Cheers, mate.
I was disappointed to find out that Jeff Gerstmann Show 99 is not in fact a retro battle royal.
Is there a 99 person mod for any of the WWE games? 99 gerstmann community Battle Royal. Winner gets nothing
My thirst for games related news and conversation can only be satisfied by an ice cold Jeff Gerstmann.
Let's see where he goes on the list!
... is he more refreshing than Dinowarz: the Destruction of Spondylus...
lots of lukewarm motherfuckers out there I'll say that

Thanks.
Jeff is so good at hosting podcasts, he should start a website about video games!
The parry window in Stellar Blade is part of the skill tree 😁 To me it feels unusual at the beginning, but after getting used to it a bit it’s absolutely freaking fantastic! Definitely became a GOTY for me and learning the patterns of the enemies is so damn fun!
Im Loving Stellar Blade. So cool to see a good new IP
This Jeff Gerstmann guy is going places. I think he should host more. Seems trustworthy.
Trust this man? Have you seen his sketchy ass doctor friend
I just checked and yes - he's still a threat
I've definitely been spoiled by Sekiro when it comes to parry-oriented combat, but Stellar Blade is definitely better than the Respawn Jedi games when it come to lining animations up with timings and hit boxes. There is some inconsistency, but I don't agree that it's that much of a problem.
"Xbox should announce a new Forza game". This statement alone, describes just how dire and hopeless the Xbox ecosystem is at this point.
I'm really enjoying Stellar Blade, top to bottom. Pop vocals over everything works, surprisingly.
missed opportunity to use that picture of jeff with heihachi hair. it's okay it can hang out in the comments section.
I see Jim Mashima situation as an encouragement for people who are anxious to play fighting games online. All it shows is that if you spend 2 minutes labbing a string you already have better defense than 1/3 of the ranked playerbase. Fighting games are really not scary to learn.
SB has been a breath of fresh air for me at least. The combat does take a moment to get used to but it's great once you start stringing combos together.
Did we ever figure out if the giants in Skyrim launching you into space was "intentional"?
Were they foreshadowing Starfield?
Starfield was one of my most miserable gaming experiences in last few years.
I am putting my money on the Switch successor being called the Super Switch. They're going to do it. They will call upon the tremendous legacy of the SNES. As a lucky rabbit's foot to continue the Switch dominance.
I'm banking on *new* Nintendo Switch
Shout out to Tokyo Jungle!
Jeff finding one thing (that most reviewers didn’t seem to have issues with) that prevents him from playing through a major release, frankly I’m shocked, SHOCKED!
Jeff Gerstmann likes tight windows.
i heard no one else complain about the stellar blade parry timing thats really odd. i guess i cant play it anyway but if id pick it up and theres this delay i woulda been bummed.
I think the full game was patched but the inconsistent parry drove me nuts in the demo.
In the demo and apparently before patch the lag was horrible, now it runs great IMO
Of course they gave Eddy Gordo the killmonger haircut 🤦♂
He mentioned Stellar Blade without a bunch of incels losing their minds here in the comments. You're doing something right, man.
Not just that, he said he wasn't enjoying it. Local incels fear him!
Fun fact, that was Jeff's senior yearbook caption.
Big agree on Minishoot Adventures. It's a more shooter centric expanded version of Gunman's Proof.
Some of the writing in Stellar Blade reminds me of something Tommy Wiseau would write.
All non-japanese eastern asian games have clunky dialogue/writing, janky gameplay, generic dollface characters and terrible UI. It's just a given.
I feel you man, I've been getting sick like every other month since my daughter has been in daycare. It's genuinely awful.
still no sign of a wolfenstein 3 it seems. hoping for a tease or an official announcement at least but who knows?
Whenever people bring up hating the old PS "Triggers", I'm reminded that I must have been crazy for playing PS2 & PS3 with my middle fingers on L2 & R2. And I wasn't. I wasn't crazy. That was a good way for it to work. I still believe it.
32% win rate is probably due to the ranking and match- making system. It is probably making match-ups to keep anyone from losing too often...
Might not be the primary factor, but i tthink it's interesting how the relative popularity of KOF changed with the transition from arcades to home consoles. In arcades playing KOF would guarantee you got the chance to play three different characters per token spent. Console ports removed this value proposition as a factor and instead KOF kind of became a game with a higher barrier to entry because you had to learn three characters rather than a single one.
I think it was around KOF14 times there was a Japanese interview where the developers discussed the decision to start using 3D models rather than sprites; that pixel art talent was increasingly difficult to source, that it presented a bottleneck for developing new content in both time and cost (XII no Mai no buy days), and just ripping the bandaid off that the sooner they started working with polygons the sooner they would get better at it.
