Is that game seriously worth getting if I already have other arcadey golf games like Hot Shots? I've kind of been on the fence about it.

Modern EA and Microsoft are not exactly the shining jewels of video games. There's a shitload of awesome games out there with no way to keep up, people should extra hard on these companies for wasting our time with mediocrity.

Don't be sad that I am gone.
If you're watching the twitch stream they've got a few things going on:

Being filmed by a helicopter which is circling the rooftop
XXXXL gamers playing in black gamestop tshirts
They're showing a game where robbers kill cops

All this is happening as there is an actual police chase in downtown LA. We live in some sort of Earth2.

Got into the Battlefield Hardline beta on PC. I have no interest in the game, so hopefully I can just play the beta, see that it sucks rear end and then not actually buy the game when it comes out.

Probably for the same reason they advertise at airports and sporting events, because there's a lot of people there to see the advertisements.
