It's just a dumb unboxing!

I'm sure there is some reason people love to watch other people unbox stuff, like some part of the brain gets activated or something by seeing a box being opened but maaaaaan. It's just an unboxing. Just anohter part of YouTube culture I don't get.

Everybody knows you have to scream like a fucking idiot who's never encountered the phenomenon of a cardboard box before if you want to be considered a true professional.

 

[LiK]

unboxings are never entertaining unless you're like 5 years old..

 

[ev0]

The things I've found unboxings most useful for is when I have to rebox my old consoles. Sometimes I just cant remember the specific way they got everything to fit neatly inside.

(yes I'm OCD and keep every piece of packaging and try to put it back the way I got it)

 

[Empty Space]

A few outlets have reported issues with specifically the left Joycon occasionally disconnecting/having a lot of input lag for a few seconds:

That's disconcerting, but I think I'm still going to keep my pre-order for the time being. I can always flip the console if supply is low.

Yeah, plus hopefully it's something they can iron out with a Day 1 patch. That would be really shitty if half of one of the controllers didn't work

Night in the Woods QL is MEATY.

Let's watch, I've been interested in it but I don't know if I should jump in or not.

I find it hard to believe Nintendo would have missed this if it was a hardware issue, surely it must just be a firmware issue. Regardless, I'm glad I'll mainly be playing it as a handheld just in case Nintendo has completely lost it.

My fav thing about the new YT iOS app is how they bury the comment under rows and rows of video recommendations so I never accidentally read them.

I wish I had that restraint. Even with the hide youtube comments extension installed, I some times disable it to read them. Ugh..

Edit:

Sometimes the comments in these threads are just as low quality as the youtube ones.

its weird that its ok when people dont want certain characters or people on screen then its fine but if you dont find a personality on a personality based video game site very entertaining or even find them annoying than you're vile and disgusting pig filth

 

[I speel my dreenk]

If Giant Bomb just ends up with Jeff sitting in the dark playing the old video games, I'll probably keep watching.

I already watch when that happens, why stop now?

The problem is when people are talking about why they dont like said personality, stray into personal attacks, and just crap all over the person.

I'm not seeing what Jeff is seeing when he keeps relating that Windjammers knock-off to Rocket League.

The menus, music, and good gameplay? I get the same vibe.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

so in your soft reboot or whatever of a series that is about space exploration and stuff you make everything feel like the original games and barely introduce any new alien species

That was totally radical, dude.

The Mass Effect multiplayer is the reason I'm actually hesitating between getting it on PC or PS4.

My friends are playing on PS4 mostly but I upgraded my PC last year with a sweet 1080....

How come no one posts bombcast threads on gaming side anymore?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

How come no one posts bombcast threads on gaming side anymore?

Because they got like 2 pages of posts and then died.

Live Bombcast killed it

 

[daveo42]

Split between watching the video live vs listening to the podcast later in the evening.

Because they got like 2 pages of posts and then died.

Also this. See also how Beastcast threads usually turn out.

Night in the Woods QL is MEATY.

I'm really digging it so far, looking forward to seeing what they think.

[Skyzard]

Usually I'd agree but this video was a bit flat for my liking. It wasn't even new footage afaik.

Yeah it says he played it, but all that footage is just from the trailers and the recent gameplay videos.

Ahh, yeah just got finished with it. Shame.

Still, I hope they keep that format even when they are actually playing games for quick looks. Makes it even better.

2017 has been a really great years for video games so far. Night in the Woods is the only game that has been disappointing.

For Honor's online and now this Berserk have really soured it for me but the rest of the year still looks great

I enjoyed For Honor's beta way more than I expected to and will probably pick it up in the near future, but definitely disappointing to hear about the server issues.

I was expecting very little from Beserk because Omega Force

Omega Force makes good games for the niche they fill

this is far below their standards

Play Dark souls if you want a berserk game.
