How do we fix them before its too late?

Make them play Ape Escape

Literally who?

Fix what?
They are doing great

>>377098737

They're riding the coat-tails of GameTrailers. Let them fizzle out.

Fix what exactly?

I still watch them now and then, they put out a lot of content but I'm not particularly interested in let's plays anymore, I like their podcasts and group streams.

I find that if I watch too much of them I start to really hate them. Even my favourites start to give me the shits.

If I take a break from them for a couple of weeks I'm usually fine

>>377098737
Kicking fat mexican Damiani.
Also Giant Bomb pretty much does the same thing, but just better. Jeff is quite a character.

The /v/ eceleb cycle

Phase 1: Literally who?
Phase 2: Our guys
Phase 3: How do we fix them?
Phase 4: Eceleb garbage, haven't been good since 20XX, sage
Phase 5: Why does /v/ hate them so much? They're actually good.

Usually nothing significant changes about the group/person's content during the entire cycle.

>>377098737
You can't. Their money tossing audience is comfortable with things as they are, they don't demand new shows, they don't demand more news or anything worth any respectable journo.
They are happy with a plethora of streams few people watch, and that's it.
The podcast is stale as fuck, Ben's podcast became a stupid circlejerk that barely debates stuff, they're just happy sucking off each other.
And no one is willing to call them out on this, cup of Jones addresses this once in a while, but the best they can offer is to shrug it off and move on.

I miss the GT era. The amount of different content you could find there was astounding, and it was quality stuff.

And Ben, I fucking hate you, you used to be you, now you're so busy trying to imitate huber, I can hardly recognize you. I'm glad I stopped paying them.

just watched Frametrap and Ian's opinions are fuking garbage.

>wahhhh why is there a combat in Nier Automata, I just want a story!!
>Nier would be better with Dark Souls combat!!
>wahhhh why won't every single game let me play as female

literally worst than Damiani

Ian ruined the podcast for me

Blood and Jones are the only reason Im still around.

>>377098737
They are too nice to a fault, this has gotten so bad they don't even really know how to properly have a discussion with one another without trying to soften all their opinions down or just being awkward, it's getting really boring given their thoughts on games are so safe, so positive with no real in depth analysis of games.

>>377099762

Holy fuck, this week's frame trap was bad.

>>377098973
their lets plays are extremely boring and the community in chat is pretty terrible

all the videos except easy update are good though. and i guess group streams are okay.

I don't really disagree with most criticism said here, but I still find myself coming back to them, I'm gonna stick with them for E3 as well.

Blood can be awkward at times but he's really grown on me over the course of the EarthBound/Mother streams. One of the better members imo.

>>377098737
Improve the rollout schedule for their reviews
They have ~6 reviewers but are consistently after the review embargo/release date

They'll fix themselves, the comments on the videos are starting to be more critical.
Ian was butthurt because plenty were being vocal that the movie podcast is straight ass, within the first minute of the new frame trap.

They really do listen to constructive criticism, just be vocal enough without coming off as a troll (which is hard for their fans I know).

>>377102736
He picks up a random word that one of them said and puts hype at the end
Or quotes a random sentence that was just said and puts -2017 at the end

He does this over and over and over
In every single stream

>>377102736
>Why is this dude so bad? I don't watch their streams.

He's just a weird phenomenon... He quotes something someone says every like 30 seconds and posts it in chat it's not even just funny quotes, just any random line.
And he's in like every stream too, it's fucking weird.

>>377102848
I've said repeatedly that if enough people ask him to stop in chat, sheer numbers that he might stop.
Fucks on here told me we shouldn't bully him, I could care less as long as it made that nigger stop

I'm not trying to meme when I ask this, but is Damiani genuinely autistic?

He can not go sixty seconds without mentioning Nintendo is some manner. His "show" is focused around Nintendo. His LIFE seems to be focused on nothing but Nintendo.

