I'm actually really liking how focused and games-oriented this discussion has gone.

If anyone accused anyone on GAF of disliking Gies just because of the collective hivemind, just point them to this segment.
That's why Brad is leaving. He just doesn't feel like he fits the current company culture.

Me too. I really like these honest, genuine discussions about gaming. Feels like how I talk with my friends.

(that said, he is sporting some snazzy glasses and nice matching shoes)
But he's also making a lot of good points about most of the talking points in this segment.
What'd he say? I just tuned in.

GG guys, I didn't think I'd stick it out. I have work on Thursday so I'll probably bow out early tomorrow.
Is this about him criticizing microsoft? Because Jeff is backing him up and I don't see any hate for him here.

He is making points, I don't know if I would go so far as to say they are good though.
He's just being so self-serious and negative about everything.

A minimum of 2 .gifs are required in order for the thread to feel complete.
I guess he hasn't changed at all since the RebelFM days.
Yeah I don't know. Gies brought some good points, found myself agreeing with him.

Thats because he's an asshole and always has been. I didn't like him from the first time I ever listened to him on rebelfm.

Solid show, Gies didn't do anything egregious or whatever, but his quiet seriousness somehow magically reigned in the incredible power of the goofy people around him. As someone who actually enjoys Greg at his Greggy-est, it was a bit of a bummer.
Brad is actually leaving??
It's about the reason why MS was scared to make Crackdown campaign always online for the destruction stuff. He said that the backlash from XB1 Always Online scared them from doing it.

Solid first night. See ya tomorrow, duders!
Agreed. He definitely was making some sense. That said, his assessment of Crackdown was off. The multiplayer still has the cloud destruction, and the single-player was never meant to have it. They can't spin up servers for destruction for every single-player instance of the game. That was never promised, so I don't get his narrative of development changing on the game. I think the game just had a rough and rushed dev cycle, and the cloud tech is pretty new stuff.
Dude, I really hope you don't have to work.

It's about him being a boring, annoying, uninsightful, irritating, unknowledgable, unlikable, unbelievably unpersonable video games...person.
[EDIT - ...with good shoes and spectacles.]
Okay, then what do you disagree with him on? That E3 should treat it's public attendees better? That The Xbox One X wasn't messaged as well as it should have been? That Sony should have done better this E3? Most of the other panel members agreed with him.
no way, I don't believe it.

He's always been an obvious MS fanboy from what I remember. He's basically blaming gamers for taking the always online garbage away.

I guess I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't speak up against posts like this for other journalists. Gies has been someone I disagree with pretty often, but this post went too far.
