I feel a lot of what the OP is feeling, and like a lot of other commenters I've moved to Nextlander and Waypoint for a lot of my 'watching people play video games' content.

GB was the one place I went for 99% of video game news and content for about a decade and I'm sad that that's no longer the case. I hope that's okay with people on here.

Minor issues, I think mostly software but a little bit of hardware. Not enough to send it in. The recent firmwares have helped too.

I don't even understand how anyone could not have a backlog at this point. Even just with Game Pass there are about a dozen games at any one time I want to check out but haven't yet. That's not even mentioning Steam, PS Store, etc.

I'm just going to echo what a lot of people have been saying on here: I've been here since 2011 and GB has always been one of my main sources of both information about video games and entertainment in watching the crew play those games. I don't feel like I'm getting much of that anymore. There's a lot of games the guys have mentioned on the Bombcast for which there is no video on the site that I'm aware of. I'm not interested in the non-gaming shows that have filled the gap. That's not a knock on any of those new shows, I'm sure they're cool and people worked hard on them, it just isn't for me.

I'm going to Twitch more and more for what GB used to provide, which makes me kind of sad because I much prefer GB but it is what it is. For now, I'm keeping my sub for Borne to Run, UPF, Guilty Treasures, and the back-catalog but for the first time since I joined I've considered canceling it.

I don't think everything on the site has to be for me, I'm just hoping they get back to what they were doing with games AND have all this other stuff.

I, too, miss Quick Looks. What I'm not going to do is demand that these dudes account for every minute of their time like they're attorneys logging billable hours. I get that people in this thread care about Giant Bomb and I get that they miss the old Giant Bomb but this thread has really devolved from missing QLs into questioning the value proposition of the site for which there is, and always has been, one solution.

Gotta spend some weeks meditating to prepare myself for the return of Dan discourse on the site

Breath of the Wild is impressive from a design perspective but punishing and unfun to play

I had a bug where I couldn't fast travel or save my game, had to go to the internet to figure out how to fix it. Before that, I had an issue where I couldn't trigger the next sequence in a main story quest. I like the game a lot, but these issues are really bad.

Base PS4 here. It's certainly playable, framerate is decent even unless you're driving. It does look very blurry and low-res, encountered a few crashes but the autosaves were good each time. Load times are surprisingly okay (much better than AC:Valhalla though that game looks way better than this one) Turning off all the graphical effects makes it look slightly better. It's gonna be to each their own on whether or not you'll find it acceptable, but footage should be out there for you to look at and make your own call. The only thing I've found kind of a bummer is that I'll probably finish it on this PS4 before getting a machine that can run it far, far better.
