The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

Sonic Racing looks fast/fun/challenging. I strangely really want to play that game.

Sad their planetside 2 QL is kind of Meh...It's clear Jeff just isn't "feeling it" with that game. But i found their experience true to mine. REALLY confusing game at first, you can often feel lost/like you aren't actually doing anything. BUt man, those fun moments are REALLY fun.
 
It's a shame they couldn't do the quick look with an organised giantbomb outfit, that QL was nothing like my experience of planet side 2 :(

Rolling around with an organised outfit and battling it out against other outfits gives the best shooter experience short of ARMA.
 
Are they not allowed to swear in QLs now? I am totally fine with it but it's not the first time I heard them say "F it up" or something similar to that fashion.

Just curious, is all.

They've always talked about "eff'ing" up instead of fucking up - see their discussion on the bombast about suicide eff-bombers, etc.
 
Hard game to QL. Should have been a TNT with the GB team running around.

Given the amount of research the guys would put into PS2 before playing it, it would be the absolute worst possible TNT. They'd just run around slack-jawed and confused for 1.5 hours.

They use "F" when they feel it's more funny. That's about it.
 
Ladies, remember "Stay Dead" ?

Hey, Planetside looks okay. I thought I remembered something about the game, and it was the crashing your spawn into the world.


Sonic racers thing looks much more competent than I would have guessed. I've never been a fan of checkpoint racing, though. I much prefer just killing each other while racing.
 
So a Baldur's Gate EE QL is coming up in 2h30m. Who do you guys reckon are playing? I'm hoping for at least Dave, and probably Vinny. Maybe the flight club takes on the task?
 
Could someone let a BG virgin know if there are any major spoilers in the QL? And if so, how far should one play before it would be safe to view it? iPad version won't be out for some time yet :(

Just started watching it, but they're starting in the first town, which is about an hour or two in. Since neither have played it before, you're probably safe from spoilers unless you don't want to know what happens in the very beginning.
 
"ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my life as we play a little hoarders," thought ryan davis as he woke up in a pile of several thousand nesssss tapes. he wondered if this scene could be a vertical slice, emblemic of the dark middle chapter of his roguelike life. obstensively, there are so more many janky systems to explore to determine if this really was the gamefeel of his life. but this was getting a little too inside baseball.

Baldur's Gate seems to suffer from the same thing as Diablo 2 does for me, where the environments are highly detailed colourful 2D art and then all the characters are small low-res sprites running around fast as shit so I can't tell what the hell is going on. I didn't have this problem in the nineties but I guess getting a screen that has a resolution of more than 640*480 is part of the problem.