>>377103498
We already discussed this
The accepted answer is that he has at the very least assburgers

>>377103498

>>377098737
Get them to stop making three and a half hour podcasts and instead produce <15 minute edited videos like Final Bosman instead. Shit on Ian all you want at least he edits his shit down. Everyone else goes "Well I guess I'll host my own podcast!"

>>377103781
Is it really that time intensive and difficult to make short scripted videos or they are just lazy and do 5h streams because its easier and requires no effort at all?

>>377103781
Please don't take away my long podcasts. They're my one ray of light when I'm closing up shop and driving home at night.

>>377103781
I don't like Huber Syndrome but at least it's an edited show put out consistently. If only Don could pump out Don's Discount Gaming more regularly, even like once a month. And not take forever to make Game Sleuth.

Also remember when Ben was supposed to make a video series of his adventures in Japan and stopped after the second video?

>>377103781
>edits his shit down
>1 hour of him singing a shitty song he made in 15 mins then talking to random people who I have no connection to and have no connection to video games

>>377098737
Damiani and Ian really need to vanish. Ian just talks about souls and repeats the same vague shit about them every time he appears. You would think that someone who loves those games so much would be able to elaborate more. Damiani takes 30 minutes to tell you what colour his fucking socks are.

>>377103895
>Is it really that time intensive and difficult to make short scripted videos

In the time Ben spent doing a three and a half hour podcast he could have stood in front of a green screen with a boom mic and got 3 or so 10-15 minute videos done about whatever topic he wanted. Edit out his flubbed lines and whatever little things he wanted to throw in there, maybe some, iunno, GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE or something.

But why do that when you can sit in a room for a few hours talking about everything with people who have varying levels of interest, knowledge about the topics. The only editing that goes into it is the intro and outro logo/music and the HOTAKE (cringe) graphic.

>>377104037
I'm not saying get rid of the podcasts entirely, but fuck I can't be bothered to listen to a three and a half hour podcast. They can keep doing podcasts but their news one? Shit is once a week and anyone who has an RSS feed with even a few websites on it they will have heard about literally all of it. Mostly the news goes on for 30 minutes and then you have an hour of L&R "games" and occasionally the good viewer question.

>>377104047
I swear Ben saw Superbunnyhop's Japan video that he put out at practically the same time and realised how outclassed he was in production, humor, and informativity (?) and just stopped.

>>377104061
I'm not going to lie I only watched like 1 or 2 of them because I was really bored.

>>377104248
ian is the definition of an ignorant liberal living in a bubble

>>377104284
They also used the term "Toxic Masculinity" un-ironically.

>>377104353

I've never watched these guys before, but I saw one of them playing ff14 on twitch so I checked it out and it was some obese fuck sitting there, jerking himself off to some distant dream where every nintendo game ever released was on virtual console on the switch from day 1.

that image of some out of breath fat fuck listing nintendo games he want on his switch will forever be what I see whenever nintendo-/v/ posts.

>>377102360
I'm pretty sure he means genre diversity which is nothing wrong with it.

more games.

>>377098737
Kyle needs to do a dumb show of some sort. One with bonus bits.
Also, they need to cut down on the podcasts. The main one and Frame Trap are more than enough already.
I don't even watch the streams, so I don't know how cancer they are.

>>377104736
No he was absolutely saying that as a double jab

>>377104894
Without a doubt, variety is what ze should have said.

>>377104736
But there are so many walking simulators, and the games that I like such as RTS's and Strategy games are hardly ever brought up (or even made anymore). Every other game is a flavour of the month walking simulator and they always get covered extensively because they're so short and the skill requirement is non-existent. More walking simulators does not mean more diversity, it means more walking simulators.

Also, Ian totally meant "diversity" to have a double meaning. EZA just needs to talk about video games and not be retarded.

