And that he's coming at it from the point of "we" always. Like he's one of us. Not up in some ivory tower bestowing scores and preaching about "the reality of modern game development" to the entitled peasants.Originally Posted by funkystudent
Good to see him breaking through.
Its nice to have someone doing one of these kind of shows who isnt constantly cursing and yelling.
Great stuff. I just really hope he knows the amount of praise he's getting.
Kyle is great! Ongoing show now.
Next week Kellee Santiago's new show launches, hope you guys dig that one too.

The final bit about the enemy types was great.
Guy is on point with everything. Guy is 2 for 2.
Hopefully the 2 week intervals will allow him to keep up the quality.

I liked his new video as much as the Playstation Meeting one. I don't normally watch or listen to gaming podcasts, but I'll definitely regularly tune in to his shows. Great stuff, especially loved "....I think I just described Knack."
Loved this new episode. He's just so pleasant, regardless of if you agree with him or not. I didn't find the dead bodies suggestion very important but I liked hearing him rant about it :)
I like this guy a lot. I agree with all his points, and they're pretty intelligible.
My only problem is if not all enemies disappear, it makes your environments look like shit and your just swimming through pools of ragdoll bodies, which was fun in 2005, but now? No thanks. I'd take Promethean disintegrating animations over that any day. But if they stay there until I've progressed past that point in a linear game, I could care less because I'm not going back.

Great show. He seems really humble, which is such a change from what the industry is used to. I hope the show can maintain it's appeal in the long run.
"His opinions are mostly wrong"
How can you not like this guy.

I like the new video as well lol. Bosman show is a very good thing for GT.
Very classy and authentic fellow!
His orange analogy was superb!

I really liked his E3 video and I kinda liked this one, but I have a feeling that I will get tired of this guy quickly.
Something about his style and voice might get under my skin later on.

I swear there used to be an option to watch videos in SD on GT, but I don't see it anywhere. Am I just blind?
I wish my computer hadn't died and left me stuck with this garbage netbook so this wouldn't be a problem. :/

I really like this guy's style and comedic timing. The Knack line was basically perfect (music stops, slight camera zoom, brief pause for thought, and great delivery).
I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out for more episodes.

Love these.
He's pretty funny, without coming off as a tryhard.
The closest he came off as one was probably the ending to the vid when he kept dragging that joke. Glad to see him with his own show.

Is this guy just a persona or?
Another great video. Glad he got his own show!
He has a really pleasing voice and effective body language. I know that sounds silly, but I think that accounts for a good portion of why he's so easily likable. (I obviously don't mean to play down the fact that I think he's mostly on-point with what he says).

reminds me of someone..... just can't put my finger on it..
LOL at the Bill the translator orange thing! Where is that from?!!
I like his "allow me to do more stuff" point. Not enough games allow you to create your own fun.
Holy shit, Bill Trinen.
I agree with him.
The games Sony showcased looked good--great even--however, I want games that stand apart from the standard along with the familiars. Hopefully Sony can deliver that with their push on Indie games.
An example is Journey. Never experienced a game like that. I want more of it.
I've said it before but I'll say it again: Graphics aren't enough this generation. We need gameplay (that isn't gimmicky) that sets this generation apart from the others. I don't care if "it's only possible on PS4" or whatever (if that's the case, cool), I care about gameplay and ideas that stands out. I think Watch Dogs is in that vein but we'll see how that goes.

I don't want to be "that guy" but I find him irritating.
Too try-hard, like "look how weird I can be! - aren't I quirky and down-to-earth?"
It just seems so forced to me.

"Likeable" ahahahaah
I wanted to watch the video, but the damn videoplayer won't let me. Always shits the bed after a few minutes and displays a black message box:
I feel like a German on youtube.
Judging solely from the first few minutes: He is way more enthusiastic and hectic in this video compared to the PS4 one... I think. Dunno how I feel about that. The industry basically runs on clowns, so I think I liked his serious persona more than his gif-able one because it stands out more.
Will try to watch again, 7/10.
Edit: Managed to watch most of the rest. What the hell, Oranges? And he didn't even go with "allow me to make Orange juice" but instead wanted to squish/throw them at the wall? Made me chuckle for some reason. But yeah, I can see where he's coming from, and I agree with his issues, although I don't share his inherently positive outlook on nextgen.
Also, why bring Mario into the disappearing enemy reel instead of one of the million other currentgen games that did this way more obnoxiously? Also, on that issue: My first thought was of Doom 1/2 since I'm a nostalgic old fuck; loads and loads of dead bodies littering the stage in that game. Would have loved to see some of that instead. Now I can't go "haven't played that in a while" and go spelunking for my copy of the Teletubby Doom mod.

But The Final Bosman has not been added to our Youtube Line up as of yet.
He loves his oranges.
Aah next gen of gaming journalist keep up that work.
Out with old in with the new.

I don't think I'd call anything he does journalism. It's just commentary. Not dissimilar to what you would find on GAF in your average forum post. I don't think he's trying to sell himself as a journalist either.Originally Posted by dragonelite

Good for him, he's great on camera.
Aah that seems on the same level as gaming journalism.Originally Posted by DoctorWho

Sorry for the journalist on this forum but after some shit they pulled in recent years all the cred they build up when i was younger is almost all gone.
I really liked his first videos, but wasn't a big fan of his first "official" video. It didn't feel as fluid. Also way too many oranges! But I really do like this guy. So I hope his next video picks back up.
This was wonderful :)
Yeah, same here. I can't stand most gaming podcasts/shows, however, this is not just bearable but actually entertaining.Originally Posted by Incendiary

I did the EXACT SAME THING in Red Faction on the PS2.
I've wanted more games to let me do that since then.
I really like this guy. He's good people.
