Much too long in my opinion. I think Jeff will sift through them this month, select someone in Feb and announce much before E3 (Feb.March)
I expect them to move way faster, honestly. Wouldn't be surprised to see the first piece of Cara content in February/March.
Could go either way I guess, given how crazy the lineup gets. Never was a fan personally (though he wasn't ever as bad as Borderlands guy).
Don't play with my heart like that. It's only going to make it more disappointing when she isn't hired.

Is the Cara thing wishful thinking or is it like when everyone knew Dan was the new hire a month before they announced it?
The Cara meme is only going to disappoint people who aren't realistic about the practical difficulties of her not being from NA.
Wishful thinking, never going to happen.

Agreed, they're really well put together.
The older Bombcast ones are slightly sad for me ever since Ryan passed (and doubly so now that Vinny has moved) but they're a nice reminder of how good the original four guys were together.

Yeah, not sure I like Patricks first Kotaku article. But I guess it sure is a Kotaku article.
I flipped some Tarot cards and they predicted the new hire will have the same first name as someone already hired by Giant Bomb, the new hire is going to have a new accent that no one else on the crew has, and "One more chance!" will occur more frequently during shuffles for a while. Sorry, I'm new to Tarot.
Don't do this too me!

How much is Clara making on Patreon anyway?
It currently says $2,771 per article. How many articles does she write for those who donate? If its one a week she is swimming on money. One a month? Ehhhhh.

He complains that he played 64 hours of a game that wasn't satisfying.
Stop playing if its not satisfying.
Not even close to one per month, I think.
edit: Okay, seems to be about 1 per month, actually.

Well ok. Its totally decent side money for her then.
If got to keep that at a full time job she would be doing real well for herself.

The title kind of got me. I love DA:I but I recognize the faults in it. I realize it won't be for everyone... what I don't get is why a game having a lot of optional padding "doesn't respect" his free time?
Maybe I'm taking the title too literally.
Aren't her articles about specific indie developers where she spends a lot of time with them before writing it? I can't imagine she'd be able to do that and work in NY full time.

Max Scoville's at IGN now, check that hire possibility off the list, as unlikely as it was anyway.

I don't know much about us immigration, but wouldn't they(GB) need to justify to CBS why she would be more qualified than any of the other US applicants ?

He kind of addresses this in his article...
Yup, it's a significant cost with no guarantee. Danny talked about it taking over 6 months for him, and he was employed at the UK arm of a US company for a few years before applying. Just cross that off the list I think.

I should really get back to it on PS4. Haven't played it since launch.
I saw Jeff and Dan favorite it on twitter and thought it was just a joke, due to the pic. I guess not. IGN's audience is probably 12 year olds on youtube, so it makes sense.
I just went through the Canadian version of this, it's NOT fun. Your whole life hinges on a pencil pusher's decision

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Having to go to the Warroom to send people out and having the Blacksmith in a different area then the traders was the most annoying thing in the game for me. The optional sidestuff was all bad but at least it was optional.
I'm guessing brad was referring to Jeff? Having played some war frame on ps4, unless they have updated it a lot, what the hell is wrong with Jeff?!
it's fucking ghoul isn't it

Well now you know how well that turned out.
I played some on PS4 at launch and then again on Xbox One just to see it. It changed quite a bit between releases. You get a ship, an AI pal, and story based mission points at first now.
The developers are incredibly dedicated to the game if nothing else. I could see myself maybe checking it out on PC one day.

DA: I is turning into my biggest disappointment of 2014. I just hate the mission design in the game, too much MMO-like bullshit, and the story isn't doing much for me. I really loved DA: O, but this?
Oh well, I can always fire up Baldur's Gate 2.
I really had to force myself to finally finish that game. By the time i reached the final side area that you can get on the war table to do side missions on i said fuck it and didn't do any in that area after doing most of the missions in the other 9 or however many side areas there were. Outside of seeing some of my favorite characters from the original DA game, i wasn't really feeling the story either.
With all of the bs you mentioned, i don't think i can go back and play it again as an asshole, and i used to love doing that in every Bioware game.

I dont even feel like I can be that much of an asshole in DA:I.
You can put some of it down to timing, but damn, it is kinda of amazing the impact Giant Bomb had/has on this industry. Really paved the way. Wish I was more of a fan of those guys - Greg is cool but only in a cohost/guest kind of way (he's always fantastic on the E3 podcasts).
I have a theory on the awful MMO-esque quest design of DA:I. Two years prior to launch was around the time The Old Republic really tanked and went F2P - what are the odds a bunch of devs from that were moved over to create quest content with no real mandate on how their approach should change? For all the story hype in TOR, a lot of the quest design was blander than WoW's.
Couple problems 1) there's a massive over saturation of video game reporters and no jobs for them, proving to immigration why Cara is needed above all the US applicants is hard. 2) This kind of work doesn't qualify for the 'genius visa' a lot of companies use to bring talent to the US.

What scares me is that Bioware has been talking a lot about how this is going to be the template for the next Mass Effect game.
I was never the biggest ME fan but my love for Sci-Fi was enough to get me through the games but if they just make DA:I in space I'm out.
