Also need to know if the physical PC version just comes with a steam code because fuck me actually buying the physical PC version would be cheaper than buying on steam. ;_;

A suggestion: Could we at least have a soft rule against posting links to other threads where people are shit posting GB? It doesn't reflect well on this thread if the GB defence force shows up from here, and during E3 that almost got this thread banned for a month over the Gametrailers bullshit. It just serves to derail threads into petty bullshit.

The mods won't care if people start posting in comment sections outside of GAF, they seem to very much care if a community thread brigades other threads. That's my point. You already see people from this thread in the NES thread now, it's not a good look.

The Gametrailers thing was so dumb I can't even be bothered to recap it. Basically a useless slapfight between GB fans and GT fans over reactions to the Sony conference that got several threads locked.

On the one hand, I like the gallons of salt that Jeff seems to create every once in a while.

On the other hand, the GT shit was so goddamn stupid. It was bad on both sides.

Shenmue III was announced and the world was split into two.

Anyway, yeah. I said in the NFS topic I don't like playing defense force, but I also don't like people being wrong and bashy over seemingly nothing. Balancing those ideas is...tough.

As a rule of thumb, I find not going into defense mode for people is good, because those people can clearly defend themselves.

.....however bathing in the salt is enjoyable.

The funny thing is that Jeff's probably the most forgiving of EA racing games compared to most other games journalist(not counting the serious racer fan ones that aren't going to give NFS the time of day anyways)

In the case of random GAF topics, though, they wouldn't (sans Brad in this one). And maybe that should be hint enough to me to not bother, but correcting ignorance is something I'd like to think of as a general positive nearly 100% of the time.

But more often than not on forums it turns into shit-slinging, and that helps nobody. So maybe I believe in a more idealized reality than the one in which I actually exist.

Jeff is definitely part of the drive club at EA. Lest we forget, Burnout Paradise is oft-cited as his game of the generation.

Remember when they discovered Valve cancelled paid mods right in the middle of their discussion of paid mods? Great moment.

Got a timestamp? I vaguely remember that happening.

Are some poor souls trying to argue FO4 looks better than Witcher 3? Thats some 'stripping down naked and running into the middle of a highway' type crazy

I mean, they're erratically bringing up how the writing in Pillars of Eternity is shit compared to Fallout. :p

I played Witcher 3 for 30 hours and 90% of my experience are going around towns or settlments that all look the same and using a batman voice to talk with pre-historic people wearing kitchen rags that either act like they don't like to talk or they don't have the mental ability to talk.

This is amazing.

Here is a shot of Witcher 3 at max setting 4K. Who want to count the polygon sides now?
People talk about Fallout 4's indoor texture, but they don't realize how pulled back Witcher 3's camera is.
The base game of Witcher 3 is nothing more than a glorified up-res PS2 game with grass mod.
And the core gameplay is simply connecting the dots on a segmented map.
No exploration, no role playing, no character creation, it just needs some trinket collecting to be the perfect Assassin's Creed wannabe.
