Quick Look: Sniper Elite III

I am pretty shocked Jeff has never seen this!

I wonder if the PC version has mod support.

Dan sounds like Danny O'Dwyer but less Irish.

Super stoked for the new team dynamics!

Africa? WWII?

Hoooly hell :D

I think Drew was the one who thought the Finns fought the Nazis in WW2, so hey.

I don't understand how anyone can't figure out what war a game is set in just from the clothing and weaponry, but the Africa stuff, good gravy.

I like this. But why is he asking if he plays on XBox ONE, when Jeff sits next to him with the controller and PS4 Button Prompts on Screen that second?

Edit: Throwing Dynamite and shoot is is a mechanic in "Call of Juarez Gunslinger ".

so excited, this is the start of something new :-)

@rpwll: Was wondering if anyone else picked up on that.

This game is that stupid kind of dumb which I might enjoy. Also congratulations on your first QL Dan, awesome to have you aboard.

One of my favourite past times in Dragon's Dogma was throwing people off of cliffs.

Good QL and welcome Dan

Drew's 'Oh my God!' coming from the background already made me this video for me. Dan fits in well and works well with Jeff. Great Quick Look!

That's some pretty serious motion blur when you turn.

@spitznock: you can turn that off on the PC version at least.

I already miss Vinny.

Maybe they all just have too much alternative game WWII history in their heads that clouds the actual history they know.

I played a little of this game and got bored pretty quick, while the mechanics of the game are really cool, I found the story dull and non engaging. It felt more like a proof of concept or demo for the x ray physics.

Gosh, whatever noise came over voice when you threw that rock should play every time you throw a rock in this game. Also, the multiplayer in these games do have a small following, as no other games really have 90% sniper focused multiplayer.

Well, that sure was hilarious near the end

I like Quick Looks. I like Jeff. I like Dan. I like Dan and Jeff Quick Looks! Yay!

After what has happened in the past few days, it's a fucking pleasure to have @danryckert as a GB editor.

LOL War in Africa.

Very good.

This quick look made my head hurt

I've probably listened to 100's of hours of both of the guys (more Jeff bombcast lol) now they are together. This is weird but awesome! If they hire Greg Miller and Brian Altano I won't have to watch any IGN anymore HA. Go Giant Bomb!!

Decent QL. Wish they played some more of the campaign. The lack of knowledge when it comes to recent history is frightening.

@robatw: They do QLs in a completely darkened room normally.

Yeah, I think hiring Dan was the right call! He fills the Vinny and Ryan void of being a guy with really lewd humor that Jeff can joke around with, so this might very well be the new best quick look pair. :)

Hilarious QL! Welcome Dan! <3

Couldn't sleep after yesterday, glad I get to watch this. When they started talking about if WW2 was in Africa I was like "COME ON DREW SAY SOMETHING!"

"Does it do the slow-mo x-ray if you shoot the corpse?"

Well I'm sold.

Super hyped about Dan being here. Seems like a great fit for Giant Bomb.

Dan really got the most out of his minor in college.

Dan dealing with buttz?

It's like nothing's changed.

Alright, Dan Ryckert liked Stranglehold.

The main character in this game doesn't speak too much but when he does, his voice sounds like Michael Ironside.

I saw a handy cam video of Scorpion? It may have been Sub Zero's fatality from MKX man what if they licensed whatever it is that coverns their dismeberment to Sniper Elite?

"look at his butt, go for his butt" ....Welcome to Giant Bomb, Dan.

Also I love the reload sound of the M1 Garand. Because its impossible to mistake it for any other gun.

Funny quick look. Jeff and Dan makes a great team.

Welcome to Giant Bomb, Dan!

One of the best Quick Looks in a while. Looking forward to the next six months of Quick Looks, now.

I have a lot of rockz in zeez shorts

Finns did fight Germans in 1944-1945 in Lapland because of the Moscow Armistice.

But yeah, holy hell that whole Africa bit made me lose just a bit more faith in the US.

Dan's alma mater should have its accreditation revoked.

@reelife: I was a film major and have never seen that movie.

Drew you were right to say "Oh my god" to that. Shame on you Jeff and Dan for not knowing Africa was a center point for the Second World War. :D

Loved Drew's 'oh my god'

<3

I fine Icebreaker (or Is that nutbreaker?) for Dan's first Quick Look.

I don't think I have ever heard Dan before (besides the last podcast). After this quicklook, i'm excited to have him on the GB team! That is one funny Duder.
