It's a Quick Look

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
The Persona 5 thing wasn't a cross-coast QL though. They recorded it while Jeff was in NY.
It's such a bullshit answer. It's like all those people that bitch about Hollywood remaking old classics because it somehow destroys the legacy of the original. Never figured Jeff to be the type of guy that's all like "Noooo, don't ruin the original by making a sequel!" A bad Persona 5 ER would do absolutely zero to hurt the Persona 4 ER. And the talk of weird screenshot/share blocks means nothing because they capture everything with their own equipment anyways.
Just come out and say "Fuck that, we don't have the time to make that kind of series now."

Yeah, just watched it again. Above and beyond every other cutscene in the game, going to return to that game during the summer probably once the sea of great games die down to play the dlcs.

Eh, there's really nothing spoiled. Like, you can probalby watch it after you've played an hour.
Oh I wasn't alluding to that, they've had a few others where they weee able to do cross coast, plus other features in general like us vs. them. I feel like it would go a long way to get more of that stuff going even once In a while

Jeff mentioned on mixlr yesterday how he spent most of the day talking with a certain publisher about what's embargoed and what's not. TONS of restrictions(he didn't mention the game nor publisher but nothing big is out this week except for Persona 5).

If it wasn't a cross coast quick look then why did Jeff mention Drew commenting on something? It certainly sounded cross coast with Vinny just slightly behind.

I wonder how much time Jeff is spending on the hiring process.

i'm pretty sure it was cross-coast. at the beginning the time is shown on the subway menu of P5 (actual real world time) and there is some confusion between vinny and jeff because they are in different timezones
Agreed. I wish he just said that he'd like to play it on his own time, but that probably won't happen. I never thought it would happen since Jeff has seemed lukewarm on the idea from the beginning.

Fake Jigen is a massive piece of shit. Sudden drunk pissed-off Dojima seems pleasant.

Asking for a video thing to happen is a sure fire way for it not to happen.
So please start asking for more Ranking of Fighters.

alright
Yeah I really think with how good Giant Bomb East is, getting those hires for West should be incredible for Giant Bomb as a whole.
So anything good come out of that AMA outside of the shattering of ER dreams and Dan continuing to be a garbage human?
I'm sure this is one of the prime reasons why and ER isn't happening. The stream block on the game itself is super weird and I'm sure after talking to Atlus, they had to table even the idea of an ER for the forseeable future. Atlus seems to want to keep the game locked up tight for as long as possible. Hopefully they'll lift all these restrictions after launch, but I somehow doubt it will happen.
Edit: Time/Place stuff on the side of GB makes some sense too, since you're basically trying to live up to the first series and it might come off as forced instead of fast, loose, and fun. The positives on the QL are probably thanks to the lack of obligation on managing an ER.

There's only one fighter left to rank. And that's Evil Zone on PS1.

Sorry in advance but someone had to do something about the people saying "what soundtrack?" whenever Yakuza 0 gets mentioned.

I don't know that I understand how AMAs work but the bombers are the dudes in red, right? If so why is everyone answering questions for them?
Oh come on now Japan. You and your Germanophilia. That title is DUUUUUUMB.

Listening to the Bombcast and I want to chime in that I hate how there's the mentality of "game development is about a team so we aren't naming people" when every person in a team isn't the same.
A lead or director is more important than the people lower down the pole for the quality of the game since they are the ones okaying stuff. They also make more for that reason.
It's not that different from a director or an editor in a movie. A movie is also made by a team (a team just as big as some games at times) but saying that the light tech and the director contribute the same is dumb.
Anyway, we should name game directors and leads because they are important. They aren't replaceable cogs on a machine. And we are still aware the game is made by a lot of people but some people on the team are more important than others and that's okay.
Saying "it's about the team" then leads to situations like Andromeda where people read Bioware and assume it's the same people that made the original.
Rant over, but this annoys me a ton. Recognize individuals!!

Do you think Alex would get mad if Vinny started reading them out loud during Blue Bombing?

As a film director I highly disagree with most of this post.

Directed by Hideo Kojima
From the way the "creepy guy" talks in the flashback, I'm pretty sure the implication is that he's got political influence and police connections, which is probably why he got off scot-free and protag got boned.

Dude sounds like he has the links and is petty as fuck so i could see why the protag got the short end of the stick there.

^ Pretty much this. It makes alot of sense later in the game but that is non-spoilery jist of it.
