Giant Bomb #27 | http://cbsinteractive.com/careers

This is the one place the durability bothers me. Shields should last much longer when you're riding them.

Surprisingly, the shield I used somehow survived the entire trip down.

I beat it last night, and my overall experience was outstanding.

But I think the performance issues affected me more than I expected. Many of the spectacular moments that I had in the open world were diminished by either a bad framerate, poor draw distance, or blurry textures.

It's a shame because I can only imagine what it would look like on a PS4 or PC.

Disclaimer: this was on the WiiU.

I'm going through the Wii U version as well and it feels like its in this "The Last of Us" kind of place where it looks good and could potentially look amazing, but runs worse than the average big release because its pushing against the console's limits. Unfortunately the Switch version isn't much of an improvement, but I'll be glad to rip my Wii U version for a second run when its ironed out for Cemu. The interesting thing about my experience with the framerate is that I'm usually very sensitive to bad framerate (headaches, dizziness, etc) but I haven't felt any of that in my 57 hours with the game so far.

I spent an hour this morning watching three grown men try and put goo in a hole, which meant I didn't have time to to watch the Snipperclips Quick Look.

I made the mistake of going into the Kinda Funny thread out of morbid curiosity.

I was surprised how critical they were over there. Which makes it more of a mess, I guess.

Oh.
It's that time of the year again.
PAX sucks.

"Man, it would be really cool if GB could travel around the country and meet fans and record videos instead of staying holed up in SF."

"Where's the content?! Fuck PAX!"

Apart from the hilariously ill-conceived World Tour, has that ever been a thing people ask for?

I don't even like them taking phone calls from the fans, although I must admit the recent UPF call in shows have actually been pretty decent.

Feels like someone brings it up in every Jar Time/Q&A/Call-in show, and Jeff has mentioned often how it's something he wants to do.

I'm sure he'd prefer to break away from the PAX circuit, though, but it's better than nothing. Ain't gonna pretend like many of their best videos are from outside of the office.

This post would be more valid if they'd recorded more videos than their own panel at PAX.

A panel with cringe-worthy QA. Business as usual.

and 50% of the panel is unwatchable Q&A section.

so 1 hour or 2 if you watch the whole thing to make up for near zero content for 4 days, and this happens twice a year with Pax and Pax East

PAX sucks.

QA panels are always the worst. I'd probably kill someone if I had to answer the same three stupid questions over and over again from people who don't pay attention to those same questions being asked by the person in front of them.

Edit: Someone needs to ask if GB is going to try to compete with Waypoint on shipping/fanservice/sex content.

A PAX supercut would be pretty neat. They should get Drew on that. Oh...

I just realized that Rorie is the living embodiment of Q&A.

noclip is going to invade Giantbomb.

But then Austin will show up and everyone will chant "Waypoint! Waypoint!".

Then they will team with noclip and form the Alliance.

Jeff will defect to the Alliance and write fanfics about Sonic and Overwatch shipping

Also all articles will be about the most pointless mods in existance and everything will start with "Does [HEADERSUBJECT] fuck?"

Jeff would be more about Sonic x Mr. Do x Trackmania fanfics. Dan of course would go with the popular Zelda x Taco Bell fanfics as well as write about what it's like to be a professional heel.
