What's this now?

>>375781306
So they hired Brad part 2? That sounds awful.

>>375782223
He's playing Persona 5 and really enjoying it, but he pointed out some issues and said he thinks it's "not as good as it maybe could have been"

Sonybabbies just can't handle any form of criticism

>>375782720
>"not as good as it maybe could have been"
This is the weakest critique because it can be used against anything ever made.

>>375782605

They hired Brad part 2. He's literally a copy paste addition.

>>375782869
Nigger I'm not going to list the things he thinks are wrong with the game I don't give a fuck about Persona

>>375782720
He mentions that he hates both the combat and the social links. There's nothing left after those, he literally said "if you're a persona fan you'll probably like this" which means he doesnt

>>375783070
>literally keeps saying how he really likes the game
>b-b-b-but he isn't sucking my favorite franchise's dick ENOUGH
get over yourself

and the part he didn't like about social links is how you need to pull out the right persona's and you don't get to initiate some links without having high enough whatever, not the actual social linking themselves
and are you really going to pretend anyone plays Persona for the boring ass dungeons?

>>375783070
No he didn't. He said he hates hama and the one social link you need max proficiency in order to start.

>>375783070
He said the instant deaths were frustrating not that he hates the combat.

Why are Persona fans so autistic?

people are worried about her affinity for toilet humor, not her politics

Will Alex every stop ruining the Yakuza 0 playthrough? Fucking guy is CONSTANTLY trying to get Dan to do dumb side shit when Vinny and Dan want to see the story keep unraveling. I know side stuff is a big part in these games but god damn it SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GOAT SOUNDING PIECE OF SHIT

Why did they hire this guy? He has no fucking personality and he sounds like a fucking retard.

>>375784042

majima's sidequests are boring, kiryu's are fucking amazing and should not be missed
too bad they're too enamored with nu-Majima to play as Kiryu for any length of time

>>375781306
first off, dota is easily the best game out right now and better than most games released in the past 5 years

second, no one likes dating sim shit like persona except pathetic weebs (the same people who think floppy titty ninjas are the epitome of fighting games).

so there is literally nothing bad about Giant Bomb. all their opinions are objectively correct.

>>375784506
And Ben.

>>375784358
he was one of their interns in the whiskey days so he is a safe hire and probably cheaper to pay

>>375784329
She's a video producer, so no like it matters much. She's there so Vinny doesn't have to be on the dials and switches all the time

>>375785269
Exactly. They went with a guy they knew who wouldn't just shit all over the place and run off to failing vice.

>>375785269

This is probably also why they hired Abby as well. I'm pretty sure she just graduated college and this is her first "real job".

There's a severe lack of video game podcasts that talk about games beyond the most casual shallow shit possible.

I love Dota but it's definitely its own niche. To anyone who isn't a Dota fan it's pretty much an entirely different language.

That's why I love going to The International every year. Being surrounded by hundreds of Dota fans and watching the tournament is a great experience. If I tried to talk to anybody in my small hometown they'd look at me like I was crazy.

>>375791584
Talk to anybody about Dota, I meant.

>>375791197
What are some examples?
I really need more to listen to, especially if giant Bomb stays this bad

>>375791584
Even as a non- fan Jeff probably would have liked EG/SG Game 3 and those Grand Finals games

Or maybe im just being optimistic

>>375781306
Persona is not a good game if you don't care about role playing as a Japanese High schooler or learning about the lives of some shitty teens. I like dungeon crawling and for that there are way better Atlus games

>>375791797
You're being optimistic. Trust me, all of that cool shit that's happening on screen means nothing to people who who don't either play the game or at the very least follow the scene.

>>375791870
The best Persona 4 playthrough will very likely be the best content this site will ever go down for producing. It kind of saddends me that long term Jeff/Vinny content will never happen again.

Might as well shut down the site since Ryan is still dead.

>>375791197
There are basically no good video game podcasts right now. If I want to listen to people talk about video games I go back and listen to old GFW radio episodes.

>>375792082
There needs to be a podcast with Dave Lang, Adam Boyes, and Johnny V

>>375791397
I played dota for years before it got a 2 added at the end and hate listening to Brad talk about the game. It's interesting hearing someone who knows their shit and can articulate it properly; Brad isn't either of those things.

>>375784416
>She's super cute in some pics
What pics?

