The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

I have read it and if I was in the market for a football game I still don't know why I should pick PES.

Because the gameplay and goal scoring are still much more rewarding than in FIFA.

I think Vinny was trying to aim with the D-pad on those penalties instead of using the left stick.

I'll just ignore any idiocy and talk about the game:

I can't believe the player models in PES still look so terrible. The one in FIFA are way better. Those frame rate issues during gameplay are also terrible. As far as I know FIFA has some as well, but not during gameplay. Judging by both demos I think FIFA also feels better. I really don't know why anyone would choose PES at this point.

PES has made so few steps forward during this whole generation that it's kinda embarrassing, to be honest.

I've been playing ISS and PES over FIFA all my life, huge fan... but I like footy too much to ignore the clearly superior game.
 
I now see a sports game QL from Vinny and Jeff's perspective. I'm as clueless about soccer as they are. I do find the international competition aspect very fascinating, though.
 
Which sports games are left for them to cover? They did Madden, NBA 2K, NHL, PES.

FIFA and MLB The Show? I know there's Rugby and Cricket games but these are minor titles so I'm not sure how well they hold up to the high standards of the other entries.

edit: not sure if Tiger Woods would count, Ryan is usually involved with those QLs.
 
I really, really want them to do a cricket game.

Mostly because I know it pretty well so seeing them trying to decipher the clusterfuck of a sport that is cricket is going to be hilarious.
 
I laughed really hard when Vinny missed that sitter. I hope they do FIFA, if only for completeness.

To be honest, compared to American sports, it's really quite simple and easy to pick up. That's one of the primary reasons why it is so popular, because all you need is a ball and something to mark goals with. The only thing that's convoluted to understand is the offside rule (represented by the line Jeff and Vinny didn't understand), which still, is fairly simple.
 
Aren't there yearly rugby games too? I have the demo of one on my 360 and it's hilarious to play with people because no one knows the rules.
 
Vinny was killing it during the Fable QL. Between "Is this fun?," screaming fireball all of the time, and attempting to get magic shard to recognize through different phrases, I was cracking up.

Game looks serviceable, but still not interested in the Fable universe.

No, not really yearly. There were a couple released last year.

Rugby games aren't that common, though. It doesn't really work that well as a game.
 
lazy saturday afternoon over here and I'm catching up with TNT. I thought it worked pretty well. The two game shows are a bit riskier and hit or miss but I enjoyed this one.

The combo worked well for me. fun little show.
 
All of the sports QLs continue to be excellent. The Vinny/Jeff combo is always on target.

Retro City's user interface stuff is nuts. I would almost buy the game to just mess with that. Wasn't terribly excited for the game before the QL, but it looks like something worth picking up in the future.

Not feeling the Derick Fin thing. Looks kinda meh, and gameplay looks rather boring after a few minutes.
 
I want an Unreal Tournament Clock now :(

edit: And Jeff may have stumbled upon something... I'd like to see some exhibition games with a backcourt violation rule in place (IE once the ball is advanced beyond the halfway point you can't pass it back behind it).

As far as I'm aware, strip is just another name for a football kit, a shirt that has nothing to do with football isn't called a strip.

In the UK, strip is any kind of team sports kit I think, mainly football and rugby

A shirt is a shirt
A football shirt is a football shirt
Add a pair of football shorts, and it becomes a strip
Add a pair of football socks, and you're a joke, unless you're under 5 years old :D

Wow this game looks terrible.

Its like instead of the devs trying to do one thing well, they did ten things badly.

Points for effort I suppose

Same thing with ARMA, those games do so much but aren't really that good at anything except as crazy large-scale 32-player cooperation things with heavy mods.

Edit: The connection obviously being the developer, Bohemia.
 
I laughed at the tutorial.

Unless there are first person shooter segments in the game (which if there is then I rescind my statement) why make your strategy game tutorial a FPS?
 
I am 10 QL's behind. Havn't seen a premium video in like 2 weeks.


They need to stop making new content. They are doing too much work.

Wait, since when do they do QLs on Sunday?
Click to expand...

They just got a whole bunch of people to subscribe to a premium membership, so I'm pretty sure they're going into overdrive mode making sure that theres content constantly.

Also, there's games coming out again! So I think they just did a bunch of quick looks and have been queuing them up.
