Why don't they ever finish games? Every podcast is "I

Because they're game reporters, or whatever the Giant Bomb staff pretend they are these days.

You either cater towards jaded assholes or hyperactive autists when it comes to gaming. There's no in-between. They obviously produce content for the former.

>>385685703
I agree with you, but have you ever read through the comments section on the site? You'd think there would be less of the hyperactive autists hanging around

>>385683997
They don't even like video games.

The problem with GB is that it's neither fish nor foul
Why would I bother with tired old men playing games poorly now?
What is their fundamental value proposition?

>>385685703
>>385685904
It amazes me that gb has always been against the grain and hivemind of the mainstream at least in its writers, but the community and mod team have the complete opposite mentality, favoring sheepish behavior

>>385685719
Ben's voice/commentary has been especially grating to me lately. Seems like he isnt having as much fun as when he first started. Brad seems more upbeat lately though

>>385686045
GB community is a sad hybrid of Reddit and NeoGAF,

>>385685904

>>385686018
Well, it's supposed to be their extensive knowledge of video games, but every week, they all prove they know nothing about them, forgetting things even casuals would know. Jeff is only one who even knows anything anymore.

It's become clear that none of them really care about games anymore, outside of maybe Dan. Jeff only cares about older games.

>>385686252
Jeff probably got pissed off in a meeting and said somebody has to start doing fucking something now that Dan is gone.

>>385686252

They greenlighted it because fuck them if anyone but dan is going to come up with a video series idea beyond uhh lets stream pubg again

Atlus even went after small-time bedroom streamers.

I remember Jeff saying they had to jump through some hoops to even post a P5 QL. Something about streams being allowed but not recorded video. So they streamed the QL and uploaded the vod.

>Best beastcast of the year was missing Alex.

Yup, seems legit.

>>385686362
Dan has come up with SO MUCH of the GB content and now that he's East Coast, Jeff is probably seriously wanting off this ride.

Dan did the Mario Party Party, This is the Run, Metal Gear Scanlon, Danswers, Dan and His Dad, Mario Maker Challenges, Mario Maker Patrick Klepeck Fuck You, Play Mario while Riding a Roller Coaster, Beat Jason At Every Fighting Game Ever because Jason is a Complete Fraud by all accounts, anything that wasn't a legacy game hosted by Jeff Quick Looks, etc.

Now, Ben and Brad play DOTA once a week and everyone complains that, despite this being an entertainment website, Ben is not entertaining with no charisma, Brad has no talent, Jeff is constantly absent, Jason sucks at his job and nothing fun ever happenes.

Abby has bad tastes in movies.
She is no longer /ourgirl/.

>>385686868
Dan has honestly been getting on my nerves lately. I have never seen anyone with shittier taste than this man and yet he lacks the self awareness to keep it to himself. For instance on the latest beastcast when he was bashing Pyre, and how he continually says he won't even give persona a try because it involves reading. I mean, it's ok to not like something or to have a certain kind of taste, but I guess it's his tendency to rationalize his stupid opnions that annoys me. "I play games to play games" but I'll tolerate hours of cutscenes if it's metal gear.

It was hilarious however to see him sperg out about Drawn to Death and project like crazy. I also really like the way Vinny brings up that Dan's favorite thing is wrestling and that he got married at taco bell anytime Dan makes any knid of criticism.

>>385687603
Seriously why the fuck is Jeff gone all the time. He's the only reason a good chunk of people still hang on.

>>385687738
He didn't listen to any codecs in MGS, he skipped all of them. He only listened to them when he had to for Metal Gear Scanlon

>>385686510
They only care about P4. They love P4, but that's the only one they'll ever care about for some reason.

Guess that Vinny/Jeff playthrough was just the right thing at the right time. It is one of my favorite playthroughs ever.

Patrick was a SJW fucktard, but he was at least active in producing content as well as quick witted in groups or interview

i remember ryan davis' memorial podcast where everyone was mourning and when it came his turn to speak, he said "it was like his entire life was a joke, like he shouldn't have even been born". that was sort of amazing in that a brain produced those words and a mouth decided to speak them in the context it did

>>385687892

>will never hear Drew's pacman impression for the first time again

>>385687738
He's both serious and seriously exaggerating these parts of his personality. He thinks it's to comedic effect (which, it is) but too much exposure grates. For everything people don't like about Dan, he does have a distinct and energetic personality which is easy to identify without being offended by. He's a lovable idiot (he's fairly smart, in reality) who knows nothing...and he's both really open and closed minded about everything.

What does most of Giant Bomb even do for their 8 hour workday?
They aren't playing games for review.
They aren't running streams or making videos.
They aren't writing articles.
They spend 3 hours doing a podcast, a few hours doing UPF, a single PUBG stream, and maybe two quicklooks.
And this week we get one less than an hour Kingdom Hearts Video.

One of life's great mysteries.

