He'll probably be more about low profile tyres and convertible roofs for the female cars that anything the brings the game into the 21st century.
I only learned that now.
Next you're gonna tell me German's aren't actually naked outside in Germany, aren't you?
While coincidentally announcing that Goodyear have just signed a massive sponsorship deal, of course.

Looks like we get to add someone to the blacklist...
Greg Dyke was offered 50 gallons of Castrol GTX but refused to have his car serviced as it might be seen as a conflict of interest.

I finished witcher 3 today after a long pause and ENDING spoiler:
About the game itself I would say it's the best RPG I've played, loved the quests, even the sidequests were often full of intrigue or showing of weird monsters.
The story and the dialogue was also one of the best things with the game, with much better voices than the earlier games in the series (though dialogue choices is something witcher 1 had better but the voices easily made it much worse of an experience overall)
The game also has some wonderful vistas and the graphics is top-notch, sad part was that I had to play almost the whole game in 30fps on medium until I got my 970 just a week ago, still don't understand how fierce the downgrade brigade was before release.
And of course there were a few cons, mostly it was the movements, seriously Geralt should be called Geralt the Tank instead of Geralt of Rivia.
The patch that added more responsive controls made this much better though, but it didn't fix it fully.
Conclusion would be that it's probably the best RPG I've played, and will probably contend first place on my GOTY list with MGSV.
It was real nice seeing everything going well for the people involved after, Geralt got his peaceful life with Triss, Ciri got her witcher life and Temeria became a vassal of the empire.

I would, but there's no discount
What I played of it on a friend's PS4 was really fun, especially with 4 players.
So I was looking for some post-apocalyptic game to play... Silly Steam tags aren't that funny when you are seriously looking for something lol
Anyway, I still have Metro LL Redux in my library and the screenshots are intriguing. But I remember I quit playing Metro 2033 Vanilla after some minecart segment or something, really not into that kind of "it's dark and something will jump at you" horror stuff. Somebody wanna comment on their experience with Last Light in terms of horror?

He just made a mistake, he's given a lot of games on GAF, can't you cut him some slack?
Maybe it's you who should be on a list.
They almost always have 5 or 6 games.

Beam zapper zero? That is definitely a dlc weapon, buy to win type.
Or do you mean some other weapon?
Anyway, you don't have to use any of those if you feel they are unfairly powerful.
a check didn't arrive?
EDIT: read the articles and now I understand the situation, first is a quick write-up after the first showing at microsoft press conference and the second is after they've played a demo and doesn't think it's that great, sorry for posting the shitpost before I had read both.
Bunch of extras.

Hey 6 days is a long time in video game critique land
Saying that the first post is paper thin on details and is talking about what seems like the brief showing during the MS briefing and then the second is one more in depth that covers a lot more about the games systems, mechanics and themes in more detail. Impressions come from an actual demo and not a stage showing so what does this tell us? Content showed off at pressers aren't representative? Hands on demos better show off a game, flaws and all? Kotaku really shouldn't create headlines based on small snippets of footage? A combination of these and more besides? Or that all game promotion is a sack of shit and that waiting until the game is out and make your judgements from there on out. Why has 'Pre-Alpha' become this years' nom de guerre for gameplay trailers? Do publisher really think their potential customers are stupid or is this a way of saying 'hey this shit could change you know so don't hold us for account when the final products doesn't hold up to this'. Don't mind me I'm going back to my grumpy corner *hrmphhh*.

Well MS Conference demo wasn't that different from what he described in second article. I never thought that MS Conference demo was amazing. Cover, dash through time, shoot. beside time laps inside building it was more-less game we played 100 times before. So it is really strange to see 180 turn when honestly MS never showed mind blowing footage of QB.
Well it is pretty much a subjective matter to begin with, I had the opinion that it looked kinda repetetive and boring on the showing but for everyone having that opinion it was like 15 who thought it looked amazing in the neogaf thread for the press conference.

I trust them in world building, fun writing, and to make an interesting game.
I don't know if I trust them to make a mechanically sound game, though. Both Max Payne games they did were essentially Bullet Time shooters that are 6-8 hours of the same gameplay (or, in the case of the dreams in MP1, terrible deviations of it) but wrapped in a great pulp noir atmosphere full of nonsense and great one liners.
AW was better in its narrative but its gameplay is also the weak link to that franchise, too. By the end of the game I was just hauling ass from one spotlight to the next, avoiding the tedium of its combat to see where Remedy's Twin Peak-Pacific Northwest , Stephen King influenced adventure was going to end up.
Which, given how American Nightmare wraps up, was not very fulfilling either.
So while i do love their games and want nothing more than Remedy to continue to do their thing, nothing from that article strikes me as unusual or out of place given Remedy's pedigree. If anything, it just confirms that QB is as much a Remedy game as I want it to be. And i look forward to picking it up for dirt cheap and loving it despite its glaring flaws 6-12 months after its release.

I played through Contradiction which I won in Tizoc's giveaway last week. It turned out to be a pretty good experience. In a way it's kind of like a Phoenix Wright game where you visit new locations, gather evidence, talk to all the characters about the case and then find contradictions in their statements. The presentation of the story is quite interesting. You have about 6 hours to determine whether the death of a local girl was a suicide or a murder. Each chapter of the game lasts one hour (not real time) and you have to successfully complete the objectives of the previous one to continue. And the story opens up the further you get along with more locations and people to interview. The acting is deliberately campy and slightly cheesy and it invokes the FMV games of the 90s.
The biggest complaint I had was that the control interface is quite clunky since it's keyboard only, but you do get used to it after a while. It was a Kickstarted game and it feels like they ran out of money near the end so some side story threads are left hanging. The developer mentioned that he would like to make a bigger game of this kind which would cover everything he couldn't in this game. I hope he gets a chance to do that.
On an unrelated note, I feel a little sad to see Enhanced Steam slowly lose functionality on Firefox. I totally understand the reason JS can't update the FF version anymore and I wouldn't want him to feel obligated to. It's just that ES has become such an integral part of the Steam experience for me that it's unfortunate to see it fade away. And yes, I know, I should switch to Chrome. This almost makes me want to.

Why are you slapping that re...pink-headed cutie?! You meanie!
Watching this now - looks awesome. Looks to be the same level that was shown at E3, but showcasing more of the weapons. Digging the open maps and vertical movement.
