Guys why the fuck do people like these hacks? Every single fucking Soulsborne game gets cut because they're fuckig casuals who "don't have fun" with them. Fucking Thumper, Kerbal, Gears of War 3 are all better to them.
If you like Giant Bomb you are cancer

The guys who enjoy Souls games just felt fatigue from the rapid releases
I did too, but I'm enjoying BB right now
No, only that excuse for DS3.
soulsborne games are for people who are in too deep
They aren't even difficult.
Soulsbourne is boring in those terms dude
You can't really give an award to a game that delivered as expected and as it always does when there are more interesting games that took greater risk.
Good job from software you can make a hard game that looks good. Now do something new
BB came just a year after DaS2, which came out 2.5 years after DaS1
DaS2 sucked

WHITE SUPREMACY
YEAH SO I'M CUTTING THIS
I NEVER PLAYED IT
I DON'T THINK IT BELONGS BUT I WANT TO GIVE MY TAKE
I DON'T THINK IT HANGS
I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT BUT...
>muh piece
take that palmer luckey you fuck
They never disqualified it for that reason until 3.
That was irrelevant to their argument. They just didn't think it was fun because they were bad.
Just be glad Patrick Kleppek left. I stopped going to that site when started going pro-fag. Couldn't cope with it.
why are you mad at someone listing their favorite games?
It's not your list
>2015 goty award
>bloodborne is literally on everyone's personal lists, more than any other game
>One of the first games cut
Never understood that.
>That was irrelevant to their argument
I listened to the GotY day 5 podcast today and that's what Brad/Vinny said. Came out too soon together when they're typically high-stress games
I agree that they're high stress games. I sometimes take months long breaks before hitting them back hard for a weekend. Couldn't imagine having a wife and kids and trying to plow through those games
>I didn't like farming blood vials in same locations
AKA "I was too bad to beat any mildly challenging bosses"
Well
2 was a legit downgrade in every aspect
But I'm not going to defend them. They just don't play any games. Despite having a job where they literally play video games the guy who gets the most experimental and plays / tries the most games isn't even a games journalist. He's a video guy with a family. The other charismatic guy with interesting thoughts and diverse games...is also a video guy.
Huh.
That's DS3 you fucking moron.
Jesus christ are you dense.
>The other charismatic guy with interesting thoughts and diverse games...is also a video guy.
and he's too busy being a functional adult to play games.
guy is always up to some bizarre shenanigans. He's fucking flying planes before he goes to work. how do you compete with that hair and that broad hobbyset?
>one man who did something so brazen as have controversial political views caused an event only those who are super plugged in even heard of, and whose consequences were so minimal they were barely felt
>he is worse than a game that exemplified everything wrong in the industry and took a ton of money while going radio silent and became a high profile disappointment / laughing stock
I hate everyone man.i tried to watch giant bomb play nioh but alex really ruined it. It would have been fine even with just vinny/austin
I really don't think Alex is that bad, he has many defensible opinions.
>Hate Alex
>He's also probably the one that gets GOTY lists from Swery, Lanning and Takahashi
I don't know how to feel about this.
noone does, whenever a giant bomb thread popups it's just a handful of samefags keeping threads going
>Jeff likes games ironically because it has a certain style
>except when he doesn't
>Jeff loves a bad game and will defend it to death
>doesn't understand why someone else would like a game he doesn't
>games that are interesting and try new things are great
>but except when they're not (yet to be determined )
>Jeff really likes games involving old school hip hop ironically (????)
>except no, never, that's stupid and cash grabby
Don't forget ATE ITS LUNCH
Jeff is the one I hate, he just seems like a contrarian.
jason isn't charismatic
watching him play god eater was a weird affair. everytime nana was doing anything or some boobs bounced he always put on a big show of cringing and looking disgusted, sometimes muttering stuff under his breath. like goddamn man, sixty hour in and a lifetime of your favorite anime being fucking ranma and you're still being phased by that shit?
Fuuuuucking hell I got so sick of hearing him say that.
