A Game Where You Guess Games? Let's Play Gamedle!

[@PirateOfTheWastes]

Jeff is literally the BEST person to be playing this game. So much respect for this man’s encyclopedic knowledge

[@devmas]

Gamedle is fun, but I prefer "Guess the Game", where you guess a game from screenshots, getting hints like the publisher, year, and Metacritic score after each guess. Each puzzle is made by hand instead of auto-generated, so I think there's more quality to them. And you can go back and play each puzzle from the archive as well. That said, Gamedle is still fun, and I love the moments when you feel like you've pulled the game out of thin air (e.g. like what Jeff did with Overwatch 2).

[@BeartatoTime]

Yes! Thank you, I came here being like "I'm sure there was a better one of these..."

[@EvilKatarn]

I would watch a couple more of these.

[@daggereye1]

Please more of this! I love this. Reminds me of that promo that you did early on at GB with trying to connect two games together

[@runjkix]

Please do more of these Jeff

[@thehalfnerd2221]

I want to watch Jeff do this every week

[@LandonMee]

I'd watch so much more of this

[@The_T]

Yeah, this having almost exclusively new games is a real bummer. There are so many interesting NES and SNES games that should be in here.

[@gamedle]

I will try to add more games from that time period. ☺

[@PirateOfTheWastes]

@@gamedlethat’s awesome! Good work!

[@ogto]

this is pretty fun when you have a video game encyclopedia like jeff at the helm. a bit more frustrating to watch not-live since i can't scream BLACK at jeff (despite it not being the right answer...)

[@TheFizzjunior]

I also thought Black for the Call of Duty Black Ops one! I was like, "Surely, they're looking for Black here. Who isn't looking for Black?"

[@ogto]

@@TheFizzjunior Always bet on BLACK.

[@3Dant]

I'm always screaming BLACK

[@antonmerley6629]

You should do this once every couple months Jeff this is your sh$t and so fun to watch after live

[@kyledodson2992]

I remember gaming magazines in the 90s calling GTA1 and GTA2 “Birds Eye view” style games. I’m almost certain

[@sacul6470]

I would really like to see how jeff would do with Guess that game

[@wookieboy3476]

"Vogelperspektive" which literally translates to "bird view" is funnily enough a really common term in Germany to describe strategy games! Way more common than something like "isometric"

[@mosquito271]

Yeah, other languages use various "bird perspective"-like phrases in this context as well. However non-native speakers (like the dev) might forget that the translation would most likely be "bird's EYE view" - a relatively common saying. Unlike "bird view" which.. is not

[@kevboard]

also Isometric is often used incorrectly anyway. Isometric means the perspective has no vanishing point, but many games that have a normal Birdseye view with a vanishing point are often called isometric when they aren't

[@TreesPlease42]

Isometric is orthogonal like top-down is for strategy games, meaning it has no perspective or FOV ​@@kevboard

[@kevboard]

@@TreesPlease42 aka, no vanishing point... like I said. but there are games with a vanishing point that get called isometric when they aren't. but there are also other orthogonal perspectives that are wrongly called isometric as well.

[@everettvonscott]

Day of the Tentacle clicked at the same time when you hovered of 'comedy' and I cheered I was right! I might play this by myself.

[@EkajArmstro]

I thought about Day of the Tentacle as soon as action was ruled out but I wouldn't have guessed it because PC was ruled out and I never would have expected PC DOS to be listed as a separate platform.

[@FishboneINK]

Every time Jeff guesses correctly, I get served an ad. Just thought that was funny.

[@siphillis]

I think Jeff's confusion re: XCOM is that the first game was called "UFO: Enemy Unknown", then the series became "XCOM", then the first game was rebooted as "XCOM: Enemy Unknown." It's sequel is just "XCOM 2".

[@MA-qu3hi]

In the Guess mode I got age of empires iv in two guesses total and I’m still shook. My first guess was spec ops the line lol

[@3Dant]

I hope bird view becomes a new tag on Steam

[@killerkevin27]

The correct answer should always be Devil May Cry 4.

