Great.
Next stop: Dark Souls.
Seriously, Jeff will turn off the game the second he swings a sword.

There's going to be some weird Patrick/Jeff Monster Hunter talk.
Can't wait for Jeff to call the controls garbage and Gaf to scream about it

So is HOTS actually any good?
I dont even know what a 5 star Brad review means anymore. I keep hearing bad things about single player which is what I am interested in.

Pro: Blizzard-quality gameplay and mission design.
Con: Blizzard-quality story and writing.
If you like RTS games, you will want to play it. If you're invested in any of the previous SC titles, you need to play it.

I'm ok with Jeff and or Patrick not liking Monster Hunter. It's a tough game to just jump in and get into. I commend Patrick for at least giving it a chance.

Somebody needs to gif Vinny blowing that dude's head off at the beginning of the video.
Same here. I heard the story is not very good. It's probably still better than in any other RTS franchise though. So, I dunno.
Everyone has different tastes but I was mislead by 5-Star-Brad reviews in the past (found Renegade Ops to be extremely boring and repetitive, coop or not).
Bad story but a fun as hell campaign with a ton of variety in the missions. If you've enjoyed the gameplay in past Starcraft games then you'd almost certainly like HotS as well. I can't speak about the multiplayer yet because I haven't started diving in but from what I understand reaction to the changes they've made is pretty positive.

I honestly don't remember laughing this hard at a quick look. Bless you, Vinny.

If Brad reviewed this thread, would he give it 5 stars?

If Jeff approached monster hunter like a fighting game he might get something out of it .

He'd score it 3 stars because even though he seemingly hates us he doesn't know how to give a lower score.
How many stars would you give gamespot

What about the single player interests you? Are you interested in the story at all?

Same here, I thought Vinny was just bullshitting about being in the lighthouse then a bullet just comes from there.
Yeah that ARMA quick look is one of the best ones that I've seen in a while and is a good indication for why Vinny should be in every quick look. The other guys can learn a thing or two from him, like actually enjoying yourself while playing the game instead of sitting there trying to explain the feature set of the game. I can get that information anywhere and frankly I'd rather see if it's enjoyable to play the game rather than what all the features are.
I'll never get this
different people for different types of games, that's GiantBomb's best "feature"
when you see a certain quick look going up you know wich ones are gonna be Drew or Vinny, or wich ones are gonna be Patrick, etc
for example Vinny was ill-suited for the Year Walk QL IMO. He continuously cracked jokes and made it hard to get a good reading on what to expect from a game that didnt have that much coverage
I of course enjoyed it and was laughing because Vinny, but he even said after a few minutes "yeah im joking around but seriously this looks cool" as if admitting that it wasnt that good of a representation on why you should get the game
Vinny is the one with less of a journalism/reviewer background, of course he's gonna have a different, more personal and "im just having fun" input. Giantbomb still tries to have informative content with the intent of showing you what these games are like if you're gonna play them seriously
I love Vinny as much as the next one and it's easy to see why he's the most likeable out there, but pure VinnyBomb would get old fast.

Oh cool, I always wondered if someone actually put one of these together even though I considered doing one myself just out of curiosity for seeing some goofy statistics.
lol, you mean $10 well spent!

Someone should write to Jeff about how they should include a date on games in the wiki for games that are no longer operational due to servers or something. For example 1 vs 100 is not playable because the service was killed, but there's no way to flag this on a game; all that is listed is a "release date" and not a "termination date".
Money well spent, I say.
