Saw this comment on the IGN comments and it's spot-effing-on:

IGN's Watchdogs Cons:
–Weak car chases
–Auto-fail stealth missions
8.4
IGN's Battlefield 4 Cons:
–Mode/map mismatches
–Mediocre single-player
8.5
IGN's Assassin's Creed Unity Cons:
–Weak story
–Unrefined stealth
7.8
This is monumentally stupid. The game crashed a couple of times during Adventure mode, and as a result they reduce the score of a game that she even admits is otherwise brilliant, charming, and loaded with content, down to a 6.8?
Meanwhile the Master Chief Collection was and still is broken for the multiplayer portion (what everyone wants to play!) and they give that a 9.0 and don't look back?
Assassin's Creed Unity is broken and glitchy and buggy an...
I will not (for the foreseeable future) even consider going all-digital with my console games purchases. I only buy digital games if it's one I really, really want to play and it isn't available on disc. If it's available on disc, I will absolutely not buy it digitally.
OK, Steam is one thing, GOG.com, that's one thing... but on PSN and Xbox Live, until they prove to me that they will commit to backwards compatibility on digital software, I refuse to do it...
It's surprising to me because I don't understand how the same studio can be credited as the head studio with two major AAA releases within about a week. Montreal must be an enormous studio that within itself has to half multiple teams. Why not give each team its own name, since it can't be the same people making both games at the same time, can it? I guess because they all work in the same building/office, so they just give them all one name? It has to be, in reality, though, ...
Is the PS Experience event live streamed somewhere, video presentation?
Microsoft is doing a great job at making the Xbox One an enticing purchase right now. Nice discounts (as low as $330 come Black Friday), free games included, and they've released a lot of quality games in the past 2 months. It damn well better sell close to or better than the PS4 given that it's now cheaper and they're pushing hard with all their exclusives since the Spring and until who knows when shoved into this holiday window, and I suspect it will pay off. Sony did a good ...
I've learned not to buy games for online multiplayer on day 1. Been burned WAY too many times. I just got Sunset Overdrive and it's a blast. So much fun, it's tiding me over well until I eventually buy Halo, and by that time hopefully the problems are resolved!
I see this as a good thing. The man knows how to craft a good dramatic story. It's probably a little devoid of humor and perhaps more intense than an Uncharted theme should feel, but he's a talented writer and can bring a plot to this movie that will make it exciting and interesting to a wide audience. The thing that's important to keep in mind is that this kind of scriptwriting in Hollywood often isn't a singular process. They don't just have one guy write a screenpla...
@Maxor: Really? PS Plus *SUCKS* in your words, because of this? Question (I don't know the answer because I just signed up for Xbox Live yesterday after buying my Xbox One over the weekend), but isn't it the same on Xbox One?
After I signed up for Xbox Live I had to go to the store area and download the games, obviously, but if I hadn't done that, would I have still been able to download them for free next month after they rotate out? Would they have been adde...
Totally disagree, twdll. First of all, your "They may not have done what the title of this article states, but..." comment makes me think you didn't read the article. Because it sounds like you're thinking this article is conjecturing about (quote unquote) *yet another bad thing Sony did (in addition to the stuff I'm about to mention*, when in fact the article speculates about something very GOOD that Sony might have done (give more access to more PS+ games).

Haha, I decided to crack mine open and play it. Not worth the hassle of trying to get a good deal on black friday!
Crap, I just bought the Xbox One yesterday. This is a WAY better deal (20 dollars cheaper, a month of Xbox Live, and you get a 50 dollar gift card!?). If I return my Xbox One (I still haven't opened it because I had to wake up early today, so when I got home, I just left it in its bag and went to sleep!), what do you all think are the chances of me being able to get this deal at Target? I'd be worried it would sell out... Hmm... It's such a good price, though! It's essenti...
Thanks guys! I didn't realize there was a Horizon 2 demo. That's great, I'll download that tonight. But everybody has basically sold me on it with the high praise! But, better safe than sorry so I'll get the demo first before I spend the cash on it. Dead Rising 3 looks like a lot of fun, so I'll pick that up for like 20 bucks. Is Ryse really worth a play through for 20 bucks? I think it looks OK (graphics, great though), for 20 bucks I've enjoyed many games in t...
I am very happy with my PS4, but as a Halo fan from day 1 of the original Xbox (waited in line outside Circuit City to get it at launch), I just had to have an Xbox One for Halo. Master Chief Collection now, Halo 5 next year. On top of that, as a long-time fan of Insomniac games, particularly Ratchet & Clank, the new Sunset Overdrive appeals to my sensibilities. So I bought an Xbox One last night and got Sunset Overdrive and pre-ordered Master Chief Collection!
Now I w...
If it's just the new zoom mode for the battle rifle, that's cool. I don't want Halo to change to a Call of Duty style of gunplay. I'm thinking of getting an Xbox One soon, and as much as I've been thinking Halo Master Chief Collection isn't a system seller... for me, it kind of is haha. I really wanted Destiny to provide the split screen experience I enjoy so much in Halo, and it doesn't, so for me, it's going to have to be Halo, it's really the only exp...
Oh, right, I'm so wrong. Come on people, stop being hyperbolic. Maybe I was a little harsh in how I put my comment, but it gets really old seeing people describe this as the best value in gaming history when it is factually inaccurate. It just isn't true. The Orange Box set a high watermark and has not been surpassed by this collection. For that matter, you can buy the entire Valve collection of games during the Steam holiday sales for like 20 bucks. And that was back in like 20...
I keep hearing Xbox shills describe this as as the best value ever in gaming. What a crock of crap.
Did we all forget the Orange Box so soon, or are you just being ignorant on purpose?
3 out of 5 products on that disc were BRAND NEW, not just a collection of releases that are all years old. Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Half-Life 2 Episode 2, all available for the first time, a great variety of 3 totally different experiences from one another, plus one of th...
@MichaelLito79: What are you talking about? I clearly stated in my post "games that were available on each console (but not the other) in North America by Christmas day" (of 2013, which was clearly implied by my opening sentence "did it *really* have the best lineup LAST Christmas?").
Every game I mentioned was on PS4 and NOT on Xbox One by LAST CHRISTMAS.
@incredibleMULK: Warframe was on PS4 at launch last year. It didn't come to Xb...
Even if we accept that it has the better games lineup for THIS Christmas... did it *really* have the best lineup LAST Christmas?
Here are lists of games that were available on each console (but not the other) in North America by Christmas day (metacritic scores in parentheses):
XBOX ONE
Fighter Within (23)
LocoCycle (48)
Halo: Spartan Assault (53)
Crimson Dragon (55)
Ryse: Son of Rome (60)
Powerstar Gol...
Project Spark is already out, not sure why you're counting that towards Xbox's 2015 list.
I would be surprised if *ALL* of Quantum Break, Halo 5, Fable Legends, Crackdown, and Scalebound come out in 2015. Seems unlikely. None of those are rumored to be dropping any sooner than probably around September of 2015, the chances of all 5 coming out in one holiday period is pretty slim. Even this year, they had Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, and Halo Master Chief Coll...