[@konga382]

I'm now seeing "Xbox/Microsoft Game studios" on microsoft-published games like Forza Horizon. Guess they already saw this and fixed that issue.

[@gamedle]

yep

[@FabledFew]

This was a great stream! Thanks Gerstmann!

[@datacentre81]

This game is fun, but the constant bad data is annoying. I just got a round with Life is Strange: Before the Storm, which someone put the "Action" tag on. Databases that try to tag genres and themes are always so full of bizarre choices like this. I'm constantly wondering what the person entering the data was thinking.

[@Solidus_Edge]

"Xcom Enemy Unknown is not an action game" that's themes jeff, not genre. it means that action is a part of the part of the game, not that it is an "Action" game

[@coltonroyle2341]

I'm getting recommended videos on why everyone hates Drake thanks to you. Thank you.

[@threeo8314]

"You don't have a laser watch!" Time to show all my haters how wrong they are.

[@BigBangBlitz]

Feel bad for missing this. My type of thing.

[@videogamefelix]

when i heard of this i instantly thought jeff would kick this game's ass. awful name is right though

[@RandyGleason]

HowLongToBeat has a daily guessing game now too!

[@valthe1st890]

Do this again!! :D

[@MobiusFun64]

I love stuff like this but I also find that Call of Duty games end up being a lot of the answers.

[@TevorTheThird]

Opinion poll; Is it against the spirit of the game to look up release dates before guessing. Like you know it's a game from 2005 and you think you know it but don't remember if the game in question in 2005 or 2006. Although obviously it doesn't matter, there is an intended method to it. After all you could just get the daily answers from twitter or something and plug them in if you wanted to. I don't know why you would but the website doesn't care. It's not cheating. BUT do YOU think you have to do it 100% from memory? And if not where is your line.

[@bdre5555]

Is it Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus?

[@beelzebufo9406]

My useless talent I’ve discovered since Guess the Game came out is I’m insanely good at these. I haven’t even played most of the games but I usually know what it is on the first or second guess.

[@antonmerley6629]

Live stream it boi

[@TyranBatten]

Prove it

[@LockeTheCole]

I HATE Kingdom Hearts, but I tried it and wanted to like it, the reason I quit was because the platforming in the Alice in Wonderland stage made me want to smash things... soooo the first clue for Kingdom Hearts I KNEW was the first game right off.

[@pointblank0020]

Back in my day it was called Mastermind, not Wordle

[@jciofu]

ITS PIKACHU

[@Tiritomba99]

More of this!

[@TheAmbientPotato]

Anyone know what browser is Jeff using here?

[@kevboard]

a lot of their classifications are fucking weird. Super Metroid being classified as "shooter" for example... l Overwatch 1 is categorised as Shooter Strategy, which is already wrong. and then Overwatch 2, which is basically the exact same game, suddenly isn't Strategy anymore and only is a shooter now. or how somehow Metroid Prime is supposedly on Wii U, which it simply isn't. the Wii version was downloadable on Wii U, but that doesn't make it a Wii U game. if that were the case then 90% of Xbox One and PS4 games would also be Series X|S and PS5 games. then Sonic The Hedgehog on Master System was clumped together with the MegaDrive Sonic, although they aren't the same game. meanwhile Day of the Tentacle remaster isn't seen as the same game as the original. there's a lot wrong here lol

[@HIMSteveO]

What browser is used for this? I really like the look of it!

[@Atropos148]

This is Arc Browser, you can see the logo in the top left corner, my question is how is Jeff running it on a Windows machine :) there is no public version for windows yet afaik

[@skulker_s8664]

​@@Atropos148over 100k people have access to the Windows beta version, so I assume Jeff is one of them

[@3Dant]

@@Atropos148 Sounds neat, although I don't think vertical tabs will ever sit right with me

[@johnnydoe1484]

Someone hit you up on TUMBLR Jeff???

[@RootVegetabIe]

I bet you can't guess this one: hlao 2

[@JeffGerstmannShow]

is it devil may cry 4?

[@AntiSocialHero]

If you’re really knowledgeable about games you almost have to dumb yourself down to think about what would show up on a GameStop Sunday ad for that particular year.
