@Winternet: I guess so, but that's not a bad thing. The staff should know how their community feels...we wouldn't be here if it weren't for them and vice versa, so it makes sense that these threads exist and hopefully if they get enough attention, the staff will take notice.
I tend to agree with the OP's overall sentiment, but not necessarily with his specific points. I feel like this site has lost a fair amount of soul, and I find myself disappointed by their content these days more often than I used to be. This could be for any number of reasons- the shift in parent companies, events in the personal lives of all the staff members, a console cycle that is lasting long enough to cause a dearth of interesting new concepts, and you could even say that the current economy is forcing companies to play it safe which ends up making games less interesting in general. The indie space is always expanding, but indie games generally focus on a single interesting mechanic as much as possible, which does not necessarily make for highly entertaining QL's.
The resulting feel of the site is one that isn't completely able to deliver to the audience it has grown to draw. I've been a frequent user for about five years now, and I miss the devil-may-care attitude that the staff used to have towards the content they put out. I think a vast majority of GB users come here for entertainment first, and video game information second, partly because one of the overall messages GB broadcasts is that video games are silly and at the end of the day you buy what you want; what matters is whether or not you find a particular game or concept attractive. Sure, innovation and original ideas are important, but I don't think the GB staff operate on an empirical "bad game to good game" scale, which is why their reviews kind of baffle me and I rarely read them. I always appreciated Quick Looks because they gave me a chance to see what a game looked like when normal people with a sense of humor and criticism were playing, as opposed to a demo or staged footage from developers. These days, with the exception of the Bombcast, I feel like GB sort of takes itself a bit too seriously. To be honest, I don't care what the staff thinks of a game, I care about how they can inform me about what I will think of a game, which is why I am very excited about the concept of the Encyclopedia Bombastica. It's a great and unique idea that would set GB apart again and give the guys a chance to just have fun and show us what the gaming world has to offer. They should stop worrying about reviews and informative feature pieces, because those are all things that can be discussed during a Bombcast, and focus more on putting out funny stuff that they are genuinely interested in.
I visit GB for the same reason I watch a sitcom (I like the characters and I like the premise), not because I want to spend hours reading articles that are trying to challenge my ethical views about video games...that stuff gets old, fast. Day-one DLC is fine because funds were specifically allocated towards creating it, ergo it should cost money; sexism is wrong; good people can make bad games. The list goes on. I get it. It's not complicated stuff. Now get drunk and film yourselves playing some video games for me.
