Honestly, I think this game is the epitome of how I'm just not really in sync with the Bombers anymore.
They spent a lot of time talking about this game last year for GOTY awards and managed to argue some really good games off the list to make room and then used this room to put Destiny 2 on the list.
And then Bungie's next update to the game turned everyone off. And all that happened not only by the end of the year, but before the GOTY recordings even were released.
And now, a year later, they're falling for this game again.
I'm not saying they're wrong. Everything is a matter of opinion. But I just don't feel like their opinions have much to do with mine anymore. They seem very much interested in games which allow the entire bomb crew (East and West) to play together. And I do see how that's fun for them. But it's not something I value at all. I don't have an 8 person crew split across the country that I'm really thrilled about getting together.
And (this is more brad-specific) I certainly have no interest in DOTA.
Again, I'm not saying they're wrong. But it's getting so it's really hard to go anything by what the Bomb crew says and reach a conclusion about whether I'll feel the same way about the game.
The animations don't look right. And there's just nothing in this trailer. Can't tell anything about gameplay at all. And if it's not in-game (likely it isn't) we don't know anything at all.
I'm glad someone's going to try it but there's just nothing to see from this.
I enjoyed the review and I do enjoy that the site still offers reviews.
Jeff asked before if they should stop doing reviews and I just want to say again I don't think they should. This site has more to offer than just "let's plays" and this shows how.
Please keep with the reviews.
I still miss Scoops' contributions too, I'd love if it GB covered even some more news. But I do understand that the current staff simply isn't geared in that direction so it just won't happen.
