oti please answer we are worried.

Get rid of quick looks. Have all video content throughout the week be premium-type content and the time used to make quick looks is instead used to make those more interesting videos, turn the already shit UPF into a feature where they all play a recently released game, sort of like a bunch of mini-QLs.

 

[Giganteus]

now they're playing Splatoon 2 on UPF

oti are you ok?

Not if CBSi has anything to say about it.

I'm mostly disappointed it's literally just Dota. They could do tons of great stuff with it. If there's an outlet I will watch Dota on it's GB. That's why it's too bad the first episode was literally just Dota. Something I can get from thousands of other outlets. Make it interesting for more people than just Dota players. Get Jeff involved if he wants.

Not everything has to be catered to my wishes. I can still express when I don't like a format and apparently I'm not the only one.

The thing about Dota...there is almost no way to make it interesting for non-fans. It's a pointless endeavor. It's too complex and weird. Which, is I think your point. If you can't make a video for everyone why make it? (but does any video fit that category?)

I viewed this as almost a breaking brad style endurance test. Which is a twist on "just playing dota". Can Brad win games as some of the more difficult heroes? I'd love to see Brad's Invoker or IO games. That's going to be pretty damn entertaining to watch. Imagine Brad is on a 10 game IO losing streak and then starts to pull it off.

Bringing Jeff in would just make it miserable for everyone. Dota fans and Jeff included.
So the question is are there enough Dota fans to make it worth doing? I guess time will tell.

dab shirtz.

I just reupped to GB today because of the Dota feature and it wasn't even a Premium feature! But I just wanted to make sure that Ben knows I have his back.

oti please answer we are worried.

Oti will get matched against them and lose, forever losing face at the hands of GBW.

As a dota fan, I agree with Oti on the Dota feature. It really is hard to follow for non fans, ESPECIALLY jumping into a character like Disruptor. There could have been worse heroes to start off with, though. I generally think the feature will slowly make that a non-issue if Ben keeps providing good coaching tips and general dota knowledge

 

[imBask]

to be fair oti was right anyway, they didn't even mention Fallen Legion on PSVita that came out this week

is it too much to ask for a single QL for that game? like cmon

I think even Sony forgot that it came out.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Vinny was right


Splatoon is bad

 

[BearPawB]

I played like 5 minutes of Splatoon 1 before getting bored.

But Splatoon 2 has grabbed me completely.

it's literally the same game tho

 

[BearPawB]

it's literally the same game tho

yeah, i can't really explain it. I think it is mostly because of the pro controller honestly.

I never got used to it on the wii-u. WIth motion or without it.

Even on the switch i find playing on the gamepad itself to be awful. But when i have a pro controller it sings

fair. The console is a legit reason

 

[KingKong]

Splatoon 2 is so boring. bring back dota

 

[Liquid Shake]

Splatoon 2 is so boring. bring back dota

New feature idea: SplatOTA 2...that's all I've got.

 

[Twin Tails]

bring back dota

 

[Hellsing321]

Hot take: Dota content is better than PUBG content.

 

[robotrock]

Who the heck named their daughter after a telltale walking dead character

 

[xxracerxx]

The beginning of this weeks Murder Island is great. I like to close my eyes and picture what is going on.

 

[Jintor]

Splatoon 2 is so boring. bring back dota

stay fresh

 

[Twin Tails]

We need some card pack openings.

 

[Basileus777]

This Dota series may be the worst GB feature since that farmville thing. #I'mwithoti

 

[Teddified]

Ben bringing his A game.

 

[robotrock]

Usually not a fan of the "let's laugh at this bad garbage I found on steam" UPF approach but I'm laughing a lot at this rat jumping around

 

[Blitzrules240]

Oh God, is Ben playing that Rat game again?

 

[xuchu]

Oh God, is Ben playing that Rat game again?

He's played this before?

 

[Giganteus]

Good god, this is the most pleasant looking Steam trash I've ever seen.

[chogidogs]

I would pay double subscription for a follow-Rorie-around-cam-all-day feature.

 

[Twin Tails]

BUY DANCES

 

[LegoArmo]

#BanSteamFromUPF

Not a bad call.

 

[Hasney]

#BanSteamFromUPF

Not a bad call.

OK, we'll play Tennis to the Face on PS4.

 

[Karspankey]

Anyone know if you can continue watching UPF if you start from the beginning and it goes off air while you're watching?

 

[Teddified]

Fortnite isn't real.

 

[Twin Tails]

quick look ex upcomign

 

[Piston Hyundai]

quick look ex upcomign

is it of a game they're playing on UPF

 

[robotrock]

Are they going to upload this segment separately as a Fortnite Unfinished

 

[convo]

You know i'd pay for Ben to play through the Kingdom Hearts collections, he'd love the particle effects and if Giantbomb could have someone humble enough to take advice during his playthough it would be Ben. I'd bet there would be enough time to make it through it all before KH3 comes out.

 

[Kalor]

I would pay double subscription for a follow-Rorie-around-cam-all-day feature.

75% of it would be him properly petting puppies.

 

[Twin Tails]

is it of a game they're playing on UPF

maybe

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

The defense of Mordor in the Giant Beastcast this week is as weak as ever.

Same thing with DMC 3. I love those games!

Thanks for replying, Dan.

Do you think the delay in recording affected how you were able to internalize the combat? Watching it, it seemed like the game was teaching each combat style pretty well.

 

[Twin Tails]

I don't see why they need to defend it? It was their group pick and something they all liked for an GOTY list that means nothing.

 

[avengers23]

Especially on Fridays when he is ranting about cream cheese and the temperature of sodas.

New feature idea: SplatOTA 2...that's all I've got.

Is that chess boxing, where you play a round of Dota, shoot some heroin for the loot box fix, and then play Splatoon 2?

 

[J_Viper]

I just reupped to GB today because of the Dota feature and it wasn't even a Premium feature! But I just wanted to make sure that Ben knows I have his back.

Nice try, Ben!

Is poop a emotion?
