Wow. So sick of GB's 'funny' comments when there is news for this game. Hey GB I liked the first one, so did 7 million people! From now on I will make sure to tell my friends about this website in thus manner:

Giant Bomb: Watch fat guys be sarcastic while playing video games and maybe even akwardly invite nintendo's hired models for a drink even though they are clearly not interested. I guess it's only a manner of time before Pat posts a 'news story' about the next skyrim patch! OMG SO COOL WHAT AN ADVANCED WEBSITE FOR THE VIDEO GAME ELITE.

Really,i get that you all are depressed for amounting to nearly nothing in the 40 years you have walked the earth but having a posative attitude goes along way.

And Dear patrick kleppick. Skyrim's patch is NOT news. It is a bug fix patch. they happen for games all the time why is it a big deal when Skyrim does it? If you must report on a patch atleast report on idk WoW where 10 million people suddenly have the ability to do tons of new shit? Not skyrim fixting a weird texture bug for 5% of the player base. And for some reason you stopped playing it anxiously awaiting the patch? Its a freaking texture bug? You can't play with the textures messing up? You couldn't uninstall it from the harddrive and play it that way?? How stupid are you people?

@pplus0440:

Well, intern Perry wrote the blurb on the video and all FFXIII-2 videos and Patrick wrote the only news story about FFXIII-2 on GB and it was not snarky or negative, but informative and interesting...so...umad.

@pplus0440: 1. 7 million sales does not mean 7 million people liked it.

2. Don't be an asshole.

3. When a game is as buggy as Skyrim, patches being available is news. At least it is to people interested in if the version of Skyrim they are playing will become less buggy.

This video is deceptive. If they want even the slightest chance that I pick up this game they need to say one thing, which they didn't in this video: TOWNS WITH NPCS AND ACTUAL SHOPS.

Why MUST they do the same thing over and over? Why must you have THAT specific game mechanic[s] in order to enjoy a game?

Do you say to yourself? : "Well the graphics, over-all story and battle systems were great and fun, but geez, without some NPCs saying [...] and some shops to sell trash to, I just can't get into it"

I quite liked 13, I felt the characters well realized for the most part. But the two protagonists in this one.. well lets just say they look like hollow JRPG cliche's to me so far.

The amount of anime melodrama in a trailer is inversely proportional to how much I care about the game. So well done, whoever produced this!

@MooseyMcMan: It's not news. WoW is still the most popular game on this site. Yet, no news story on 4.3? That added the the deathwing fight? There were probably 4-5 stories about a bug fix for skyrim. It's a bit silly.

I like the music but that's about the only nice thing I have to say.
