  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Do you ''Value'' a game less if you didn't pay for it?. on the General Discussion board

    The biggest problem with Game Pass lately is the quality of games. For the most part it isn't there. Redfall was another dud. XBOX needs Starfield to hit big. I wonder if Game Pass is having a negati...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Duders - I need Router Help!. on the General Discussion board

    You will get a hundred different opinions on this topic lol. Personally I would go for one those slick Asus ROG routers and just be done with it. I did just that and it's been the best home networkin...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic No Goodbye Montage for Jeff Gerstmann. on the General Discussion board

    With the way Jeff left compared to all other staff members, and him also being a co-founder of the site, speculation should be viewed as normal.Glad Jeff is doing well, now over 6,000 Patron's.

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Jeff launched a solo show on Patreon. on the Jeff Gerstmann board

    Signed up as well! I followed Jeff when he left GameSpot, signed up here at GB day 1, and signed up for his Patreon day 1. Jeff is a legend and I'm glad he will be continuing to talk about games publi...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Jeff Gerstmann Appreciation Thread. on the Jeff Gerstmann board

    Did anyone else notice that Jeff's first podcast was on a Tuesday, that it started before the Bombcast and that it was still going after the Bombcast ended? STILL A THREAT!Looks like Jeff is quickly a...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Welcome Back Dan Appreciation Thread. on the General Discussion board

    Welcome back Dan! I didn't think anything could make me interested in renewing my premium membership but Dan's return does. Will see what happens. Also very excited about all the other new staff addi...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic That video was weird. on the General Discussion board

    That was the most Giant Bomb type video since there was studio content. It felt fun, had good production values, and brought a lot of energy. I'm excited to see where the site goes with the new staff...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic The State of Premium. on the General Discussion board

    Well after today's news I'm now optimistic and may renew my premium membership. I was not expecting that news! I'm excited for the new crew and especially for the return of Dan Rykert. The energy and...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic The State of Premium. on the General Discussion board

    Day 1 Giant Bomb member and day 1 premium subscriber here. This really hurts, especially the way Jeff is leaving. Jeff is Giant Bomb, without him and Ryan there would be no Giant Bomb. Why did Jeff n...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Countdown clock on twitch is disrespectful and tasteless.. on the General Discussion board

    @peterab: The co-founder of a site for 14 years wasn't given a send off as with all previous staff members. That's odd, and weird so people are going to question and speculate what happened.

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic The State of Premium. on the General Discussion board

    How about at least quarterly in person content? Why couldn't at least a few members of the site get together in person 4 times a year for in person content? The travel costs would be minimal compared ...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic The State of Premium. on the General Discussion board

    The content that put Giant Bomb on the map, that continues to be the most memorable is gone and that is a huge issue IMO. Without in person content returning in a part time or heck even quarter time ...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic The State of Premium. on the General Discussion board

    I've cancelled my premium membership after signing up for it the first day. The loss of in person content is something I miss, it was one of Giant Bomb's biggest strengths IMO. I miss in person edite...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic What's the most annoying nitpick you've hear about a game you enjoy?. on the General Discussion board

    Recently I would say comments about Elden Ring being too long. I don't understand that when a game like Elden Ring isn't filled with a bunch of dull fetch quests and other filler content. There's plen...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Your 2021 Gamepass Review with use of your time as a metric.. on the General Discussion board

    As someone who only plays a few games a year (outside of Nintendo games) Game Pass at $15 a month is a bad deal. I would rather pay for 3 games a year, heck even 3-5 at discounted prices, and own the...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic Lack of flow on the bombcast?. on the Bombcast board

    It's due to the Zoom type podcasts. Hopefully we see some of the staff return to the office for in person podcasting. A majority of the staff is still near San Francisco and could theoretically go in...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic On its first anniversary the Xbox Series X feels like the Xbox One X 2. A nice but unspectacular upgrade.. on the Xbox Series X/S board

    I hear ya, great points. Part of the issue IMO is Microsoft choosing not to create games exclusively for the Series X. Instead MS seems more focused on just having as many people as possible play game...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic How much do you relate to gamepass paralysis, or emulator syndrome?. on the General Discussion board

    As someone who only plays a few games a year I think XBOX Game Pass isn't worth it. I rather buy 2-5 games a year individually (and often on sale) versus paying $10 - $15 a month for Game Pass. After ...

  • Jared posted a message in the forum topic When will COVID-19 end by?. on the Off-Topic board

    @lonelyspacepanda: I'm with you. Fully vaccinated here and now enjoying life as I did pre-pandemic. I have no worries going to the movies, concerts, bars, restaurants, etc. If I somehow still get Covi...
