Watching shroud (CS pro) playing PUBG FPP, don't know if I can ever go back to murder island.

lol
Dude just wrecked 3 guys with a pistol two of which had better weapons

He wants this to be over.

I'm sure Alex feels the same way. I've enjoyed the streams, but if people start hating the game then it might be time to kill it.

 

[m29a]

He wants this to be over.

Does he? I think he's said a couple times that the game is totally fine. They all seem to enjoy those secret levels. I have no doubt Alex wants this series to be over though.

Vinny isn't the type to say 'this game sucks I dont want to see it anymore' even if everyone can tell he's thinking that

I mean look at how many times he's tried to excuse himself of not liking Splatoon instead of just flat out saying 'I dont like it'

All he said in about 5 minutes of watching was "that was close". I watch Giant Bomb to be entertained, not watch games be played well.

I'm entertained by high octane gaming not old farts being bad amirite bros

It's funny how the most enjoyable levels are the ones without FLUDD. Funnier that Dan doesn't realize it.

Also, you can obviously tell Alex gets frustrated at some of the levels, ESPECIALLY the ones with the fences and we haven't even gotten to the worst ones.

I think he also gets extra frustrated when they talk about silly things while he's struggling with those parts but he's too nice to say anything about it lol.

I subscribed to EA access for Titanfall 2...again.
This is probably the 5th time I subscribed. It's such a weird service. I really don't know why I would ever buy a (non mp) EA game again, if I can get it for 4€ after not even a year. I don't need to own Titanfall 2, I just want to play the SP once and that's it.

I hope all the hype from last year's goty discussion is earned

 

[Twin Tails]

The battle net story blew bens mind.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I just realized this shroud guy has been playing in first person

I'm waiting for Mass Effect Andromeda to be added. Then I'll play Titanfall 2, Mirror's Edge 2 and all the Mass Effect games again.

They should really do fpp squads
But they all hate that mode
It is the only way to play now

 

[Teddified]

You know when they hate something they will never even entertain the idea. for example never including NSMB on the mario maker poll even if it wouldn't get voted.

I don't see what the point of making people do what they don't want to do is. They'd be miserable in the video which would make it miserable to watch.

Same in Blue Bombin'.

It has to suck though to be pissed off at something you 'have' to do at the moment, and all of your other friends are having a blast not doing anything/laughing/having fun.

They had a busted disc not their fault

There's something immensely satisfying and entertaining seeing this game played at its absolute peak.

 

[throwawayname]

shroud guy stream is not safe for work, slaughtering people left and right.

 

[oti]

It would be a bit much to be "miserable" over using NSMB assets and mechanics. Petty, even.

 

[Human Trashcan]

Shroud's sub train is insane and insanely annoying with that sound clip. But holy hell that guy is just... dangerous. He should play squad games solo to make it fairer.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

mechanics is one thing

assets alone make it worthwhile to exclude it in the poll

what a tepid looking/sounding series of games

I don't think he's in any way prepared for what's happening right now.

He played squads with other pros last night.

 

[DanLongman]

Vinny may have liked Korn but hes also the only one at GB other than Rorie with decent music taste

Hey I was in grade 9 when that first Korn CD came out. I was a huge Korn fan back then.

Crazy times the 90s I tell you

 

[imBask]

y'all need some Dr Disrespect in your life

To realize that no matter how infrequent GB content may appear sometimes, the alternative could be constant and terrible videos?

"that is pristine", text-to-speech, animated notifications, on-screen ads. I'm not ready for this future

 

[DanLongman]

This is awesome

 

[Wunder]

"that is pristine", text-to-speech, animated notifications, on-screen ads. I'm not ready for this future

this is like the base level man

maybe not the ads since not everyone is a pro player but the animated gifs/tts and sub sounds are all included in the twitch streamer starter pack

 

[Hasney]

It's pretty miserable hearing wahs when you could get rid of them for 3 good art and music styles at the touch of a button. It'd be like eating gruel when steak is freshly cooked and ready to be eaten.

 

[Gandie]

He's gettin paid though.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I really like Hellblade but

by god those "find the runes!" puzzles are annoying, boring and tedious. At this point I basically instantly go to Youtube and try to find a video with the solution. They are so bad.

 

[Hasney]

The only notification sounds on a stream I've ever liked are the New Legacy ones. You just never get tired of Michael Come saying "Big dog eats my ass"

It's nice to occasionally watch streams of people being good at video games instead of acting like Call of Duty NPCs.

his twitch channel is pretty fun, I appreciate the act!

Now I can see how bad UPF is!

WAH WAH

 

[MadLaughter]

I'm a homer but I could see the GB Free Trial / Gift subscriptions news being worth its own thread in gaming.

 

[Death Metalist]

Nice. A good opportunity for those that want to test the waters and shit.

 

[Zeroro]

Finally offering free trials to people is a game changer. All that Beast #content's gonna pull in so many new subs.

 

[Teddified]

And people just assumed it would be bad news.

I liked the first NSMB on DS. Even liked the music back then. But I can't stand it anymore either. Wall jump's still legit though.

Interesting. Might explain why they're cranking out new premium content lately.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Nice.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I felt like my subscription was about to run out so I checked the billing part of the website and it tells me that I'm currently on "a free trial of the Giant Bomb Premium Yearly plan"?

 

[The Dear Leader]

They should really pick some of the classic premium videos and display them on the front page or somewhere for new trials subs to really get an idea of the scope of premium stuff.

Same here.

Seems some text need to be changed but i'm liking the billing additional features (unless they were always there?)

 

[kingocfs]

I mean, the quality is guaranteed. It says it right there.

Sounds like Jeff needs to make another video.
