    Whern't you asking a day ago if you should get the DLC, why would you want a review, you already bought it. They dont always do a review, if they dont they wouldn't be neglecting it. Brad said he might finish it in the quicklook.

    Also they almost never do quicklooks for dlc like that.

    There might be a review, there might not, but seeing as Brad likes to finish games he is reviewing I would not expect it soon. Also if you played FF13, watched the quicklook, listened to the bombcast talk about it and read all the other reviews and are still on the fence I don't think Brad can offer you much.

    They are not neglecting it. Brad has played it and may continue to do so.

    @ShinjiEx: Jeff said that they try to stay away from reviewing longer games. They are only a handfull of reviewers and having Brad spend a whole week reviewing FFXIII and then a whole week on Red Dead wasn't the best use of resources.

    @ShinjiEx: you seem to not have noticed that GB doesn't always a) review every game b) has reviews ready on release day

    just chill. Brad said he wants to finish the game so he might as well write a review ... just try to be patient.

    there're better games that get less attention so nothing to complain here..

    They did a quick look.

    Whether or not Brad is going to do a review is unknown. His review for XIII was weeks late because he switched platforms but IDK if he'd do that for this game.

    @mosespippy: Well, they never posted the RDR review, because time got away from them.

    Pretty much is the only review I read. Which is why this many games coming out all once sucks since we're not going to get a review of every one. I hope they review some Vita games, though. I'm pretty interested in picking that up.

    [sarcasm]Yeah what the hell Giant Bomb? The 100+ hour game has already been out an entire week, so the fact you don't have a comprehensive review out of it yet is just inexcusable. Oh and why haven't you made a big deal over the fact there is a new weapon. I demand a in-depth look at the positives and negatives of said weapon.[/sarcasm]

    It seems Square didn't provide a review copy before hand, and they don't like publishing reviews weeks after people stop needing them. I'd expect another Bombcast discussion after he finishes.

    Brad took two or three weeks to finish 13 for review. I expect this game will get the same treatment.

    Also, come the fuck on, dude. Really.

    The whisky crew dont directly add everything to the site. Make a thread about this spific issue and the mods should be able to add it.

    Giantbomb never reviewed Witcher 2, which is three times more potent than any recent FF entries. So don't worry if they're not reviewing it.

    Long-ass games like Dragon Age II and Dark Souls weren't reviewed because Vinny was the only person who played them. I think Dave of all people reviewed Dragon Age: Origins.

    I bet Brad would give it a 3. He would say the combat still rocks and it looks pretty, but complain about quick-time events and boring and/or annoying characters in an unsatisfying story. THREAD FINISHED!

    Just because there is no review doesn't mean it's been neglected. Witcher 2 didn't get a review and it was in Giantbomb's top 10 games of last year.

    It's no Vinny-Recap, but Brad will probably talk more about it on the next couple Bombcasts.

    Also that DLC is an in-game item, not a piece of extra story or missions, so as long as most people are concerned its garbage. Horse Armor if you will.
