Damn it Escapist Forums, you disappoint me once again. I'm glad some people in this thread remembered Mikami's Vanquish, but why has no one mentioned Godhand yet?! It's a PS2 game and it's also on PSN and it is probably one of the greatest games ever made. Everyone needs to experience Shinji...

I think its hard to point out exactly what part of GodHand makes the comedy in the game so organic and enjoyable. If you break it down, you have: -A highly customizable fighting system where the player is given full control of their combos -Ridiculous and borderline offensive characters...

This was a greats podcast, but I was kind of hoping to get some more info on Susan's departure since (at least for me) it seemed to come out of nowhere.

Not sure if there's a recommendation thread up (if there is I apologize, but I was unable to find it), but I would like to recommend the Youtuber Matthewmatosis. His videos are extremely in depth analyses of popular game series that move away from the usual discussion. Here's a link to his...

Finally she gives arguments instead of merely patronizing. I must say I'm a lot happier with this episode than I was with the previous one, in spite of the fact that I find some of her choices questionable, the most egregious example being "Shadows of the Damned". It is definitely an easy...

I'm honestly surprised so many people are fine with the name Xbox One, a moniker that was sometimes used for the original Xbox before this announcement. How is that type of branding confusion not worse than a pee homophone?

I'm all on board for a Harry Potter reboot, but as a TV show instead of a film series. A lot of what hampered the later Potter movies was a need for bombastic climactic scenes that really did not fit with the tone of the books. Plus, the world of Harry Potter is ripe to be explored and add side...

I think this could be the basis of a new kind of 007 licensed game. As much as I enjoyed Goldeneye, Nightfire and a couple of other ones, it's always bothered me that all the games based on the world's greatest spy devolve into unhinged firefights. Enter Yahtzee's concept, but instead of making...

Who imposes the 5 minute limit? Is it the escapist or did Bob simply decide that was the only runtime that would work?

Who needs Anita Sarkesian when the Jimquisition is here to actually elicit discussion about sexism problems in the industry. Long live Jim!

It's probably been mentioned already in this thread, and I honestly appreciate that Yahtzee maintains his policy of going into games as "Tabula Rasa" as possible to judge them fairly, but Metal Gear Rising: Revengenace is not 'A Hideo Kojima Game'. It was directed by Kenji Saito and written by...

I don't care if some people read it as condescending, THIS is the kind of writing and insight I enjoy the most from MovieBob and I really wish he would spend more time doing this sort of thing. Succinctly written and an important lesson that a lot of us need to get and would probably never have...

I know there are other people who like it, but they are few and far between. God Hand is an amazing game that to this day I fail understand why so little people know about it or have played it. GO PLAY IT!

That's the 80's for you. People say anime is weird but they never pull creepy stuff like that... they pull other kinds of creepy stuff

Is it the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon? Or is that considered good?