Over the weekend, I set my just-purchased Starbucks drink on a display table in a crowded bookstore that opened into the interior of a busy mall. Almost immediately, as I lifted up a JK Rowling board game, I accidentally knocked my drink over. Even with the lid and my quick hands, it still managed to drip across four books, soaking into their page edges. Without hesitation, I hurried into the interior to the checkout counter and told them I needed to pay for books if damaged. They gave me 10% off, but it still came to about $70. They had ceiling cameras near the register, but even if they’d had them above the JK Rowling table, I still could have led my son out of there and into the car well before anyone would have noticed. As I told him when we did leave, I may have been less rich in money than I’d have thought I’d be, exiting that place, but at least I was richer in integrity.

I really enjoy EZA. But I miss the scripted shows of GT. The only consistent scripted show they have now is Huber Syndrome and considering they earn 40k+ a month. One show simply isn't enough.

They need to bring back trailer score. It would do fucking gangbusters on YouTube because people would think it's a reaction video. Make it Jones and Kyle, they have some of the best chemistry, and bring guests on for specific trailers.

>>377098737
>Latest Game Sleuth
>We went on game faqs and found some cheat codes for a ds game
The quality is slipping

They really need to stop making new podcasts and start doing scripted shows. I mean, right now they have 4 fucking podcasts, one D&D show, whatever the hell is Easy Update, and only one regular scripted show.

EZA's fine. Not perfect but totally fine. The problem is that their fanbase is riddled with cancer because they take the whole "love and respect" thing way too goddamn seriously, any dissenting opinion is treated like a mean troll just trying to ruin everything.

>>377102568

I don't hate him. Kind of annoying to see him just repeating what was literally said five seconds ago every chance he gets but it's harmless enough. I'd say that if some of the crazy dipshits they have in the community (especially one or two of the twitch mods) are the loud ringings and headaches you get from tinnitus then he's the light buzzing you'll get when it's just first starting out.

sfw You will never return to the golden era of GT where Huber, Moore, Damiani and Blood were background characters. You didn't know Ian was a raging liberal fag and Final Bosnan was the highlight of the website every week. Funny skits were a plenty and content was always being produced.

>>377106248

LETS DERAIL THE WHOLE SHOW BECAUSE IM OFFENDED FOR SOMEONE

frame trap in particular is way too goddamn long. I don't even listen to them anymore, I just go to the timestamps and skip to whenever they're discussing a game I care about (which isn't often, for example in the latest one I only listened to the bits about persona 5 and BOTW) and then skip to hottake/emails.

I wonder if Blood will disable the comments on frame trap like he did on the damiani nier video

Get brad to be more articulate and start reviewing more games

That's because they shill Opencritic quite a bit, so their audience goes there but almost no one else goes to Opencritic. It's easy to become the most trusted reviewer that way

>Is it just me, or are the other allies treating Ian with more and more contempt as time goes on?
I legit think you're projecting.

>>377112627
I wish we went back to referring to things as cancer, toxic is just used on an opinion rather than an action

>>377112565
No. Damiani on the other hand

>>377112470
I wouldn't go that far, I think it's just a series about the dangers of relying on technology

>>377112559
But they're so scared about talking about ANYTHING because of spoilers. Brad even stopped talking about the original nier because of spoilers.

They're never going to actually talk about the original Nier, and never going to talk about Automata fully aswell.

Also Ian hated the combat because it wasn't Souls enough? Thats the biggest bullshit I've ever seen.

>>377112708
Maybe, maybe not.

It was funny when Ian said "I heard Lego Batman was about toxic masculinity" and Kyle was just like "what, no it's about Batman"

Ian can be okay, but when he's an SJW he needs a massive kick in the dick.

>>377113078

Ian doesn't like vidya beyond Souls and indie shit.

He still has a more eclectic taste than Damiani, which is amazing

Oh boy, is this thread again.
I'm just waiting for them to hit 45k so Brandon does his trailers show, I loved Trailer Academy and Let's all go to the trailers.

>But they're so scared about talking about ANYTHING because of spoilers.

I swear to god they just tried to address this exact thing a little while ago by starting a "spoiler mode" show.
I wonder what happened to that? It seems like the perfect thing for anything they are afraid to mention on the usual podcasts, just get a couple or more people that have finished a game have a discussion using full spoilers in a separate thing people can choose to watch if they want spoilers or not.
It is a win win scenario.

