No, and people who think this are increasingly looking like lunatics to me.

Says the guy that wants his nose attached to a bat.

More content is more content so I am happy. I think people want even more content but it will never be enough.
The bigger concern on the Shogun EX Quicklook is the criminal lack of LuchaDeer.

You're right, this is a serious violation of the Giant Bomb bylaws, specifically article 3, subsection 1a. The responsible parties will be brought before a disciplinary hearing and you have my solemn promise we will seek justice within the full extent of the law.

If you wanted to reply I'm not sure why you decided to go so sarcastic. I don't think anything I've said has been unreasonable, and I'm not trying to attack anyone. Giantbomb is the only site I've paid a subscription for, and I'm glad to do it. I'm not a hater, I'm not hating.
 
PSO2 looks rad, while I do think it'll come out elsewhere, I really hope it makes it to a console in the process. The Skulls video was horrible though.

I see the Vita debate is still on-going, I apologize for that.

The blatant Skulls of the Shogun Windows tablet/phone/8 PR quick look was painful to watch.

Reminded me of this one:

The game also looks weak.

Yeah I would have liked a normal QL to see all the stuff that's new in the game from the last time we saw it on GB. This did nothing for me. I know how asynch play works and the multiplatform play also doesn't need a video.

What else could he have said though? We've been over this a couple of times, really. They cover whatever they feel comfortable covering. There are no rules. Vita coverage is uncomfortable. This was a new thing.
 
Wait, there's no new continent/island in Dawnguard? At ALL? :/ Way to completely miss what's the best thing about your games (i.e. exploring stuff). Combat as the vampire lord also looks janky as fuck.

As far ar the Skulls QL is concerned, it might have been good to recap what's compelling about the game, dontchathink ? I gather it's a turn based async RTS with skeleton samuraïs, but that's about it...

On a happier note, YEAH Burnout Paradise TNT!

Then just fucking say so outright, no need to make up some bullshit justification about the videos looking like shit. Jesus, how fucking hard is it to own up to your dislike of the hardware and/or games?

I don't have it so I can't say for certain but I was under the impression there's a completely new area? I know from chatting to my buddy while he was playing that they've added a whole bunch of new caves and dungeons throughout Skyrim itself, so there's certainly a bunch of new stuff to explore from the sound of it.
 
If 'being consistent' means that they might find themselves in a position where they feel they're unable to do something that they suddenly want to do - as it would mean contradicting a thing they'd said in the past - then fuck consistency.

Would the above constitute fickle decisioneering, or dynamic decisioneering? It matters not. Fucking semantics is what it is. Put out content.

Thanks for your support. If you've supported us this long, you know by now that we do things the way we do for no other reason than what we feel is the good of the site and the audience. It's really as simple as that.
 
I definitely didn't mean to drag things out this long, I'm sorry for the tangent, so I'm gonna get back on topic and say Brad manages to make the weirdest stuff happen in Skyrim. Vampire Lord vs Bandit vs Mercenaries, plus dragon? It's pretty amazing!
 
if you guys want your video game info from an objective source you should not be looking to Giant Bomb. They wear their subjectivity on their sleeves. They are passionate if occasionally malinformed, and "they likes what they likes how they likes it". They also happen to do a commendable job covering video games in their way.


tl;dr: John Vignocchi

Doesn't this site have an ignore function? How does that work again?

It is an unusual conclusion to arrive at, that no coverage of a platform is better than coverage that is not wholly representative of the visual quality of the software.

It's not as if it's a great way of determining fidelity anyway, and even if it was, it wouldn't seem like the reason people care about quicklooks. It's to get an idea of the moment to moment experience and whatever commentary entertainment is present, I would imagine.
 
Why are people complaining about them showing this game on a new device when they covered the Vita when it was new and just launched? I doubt their hate for over the shoulder coverage started after the Vita. I am also sure they will continue to show over the shoulder videos for new devices because they have no other choice. Doesn't mean they like to do them, and probably won't do them after the initial coverage.

I heard there were some haters in this thread. Is this true? Why people hating?

Because they had a over the shoulder quick look on a Microsoft Surface game. Now people think that they were lying when they said they hate doing that, despite them doing it out of necessity. People need to use their heads a little bit.

STOP BRINGING LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE INTO THIS ARGUMENT RRRRGGGHHAAAAAAAA
 
I don't understand how this is even an argument. Jeff has said why they don't do Vita QLs and it makes sense. Of course they are gonna get video of Skulls on the Surface. Hot new technology that is months away from release? They are gonna want to get video of it however they can get it.
 
Sometimes I look at all this hate and I just think: Wow. Why all the hate? Where is the love? Maybe if we had more love, then there wouldn't be hate. Just a li'l something to think about.

But when there's hate, Jeff and Brad show up. When there's love, it gets creepy.

That whole promo video, I just couldn't believe the words coming out of everyone's mouth. That coupled with the XTREME editing was truly a sight to behold.

-Go up to drunk people on the street
-Tell them to say some extreme lines
-Film them while wildly twisted the camera around

Ah, it was a simpler time.
