Lol what?

If you had a PC that had 16 GB of DDR4 and a GTX 1070, you would have a far more powerful device than an XBX. First of all, a GTX 1070 has 6.5 teraflops, not 6 teraflops. Furthermore, the card itself has 8 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and then you're adding another 16 GB of DDR4 which is far more memory than the XBX.

Also, the XBX has a processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, and if anyone is building a PC, pretty much any processor at this point is a...

Hearing the news regarding the PC version was wonderful.

Like I said, there will be compromises. No console can run a game on high settings/4K/60 FPS unless the game itself uses little resources (2.5D platformers for instance).

Having a lower resolution so as to grant higher performance settings and 60 FPS is probably better than a 4K resolution that has the detail of its image compromised due to bottlenecking. Yes, it will be a higher resolution, but the level of detail will be low. It's a bad example since we're talking...

One of the main reasons a larger SSD is so expensive is because it will eventually become the new medium for data storage, mostly due to very obvious reasons such as no moving parts, being quieter, having less energy consumption and being faster in boot times for nearly anything written to it. Also, they last a very long time. If you were to write 20 GB on it a day it would last roughly 187.5 years. If you were to write 100 GB a day it would last 18.75 years. A regul...

@frostypants Actually, I thought about the design for a few months (hence why the computer runs like a beast) because I was looking for a workstation/gaming rig that I could future-proof. Furthermore, the cooler to the CPU is an essential part of the computer and will determine the amount of stress that can be placed on the processor before bottlenecking; the longer the CPU can stay cool, the better!

Also, considering that the GPU is $700 alone, that's an inaccurate ass...

Lol 6 teraflops of gpu power; that's cute. This thing will run on medium-low settings to be able to get 4k/60FPS native. My 1080ti has 11.3 teraflops and not even it can pump out 4k/60FPS on high settings. And in case there's any dispute, here's the build:

CPU: Intel Core i7 6850k 6-core @3.6GHz
Cooler: Corsair h115i AiO liquid cooler
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1080ti Founders Edition
RAM: TridentZ RGB 32GB DDR4-3000
Motherboard: Asus Ra...

All of them, or as many as possible. No reason to limit the library, even if there are titles that aren't well received.

I know this might shock you, but developers don't make games *entirely* for your enjoyment. And pointing out these flaws is not an indication that one isn't having fun. Rather, making note of such things makes more gamers aware of certain tricks implemented in games that either make you play them longer or make it seem like a justified purchase, which in turn leads to gamers being more careful with their wallets, and forcing such tricks out of the market (i...

I understand the goal of allowing one to enter a mission from any angle, but I'm not sure they really took into account how this would change the formula of the game.

One of the reasons every metal gear has had a challenge is because you start at a specific point in a level and have to navigate through it, thus making the difficulty easy to set. However, when you allow the person to enter the game area from any angle they choose, the most that can be done is have the AI w...

I was thinking the same thing.

First off, those who wish to support it will eventually buy the game twice, which seems a little unethical towards the fanbase. And second, if they simply made the game digital and physical from the get-go, it would be inherent that they would generate *more* sales than just having a single method of distribution (i.e. digital).

Also, if they decide to go this route, there's no say how much revenue the physical copies will g...

Maybe when it first released. It only takes a few seconds now.

This will make the game a hit or miss with critics. One of the most long-standing features and reasons for selling the game has bee its split-screen multiplayer mode.

Just make the GameCube 2 with wavebird controllers as the standard.

"Microsoft has *insert any one of their franchises that gets released every year*."

Yay..

A larger selection to choose from? The potentiality of having more enjoyable experiences? The chance of discovering new franchises? The ability to not complain that you don't have something to play? Also, how would you know that you would only be enjoying 3-4 games on a list of 30? What if it turns out that you enjoy 20 out of 30? Or 30 out of 30? The more big-name games you have to play, the greater the chances of increasing your enjoyment on the console. Come on LOGICWINS, use logic.

If playing games that you played 10 years ago is the megaton announcement, then you should probably ask yourself if you bought that thing to play new games, or old ones. Why would someone drop $400 to play games from a decade ago, when they can spend $50 to do the same thing? That's horribly unreasonable.

It also seems like they didn't have anything else to offer, so they compensated and offered the *potential* (since it's up to the developers to add support) to p...

It sounds to me like release dates for games are more important for you than the games themselves, which comes off as a desperate comment:

"I shouldn't care about these games if I don't know their exact release dates."

That's silly. It's about the game's first and foremost. Not their release dates. Hell, there wouldn't even *be* release dates without the game announcements. Let's be honest. Game conferences are about the ...

You probably wouldn't understand (nor would you be much of a gamer) if you haven't played their previous titles. I suggest starting there to figure out why people want it.
