That was really cool when Brad had his "nightmare." Didn't RAGE have a hidden wall with an original Wolfenstein-type room?

EDIT: There's a Giant Robot in this QL! (Only on GiantRobot.com)

Well part of that is not their fault, but forced dubbing is the worst.

I'd agree if it only affected Germany, but it doesn't.

I'm Austrian myself, and our government doesn't give a toss about videogames. Almost every other game that is censored for germany gets an uncensored release in Austria and Switzerland. Bethesda were simply too lazy to make a seperate version for us.

The worst part is that there is absolutely no legal reason to region-lock uncensored versions, even in Germany.

Conversely, you are not required to watch the entire 97 minutes. If you've gotten enough out of the video before it ends, stop watching the video.

Why does Brad face-plant into anything he needs to cut with the laser..?

I would assume it would be much easier to do from a distance rather than super close up.

I don't always speak for everybody, but when I do, I say that I can't wait for new staffers so that future QLs can become entertaining and informative, and not painful to sit and watch no matter their length.

About the elevator, in-game voice and in-game text stated what to do in that situation. How many times have you seen something clearly presented in a QL ignored before and by whom at the helm?

guess brad did turn around a lot anyway, hurr hurr

seriously he may just not be susceptible to motion sickness as others are and unfortunately wasn't aware, and coupled w/ bad FOV it was bad news for some, so i don't really blame him.

kinda liking the resurgance of the straightforward FPS. this is getting some pretty positive reviews too. alas, Transistor has my heart.

@everettescott: a lot of people mention it in correlation with gaming motion sickness and i've noticed its has an effect on me too; didn't say it affects everyone.

have to admire brad's perseverance with making quick looks in spite of all the shitty comments directed at him too. i think he does a fine job myself.

George Lucas? Death's head or Totenkopf was an actual term used by different German armies, including the Nazis. Units in the SS and Panzer forces put a skull and crossbones on their uniforms.

In all seriousness, this looks pretty cool. A nice break from the COD-Battlefield-Titanfall mold one might say.

Didn't get the motion sickness, but the starting and stopping was incredibly irritating. Otherwise I was just bored out of my mind throughout the first 30 min of this ordeal and had to stop watching.

This seems pretty nice! Not $60 nice, but pretty nice.
If I was up for playing an FPS, I'm sure I could do much worse.

Definitely seems like it was made for Mouse & Keyboard, though.
I'll likely pick it up on a Steam Sale sometime in the future.

If anyone has a Giant Bomb QL drinking game you should add whenever the person playing hums a three or four note tune to themselves while playing. That and jokingly saying "Welp, that's [Game Name]" in the first 5 minutes are in every other video.

@schwartzchamp: Well, you didn't ask me, but: I don't think he's "bad at games", or at least it doesn't bother me as much as the people who seem to mention that in the comments of every QL he "drives". So I think he does a good job. Some people disagree, and that's fine.

I wasn't all that interested at first but after seeing the QL it doesn't seem at that bad, might actually pick this up now.

So this is the game which the developers recommend using a pc with a core I7-930 2.80Ghz, 4 gb of ram and a GTX 460? For what? To render forks and knifes textures in card boxes? sigh

The story and the gameplay look ok though.

Vinny told me not to spoil it! It's just a dumb throwaway joke, and I didn't see it myself anyway, only heard about it from Alex.

Enjoying this game a whole lot, but oh man, probably the first time I've become this frustrated when watching a QL, especially since I played the same segment through just hours ago. Granted, that elevator bit had me laughing, but otherwise...nnngh, c'mon Bradley!
