Software support, online & social support.

Microsoft are still the market leaders in constantly developing and updating their console software & providing the best online experience for it's gamers.

Sony is making ground, but they are not at Microsoft's level here yet.

In almost every other regard though, Sony is winning the race this generation.

I think Microsoft will likely be pl...

Agreed. I'm very much looking forward to this game, but a screenshot doesn't do a thing for me.

We haven't seen anything worth a damn since E3 last year and the information flow is virtually non-existent.

I doubt we'll see much at all before E3.

You want worse?

Try being in Australia where this game retails for $99.95 and having ZERO local servers to play on.

Aussies pay nearly twice the price and have to connect to South East ASIA to play it!

Don't count on a Kinect-less model anytime in this lifecycle.

Kinect 2.0 is here to stay

Agreed. I've finished this game already on master level difficulty and was pretty disappointed all round.

I'm an old school Thief player and this release was buggy, the AI sucked, The plot was cliche, boring and lame (save the girl, save the world? Oh ffs!). The game mechanics blew and were repetitive. Most of the game was on rails, you can't even fire a rope arrow except in a designated area, The 'escape' scene was lame and the game ending was as ant...

It's an average game. If you were around when the franchise was alive under LGS, you'd see that the game licence has been used fairly loosely on this release.

The game is buggy, the AI is woeful, the gameplay repetitive, the atmosphere stifling, the plot is cliche and the game style ranges from tedium to ill placed action racing sequences.

I've finished the game on Master level being a long term thief fan and will likely never play it again.

It's a mediocre take on the franchise at best.

Who cares if it runs better on one platform over another?

If this game goes free to play, I'll drop it like a hot potatoe.

For those 'demanding' free, I implore you to NOT buy this game and find something else to play.

World of Warcraft has shown that a sub model provides evolution, innovation and constant quality content development, along with quality support.

A sub model ensures that the content delivery will be constant and provide a new experience as time goes by.

It's not that good at all

It's not insanity to be critical about it either, because if you've played the original games you'll know the heritage from which this game stems - and it's radical departure from it.

The game has a number of flaws concerning AI, Sound and other technical issues but aside from that, the gameplay is all over the place, going from classic 'use the shadows' style gameplay to frantic action sequences which tot...

Soooo don't give a damn about this game anymore.

Fix or don't fix, I seriously couldn't care less. I'm off to find a FPS experience without the utter BS that DICE drolls out.

I'm prepared for Titanfall.

The fact that Microsoft barely lift a finger to support non US/Euro markets might have something to do with that.

Of all the games on the PSP, the one I played the most ironically enough was one of the launch titles : Lumines

A simple puzzle game with a great soundtrack and mesmerising gameplay, it lasted me from launch day until my PSP finally died.

I'm finally DONE with this franchise!

I've poured a massive amount of time and effort into this game and Battlefield 4 is the epitome of the rushed EA development model of 'get the game...

I'm a regular listener and fan of the PodCast, although I tend to tune in more for the general Xbox oriented version of the show than AAG. Although I'm also a grandad in the gaming universe (I remember when the Atari 2600 was 'hot tech') and do enjoy hearing about other games from the past and present, it was the Xbox oriented version of their podcast which made me a regular listener.

As for the Neg commentary Games_R_Us, look at it more as a passionate gamer...

I think 75/100 was still being a bit generous though.

It was buggy, the AI sucks, it was repetitive, on rails for a considerable amount of the game with a weak plot line.

The new voice of Garret I actually didn't mind, but the game itself was entirely forgettable.

Try being an Australian based gamer then.

We pay $100 for our games here standard & have no local servers.

Life sucks, eh?

I'd rather someone with your mindset not join the Xbox ranks.

Enjoy staying with your PS4, the Kinect is going nowhere.

You won't be missed.

Yep, one of the main reasons why I stuck with my chosen Champion in the Xbox this generation too. MS's track record concerning software updates is the industry leader and they're listening to feedback.

Good to see.
