It's hilarious how much hate Vinny and Drew are getting over the F1 quick look on youtube

I got up to the part where they tried to guess slash commands to type into the chat window. Each one they typed was invalid but each time the game helpfully suggested they type /? to see the list of commands. None of them saw this message.

How does Brad play through RE4 three times and not know what yellow herbs do?
We know these guys and how they approach the games in quicklooks, we are used to it. youtube audience and hardcore fans of the games see this video and get mad over every wrong statement and gameplay mistake, even if it's not really important. Almost like how Brad quicklooks are getting judged too critical on this forum.rhfb said:

I am surprised they didn't point out Leon's absolutely crazy reload animation on the bolt action sniper rifle.
Absolutely mindblowing in 2004.

Yeah, me too. I told myself I'd try to use the semi-auto rifle as main rifle for my third playthrough... still went for the bolt action one.Papercuts said:
I like the bolt action rifle in RE5 as well. So much I started doing mercs runs where I limit my weapons to the rifle only: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBaynw7qq6E
Motion capture or not, it just quite simply looks good. It doesn't only look good for 2004, it looks good right now. Most modern games doesn't have as smooth and nice looking animations as RE4 and RE5 (and I'm gonna give RE5 some bonus points for making left handed variants of all reload animations. there's even a third variant in a few cases for a right handed female character). Capcom must have some kind of reload animation fetish, and I love them for it.Luigiv said:

I just spent five minutes watching the reload GIF repeat itself over and over.

And he let both the pocket watch and the pearl pendant get dirty. It was a little infuriating watching it as someone who's played RE4 so much but it's not much of an issue unless they blame the game for problems and make it look bad like the SotC QL._Alkaline_ said:
I wish I could find a better reload .gif for the Broken Butterfly. That one's offscreen(?) and missing a lot of frames.

I'm not going to lie, I am getting annoyed with the constants digs at Brad now. Stop it.

Wow, F1 looks really awesome... but I also know that I'd only play it for like a couple of hours before being bored because I'm too chicken to play on all the hardcore settings. At least the game makes it realistic and it's okay not to win every single race in order to do well.
It's really just being nitpicky about a game people adore. I've probably played RE4 atleast 15 times through, one of those being a knife only run, so I nearly had a heart attack seeing him play. It's like watching other people play Tetris and going nuts over them not playing the exact way you do.
Definitely nothing like the SotC quicklook which actually made the game look really bad.

Yep, "Pulling a Brad" used to be good fun in friendly spirit, but the forced nitpicking about his playstyle has pretty much developed into some kind of cyber-bullying. :lolKeyser Soze said:
Making fun of Brad for dying while doing stuff like jumping into the hole in Dante's inferno/running into goombas in NSMBwii - Funny
Crying every time he makes a tiny mistake because he's trying to explain/talk/think about what parts to show? Annoying and if you are going to do it every quick look either stop watching or stop posting about it.

If that Will Smith cartoon doesn't get brought up during This Is Only A Test today I will be upset. Someone twitter that to GaryWhitta ASAP and have him tape it to his clever internet t-shirt
It's not playing shit that's irritating, it's blaming the game. Being bad at SotC or RE4 is fine, saying the game is releasing your grip, or a bad guy is taking a whole clip in the chest is misrepresenting the game.
The question is who are these videos for? With RE4 I don't care, I imagine a ballpark of the people buying this is 90% of the people who've already played the game. Similar for OoT and the Team Ico collection, so it's not really an issue. But I do use quicklooks to help me inform buying decisions, and maybe I shouldn't.

It's a shame that people have taken 'pulling a Brad' to this extreme where it's no longer having a chuckle at some death that results from him goofing up, and has become raging at him for not playing the game exactly the way they want him to play it.
I just hope it doesn't put him off doing QLs. Brad/Vinny is my 2nd favourite QL combo.

For sure. Seems like a lot of people haven't mastered the art of walking the line between good-natured ribbing and being a fucking dick.LuchaShaq said:

It used to be a joke. People die all the time in games so it was just a funny thing to joke about when it happened to Brad. I think the SotC quicklook really shocked people honestly.hamchan said:
I'm surprised they didn't edit the video to add text pointing out that there was a grip meter on the screen. Just leaving the quicklook like that makes the game look broken.

If Giant Bomb said to jump off a bridge, LuchaShaq would immediately look up Google Maps to find the nearest one.

Who's raging at Brad or being vitriolic? How fucking sensitive are some of you people?

Yeah, I enjoy poking fun but it feels a bit mean at times in these threads. Brad comes of as one of the more earnest of the GB crew.
That said, the Shadow of Colossus was rough to watch but I still love Brad and the GB crew.

I am gonna be part of the Brad Defense Force here. The only two times I have really said "wut" in regard to his play were the OoT QL and the SotC QL, besides that it really is just the difficulty of playing games while talking. As someone who tried to do a QL style thing by themselves, it is SUPER HARD to talk and focus on a game at the same time. I don't blame Brad at all for making some silly mistakes, especially if he hasn't played RE4 in years.