>>385687846
Jeff is approaching 50-years-old. As a CBS property, Giant Bomb and GameSpot are their vg brand and Jeff is big-time bigshot there. He's in meetings and doesn't give a shit about playing games anymore. He basically only gets in front of the cameras when there's a shindig happening or interviews are happening. Because he's legit charismatic and funny, talented and knowledgeable.

But it's become too much effort to actually generate content. He tags along.

>>385688441
How much planning do you need to do the same shit every week and put less time into your play through video series than your average quick look?
Hell, usually East is more involved in the PUBG streams anyway.

>>385685840
Yeah, you can clearly see them using the C-stick about as much as Paul Ryckert does when he plays games with Dan. Sunshine is no masterpiece but they really need to fuck off with the whining when it's 90% their fault.

>>385688419
They have Ben play everything new on Steam and then eat bagels.

I'm seriously miffed that I have to watch Ben play Kingdom Hearts when he's got no fine motor control at all, awful to listen to, Brad's a blithering idiot providing 0% use for insight or commentary and for a Launch of a Series episode, we got 40 minutes of fumbling around, abandoning a fetch quest and not even reaching a pertinent story point. Come on, guys.

Bring Drew back. Pay him more money so he wants to.

Why does everyone seem to like East so much? Ive listened to 3. Or 4 episodes that are within the past 3 months. Those motherfuckers do not talk about video games and spend half the episode sucking listener cock and circle jerking over shitty emails

>>385688695
East has at least had new content coming out regularly.
East will do a series, actually see it through, then start a new one.
West will start something, quit four episodes in, then go two months with Brad doing a DOTA stream once.

>>385688301
I'll have to agree that it actually takes some intelligence to look dumb all the time. Though sometimes abrasive, he does seem to have real enthusiasm for what he does, as well as creative, fun ideas for content, which is way more than I can say for most of giant bomb nowadays. Mario party party is probably the best thing gb has done in years, now gbwest is just kind of sad.

>>385688574
Jason is such a shitbag. He doesn't understand his job, thinks he should interject, fails video production and his whole life is completel horseshit. His son, Corren? Kerry? I dunno, is in his late-twenties and fucking hates his father because Jason deserves the hate.

>>385688854
Still dont understand why Ben was hired for a 90% audio/voice focused job with his voice. Its terrible. Its like hes always fucking sick and needs to clesr his throat because theres a massive buildup.

>>385685493
I appreciate Rorie because he's fucked in the head but in a normal way instead of a San Francisco way. He's contributed many an awkward silence with his drinking on stream though. The guy could use a bit more self-awareness

>>385687738
At least he's usually pretty honest about not liking something instead of coming up with excuses or just not talking about it.

>>385689034
Nobody would miss Jason if he was fired.

>>385688738

>>385689059

>>385689034

>>385688419
Corporate meetings. Getting bought by CBS was totally worth it.

>>385688837
I really wish they'd hire someone with actual talent for playing games. Why do people with ZERO ability to play games always have the title of "reviewer"? It's mind boggling.

>>385688881
Because listening to people talk about videogames is retarded.

>>385689147
He lost like over 150lbs already. Dude was massive when he was an intern.

Will there ever be a group that matches or approaches golden age GB or is gaming journalism and content production down a one way path of shit?

>>385689149
Jason knocks up teenie bopperes
Dan preys on vulnerable porn stars

>>385689059
Because he was a safe recruit that won't quit like Austin.

>>385688881
It's New York. Despite Vinny and Alex being massive liberals, even they are quick to call anyone acting retarded "retards" and insult each other while genuinely enjoying playing games for a living. With Dan, there's energy for more content, Vinny is getting the hang of leading the team, Alex is less depressed these days and having a girl in the office does wonders for a male crew.

>>385689359
Abby has contributed jack shit, I'm getting tired of this meme. Her and her shitty voices can fuck off the podcast.

>>385689278
The industry has changed too much. It's ogre. If were lucky there's some youtuber out there.
I was listening to some podcast with two game devs playing through and discussing FF IX and I was legit surprised they weren't whining about Zidane being a creep or something like that.

>>385689415
her voices are epic

>>385689085
I really enjoy his weird interludes on UPF

>>385689327
He will instead die on the couch of gigantism

>>385689085
I will always appreciate Rorie for buying thousands of dollars worth of video cards to play WoW and somehow not knowing anything about a game he has almost exclusively been playing for 12 years.

>>385689149
It was Jason. He impregnated a 14-year-old (MAYBE she was 16, I can't recall) as a 16-year-old himself. He did not continue that relationship for even a second and was absolved of any responsibility towards raising that child. He also became a drug addict, alcoholic who totally wrecked his brain and body, married some completely bizarre feminist who wanted to leave him, so he impregnated her, too just to keep her from divorcing him.

Video production was a job he got maybe 10 years ago when a friend said they needed an intern help and he was unemployed so he just said fine. Eventually couldn't get fired so they made him staff over at GameInformer with Dan.

