Kinect is a subject unto itself. And it really speaks of Microsofts biggest problem. Their ongoing and stubborn desire to market things that are proven not to be wanted, thinking they can still bully the customer into wanting it.

This goes back to the days when they were the undisputed king of the hill with Windows, and could do anything they wanted. This was the design philosophy behind Vista. Microsoft knows best. That worked out well.

It's been sh...

What is your precedent for thinking the PS4 will have "crap games" when 80% of the titles are multiplats, and Sony's first party studios are freaking awesome?

The PS3 has absolutely handed it to the 360 in the last 2 years and is still going strong. Despite all the challenges it faced it still won in the end.

The PS4 doesn't face those challenges. It wins on every front and has the head start in popularity. It couldn't be more of a sl...

I'm constantly thinking about sailing around the Caribbean drinking rum and shooting British soldiers for looking at me the wrong way.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the specs and price point. I don't know if it will succeed, but I really hope it does. And I'm glad someone like valve is willing to take the risk in the sake of killing Windows dominance in gaming.

Fortunately they can do things other companies can't get away with. Such as experimenting with ideas like this.

Well, at least in one thing Xbox is truly next gen. You can cook sausages for real on it.

It's burning up the charts, and your house. Actually just your house.

I have a gaming PC, quite a good one at that. And I played AC4 on my PS4. Loved it, and I didn't have to wait to get the horribly bugged PC edition in November that UBI is famous for.

The graphics are at a point on the PS4 that even a PC snob like me can be fine with them. And the experience as a whole is actually much more convenient. The game starts up and shuts down so quick, and the system is just so responsive and a joy to use compared to the PS3. Once the suspe...

Assassins Creed is needing some attention in the gameplay and engine department, definitely. It's in danger of going the way of call of duty in that regard.

But Black Flag manages to rise above the limitations of the game mechanics with the naval combat, a really great story, and tons of characters you'll like and become invested in easily.

There are some flaws to the storytelling. It could give more due care and attention to showing how Edward beco...

This game exceeded my expectations by a lot. The story and main character affected me more than any other game since Red Dead Redemption. Even The Last of Us didn't quite have the same effect.

With the last of us I kind of despised Joel most of the time for being a selfish childish dick. But by the end it was evident that it was an amazing story. And I liked the way it presented a forced moral dilemma at the end. As I reflected on it, I decided I would have made exac...

His audience are people who bought six consoles because they got five red rings of death.

It's like the Xbox special Olympics and the logo is made out of red rings.

It takes like 2 seconds to look, it's not a lot of research. I just checked the Futureshop(canada) websites in my area and you can walk in and buy an Xbox one at multiple stores.

You stumbled upon Microsoft's next gen strategy!

You can't give gamers everything in just one game, because they will buy less games. So you give them good graphics in Ryse with no gameplay, and good gameplay in Forza with poor graphics.

It's all about the compromises at Microsoft, Mediocrity awaits! Oh and Microtransactions, sweet sweet microtransactions!

I like that resogun is based on Defender. Defender was one of the first games I ever played. So much nostalgia and such a neat game.

And free with PS+, love it.

Also enjoying Black Flag, and Need for Speed Rivals. Plus I don't have to play Black Flag at 900p with a hideous sharpening filter which was just exposed on Neogaf.

I think it's hard to describe how glad I am I have a PS4 and not an Xbox one. As the lies and marketing spin...

It's basically Windows 8. Which is an awful UI, for a desktop at least. Works quite a bit better for the Xbox in my opinion.

Still I don't like the let's put shit randomly all over the place theme Microsoft has going on with Windows 8.

Likewise I don't like the auto arrange setup the PS4 has, and it's going to become unwieldy as soon as there are people with like 50 items on their bar. Hopefully that will evolve to allow pinning, mayb...

The point isn't that it was downgraded. Or even that all the titles were downgraded. Nor is the point even about how they look.

It's that Microsoft has been lying and spinning from day one about pretty much everything they can lie about to make the Xbox sound better than it is. I don't want a console built on lies, compromises and mediocrity.

And I find it really absurd how the press not only doesn't call Microsoft on their lies, but gleef...
