why do you think I said all those things about the graphics and the original’s audio

You know Live and Reloaded’s MP was the most played MP on the Xbox after Halo, right?

“toned down the language” is all you got? It controlled better, ran better, and looked better. Far more important than hearing bleeeeeep, which is itself hilarious.

I want to know why we didn’t get Live and Reloaded—at least the graphics. For me, the best of both worlds would have been L&R’s graphics and Conker’s audio.

You don’t have to collect herbs in The Witcher 3. You only need to do it once, aside from that one quest where you have to make chort lures. You can just buy things most of the time. At first, I didn’t like that—I like being able to craft potions—but then I realized that y’know what? It was a heck of a lot better than…

“Gives you an excuse to play the game” seems weird. The game was the best first-person puzzler since the first Puzzler. The only excuse anyone needed was that it’s just that good, surely?

Despite repeating arenas, the encounters are always different. It’s kinda great.

Of this list, Porco Rosso is my favorite, but I haven’t seen Mononoke.

I disagree. I’m very pleased with my 12 GB of Witcher 1 saves. It allows for some super fun expermentation.

Why? Being able to manually save wherever makes things a lot easier?

You should let me write about tinkering some day. ;)

Well, unless I’m wrong, game saves are already limited to the individual user. If you log in on my console, our Witcher 3 saves will be different.

Yeah, that’d be ideal. Profile saves, quick- and auto-saves, and then unlimited manual saves. Blam.

This is why you have autosave slot-specific saves.

I like most of these, but I still think the PC-traditional method of just, y’know, having all the saves in a giant list of all the saves is the best way to go.

The Uplay thing really resonates with me: Back when I pirated games, I did a lot of it because games I’d already purchased didn’t work due to the useless bloatware like Games for Windows Live and uplay. When the law-breaking customer has the better experience than the law-abiding customer, something is very, very…

That’s a significant exaggeration if I ever saw one.

Still kicking myself for not having the recorder on for this segment where I had four or five mutants leaping through doors, wall-running, and climbing on the ceiling all at once. It blew my mind.

Yeah, rocking it on my 970 and it’s finally shining. Kinda like how Crysis took several years to run properly.

Yeah, if you look at id interviews after Rage, someone, I want to say Carmack himself, said as much. Something about how the marketing failed to convey that the game was NOT like Fallout or Borderlands.