Steal my Sunshine is probably one of the most painful series they've ever produced. Everyone except Dan consistently demonstrates that they're incapable of mastering the basics of a children's game. They didn't even dive until the game demanded it to finish a platforming section. Abby seems bored out of her mind and doesn't want to do anything except not play the game (gamble), Vinny is ???????, and Alex is constantly whining about the game.

Watching it, it's easy to understand how they never finish games.

Brad is hyper conscious about never offending anyone. He tries to downplay anything with mild chuckles and "never mind." The only times he doesn't do this is when he's trying to make jokes with Jeff or when ragging on Dan/Anything Dan Related (always happening in Mario Party Party).

Otherwise, while he does remember a lot of games to reference them (not as much as Jeff, who is like an anthology AND knows everyone who made them), he is bad at them and knows he can't call it bad given how terrible so in line with it being his job to criticize works of art in San Francisco...he's super, super mild and tries to be inoffensive with chuckles and SICC FADES.

If the west coast staff needs a video guy so badly why don't Brad or Ben just start learning from Jason?

Their job is to play approximately 30 minutes to an hour of a game and then make a video where they talk about it
Regardless of if a game's good, they're only ever going to finish something if they genuinely care about it or if people hound them about it in the right way

Learn what? Jason doesn't know anything.

>>385692307

Shit, I thought she was in her thirties.

Because they're getting older and they have less patience for the filler bullshit that infests modern gaming.

>>385692163
No, Jason doesn't know anything. He needs to be fired.

Jeff literally learned how to do more than Jason when he was just playing with their control panel during some livestream and "jason is out of the office this friday again" days.

This
The only time Giant Bomb produces anything of quality is when Jeff's soul temporarily inhabits his body as he's talking about an old game, an obscure technical project he's working on, or when he's recounting a story that relates to the inner machinations of writing and publishing

They hired some 22 college dropout when i and probably many other applicants have years of experience editing videos and covering games

They need to get back to quick looking every game that comes out in a week. They used to try to do this but now it's more like if they're interested in a game they'll quick look it. It's ridiculous they do like 3-4 quick looks a week and it's sometimes all obscure indie shit.

>>385686391
Yeah it's a common reaction.

>>385692598
random dropout is just as qualified to ramble dumb shit about video games than someone with years doing it

>>385692662

Ain't obscure when they first or secondhand know someone involved in it

I was kind of excited that they are actually giving kh a chance but I doubt they'll even finish kh1 and then they will never ever try kh2's glorious combat and just call the series clunky and weird.

I have absolutely no problem with somebody being gay such as Drew, but I wont put up with this shit.

I kinda miss Austin. I thought he meshed real well with Vinny and Alex. But I tried to listen to his new podcast on Waypoint and it was fucking terrible. Just him, Patrick, and two other SJWs literally going "fuck drumpf!!" for the first 20 minutes. Also it's hilarious that Patrick works under Austin now, what a cuck.

>>385689327

>>385693052

yeah I don't fault them for it, a ton of shit is pretty vague in kh1, especially the exp route and questions tied to it. btw they took the wand but then went with the dusk exp route didn't they? well at least they aren't playing on the hardest difficulty.

>>385693263
part of me is spiteful and sort of hopes they get gated on cerberus or ansem-riku or something and literally have to stop playing the game

>>385692984
I miss Austin because he played and enjoyed games that the rest of the staff had no interest in.
I specifically remember Stellaris and Xenoblade Chronicles X, two great games what would have just been dismissed by everybody else.
Couldn't stand him on the podcast though. His "we need to have a discussion" about everything was retarded.

giant bomb ended in 2013 when ryan died, everything past that is non-canon

Also the West crew only goes into the office for like 3-4 days a week now. When they're doing the PUBG stream (which they do weekly now) they're playing from home.

so just fire Rorie, Jason, Brad, Ben, and Alex. Then Jeff (and Drew when he's not busy fucking foreign sluts with Patreon money) can teleconference in to the East Coast office for quick looks. This is [current year], no need for everyone to be physically sitting in the same room to play video games

There was a ribbit post by Vinny (I think) a while ago on it, can't really remember much of it other than an absurd amount of meetings.

Wait, has this actually happened?

Bethesda isn't giving press pre release review copies anymore and Giant Bomb basically said they're not going to cover their shit.

>>385690258
For a guy that knocked somebody up at 16 his life could have turned out a lot worse.

>>385692662
To be fair quick looks were always the worst form of content.

Why would i watch 30-40 minutes of gameplay when i can play the gane myself? Besides the devs put iyt enough ganeplay footage

>>385697421
They pretended Dishonor 2 didn't exist after Beth said no more review copies to some sites.

Anyone else used to hate Matt but now kind of enjoy him being around on the UPF?

I liked when he told Ben to stop talking last week. Ben fucking blows and I'm tired of the garbage he brings to the UPF.
