@gamer_152: You’re right I’m not sure there was a game this year to hold up to mario maker, sims 4, etc. I shouldn’t have used those as exemples, they are fantastic. I’m also not upset by their content as it is, just surprised as I’m listening to people champion games in the end of year podcasts that didn’t get much more than a quick look.
Just cherry picking one example: Dead Cells
Jason played it last year, everyone it seems played it this year. Not everyone loved it, but many did. It has spectator functionality and a daily challenge. It doesn’t need an hour weekly video feature, but was a missed opportunity.
I am the problem... I liked daily dota, spelunky with Patrick, the metal gear scanlon
@flashflood_29: good points, I agree they shouldn’t do anything they don’t find fun. Suffering usually isn’t great content.
I’m previous years: PUBG, Hitman, Mario maker, MGSV, etc all had lots of on-air time while they played at home. We’ve heard a lot about God of War, Spider-man, Dragonball FighterZ, and seen relatively little.
@gamer_152: UPF is a place to fix it, often UPF is time to look at a game they heard about or was recommended, but they haven’t played it before. Devil daggers is an example of a good one, and one brad has brought back later after spending more time with it. But frequently they are games they haven’t tried before and they goof on it or dunk on it.
I wish more of the video content on the site better reflected the staff top ten lists. It feels like over the years more and more of the games for videos are either first impressions or early impressions. Goofing on a game is and should always be part of the giant bomb formula, but maybe more features like 7 deadly sims, MGSV: phantom pain, and Xquisite Corps... just for games that are more current. The bombcast and beastcast update the community on the staffs opinions, but I’d like to see video content reflect the joy people find in their favorite games.
I am a pocket casts user and subscriber to GB. I've been using the high quality feed with my personalized api for a while to manage videos on my ipad. It stopped refreshing and has no new episodes after 10/10. I am still able to get premium podcast feeds for the Bombcast and Beastcast.
I like and enjoy my PS4. If it were to break and there were two SKUs one at like $300 for a PS4 and $400 for a PS4.5, I would appreciate and take the option to by the PS4.5.
If we are talking a 3 year cycle with full game compatibility (similar to a phone's 1 year cycle but longer) I'm ok with it. Some people will be able to pick up the older model for cheap, some will sell their current models to help them buy the next one, and some will buy a second one. The PS4.5 still wont be capable of supporting a Rift or Vive, they can't do it and hit a reasonable price.
I'm going back to sinking hours into Stardew Valley on my PC, regardless.....
When I download videos using the RSS feed(using pocket casts) the right side of the screen is missing pixels. The Talisman QL was missing all the UI on the right side. Not sure if it is a giant bomb video issue, aspect ratio of the iPad, or pocket casts... YouTube videos play properly.
I really dont like the distortion in the 'wide shot' for YPF etc... It happened a couple weeks ago? when they moved the tvs closer to the couches. I figured they were moving, but it came back again in the new studio*
