Podquisition Episode 152: That Would Be An Ecunemical Matter by Jimquisition published on 2017-10-19T15:21:22Z We went far too long without a Father Ted reference. Anyway, we chat more Shadow of War, discuss The Evil Within 2, and dump on WWE 2K18 a little. Also, you damn right we chatted about Activision and Visceral. Genre Entertainment Comment by Htamret VG I love that fustercluck xD 2017-12-17T02:29:43Z Comment by Rob Roddy Shadow of War is 20 hours of content. 30 hours of grinding and the most disappointing ending to a game in decades. 2017-10-24T09:18:23Z Comment by { π±β π± βπ¦ βπ¦ βπ΅ βπ΅ βπΈ βπΈβ πͺ βπͺβ } I always thought it was Internet game network hah. 2017-10-23T19:24:27Z Comment by Paladin Cat The thing that always gets me is the media going "oh but it ain't really that bad, because so and so". How have they not figured out that they're dealing wit a multi-billion dollar industry completely at home with hyperagressive business practices which some other industries could simply not get away with? The gaming community is almost like the art or antiques market in the sense that there is not a whole lot of laws governing what you can do, so they will literally do anything they can legally get away with. 2017-10-23T10:52:49Z Comment by Pam Skowhegan funniest fucking moment in all podquisition history right here 2017-10-22T23:42:32Z Comment by Keira Owens ESO has similar crown crates with limited mounts 2017-10-22T03:27:45Z Comment by "iluvOP Power outages like that are pretty fun. Well, when there is no people dying and all that. Before they rebuilt the powergrid in the town I live in, I got to experience two complete blackouts. It was fucking spooky and kind of exciting to walk around outside when you couldn't see fucking anything. Complete, utter, pitch black darkness and the complete silence made things extra spooky. 2017-10-21T18:09:25Z Comment by Aristatide I restarted one of my F:NV characters twice because of massive quest-breaking bugs. But the gameplay is enjoyable enough I'm not actually controller-throwing pissed about that, although god does it make me want to join the PC master race. 2017-10-21T05:27:50Z Comment by Aristatide PERFECT. SHEER PERFECTION, LAURA. 2017-10-21T05:07:27Z Comment by Aristatide GTA:SA actually had a nice segment about that on the talk radio. "God hates poor people!" TBH, 2017 has made the entirety of that station eerily relevant again. 2017-10-21T04:56:04Z Comment by Dutchbag CS:Go is a paid game with lootboxes by valve. So it wasn't just free games. 2017-10-20T16:00:41Z Comment by AnotherOne OR there is the subconcious bias of the freelancer, because they want to have work in the future - in the back of their mind they might think "If I give it a bad review, they won't want me to write other reviews for them" 2017-10-20T14:07:34Z Comment by Aleksandar Malovic Can't wait for Monday :D 2017-10-20T07:38:46Z Comment by Aleksandar Malovic I want Jim to do a Tim Curry version of Pennywise on the Jimquisition with makeup and all 2017-10-20T06:42:50Z Comment by bulldog_98 *grasshopper noises* 2017-10-20T06:05:03Z Comment by Northreyar yes because some stupid costume bs and people who can't keep control of their credit cards is more important than the people who actually play the game for its gameplay have been able to enjoy patches, new content, support across 3 platforms for free for more than a year, lootboxes are shit, but I much rather be able to not have to buy stuff that would otherwise lock me out of PLAYING the game like maps and modes or characters, I can live without the fucking costumes, and if you argue that not having lootboxes would be worth having to pay for that extra content, then you have no idea what that shit does to an online game's playerbase, and further goes to show how disposable games are to you, in that you are unable to see the bigger picture as long as you have a industry bullshit horse to beat down 2017-10-20T05:23:46Z Comment by MauricioMM "Feck! Arse! Girls! Driiiink!!!" 2017-10-19T21:38:10Z Comment by Boopers i always thought it stood for "internet gaming network" lol 2017-10-19T21:28:20Z Comment by Boopers plus, they could always choose a freelancer whom they're sure will give the game a good review 2017-10-19T21:23:23Z Comment by Matt Hugh ANOTHER scary monster like that is TheHost(korean movie) the sequel is coming. 2017-10-19T19:47:24Z Comment by StCrimson667 Yeah, I don't play Overwatch, but that would drive me absolutely crazy if I did. 2017-10-19T19:43:40Z Comment by StCrimson667 This doesn't make me want to spend money on a game, that makes me want to stop playing a game all together. 2017-10-19T19:35:04Z Comment by Keira Yeah, it's unfortunate it came out 2 weeks before October 27th, THE DAY OF ALL THE GAMES. 2017-10-19T18:28:33Z Comment by MrPuschel On top of this, after you then take a purchase, the algorithm takes into consideration your purchase to match you against a player who is vulnerable to that purchase to reinforce your believ in thinking that it was a good idea to take this purchase. That's some pretty fucked up psychological conditioning right there. 2017-10-19T17:32:41Z Comment by Theorak Terror Billy, I'm falling for him too. 2017-10-19T17:00:12Z Comment by thcollegestudent woah, glad youre ok Gav :/ 2017-10-19T16:57:29Z Comment by GodzillaGuy92 Remember the first half of this year, when general game discussion revolved around "Wow, it's gonna be impossible to pick a Game of the Year with all these amazing games coming out one after the other?" 2017-10-19T16:21:12Z Comment by McBearson (2) YES 2017-10-19T15:34:49Z
