It's been a while since I looked at GB site comments but someone managed to get themselves angry at that E3 video.

He went to FILM SCHOOL and therefore it was an artistic choice.

Let's just transfuse Ben and Abby into Aen. A gigantic hipster WNBA player.
Is that part of your fetish?

Are they afraid to call Whitta out on his nonsense or something? There are plenty of reasons to choose PS4 over Xbox and that's been proven over the past 4 years. Even just from this year Jeff loved Horizon and Alex loves Nier and Yakuza but all they could say is friends lists? I hate it when they don't speak their mind just because a guest is saying the opposite.

But is it your mind, or really their mind?

They've already said as much multiple times on other bombcasts or videos.
They generally did not call him out on his weird mindset about "no games". I think they just did not bother honestly. I have not watched the video, maybe their mimics would give away a bit more.

Honestly I would have said "if you want to play japanese games, get a PS4. If not, there is no difference between an Xbox or PS4".

To be fair for brad there is no game other than destiny.
Others are just pale imitations.

At this point that is one of the two major differences between the consoles. The other being quality 1st party support from studios like ND and Guerrilla. If MS had more 1st party games worth playing, I'd put the consoles closer together. Maybe Sea of Thieves and Crackdown will close that gap, but the lack of Japanese titles will continue to be a sticking point for many gamers.

Aren't 343 knocking halo out of the park?
Fire the millenials
This is what happens when you hire millennials.
They are knocking it out of something that's for sure.
The Halo 5 campaign was mostly mediocre, sometimes terrible and often infuriating.

About what, specifically?

I think you're projecting, to me it felt like they totally agreed in the moment.
It's disappointing they didn't mention the great & unique titles that have come out this year, but *shrug*.
Xbox and PS4 being basically the same. There's been at least one PS4 exclusive in the NPD top 10 every month of this year so far. If the argument is that the American market doesn't distinguish between PS4 and Xbox because of exclusives like Horizon, MLB, Nier, Persona, etc then it's wrong. If the argument is Giant bomb doesn't invest considerably more time in the PS4 than the Xbox due to console exclusives like Yakuza, Horizon, Nier, Persona, etc. then it's also wrong.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah on the exclusive front Sony seems to be head and shoulders over Microsoft.

The Halo 4 campaign was fantastic, but its multiplayer was not. Halo 5's multiplayer was fantastic (apparently; never played it), but its campaign was not.
So I guess it's 50/50.
I'm pretty sure they just don't want a mob of fanboys coming after them. Also, in their line of work with how much games they play, I'm sure the lines between all the consoles get sort of blurred.
LOL
The past few Halo games haven't done much at all to advance the core of Halo. There is a very vocal minority that will shill every release despite that.
It's a mixed bag in terms of actual quality, but just look at Halo's status in the industry when Halo 5 came out vs when Halo 3 came out. It's gone way down in public perception and Halo 5 was one of the lowest selling Halos

Weird, alright, I know the quality is kinda up and down but I thought people still liked it MCC notwithstanding.
Here I thought people didn't like the campaign in either Halo 4 or 5 due to the route 343 took with the series. I haven't touched Halo since 2 and that was because I never got a 360 or an X1.
As for Whitta's comments and GB's rebuttal (or lack thereof), most consumers go where either the best deal is or where their friends, family, and co-workers play. Sony's had the more power console at the cheaper value and that matters more than Sony having more Japanese titles or some really good exclusive 1st and 3rd party titles. It totally matters to us on GAF, but because we are part of their base, core consumer, not the wider audience that still looks forward maybe 2-3 releases a year at most and they all being CoD or sports titles.
Idk, I wouldn't lose sleep over Gary saying they are essentially the same when most consumers probably look at the X1 and PS4 the same way.

Besides I got used to whitta saying dumb, biased shit on the tested podcast already!
For some, Halo, Forza and Gears make the Xbox one the obvious choice. For others Sony's first party games speak to them more. But for most gamers, third party games are the only thing that matter and so friends list becomes the obvious decider
You know what I mean. Something like ReCore is AA and it's mostly dead.
Dave, why is the mini map so HUUUUUGE.

Back when I played it, I honestly thought the Halo 4 campaign was the best of the series so far. I have not played it since, so who knows if my opinion would remain the same.
Me neither. It's just weird that everyone nodded in agreement, when they all know how patently false a statement it was.

Very mixed feelings across people on 4, but it did well enough critically.
Personally - it's mediocre at best. 5 is maybe mildly better, but makes its own set of mistakes.
Oh yeah, that game.
Shame it's headed by a Gamergater. I vaguely remember he compared Sarkeesian to a Nazi.
