Giant Bomb thread

I'm that guy that gets mad all the time that Jeff points out E3 is not nearly as relevant anymore. AMA

Jeff

E3 sucks so bad now
I miss booth babes

How many hours before start?
I have a movie to watch.

>>379613870
Exactly twenty four hours until EA's conference

whoever put this shitty generic poprock on the playlist is getting constantly BTFO by Jeff

ITS A LOCKDOWN BABY
DRIVE ME CRAZY
AINT NO ESCAPIN
YOUR LOVE HAS GOT ME DOIN TIME

>>379613962
cool
see you guys later

Phil Spencer is the best E3 host because he's consistently given the worst material to work with. You cheer for him even though you will never buy his product.

XBOX 4k - 399$
You heard it here first

>>379615470
1/10 apply yourself

Where do I go for E3 news that isn't clickbait, SJW crusading or an opinion blog.

E3 is just a proto-PAX nowadays. People have no respect for it anymore.

I want to Marry Kish

Is she gonna be there this year?

VR is going to be good especially for visual novels and "command" roles that will become more popular in multiplayer.

For now it is burgeoning technology that is still trying to find it's place and the best use are funny little immersive environments (job simulator, rick & morty) or jump scare games.

Sony is gonna play it safe
Microsoft is gonna be disappointing
Nintendo will be Odyssey and nothing else

Whatever happened to that Star Wars game that was actually gonna be story-based and not just MP shit?

>>379618872
Flight and Space Sims, too
That's about it, though

>>379612258
>last podcast
>full xbox fanboyism bursting out of brad and jeff full force
>Jeff:I can't believe that Sony is talking about sales numbers, Scorpio is gonna blow them the fuck out
>brad:bc is something that everybody cares about, nobody uses is, but MS does now so it's awesome now
fucking idiots

>>379622197
i didnt get that impression at all

they only said sony was incredibly stupid for making those comments, which is true.

Anyone know how to add music to Jeff's playlist?

>>379622197
>>379622659
I'm not abreast of the situation, what did Sony say?

>>379623264
basically one executive said that backwards compatibility is something everyone wants but nobody actually uses so sony isn't gonna do it. which im sure he's getting chewed out for saying now cause thats such a dumb thing to say, if sony could have BC they would definitely do it in a second. and now they give m$ some ammunition.

Woah. That's pretty moronic.

>basically one executive said that backwards compatibility is something everyone wants but nobody actually uses
which is true. MS themselves is finding that out through XBL. Getting those imaginary brownie points won't help them in the slightest.

>>379623896
as a consumer i really dont understand how you can be in favor of having less options. take the corporate dick out of your ass.

>as a consumer i really dont understand how you can be in favor of having less options. take the corporate dick out of your ass.
your older consoles didn't disappear, vote with your wallet, you didn't buy any other consoles because of BC and aren't using BC, the fuck does it matter what you want if you are just talk and no walk, you moron?
I would love to have a console which plays all console games, doesn't mean that's a sensible thing to expect.

Initially I didnt agree with Jeff on the 2/5 review, but I got my hand on it recently and my god is it boring.

The plot is boring, the characters are boring, the gun play is boring, the graphics are even boring. It is the most aggressively bland game ive ever played

>>379623264
"YOU THINK YOU WANT IT BUT YOU DON'T"

For the vast majority of ps4 users they're correct

>>379615847
>isn't an opinion
just watch the the conference live streams on twitch and all the additional trailers that didn't make it as they come out on youtube

>>379624175
I mean, i can expect it from Xbox and not PS4 clearly.

>>379624357
If you want to play old games don't get rid of old systems

How fucking difficult is this to comprehend

>>379624018
consumers buy 3ds handhelds without chargers, consumers buy iphones which are worse than their competitors, consumers bought 360s and paid gladly for XBL gold even though ps3s didn't force you to pay for online play, fuck consumers such as yourself.
competition isn't automatically good. the bestselling company needs to be consumer friendly to have a consumer friendly effect, otherwise the competition will adopt those shitty tactics because their plan to NOT fuck over consumers doesn't seem to work.

>>379624591

I fully agree with you, I was just having a little shitpost. I still have my fat ps3, plays everything.

>>379624564
not really, it's not full bc it's shitty bc, it's done through software, the library is terrible, but it has it, so good for you, you cocksucking shiteater.

>>379624656
>fuck consumers like you who expect more

oh lmao

>>379624915
>fuck consumers who buy shitty products making it worse for eveybody else
lmao indeed.

>>379624564
>you can play all console games on a XBOX
lmao, how retarded are you?

>>379624591
If they built systems from PS1 onwards to last more than 5 years, sure.

I miss when the site had the listeners graph.

Mixlr drive just ended ;_;

>No UPF
Fuck

>>379626309
never used that site, what does the chart show

>>379627217
It shows that nearly 3/4ths of the entire viewership are with that dude

>>379627217
that was the entire mixlr userbase, blue = jeffy

>that feel when you'll never sit at a table with Jeff and Vinny and talk about video game announcements as they happen

>>379627592
you'd have nothing interesting to add to the conversation

>>379612258
Why would anyone watch someone else talk over the conferences instead of, you know, watching the conferences? Is this the youtube audience?

