getting triggered over the silliest stuff thats just marketing for a game is really silly. It's watchdogs, what do you expect? the tone and aims of it has been the same since the first one to a degree. It's not trying to have some kind of profound message. Its just the setting for the game to be what it is, then you can do all the super silly shit.
I find it extremely weird as well. I find it shocking that they still get bent over these kinds of things.
Lol I definitely don't watch youtube gaming personalities. To be honest if I am watching any games coverage I just watch direct streams from companies and I turn off any comments.
Lots of interesting discussion here. While I agree that I don't need the crew to be faking excitement over stuff that doesn't do it for them, I wish there was at least a second person who'd be there with Vinny. He isn't faking excitement but he's not making me feel bad for watching the Talk Over either. Is that too much to be asked?
This is exactly how I feel, and It's why I appreciate Abby as well.
I just want to reiterate once more how gross I find it when people think anyone is being "too negative" about corporate products. It's not Giant Bomb's job to be impressed and excited about corporate advertising. It's the job of the corporation to excite US.
And fellas, this didn't do it. And that's coming from someone who's looking forward to some of these games. The presentation just did absolutely nothing for me.
If you "can't take it anymore" that people aren't super giddy about video games, because video games are an "escape" for you, then you may have deeper issues which perhaps need a solution that doesn't rely on the excitement of people you don't even know to keep your mood positive. You should come here to be entertained, not for confirmation bias or fake glee. If you're no longer entertained, that's normal. No one is entertained by one thing forever. But becoming a bitter child about it won't solve anything.
Yeah sorry I don't find a bunch of negativity entertaining lol
If you boil it down to "positivity" or "negativity" and that's your take away from an hour and a half stream, perhaps you'd prefer something a little more to your tastes... I know of plenty of Youtubers who squeal with glee when they open a lootbox or see a sequel to a game they play. Please, go enjoy some "positivity." Mmm, suck down that glittery corporate propaganda with a smile.

Cool it's the 40+ duders being cynical on new games time!
Yeah I can't take it any more unfortunately, Giant bomb used to be my favorite gaming site, I've been a part of this site since the beginning but I just can't take the negativity anymore. It's too predictable and it's almost like its become their brand. Video games are a fun escape for me, especially with everything going on in the world. I just can't deal with it anymore , it's been a good ride.
The crew has wives, kids, etc their just busy. You cant expect them to be super excited at a time like this. They have a ton of work and stress. We should be supportive. Do you really expect near 50 year olds to jump for joy cause some game came out and did something youve seen already. Jeff and crew play tons of games and just need alot to impress. Jeff likes good shooters like COD. Far Cry has never been his thing...etc.
It's not even that they have to jump for joy, the negativity just seems overbearing and too predictable at this point. It's literally feels like it's become their brand, If it is it's fine but I just don't have the interest in their style of anymore. I don't look for blind enthusiasm either.