I'm not talking jason
its all posturing
its what you have to do to work in games media
>Not liking Kerbal
You don't like going fast eh?
Gotta make sure people know you have morals, amirite?
yeah i guess, or in public spaces in general
but i mean, seriously though, if you're gonna be saying shit like "yeah man god eater this is MY THING!!" for the sole purpose of cultivating some kind of marketable quirk why not lean into it all the way?
because he would be blacklisted in the industry and also would hurt his current employer
i also believe that jason is into the shitty grind of mo hun and god eater. He's not doing it for show
have you watched Jeff play galgun?
He leans into the creepy psuedopedo part of it real fucking hard.
i don't think jason could make a comedy bit out of it the same way jeff could
farming blood vials was horseshit specifically at the beginning when you couldn't even bank them
drew has the worst taste in games
also for all of god eater's fanservice and anime schlock?
it's not a surreal deluge of it like galgun is
>one of the rare games where you can NTR yourself
or i guess not since no one in the west played the first gal gun, but hey
he does it to satirize the 'basement dwelling weeb'
i really fucking hate how they waffle about it being ok to crack jokes about some groups of people while other groups are beyond reproach
>no more gay sexual content jokes
Giant Bomb is good
Because if people like games he doesn't or don't like games he does he doesn't get the validation he so desperately craves
I don't really have an opinion on these guys, but I got a friend who is like a super fan of theirs. He spouts their opinions like it's his own and acts like they literally can do NO wrong. I pointed out that one time one of their writers had a conflict of interest and he went ballistic on me yelling that I'm just a right wing lunatic who hates when liberals write about video games.
It's poisoned my view of the website if anything. But most of the people there are okay i suppose.
Maybe he just doesnt like little girls in skimpy outfits. It's possible to like a game but not care for parts of it.
>conflict of interest
lol. do elaborate
Basement-dwelling weebs aren't people. It's perfectly acceptable to make fun of them. Those stupid fucking nerds.
Someone's interests conflicted with his
hurf a derp
>conflict of interest
What Supergiant? No Goblin?
It was something small like writing an article about someone who donated to him on Patreon without a disclosure. It was a small thing that I simply said shouldn't happen. That's it. I don't hate the site or anything. He threw a tantrum yelling about how I'm a right wing asshole.
That's it.
your friend is a dipshit.
I mostly listen to their podcast because they're entertaining and occasionally a topic comes up where jeff goes off on some insider knowledge and the behind the scenes of the industry bleeds out.
When they talk about the business and the backend of video games, it's great. Otherwise it's a bunch of dudes that get paid to entertain man children.
Well, are you a right wing asshole? I mean maybe he was just fed up with your shit and that comment was an excuse to tell you how he felt.
>Alex
>has many defensible opinions
Maybe if you live in an especially sheltered part of San Francisco.
>2011
>Dark Souls comes out
>Vinny is the only one who has played it
>Everyone shits on him for even suggesting it should be on a GOTY list
>Fast forward a bit, the series' cult following has grown larger and larger
>Suddenly half of their group is into it
The problem is that this friend thinks anyone who's not as far left as him is a right wing asshole. He thinks because I make gender pronoun I campaigned for Sanders
>it's an Everyone Fucking Loves Superhot For Some Reason episode
I thought it was a fun, if overpriced, single playthrough (I got memed into buying it at launch) that left absolutely no lasting impression.
It's impossible that they played it later and learned to like it, right?
JJJJJJEEEEEeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEeeeeUUUUUUSSSSSSSS
CCCHHHHHRRRRRRRRIIIIIISSSSTTTT
only vinny and brad like soulshit
they love anything that takes fewer than 3 hours to complete
Yep, and the same thing goes for the ultra-dweeby pumpkin-spice skim-milk latte chugging San Fran hipsters who genuinely think they aren't just another set of dweebs, albeit one with even less clout due to being loudmouthed, needy politicals with inconsistent demands and no marketable demographic with cash to make up for it.
I've noticed that "piece" is one of Patrick and Austin's favorite words. They always refer to articles that they or others write as "pieces". Every single time.
also refer to: inside
I'm still upset about buying that at launch. I felt like I was duped.
