you're really trying to be this oh so professional, so pc, so down with the intellectual shit.. mr. big man journalist. but these, these are just ruining the quality of this once fine website.
I'm happy to hear how any of these additions to Giant Bomb are impacting the overall quality of the website, and I'm not being sarcastic whatsoever. If you have an actual grievance, feel fee to PM me with details. No one is forcing you to read every article on this website, and part of what I'm trying to do is expand the editorial coverage of the site overall.
Fuck that, Klepek for president.
F***in' A right, man. I love reading these meaningful pieces on here. Though some of the articles on here may not relate directly to what could be considered news, I think it's only enriching this site to have things like this. The articles regarding L.A. Noire and people who have problems with social interactions (can't remember the name of the disorder)? Amazing. Some of my favorite stuff on here. This kind of comment is exactly what the article is talking about. You don't agree, so it must be wrong.
Frankly, I agree completely with both the criticisms AND the accolades surrounding this series. I find it ridiculously frustrating that the developers expect you to make a timing-critical jump that comes at you with zero notice due to a cinematic camera angle. As someone who plays a ton of games, I can say that it's generally my own fault that I die, not the camera angles fault. I'd rather be able to actually play the game and know what's coming my way rather than have a really cool shot that kills me off repeatedly because I couldn't see what was about to be right in front of me.
By that same coin, I love the cinematic shots in these games. I am consistently wowed by the 'playable cinematics' that they offer. The action, angles, & locations are on par with or better than any movie I have ever watched. As long as the camera doesn't get in the way of the playability, I love it.
These articles exist here so that we can get a sense of the industry, not just what the industry is putting out. You want a site that consists of game news written by monkeys? Look on IGN. They'll let you know every tiny step of the development of every game on the market. You want a site that consists of meaningful articles as well as game news? Then come to Giant Bomb. You'll get a hint of what's going on in the gaming industry.
Keep up the great work, guys.
And Oracle? Go follow some Lemmings. I hear they keep massive treasure hoards. If you're lucky, they'll lead you to one.
