I booted up my youtube android app a minute ago to find that my updates had been bombarded by Giantbomb's youtube account for new videos. I know what your thinking, what is wrong with that? The only problem is they are putting up all the cutscenes from Uncharted 3, that is literally the title. My question is, since when did Giantbomb feel like they needed to do such a thing? I don't mind it when a youtube user does it, but why does Giantbomb feel the need to be those guys and almost make buying the game for it's story completely worthless.

Games that allow in-game recording and uploading to YouTube.
When did Giantbomb become those guys on youtube?
I really don't know. I had to unsubscribe from all the Whiskey sites, they were destroying my subscriptions feed with nonsense!
It's on the giantbomb channel though, which means it reflects the company. Did everyone sit down and say "hey I think this is a great idea." This feels like it would be on a random youtube channel not a site like giantbombs.
o well on that. you don't have to watch it.
people do this all the time. i think it's a good thing. sometimes i'll watch a video from a clip of a video game, that i don't have. i watched the ending for metal gear solid 3 every once in a while. i don't have a working ps3 and i don't feel like buying a ps3 and play the game again.

Yeah, this year has been full of bad decisions for Giant Bomb and WM in general. I think they're starting to forget why people loved them and their websites in the first place..
What other bad decisions have they made? And this is just side stuff that the interns are doing.
Come on people, let's go get our fucking pitchforks and torches, cause the interns dun messed up. Don't really see a problem with uploading all cutscenes.
@iDarktread said:I unsubbed from the channel because I don't want want to be seeing spoilers in the video thumbnail appearing in my youtubee feed.
These.I unsubscribed a few weeks ago because of spoilers present in thumbnails and titles.
I wish it was soundtracks, instead. At least that way, it would make sense to see Giant Bomb videos cloggging up my subscription feed :P.
I believe this is the interns doing. On that note I think all the intern content should be relegated to the intern videos playlist on YouTube. While I enjoy the Intern content, I think new users should be introduced to the site through the main site content( the GB crew) not intern videos.

Can't wait for their "music videos" consisting of clips from Advent Children with Linkin Park songs being played over it.
Nah, they should just have Kessler´s headshot montage on there! L33t gaming skillz and Linkin Park go togehter like salt&pepper.
.....*sigh*..... Why must everyone overreact about the dumbest shit? You no likey, no watchy/unsubscribey. Simple.
Yeah. With the team transferring most of their content to YouTube I think the interns should get a separate channel to post their content. (GiantBomb-interns or The realGiantBomb-interns maybe)Keep the Giantbomb account for Quick Looks and Reviews n shit you stupid interns!

Therealgiantbomb isnt the real giantbomb
Are you sure? I think it is, it's the channel the Quick Looks on the front page are uploaded to.
This is a really odd thing to upload, for a game like Uncharted you might as well just stick a torrent of the cracked game up there while you're at it.

This sounds ridiculous at first blush, but you're actually right. There isn't much more to these games than the story, so putting up all of the cutscenes the day of/day after release feels like a dick move.
Yeah, I don't see why it's necessary or who they thought would want it.
Obviously "you don't have to watch it" but it's still dumb and doesn't feel like something Giant Bomb would do.
This is kind of lame.
Bad interns, bad.
Since the move of main WM videos to youtube I agree with the dudes above, the main content and the extra comntent (by inetrns and such) needs t0o be seperated.
You guys don't need to watch these videos. For the most part I doubt they are even meant for the main GB community. However, if someone is randomly searching on google or youtube for game videos, finds these, then the comes to the main site and starts getting into the real content, isn't that a win for Whiskey Media? Pretty sure the crew wouldn't be mad with more people coming to the sight regardless of how they got here.
Yes. This.Yeah, I don't see why it's necessary or who they thought would want it.

Hmm, maybe they need to think about having a second account for these types of videos.
Having said that, I bet you ANY MONEY that the interns are responsible for this :P
I bet* it's the admins trolling the community because bans are at an all-time low and they want to get users riled up.

Isn't that copyright infringement? For a game as theatrical and story based as Uncharted, it seems really unethical. Like if they uploaded the cinematics of a Metal Gear Solid or a Final Fantasy. Many people play these games just for the story.