I bet the VR one is loads of fun though.
The risk of listening to people with children about video games.
being vaguely arty is always a bonus
>heatst.com
GB bringing up Lucky was odd in that, i'm a bit behind in podcasts but they don't even appear to fucking mention it once?
>leader in a nascent industry

>Dan brings in Tropical Freeze to GOTY
>ZERO reason for it not winning aside from jeff being high on some literal who indieshit noone remembers
>It becomes a running gag about how bad his taste of music is
What did David Wise do to deserve this?
who are these 'devs'?
what 'games' were lost?
>Ian Miles Cheong
Absolutely bizarre how hard he flip flopped from being textbook SJW to constantly shitting on them
There was a prolonged discussion on the Bombcast (like 30 minutes) on the week of the news. Same sort of finger-wagging, sans Alex. The Beastcast had a shorter bit where Vinny got really triggered by the mention of "shitposting" and went on a sort of "we will not tolerate intolerance" rant, reinforcing their totalitarian community moderation.
Is this breitbart for libertarians?
anyone else stop listening to these Hill-shills as soon as Trump won? Deleted them and so many other cucked podcasts from my list.
Microsoft/Xbox, Giant Bomb/ Bethesda fagboys and Todd Howard worshippers the cancers. You all deserve to die of Ebola, Cancer and AIDS.
Well fuck.
Vinny was the last bastion of sanity on that site. I kinda get where he's coming from though, seeing as he's got 2 young children, but he has to teach them how to handle assholes in the future. Telling his kid to be nice and play nice and coddling him is going to be a fucking trainwreck when his son turns out to be the sensitive kid in class and turns into a "nice guy" who ends up sexually assaulting a girl because he never learned to be a fucking man.
>GB shitting on original Donkey Kong trilogy music of all things
Alright that's it.
I'm fucking done with these e-plebs.
he let his son go as a princess for halloween
he lived in SF too long and he's too far gone
that being said he is the ONLY person on the staff who appears capable of empathy
It was the most agonizing bullshit. He was showing good songs too. It wasn't like they were shitty songs. They were acting like the songs were utter garbage. Apparently it wasn't enough wub wub wub or death metal for them. They love that gay ass shit.
they probably just don't remember its music at all and are shitting on it to fuck with dan
>reinforcing their totalitarian community moderation.
lol
And he can be a complete maniac when he wants to. i wonder how much being a dad tamed him. could the Vinny of today still shout the word CUNT on a podcast and give zero fucks?
appparently not as many as i thought, but superhypercube is one of them
palmer luckey is still disappeared though, latest news is that he's switched to some undisclosed role
and NMS is still chugging along
I hate what their GoTY discussion have become.
Rarely more than 2 people in the group have played the games they're discussing and its just horse trading their favs onto the list.
>You know here is a game we've all played and enjoyed but I'd be willing to see it go as long as adventure game #72 makes it onto the list
>Well I want top down indie shooter on the list too so I'll happily see that go
>IM JEFF AND I DIDN'T ENJOY THAT GAME SO IT SHOULD GO
>I just want to say my piece about Nina's game
Its really dull.
nigga giant bomb have always been no taste plebs
bioshock infinite was jeff's 2013 goty and in his writeup basically dismissed anyone who picked at the glaring flaws in the plot as a nerd
>dan playing stardew valley music
>their reactions
Wrong duder died
>superhypercube
OH SHI-
so the only 'notable' company to leave occulus is the one run bythe implusive 'fuck gamers, fez 2 is canceled' french canadian manchild phil fish
>I just want to say my piece about Nina's game
>Nina's game
Sounds like something motivated more so by personal friendship (or at least adoration) rather than a quality game.
"We like to have fun here" - Jeff Gerstmann
Yeah that was Cibelle last year. Really irritated me because whenever Cibelle came up Alex made sure to mention that it was Nina's game.
>Mornin' Dan!
>Cibelle
nina is the most tollerable of thier indyshit friends
lamo nintenbabbies, no one want to listen to your nursery rhymes
