Unfinished: Gang Beasts 09/03/2014

Well that quick look delivered.

also isn't. "you've killed us" a quote from The hunt for red October? I would expect nothing less from Drew.

I often put these on in the background while doing something else.

This is one of the few games I can't do that, it just grabs my attention and suddenly a half hour has passed.

Poor Drew :(

This was fun :D .

I'm really excited to see what kinda new dumb shit makes it into gang beasts now that they've got double fine helping them out.

Bear = OP

#banthebear

This game needs a DannyB soundtrack. Some heavy riffs to beat the crap out of each other to.

you sound like a real cool dude

I really need this to come out on PS4 at some point. Looks like the perfect couch multiplayer game.

Oh Drew :(

"I don't know what a powerbomb is. You think I give a shit?"

And with that, Brad Shoemaker is redeemed.

"Took you with me, BITCH!"

Pretty amazing what you can do with lighting, this looks ever so slightly better than the earlier versions.

And I'm super glad they're sticking with the basic clay models for the most part. I think adding too much detail would get in the way of the absurd humor (though the costumes are a fantastic compromise).

Only ever played this once after work with a bunch of awesome colleagues... it was the best couch multiplayer experience of my life, this game is really, really special.

Just watching it played has me cramping up. Its beautiful in its stupidity!

Brad is Gang Beasts.

@brad was robbed!

TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT!

Also shocked there was nary a mention of the Barbershop Window in that stage with the breakable glass windows.

"@danryckert tried to dive through that window to escape! What an act of cowardism!"

Oh Gang Beasts, you so crazy.

I loved Brad climbing to the top of the grinder and getting disqualified.

@fobwashed If ever a Quick Look deserved GIFs , it's this one.

This game is always so entertaining, glad Dan loved it!

This makes me infinitely more curious about what the game was originally supposed to look like. Perhaps they'll still get there some day, while still leaving all of this stuff in there.

I'm glad these small games being built into full releases are expanding in the right ways. This, Lethal League, hopefully Crawl... they're keeping their cores intact and losing none of their charm.

And who can forget John Fashanu's incredibly annoying AWOOOOOGA thing that he did? Man, that was was so dumb for all the right reasons. Wolf will always be the coolest grumpy old fucker & Jet will always be my secret crush.

They have animal suits THEY HAVE ANIMAL SUITS OH MY GOD

@gianthamish: HAMBO in the house!!

btw as a newcomer Dan pwnt the gb crew...

If you look at the old logo/title screen, it's plastered with these dudes. Pretty sure this was the original art vision. I think it was a good choice.

They gotta bring back the Wilhem scream.

Love Giant Bomb! Ryan would have loved this.

Great video. Funny as hell. But damn Dan how many "FUCK YOUs" do you have to say before it goes a little overboard?

Thanks for making me love video games again guys!

Honestly, I haven't laughed so hard at a quicklook since the Ryan Davis days. Absolutely the best quicklook in a long, long time. Well played, literally.

I must now purchase this madness for my friends and I to enjoy.

As if a Gang Beasts video could be anything less than amazing. It still blows me away at how endlessly entertaining this game is!

This needs to be played more with Dan in the mix! DAN, VINNY, JEFF and wild card, for ultimate battle!

I think I don't like the new running animation. I like the slower dumpy walk.

That music is fantastic.

@jawshua: I hope things get better for you soon, duder/duderette!

On another note, I fucking love every piece of Gang Beasts content to exist on this site.

TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT!

This game looks excellent.

This video is excellent.

Don't get me wrong I love a chicken suit as much as the next guy, but there's something to plain ol' Jelly Man Gang Beasts.

EDIT: Also, super surprised Dan got The Matrix level reference, but TOTALLY didn't click on the level that obviously references Terminator 2. It even has the music.

27:25. Truly a triumph of the human spirit.

Bradley Von Shoemaker, the Red Bearon.

The apex of local multiplayer games. Damn, I should build some compact PC, put Steam in it and stick four controllers on it and plug it into my TV.

drew is the maldonardo of gang beasts

I love watching people play this stupid, stupid game.

Brad's triumph of the human spirit is first ballot Giant Bomb Hall of Fame material. Just a perfectly funny moment.

Brad on the first round of the gondolas is fuckin classic... This game is awesome.

Fuck your self in hell - Dan Ryckert 2014

I feel like any part of that QL could be used in a 'Best of Giant Bomb' montage. Top stuff.

You can't help but root for the guy.

Of COURSE Dan is immediately great at this game.
