Giant Bomb |OT 11| New Personal Best
- Thread starter Death Metalist
- Start date

Does anyone here watch Stuart Ashen? The reason I ask is because he reminds me an awful lot of Jeff. They're both around the same age and are knowledgeable about old games. Their sense of humor is similar, and most importantly, they both despise Funko Pops. I remember Jeff was saying that he wanted to have someone on to talk about old European gaming systems, so my dream content is to have both of them talking about old games. I think some of the people here might enjoy his stuff as well.
I think this is a way of saying that some of their GOTY choices have stood the test of time better.Where are you seeing this? All I'm seeing is this:
I'm not sure why now, at the end of 2018, they're going back to Mario Maker but ok
Accept nothing less than the second best QL Giant Bomb has ever produced. (The best is of course, Wipeout 2's QL.)
Edit: Though for real, use QLcrew to browse what they've made over the years. Navigating old stuff on their site--even with the redesign collecting shows and stuff together--is still a nightmare. Just pick a game you're interested in and go from there. Or if you have a penchant for a specific duder, you can filter like that, too.
and welcome to GBera.

Giant Bomb is absolutely terrible, none of them even like video games. They're really just doing this because they can't get jobs anywhere else.
Demo Derby
Mario Party Party
Metal Gear Scanlon
Thirteen Deadly Sims
Oh and welcome!
Could be worse. Could you imagine if GB gave GotY to an Early Access Battle Royale game?
Honestly, hindsight has been harsh as hell to that decision. They're making more content for Super Mario Maker than PUBG in December 2018.
They need to port Super Mario Maker on Switch already. Give me something to do on the touchscreen other than browsing the eshop with my tongue.
They'd never do that. Not even Alex's love of Firepro could let them break those ironclad standards.
2019 will probably see a metric fuckton of ports. With the money they made on MK8 I don't see how they don't now port over the rest of the even somewhat big games on Wii U. Surprised they haven't already announced Wind Waker and Twilight Princess to be honest.
I feel like 2019 on the switch is going to be like 2013 on the 3DS - a massive cavalcade of exclusives in the second big wave for the platform.
I swear I'm not just making that comparison because both years have Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem.
How many new exclusives are already announced besides Animal Crossing and Pokemon? I don't think Metroid Prime 4 is coming out before 2020.
Backflips in BioForge
Random PC Game: Phantasmagoria
Project B.E.A.S.T.
Until Dawn Playthrough
Contradiction Playthrough
Also, you might want to use QL Crew to search for content since the GB search is garbage.
Probably that Retro Star Fox thing.
The actual new gen of Pokemon definitely.
The mech game.
Luigi's Mansion 3 (Another 2013 parallel!)
And let's not forget...
FITNESS BOXING

Yesss.
Start with the two Quick Looks and then both playdates to get the full Bomb East playthrough OwOtacon
Don't tell Dan's coworkers either.

Every game that gets that initial burst of glowing reviews goes through a critical reassessment. I think it's disingenuous to 1. dismiss it as criticism taking place in a Giant Bomb/Waypoint bubble when Patrick, Austin, and Rob Zacny had called out their personal concerns with the game from the jump and 2. other media groups have started reflecting on the game:
Russ Frushtick for Polygon: https://www.polygon.com/2018/11/28/...mption-2-rdr2-no-power-curve-problem-bad-gta5
Mike Williams for US Gamer: https://www.usgamer.net/articles/red-dead-redemption-2-controls-bad-good-horrible-or-immersive
Matt Reynolds for Wired UK: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/red-dead-redemption-2-review-rockstar
Steven Scaife for Slant: https://www.slantmagazine.com/games/review/red-dead-redemption-2#disqus_thread
Three of the four articles were posted within RDR 2'd launch window, while the US Gamer article was posted about a month after the game's release. They can't all be characterized as part of a "juvenile" post-release backlash. Also, they're not all focused on Rockstar's labor concerns, which should be taken into account when critically thinking about the game.

I mean it's objectively better than how he usually looks.
As my game of the year I love that RDR 2 has inspired so much debate, I just wish the same happened with a similarly acclaimed game that underwhelmed me the most this year: God of War
GoW went through the exact same thing. YouTubers like Matthewmatosis, TheGamingBrit, and Joseph Anderson have all heavily criticized it for its story and gameplay (particularly the combat).
I've seen the Matthewmatosis video and agree with it almost wholeheartedly but I haven't seen nearly as much debate around here as well as in articles on the merits of the game. Like for all of Red Dead's naysayers in this very thread whenever it gets brought I feel like I'm the only one to do this with God of War, heh.
I think part of it is definitely Red Dead being the more recent game with a raggedy and deliberate nature that is part of the whole point of the experience whereas GoW is the epitome of a slick, accessible and pretty AAA product.
If it is next week, I imagine that they will. They always strip it over the week.
Have we had any decent GOTY OT title suggestions yet?

"That's my gurrrrrrrl."
I think I voted for Arthur just because of how endearing it makes his character.

In RDR John Marston was pretty bland imo. I like his framing in RDR2 a lot better.
Also, Francis York Morgan is a really good character. .
