I've noticed the site rely more and more on solo streams to showcase games or to fill the content schedule and I think these streams are generally much worse than the average quicklook or video feature. GiantBomb struck gold with the concept of multiple people bantering on video. This format is great with 2 people and even better with 3 as 2 people can focus talking and asking questions while the third focuses on playing the game.
Today's Monster Hunter stream was the perfect example to illustrate the problem. If Jason did the stream in the studio with Brad and Jeff or whoever else I would've been sold. I would've watched the whole thing. Now if it's Jason by himself at home he's competing with thousands of twitch streamers who are frankly much more experienced at streaming solo than any of GB crew.
