FYI Since you two don't seem to have engaged with Giant Bomb previously. This is exactly what Giant Bomb did NOT do. Most of their new games video coverage was their Quick Look series that was typically 10-20 minutes from maybe a few different points in the game.

I don't engage. I read or watch. If it looks like engagement I close.

I apologize. It doesn't seem like you two have watched or read anything from the folks at Giant Bomb.

Have a nice day.

Well I haven't. And with the deluge of "video content" these days I'm afraid I'm not tempted.

Yeah, Quick Look’s are what brought me to Giant Bomb initially. They aren’t reviews and they take pains to not spoil too much of the game. They give a good feel of what the actual gameplay looks like, which is almost never available from the game trailers, and which I find is hard to get a good mental picture of from written reviews (especially short ones).

Just watching their quick looks introduced me to so many different game genres that I’d never tried before. It’s a shame they stopped doing those a couple years ago.
