You may hate on gaf all you want, but you really should learn to give credit where credit is due.

Its the only forum where you actually have a steady flow of devs as members and even media journalists too. Its really the largest collection of gamers on the internet, with threads there gathering over 1ml views and 1ml posts. No other gaming forum on the internet can manage that. The actually have a vocie and hold soe sway on the industry. Also has to be one of the most well moderated forums I have ever seen on the internet (though I will admit that in the short time i have been here the moderation here seems to also be on point). 

Indulge me though, try and make a list of reasons why you feel neogaf is bad. 


That's nice and all, but they also happen to be a den of scum and villainy, IE a massive home for trolls and trolling, only a step or so above 4Chan, and they happen to be the source for quite a LOT of bullshit, misinformation, and outright bullshit rumors.

That doesn't make them "important" whatsoever, and any game company inviting some fuckin forum administrators, is a joke. Inviting FANS to your event is one thing. Inviting some fuckin' internet forum trolls? All that does is make them seem more legitimate than they really are, which amounts to about .01%

They aren't a media outlet. Makes sense for them to be denied passes.

Also makes sense for them to deny a simple friendly pass offering, gotta "remain nuetral". As if anyone gives a fuck about the E3 observations of GAF admins.

Well I think they should have taken the offer. Its not like they actually report anything there just a forum.

Probably already been quoted with this info but... quite a bit of gaming journalism's stories stem from GAF. Sole reason I created an account there.

Microsoft are some cheap MFers. LOL They will do anything to manipulate peoples perception rather than just making the games and letting that do the talking for them. LOL

My respect for both of them was raised a bit.


Larry only behaved this way because he's on a payroll and coming off as a dick would get him fired.
