Ive been a user of the site since it was just a simple blog before it officially launched . I moved on from gamespot when jeff left and discovered arrow pointing down cast etc . Anyway when the site launched i never really bothered with the forums etc as that kind of thing didn't interest me much . I was only interested in the content . But now Giantbomb has become a site almost fro teh endurance run itself . About 70% including this thread on the forum are about the endurance run in some way . Whos your favourite character , Where is the next episode of the endurance run , favorite quotes from teh endurance run blah blah blah . Im sick of it . When giantbomb did the end of matrix online i went to the stream and about 99% of the chat was god damn quotes . Its not funny . Its boring and i wish it had never been made because then they could consentrate on better content .
Just had to get that off my chest .
p.s Stop quoting the fucking endurance run ! Your worse than the family guy fanboys !
I kinda wish they never made the endurance run
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I've seen like one episode of the endurance run. I mean I don't mind it, Persona just isn't my kinda game. It is kind of annoying that people seem to only visit the site for it and don't contribute anything more than 'what are your favorite x' about Persona threads that aways pop up.
I see the Endurance Run as only one part of a great website. It's certainly not (to me) the main focus of the site.
I think you're CRAZY. Absolutely insane. You need to be committed, right now, dammit.
First off, we're not worse than Family Guy fanboys, you know you didn't mean it.
Secondly, I love it. It made me play Persona 4 and it quickly became one of it not my favorite game ever.
Thirdly, it's not for you, oh well. Still, no reason to hate on it or anything, it's one of the sites mainstays because many people (Including myself) find it hilarious.
Sorry you don't bro.

My thoughts exactly.
So you obviously missed the, literally, 12 Quicklooks they did this week then right? You must have not seen the 14 Interviews with developers, and 3 Panel videos they posted this week. You also must have overlooked the 2 written reviews they did, and the 2 hour Podcast." Ive been a user of the site since it was just a simple blog before it officially launched .

But you are right. There is nothing on GiantBomb but Endurance run. They might as well rename the site to GiantEnduranceRun.com
" @PowerSerj: And brought a load of anime loving idiots with them . Just look at the forum these days . Im not wrong "
P.S. You're a fucking hater.
"GET BENT!"
Making people stop quoting the endurance run is like telling Sneakers O'Toole to take his sneakers off.
I also don't really care about the endurance run. However, I do not think it is a negative thing about the site.
" @Asurastrike: Of course i saw the content . But in this post i am pointing out the taint of endurance run on the forums "So you are bitching about something you don't like, and judging those who like it? If anyone doesn't belong on GiantBomb, it's people like you, not "anime loving idiots".

"Yeah seriously. No more endurance run quotes. They aren't clever, witty, or funny in any way. "
I looooove balls!
Come on, lighten up people. Persona 4 isn't really my kind of game either, but the Endurance Run is actually pretty fun to watch and it's good that giantbomb is focusing on a diverse array of games, from the extremely western to the extremely Japanese.
Maybe GiantBomb isn't for you." @Lights_Up_The_Shaft: Thats not the point im commenting on the sheer amount of content to do with the endurance run on this site now .By making the endurance run content so numerous i am forced into experiancing part of ginatbomb that i do not wish to be appart of "
The endurance run is not all about Persona 4, they also did the Matrix Online, and some other game that was set in the same universe as the Persona series was.
I've learned to never read the comments.
The endurance run is actually pretty cool if you just ignore the ones that beat it to death :D
@Asurastrike: Sorry i still like this site . However you seem to belong in the area of giantbomb that i despise .
"I don't even watch the Endurance Run, you just annoy me.

Think of Giant Bomb as the internet. They both have a LOT of content and nobody's force feeding every last ounce of it to you. Take what you like and leave what you don't.
Also, nobody is as bad as idiots who quote Napolean Dynamite.

Not only that, but I hope that when they finally finish it (if that EVER happens) they'll move on to something else awesome to play through.

About 70% including this thread on the forum are about the endurance run in some way .Yeah... not even close.
And, I don't watch the Endurance Run. Not a JRPG fan.
" @turbomonkey138: So don't watch the Endurance Run or participate in discussions about it. What's next, you're going to dictate what games people should play or discuss or that the QOTW and Mailbag must cease to exist because they're not explicitly related to a particular game? I haven't really watched the endurance runs either, though I plan to someday, but it hasn't gotten my panties in a twist and I have not found that all of the discussions are related to it. Hell, I don't particularly care for anime, but I don't bleat like a molested sheep every time a thread is filled with people who have stupid anime character avatars. Think of Giant Bomb as the internet. They both have a LOT of content and nobody's force feeding every last ounce of it to you. Take what you like and leave what you don't. "
This.
As a person who visits the site regularly, and has been with Giant Bomb since the site launched, I have to say that the Endurance Run is EXCELLENT.
1. Jeff and Vinny are awesome, and their commentary is hilarious
2. It brought a lot of traffic to GB
3. It's spread the word about Persona 4
4. They're still making other awesome content on the site, so that's not a problem
5. It's something very unique about GB, and it helps further differentiate it from the other sites out there.
" @DanielJW: Im not angry . Just disappointed in a way . "Well with what? I mean you can argue they could make other content, but that's your opinion. If they made other content, than different people wouldn't be happy with the content you like, am I right?

I'm not forcing you into the Persona 4 forum. If you see a Endurance Run related thread you don't have to click it. The only references to the ER is the Persona 4 forum and the odd thread in General or Off-Topic.
" @Asurastrike: Ok you have made you point now go please . This thread is discussing the problems i have with giantbomb and you are not helping the case for giantbomb right now . "Also, this should have been a blog. XD

" don't know why i posted this . I forgot how annoying most of the users are on this forum now . I'm getting tired of the internet these days "I heard Gamespot has a great forum community, and they don't do Endurance run. You should check that place out.
Persona used to be cool until it became fashionable with the kids around here. Now every dweeb, dork and nerd likes it because they think it is cool and they might get noticed by posting about it.
I am just going to play my copies of Persona 3 & 4, but keep it to myself. I haven't watched a single ER or read a single thread, so as not to risk my enjoyment of the series.