It seems like their output has been pretty good in the last few years and i wish i could be excited about Metal Slug Tactics, but yeah I'm sure there are bad owners behind a lot of devs but the company ownership is a real obstacle to wanting to give SNK any money.
Jeff finally got a decent chair. Congrats
"ba na na way shit" Tell me I'm not the only one to catch that Only the Strong reference
"....so yeah thats pretty cool!" jeff you crack me up
Great question from Nigel. Do modern kids actually play games or do the just chat and need something to do while doing it and Roblox is easier to pick up than knitting? And will they "mature" to play video games like we play games and normal people watch movies: Absorb most of what's on offer once and move on to the next movie.
And it really shouldn't matter to me, but it kinda does. It's like "will there still be expensive, sophisticated, thoughtful or at least dumb-bombastic movies in the future or will people only watch 4 different TV-series that will go on forever?".
VRR causes the flicker on static game screens. VRR also used to be the cause of blackscreens, but idk if that's still the case.
Well, I know it's a show from your past gig. But sir, I would love for you to apply science to fighting games again after you finish applying it to the NES library, of course. Your encyclopedic memory of all those fighting franchises always has me amazed.
All my homies love Jeff Gerstmann
Bonfire game 😂
I've been waiting for a new Fable forever so I really, really hope they show something.
It was March
It was April
It’s gonna be May
People keep saying 'hardware in the dock' but I just don't see how they'd justify that considering how expensive every method to do that is now and how complicated that would make all development. Seeing how handheld PC hardware is scaling these days and hearing Nintendo is fabing custom chips, my guess is they'd just change the power profile when plugged in and maybe their custom chips could be tuned to do that more efficiently than current PC handhelds.
Think of how expensive and limited fab time is these days and how this report mentioned them sticking with LCD so they could make more hardware. I'd bet my drawers there's no way they'd want to fab 2 SoCs so they could put one in the dock and even less of a chance they'd pay for any semi-modern GPU fab time for a chip in the dock.
It should also be noted that external GPU support on ARM outside of Apple Silicon is in it's infancy and Nintendo could develop that but spending R&D to make a more expensive product, for last generation graphics, for the 20-40% of their audience that uses a dock would be either the most Nintendo or the least Nintendo thing ever and I'm leaning towards least.
Also The Switches graphics are absolutely minging but I don't think people would be complaining nearly as much if the games just ran well. The Switch needs more everything but if it wants to even remotely keep up I'd hope they'd put the budget to literally anything else other than better graphics for some users.

I think the limited Black Frame Insertion on modern LG TVs
Hacksmith is somehow allowed to have AI control for their bot using the camera at the top of the Battlebot arena. Seems odd/strange to me.
FUEL isn't on Gamedle. Gamedle doesn't have games.
Synapse froze games, froze mouse, crashed No Man's Sky, AND bluescreened my PC. 4 Different instances, All Synapse.
Steelcase Gesture? Same here!
(As a TF2 player) It's a bad thing, but it is funny (for now) in a fighting game.
Still waiting for State of Decay 3
Are they gonna remaster previous 98 episodes?
Rap. is back!
They sold $1.1Mil of those things?....
jeff you ever play "spark the electric jester 3"? its like a good 3d sonic, you should check it out.
The M*A*S*Hima zaibatsu
I thought Starfield was like Battlefield with stars?
he loves it
i wonder if i would've cared about whatever Square Enix has cancelled? I assume it's not any mainline Final Fantasy stuff, or the next Kingdom Hearts, or Dragon Quest XII, and they probably weren't making another The World Ends With You after how the last one has supposedly bombed in terms of sales :( so idunno. oh, If I had to guess the people who worked on Forspoken are probably at risk of being cut, which is a shame because I think that game is underrated and actually really good!
They split up the Forspoken team long ago, or rather out them into other teams. They had only just about enough time to get the DLC out. I really wanted to like Forspoken but the demo was just so, so boring and it felt like the most dangerous enemies were the controls and camera. I then found out the few abilities I had in the demo would take hours to unlock in the full game and that was it for my interest.
I think it's a damn shame if S-E stops trying new stuff. They just need to put some actual thought and care into their new projects though. They released so many instantly forgetable games in the last couple years it's crazy. Like why on earth would you release THREE strategy games in the same year? Even the ones they put actual effort into, like the Octopath Traveler games, are just not as good as the old games they are emulating.
