@posh: Well, are those so called "misogynists" complaining about Patrick or disagreeing with what was said in that article I won't mention?

There needs to be a distinction - I love having Patrick on the staff, because he writes about issues he feels are important. And it's what this site is based on - the staff are all personalities, and they talk about what's important for them.

That's why I don't understand the blind bashing at near-mention of Patrick's name.

However, it's completely valid to disagree with their viewpoint, and discuss why you think their ideas are flawed, in the appropriate places, like comments. I didn't like people bashing Patrick for writing that one article, but I also didn't understand the blind vitriol of people directed at anyone expressing dissenting ideas.

Don't mix those two groups together. Patrick is great. But you don't have to agree with him all the time :)

@dr_mantas: It's a sad state of affairs that what was one of the more mature video game orientated communities (especially compared to another larger website) has been mired into bitching about staff rather than provoking thoughtful commentary on the games themselves. It's also ridiculous that people ask why Patrick was doing this when the guys clearly stated what they had planned for the week on the Monday video segment! for example stating he was in meetings all week and Patrick being the one who mentioned about Swery being in the area.

While it'd be awesome if old names from the past like Matt, Carrie and Rich were involved with the website, it seems they forget that it's not a home-made youtube channel, it's a business, and they have to justify people being on staff for more reason then just being a personal friend! Not to mention I'm pretty sure Rich and Carrie both left journalism and went into game development of their own accord!

As Jeff's home videos are behind the paywall and it's a fine balancing act of coming across as pompous and turning away advertisement clicks, it'd still be an idea for Jeff and Ryan to address this issue and in-turn perhaps convince some people to sort their behaviour out!

I'm not sure if anybody's really that desperate to go through 11 pages of comments to find a transcription, but here's what I came up with anyway. Fixed some of the grammer out of habit, but most of it should be word for word.

Answer 1: After the release of the original version of Deadly Premonition only for Xbox 360, but it was a pity that he couldn't bring this fantastic game to the PS3 owners. So this time he had a chance from the producer to bring this game to the PS3 owners so he was so happy to have such a chance.

Answer 2: First of all, he didn't want to make a big change from the original version, but after the release of the 360 version, he received feedback from the western market, some of them were very positive from the core fronts, some of them had kind've negative comments because the graphics were not so good or some things like that. So first off, he wanted to improve on those points and he decided to bring out this director's cut. He decided to fix the controls because so many fans were complaining about it, so he decided after listening to the voices from the fans.

Answer 3: Also he decided to add this new scenario. In this new scenario, he brought a completely new character. But he didn't want to destroy the main story, the main original gameplay, so he decided to add the new story as a lot of new cutscenes, so he decided to insert the new cutscenes throughout the games. For those core fans who played the original version, they will be able to get a kind of new translation (interpretation?) after they watch the new scenarios because he added a new ending as well.

Answer 4: It's correct to be cross to the fans because sometimes he can't recognize what is good or what is bad. He received comments like "I don't like the QTEs in premonition," this time he decided to fix those QTE scenes so that the player can much more easily clear this game.

Answer 5: Of course he's thinking of various things, maybe getting back to the CKers (seekers?) or something, and jumping into the new titles, but at the moment he feels as though everyone is pushing him to bring York to the next game. Yes, he's enthusiastic to come back to the Deadly Premonition world, but he'd like to get a chance to do that.

Answer 6: There are so many fans who is loving Deadly Premonition, some of them saying "please don't change anything, even if it was very bad like some kind of control or graphics, because it is kind of a charming point of Deadly Premonition." And of course he is so pleased to hear such kind of comment as well, but it's been two years now, he's kind've grown, and is now thinking that he has to change or improve this Deadly Premonition. Some of the fans may complain about it, but he's the director and it's his game as well. (Second half of that sentence may be wildly inaccurate.) Trust me.

Answer 7: He had so many issues during the development. This game was going to be cancelled four times. But after those troubles, he finally reached to the release date. He can remember the day this game came out; that was so impressive day. He's saying so.

