Quick Look: Trine 2

@PulledaBrad said:

@Xeirus: What gives you the right to call someone with a different opinion than yours a moron? Dont like the bitching, dont read the comments. Could say the same thing about me, dont like the content dont watch. Alas I do enjoy the content when Patrick is not involved, video wise. He is the best thing that has happened to the site as far as well written articles and news goes. Does a fantastic job. I even appreciate his reviews. What I cant stand is his personality and it comes across as grating in the videos and bombcast. So, instead of just boycotting a site I like, I am choosing not to support it with my dollars. Didnt say for them to fire or get rid of the man, so your last paragraph tirade is a little out of place. See, I did all that without calling you or the people that have differing opinions than me a name.

Wait, you mean like this?

Goddammit. I am not re-upping my sub until the video to Patrick ratio goes way the fuck down. Knowing hes gonna be in the end of the year podcasts only reinforces this decision.

Now compare those two posts of yours, had you had a calm, adult, tone in the first one I doubt we would be having this conversation. Instead you flipped shit like a little kid and you attracted the attention of someone who doesn't like "morons" who throw a tantrum.

By all means do NOT throw you money away on a site that you don't enjoy, but it's clear you do enjoy it so either stay and enbrace what's going on or sit there and shut up. Hell maybe even write them a letter, you do realize they actually read those right? But make sure you use your adult voice in it and not the kiddy shit you have on here.

@PulledaBrad: regardless of your motivations , you clearly state that you are voting with your dollar .. if werent trying to make some sort of statement against patrick , you wouldnt be defending this position ..so stfu

i think the giantbomb fanbase gets more rabid and disgusting by the day , and if anyone has to be TOLD to leave , its you shitheads. i used to be offended that during live events our comments went mostly unheard , but its perfectly acceptable now.

Grow the fuck up giantbomb community. blah blah blah blah blah *fuel the vicious cyccly more by raging at the ppl raging too much*

lol Brad the Trine master over here geez haha.

@Xeirus: And where in there did i ever once call ANYONE a name. I used strong words, yes. Ive said it before and made a blog post about it. Of these feelings I have about not liking where the site is going, video wise. And no I wont just "sit there and shut up" Thats an insane idea.

@envane: I clearly state...Less Klepic in the video segments. I dont like him in the videos, ergo since his presence is in most of them these days, I will not re-subscribe. So no reason for me to "stfu". If rabid and disgusting you mean people voicing concerns about something they dont like in regards to something they truly enjoy? You are dead wrong. But, if you mean rabid and disgusting in the way that people bring it up I.E. calling Pat names and trying to put him down, then you are correct.

I mean, not everyone on here is perfect. But there comes a point where a personality is irritating and not appreciated by some. Lets look at the infamous "Earth Defense Force" QL. All Ryan and Pat do in that video is rag on Bodega. And yes, its for humors sake "ha ha pick on the intern" but it was damn unprofessional of Ryan and Pat (especially since he was fairly new at the time). If Ryan had continued that type of behavior, I would have complained about that as well. But he hasnt. Patrick still has a grating personality that I dont see being changed for a long while.

In a way, I wish they didn't bring subscriptions into the mix. It gave all of us that subbed a sense of entitlement, that we had something over on the guys, some sort of "I pay yo bills!" sway over the sites. I kinda wish it was just the 4 guys back in Saucilito, away from everyone else. Site felt more personable then. Not just a long bank of "desks".

I will ignore most of what you said because you don't seem to understand that people see your attitude the same whether you call a name or say fuck 50 times. It's all the same stupid, annoying, childish rage we see from everyone else. Guess what, it's WAY more annoying than Patrick will ever be.

As for the above quote, I am subbed for the next 3 years or so in advance and I have absolutely zero entitlement outside of just wanting you haters to shut the hell up. You can voice your opinion in much better ways than "fuck, no more Patrick, fuck fuck" It's completely ridiculous that you even think that's acceptable.

Lastly, if this site had stayed small and kept the 50 fans it had then they wouldn't be able to do any of the things you see today. Why do you think subs even exist? Your original post does nothing but make this site look like garbage with children spewing filth over a single GB employee who literally has done nothing outside of being in "too many videos". You try to justify your hate with all these reasons but at the end of the day it's still hate and look what it gets you in return, not a damn thing. Patrick isn't going anywhere, I don't want him to, and neither do a lot of people. But I can definitely say I want you to go elsewhere.

Edit: Now I'm done with you, and this post. Don't bother responding because I won't.

@Xeirus: whats it like to be so arrogant and self righteous?