@@Renoistic i didn't know that (about the team being split up), thanks. that's too bad :(
@@Renoistic to be fair all the work that went into the octopath traveller games graphics (i don't really care for those games either tbh) is now being used for dragon quest 3 remake, which looks awesome
Apologize for being, human.
Jeff!😊😮
I get a weird similar disconnect from the Batman arkham games, I end up not feeling like I'm even in control of anything, and instead feel like I'm playing Beatmania or something. Causes me to lose all interest.
I played the demo for Stellar blade, I didn't care for literally any aspect of it really. From the gameplay to the environments. On the other hand, I've been playing a bunch of Jedi Survivor on ps5, now that it has that new performance mode. It was one of my favorite games of 2023, and it's absolutely brilliant now in this new improved performance mode.
Stellar blade really mid imo, don't understand where those 8-9s come from
@@cybersamovarI think we all know where they're coming from... Or looking at.
I just can't take a game with Stellar Blade's character presentation seriously, but if that's your thing have at it.
The funny thing is that the game is DEAD SERIOUS and wants you to be invested while focusing on her butt at all times. It's like a parody of a 2000s game.
The games you mention as examples of "half naked ladies", Bayonetta and Stellar Blade, were both developed outside the US and so were not really subject to the American culture war.
ES Oblivion was my first ES game. And first game with such an open world. It blew my mind.
Skyrim was cool, but a little let down in some ways.
It's been like 13 years. 13 years worth of other games doing big open world games of their own.
While Bethesda continues to pump out the same cookie cutter shit with the same shortcomings. Never truly innovating.
I thought Bethesda was amazing before. But became disillusioned more and more over the years.
At this point, I have no faith in Bethesda and Elder Scrolls VI. Or another Fallout.
I'll take n64 graphics over PS1 any day. Also which console had see thru variants? Checkmate.
THANK YOU FOR ECHOING MY OPINION OF THE DOGSHIT N64.
I love in Jeff's analogy at 1:02:45 underplaying what Sony has just in this year? Didn't even mention Helldivers 2, FF7 Rebirth, Sellar Blade which I know he had latency issue with which was patched. But him saying Forbidden west looking marginally better is laughable. Go check out Burning SHore which can't really run on PS4/;PRO.
But if we are talking 2024, Spiderman 2, Helldivers 2, Sellar blade, FF7R , Rise of Ronin is very compelling.
Jeff is bitching with Stellar blade
The animation thing is hilarious to me because not only does Nier: Automata's animations do laps around Stellar Blade, Nier also doesn't have those delayed animations either. So it's straight up just worse implementation across the board in Stellar Blade with an excuse that doesn't hold up.
To be fair I don't think the game is trying to have Nier fighting, just Nier atmosphere / music / everything else. But if you compare it to Sekiro, another parry-focused game, their implementation is still straight-up laughable.
Jeff isn't scared to criticize Waifu Dark Souls.👍
I had a strong negative reaction to Stellar Blade demo because it failed its action game fundamentals with its lingering animations, soupy state transitions, and lack of visual clarity. The Sony-like platforming/clambering felt like an unintentional parody due to the ubiquity of those systems and how poorly they are implimented in this title. The Soulslike elements are a major downer for me as this could've been an oddball ps2-era character action game; instead it is a pastiche of contemporary tropes that is less than the sum of its parts.
In response to Gerstmann's take on Stellar Blade...Get good. Virtually nobody has this take. Perhaps in your mature age action games are not quite your thing anymore lol.
Unless they fixed it in a patch in the full game the parry is absolutely awful and the small enemies are more deadly than the bosses. The demo turned me off the game completely.
I disliked pretty much everything about the Stellar Blade demo except the music and the boss fight. The fighting system completely falls apart any time there's more than one enemy on screen. The platforming was miserable and I died more from falling off ledges than fighting enemies. I had to raise the brightness to 100 to see the enemy attacks in the city area, dreadful HDR implementation. The story presentation and dialog was so uninteresting and dull I was actively repelled. I would rather just replay Sekiro and both Nier games than touch SB again. Heck I'd rather play Heavenly Sword or Lollipop Chainsaw. Those games make me laugh if nothing else.
Even if the final game is better this demo had the opposite effect on me. It even fails as a pure cheesecake/dressup game because the outfits I've seen have all been too busy and ugly, and the realdoll faces are off-putting.
Edit: Jeff talking about what the developers said about the animations explains why the combat felt so bad. Holy crap.
As someone that has watched a lot of Full Moon Feature Films film is way more immaturley oversexualized than any non-porn game ever made.
