The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

Dany M said:
The trails quick look was great. Apparently brad didn't know about bunny hopping? Is that like a key skill? Loved that ryan got it through most of the first track.

Of course I knew about it -- you can't pass a bunch of the harder levels even prior to that last tier without being able to do it. But I tend to play that game by feel, so I'd never really stopped and thought about the mechanics of what constitutes a "bunny hop" until the QL. Not surprisingly I got a little less clumsy with it after Ryan gave me a lesson.

I am sure he used the bunnyhop all the time without realizing it has a term or whatever, ease down.

I need the redemption, sorry :)

I did the same with Trials on PC, playing by feel, just throwing yourself at the obstacles and then trying to recover but, yeah, at a certain point you hit a wall and I watched some videos online and realized there's a lot more technique to it than might seem at first.

Quick Look: Awesomenauts (Ryan/Jeff) (33:42
Click to expand...

Is there some massive amount of lag on the tv they're using, or is Ryan just really slowly reacting/lacking of spacial awareness? He was CONSTANTLY getting hit by towers on the backend of a creep push, because he didn't pull out in time :c

Game looks cool though, but I've got Super MNC to satisfy my MOBA needs for now.

Trials endurance run. Won't ruin a story/game for anyone watching, and will be the ultimate test of endurance.

*complaint about being bad*

Oh God, please no. I don't want to see the GB dudes get ground into a fine powder by the extreme tier trials.

I got Awesomenauts free with PS+.

I thought the game was both awful and incredibly boring, so there's that.

I watched the quicklook and yea, it doesn't look appealing to me at all. I was sorta thinking about buying 3 months of plus for that and Trine 2, but I'm all of the sudden feeling like I wouldn't even play awesomenauts.
 
That's Persona Kanji's voice actor doing the announcer for Awesomenauts, isn't it? (Apparently he's also Kai Leng in ME3 according to IMDB, but Awesomenauts doesn't have an IMDB entry.)

It was a daft point regardless, because the games, as hard as they are, allow everyone to stumble their way to the top due to the amount of checkpoints on each track. The series wouldn't be as loved/hated/loved if you'd have to one-shot every track.
 
AirMech is fantastic guys. I think everyone should give it a try. I also bought the Alpha bundle today. It's a great deal if you are into it. Kinda buys the whole game and you can ignore the F2P stuff ;)
 
Ok wow, that Awesomenauts QL totally sold me on the game. Looks super fun! And then I found out it was developed by Ronimo, so no doubts anymore at all, I'm dropping some monies on this.

At this point, I think it's safe to call Ronimo the masters of adapting PC-centric genres into fun downloadable console games.

It looks really polished for a browser-based game. Seems cool.

did brad just ask if the brandenburg gate is a real thing? please tell me i got that wrong...

What was that other thing he said once? If England was even around in the 13th century or something similar. I think it's safe to say geography isn't Giantbomb's strong point!

Its clear from his Super Meat Boy love, Trials love and posts in GAF thread that Brad loves the pain. Its the only way to get him to respond

Meet me in the bombcast thread Brad - you want rage posts or stilettos?

Stop only posting when people say dumb things :(

They've (Brad and co.) got better shit to do. Besides, why would anyone want to participate in a community where a non-trivial number of members are critical of you and vocal about it? It only takes a small amount of negative feedback to outweigh the potential good feelings from positive feedback. I wouldn't want to deal with it.

The bolded is a misinterpretation. We dig the Brad. Pretty obvious, too.
 
Brad only comes here to fish for compliments. He's always cherry picking the really dumb comments and acting all hurt and upset about them, so that that the less inane part of the community steps in to comfort him. It's genius!
 
did they say they were doing a risen 2 Q-Dawg? i think i remember Ryan saying something about it. kind of curious to see it in action.

tera might be interesting too.
