Giant Bomb Thread #4: A thread of perceived slights

Giantbomb could probably flat out ignore events they don't feel like going to. I have a feeling people will come to hear their opinions even if they're late on the coverage and only have second-hand stuff.
jeff said he felt it was important enough to go see this game from Bungie.

He never expected that they wouldn't let him actually see the game.
 
No gameplay being shown sets off red flags in my head. Maybe this is just to curb expectations, but imagination is the ultimate hype engine.
 
This may be a bit off-topic but I just rewatched Beverly Hills Cop for the first time in ages and suddenly everything about Jeff and his outlook on life makes more sense.

He sounded very disappointed himself. That is really not something you would expect as press invited to a game unveiling.
 
Bungie just comes off as incredibly pretentious. I almost hope the game flops just so they get knocked down a peg or two. Yeah you guys made Halo, but you haven't made a good game in years. I'm interested to see what it's like, but this marketing is fucking terrible and I don't have high hopes for it.
 
So, I can't log in anymore. The site shows an internal error and I can't reset my password because they want me to log in at least once.

Help?

What do you expect them to be like? They want interest to peak and their game to sell, acting all coy and reserved doesn't exactly do wonders for your marketing push. Why do people take marketing so personally?
 
I want Sony's event to be similar ego massaging from Kaz, talking about the console but only showing "concept" images, and then says goodbye thanks for coming etc etc.

Then when everyone has decided he wasn't joking and people start filing out, Tretton runs in and shouts "JUST KIDDING YOU GUYS" and rolls in the Last Guardian demos on real PS4 units.

That's exactly what they did with EA's Crysis 3 PR event. They declined because they didn't want to "jump through a bunch of Metacritic-focused hoops" (actual quote from Jeff's tumblr) and didn't get an early Crysis 3 copy as a result.

I would throw up from excitement.

I'd prefer it if only your first sentence happened.
The reactions and outrage would be way better than actually knowing about the console.

Yes.

People have gotten in after sending an email to the email provided. Apparently Dave and co. are on it.
 
Watching Ryan's Simcity stream hahaha... man his layout is something lol. "Blackwater, home to the world's smallest house lots" haha.
 
In Patrick's state, he might need someone to help him ENDURE the game....

and, it has voice acting, so the lack of reading ability won't hurt it this time! Huzzah!
 
Love the name for Jeff's video. He seems to have done the best with what they were given, definitely a solid video.



That was the impression I got from Jeff, that they really can't show anything yet until console announcements are made.

is the audio dropping and clicking for other people? is it on the video itself or due to connection stuff on my end?

His end. Happened to me too.

Destiny would probably have been a lot cooler if it wasn't 75% the same information that has been leaking for years now. The only new stuff felt like the specific stuff that they might as well change before launch.
 
OH MY GOD SS2 IS AVAILABLE WITH DRM SIGN ME THE FUCK UP! what are you people saying
You know plenty of games you can buy through steam have zero drm whatsoever right? And that's including steam. It's up to the holder if they want you to be able to run it without steam on. Almost every game that has used the gog exe and later came to steam just downloads the same files that doesn't even need steam running.
 
Hmm so I just realized. Patrick will be out until next week (he said so on his tumblr), Jeff is out on tuesday to fly to New-York and Vinny might still be moving... This will be a lonely podcast between Ryan and Brad lol.

That sounds like it would be a great podcast.
