What does anon think of Easy Allies?
>>343620040
they're great but we don't really need a thread about them every day
I really admire Bosman. I wish I was as enthusiastic and creative.
The japs love them because of their overreactions every E3, specifically Michael Huber.
Every reupload of their video on Nico has over 50k views, with the most popular being Gametrailer's panel reaction of E3 2015's Shenmue reveal, Last Guardian, and FF7 remake.
While E3 2016 had far less hype material than E3 2015, the japs still expected a huge overreaction from Huber and crew, which ultimately never really came but still netted 70k+ views on Nico for Death Stranding and other E3 2016 titles.
Great, but I wish Bosman would put his show on the EA channel. It doesn't really make a difference, I guess.
His LTTP stream earlier was lame, too. I hope he actually plays through it and doesn't avoid playing it because of some technicality in the bet's wording.

>While E3 2016 had far less hype material than E3 2015, the japs still expected a huge overreaction from Huber and crew, which ultimately never really came
Their RE7 reaction was up there, not quite as good as the FF7 and Shenmue reactions but pretty good.

guaranteed that he's gonna use the glitch that teleports you to the end of the game in 5 minutes
contract said nothing about glitches or cheats
Hate it when their SJW side is exposed here and there
Brandon Jones should only be a voice without an opinion. He loves shit and he is a shill.
>>343622223
It said complete playthrough, though.
The part where they fucked up is saying "from a new file until the credits".

Guys a genious
am I the only who likes ben?
>>343626468
Ben is great
Damiani I cant stand
>we do fake reactions so kids can feel excitement by proxy
literally the worst youtube content. bosman is great. the rest of them are trash i'll put in front of my nephew while i do something else.
>>343620040
All i want is a chill low stakes online bingo stream from brad and huber and i will be ready to pass into the eternal rest ive been craving for the past ten years
>>343626592
only 0.01% of their content is overblown reactions
>>343626592
>>we do fake reactions so kids can feel excitement by proxy
that's only huber
>>343626592
i dont think its fake
the only super hype thing was ff7 and shenmue
both of which they talked about none stop for 2 years prior to the reaction
>>343626468
Nah, Ben is cool
In fact they're all cool. Except Ian.
>Kyle played Poképark for seven hours straight to 100% it

just because you want more women in games doesnt mean you're an sjw.
they didnt get involved with gamergate. the only time it was mentioned was on an episode of the final bosman where kyle made fun of a writer for saying "gamergate is the end of gaming" (https://youtu.be/smmrw3GL6Cw?t=6m36s)
They approved an episode of Annoyed Gamer where Marcus Beer completely annihilates Kotaku writers for writing shitty outrage articles about how everything is sexist. (https://youtu.be/ZzI-QKfnD8M?t=6m12s)
I dont get why people are having problem with people having different opinions if they never try to force them upon you. If anything these are the guys that would be willing to have a serious discussion about it rather than resorting to name calling.
An SJW in my eyes is an ideologue who constantly tries to get a political agenda across and refuses to look at things in a different perspective. If that's the impression you get of EZA I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you're the one who have to try and see things from different perspectives.
>>343626394
The reason GT went down was because everyone watched them on YouTube.
>>343626815
This.
What is the deal with Ian?
I still used the site up until its death, but I stopped hardcore following everyone at GT during its final years due to college. Where did this guy come from and why is the Easy Update just him talking into a camera about nothing in particular? It's basically vlogging.
Everyone else is great. Brandon will always be that glorious voice. Huber and Bosman pure bundles of jolly. Ben is blandly wonderful in a way I can't really describe. Mike D is super behind the scenes and only ever pops up to talk about the shit he likes, and Bloodworth browses /v/. There's no way he doesn't.
But Ian, and just can't get a handle on or enjoyment from Ian.
>>343627210
Its small things here and there
>kyle trying to shame nintendo for the Kat character in starfox zero when every character in that game was just as simple, but gotta defend the female one!