>>377113327
They'll probably get close this E3. They're always pretty high under E3 on twitch with their reactions.

>>377113445

They made and said that it wasn't going to be a regular thing. Then they gave Damiani two retarded shows so he could sperg about Nintendo.

They clearly have no idea what they're doing.

>>377102954
He tends to completely butcher the quotes as well, making them something entirely different than what was said.

Sometimes he makes things slightly awkward by suddenly laughing or generally being a bit autistic, but he's cool.
Hearing that he confronts Ian was definitely a bonus. He's the anti-Ian.

Yeah I pretty much got the vibe he didn't really feel like playing it in the first place and just made up some silly shit to drop it.

>>377113640
The Nintendo podcast is actually pretty good though. Damiani's autism is actually a good thing there, because he honestly printed out old as shit press releases when he was a kid and still has those in pristine condition.

>>377114391

>everyone basically demanding kyle's opinion on persona 5
>he gives his opinion
>they sperg the fuck out because it isn't what they wanted

I thought people liked kyle because he had weird as hell opinions on things, not wanting to play a game because the MC is "too cool" sounds exactly like the kinda thing he'd do.

>>377102510
I'll hop into their streams every once and a while and I was always see this faggot there. It seems like he's there 24/7 just doing that gay quoting shit and nothing else. What's makes it so hilarious is that everyone flat out ignores him. From all the times I've ever seen him I've never seen anyone acknowledge what he does, not even an ally.

>>377114479

That's nice. Keep Damiani contained there, and the allies will be better for it.

It was during one of their gundam building streams.. Kyle gave his opinion, Ben tried to get a little bit more of a reason and they laughed at him because it's a typical Kyle answer. Idk how the community acted.

>>377114541
I thought he would have a much dumber opinion for hating on it

I hope E3 puts some life back into them. Anything without Huber or Kyle is just shit at the moment.

He really is just an uninteresting guy who can't speak worth a fucking damn. Of all the allies, I still don't understand why he's on the payroll. Sure, some of the other allies are enormous faggots like Damiani and Ian, but at least they have other skills that they add to the production and stream shit. Other than saying dude what exactly does he even do for them?

I was never too big on GT, I only recently found out about them and I binged through Final Bosman and watched some Huber Hype, so I'd fix EZA by canning everything Darmiani and Ian and just start doing Final Bosman every 2 weeks/1 month. Kick out Darmiani and Brad and keep Ian BTS. What I'm trying to say is I need more Kyle.

>>377113078

I've heard him say that about several other games. Recently I think he said it about Silent Hill or some shit. Dude needs to just fucking transition already.

Not critical? Sure, okay to lose though? Naaaaah

>>377116446
He's really involved in the BTS stuff for Huber mostly. He also works for Funhaus so he doesn't make it to group streams all the time.

Ian can't even describe why he likes the souls series more than anything without words that basicly mean nothing. It just feels like he jumped on a hypetrain at one point.
He was alright back at GT, what happened since then

>>377116496

>>377121226
wut

>>377121226
what the hell is that

Ian is completely right about game stories.

If you want to make a story-focused game, make it a walking simulator. Don't mix decent-to-bad gameplay in with lots of cutscenes and ultra-scripted segments. Just make it an interactive story experience without the fluff.

Otherwise, make a GAME and let the player make all the decisions. When I want to play video games, I'm choosing not to watch a TV show or movie. I want to be in control and make my own story.

>>377115991
Poor Jones has to edit and voice that shit

>>377118184
>Remember they also gave 5 stars to a shitty platformer

Which one? TLG?

>Meanwhile P5 is the best game of the year and will stay the best RPG in a while.

I if you asked every single one of them what their game of the year is so far, they will almost all answer BotW.

>>377121652
Except for Ben. Cause muh Persona.

>>377121867
He probably won't. P5 has it's share of problems.

