I was expecting a Gravity Ghost QL since it finally came out, but I guess they count that early access one they did back in september?

Drew talking about making poor decisions and then not stealing the lamp back...

I made the stupid decision to sub this month in preparation for MGS3 and have gotten 0 instances of Naked Snake talking to Para Medic about movies he hasn't seen.

They normally will do a QL when a game is out even though they've done an Unfinished. But I guess it can depend on whether the game has changed anything since the Unfinished, and I don't know enough about Gravity Ghost to know.

Why would drew do that

Because the game broke Drew. Thank Awful Tower and its Hammer Bro.

That seriously may have been one of the funniest parts of Mario Party Party 3.

You know, it's actually surprising how having uncapitalised letters really affects my ability to locate the thread.

Subscriptions breh


also i wonder if this would truly be the last as a trilogy thing or would they go to the gamecube era just to see what has changed

 

[BobTheFork]

you'd think that the series would gradually shift to more skill based mini games but it appears to be getting even more random as the series progresses. it's almost like they hate everyone who buys their product.

Mario Party was never supposed to be skill based IMO. They wanted everyone to have chance to win....even after the turns all end.

Bot Colony sales are so low we can't even cover the cost of the servers running the Natural Language Understanding software - which is $524 per month ( we don't even sell 2 units per day, which would enable us to keep the servers running).

Man, that's depressing.

Feel bad for the devs but this is reaching Rick Dyer levels of "confidence":

It is a tragedy, especially because we've put our hearts into this game, believing we will change the industry by enabling players to converse with the characters in games.

 

[Megasoum]

Yeah... Reading that post, especially as someone who's also working in the videogame industry, this is heartbreaking.

Also, I just found out they are from Montréal too.


God dammit, that sucks.

Yeah. I'm subscribed to the thread and my eyes still miss it when I'm looking through my subs. Not a humongous issue but an easily fixable one.

 

[Infinite Justice]

I read that thing and man that sucks

might sound like a dick here but why even continue going down that road after seeing the initial results? Was it an idealistic attempt of getting more people with these new features? anyways that's very unfortunate and i hope for the best.

At least

Spoiler

they aren't doing something dumb like blaming the press or GB for their woes

So catching up on our latest Party Party.

I can't believe Brad would call the N64 the worst console, nintendo or otherwise.

If they sold less than a thousand copies, I'd be absolutely shocked if their biggest day of business wasn't directly caused by Vinny.

Make sense since the entertainment value of that vid was mostly the suffering of the player or players via the QL but i thought it would attract some just for curiosity's sake

Oh well, RIP Bot Colony

Unfortunately the game wasn't playable after this update for over 30 hours, perhaps more. It returned the "you must upgrade your version" error at the main screen. I even saw new customers, who just bought the game last week, posting disappointment over the error message that prevented logging in. So that didn't do the game any favors after the update!

BotColony 2 hours ago
@Gunthak: Would it help if I told you that Ortwin (who was responsible for the upload) had to go into Emergency on Friday afternoon because he'd walked into a sharp metal corner of a recycling box and opened his head? He walked me though the release steps by phone on Friday evening (from Emergency), and we missed making the branch Default. He fixed it Sunday morning.

Man talk about a shitty week for the guy.

Sucks to hear about the bot colony devs, hope they're able to bounce back in some way.

He also sounds like somebody who is completely out of touch. It sucks that he can't continue on the game, but it was also a really bad game when it was being sold. I can't stand the flood of broken-ass barely-concept Early Access games on Steam to begin with, but if you're selling something that flat doesn't work you can't be that surprised when it doesn't catch on even if you fix it later.

Watching Mario Party Party 3, and Brad set a world record.

No human being has ever moved the goalposts on a single subject as fast and furiously as Brad did in the 'N64=worst console' discussion.

First, he says "One of the worst consoles ever made." Dan names 6 other terrible ones, Brad says "those don't count!!!"

Then, he says "One of the worst nintendo machines ever made." Dan names virtual boy.

Brad moves the goalposts again, claiming that he only meant Nintendo machines that hooked up to a TV. Then he tells Dan not to "take it so personally."

You don't need to always be right, Brad. Fighting so hard that you have to make stuff up just to be right? It's not a good look.

That said, good job as podcast host this week.

I love the N64 but I don't get how people can get so hung up on this.
Yeah he said "ever made" but I did get what he meant by that. Obviously there are worse consoles out there but he was talking in a "consoles that actually mattered" sense. At least that's what I thought. I guess I'm just good at not taking people too literal.

 

[Sayers]

Watching the final hour of Mario Party 3 that I missed and have we ever seen Drew so angry? I didn't think anything could break poor Drew like that.

 

[stump sock]

it was shitty hardware that in hindsight had some pretty amazing games in spite of that fact.

what kind of sucked about having one at the time was the fact that you were getting like two really good games a year for a while.

whatever.

I probably have so fond memories of the thing cause at the time I hardly got more then two games a year.