>mfw Don's Discount Gaming

>>343627336
I'd like to think you can care about female representation in games without being a full blown SJW.
>>343627508
Why would anyone care about that? It does not matter at all, it does not make a game better.
Forcing female representation in games is SJW agenda pushing.
>>343627336
What?
Bosman used Kat as an example because how unresponsive Fox is to anything Kat says but pointed in his vid it wasn't exclusive to that scene
>>343627609
I agree that no one should care, but disagree that EZA has some sort of hidden ideology on the subject.
>>343626592
I take it you haven't watched any of their non-E3 content.
>>343626592
>I don't care about videogames so everyone who does is faking it
wew lad
Don't you have a Giant Bomb thread to be in or something?
>>343627756
Yes but it was also about how she is a girl and all she can do or say is girly related and thats misogyny
I fucking love Frame Trap.
Ben is a pretty fun host and it feels so laid back compared to their main podcast.
>>343627760
I can agree to that, its just that I can now expect any future discussion involving females to have a very leftist view point and its very annoying.
>>343627830
He didn't say it was misogyny - just shit writing. Star Fox Zero has shit writing.
>>343627997
SF0 was just shit all around desu
>>343627997
Starfox never had good writing, it never meant to have any writing at all. Of all things to complain about that game thats the silliest one
>Watching them watching the EA E3 show.
>Titanfall 2
>"Wow that game looks neat."
>Madden right after.
>"Let's continue to talk about Titanfall."
I can only assume literally everyone does this. Why do boring as fuck sports games show up every goddamed E3? Everyone I know grabs something to eat or hits the bathroom during that shit.
>>343627336
But isn't Damiani against the idea of making Link a girl? I am pretty sure he has said so before.
And if you're referring to the recent BotW commentary, I do think he was just referring to Aonuma's responses and their PR/public perception.
At the very least I think that's what he meant when he said fix. Making Link a girl, especially after the trailer and all the demo and everything would be truly stupid. And I really don't think Damiani either thinks they would nor would want them to.
Unless I've gotten it completely backwards.
I hope they do more shit like the open HS tournament, I missed out on it.
>>343628153
Because of EA, they make so much money from that shit so they throw it into every E3 conference but anyone that actually likes videogames just tunes out.
>>343628180
Oh so his line might have been sarcasm?
Hard to tell with his monotone voice but you might be right
>>343628152
Did you even pay attention?
He brings up the writing because Miyamoto said specifically it was delayed to further improve the story, yet it's even worse than 64 plot in every way, which was hardly present in the game at all and you got most of the backstory from the guide and user manual
>>343628082
>inb4 NO STOP! ! Being a reboot that barely changed anything from 64 and shoehorned motion controls no one wanted makes itFUNandCOMFY!
>>343620040
I'd rather watch the cynical Giant Bomb instead.
Easy Allies are Jeff and the guys a year into Giant Bomb, but more like teenagers on ritalin.
Getting hyped for every single game that comes out.
>>343627271
he's fabulous
>>343627830
>and thats misogyny
Is that really what you got out of it? Because to me it really just sounded like he stressed what a silly and extraordinarily flat character she is, while not contributing to any events or any development, and lastly not even getting a single reaction out of any other character.
Actually. In the very next episode Kyle made a skit of a more amusing exchange involving Kat, in which she is even more flirtatious than in the game. But in it the back and forth between the characters made it entertaining.
>>343628479
Its a good balance against /v/ that shits on every single game that comes out.
>>343627271
He used to have a show on GT called Mandatory Update with Elise Willems. I liked it. Easy Update is completely different.
>>343628620

i love ian but these easy updates are shit
Does kyle really hates alttp or is it just a joke

>just because you want more women in games doesnt mean you're an sjw.
said no one supporting gamergate ever.
Journos were/are shitting themselves when people started going against their insanely corrupt and slandering articles(Kotaku especially) and had to whip up something to make GG seem bad.
We want people with good skillsets, not liberal degree trustfund babies who make "deep" text adventures and invent twitter harassment, while e-begging.
The San Fran "indie" is slowly dying off and once Patreon gets closed down for tax-evasion, they will go back and live with mom and dad until they get thrown into the street.
>>343628750
he really does, there an old gt video where he discusses why its shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjru5T9GLOc&t=0s
>you will never troll people as hard as bosman trolled everyone last night
>>343628827
I still cant tell if he is joking or not.
Bosman's "normal people podcast" bit was sort of funny.
I like them, but don't watch all their stuff.
>>343626750
>both of which they talked about none stop for 2 years prior to the reaction
that's the thing everyone just ignores. People like to complain about overreacting for views so they can get that youtube ad revenue (I guess?) but Huber was basically begging for literally anything Shenmue related to be at ANY press conference since before he even started working at GT.
>>343627336
>this is what anti-sjws think a hardcore sjw is
>>343629218
I'd watch the shit out of a "normal people podcast."
>>343622340
While it's not explicitly an SJW stance, I got a little annoyed when Huber started talking about Brexit, saying that the old people of the UK have spited the younger generation by voting to leave the EU.
>>343629669
Yeah he was parroting like an idiot
But then skeletal guy made a very intelligent and sensible comment so it cancelled it out
>all that butthurt on the youtube comments for the lttp video from people taking it too seriously
did people seriously think he'd play it straight?
>>343628750
I get the impression he overblows it for the sake of comedy but he really does just not like it that much.
Complete shit, Gametrailers was good for nothing more than uploading trailers and I can't wait for them to get fired again
>>343629669
well whatever you think about brexit that's true as in young people voted to stay and old people to leave, so i guess you could say they did spite them since the old people won
why would anyone ever bring politics into their video game coverage?
>>343630058
>why would anyone ever bring politics into their video game coverage?
kyle did it as a joke
>>343628750
its kyle
he takes things to extremes for comedic value but he does believe in nearly everything he says
Bosman > Jones = Huber > Ellis > Damiani chatting casually > Casanova > Bloodworth > Moore >>>>>> shit > Hinck > Damiani when on stream by himself
The disparity between the two Damianis is so great that I felt the need to separate them.
>>343630175
damiani really needs a buddy to stream with
him sat there stroking his cats and playing ff14 bores me to death but i feel like i need to watch to support them
>>343628827
>That Knack fight
>Huber: "Love the environments in that game."
>Ben: Yeah. They're very pretty straight lines."
>>343630365
>Huber i dont like the writting in fallout new vegas
>Ben gtfo
>>343630348
I really liked Damiani during the E3 streams since he had other people to talk to and play off of.
But when he's by himself it's just boring. He comes off as awkward and really spergy. That new BOTW video is a good example.
>>343630537
same in a conversation hes great
when hes filling the empty silence on his own hes terrible

