There have been 3 official threads.. for 3 very anticipated titles

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=134857&page=1#  - Rage

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=134724&page=1#19 - BF3

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=134760&page=1#23 - Dark Souls

Each has recieved little attention and they are right around the corner to release

 

I like official threads.. they are a very few oppurtunity to talk about the actual game..something this site doesnt do.

Have we become so less interested in games that we play but only there effect on the market..that we are going to  kill off the only retreat threads we have ????

From what I've seen, the only threads that get a good amount of posts here are sales, elimination game threads, flamebait, religion and politics. I learned that if you want to talk about games, you have to look somewhere else like Neogaf or even Gamespot.

The demon's souls official thread was ridiculously popular in here. But now you are right.

In the last six hours we have recieved close to 20 threads if not more! Official threads only last as long as people keep up with them. Did you see that thread with almost 20,000 post in it! Or the RPG thread. That guy keeps on with it! People have lost the meaning of the official thread I think?


Thats not really a official thread... kinda but no.

If the forums were busier there would be more people in those threads most likely.

Ugh. Yes.

I'm contemplating quitting each and every day, but I still have good friends here, which is why I don't.

I know those are not , but I was using them as an example. Like the lost guys tv elimination thread. He is in there all day long keeping tabs and with in a week he is at what? 600 post! People do need to have only one thread though. Maybe the mods can lock them if people find another recent one that was made with in 2-4 weeks of each other?

 

@Mirson...I hate Neogaf. Moby games, and gamestop, and ign. (forums is what I am hating here :) the actual sites are fine, other than neogaf. Gamestop and ign good for reviews of everything, moby games good for information.

@Xen.....why not just use both? I am on Ew.com , ropeofsilicone, boxofficemojo, imdb, tvbythenumbers, etc. all day as well. Why do people think they have to just be on one or the other?



Not healthy for one thing.

I like neogaf since the users there are friendly, passionate and answer your questions fairly quick. If you ask something here, you won't get an answer until four hours later. I also like that Neogaf has very little to no trolling or fanboys, as well as no annoying ads.

I'm on GameSpot right now. lol. They have a Forza 4 official thread which has reached over 70 pages. Where's our Forza thread?
