Yes, the Quicklook was boring. As are all Quicklooks with Jeff and Ryan (or Jeff and Brad) when Jeff doesn't like a game. He get's that whiny sigh-voice, he stays in the menus for 10 minutes to really make things dull, and he generally acts like sniveling little child. When asked what he doesn't like he says things like "(sigh) I don't know... (sigh) it's just bad." Then repeats that sentiment in myriad forms for the next 20 to 40 minutes. And for some reason, Ryan and Brad are very susceptible to getting sucked into and reinforcing his whiny spates. I can't be the only one to cringe whenever Jeff feels the need to crush Brad's enthusiasm of a game so it won't get in the way of whatever cynical bitchfest Jeff wants to go on about.
Remember that story time Quicklook? Remember how unimaginable dull that "game" was yet how fucking hilarious the Quicklook was? The point is, dull games do not make dull Quicklooks. The dullness comes entirely from the attitude of the presenters. Jeff and Ryan were exceedingly dull in the Brink Quicklook. I'm not arguing that brink is a good game or a bad game, but please let's not confuse the quality of the Quicklook with the game. Quicklooks are a product of Giantbomb and when they are dull, it is the fault of Giantbomb, not Bethesda or Splash Damage.
