giant bomb is horrible. Why the fuck do you idiots even follow or watch anything they do?
They're part of the 'gamers are dead' bullshit. They are idiotic white knights that are willing to defend sjw for anything.

Jeff wrote an article telling people that if they actually want to do something about journalism or whatever, goobergate isn't a group they should associate themselves it.

this is a perfectly logical statement
associating yourself with a group at all is an implicit bias that should generally be avoided at all costs when attempting impartial coverage, esp. in journalism
>>340247624
Patrick calling Nolan North an asshole when he tried to stop Patrick from cutting him off followed by Ryan stopping the interview should count too.

Am I the only one who really enjoys the Giant Bombcast but can't stand anything else they do especially playing games?
Bombcast is perfect when I'm driving to work and I like the tangents they go on, but any video they're usually just playing a game in an unremarkable fashion.
Only good videos I've seen was the classic Rider Meet Horse, Horse Meet Rider and their reaction to that Alpaca Visual Novel.
>>340248259

When one of the developers posted Dave Lang's phone number on a live show because he was being ignored was great. Especially when Dave was shocked that the only person he didn't offend fucked him over

Phil isn't going to talk to them this year.
>>340248578
that actually did though
>>340248514
I like their conference streams
but I wish they'd stick with only 3 or 4 people
6 people is too many talking like last years E3 stream
but they did better with Sony's Paris show and other smaller conferences

This is why Jeff Gerstmann is the only guy in the industry that I follow.

Damn
>>340248723
its a fair question though. its microsoft and they shipped halo mcc as a complete fucking broken mess for like a year. tons of games have been shipping completely broken, MCC was just the shining example of last year.
>>340248425
Near the end here.
I think Patrick was trying to fit in too hard more than him actually calling him an asshole. Still seems pretty rude if they arent that well acquainted, which it seemed like since Nolan was pretty much just having a conversation with Ryan the whole time with Patrick trying to butt in.

Well I can see you will never get a job in this industry.
"Why does your game suck so much?" is hardly a fair question.
It's rude, insulting and he only did it to pander to his fans. You don't gain anything from asking that and it makes Microsoft look bad.

>>340249239
he had just spent about 20 minutes talking to him about Xbox One and how it was doing without Kinect and how indie games were doing on Xbox One and how they were working to integrate Windows 10 with the platform. 20 minutes of your so called "fair questions" that are nothing more than boilerplate softballs. its a completely fair question dude. they shipped what was supposed to be this incredible love letter to Halo, the game that made the Xbox, and it shipped completely fucking broken and for 6+ months it was fucked. someone has to ask him what the fuck is going on.
and did you listen to his response? i'd say you gained something from the question, phil went into way more detail and answered the question in a way you'd not expect most people in his position to. if anything that question made phil look like he knew what the fuck he was doing. that he answered it took just as big a pair of nuts as it did to ask it.
>>340249239
Don't even try to oversimplify this, faggot. When even devs are admitting sometimes that their games ship with loads of issues and bugs, they have to answer the consumer why this is the way it is. This is not about "hurr durr, my subjective opinion thinks these games are bad", this is the issue of $60 products clearly not working as advertised or setting bad precedents to follow.
>>340249397
We're talking about Giantbomb, who unashamedly have butt buddies in the industry and constantly defend and advertise games like Divekick or Bastion for free.
They are so far from impartial journalists it hurts.
>>340249702
you mean like the time they wouldn't allow votes for Bastion to make it on their site wide GOTY lists because they had worked with Greg? that seems fairly impartial to me.
you can say they're buttbuddies with Lang or Brad Muir or whoever, but no one else in their position in games coverage gets those dudes to be as open about their experience making games or their thoughts about the industry as they do. if that means i have to watch Brad Muir watch Brad Shoemaker play Doom, or that i have to hear them make jokes about how Divekick looks like a flash game every now and then, i'll take it.
>>340249864

