Most excellent.
Last year guests waiting to appear on the late night shows could be heard mingling on the main feed, I would guess a holding area is meant to prevent this.

I can't tell if it is sad that I'm mostly looking forward to E3 because of GB's content. The last few years have been pretty boring for me.
You are not alone with that feeling.

Well sale trends in holiday season is 3x as much as sales trends in the first 10 months since more people buy games in the holiday season according to npd so I could see it doing better than it did But yeah long term would have been an issue.

The GB coverage of E3 is the main reason I'm actually looking forward to E3 as well. Last year was fantastic and this year should be better with Dan and Jason plus more conferences to watch.

if anything we're entering a new era of single-player games because adding yet another mutliplayer game to market isn't doing anyone any favors.
in an ideal world anyway.
actually Evolve is probably great from a publisher standpoint. they probably made their money back and the interest is dying off so fast that server costs are negligible. and it's cheaper than making a campaign mode.

Also evolve was a thq game which led to take two spending $10million on getting the game.

Evolve kind of feels like Titanfalls misguided cousin.
I think you already know the answer to that.

I kinda doubt Jason will spend much time in front of the camera. But on the plus side, that might mean that Vinny will? Probably wishful thinking?
He is the video bossman after all.

No one will review games on giantbomb ever again.

Since I am the new hire I will review j stars when it comes out
Ooh I'm playing through 999 right now too and have only the "true" ending playthrough left to do. Hopefully the payoff will be worth it though as its been super tedious doing the multiple bad ending playthroughs. I feel the story so far hasn't been all that great, at least not enough to warrant the praise this game gets, but I'll stick with it in the hope that everything will come together in the end.
Thanks for alerting me to the impressions as I totally forgot Patrick did that.
I thought it was Vinny and Patrick.

Vinny will play it if Max deems him worthy. Jeff said he's interested. Dan and Brad will probably at least try it.
Most likely nobody on staff finishes it.

He could be on the conference streams as Vinny was last year.
That was pretty funny! I hope they do something similar this year, or what Jeff and Vinny did for PAX. Those videos are the best.
I don't know if this is the place to post it, but Vinny favourite The Book of Unwritten Tales is 99 cents at the Humble Store right now: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/thebookofunwrittentales_storefront
edit: The first one, of course. He still had it on his GotY list 2(?) years ago.

Yowzers. That's crazy, and it means that even if purchased during a sale, there would probably be a huge drop in gameplay relatively quickly. Though what's interesting is that it seems to be sticking at an average of 1,000 players, probably the dedicated people who would make entering the game a terrible pain.
I feel like this exemplifies the need for some kind of Single Player content.
Same. This will be my first GB@E3 and given the archives I watched, I'm real excited to see this live. The only reason I even remembered E3 happened last year was because SBF did their "let's watch" of the content.

I know I'm late on this but: I have been listening to the bombcast since 1956 but I have to say, never have I been more disgusted with Jeff's opinion than during the last one. Not liking Half Life? Okay, whatever. Not liking Red Dead? Fine.
But hating on David Wise? No. I will draw a line in the sand here. I will no longer tolerate such unethical behaviour.
I will write Jeff a message on tumblr right now, explaining how wrong he was, I'm sure he will think about it.

GB content is the only good thing about that week-long infomercial.

He's been responding to way stupider shit so you might actually get a response.

I hope that Dan does the Wise vs Kirkhope challenge on the bombcast this week.

I don't actually want to anger Jeff. What if he finds out where I live?
Ehh whatever. It deserved to win, but I didn't care.
In all honesty though, it was a tiny bit hard for me to listen to Jeff and Brad teaming up against David fucking Wise, even if they obviously just did it to get a reaction from people.
I'm surprised someone actually expects them to review it.
I bet a few of them will play a bit of it, but I'm still not certain any of them will actually finish it.
As I recall, only Patrick and Vinny finished Witcher 2, and Vinny doesn't have the time for a game like the Witcher any more.
In addition, E3 is right around the corner, so they're probably super busy. Witcher 3 is going to fall into the void.
Fantastapotamus

Ha, yeah no way. If you are only looking for Witcher 3 coverage you probably shouldn't visit GB. Especially cause Witcher 3 will be much longer than Witcher 2.
not really salty about that. just annoyed they were dismissing Wise without actually looking up all the games he composed that have some amazing tracks.
I don't get why people are continually expecting GB to provide extensive RPG coverage. The Souls games are the only ones to get extensive amounts of video. If you add in discussion on the Bombcast I suppose you could add in the Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Mass Effect beyond that. Even all those games are really hybrids, and a lot of people would quibble with defining them as RPGs.
Persona 5 is really up in the air. I can see it getting extensive discussion, but I can also see it getting talked about one week and then never again.
But to sound like a broken record, Giant Bomb has never been the site for RPGs. Just treat any expanded coverage of one as a special treat, and not the norm.

this is incomprehensible, how could you enjoy dr and not enjoy 999?
i guess the ost is far better on dr
is Rorie gonna write a review for Pillars? seems like they had him playing that game for the site, iirc
Accurate. GB is E3 as far as I'm concerned.

i would choose dr over 999
I chose a 3DS over a Vita 3 weeks ago because I thought the general consensus was 999/VLR > Danganronpa.

They both have their charms.
DR is far more anime though.

maybe just wait for PSTV to go on sale again? obviously it's not portable but you can get the ability to play Vita games for like $50 and it's totally worth it for the DR games alone if you're into that
disgusting. *folds arms*

Ace attorney is better than Danganronpa and 999/VLR.
Saw that it took Kevin van Ord around 100 hours to finish the Witcher 3. I would be surprised if anyone from GB finishes the game this year. Completionist Vinny will probably take 120-130 hours.
Honestly, the 100 hours scare me a bit. I hope that game is not way too long for his own good. Witcher 2 had really the perfect length for an RPG.

I love me a long RPG but saying that it's 100 hours sounds more like DA:I levels of padding.