@Crake: That's because Ryan, and to some extent, Patrick, are bad at videogames. It would be hard not to get mad, after a while.

Still love 'em, though.

Oh my god this game is gorgeous. Also I like how the general mentality of ryan and patrick is to annoy the hell out of brad :D

I loooooove it when Ryan and Patrick troll Brad in co-op games. Jeff too, for that matter.

This was so great.

60 fps scares me.

Edit: This game looks fucking incredible.

Being a dick the quicklook.

I think from now on co-op games need to be rated not by how fun they are buy by how badly you can screw over the other players.

Game looks gorgeous. I should reinstall Trine. I got to a part where the game glitched out and I couldn't progress, and for whatever reason I just decided 'fuck it' and uninstalled it. I was really enjoying it too. Weird.

The game has a saccharine look to it (to paraphrase Brad). Well said Brad. This game looks really cool; it would seem like a really great game to t for kids. The visual quality is superb.

As a subscriber, I would be down for more 60 FPS videos!

Just sayin'!

Loved Trine could definitely play some more of it.

the description for this video hurts me on the inside.

awwww :( patrick made it skip the pretty cut scene

dang nabbit, kleppek! :P

Someone give Patrick his meds . . . he's a little hyper.

Meh, the trolling in this video goes to a point where it didn't really seem like it was funny anymore, just prohibitive to actually like... showing the game itself. Patrick was being a bit of a spaz.

TNT of pure co-op aggravation, plz!

Gosh. Half way through that it felt like I was listening to my parents arguing. I felt so uncomfortable. Or you know... like when you're at your friends house and him and his wife start yelling at each other. I think Brad and Patrick need marriage counseling.

"Bosshole", GOT to use that in a game!

Haha people always find something to bitch about.

@JayHayabusa: No, it was a joke and if you didn't get it you need to play Trine. With friends.

It's kind of like watching them play D&D. There's usually someone that runs around trying to do the most ridiculous things they can think of, an exasperated DM, and another guy who just doesn't want anyone to flip over his mom's table.

Ryan and Patrick being dicks....Brad TRINE 2 HARD

Agreed. Griefing is funny if you can still make progress while one player is just being a dick (like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii), but there were times where Brad and Ryan were basically sitting there, waiting for Patrick to actually help them get to the next area, but instead he just kept swinging his hammer over and over. If Patrick didn't waste so much time, they might've been able to show more of the game.

I'm fine with Patrick doing it during a TNT or something, but Quick Looks are usually in the 20-30 minute range, and I don't appreciate Patrick essentially slowing down progress in what is already a pretty short video of the game.

Patrick is the worst co-op partner lol

That last troll was priceless.

Such a major DB

This is my reaction.

wow this video on my boxee box at 60fps looks amazing

Brad, Ryan and annoying child.

What are you talking about? You're not in the quick Look.

I want the "-of the year" awards to include Strapline of the year.

Can't say I even remember the first game but after seeing that quick look I am definitely impressed.

This brand of shitty wordplay is why I signed up with GB.

Just finished the first Trine last weekend in preparation for this, but now I don't have the money for it :( Looks fantastic. I just had a thought though: If the story of Trine says that the three adventurers touched the Trine and got fused together as one person, then how come, in co-op, you play as all three seperately?

Edit: The first game DID have bosses. Several of them.

One of the best QLs in recent memory. Patrick and Ryan were hilarious. Poor Brad ;)

Damn this game is beautiful, seriously this game looks amazing.

I also hate Patrick and would like others to know how many different ways I hate him. Even though this grieving has happened in videos in which Patrick was not present, he really has no bushiness doing that exact thing. Honestly, if he's going to joke and goof around in every video like the rest of the staff does, he should just leave this site.

I didn't play the first one much at all but this looks pretty cool. Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime

@PlasmaBeam44: While I dont hate the guy, I do agree his attempts at grieving and being funny in general are abysmal at best.

that being said, I got what I needed to out of the quick-look in spite of his tiring antics, so there isn't much need for complaints here. The game looks really amazing, and im glad its coming to XBLA..

My eyes have been raped.

I'm not generally one to say this, but the trolling is dope in this video hahaha. Patrick rocks!

@Shane: 60fps is messed up? It's how it should be.

I've downloaded and watched the video in HD every possible way, the framerate is 30 for me.... The only way I got 60 was the mobile download version... I went and downloaded this in HD just to see it HD and 60 fps but just got the HD, and was pretty disappointed, especially with how little bandwidth I have left for the month.

"Bring it on, shitty wizard."