>>375791507
No he doesn't, he just doesn't care and jokes about other people's single-minded obsessions. It's nice to like games, but dumping 1000 hours into a single game is detrimental for a games journalist/reviewer that has to bounce from one game to the next each week. For Brad, Dota is a literal pasttime unless he's making videos. Talking about Dota doesn't serve much of an audience on Giantbomb, 90% of the listeners don't play it, and fans of DOTA can get better info from sites and podcasts that are just dedicated to nothing but DOTA and mobas

>>375792561
None I was joking.

>>375792613
Now tell me how not caring about anything but this years CoD and obscure old ass games is any better. I'm done with Jeff and his opinions.

>another premium sale
Getting pretty desperate. They get the majority of their revenue from premium sales obviously. This is like the third time in 12 months they've had a sale, before they'd do like once a year.

Also they do get money from podcast ads. It's tough to figure out listener numbers but you can look at is the YouTube views for the Bombcast. Not exactly the best metric to look at but views are noticeably down week to week.

Giant Bomb will be dead within two years.

This does not bode well.

He was inoffensive on the podcast, but simply put GBW needed an adrenaline shot to the heart to pull them out of the boring as shit climate they've been in for the last however many months since Drew and Dan left.

Also he doesn't hate persona, he dislikes some of it but still enjoys the game. What you should be mad about is how Brad yet again completely ignores everything about a game except for what people are saying on twitter, people who have no fucking clue what they are talking about.

Giant Bomb is clearly circling the drain, but hiring Ben seems like a decent move. Once he gets a good rapport with Jeff and Brad I could see him being pretty cool.

East at least has fun with games, Tender loving care was fucking hilarous, Beast in the East is a good time, this is the run is alright for a few episodes every time, and their random videos like the one where they played guitar hero and talked about coins was vintage wiskey media.

Really hate how they have 2 studios, their best shit is when Jeff and Vinny get together on something. Its always been the draw of the site.

>rewatch old UPF and bombcast clips on youtube
>find myself laughing out loud constantly
>redownload old UPFs
>they're all gold
>dat chemistry between Vinny, Jeff and Ryan

It's never coming back is it? They're just turning into another video game website. Jeff has said this is their best year yet for revenue/views and a large part is because of people accessing them through youtube.

Sounds like a classic case of appealing to a broader audience and lowest common denominator.

>no more 'penitentiary body' jokes from ryan
>no more hoodshit between Ryan and Jeff
>no more low key pedo or sex jokes from Vinny

>>375802082
Giant Bomb is simply past their peak at this point.

I really do wonder how much time the site has got left. They don't do the same numbers that the Youtube channels do, their lifeline is the premium subs, and if they continue to have garbage periods like they have for months now then I can't see how CBS doesn't step in at some point.

GB East produces the best content and that's been the case for a long time now. There's no chemistry on the West anymore. Previously Jeff had Ryan and Vinny where those guys could just bounce off each other like nobody else.

A real shame, it's still fun watching some of the Whiskey Media content. Still really entertaining stuff.

>>375802407
Well they keep claiming to do better every year, and Jeff recently posted about how UPF is their most watched video series, which requires premium. To that I have no real response really, its easily their worst content. I just stick around for the East stuff these days, and if that becomes worse I'm out for good.

Common opinion is though that GBW has been terrible for a long while now, even among their own forums. I doubt Ben is going to fix that, dude is pretty damn boring.

Did GB just get a shittier female version of Klepek? Why did you let this happen?

>>375802654
Klepek would have never said anything remotely close to that for fear of upsetting his SJW friends. The real worry is she is an Amy Schumer type.

She won't have an agenda, she just might be a terrible fit anyway though because I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where adding a woman to an all guys club goes well.

What's wrong with Jason?

>>375803065
There was a nice little period where it seemed like Brad was getting more and more hostile with Dan every week while Dan continued to pre tend to be stupid for attention with his retarded college stories and pretending to not know what a mortgage is.

>>375803230
You fuck back to gaf

Why are people thinking Abby isn't going to be in any GBE content? Pretty much everyone who has ever worked for Giant Bomb has gotten in front of the camera at some point. It seems a prerequisite for being hired there.

Also those Tender Loving Care streams were great. I was pleasantly surprised that none of the (especially Alex) sperged out about the sex or nudity stuff other than saying "Hey, maybe don't watch these if you're at work."

>>375803412
>Dan "pretends to be retarded"
There are a lot of times where he plays up being an asshole, but him playing up his stupidity isn't a thing. He really is that dumb but he lets the persona excuse cover that. Man Brad fucking hated him for a long time though, you could see him get visibly irritated whenever Dan opened his mouth. Hell you could see it on everyone out Wests faces by the end of his tenure over there.Eventually Vinny's going to get sick of explaining literally everything to him too.