>associating yourself with a group at all is an implicit bias that should generally be avoided
Like 80% of journalists are registered to a political party. It's impossible to not belong to some group.
Anyway, the problem with that statement is that it implies journalists won't report and dismiss the next group complaining about their disclosure policies as sexist. At this point the media has defined gamergate as anyone either critical of games journalism, reporting that such campaigns are fronts for an international sexist terrorist cell. We know this, because the label continued to stick even after proactively purging the hashtag of obvious trolls, harassers, and sexists. It's not enough to be feminist, civil, nor is it enough to cut off contact from people who aren't. The degrees of separation get larger but the labels keep getting applied.
As a result there's now a portion of their audience that is convinced enough to send bomb threats to any event or panel talking about ethical issues in games journalism. At this point the number of documented death threats sent to gamergate supporters greatly exceeds the number sent from them.
Anyway GG is less active now that most of the original goals have been fulfilled, but overall a bunch of stuff happened that resulted in a net positive.
>>340250000
he answered the question as best he could without completely tanking his business and cutting himself off of a business partner in the process. he even mentioned that in his answer.
>>340250000
You realize that Lang was under NDA to not talk about it right? Christ you naive child, how do you even function?
>>340249702
They openly disclose their relationships with Iron Galaxy. Everyone knows they're friends with Lang. How is that misleading?
It's perfectly fine for journalists to give coverage to their friends, roommates, or girlfriends. They just have to disclose it. This is why GG sprang up
>>340246761
>giant bomb is horrible. Why the fuck do you idiots even follow or watch anything they do?
>They're part of the 'gamers are dead' bullshit. They are idiotic white knights that are willing to defend sjw for anything.
I don't, I followEasy Allies.
>>340250219
So what benefit is there from Giantbomb being so close to them? We don't learn anything new from that relationship.
The same goes for their friends at 8-4, equally frustrating people.

its another 2 hours of Brad stumbling over his words and Dan yelling about how Brad should do something "funny" like stab a guy who doesn't need to be stabbed, you're not missing much.
>>340250605
GB isn't going to take 8-4 to "task" for their translations most likely because they don't feel the same way about them as you do, i.e. they don't think they're censorship (protip: they're not).
>>340248723
Phil might still chat with them, he is a surprisingly cool guy in all aspects. I think he realizes the absolute sideshow MS has been putting on this generation and is doing his best to mitigate the damage, but their is only so much one man can do.
>>340251039
>they don't think they're censorship (protip: they're not)
Yeah let's get into a semantics argument rather than discussing the actual issue.
You friend, would make a great games journo.
last year's E3 was a complete shit show
gonna skip this year's . I think i'm finally over giant bomb, their quality of content has really gone to shit.
every piece of content its either alex, or dan. and both are insufferable pieces of shit the world would be better without.
>>340251203
whats the actual issue? that when they talk to Lang and 8-4 they don't have some hot scoop every time? that sometimes they just shoot the shit and talk about the business or how things are going? you do realize that not every conversation is going to be some huge info dump about something awesome and sometimes its just a developer or team talking about work right?
>>340251375
The issue is that journalists are supposed to be unbiased and when you see literal shit games like Divekick appear on a Giant Bomb game of the year you quickly realize that all you need to do to become a successful video game developer is live in San Francisco and suck journo dick.
how in the fuck is this e-celeb shit still up
>>340251506
Dave Lang lives in Chiraq though
>>340251506
didn't it appear on a personal GOTY list? and not a site-wide one? also

Guy you replied to here.

Still don't understand how I'm implying this.
I do agree that GG was overall a well-intentioned movement distorted by the media, and I'm ultimately on your sidealthough once someone sent a death threat to Anita it was kind of all over.
That's not what I was talking about. Sure, it's impossible not to belong to *some* group, but there's no need, as a journalist attempting to create an impartial report on a subject, to identify yourself with GG, when doing so won't really do you any favors unless you're trying to make a #notallgamergaters sort of argument.
It's not the same thing as registering with a political party, I don't think.
Again, I'm on your side, I just don't think that professionals who want to maintain a neutral standing should take on the associations of an internet activist movement that is so divisive.
I'd wanna talk about this more, but I gotta get sleep. thanks for posting that image, btw, didn't know some of that stuff
>>340253274
>although once someone sent a death threat to
She was claiming do be getting death threats the day she opened her kickstarter, which was over a year before GG existed.
>Sure, it's impossible not to belong to *some* group, but there's no need, as a journalist attempting to create an impartial report on a subject, to identify yourself with GG,
No one was really asking journalists to identify or join the movement. The demands were varied, but membership wasn't one of them.
Anyway have a good night!
