MGS V for me. Bored me to tears and the story was barely there. I finished the main game, and when they revealed Chapter 2, I just gave up and looked it up on YouTube.
Three OGs left to do the exact same thing. Not a good look, something feels off about the state of Giant Bomb. Vinny says that Red Ventures is good for Giant Bomb and it was simply time to move on. And they moved on to… record podcasts and stream games. Plus in Nextlander ep. 0, Brad alluded to how they were under pressure by suits.
If GB come through with Nu Bomb and the site goes on, it will be in name only. That said I’m not sure they know what they are doing ultimately and are just slumming it as they go. It’s been over a month now since Nextlander duders left. We’ve not had any concrete information, even though it was promised weeks ago. Only had little tiny tidbits of information hidden in videos that require the forum users and Reddit to dig through. All the information we got in the last month comes down to the fact that they are apparently talking to “content creators”. Who, what, how, where? As a paying premium member, this is quite frustrating. Red Ventures should be offering refunds, this is not what most people signed up for.
Even without Jeff and only one day in, Nextlander feels more like Giant Bomb than Giant Bomb. One is a group of buddies hanging out, talking about games, shop and whatever, the other is a burning mess.
