It means they can't be longtime fans of the series anymore if they don't like the direction.

Because the internet pre-hates this game.
Yeah, but they are really dwelling on it in this quicklook.
But not good in the way they want it to be good.
Guess why.

Probably because Brad's review has received almost 1k comments on their site if it hasn't already surpassed it already by the time I hit 'reply'.
Insecurity?

1000 comments on the QL and climbing. GB are professionals.
Is anyone else really...bored of Giantbomb's way of doing things after these past few years?
Playing a game and then still not figuring out the most basic of concepts or always going into every game blind. It would honeslty hand on heart be amazing to watch them play a game they know things about and have genuine interest in.

That damage control at the end of the Quick Look was especially hilarious. Go support Bayonetta 2 guys, because Capcom just killed the franchise you loved. Too bad!
OUR REVIEWS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE!
Joking aside, they did what they did and their opinion stands, even if I am not agreeing with it.
To be fair I kinda smirked at this a bit.
But this QL was done after Brad finished the game and gave it 5/5?

To be fair, that was their motto since day one, you know... with being a personality driven website were they made explicit that everyone has their own taste.
I was being more general, nothing to do with the current Brad stuff.

Nothing but Sleeping Dogs and Trackmania quick looks for the rest of the year.
So you want more encyclopedia bombastica. Go watch those.

Patrick seems to bring up internet-rage more often than the other guys in QLs. That's probably why they discussed it so much.

They do, in all kinds of other features. What you're describing are just the Quick Looks, which are what they purport to be. They've only got so many guys and a lot of content to produce.
Eh, it was pretty relevant to this game. Although I think Patrick seems to interact with the community more so he probably encounters more internet-rage as well.
Me too. Enslaved was great! Watching quicklook again now
edit: oh it's the 11 minute one, lol
I honestly had no idea that people actively enjoyed Enslaved. I can understand people not hating it, but enjoying it?
I loved it, great game.

I really despised Enslaved.
It wasn't enjoyable to me as a game or a story or an experience or even technologically.
I'd rather play any terrible Dragonball game ten times in a hot room before I would play Enslaved again in comfort.

That's exactly how I feel about Dishonored.

I like Enslaved.... a little easy but still fun.

I just sort of...nothing'd Dishonored.
I felt like it was technically competent but I couldn't bring myself to care even a little bit. This was the highlight of the game for me (spoilers, I guess, but who gives a shit) and that should say something.

It was a system exclusive game published by a console manufacturer.
I don't know that you want to ask this question.

Is Andy Serkis is DMC?
Didn't Bettenhausen love that game?

I really enjoyed Dishonored for its stealth mechanics but everything else felt like they had no idea what the game was supposed to be.
ShockingAlberto
Member
I feel like the "You can play it as an action game" path just shouldn't have been there at all and they should have just spent all their focus and effort on making sure the stealth design was as smooth as possible.

That's the upside of all this. They be rolling in money now.
I mean just think of it. What is it a tenth of a cent for a pageview? And they must be... at least a couple hundred!

look i just have a thing for games where you spend 95% of them crouching and throwing unconscious bodies into corners and crawling on vents or rooftops
dishonored also had a magical teleport sooooo i was a bit more ready to forgive that every guard in dunwall is Indeed I Believe So getting their own squad after what happened last night, or that the game couldn't decide whether it wanted a huge world lore or an intricate political plot so it split the difference by giving you really watered down versions of both

C'mon, we're not that crazy.
Now they can afford to hire Shane Satterfield.

I feel like Dishonored's stealth fell apart for me the first time I walked in front of a group of people carrying an unconscious woman over my shoulder and no one said anything because they did not have the AI triggers to go "Wait, what"

What's all this Shane talk? I absolutely despise the guy and just seeing his name makes me upset.
Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
He left gametrailers.
That's all people need to start saying that he'll come to giantbomb.
He left GT.
Kinda want him to appear on the Bombcast just to see how destroyed he gets for one of his dumbass opinions.

Huh. I definitely had that happen to me once (at least I thought it did). It might have just been one specific area, though.
Then again, the game has some weird AI glitches. I once reloaded a quicksave after dying, and it broke the scripted event I quicksaved during. And another time I ran through a door into another area while time was completely stopped, but any time I exited the area it acted like I had been just been spotted but the guards outside had decided not to inform the guards inside.
Then there was the time I had deaths counted against me because of AI freaking out and killing each other or running into rats, or the NPC who blew himself up trying to walk through a door with whale oil and nobody in the crowded heavily guarded mansion heard it, or how characters seemed to be able to float next to chairs, or how Samuel's head liked to flip out in the boat.
Or this:
I liked Enslaved. I think I'll check out DMC when it's cheaper though.
I still think they're pretty decent. Kai was awesome.
Combat was mediocre and the graphics had terrible performance issues. I kind of wish NT would have gotten another crack at it.
I thought it was alright. From a story perspective the cinematics were killing any other game out there.