You can't raise a family in SF, both financially and morally.

>>375804179
even when Brad is playing (most of the time he is OKish) at least there's somebody like Jeff/Rorie (I like him, also he did well in that last VR thing, WAY better than weiro Alex) and most important- I'm interested in games that they cover more than GBE.

Even Jason as a background for Jeff is way better than fucking Dan and Alex.

>>375802082
Why did they even split into 2 studios?

I don't understand the point. They could have a cheap studio in the middle of fucking nowhere and produce the same content.

They make internet media - it can be made and consumed anywhere.

>>375803065
Brad STILL has no clue when to let off-topic joking slide, and when to jokingly be the serious on the rails guy.

He wasn't pissed at the Vinny joke, he was trying to be the straight man. Badly.

Vinny was going to walk if they didn't make one out East. Site would have legitimately died if they didn't do it. Justified it to the higher-ups by stating that it'd allow them to cover both coasts, but that clearly hasn't happened. If they didn't have the premium system they would have gone under already.

Shame Jeff will never leave SF, the site would do multitudes better if Jeff and Vinny were under the same roof. Not to mention they wouldn't have needed to hire 2 new people if they consolidated offices.

Dan is legitimately autistic, but he had a great father who didn't let it effect Dan that much. Dan has many autistic tendencies and most of his social skills are feigned/learned.

>>375804594
Very true, they've discussed it at length, its no secret that Vinny was going to have no place if they didn't make a studio. It was the supposed "new blood" studio but that didn't pan out at all as GBEast was doing bad via its numbers until Dan moved out East.

>>375804341
Jeff will never leave SF. Brad will never leave Jeff.

Vinny couldn't raise a family in SF.

Well on the podcast that Vinny announced that he was moving east he straight up said that he was moving no matter what but was glad that GBeast exists now so he wouldn't be jobless. Pretty obvious that Jeff set that up just to keep Papa Vinny onboard

Its just a persona, he puts on a show

>>375804659
I worry this is pretty much exactly what's up with me? I can handle social situations very well and can talk to strangers at parties and stuff but I had to learn how and stuff. I have very specific interests that I pursue a lot but I know when to not talk about them because people get weirded out by it. oh god am i autistic

>>375804763
Look at him in college. He's high functioning autistic.

Papa Paul Ryckert should teach seminars on how to father autistic children. Just read up on how he raised Dan.

>>375804812
this, the guy is a sociopath, he knows exactly what he's doing

>>375804923
It's called aspergers. I think Dan is autistic more than sperg, because Asperger's usually manifests itself in social awkwardness. Dan is "mostly" fine socially, but has very weird habits.

>>375805020
He's getting married, though. Has had sex with at least 5 women. Has a good job. Autist success story.

>>375805020
It's a win win for GB and taco Bell. Just a business agreement. Feel sad for Dan's wife having her wedding venue dictated by Dan's kob

>>375805080
Asperger's is pretty common. Just research it. If you're aware of it enough to take notes and improve yourself in social situations you are doing better than most.

Contest was over before it began, he's a semi-known quantity. No joe-schmo was going to win compared to free advertising via GB fans.

Look I like Jeff but he was *never* a hoodrat in any sense of the word. He grew up solidly middle class, his family owned a fucking business for fuck's sake. A lot of that rep just comes form the fact that he liked a lot of bay area rap before most other white ppl, that's it.

i was really hoping they'd hire someone that brings new energy to the West coast. This guy seems alright, I don't hate him or anything but they needed somebody like Dan who can rile up Sleepy Brad and Jaded Jeff. Maybe he'll perk up a bit once he's settled in.

if nothing else it means no more Rorie dropping his spaghetti over every single video, so we have that to be thankful for

Meanwhile the East coast is having shitloads of fun with every video, I just hope this new woman doesn't upset the balance

>>375806589
Ben isn't the hire they needed, he isn't horrible. But he isn't what should have happened. Austin using them as a springboard fucked the hiring process. Jeff didn't want to hire anyone but someone he could control, or new extensively.

So they hired a LOL I'M SO GOOFY I'M LIKE ONE OF THE GUYS chick and some old friend of Jeff's with broken vocal chords?

Why didn't they hire that other lanky tall fucker they have one the show sometimes? He seemed pretty good.

I'm watching the latest bombcast and I think Ben might be fine once he loosens up a bit.

At least theres no more randome shill guest seat or Rorie.

