear about. Aspros wandering off into gone home was hilarious and awesome cause he shit on it . Aspro I could spend an hour with you discussing wtf is going on with reviewers loving this artsy crap. I do believe CoD BO had helicopters you can control.

the VR desussion was interesting. Foolz for the full applications of VR yes control is needed. But I feel that for gaming there is no a need for a full reenactment. Most of the stuff we play is stuff humans can't do. I do not want to run everywhere like the characters do. The helmet with a normal controller is fine.

there was more I wanted to discuss and now I forget whaty it was.

That's awesome, dude. Means a lot coming from you. Happy

I forget my point abuot reviewing of them. But it was a good point.

Anyone, in 3D Dot Game Heroes, when you see two poles that are apart is that where you use the arrow and bow? I have not had a chance to try it yet, but just thinking about it.

I am in the Desert temple.

Also, I don;t have a form of magic called "Reflect" can I get through the game without it?

It was probably my point about the automatic angle reviewers apply to games like that? If so it was an even better point than you imagine it to be because I came up with it.

Oh that's right, I get the any henning reference from last night now, lol.

Miyamoto is a god, come on. I think aspro'a definition is too literal, where a god needs to be the sole creator of all. Regardless if Miyamoto programmed every moment he was the main guy behind the inspiration and best ideas of many legendary games. Games that shaped the entire industry. There is no other developer that has had a more successful career and influenced the progression of the medium more than Miyamoto. So if he is not a game god, no one is.

I am not confident enough in how much we actually know abuot Miyamoto's influence on the games. He was an artist first, dragged into designing the art for the side of the cabinets.

I am thinking that Gunpei Yokoi or someone similar is behind the aspects of Mario that defined him -- such as his jump.

I think that Shiggy has always had an influence on the concepts and art, but not the actual gameplay itself.

But I freely admit I am ignorant on this. Iga or Ninty would probably best know the names of the people who are most lkiely behind the games.

Ep 45 1:37:15 Anything different is shit. That was the point about FPS games not called COD and reviwers. It forced reviewers to actually think, so they dismiss it as being archaic, or eastern european, or pc centric, or mysogenist, or only focussed at people who paid $700 for a graphics card.  Anything but actually admit they are shit at gaming.

Holy shit a guy on this plane is playing injustice on an iPad, wtf. I noticed cause it looked like he was jerking off with all his hand motions.

Someone gaming on an iPad is someone trying to convince themselves thatt a vacuum cleaner is a sex partner.

You know it's funny, in what's apparently a case of Facebook and Google watching everything we do while we surf the web, shortly after I read about Injustice on iPad here I started seeing ads for it in my Facebook feed.

Cancelled: Darth Maul game for Nintendo platforms

So is it fair to say that Nintendo may have just skipped out of financing it because it looked like a piece of shit right from the beginning?

You're forgetting the man who has spent the most time with Miyamoto in recent times: Robio.

Yeah it is true. Shiggy does have more than just concept and art influence. The entire reason I didn't get to hang out with him as much as we'd like in 2008 was completely due to all the last minute tweaking he had to do with Wii Music. That was a sad year. All those geocaching trips we had to cancel. . . *sniff* .  . . it makes me sad.

Practically everything he touches is gold. His gameplay ideas changed gaming forever. He goes into Retro who is struggling to make a Metroid game, flips over some tables and tells them "make it first person" drops the mic and walks out and they make one of the greatest games ever because of it.

He was game director of many games so he had to be the head of all aspects of the game.

It's further proof that Lucas was the worst thing to happen to Lucasarts or any Lucas inspired recent game. But the story sounds a bit hinky:

~~Cancelled: Darth Maul game for Nintendo platforms

Nintendo would not meet financial demands to make it a 'first party project'

So they started out thinking they would make an exclusive game but the only way it would be made, was if Nintendo met financial "demands"? So it was a fishing trip? Then N. refused and it was turned into a multiplat, then Lucas fucked over another team by changing things and the game was canned.

God, I hope Miyamoto goes to every meeting flipping tables, making crazy ass demands  and shit.  Then tosses the mic on his way out.  It makes for a good visual, at least.
