The GiantBomb Quick Look Thread

Not that horrible for a movie tie in. The graphics looks kind of shitty, but the combat seems pretty smooth. I liked Wolverine, but even that got repetitive as hell pretty early on.

well at least it's only $50.

Bleh, another run of the mill comic-book character game. Graphics look pretty average, combat looks super repetitive. They mentioned Batman and Wolverine a few times and you can really see that in the combat...just not as polished.

The collection stuff is insane to the point of being utterly pointless. Did the developers really need to pad their game out that much?

Captain America: Super Bomba

It has a popular license and the combat doesn't look half bad, even if it's shallow. It'll sell.

I actually felt the usual 'forced humor' complaints re: Kessler were relatively subdued in this video. Jeff and Matt kept pretty focused on the game and it made for a relatively engaging quick look. Well, a quick look for a forgettable videogame tied to a probably forgettable summer movie.
 
To tell you the truth Kessler seemed way better in this QL than the EDF one. I think that might have something to do with not having Ryan berating him while talking about the game.

I want to subscribe but I barely have time to get thru all their Quick Looks every week so it's just not worth it to to me... maybe when they start offering another really cool t-shirt.
Or a members-only Endurance Run.
 
Kessler was pretty decent. It's probably because Jeff works with him instead of against him.

I don't think I've seen a more washed out game. Some games have a muted color palette as part of the art style. That game is just washed the fuck out.
 
didnt visit this thread till now but I was on GB homepage.

clicked play on the Captain America QL and the second jeff said "hi kessler" i closed the page.


Voting with my clicks dawg.
 
Kessler was fine in this QL, I thought. He's no Patrick, anyway...

The colors in that game look really muted and ugly, or something. Combat looked pretty fun, but eh.

You started off so well. Am I the only person who doesn't actively hate someone on the bomb crew? =|

Nope.

And I'm getting seriously tired with every Kessler video resulting in 2+ pages of people moaning. Don't fucking watch if you don't like him and please don't feel the need to tell everyone you did so.
 
I don't like kessler much, but I hate the reaction to him so much more that I hope he gets into as many bombcasts/quicklooks/tnts/happy hours as possible to make those whiney fools cry even more.

Yeah, I totally agree. This was as enjoyable and informative as your average QL.
Ryan's forced mockery on the other hand gets old really fast.

And I also don't hate what I've seen from the game. Looks like something I would buy when it drops below 15GBP.

Hate is a strong word. But I dislike Kessler and Alex and avoid their stuff whenever possible. They both try too hard to be funny.

I didn't consider Alex as part of the Giant Bomb crew. If so, yeah, totally hate that dude.

At least they try. Brad doesn't bring the funny, insight, or anything else other than terrible taste/opinions (L.A. = amazing game, "Bayonetta's gameplay is competent but people play it for the crazy"), an occasionally pretentious vocabulary, and a penchant to blame the game he's playing for every mistake he makes despite the fact he's shit at most games being well documented.

Brad liking LA Noir makes him terrible?

I don't hate any of them. Kessler was annoying at the start but has gotten much better. He does good reviews and his QL skills are improving every video. It's just the people who watch these videos that are incredibly whiny and bitchy about everything. Kessler is the inexperienced one but is expected to be as good as people in the job for 10 year.

LA is an amazing game. I like Brad but I feel like he has a kill-joy attitude sometimes. Other than that, he's fine.
