(I know it's AW but) "Wilder" makes me think Billy Wilder, which as far as I can't remember isn't someone whose work is directly referenced in a Remedy game, but it's the kind of thing that would absolutely fit in one.

My gut feeling say they won't lock the key to his account.

Everything that's been said for far seems to point to the Win10 freebie being a redeemable code. I wouldn't give money until it's 100% confirmed though.

Beth Wilder is a character in Quantum Break.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!

I doubt Jeff even reads Jeff's reviews. I always looked at Giantbomb's reviews as formalities since every big game website has to have them.
They said 24 hours before release

yes, he loved super mario maker
About once a week.
He is a gameplay oriented player. So a game with servicable gameplay and a heavy story focus problably bored him. Remedy tends to make those sorts of games.
The Gerstmann narrative developing in this thread is genuinely pathetic.
When the man is genuinely giddy about certain games nobody gives a damn but when he dares to have a negative opinion about the videogame you're hyped for he's suddenly this jaded and disinterested individual that should stop reviewing games.
The game obviously missed the mark with Jeff. Read the review and weigh it however you want, but the personal attacks coming from people who are obviously over-invested in the game before even playing it are just sad. Take a step back and look at what you're saying here.

Totally agree.
Jeff doesn't like game I like (and in most cases havent even played yet) = Jeff is jaded and hates all games
It's even sillier considering every game remedy ever made had positive but mixed reviews.
Nice try but we all know the score ; )
Ouch.
It's a nice idea I guess but if I want a tv show, I open up Netflix and stream House of Cards.
When I want to play video games, I want to, you know, play.
People dont seem to bother it with MGS tho.
I personally find the MGS cut scenes annoying.
But some will argue MGS has interesting lore which is vital to how the games unfold. Quantum Break is more of an 'epic one off' rather than the start of a series of games isn't it?
Yes no one ever complained about long cutscenes in MGS games...
I don't agree with the implication of the poster you're responding to, but MGS is one of the most gameplay centric titles out there. It having fairly long cut scenes from time to time doesn't change that.
Hopefully, that would mean lots of cheap keys floating around.
If you think everybody would be completely fine with 25 min cutscenes I'm not sure what to tell you.
That is sad, no matter someone's opinion, they shouldn't be personally attacked.
Just finished it. Cool game.
The problem is they don't really add anything to the combat, they just take away your abilities. And the combat without the abilities is just ok. What the game wants you to do is to use the countless red barrels to your advantage.
But you can totally come up with strategies on how to clear a room.

I think that's more to do with the live action scenes themselves, and the sheer length of them. Having watched the entire first episode already, they do definitely drag on, and seem a bit hit and miss in places. At least with normal cutscenes, they're usually only a few minutes long and more integral to the players main story. In QB the live action episodes are sort of like a separate, 22 minute long digression that covers an alternate plot point, or at least a different angle of unfolding events, so it can be little more removed and jarring. I can see why not everyone would have gelled to it.
Or, hear me out, you could try something new! Crazy, I know.
I really enjoyed the episodes and I wish they would do another Alan Wake in this format.

Well that image is essentially cherry picking all the negative reviews, possibly to play counter to another image floating around cherry picking all the positive review. The negative quote from Kotaku to imply they didn't care much for the game, but reading the review, they actually liked it quite a bit despite the flaws, and had high praise for the live action bits and how they are affected by player actions.
