The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

Same thing could be said about video games in general or comics or whatever, no? Maybe we don't understand Skylanders, and thus judge it to be a thing for kids only. Same as someone who doesn't understand video games would judge them as kids toys.

You really need to listen to them more wax poetic about drobot if you're labeling their coverage as "serious".

Plus some dudes just like to collect stuff. To have "the complete set". Not because they think it'll be valuable, but just because they think it's cool and like to collect things (I had a brother who used to collect Hot Wheels).

I kept thinking that I wouldn't be able to scroll further, but then it just kept going. Goodness.
Looks like a really solid kid's game. Not wild about how often roadblocks requiring new figures was popping up, but that's the nature of these things. Looks like a good holiday purchase, if nothing else.
End of the QL made me laugh. Ryan's sad face coupled with Jeff's "I have three spyros." line killed me.
Pretty much the same as BF3: looks good on PC, looks not good on current gen consoles.
Pretty much. Shoot those dudes.
And then you went into the dumb zone.
Just started watching the MOH Quick Look. I read in the other GB thread that Brad didn't do so great, so I'll see how that goes.
Also, on the topic of Skylanders, Jeff got a few details wrong in the quick look. The biggest being that you can actually skip text and cutscenes now, which makes the game much more tolerable. But other than that, I wonder how he feels about not really digging the game after dumping $200 or so on it. I like it as much as the first (it's okay), but I refuse to play as any characters that don't have a significant speed boosting ability because the game is indeed SLOW.

looks just as boring as the first game. i don't get this franchise even with the toy novelty. kinda glad i'm not into it considering how addicted some people have become with the figures.
It's a pretty decent Gauntlet clone with Kirby or LEGO style secret stuff hidden around the levels (they don't get into that stuff much in the Quick Look). But it's not ~$130 good, yeah, which is about how much you have to spend to get access to everything. I borrowed a lot of the Skylanders stuff I use to play the game, so I don't really feel bad about it!
lol, you got me

omg Killzone stole Target Earth's story. They should sue.

Damn.
I thought Jeff was a top tier Skylanders fan, and suddenly DARK GAMEMASTER78 RISES
Both Chop Chop and Drobot are pretty crappy, yo. Trigger Happy is top tier. Dude can do a Kamehameha wave.
As for the MOH quick look: Brad goofs a few time, but it's nothing too disastrous.

I still enjoy sandbox shooters like Crysis, Halo and FarCry but linear, super scripted COD style campaigns are not even a little appealing at this point.
Man...
The Drobot voice is pretty awesome if you ask me...

What's the difference between CG and pre-render video created in the game engine at a level of detail that can't be rendered in real time?
One can look ok, the other looks better than realtime, but it still looks like shit?
It can look like that...if you're on PC. It did in BF3 anyway.
If they're pre-rendered they're CG. That's what CG means. It doesn't delineate between what engines and assets are used to do the rendering.
Besides, they don't look like in-engine to me. Maybe I just can't tell because of the pleb bitrate, though.

When Brad started laughing at the pizza/patch list, he looked WAY too much like Brad Muir. It was frightening.

me tooI want some pizza now
Haven't finished the MOH QL but kind of dislike how they treat what seems like standard/uncommon 360 problems and quirks as purely unique to MOH. Day 1 patch and 2nd disk installation? Isn't that stuff pretty usual to most games? At the very least not something that's like, "Oh great, this game is already so bad", I mean haven't some triple A titles have these things?
Also the music + pizza + patch notes stuff was kinda annoying, but whatever, I don't care that much about MOH to make a fuss.

we need a list of all the gameshow quicklooks they've done.
Patrick in particular seemed to go into the QL with an agenda that he was not going to like the game no matter what.
