The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

That Asura's Wrath QL was surprisingly hilarious.

That game looks utterly ridiculous...

Nice work Brad/Vinny!
 
lol. for some reason, Asura's Wraith makes me wanna finish up darksiders. Asura really reminds me of War. A bit slow in the head... but can dish out damage when needed.
 
Is there a big ass alphabetical list of all the games they've covered (not the youtube list)? Their website design is awful.
 
So I was thinking...someone ended up making a mod that converted Crusader Kings 1 save files to something Europa Universalis 3 can take in so you can keep going.

Inevitably someone's going to make one for CK2->EU3. From there you can keep the game going (assuming your game survives until the timeline ends) by converting the EU3 save into something Victoria II can load, and at the end of that convert it over to Hearts of Iron 3.

C'mon Giantbomb guys, Uber-Endurance-Run featuring Dave and Drew. Let's see if they can run the entire Paradox grand strategy timeline gauntlet from the Middle Ages to WWII. :D

I would watch that just for the inevitable crash and burn of their dynasty before they got out of CK2.

My imbecile dwarf King of Ireland ended my game when he caught syphilis :(
 
Yeah this is a trend lately, especially with Ryan QLs. HE TAKES FOREVER TO SHOW THE DAMN GAME.

Show us the game. Actual gamepley. Then tell us your thoughts. Not the other way around.
 
15 minutes in and he's played for like a minute...

holy crap, you’re not kidding.

Ryan commented that he was talking more than showing but then he still talks for another 10 minutes.

heh. I think they should make a conscious effort to jump into gameplay right away and then spend a little bit of time in the middle of the QL (or end) to get into modes and extras.
 
Let's all just agree the Ryan's ability to multitask leaves a lot to be desired.
 
the SSX QL has several utterances of my favourite Ryan Davis mannerism:

OOH-D-D-D-D-D-D

I love it no matter how many times I hear it.
 
Ryan's QLs usually start with the aforementioned 15 minutes of talking at a menu, his other option: showing off something 'fucking awesome', then pausing to talk about it for 15 minutes.
 
Man, they can't ever win with you guys.

Playing a game while keeping a conversation going is not easy, Ryan just wants to properly convey his thoughts before starting a run, so he can actually pay attention to the game.
You know, to keep the comment section from blowing up, claiming he sucks at videogames.

Why all this intense scrutiny of everything they do, dear god.

Intense scrutiny?

I don’t think this particular case is intense scrutiny (like, say, ER commentary :). it’s just, well, old fashioned criticism. nothing wrong with that.

And no one is attacking Ryan or getting all flustered about it from what I’ve read.

It just that he chose to start off the QL with a lot of menu screens and commentary. I don’t think that was the best place to describe those features as it made the beginning of the video slower than it had to be. Not the end of the world but I think it’s a fair criticism.
 
Intense scrutiny?
00:00 - 00:14 Introductions. Could shave of two seconds easily.
00:00 - 00:19 until Ryan presses Start. 5 seconds in this could be done.
00:22 - 00:29 until he acknowledges Autosave by pressing X.

Look at all those faults within the first 30 seconds. Worst Quick Look ever. Premium membership canceled.