>>377122027
Ben is a bigger Persona fanboy than Damiani is a Zelda fanboy though

>>377121652
P5 will not be GOTY, its flaws will bubble up for people over time.

It's a pretty fantastic game, but the competition this year is fierce and it's got its share of problems.

>>377122193
I don't think Persona 5 will be GOTY. Even right now I'm having a hard time thinking BotW will be Goty judging by whats coming out towards the end of the year.

>>377113641
>>377113870
He keeps making hilarious jokes outside of the quotes though like "x CONFIRMED :P" so surely I think he must not be a bot.

>>377122389
What else is coming out besides Red Dead and Mario? I doubt Xeno, Bannerlord, and Cyberpunk are coming out this year.

>>377122159

I don't think Ben has a dedicated Persona podcast or an inability to actually enjoy a non-persona game though

>>377122624
Just those first two. Especially Red Dead.

>>377122624
I think Zelda or Mario are gonna take it this year. Possibly RDR depending how it works out.

P5, Near A Tomato, and Nioh will be honorable mentions

>>377122624
That's still some pretty steep competition. Also random side not, but is Horizon a goty candidate to them? I watched some of the spoiler mode (waiting for the zelda one) and they weren't slobbering all over it like other channels (Kinda Funny comes to mind).

Is Knack a 5 or a 6?

>>377122668
>flashbacks of the nier stream begin to return

>>377122878
Zelda beats out Horizon for all of them, definitely not a GOTY contender for EZA

>>377123005
Oh okay. The game looked like the safest pick of 2017.

>>377122939
6 stars

>>377122878
Horizon will be an honorable mention. In the last GotY awards they had silly nominations, so Horizon could win for best dino from them.

>>377122878
The only one who likes it the most is Jones, and I think even he prefers Botw.

>>377122792
This. Can't see RD winning out over Zelda or Mario, though, unless it pulls something incredibly innovative or some social commentary shit that pretty much forces the title, though, even if it's an amazing game.

>>377123212
Dino Frontier would probably win that

>>377123358

Then again, TLG won last year.

Ben is such a weab. I honestly respect his opions even less than Brad. At least Brad can play and enjoy western stuff, Ben just endlessly plays Japanese tripe like Monster Hunter and shitty JRPGs.

this thread is really jolly, it's really giving me some good vibes

The community is killing their growth, it is one big hugbox

>I don't like x
>REEEEEE GET OUT WITH YOUR TOXIC VIEWS, LOVE AND RESPECT

The fact that every Ian and Damiani video is full of comments circling jerking them every video proves this.
There was a comment about wanting Damiani to stop wearing shorts and people lost their fucking mind.
Damiani needs to stop wearing shorts, he is a fedora away from the complete neckbeard look.

>>377122878

Yeah, this was so retarded. At least tell us who was the one who actually mailed you back, and how the codes were released. Then it would have had some kind of point.
Now it was just a boring subject, with a boring video, and the most dumb and boring conclusion possible.

I'm actually curious how much money actually goes into any of the shows. There is literally nothing that distinguishes one from another. No backdrops, set pieces, camera angles, whatever. I mean just do fucking something. Why would anyone donate them more money if they can't even accomplish much with one of the highest grossing paterons of all time. I get that rent is a bitch in California, but holy shit, a group of 9 guys and not even one of them can put the extra time in.

I posted this on their garbage movie discussion video

hopefully they'll see it

I feel like EZA really need a corporate overlord to keep them in check. Their personalities are okay, but they aren't focused enough to actually be a solid game news/criticism source. Right now, we basically see their teambuilding and HR meetings live on Twitch. It's just TOO unprofessional and childish.

LGR records out of a storage unit and his tech tales videos shit all over EZA's investigative videos. Why can't they do that?

They're lazy honestly. For the new cam Ian literally just drove to the closest store and bought a camcorder they had left. Even their streams usually ahve some problems before they actually get going and the news they get are just recent neogaf headlines.
