Chris Watters has been tweeting at her a countdown (Majora's Mask style) every day until her last day at GS so I'm gonna say that she's going to Ubisoft.

I was also frustrated early on because I used to turtle like a motherfucker in XCOM 1, but soon came to like the more aggressive gameplay that the timers encouraged. And the game reinforces that by giving you spells that let you chain multiple kills using a single AP.
The glancing blows though... that's some bullshit right there.

But I wanna! Besides, several members of my squad are Turians which are basically space turtles.
If I already feel like killing myself will it have the opposite effect?

First off they weren't minor performance issues and secondly they are still happening. I get drops to 20fps on high settings and no AA with a 980. Witcher 3 runs at a solid 60 on high for me. That's a real game.
People in this thread would still be complaining that he never finished that Assassin's Creed review and question why he was on the staff.
God, you just reminded me of that super dark joke Jeff made in the podcast they did after Ryan had passed.
it's Dan
Fuck.

I think the reason I tend to return to Pro Skater 4 over all the others is it integrated free skating and just exploring the levels into the campaign, which was always the more fun part of THPS anyway.

The impression I got from Jeff in particular is that he had a weird disdain for XCOM 2's PC exclusivity. (From their brief GotY talk, anyways. I don't remember their launch impressions at all.) Out of GB, I think it was Dan that only really played it though, for the QL.
While I wish they gave XCOM 2 more of a chance, they'd probably hate the timers and drop it anyways.
Oh yeah. The Mass Effect squadmates are sooo good. I can't believe how far modding has come; it's amazing.
I still haven't worked up the courage to dive back in to XCOM 2, so I've spent the time building up a giant pool of premade rookies.
You're gonna love Long War 2.

Exploring the levels is fun, but the real meat of Tony Hawk has always been busting nutty combos and incorporating as much of the level as you can into it.
Just ask Jeff.
dude they played uncharted
Performance is a lot better when the game only has to draw half the screen per frame.
I don't always agree with their choices, but if that bubble keeps you salty I consider that a net win.
The most important quality a new GiantBomb hire can have is agreeing with me about GOTY.

seriously though, what's your point
over half of the games on GAF's top ten are in GB's top ten, and the rest of GB's list is populated with games that only one or two people felt strongly about, which goes against your point of them having the same opinions as each other
they have way better reasons to look for a new hire with a fresh perspective than Uncharted 4 not being good enough to make their list

2016 has been a good reminder of the Neogaf bubble

GB's GOTY list is way better and more diverse than GAF's.
looks like it's being released solo too
You do realize gaf is in itself a bubble as well right?
Wait are you implying theyre hiring mark cerny?
The GAF GOTY list is extremely bland. Like, nothing in the top 10 makes you think "Oh wow, people here are pretty creative".
GB's had like 4 games that I could never see on a GAF GOTY list.

We didn't have hustle 'n tussle ways about settling it, either.
That said, I didn't expect TLG, Inside, or FFXV so high on that either.

why are there so many bubble bobble-likes out there
I don't get it, the game isn't that good

The one saving grace of Bubble Bobble is that Puzzle Bobble exists.

I think the only single-screen Bubble Bobble type thing I really enjoy is Zupapa

They've so completely lost sight of what made that show good. First session is some of my favorite TV ever, but now I just want it to die.
I was done with Sherlock when they turned Irene Adler into a lovesick damsel in distress.

Seriously, I just don't know what happened to that show. I fell in love with season 1 and 2 and loved all the cases. Then season 3 felt weaker but still had something to it that kept me somewhat invested. Season 4 just turned me off entirely and would not be sad if they take a good long break from making a new season.
Yep. Feel the same way about the third season of Hannibal. Seems like creators are so afraid of doing the same thing and go in crazy directions that nobody wanted.
