Guess we know why Vinny didn't play it. GB is becoming Waypoint 2.0.
Well, that seems to fly in the face of a lot of the narrative defence of GB going on in this thread... let's try and remember the good times
*pours one out

Well, I guess that settles it for me then.Guess we know why Vinny didn't play it. GB is becoming Waypoint 2.0.
It's laughable really if this is going to be the level of discussion moving forward. You can't in one thread exhail "Lol. HOW DARE SOMEONE NOT HAVE MY EXACT OPINION. What a bunch of babies. I'm glad those people stay over there." in one thread and then write this in another. It's petty, reductive and adds nothing to the conversation, other than a clear loud sign that you're just as intolerant of a differing opinion as those you're railing against on the other forum.Giant Bomb, like most of the big gaming sites/magazines, is absolute trash. Their influence is minimal at best and some random /v/-user with a mic and some editing software can churn out consistently more interesting content than they ever could.
Fuck em.

Looks like I was right that it was also because of Abby. She played her oppressed card like she did it with nier. Worst Crewmember ever and if this does not change until June I will cancel my sub. I already do not listenting/watching to evrything with Abby in it and the sims and dating sim shit is the worst already. Well luckily there are tons of great streamer and youtubers out there.Guess we know why Vinny didn't play it. GB is becoming Waypoint 2.0.
Today, I was actually looking at their site while making a post. I was surprised that they don't even have a Witcher 3 review. Like, wtf...Lol. Giant Bomb isn't trash just because of their opinions. They're trash because their content is generally low quality and lacks the depth that any number of random Youtubers can provide. Their reviews don't really say anything or provide any points of view that can't be found in basically every other large gaming site's reviews. You can pretty much copy and paste the review from IGN, Gamespot, etc. and end up with a Giant Bomb review. They bring absolutely nothing interesting or special to the table, and yet they have the audacity to charge people for some kind of laughable premium membership.
Trash.

Have you noticed how unusually quiet he has been in the last few podcasts? In the last cast I didn’t even realise he was there until like 5 minutes in. Fucking travesty.Dan is still a ray of sunshine, but I can even see his enthusiasm curbing during streams.
With as much coverage as this game is already getting, why does this even matter?
Yes it is. He was openly part of a white supremacy group. Neo Nazis were his primary audience. The guy is also a murderer, so that's an issue too, albeit separate.Wearing a Burzum t is racist now? fucking hell.
No, it fucking isn't.Yes it is. He was openly part of a white supremacy group. Neo Nazis were his primary audience. The guy is also a murderer, so that's an issue too, albeit separate.
The absolute lengths some of you will go to to defend a Nazi.
That isn't the issue. The developer's own racist and sexist attitudes are. I suggest you have a casual scroll down his Twitter feed, if you can't be assed to read interviews or see posts he's made on forums, Gamer Gate sites and even alt-right forums.I dont find it racist if there is no people of color in the game as the game is trying to be historical.
I think they were being sarcastic.No, it fucking isn't.
See above.I think they were being sarcastic.
Yep. He beat me by seconds. See my edit.See above.
You have flat out called the man a Nazi. Post evidence to support your accusation. Don't allude to 'things he's said' or his 'twitter feed'. Post evidence.That isn't the issue. The developer's own racist and sexist attitudes are. I suggest you have a casual scroll down his Twitter feed, if you can't be assed to read interviews or see posts he's made on forums, Gamer Gate sites and even alt-right forums.

Call it what it is. You're allowed to like it, I don't care, but get your head out the sand. To have the nerve to say to someone advocating white power and the expulsion of Muslims and Jews from France and Norway isn't racist? GTFO.No, it fucking isn't.
That I have to explain to you that you can like music without agreeing with the views of the creator, is astounding to me.Call it what it is. You're allowed to like it, I don't care, but get your head out the sand. To have the nerve to say to someone advocating white power and the expulsion of Muslims and Jews from France and Norway isn't racist? GTFO.
The trolling here is people like yourself pretending Daniel Vavra hasn't made and done so truly vile comments or actions, whether confirmed or alleged.He’s gone off the deep end with this trolling. It’s not even subtle.
I am still waiting for you to provide evidence that this person is a Nazi. You said he is. Prove it.The trolling here is people like yourself pretending Daniel Vavra hasn't made and done so truly vile comments or actions, whether confirmed or alleged.
The Burzum T-shirt is just one of them. Yes, he wore it to make a statement. It's no different to the dozens of other politicised T-shirts he wears.

It takes a special type of person to promote their game on Breitbart.
Anyways this thread basically has done the opposite of what it intended. Good for Giant Bomb for shunning KCD. It still managed to nab £30 from me, but next time I'll be better informed.

Addressing Bethesda Game Studios’ open-world role-playing game The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Cooper said, “Medievally-themed [sic] video games are a space where whiteness can be anchored, in a ‘happy history’ where a world is free of multiculturalism and white guilt.”
The actual gameplay experience isn't very close, though, is it? Other than the save system, I like what KCD is trying to do with its more "realistic" systems, but I don't find it hard to believe that someone who loves Elder Scrolls would find KCD to be terribly boring and tedious.
I have never read a single article on Breitbart and i think that particular one is not that bad i think? Daniel Vávra seems to be a pretty even-tempered man that is recognizing that the whole discussion is valid but the criticism of him is not.The trolling here is...

I can't say I disagree with this. Abby isn't fun to watch as a feature host, and her contribution to discussions tends to be a lot of surface-level stuff without much actual discourse to back it up (ex. 'but the cultural appropriation' during the Horizon GOTY debate).Worst Crewmember ever and if this does not change until June I will cancel my sub.

"Best part" was when she always said cuphead should be higher on the list totally ignoring the controversy of its artstyle to be "racist" but NIER? She really had a vile mission to even get this game out of the Top 10. That was her whole goal.One out of ten staffers who is already known to be politically outspoken doth not a whole site make.
But hey let's just ignore everything before the first comma and jump directly to GOTCHA.

I subscribe primarily for the GB West content though, so her presence isn't enough to make me cancel.

Political or no i really don't see why them covering this gam matters, it's a free world and they can do whatever the fuck they want *shrugs*

Abby from GB didn't like it's sexualisation of robot female characters, and felt it was a barrier to entry. She's not wrong for feeling that way, the camera does default to upskirt shots. Anyway she wasn't convinced by the others it was Top 10 worthy in their Game of the Year miniseries, but let it slide.Pardon my ignorance, but what's this controversy regarding Nier all about?
