You're right, he does like himself a mindless grind. Like Marvel Heroes or something.

i kinda know what you mean but I played all three hours (including the one where I had to get up at 4am) and thirst for more. every hour completely flew by. the demo at least is an incredible piece of game design and it's so weird what nintendo's doing with all the stuff surrounding it.
except the lack of voice chat i TOTALLY get that. jesus christ i hate people with microphones on every game except tf2
This is always so dumb
Their opinion is not necessarily a bad one for them to personally hold - a guy choosing cod for goty might not align with their video game preferences at all and that's totally cool. So... just don't follow that person's reviews then? End of story.

Review threads are among the worst on NeoGaf, especially prerelease. As excited as I am for the Witcher 3 and how much my tastes differ from Jeff's, I'll still never understand the emotional response to review or opinions.

Jeff is the anti-me when it comes to taste in games.
He only likes lame and dorky games, I only like cool and hip games.
EDIT: GO AND PLAY YOUR CALL OF DOOTY JEFF LOLOLOLO

I'm still pissed facebook doesn't let me say that my hometown is Neo-Tokyo
it's real to me dammit
they're such trash. Internet man doesn't agree with what I think this game will be like even though I haven't played it yet
I guess, I just jumped in during the third session and by the time I was tired of playing that map it was only 35 minutes in. I don't love the way the gyro controls work (why does the stick only offer horizontal movement, can't it just be used for grand sweeps in any direction with the gyro for precision?) but I adapted by the time I was just bored of it. With the way they're handling the online rollout there's literally zero chance I ever look at the game before August, and I just don't expect any community worth speaking about to last the summer.

Those games do give you the option to turn it off.

Do review threads ever go smoothly?
I loved what I played of splatoon but the voice chat stuff is dumb and I'm someone who immediately mutes everyone.

Jeff is a man of refined tastes. Terribly refined.

There were two maps in the beta!
if they had to implement voice chat i would have mute default because muting everybody every 3 minute round would be a major pain in the ass. but then you get problems with people not opting into voice chat and you just speaking into the void.
it's the party/friends list voice chat stuff I don't get. that makes complete sense to me to implement, you're not going to friends list people you don't want to chat to, presumably. maybe they're waiting for their mobile whatever the hell they're doing to go through, I don't know.

It's turning into the Giant Bomb State of the Union in there and I'm just gonna repeat my prediction some mods are gonna start nuking that thread.
It's at the point where the seriously dumb and the ironic posts collide and I start to have problems telling them apart.

Patrick definitely put in an honest effort into games he traditionally did not expect were to his tastes. He played Divinity as mentioned, Fire Emblem, Dragon Grandpa, 999, went back to retry Dark Souls after initially not being sucked in, Witcher 2, Monster Hunter, and those are just the game I can remember because he ended up liking them. There are things he tried outside his comfort zone that didn't click as well, one that I can remember off the top of my head is Etrian Odyssey, but there are others.
Though you can't criticize Jeff for not playing games outside his normal likes when he literally has now put time into both a Witcher game and a Souls game in the same year. Not liking something is totally different from not trying it.

Have people accepted that different people have different tastes?
If it's a game people are pretty indifferent to, they do. If it's a game that has an insane amount of hype they rarely do. People pile on the one dissenting reviewer (Uncharted 3, never forget) in threads like that, and if it gets universal praise people who dislike the game will jump in to start shit.
I have no way of predicting what will happen really but i just hope you're dead wrong because god damn is that game fun

well clearly the reviewers brought in their own biases and past experiences into their review so it's not a pure representation of the objective quality of this title
obviously there's only one objectively correct numerical value that represents this game's intrinsic value, so everybody else is wrong.
The base game deserves better, I just don't understand how you build and keep an online community with such sparse content and missing fundamental features like playing together in a party.

Chinner is definitely joking but I can understand if you don't recognize the poster it can be hard to tell the difference.
"If Jeff leaves maybe that means there is going to be a spot open for a new reviewer! Surely people will love my opinions!"
That's my not so secret idea on why people hate Jeff and want him to leave. They just really love the smell of their own farts and can't wait for everyone else to get a whiff.
That's the true secret behind review threads. A bunch of people fartin into a can and then huffing from it.

The funniest part about this, is that he never even said that it's bad.
He literally just said it's not a game for him. I love the internet. I hate the internet.
What do you mean with "parody"? It's the only site I trust.
Did you know that Jeff gave Twilight Princess an 8.8 in 1956? How can anybody trust this guy?

I'm trying to remember how my early tf2 experiences were like, but then again, that was... jesus, like 7 years ago at this point.
tbh i've never really used friends list that much or party-based stuff, but i'm a pc gamer and an outlier regarding multiplayer shooters so *shrug*
I do enjoy when Jeff talks about back in the day at GS they broke their backs trying to "objectively" review games and figure out complicated formulas and weightings to come as close as they could to a neutral perspective (whatever that was) and people would still just automatically look at a score they didn't like and go "whatever you hack press sneak fucks".
yeah, re-reading it the jeff bit does give it away
Getting a video of Vinny with this game pleases me.

I'm at this point with a lot of discussion on or in regards to GB.
Yeee. Good choice.
The Bayo 2 thread was pretty fucking hilarious because of how many perfect scores it got. People who were outside Platinum's culture were confused as fuck and people inside were losing their minds from the hype.
If Jeff not liking the game means coverage plans got shifted to GBeast for Wither 3 then I would think people would be pleased with that. Especially if Vinny decides to have one of his come watch me play this game at work on stream because I can't play it otherwise streams. Give me as much video of Vinny playing Witcher 3 as possible.

I decided to pop over to that thread because of you guys talking about it, holy fuck what a mistake that was.
They're acting like he already reviewed the game!

Jeff's tweet was the first major negative statement about the game, and in Review Threads (especially pre-release review threads for major games in which most reviews are positive) there is always a "Burn the witch!" mentality that dominates as soon as a negative opinion surfaces.
