Not hyped for storytime with Pele?! FUCK GB
Giantbomb is dead to me. Long live the Bosman/Huber/GT Crew era. They know what people like us like and what we're actually excited about.
Wish I had watched the GT stream live, that would have been nuts when you know the final bets stuff they had and Bosman's rant on FF7 on the last Final Bosman.
Pathetic.
"journalists should like what I like"
hurp derp derp
Games journalist should show sign of life during games being shown at E3. News at 11.
That's embarrassing.
Good lord. Act like professionals, or at the very least, grown men.
Gross reactions to pure joyful passion. Vile cynicism. I'm glad I don't value repression and shame over emotional honesty.This.
I feel embarrassed for them.

Sunrise, Florida reaction to The World of FF and FF7 remake

Huge pop when Nomura's name comes up.
No, games critics exist to voice their opinion on things, and those who enjoy those opinions follow them. I feel like Giantbomb very much go out of their way to say a lot of what they do is not "journalism". They are personalities with opinions. Would you like to watch fake enthusiasm? I feel like the GB guys have been very vocal that they all think shenmue is shit and that they would rather see square spend resources elsewhere instead of seeing time and money spent on ANOTHER remake (a larger issue with the games industry currently).
They put the fanboys in the crowd so you know when shit is hype now at E3 guys...it's not giantbombs job to start flipping out like pewdiepie to keep you entertained. There are other streams for that.
People freaking out like that is bizarre. There's nothing wrong with getting excited but acting like a 5 year old who just opened their birthday present is ridiculous, especially when 5 year olds have the insight to wait until they actually get something before go crazy, not just the promise of something that might be good coming in 2-5 years.
This quote always comes in handy:
I love Giant Bomb to death and I'm definitely not expecting any of them to jump around like crazy when Shenmue/FFVII/TLG gets shown, but the amount of cynicism thrown around in the Sony post-show was ridiculous even by their standards.
About Huber, god forbid that he's genuinely excited about a game that he waited fifteen years for! When the first trailer for the new Star Wars movie was released, you saw a bunch of online movie critics post their reaction vids showing how much they're excited for the new Star Wars (tears and all) and rarely someone called that "embarrassing" or "unprofessional". So what's the big deal here? If anything it shows that he truly cares.

is there an archive of the giant bomb talkovers? I'd like to watch at least the Sony one, and possibly some of the MS one. Their post conference wrap up was pretty good - they were clearly positive but they always want more. So I'd like to see how they reacted in the moment, to things like TLG, Horizon, FFVII and Shenmue
Bosman and Huber, + 1 sub
Giant Grumpy Grandpas (GB), - 1 sub
There's no right or wrong way to react to anything, just so long as you're not a cynical bastard about everything
Yeah I have to say I also grew out of this somewhat sycophantic period during press conferences about 5 years ago. I can understand the reactions to an extent but I'm never like that anymore, seen it all before. I can't imagine what I would be like if I had gone to every E3. I have no issue with people reacting that way but can't understand why people get offended that others don't share their child like awe...And if anything I am more passionate about gaming now than I was 5 years ago.
I didn't know what I was watching at first with the FFVII announcement. Thought maybe a new movie in homage of the original game or something like that. I didn't believe until Remake shown across the screen. I mean, after the PSX burn who would allow themselves to believe?
wow.. what happened here? Lots of grey names....
i came for gifs.

Love this thread. Love today.
Ive been a fan of GB for a while, but their constant indifference and cynicism is really depressing. I think watching their livestream made me just turn the page on them for a while. To be in such a constant state of crochety indifference all the time. I respect them but man...

I know they are beloved on here, but I'm with you. There is so much shit in the real world on a daily basis that is so fucking depressing and cynical. The last place I want to get more of it is watching stuff about my hobby, that I actually enjoy.

I'd post my reaction gif but I'm pretty sure it's just a video of me on the ground crying.
