Where The Water Tastes Like Wine - An American Tale (Jimpressions)
An enjoyable take on visual novels and other story-driven games, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a pleasant little game indeed.
The Spin off Doctors: Sonic The Hedgehog - The Movie
Do not listen to this episode, please.
Violence In Videogames, Wankers In The White House (The Jimquisition)
Violence in videogames, a classic political scapegoat of the 1990s and early 2000s, is back in the spotlight as Trump's bewildered administration resurrects an old blame game.And a game is what it is. A rigged circus game designed only to entertain and placate the masses. The "violence in videogames" debate is a vapid waste of time, and the time wasters know it.
Podquisition Episode 172: Celeste
This week we talk a lot about Celeste, the latest Assassin's Creed DLC, Detention, Kirby Star Allies, and more.Also, let's laugh at The Sun's latest attack campaign... on people who can read books properly.
Yakuza's Open World Is Biggest And Bestest (The Jimquisition)
The Yakuza series may not have gigantic open worlds, but they're bigger and better than any sprawling map found in your typical "AAA" game these days.Extra Content: Fuck Konami News.
Past Cure - If Metal Gear & Silent Hill Had A Really Shit Baby (Jimpressions)
This is already easily in the running for one of 2018's worst game. Woefully inadequate nonsense.
Metabombed: Dynasty Warriors 9 Is ‘Seizure Inducing Garbage’
It didn't strike me until recently that I hadn't checked out the Metacritic user reviews on Dynasty Warriors 9. Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of material for a classic Metabombed article!
Hunt Down The Freeman - Shitty 17 (Jimpressions)
This might actually be among the worst games I've ever had the misery of playing.The fact they want $24.99 for this broken ripoff is just the semen on the cake.
Podquisition Episode 171: Neg Neg Neg Neg Neg
On today's energetic episode, we talk about Super Seducer and the "dating guru" who used the DMCA to prove his manhood.Elsewhere, we chat about Metal Gear Survive's wankery, PAX runners buying games media, and the difficulty in archiving game experiences.
Bayonetta 2 For Nintendo Switch - Pervily Promiscuous Princess Peach (Jimpressions)
For all I could criticize Nintendo for, I could never begrudge it rescuing Bayonetta from the scrapheap and continuing to have faith in the series.I'll also happily take the excuse to play Bayonetta 2 again!
The Spin-off Doctors: Hitman - Agent 47
"You're locked in here with me" and other cliches!
The Deadly Spiral Of Live Services (The Jimquisition)
Once again the "AAA" industry thinks it has a golden goose, and once again it's primed to bang that goose until the eggs come out filled with nothing but decaying spunk.
Pinstripe - Pissy The Piss Snake (Jimpressions)
Poignant, clever, and creepy as all hell!
Podquisition Episode 170: Carry On Up The Bayonetta
This week we talk about Metal Gear Survive, Bayonetta, and how crap YouTube is.So, a good week!
Metal Gear Survive - It Is Shit (Jimpressions)
Metal Gear Survive is here, and it's worse than I expected.I thought they'd at least TRY and make it feel like Metal Gear, but instead it truly is a derivative, irritating, bog-standard survival game.There was so much rubbish to laugh at I forgot to even mention the microtransactions!
The Dismal Degradation Of Dynasty Warriors (The Jimquisition)
Dynasty Warriors may be my favorite series - or at least it was - but Tecmo Koei has been taking the piss with it for years.Much of what's said here could have been said a long time ago, but Dynasty Warriors 9 was its last chance... and we all know how that went.Oh, and this isn't just about what they DID to Zhang He!
Dynasty Warriors 9 HARD MODE - It's Still Fucking Shit
Weirdly, DW9 has actual defenders, and they squirmed like hell to discredit my criticisms, mostly saying it was my fault for not playing on Hard Mode.So... here we go.
Podquisition 169: What They DID To Zhang He
Naturally, Jim laments Dynasty Warriors 9 for a long time alongside Laura. Elsewhere, Gav still hasn't reached the Second Dream.
The Spin-off Doctors: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Really good for a high school fan-film!
Dynasty Warriors 9 - The Worst Dynasty Warriors Game Ever Made (Jimpressions)
Dynasty Warriors 9 is an absolute mistake. The open world actively ruins the flow of the game, the new combat system is a homogenizing step back, and as for what they DID to Zhang He...Make no mistake about it, this is the worst Dynasty Warriors game of them all, at least as far as mainline entries go.
Games Should Not Cost $60 Anymore (The Jimquisition)
There is a constant problem plaguing the game industry, if its spokespeople are to be believed. Games cost $60, and that price doesn't work anymore!Weirdly enough, The Jimquisition agrees with this assessment. "AAA" games should indeed not cost $60 anymore, and they most certainly have outgrown it.
The State Of Sterling #1
Been meaning to do this for a while. Thought it'd be nice to do some update videos to keep you in the loop regarding all things Sterling.Today, we talk about The Jimquisition's theme music, a little Sterdust, the fate of Jim Sterling's Licensed Game Experience, The Loose Boys and Commentocracy.
Podquisition Episode 168: Gav's Piss Story
This week, we have a story about public urination.Elsewhere, we chat about Warframe and blackmail, Monster Hunter World, and Iron Maiden. As ya do.
The Cost Of Doing Business (The Jimquisition)
Games cost a lot of money to make. You need to pay developers, you need to license engines, you need do a lot.Extra Credits pointed out all of these costs in a recent video, and I'm certainly not going the claim the expenses aren't expensive.But is it just me, or does the "AAA" videogame industry do a bit too much twisting and turning to make the cost of doing business out to be so...
Podquisition 167: You Don't Have To Be A Hard Penis
On this week's show, we chat about Monster Hunter World, Sterdust's next appearance on February 10th, Gavin's Warframe experience, and the story mode of Genital Jousting.Also, there's a mistake made with a lot of CBD oil.
The Spin-off Doctors: Resident Evil The Final Chapter
At last... at long last... the story of how Alice is better than everybody in the whole world concludes.For now.
Inner Kung Fu Game - My Three Warm Cavities (Jimpressions)
Another amazing piece of "work" comes to PlayStation 4 (also available on Microsoft's storefront, but not Xbox One).Let's just say Life of Black Tiger has some serious competition now.
Anger (The Jimquisition)
According to journalists, "angry YouTube videos" have demoralized employees of Electronic Arts and BioWare.So... let's talk about that anger, shall we?
Warframe - Pretty In Pink (Jimpressions)
As you know, this means Warframe.
Podquisition Episode 166: Black Mirrored
The gang talks about television a lot, but finally gets around to videogames at some point.