Also he didn't say he hated Persona, he was just frustrated with the time management.

E3's been dead ever since the stages got too big and it's become more than a press conference. Like the whole thing is just a cringe fest that doesn't even help stock holders understand what they're doing and the only reason anyone is there is to play games early.

until this new kid showed up, and that was only because he was unemployed and waiting a month for his new job contract to be issued

>This game is really good.
>Yeah it's really good.
>Yep, I really like it.
>Uh-huh me too.

>This game is really bad.
>Yeah, it's really bad.
>Actually, I kind of like this ga-
>Yep, I really hate it.
>Uh-huh, me too.

>Okay, guys let's talk about the industry and current events.

>>375810906
>Jeff sits around for hours out of the week playing old as dirt games
>No time for anything new.
>Brad flat out doesn't play anything anymore
>Jason plays an hour and then goes on and on about how awesome it is.
Only the guys out east play games or enjoy being in the games industry.

>>375810906
>A video-game website where only 2 people play games, one of whom does nothing but play Nintendo shit, and the other has his girlfriend play everything.
Every GOTY gets harder and harder to even pay attention to because nobody knows a god-damn thing about what they are talking about, or has the experience on which to speak for something.

>Wow this GBE woman(?) looks pretty terrible based on twitter but maybe Ben will be cool?
>He's not

I mean he doesn't seem that bad but unfortunately I can't stand listening to someone who talks awkwardly or has a irritating voice even if the content of their words is fine.

>>375783467
this

>>375812612

they went with the safe choice going with lanky he's neither offensive or interesting at least it isn't another klepek or fatrick

Meh he seems alright, like a much worse Dave Snider. He would get along with Vinny but I guess GBW needed someone

RYAN WAS THE PERFECT ENERGY GUY

GODDAMNIT RYAN WHY DID YOU FORGET YOUR SLEEP APNEA MASK.

WAS THE COUCH SO COMFY

>>375781306

>officially dead

Welcome to 2010.

I heard something about Giant Bomb hiring a tranny, and thought Ben was the tranny.

His voice sounds like someone half-assing a feminine voice, so I thought it was him.

Fuck, is he going to be in every show now?

>>375781306
All these ecelebshits have shit taste

>>375781306
I dont like how he sounds like a homosexual.

If you had to play videos while being entertaining for a living all for a community of purist SJW's who would rather hear your "hot take" on this topic rather than be funny you would hate video games and your life too oh and your best friend in the world since high school who you spend all day with including the hour long commute with died.

I know they're at least half joking about it, but if this seriously gives Brad an excuse to have a Dota Discussion Segment every podcast, that'll probably be the final push I need to finally stop listening to this podcast circle the drain

>Fucking guy is CONSTANTLY trying to get Dan to do dumb side shit when Vinny and Dan want to see the story keep unraveling

The episodes where they do all main story stuff suck. The fun stuff is in the side content

Also

>Setup for Yakuza is just hitting the record button
>Despite that they only play 90 minutes once a week
>15 minutes of that is spent trying to remember what the fuck they were doing because they only play once a week
>Every new character introduced reminds them of a Japanese wrestler
>Dan constantly getting frustrated because he can't just spam HEAT MOVES
>Alex triggered at every bad guy MAKE HIM PAY DAN!

>>375781306
Giant Bomb died when Austin left.

>>375815102
Is that because Austin is a parasite feeding off a corpse?

>>375814954
>Despite that they only play 90 minutes once a week

seriously, we're looking at 40 episodes or so for Yakuza 0 alone, assuming they keep doing side content. And Dan's never going to git gud spending an entire WEEK without practicing between one or two hour play sessions

it's a shame because it's some of the best content they're putting out right now, and it's going to be dribbling out for YEARS assuming they never miss a single week or hit any roadblocks like one of them quitting or Dan finally getting Diabetes

>>375815310
More than 40, that game is very long and if they touch any of the business minigames that'll take a few episodes plus.

I love Endurance Run vids and adding in quips and what not like in Persona 4, but I wish they would shut the fuck up during story cutscenes, instead of yapping about random unrelated bullshit.

Wait, did East hire a Beast (trans)?

they seem confident that they're eventually going to move on to the later games but I dunno. it's going to be several years before they get to Yakuza 3 even.

Hell at the rate they're going there's probably going to be two or three new games up by the time they catch up to Y6

>>375815648
>Wait, did East hire a Beast (trans)?
people are speculating that she might be, based on how ugly she is. We'll have to hold judgement until we hear her voice on something
