So, Persona 4 is now almost over in the endurance run... so, I'm hoping Jeff and Vinny do another endurance run for a new game...
if they do end up doing another endurance run... which game do you think they're gonna choose? or which game would you want them to play?
I'm gonna hope for Final Fantasy 4: The After Years... but I doubt that'll happen, lol
Guesses on the next game for Endurance Run?
after watching part 130... I totally thought that was the end, lol
regardless, what game do you think the guys will choose once Persona 4 is over?
I kind of doubt Persona 3 FES being the next game they're gonna do...
I think they might want to get a little variety in there...
I also think for it to be successful, it'd have to be very story based, just like persona is.
1. No, the endurance run is not almost over. Not by a long shot.
2. Why would Jeff and Vinny do another one? They've been harassed by users throughout this endurance run. They've seen the true nature of this community, and I'm sure they don't like what they see.
I wouldn't be so sure, sir. It is plain in my eyes that Jeff and Vinny are quite sick of this. I personally thought they might play dumb and go for the bad ending, just so it would be over with.
And even if it isn't much of the community, can you imagine how these guys feel? They started this so they could play through a game and entertain the community, this was definitely the case at first, but imagine if 0.001% of this community PM'd you every day with possible spoilers? That's alot of people, and that's alot of crap.
They also saw the nice part of the community, people who can have good time listening to them playing a weird awesome game for 80 hours (!). That's got to be worth something to them. You can't tell me that they aren't amazed by the number of fans, no matter how annoying they might be. I am not going to say that it's a part of my life, but it's certainly a part of my weekday afternoons.
The vast number of fans who like the ER simply enjoy it quietly. Why would they say something, they have nothing to complain about. It's the "Amazon.com" effect.

You really think he's going to let a few assholes stop the Endurance Run? There are certainly valid reasons not to do another ER, but a tiny fraction of the community being dicks is not one of them.
My position on the endurance run argument is that they should have a month's break (at least) because as Jeff said in the Ep 50 behind the scenes vid, "this is a little pricey". I think that there are A LOT of the staff's hours spent on the ER (Vinny/Jeff having to play the game, Drew having to edit it) and since they started there haven't been as many crazy videos (such as the Too Human video and Video Thing) so I wouldn't mind them having a break from Endurance Runs.
Actually, the Witcher would be pretty interesting. There's quite a bit of story, there are choices to be made, semi-interesting action, interesting characters, interesting world, and... sex, lots of sex." My hopes: Persona 3 FES Star Wars Galaxies EVE Online The Witcher Oblivion Dragon Age "

I'm still pretty set on it being something where they both interact beyond dialog trees. Persona has it built into it's combat with the finding the weakness, also there's a strong element in the fusing.
Persona 3 FES is even longer than P4, and I doubt they will immediately jump into another SMT game.
Well, as I've said in the past and thanks to the Quick Look some people agree, I'd hope for a continuation of Incredible Crisis.
Other titles that might be fun and unique are Oddworld: Stranger, Yakuza (or Y2), The Witcher, Jade Empire and Rogue Galaxy. These aren't new games, but may also be titles that average players passed up for stronger franchises.

The Endurance Run is one of the most popular features of GiantBomb, and not doing a second one would be a silly business mistake. And you're being way OTT about the community, they haven't been bad at all. Sure a few members were being dicks, but the vast majority are supportive.
Am I the only person who thinks this was just a One Off and will not be repeated? Why is everyone assuming there's going to be another one right away, even if there's another you can bet your socks they are gonna take a break first.
Edit: Also as other users have said, once november hits the entire crew will be super busy until the end of february with games to review and new games to play.
Truth." None, at least for the next 3 months. People need to chill out for a bit. "
Also, this topics been done before.

My guess is that the Endurance Run will be of much shorter games if they do this again. And yeah, they'll definitely be taking a break from this when this is over, but I do think that this will happen again and Ryan was glad at the idea of doing an incredible Crisis ER. I mean, Jeff and Vinny had started the Persona 4 ER because they couldn't find the time anywhere else to play the game, they wanted to do it for themselves.
Haha, oh man... now that you mention Yakuza, that makes me think a Shenmue and Shenmue 2 endurance run might be pretty awesome (despite the bummer cliffhanger ending)Other titles that might be fun and unique are Oddworld: Stranger, Yakuza (or Y2), The Witcher, Jade Empire and Rogue Galaxy. These aren't new games, but may also be titles that average players passed up for stronger franchises. "
Honestly, I've been waiting for a Shenmue 3 for AGES now, and not only would the Shenmue games be great for listening to Jeff and Vinny's reactions, but if it can do the same thing it did for Persona 4, and get more people interested in the games who wouldn't have bothered with them before, then that'd be pretty awesome, and maybe help pursuade Sega to finally make that Shenmue 3 game!!!
Hey, while we're at it, let's have a Jet Set Radio endurance run... and a Skies of Arcadia endurance run... all of these sound like great ideas to me!
Maybe the endurance run can help some great dead franchises come back :-)
oh hey! let's have a Toobin' endurance run! Tell WB what we want out of that midway licence! lol :P
I really hope they do another one. I don't feel like trying to catch up on all the episodes but a whole new game would be great. :)
Well, they've flat out said, that this is one of their most popular features on the site, and one of the stickiest videos (people watch for the longest) they have. It was one of their aha moments, when they realized that video would be part of their niche in VG sites.
My guess: possibly something crazy Japanese and obscure--and quite possibly from Atlus yet again, since that's what they're known for. Whatever it is, it may take them a while to find a game that fits the bill, but it really should be an older game that no one played, but they always wanted to. The PS2 probably has the best library for that, which is fine, since the videos aren't encoded in anything that resembles hi-res on this site (I'm not knocking it, just saying that it doesn't need to be bleeding edge visuals). I'd say, open up the PS2 back-catalogue and find a lost gem that's super quirky and random...

"true hmm yeah initially i thought due to the man hours involved in making the endurance run i assumed they might stop but yeah they have said many people watch it so that would lead to the conclusion that they would do another one.
As to what game they should do I think they need to rule out MMO's although many people say Eve online I think it be really really boring watching them grind out and many MMO's have( Not out of ignorance i have played DAOC, WoW, Guild Wars) I think another JRPG maybe one of the Tales games which are pretty niche but still are seen as great games like Persona.
