Yep! I'm like Vinny, I don't give a shit about pitting games against each other. I'm that weirdo that just likes playing them.

I've got some really profoundly bad news for you about how Giant Bomb allocates their resources for nearly an entire month out of the year!

ok so who's going to contend for "please stop" this year?

Ubisoft's insane pre-order scheme for AC?
Fidget spinners?
Dabbing?
Xbox naming?

Considering MGSV is easily the best MGS game, I'd agree.

you just wait for 8k to be everywhere at CES this year and everyone fumbling left and right
 
What's wrong with Gary Whitta? He was entertaining on the bombcast.

I thought he added good energy. It's fun when people ask each other questions and create discussion. He doesn't pretend to be knowledgable or in the know about video games, he's just a fan and it was a good fit for the Bombcast IMO.
 
I definitely agree dungeons were the weakest aspect of BotW, I missed the classic style of dungeons. The beasts were cool but not even close to a replacement for regular dungeons.

On another note Gary Whitta seems great on the bombcast, not sure why some of you guys said it was bad??

4K is such a bullshit marketing term. It doesn't even hit 4000 vertical pixels. 2160p is more accurate.

Listening to the crew talk about how indistinguishable the PS4 and Xbox was really strange. Sure, if your optics are entirely on 3rd party AAA, both consoles are basically the same. But if you're looking at mid tier or Japanese games, PS4 and Xbox are night and day.

Given the tastes of people like Jeff and Brad, I can understand them not noticing. But fucking Alex was there and not a single mention from him about Nier Automata, Persona or Yakuza?? I can understand no one on Giant Bomb bringing up more niche PS4 games like Gundam Versus or Grand Kingdom, but those three alone are already huge differentiators between the consoles. Same applies for Xbox's backwards compatibility.

I'm a bit more hesitant to bring this other point up as well since it straddles the line with console warrior bullshit, but saying Sony first party is in a rut just months after a Sony first party released and was awarded five stars on Giant Bomb is really fucking weird.

I was basically going to say this exact thing, saying Sony is in a rut in this particular year is so weird.

Also Gary saying that he couldn't advise someone on which console to get because they have the same games... what Japanese games are people playing on Xbox? And what about the new AAA IP they released this year?

I basically disagreed with that entire section of the podcast, which is fine, different opinions and all that, I was just surprised that nobody countered it.
