it seems like they would enjoy and game that's as nuts and over the top as blazblue, i think Jeff might have skipped through the story mode a bit in his first review, now whenever someone mentions it in the bombcast he will simple scoff at its very existence. that's a bummer man :/ now we know that there is little to know chance of them even looking at this much more refined and easy to learn sequel that might show them the potential of a fighting game that isn't street fighter or mortal combat.

They have very similar tastes and this game is too over the top for them. At least that's the vibe I get from them. Blazblue is a great game, and hopefully people actually try it out instead of dismiss it because of Jeff. >_>

I still have to play Blazblue.  I liked Guilty Gear and was thinking of getting the First Blazblue release when it came out but just kinda never got around to it.  Maybe I should head over to some user reviews.
 
Also, I think maybe Jeff isn't down for it because it wasn't one of those fighting games that he has a history.  He seems to really love Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat so that's what he'll want to talk about.  Although they did do a quicklook of the first one right?

Well, they've never even done a Quick Look or a review of my favourite game. Haters.

Jeff doesn't like fighting games like BlazBlue so that's why there is no coverage.  That's my guess.

I just finished a post on this in the other thread, but yeah, I'd say Jeff has no personal history with the series, so there's just no room in his black, wilted heart for the joys of BlazBlue.
 
The thing I've found interesting about the review was that he mentioned that it's a fighting game for people who've followed fighting games for a long time.  I play this game with my friends, and they pick it up super quick.  The divergent characters (12 characters who play vastly different, rather than 30 characters who play in 5 different ways), and pretty intuitive movesets make versus play and loser passes the controller parties fun... I find it baffling BlazBlue gets that rap, when Street Fighter requires twenty hours of practice to become fun.  BlazBlue, my friends were able to go buck ass wild with their characters within three matches.

People don't like everything. He played the game and didn't like it. Don't be so butt hurt. They shit on my favorite games all the time, while they praise games I find to be utter garbage. People have differing tastes... deal with it

What was weird was I was never into fighting games, but their not that fantastic quick look of calamity trigger actually got me super hyped about it.  Even though they don't make it look good, sometimes the game sells itself.  I love bb.

I'm with you, but then I'm not. There's nothing we can do about Jeff and Ryan not caring much about any games. I think it just came down to the point where they just don't care about them anymore. Well, mainly sleeper hits like BlazBlue. If you want to hear from people that give games a try and notice the good things about them then like @drakesfortune mentioned, listen to Weekend Confirmed. 
 
This isn't anything to bash on Jeff or Ryan. I just think maybe they could use a break. A long vacation.

You also have to take into acount that when the giantbomb staff review something its different from other reviews in the sense that a normal review talks about how the audience at large responds to it and a giantbomb review talks about how Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Brad, Dave or whoever else does a review for them talks about how they like the game, different people have different tastes

C'mon guys, we've been over this before.  It's just not going to happen on this site.  It sucks for the Blazblue fans, but it's the concrete reality of the situation. 

Honestly. Why do people really give a fuck what Jeff thinks? If you think it's good, then go spread the word. If the staff are not into that type of game then let it go. I just got a copy from gamefly and its fun. Something I won't buy cause I really don't care to get into all that hardcore. So if you think this is the most amazing fighting game every made. Good for you. Stop caring what other people think and getting super defensive about it.

I thought it was kinda weird that they didn't even mention it in new releases. I'd love Jeff bashing the game in a quick look / review but guess that won't happen.

I think they will be willing to give BB:CS a quick look or review at some point, but since they didn't really like the first game that much it's low on their priority list.  In the end you gotta remember a review is just one person's opinion, if Jeff is the type of guy to admit he was wrong if he was.  BB:CS is a great game and one that has received great praise on a number of sites, but it's not without it's flaws.  It just happens to get reviewed more harshly than Street Fighter because it doesn't have the Nostolgia Factor of Street Fighter.   Many of the criticisms people have against the game, are just a matter of taste.  So if you hate anime style character design or the visual novel structured story then your not gonna like a lot of things about the game.  Most people who don't play fighting games only know Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat so when something completely different comes along if they don't instantly understand it, they tend to just claim it's garbage and not take the time to truly get into it.

are you kidding me? "

i honestly feel jeff would give the new one at least 4 stars, he didn't like it mostly due to him now being able to pick it up from what i saw in the quicklooks.
 
lets get Matt to do a full review on the new one.

i guess no one read the review... seeing as one of the first lines of the review was him saying that he liked the Guilty Gear games (to what extent is unknown), but he knew the style of game that he was going in. He broke down some of the fight mechanics and praised the online play 
 
It basically boiled down to, the art-style may not be everyone's cup of tea and the fight mechanics have a slight learning curve to them.

Here I will embed the QL for you guys so that you could hear why Jeff doesn't like this game. His main criticism is not because of the anime-style and I find that the cutscenes are bad, it's not animated just still images will voice acting.
 
 

i wouldnt mind even if they just did a quick look.

There are alot of game series that the GB crew incorrectly hate or ignore. Someone should keep a list. Just some things that would go on it are: Blazblue, Pokemon, Sonic & Knuckles (seriously, wtf Jeff), Just Cause 2, nippon ichi stuff, etc

Get rid of the Sonic and Knuckles and you have a list, fuck that game straight up. "

people who don't like Sonic & Knuckles don't really count as people. Also guess i would add Demons' Souls onto that list. "

I like this its mainly people complaining about how unfair Jeff is and being, I'm sorry, "butt hurt" about no coverage on BB 2.  And the other half is people saying that  he isn't into it and stop complaining.
