well if you want to feel cold and alone some more they have a premium subscription sale coming up
Caught a case of the VD, eh?
Nah Dan and Brad seem to call it "GOTY" every time they put out a video.
I might bite even though I'm subbed for maybe 3+ years at this point. Giant Bomb is the best.
It's like the best moment from giant bomb in the past two months, maybe more.
Was a content slump/debating premium sub value always a thing? Genuine question, I don't remember when I first became a subscriber but it felt more characteristic of after Ryan than before (despite there still being PAX commitments). I could totally be muddling up my recollection though.

The lack of Attack on Titan QL on upcoming content is really frustrating me. After hearing Jeff talk about it on the bombcast, I've been wanting to see them cover the game.
Am I the only one who hates these PAX sessions? Content becomes a drag, and the only people who really benefit from GB going to them are those who can attend themselves.
I wish they were going to TGS instead...one of my favorite periods of GB coverage was the one year they went to TGS. The videos, and podcasts from then were awesome.

See the last week of posts in the previous thread.
Also yeah, they've been lamenting Japan trips forever, I think even with TGS' dubious relevance in coverage they would go in a heartbeat if it was feasible
The Attack on Titan QL might be a result of their "do it if they're interested" approach.
Yeah it's definitely more for their live audience. I'd be OK with it if they could upload their panels sooner, but I understand why that's a hard thing to do.
I wish they would do more walk-around stuff and coverage, but they seem to not have the people to do that.
At some point I'm subscribed purely out of my wish to support GB. I watch nearly all of their content, so I feel good about giving them the money despite it feeling like there's a dearth of premium content.
I know there's a collective hate boner for Jim Sterling here, but this is directly relevant to this week's Bombcast. The single player pay to win stuff was forced on the studio by corporate (London office) two weeks before the game went gold.

Lately I don't know if that's the problem. They might not have as big of a crew right now as when they were in the Whiskey Media office with the other sites, but they were definitely smaller when they were in the first office in the basement. Yet when they were in the basement, they produced their best content. Perhaps that was because Ryan was a part of it, but I also just feel like Jeff is not into as much anymore either.

Watched it until I realised he only had one source. Could be complete bullshit.
Could be complete bullshit, but after playing the game the story makes a lot of sense.

True, I know nothing about the game to be honest but this is like those e-mails that get sent into the Bombcast from anonymous developers.
It sure does. The game itself is so good, filled with so much detail and excellent design, that it does make sense that it's not the studio at all bolting this nonsense onto the game.
And to be clear, the game is great. Everyone who played DXHR should play this as well. It's basically the same game with less globe trotting and WAY better graphics and shooting (it's still not like CoD or something, but if you want to use guns its VASTLY superior to DXHR).
The game itself is good. Don't bother with the dumb multiplayer/free2play Breach thing that sucks. Don't use any of the microtransatctions. Just play the game and have fun. It is good. But holy cow all the rest of the stuff around it is just unbelieveable. What a clusterfuck it must be over there at SE-EU or whoever is making those calls.

Do the buyable praxis work with the highest difficulty mode? I can see some people using them since that mode can't be used with new game+.

Even if it is one source, Jim usually does his best to get something reputable/vetted and I don't think he would just run with a rumor.

I'm not really sure citing splitting Hitman into episodes is an example of a publisher running roughshod over their devs.
Best thing that happened to that game and they've always seemed genuine in their appreciation of the format.

Yeah.
Hitman is really damn great in its current format. And it works for that game. It gives the devs time to plan what they do next(Without having to create a number of sets for a full game release) and lets them be able to customize 'hits' on a weekly basis.

As if the last couple months haven't killed that off already.
But, even if Danny moves East, it'll let them kill it gracefully. And move directly to Virish, Danny explaining deep Irish lore and folktales to Vinny.

This is me. I figure I'll be subbed as long as the site exists even if I don't watch or love it nearly as much as I once did. If anything, they're still way ahead in hours of entertainment they've given me versus how much I've paid.

The only way I see Danny going to GBE is if Vinny is leaving. If Vinny did want to step away from the site he would be the ideal replacement. I cannot see them both working together as they both work the same type of job, although Vinny has more experience.
*awaits vinny's announcement tomorrow*
PS: Uploading the E3 video was Vinny's going away present to us all.

No...fucking no. I will be totally done with GB if Vinny ever leaves.
😩😩😩
Worst fucking post in GB OT history,
If this happens i will unsubscribe and delete my GB account.
Didn't Vinny say he wanted another person to help with production since it was a lot to do by himself?

The fuck you say
Makes sense. Vinny was always too good to stay in this ramshackle operation. Seeing as they work at CBS, someone higher up in the chain probably noticed him and has now hired him to do higher tier production work in the TV field. I'm just surprised it took this long.
