Anyone need manuals?

Yeah you get those odd developers like CD Projekt Red who still give you manuals in full colour. Capcom give you greyscale manuals but it's better than nothing. Epic Games, NetheRealm etc however, just give you a small A4 piece of paper. A small section about the game (maybe 5 lines long) and the rest is about connecting to Xbox LIVE and some Health and Safety wank.

I have an issue with this because I'm buying the full retail game. That's cool if buy games on Steam and get an additional PDF manual but for us that buy the retail game; that's why games are full priced, because they are supposed to give us manuals. But with the game gaming is nowadays, you pay full price for a lazy A4 manual and content cut everywhere from the game and repackaged as DLC or stop you from using online with online passes.

I love CD Projekt for saying "Thanks for buying our game regardless". Consoles can have Witcher 2 with additional free expansions and PC users can get it free too. So much respect for that company.

However, they didn't list all of those (including the conker code) and I had to write those long-ass codes on the note section so I didn't need to check the internetz everytime I'd play :#

I can't remember what the cheat code was but one of them was along the lines of WESLDERSBENCH of something. That was the only time I ever used the notes section.