Closing statement: This game will be available in the last week of April in North America. Thank you.

I am not a huge fan of Deadly Premonition, by I am a huge fan of this man. I can always respect a developer that really loves what he is doing and SWERY always puts out that feeling.

This is well done, a little shorter than I would like, but good nonetheless. Having translation coming in one ear and the original language the other seems pretty tough.

The question isn't if I will buy DP on the PS3. The question is. How many copies I will buy.

Edit: Maybe because I've lived abroad for so many years. But I had no problem understanding the translator.

This makes me sad that Jeff had to come in here and say this. I hope all the people whining like 5 years old are embarrassed that Jeff had to scold you like children. Have some class, I come to GB to get away from all the whining 13 year olds acting like entitled pieces of shit. Patrick is cool and brings a fresh look to a lot of aspects of GB and if you simple minded idiots can not deal with change get out and go to Kotaku and pollute their site. Ugh, I am done my food is getting cold.

Dope! Swery seems like such an interesting and humble guy, and I'm happy to see someone like him making videogames. I also think its nice that this isnt just a patch/DLC because it leaves players who enjoyed the charm of the first DP to keep playing that game and then this new version can bring in the crowd who didn't get into it the first time around.

As a Japanese translator and occasional interpreter myself, simultaneous input and output is a desirable and often necessary skill depending on the setting. It was probably a little overboard for such a casual interview like this, but in business meetings and conferences where timing is of the essence and stopping to do interpretation every sentence or so would take up too much time, it's basically a must. I haven't yet been hired to do that sort of gig myself yet, but I always admire guys who can do it, even if the output is a bit grammatically wishy-washy like it was here.

actually i think 'most' people would rather see the people that complain about patrick on every single thread just fuck off. he is not going ANYWHERE.

i saw a live feed recently and the comments that people were posting about patrick were just nasty and spiteful and the kind of comments i would of expected to of heard on a school playground.

Hey, I'm not saying I understand it, I'm just saying where there's smoke, there's fire. Guy is massively disliked.

Hey is it possible to block a person on the site? Or ignore them or something? Just curious.

No, but I've been requesting it for years. If this site had a block list, it would be a hundred times more usable. Then we could finally just block the fucking insufferable man-children that complain about everything, and have actual discussions. Then again, mods could actually do something about it, other than just make idle threats.

Gameplay wise sure, but the characters and dialog were great in my opinion. Sure the awkwardness of it all added to that in an unintentional way, but I can safely say i've played a lot worse.

People praised Nier for having great characters and dialog but that game looked and played like crap. (the art design and music were great though) Point being you can overlook a lot of flaws if something (game, movie, whatever) excels in a certain area.

I'm not sure anything was said here that wasn't already known from the announcement press release. The only reason to watch this, for me, would've been to get SWERY's feelings straight from the horse's mouth... and that was completely ruined by dubbing him:(

I used to remember when the comments sections were about the games they were referencing, not the staff reporting on them, its getting really boring to read now. Just stop defending or slating Patrick, how about we talk about Deadly Premonition and Swery or is that too much for some of the small minded people who comment on Giantbomb these days?

I rarely comment or do much on Giant Bomb other than consume content, so let me be part of the silent majority and say: Patrick is great. I respect the hell out of him as a journalist; you don't work for most of the big sites and then transfer over to Giant Bomb unless you absolutely love this medium. I think he has consistently interesting things to say on podcasts and in videos, and I've loved his previous work for 1UP and G4.

And he has cool shoes.

He may feel like "the new guy" or the "annoying hipster" to some of you, but despite his age and your biases based on his appearance, there are many, many good reasons why he was hired by Giant Bomb and why he isn't going anywhere. If you really do respect and admire the rest of the staff, why question their judgment?

Now where the fuck is the next Jurassic Lark video?!

SWERY is so crazy, he speaks in the third-person.

Shame they couldn't get Jeff Kramer to dub over Swery like that one podcast interview did. Only in my dreams...

I totally agree with you.