>>379627592
On the other hand
>That feel when you will never have to be in the same room as Alex, Ben and Dan obnoxiously trying to play on each other

>>379627745
Same reason why you'd shitpost on /v/ while it goes on.
>He watches the stream without filters, by himself, without even posting along /v/
baka desu senpai

>>379627745
because I don't care about what literal corporate shills have to say

>>379627592
>make a joke about something announced being kike shit
>they get all butthurt and ruin a good time
Phew glad I don't have uptight friends.

The thing I miss the most about nitnendo doing conferences is the crowd reactions

Go look at when Kratos stepped into the light in the god of war reveal for example. It really adds to the atmosphere like OH SHIT.

>>379627904
But you care about what a bunch of literal whos have to say?

>>379617328
MS said there will be no VR or holo lens on their stage

>>379627745
>listening to someone tell you everything they have to show you is the best thing ever made when you know its shit

>>379627592
I feel like the average /v/irgin can very easily self-insert into Ben.

>>379628028
oh, you mean ex-game journalists I've been listening to for over a decade?
go convince someone else how awesome it is to be marketed to

>Dan mostly loved
>After a few months Danposting happens
>Now he's mostly hated.
Did you guys fall for a meme? He's stupid, but he just wants to have fun. A lot of laughs are had at his expense, too. He never even tries to push agendas.

>>379628028
Of course I do. The fuck are you on /v/ for? We're all literal whos. That's the point.

>>379627862
Difference is /v/ doesn't get paid to shitpost about E3

>>379628059
>>379628148
>forming my own opinion is bad, better think what these guys tell me to think

>>379628158
You're getting it mixed up. Danposting was born out of Dan becoming obnoxious and his shtick getting stale. Not the other way around.
Also, there are plenty of Dan defenders around these parts, unfortunately. Plenty too many.

>>379628231
>Not wanting to hear opinions from a variety of people
Also, folks here disagree with the GB guys all the damn time.

>>379628231
well that is what happens
i generally agree with everything I hear, i'm very impressionable in that way it's a huge personal flaw of mine

>>379628231
I shitpost at work, so I am in fact getting paid to shitpost about E3.

>>379628316
Yeah, he was a little grating on Metal Gear Scanlon. But in most content he is tolerable and he was really the only person out west trying to make content before he left. Now West is a charisma vacuum, save for Jeff.

>>379628231
I don't understand how them getting paid to talk about E3 makes them any more of literal whos than us.
I like hearing different perspectives. Again, that's why I post on /v/. Also why I listen to Giant Bomb. The conferences by themselves get pretty boring.

>>379628371
>opinions from a variety of people
> ex-game journalists I've been listening to for over a decade
Which one is it?

>folks here disagree with the GB guys all the damn time
And they keep watching? Why? It's like hating CoD but playing every new game that comes out just to say you hate it.

>>379628467
Correlation != causation pal.

>>379628621
Would you prefer fucking a girl you know who likes you or a girl who's getting paid to have sex with you?

>Try to remember about the mixlr all week
>Forget and just realised now

God dammit.

>>379628637
I disagree with people on /v/ all the time too. I bet you do too. Guess you should leave now, pal. You make no sense whatsoever.

>>379628824
You're absurd and listening to people and reading shitposts is not at all analogous to sex, you weirdo.

>>379629045
>one does it for fun
>one does it for money
Sounds pretty similar to me
Also you just pointed out a big difference, /v/ is written, so it doesn't obstruct in any way the video.

>>379629207
Except it does. Your eyes aren't on the video when you're reading posts. Don't be a moron.

>>379629490
I don't know, it's like comparing subs to a live interpreter. One lets you hear the original, the other makes it almost impossible.

Whatever, I just don't get the point of this kind of stream. Feels almost second hand enjoyment.

>>379629718
It isn't. It's the addition of more enjoyment. I'm under three layers.

Microsoft is not playing it safe, and will be far from disappointing

they know they gotta go balls out, they increased their show time to 2 hours

>>379635034
You'll see. They're gonna double down on Windows 10

when does jeef start driving?

>>379636145
Im wondering that too, why are so many in an unactive stream chatroom

>>379636145
He finished hours ago

>jeff saying he hates the def jam games
How does he consistently have such shit taste?

>>379636341
Fight for NY is the only good one

>Start listening to GiantBomb as I've started a new job which I despise
>They admit to playing shit on easy constantly
>Wish features were in new games only to be told that said features are in them already
>Some girl on beastcast clearly doesn't give a shit about games but manages to eat into the cast

Whyd you post about them so much?

>>379636341
I rarely agree with his opinions but he has a way of backing up his views that make him very respectable to me

>>379636590
I hate vendetta because I hate wrestling games but FFNY is good.

>>379636717
They're entertaining

Fuck Dan
And Ben

>>379638460
fuck you nigger

>>379638460

Dan can be annoying, but he's ok, Ben's fine.

Fuck Jason, that guy should stay in the control room. Literally the worst staff member who was ever on camera.

>>379623896
What? Black Ops 2 was among the top 10 played games on xbone for a while when it hit bc, they have 360 sales all the time and I see friends buying plenty of them.
