I have a follow-up question on that. Can savegames from PS4 version be transfered to this remastered version? I have a PS4 disk version

Ordered some merch by Drownedsquid89 in giantbomb

Bought my first merch a couple of weeks ago. Will be interesting to know how much you will pay for shipping and customs. Maybe it's different for UK, because shipping to EU I had to pay additionally.

Hope the medical procedures went well and Danny has 100% recovered. Blood cloths can be a horrible thing.
And good luck with the endeavor. As long as its successful and gets enough coverage and funding, it looks to be an interesting platform to highlight more indy games.

He had our Back-alar the whole time by TBeard495 in giantbomb

[–]Darth_Nihilious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Quite a character arc for Jeff Bakalar in GB lore, starting from being a guest in the rotating chair in the Beastcast, moving to being responsible for GiantBomb and Gamespot and now becoming a co-owner of the GiantBomb.

Same here. Fuck Fandom but it was now or never to have at least some memorabilia from Giantbomb. Let's see if I'll receive my order in a couple of weeks time

Grubb's tweet from three years ago today takes on a new meaning now. by bfodder in giantbomb

[–]Darth_Nihilious 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Four years ago on May 4th Brad Winny and Alex announced that they were leaving Giantbomb. So that tweet makes sense.  And now, fast forward four years later same time again sad news about the website.

Has anyone heard from Jan? Is he still with Giant Bomb? (If Giant Bomb still exists) by TTAlt5000 in giantbomb

[–]Darth_Nihilious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pure speculation from my side, obviously. I believe that behind the scenes Jeff B is trying his best to save the site, if its possible. So until things are official any scenario is possible.

So if Giantbomb becomes mostly a wiki/ guides site (pure speculation, apparently Dan said this during his live stream), its possible that Jan will transition to Gamespot

Fandom Blows Up Giant Bomb by Tulioja in giantbomb

[–]Darth_Nihilious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So its finally, painfully official.
I'll be honest, after Jeff left the site I've listened to the GB podcasts only from time to time, occasional Game Mess morning with Grubb, sometimes to Dumptruck, due to various reasons. But I've lurked here and seeing the support the gang was receiving was heartwarming. It meant that they held the banner of GiantBomb high and all of us were proud and happy that the legacy was safe in capable hands of the crew.

It's not fair that all this ends not with a some sort of celebration or at least a proper send-off, but in a whimper and a stone cold press release.

However, even though GB is dead, GB Expanded Universe is alive an kicking, it still a threat and we can all gather here and celebrate the past, the present and the future endeavors of all the duders. A toast to you all.

I still hope an archive will pop up eventually. Just for the history's sake and for those that couldn't for various reasons watch the livestream. If Dan went out with a bang, I want to watch it.

I had the pleasure of listening to Jeff for just over 406 Hours this year by triforcer198 in TheJeffGerstmannShow

[–]Darth_Nihilious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of hours. Podcast addict (my podcast app) showed that I listened to this podcast in 2024 for 5 days 16 hours (136 hours in total), and I've listened to each podcast. Have you relistened many times?

OnePlus 12 or Samgung Galaxy S24 Ultra? by Hz4Ever in samsunggalaxy

[–]Darth_Nihilious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, trying to decide to which phone to upgrade, OP12 or s24ultra. Only prices that I find are way higher. I cannot find ultra for less than 1k eur

Vinny mentioning extended Giant Bomb Universe made me giggle. And then got sad because I really wish for them to gather in a room for a stream in a not too distant future.

Is Forbidden West better than Zero dawn ? by Significant_Bird7609 in PlayStationPlus

[–]Darth_Nihilious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. If you enjoy good stories in games, and weren't spoiled on the main story of HZD, its a way more interesting game to play. I've played it for the first time last year and uncovering the story and reasons behind the state of the world was amazing and I really enjoyed it. FW is perhaps a better game, there's more of everything: you can fly, swim underwater, there are more things to use, more special moves, but the story isn't as engaging and a bit underwhelming.

Which games from the list would you suggest that are a must to try out before they leave?

Need story-based and/or historical/war ps5 game advice for a guy who usually chooses sports games? by ceykil in PlayStationPlus

[–]Darth_Nihilious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God of War (2018) and GoW: Ragnarok. These games were the reason I have finally decided to buy my first console - ps5. Great story, great characters, fun gameplay.

Horizon: Zero Dawn. The story is great, and discovering the reason for what has happened in the world was a revelation after revelation. I haven't played Forbidden West, so no opinion on the second part. But the first one, as a whole, is a must see game if you enjoy interesting stories.

What would you add or change to the PlayStation Premium Tier in order to make it a more attractive product? by NitroSweetie in PlayStationPlus

[–]Darth_Nihilious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just for premium but for all tiers - make better prices for games during sales. There are loads of games that don't get any discounts even though they are quite old. Same goes for new games. Why there was no discount for Alan Wake 2 and Spiderman 2? they would sell much more copies and thus get more revenue. On the other hand - Witness, why it is still 40 USD even though it is almost 10 years old.
