YO OBAMA HIT THAT BIG ASS RAMP.

lol, I wish that quick look was still up.

Same :<

Wait... when did that QL disappear?!

It's been gone for about a year now I think. It's a shame, that 50 Cent: BOTS quick look had so many good moments in it.

Man was there an explanation? I don't remember this at all :(

Nope, I can't remember an explanation for it. Maybe they were asked to take it down? Can't say for sure.

Not sure if serious or trolling about there ever being a 50 cent QL

Nope, I remember it. Jeff was talking about how it was a competent cover based shooter, commenting on the cash bonuses and the soundtrack. They started going through a enemy hideout, changing chapters to a desert fort where 50 Cent blew up a helicopter and then it ended with 50 Cent jumping over that big ass ramp.

Does nobody else remember this!?

That's were all the in jokes are from. Where the rest of the crew yell out "Hey 50! Yo 50! Get over here 50!" and the "Hey 50, hit that big ass ramp!"

EDIT: I watched the video review for 50 Cent: BOTS and all those sayings are in there. Gosh.... I don't think I imagining this!

What if i told you, that there was no 50 Cent Quick Look?

I think the people who are talking about the 50 Cent QL are referencing a Bombcast because I also remember those lines and I'm pretty sure it's from a Bombcast.

FYI, these are the same people making Dead Island. Now would be the time to care about more than "lol zombies!!"

As for the Obama mask: has anyone seen a movie called Point Break
 
Eddie Guerra? A little too obvious?
 
The only McCall is Robert McCall.
 
This game sucks...

I understand it's awful, but somehow this quicklook has made me more interested in this game.

this made me want to go play Call of Duty, so i'll let that speak for itself. though, it's a bit of a disappointment to see what this game has become especially considering all the good things i've heard about the previous games in the series. there's some neat ideas in this game, but.. nothing looks that much fun to play.. or at least alone. it seems like it would be kind of fun to play with friends on a rental or something, but the control issue seems like a bit much. the messed up control in Killzone 2 made me enjoy it far less than i should have.

The fact that one of the positives of the game is being able to drop out smoothly is kind of a bummer.

Wow, I liked Bound in Blood, but this just looks fucking awful. It's just a weird hodgepodge of terribly executed ideas, bad voice acting, constant annoying phone calls, just...I don't know. And those subtitles, how are they completely different from the dialog like that? That usually bothers me a little bit, but this is the worst offender I've ever seen. And that font! Just awful.

Why did you do this to Call of Juarez, Techland? This certainly dashes some of my hopes about Dead Island being any good, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

One of the greatest 2 star games I've ever witnessed. Also the buddy system in Uncharted 3 is persistent across all modes minus FFA.

The voice acting is so terrible. The main guy's especially the worst since it's like he's talking through gritted teeth the entire time.

There's a lot of really interesting ideas in this game, but ho-lee shit there's a lot of problems as well. Losing levels by replaying chapters? Weird floaty controls? Obama masks? Other players being able to skip cutscenes?
 
The main guy's voice actor is doing a pretty hilarious Jack Nicholson impression, though!

There was never a 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand quick look. Someone conjured that up from memories of video reviews and bombcasts.

I never played the first two games, but they at least seemed competent. This looks like the team just gave up and decided to slap a budget price on it.

After complaining on the dark TV for about a billion quicklooks you would think someone at giantbomb would get the bright idea to calibrate the picture? no?

Also your quicklookvideos is generally a bit dark so maybe its not only the TV that needs calibrating but the entire setup you guys have.

Awesome ideas (way more so than 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand) but with terrible execution. Looks like the aiming expects a mouse to be used, and it all looks like it handles poorly. The phone shit was awful, popping up while people were fighting. And the subtitles? What the hell. The interior gameplay spaces look really poorly designed. Just dull and boring. The exteriors look pretty good though, I liked the look of it all. Not super technically impressive or anything, but it looked like there had been effort.

The main character's voice sounds EXACTLY like Mr. Morooka from Persona 4. I wonder if it's the same dude?
