Does Giant Bomb Make You Want To Play/Buy Crappy Games?

I know this is a weird question, but let me explain: 
 
A while back, the guys did a Quick Look for Darkest of Days.  The game looks absolutely horrific, but during the whole thing, I kept saying "I've gotta play this and see just how bad it is".  I finally found the game for $20 (as none of the rental places carry it).  Needless to say...yeah...that game is pretty horrible (and there might be a portion of me that wanted the Horse Puncher achievement as well, sure).  Nonetheless, I wouldn't have DARED to play the game if it weren't for the Giant Bomb Quick Look. 
 
Then they did a Quick Look for Jurassic: The Hunted...and I've gotta say...I need to play that game as well.  Maybe there's a bit of Seanbaby in me where I feel the need to torture myself with bad games...but seriously, I want to play that. 
 
It's like a Roland Emmerich movie...or an Uwe Boll movie.  You KNOW it's going to be terrible...but you just have to play it.  Could it be that there's just an MST3K Syndrome to it all, where you feel the need to play the game with a friend around so you can both make mad amounts of jokes about it being so terrible? 
 
So I ask you, Giant Bomb...does Giant Bomb make you want to play/buy crappy games?  They've made me spend a few bucks on absolute shit.  What abou you?

I would never have played The Maw if it wasn't for Giantbomb. I've also got copies of Amped 3 and Too Human on my shelf that I haven't played yet. I'll get to it.
 
EDIT: Oh, and they inspired me to go and defeat Razor Callahan, but that was amazing.

Yes

people make fun of those games in the quicklook comments... hell, the guys make fun of the games usually, but the darkest of days devs actually thanked them for the video, and I would assume others would too. even bad press IS press afterall. Tony Hawk Ride for example, they have given it more exposure than Activision for christs sake!
 
But no, it doesnt make me want to play those games. I play bad games regardless... :P

" I would never have played The Maw if it wasn't for Giantbomb. I've also got copies of Amped 3 and Too Human on my shelf that I haven't played yet. I'll get to it. "

I wouldn't call it crappy but a game that I liked alot less than I had expected from Giant Bomb's glowing recommendations is Burnout Paradise. I loved Takedown and I don't know whether its just the fact that I'm burnt out on the series or just my general dislike of racing games but this game didn't click with me. Maybe with more free time this coming holiday season I'll be able to get into it.

No. There was a time when I would play games regardless of quality. It is not something I want to do again. Now I only play games that I genuinely believe I will enjoy.

yes

 I actually wanted to play CSI after the quicklook but I have 2 many good games that need playing even e few mediocre ones before I go achievement hunting  in CSI. But hay I'm not promising anything I am a whore for achievements ....

Um, no those quicklooks are good enough to satisfy my "how bad is this" itch.

Watching them p[lay terrible games is pretty funny, but actually playing the game on my own would be pretty terrible.   
 
However I have played terrible games for fun with my friends just for kicks, I guess it's more fun to enjoy crappy games with others.

Nope, just watch people play them, with hilarious commentary.

well some quicklooks of bad games me think there is some fun to be had here

It doesn't take Giant Bomb, it just takes games like this;  
 
  

No, not really.  That Jurassic game looks terrible and I had no interest in it because of the QL.  Perhaps every QL of a shitty game should be prefaced with: "Don't try this at home."

I want to play them but not enough to buy them. I feel like a lot of the Quick Looks show you the majority of the hilarity without the hassle.

There is def a lil seanbaby in me I love playing and be pissed at bad games.

No, not at all. Games are seriously expensive enough, as it is.If you can afford to buy games you, yourself, believe to be crappy, you have too much money, or you should at least be devoting it more important matters.

I have a long standing obsession with Destruction Derby Arenas for PS2.  Terrible game, but I enjoyed the shit out of it. "

A little bit of Seanbaby in you? I don't think bad games can coax that out. It doesn't for me. On topic, no, I'm just not the type of person who wants to play bad games. Ever.

Nope.

I'll look for it the next time I go to Play N Trade. Their PS2 bin is a ocean of bad games "

I wouldn't.  I realized I hate it when game is frustrating and plays like shit.  I don't hate difficult games, I hate poorly designed games.

See, that's the thing, though.  There are games that are bad that don't control for shit or even have bad gameplay.  That was my thing with Destruction Derby Arenas - it had good gameplay and good controls.  The problem was that it was just underdeveloped and plagued with a myriad of problems.  That can be said for a lot of different games. 
 
Now, in the case of Darkest of Days...yeah, bad gameplay idea.  I mean, why would I wanna play a shooting game where I have to reload my gun after one shot EVERY FUCKING TIME?  I'm sure the WW1 stuff might be a bit different...but still...

Giant Bomb's looks at terrible video games and video game movies have been very entertaining but I've never actually wanted to purchase any of the more horrific games and movies they've looked at.

I think the idea of good/bad games is getting really dated. It's all about fun, and Giantbomb shows that. So what if Giantbomb made you want to get a game that underscored in reviews. Now you don't have bad reviews to keep you from buying a game you want.

Yeah sometimes after seing a fun quick look of a game that is below average, I feel tempted to buy it.

" @AndrewB: That makes we wonder if piracy for bad games would be justified?? "

I don't know, but I for one want to see a quick look of this.
 

yes, because having a common experience with the bomb crew makes me feel special ^_^

" yes, because having a common experience with the bomb crew makes me feel special ^_^ "

I would if I still had money to throw around like that. Got to save up for only the best.

Yeah, their enthusiasm for achievements and terrible games has certainly rubbed off on me. For example, I am definitely going to play CSI: Deadly Intent now that I've seen the Quicklook.

Well...the QL of Magna Carta 2 confirmed it as a generic-ass JRPG... and I love me some generic-ass JRPG. So I bought it..and will probably start it tomorrow.