>Brad BTFOing Borderlands 2
Would Pokepark been more successful if it had been marketed harder?
Kyle's Dumb Game Mondays of it really made me fall in love with it. But I wasn't even aware of its existence beforehand.
>>343632340
I feel the same way, I think everybody disregarded it as shovelware right away
>>343632340
I think so
Pokepark 2 is one of the best games ever made
>>343632340
I get the feeling that kinda game was destined for bargain bins. If it came out at the height of pokemon's popularity it'd probably get pushed as hard as Hey You Pikachu or Pokemon Snap but since it came out in the midsts of gen 4 it never had a chance.
>>343632340
Whenever I saw it on stores I just assumed it was a minigame compilation, I wasn't expecting it to be a proper adventure game. I mean, it's very obviously made for little kids, but it seems like they made an effort to make an actually good game

it's just shitposting. probably the same guy from earlier that thought they were all massive SJWs because they don't despise women or something.

I watch their reviews and Bosman, but that's it. They have some pretty damn good reviews, just like the old GT did.
>>343630175
I liked Damiani's Mario RPG stream from earlier. I liked it, but I haven't watched his other streams.
I like EZA and the GT crew before it. I've followed them for a long time.
They are unbiased and honest. And a joy to listen to. All of them. With their own unique characteristics.
I wish EZA would stop being shilled so much on /v/ lately though. I like to keep my e-celebs and /v/ separate.
>>343634465

>>343620040
Boring, they seem like nice people but I can't stand listening to them for long, they have precious little interesting conversations and are not in the slightest bit funny, the only person worth listening to is Kyle Bosman and he has his "at home" channel which is fine, just him talking to the camera trumps any mind numbing 2hr lets play. Also their reviews are far too vague and short to be worth watching, there's been a handful of good reviewers who go in depth in recent years and it's hard to go back to the old platitude ridden 5min reviews.
Good reviews with that release regularly - Superbunnyhop

they were talking about an open SFV tournament
>>343628750
Kyle has an obsession with context.
Skyward Sword is his favorite Zelda, but less for the gameplay and more for the focus on the story and telling everyone how Hyrule got to where it is. He's hyped for Breath of the Wild too for the same reasons, and he made a whole video about Nathan Drake's bathroom being mindblowing.
When he talks about his issues with Link to the Past it's always shit like "why do the maidens not have names or characters" and "why are there all those fake swords in the woods?" Things tied to making the story and world believable, not the gameplay.
https://twitter.com/SonDavid/status/743535440574111744
>>343635659
He needs to realize that alttp is nothing more than zelda 1.5
Does he hate all pre SNES era games too
>>343635142
2 Good Boys is brilliant.
>>343620270
Pretty much this. Though I find hilarious that mods here delete threads about this guys when a new podcast is out but Giantbomb threads are allow to exist at the same time.
>I'm only here for Bossman- The podcast.
>>343627271
yeah i don't get what his deal is.acts gay as fuck and makes a sad face when talking about being called one.he has issues for sure...his face twitches.
Apparently even huber is tired of bosman's shit, he said he would stop doing bets if he weaseled out of playing LTTP
>>343627836
i'ts time for us to kiss each others on the lips

I don't blame him there.
I like Bosman but he seems like a pretty sore loser.
>>343628983
>hard as bosman trolled everyone last night
What happen? Did he used a glitch for LTTP playthrough?
I only watch Bossman V Wosniak, I never understood why people watch other people play videogames but for some reason I really like it, I never thought I would enjoy seeing someone playing Tetris.

didn't last episode end with that?
>>343638945
I wouldn't blame him. I find it fun watching Kyle do this shit but you can only do it so many times.
If I recall the bet had a hard time limit so he could still do it "legit" before it runs out but if he just weasels out entirely then I can't say I'd blame Huber at all for not wanting to do it againthough I still want that puppet show.
>>343639312
HAHAHA motherfucker threw a joke about sharing the same bed and then quit the stream...
>>343639270
>>343639312
He's going to end up having to stream through like 90% of the game in one sitting though.
He only has like 3 sessions to beat the game before the 8th.
>>343639929
Did Huber specify the year?
>>343640509
Yeah, 2016
>>343622439
It's just his opinion. You dont have to take it seriously if you dont want to. Ben, on the other hand, has a more unbiased view on things. Btw Brandon's voice is great for reviews
