I’m disappointed by this Quick Look because it doesn’t represent the game very well. The bridge mission Abby is on is one of the first. Once you complete the bridge mission the map opens up more. Several of the missions open more map and new activities. There are also holidays and special events like Stardew! There is a dungeon and combat! Right now I’m (spoiler alert) connecting Portia to another city! I’m just not sure why you would record a Quick Look in the first 2 hours of the game?! It doesn’t represent the game well... If at all.
I'd have to agree. A lot of the time the duders do absolutely no research on the games they're playing, and they tend to not realize what makes a good and informative Quick Look. I've always wanted to think of QLs as "hey let me see if this game would be worth my money and time" and they could be more fleshed out with as much information as possible. 99% of the time they don't even know how much the game costs or what platforms they are on.
I think you guys might be misunderstanding what the quick look is. The quick look is literally a look at the first couple of hours of a game, giving viewers a glimpse at what the game will be when they first pick it up. The quick look was designed so that Giant Bomb's small team could cover more games without having to devote a lot of resources to each game. If you want more in-depth coverage, the podcasts are usually the place to look.
It's so weird to me that Bioware made a Destiny clone without the one thing they're exceptionally good at: a compelling story. If they had made Destiny, but with a Mass Effect level story, it would have set the world on fire.
It would be cool if these games put Disney's characters in new situations, but we just see like mconalds toy versions of these characters. Hercules world feels like a Disney Infinity Playset.
The "Silent Hill HD Collection" Konami released for PS3/360 was such a slap in the face to fans, what they didn't change for the worse they broke instead. If you are a SH fan or are curious about the HD Collection check out Twin Perfect's EXHAUSTIVELY COMPREHENSIVE review (it's an entertaining 2+ hours):
I know it would take a lot of prep, but these jackbox videos would be so much better if everyone had already played a round of each game before they recorded the video. It's frustrating to watch them stumble through the first half/all of a game.
