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 !

Thing is, the Endurance Run has undoubtedly caused raises in traffic, and probably by pretty significant amounts.

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.

Persona 4 is a fan-triple-tastic game that deserves the attention it's getting. The fact that Giant Bomb has been recognizing this game and spreading it to the whole community is awesome.

Yeah seriously. No more endurance run quotes. They aren't clever, witty, or funny in any way.

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.
 
But you are right. There is nothing on GiantBomb but Endurance run. They might as well rename the site to GiantEnduranceRun.com

"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.

I don't get why you have an negative opinion on someone who likes something about Giant Bomb because you like another part of Giant Bomb. You can like a game and each person can like a game in different parts but they overall they all still like that game.

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".

Seeing as it was the most popular thing on the site since it started really and gave them way more traffic, obviously there is a good amount of people that disagree. No one is making you watch it, nor post in threads about it. So.....get the fuck over it.

Pretty sure he is just reffering to the threads that are nothing more than posting favorite Persona quotes and things such as that.

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.

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 think it's awesome. I've only watched five episodes, but I'm smart enough to notice an Endurance Run quote when I see one. Good for Giant Bomb. Quick Looks and behind the scenes stuff are my favorite.

@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.
 
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. For those who don't like it (which may or may not be me -- we'll have to see)... well... there's plenty of balloon fetish porn out there to entertain them.

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.

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?

Were not forcing you to read every thread on the Endurance Run. 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.

I heard Gamespot has a great forum community, and they don't do Endurance run. You should check that place out.

Before this thread turns into a flame war . Lets get back on my original point . Giantbomb (IN MY OPINION) has too much Persona 4 related content . This is mainly apparent in the forums . Dont get angry at me becuase i pointed out something negative about the site.

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.
