The endurance run sucks, the fact that they're all doing it also is just pointless. Surely theres other things that the guys could be doing instead of these pointless endurance runs such as video reviews/ features/ quicklooks etc..
If I wanted to watch someone play a crap game and have a laugh at the same time.. I would go around to a mates and watch him play FF13.. at least I can interact with the banter.
 
So yea, fuck Deadly premonition or whatever it's called and lets have some better website content :D

I watched one of these ER... and I'd never watch another let alone the ton of them they have for Persona. I don't see the point...

Video reviews are pretty pointless when preceded by a Quick Look, which anything that gets a VR is. Watch the Quick Look and read the review, don't whine at them for not making something completely redundant.

I kinda agree on this note, but I don't think the endurance run is a bad thing.

Seems to me that the content on the site has not been hurt by the Endurance Run.  We are getting Quick Looks and other stuff just as much as always plus they added the Thursday Night Throwdown.  If you don't enjoy the Deadly Premonition Endurance Run then I've got a tip for you. . . don't watch it.  There.  Problem solved.

Very nice... LOL, attack my credibility just because I state something that I don't like and you probibly like. You basically have misrepresented what I wrote by only showing a part of my original post which is pathetic.
As I stated, to ME I dont like the endurance run, I like everything else... since the endurance run theres been a real slowdown in everthing else.. so can we just stop doing a DOUBLE???  endurnace run and maybe just have one or summat.. then maybe things would pick up again?

Then don't watch it? What's the big deal, it's not like quick looks or interviews have slowed down at all, in fact, I think the last couple weeks we've seen like 8-9 quicklooks.

what exactly is this slowdown that people claim there is (people that dont like or want the ER that is)? Is this about video reviews again? Go to gametrailers if you like video reviews so much, I bet that even without a ER they wouldnt do many (if any) video reviews, as they have stated countless times they are a bitch to produce

why so interesting, the ER is the biggest, if not the main, attraction to the site. why would people, such as yourself, not like it?

'Cos everybody is here to make content specifically for you right? gtfo. 
 
Don't like it, sure voice some protest, but seriously, it's a unique video feature that you cannot find on many other sites, if I wanted video reviews or crap like that i'd be going to other sites (in fact, there is nothing to stop you going elsewhere for 'better' content...) 
 
So w/e.

Its just really fcin pointless to be honest. I love the banter between the guys at giant bomb and their other video's. 2 endurance runs of a game that they worked out was crap at video 1.. just seems pointless.

What a jumped up little prick you are. Better content if you read the statement in context with my original post is basically everything else that the giant bomb staff have done for the years that I have been coming to this site. I didn't mind one endurance run.. but 2 of them is pointless.

The game isn't crap, the Endurance Runs aren't crap, you aren't forced to watch them and the site has just as much if not more content than ever... I've watched every episode and love the banter between the guys just like in everything else they make.  Sounds more like a personal problem you have with the specific game choice, a problem many others don't have... I guess you'll just have to hope they play something you like more for the next ER.

@armaan8014: I'm all up for a bit of banter and a bit of gaming... it would probibly be easier for me to watch one playthough if the game was any better.. but I can't watch a crap game with banter that I cant interact with that basically revolves around taking the piss out of the crap game. 
I'm sure some people like endurance runs, that's awesome but for me... no thanks.

So remind me...what exactly, in this rather slow release period since the DP ER began, did the GB staff stop doing that they used to do?

Because I got nothing.
