Things you vehemently disagree with the Giant Bomb crew on?

Their entitlement to their own opinions.

I disagreed with Brad on his thought of FF13 in the podcast but 1 he hasnt gotten through much of the game and 2 I fear some of my fanboyism shines around the Final Fantasy series but once again everyone has their own opinions :)

I agree with most things they say, except "Anime is for jerks".  I'm sure there's several things I disagree with but this is the only one that pops up in my mind.

I disagree with the belief that this website is a giant bomb.

" Their entitlement to their own opinions. "

Anime is for jerks.  Also douches.
 
Now if you will excuse me I need to watch HD episodes of DBZ...

" I agree with most things they say, except "Anime is for jerks". "

Everything. That's why I spend my Wednesday mornings yelling outside their office for hours after listening to the podcast. Nice office though.....

I like Manga, which I know they hate.
Also Star Wars is awesome. I'm not going to knock Star Trek because that is cool too. But the strong hate for Star Wars kinda irks me everytime I hear it.

overall the guys are cool.  
everyone has opinions so everyone will occasionally disagree, even vehemently, with one of them. 

" 2. Them knocking on RTSes for becoming too complicated: I think back to Jeff's sentiments of Silent Service: "Most kids aren't totally stupid to not be able to pick up on the nuances of a game." Given that 10% of an RTS is based on knowledge of the mechanics and the other 90% on feint and psychology, as long as they're able to pick up on games like Virtua Fighter and Street Fighter, they could be at least respectable players at RTSes.  But, to balance all that, I share Ryan's sentiments; I've zero love for the Sonic series of games.  What about your thoughts? "

I dislike it when Vinny isn't on the podcast.  He always steps down for guests, which is pretty cool of him, but it should be Brad.

Brad likes anime.  We was caught wearing a Naruto shirt in the Let's Tap Unboxening video.  Vinny has noted being a fan of DBZ. "

Demon's Souls.

That Star Wars is stupid. 
Surely, Star Wars has been privy to many stupid things, sure.  What long-running franchise isn't? 
Doesn't outweigh the impact and influence of the original trilogy, the visual splendor of Genndy Tartakovsky's animated Clone Wars (not the CGI show, although that isn't bad in certain storylines), and some of the great video game fodder produced. 
Besides that, only the occasional odd statement and review. 
Agree to disagree, that's what I say.

I'm here to disagree most of the time, that's my job as an internet nobody. I even use profane language to get my juvenile opinion out there. I love my goddamn Wii, you hear that, and Move looks fucking cool as hell.

Jeff and Ryan like some really, really bad movies.

BlazBlue

That Demon's Souls' is too difficult, and un-fun as a result. It's not difficult.... it's somewhat challenging, and incredibly rewarding and fun.

That Star Wars is stupid. Jeff's hate of Halo 2 (second best in the series so far)

That PC gaming is now in league with the best, now that matchmaking is a common.

They seem to think that LittleBigPlanet is over and done with, a novelty and nothing more. To that end, I disagree.

" Jeff's hate of Halo 2 (second best in the series so far) "

"I love my goddamn Wii, you hear that"

I agree with Jeff in saying that most anime is pure garbage. I also despise anime culture and everything surrounding it, so maybe its just me or maybe I just hate japanophiles. I've never given it much thought because its not worth it.

the splinter cell thing, other than that those guys are hecka cool. Would be funny if they all dug conviction and talked about it on the podcast.

Most everything Ryan says, actually. That guy is wrong about a lot... Helicopters are fucking awesome, I want one more than anything.

" Helicopters are fucking awesome, I want one more than anything. "

I've always thought (well, for two and a half months) that it was a bit strange to have the Silent Hill   remake/re-imagining as their Wii Game of the Year, considering, if I recall how the podcast went, that Brad was the only one who finished (or maybe even played it) and the rest of the guys had to be spoiled the ending off air before being sold on it. I'm not too sure about recognizing a game that 3/4 haven't played in this way (again, if I do have all that right). I'm more of a fan of the idea that a game has to at least be played thoroughly enough or not be considered at all. Reminds me of the Shane Bettenhausen story where he refused to consider KOTOR as GOTY 2003 because he hadn't played it all.   
 
It is all fun and games and stupidity obviously, so no big deal. I'm happy to disagree with their thoughts and opinions, as long as they present their thoughts well.    
 
/not an anime guy either 
//nor a Star Trek guy  
///do love me some Splinter Cell

////and slashies!

I couldn't possibly disagree more with Jeff's statement that split-screen multiplayer is obsolete and dead. I even wrote a blog dealie about it. Short version: I will pick the emotional connection I feel to the player sitting next to me on the couch over the nonexistent connection to the online player on the other end of my earphone any day of the week. 
 
Also: Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are two of my all-time favourite movies, right up there with movies the Bomb Squad cares about, like RoboCop or Predator. 
 
But I do generally agree with them. For example, I am point-for-point with them that modern RTSes move too quickly, I much prefer spending twenty minutes just building my base into an untouchable fortress and my army into an unstoppable legion of doom over the speedy matches that are over in ten minutes. I just can't keep up. 
 
's why I didn't touch any of the Command & Conquer games after Red Alert 2.

Their immediate dismissal/quaint regard of Ukrainian/Russian games. And their opinion that rts's are overly complicated.
 
but whatever, I still listen to em. and like em.

I don't feel like angering the entire staff right now. Plus I don't think I have 10 hours to list my disagreements.

Basically Ryan's taste in anything.  Movies, Games, whatever.

That flower and heavy rain are anything but utter crap

I think they have an overly console based approach, not enough pc stuff is done, and what is is usually not taken seriously or just goes over their heads. I don't want to offend the guys but I just get the feeling that they're 'dumb' gamers. They like the cheap thrills and flashing colours, and can recognise quality (like Heavy rain), but at the same time aren't willing to go further into a game than just face value.

And so does the OP."

The only problem i have with the crew is how 360 oriented Jeff and Ryan are. It seems like they make Brad do all the ps3 game reviews, and when they get a ps3 game sent for review they'll go out and get the 360 one at launch to compare, but if they get a 360 one they wont bother getting the ps3 one.

i disagree with some of the things they say  
but  what i do agree with, is that anime is definitely FOR JERKS

I would have to say I disagree most with the Star Wars hate. Granted, the prequel trilogy was utter garbage and they haven't made a decent game since Jedi Academy, but you can't hate a cultural icon just because of the greedy direction Lucas took it in. A lot of the expanded universe that takes place after the original trilogy is rather good, and I think more games need to explore those storylines. One thing that the franchise doesn't need, however, is another awful TFU game.

FF13.
