Imo a terrible game. The BL in general haven't aged well. While the shooting feels good, the pacing, dialogue, level design all just so boring. I just can't see a reason to play it over the many similar options out there.
I mostly consume the audio stuff. I really wish we heard more from Dan, Lucy, Tam, Rorie. I think the Bombcast is a lot worse, and the rotating cast is a bit frustrating for me. That said, I'm stoked the QLs are back with frequency, as they're basically the only video content I consume. I hope that when they chat about next steps for Premium we hear more.
Eh, I don't think it's a big deal. Like if they're on everything, it's almost like they're on nothing. They probably aren't restricting the editorial team from speaking their minds. That said, Giant Bomb has been legit editorial for years now - it's an entertainment product.
I would say Origins by a pretty big margin. Bayek is just so good, and the content felt more meaningful. Like all of the side quests have a really nice little self-contained story, the world feels pretty alive (I think in part because there are large swathes of it with nothing happening, it feels real). Odyssey felt like the crossed the line into being a massive checklist.
Giant Bomb has been a huge part of my life for like 10 years and I'm so grateful Jeff made it what it was. I am sad, but I also know we're gonna hear Jeff talk about games somewhere or other. And honestly, the new cast is sick.
