"sony really messed up with playstation now as that too could be a cash cow but probably has low memberships."
I think this will change when PSNOW is in TVs, PCs and every tother device that can run it.... and PS4 games are available for it. PSNow will host PS5 games for sure. and before this gen is done it will be serving PS4 games on the service.
I agree with some of this, but I dont see console gamers going out and building powerful rigs to play QB. And steams own data has shown that most have PCs that are less capable the an XB1 in terms of game performance.
Ill call this now...the next xbox will be a PC in a box. DX12 will replace DX11 as the standard fully, by then and that means devs make games on the two with little extra in the way of resources needed. Does it devalue xbox? only if you can afford to build a prope...
I swear somebody follows me around to hit disagree...always got this one disagree...I just want to say hi to my anonymous fan/stan/stalker.
Man, this better be true! lords of the fallen would make a killer free game. Borderlands on BC is handy as I have all the DLC, but never actually got round to playing it ( I no longer have the disc, but all the DLC was digital so I should be able to access it all.. Currently have borderlands: handsome collection in my rotation, so this will be handy for my ultimate borderlands gamerscore/completion across all three games.
This game should have rolled out with dedi servers. That is all im gonna say.
I havent noticed anything unusual. And most of my game time is spent online. Been playing halo 5, FM6, FH2 neverwinter and smite mostly (oh, and co op FC4 and borderlands) and never experienced any disconnects. If I never seen this article I would not have even noticed anything was down. No problems with any of my most used apps. so when did this happen? must have been while I was away from my console/asleep.
?...you dont have to buy a single thing in halo why are you guys having such a hard time understanding this? Is that FACT not getting into your skull, man?
Its obvious you dont know what you are talking about fez, because you cant buy guns in halo. You buy packs (NOT with REAL money...read it a few times so it sinks in)
"Not even your choice of skin, but a random skin."
Its ALL free..even the maps, they give us every month...so what...
SF alpha 3 is the best SF ever, I reckon. I would say SF3 had the best mechanics, but most of the characters were boring. for me its SFA3> SF4> SF3.
If somebody STILL goea ahead and buys it...knowing full well they could have just got that stuff for free....then thats on their own head. Besides...you are not going to have any advantage over anybody by buying that pack. So why buy it?
People will be spending a lot longer earning characters in SF5. pretty sure you dont have anything to say about that, dragondark.....
Besides...you dont have to spend 50 hours....I got my first two weapon skins within a few hour...
$25 that you would have to be nuts to spend, considering that you can get all that gear for free by simply playing the game. I have not spent a single penny on halo 5 outside of the cost of the game itself. Unless you want to include the limited edition controller I bought, but never use thanks to my elite.
This has nothing to do with xbox owners. The ones that do care enough, bought it on PC..but aside from that...Its not xbox gamers giving this game low scores.
"It took me over 3 months to get a simple Battle Rifle skin"
Its pretty random, But I took a friends advice and spent my req points on a bunch of silver packs. I got three weapon skins for my BR in the first month.
PS. The BR looks sexy with the 'spiral' skin.
You dont need to buy it, as everything contained in it can be bought with REQ points. SO, no...its not worth it. I know a few people who did buy it, but I still ended up getting certain rare weapon skins and armour before they did.
"How the hell do people still think you need to pay for the season pass??"
Erm....well it does have one. I bought this bundle on tuesday.

I just dont feel like having to fight the CPU 50 times just to unlock one alternate costume or a new character ( the online dont work too great so, good luck earning fight money, that way, right now).
"Titanfall, Tomb Raider, DeadRising 3 and others and so far the Xbox One according to sales is still selling better than the 360. "
^^This...the numbers have shown that the xbox versions of those games not only sell betetr, but are better supported bt the audience on xb1...I got titanfall on both XB1 and PC...and the Pc version is a ghost town compared to the xb1 version..It is what it is. Will be interesting when those numbers roll in and QB is selling better on XB1.....
Well...if steams own stats are anything to go buy...most people dont even own a PC with descent enough specs to run this game at 'XB1' settings let alone the "60FPS, 4K experience" which they think they are getting from a 1080P 22" monitor.
Gamers say a lot of things for the sake of 'making a point'...even lie about what specs their 'PC' is... knowing damn well the same 400 buck laptop they type on N4G on is the same laptop they can barely...
honestly, there are better FPS to play on PC. Planet side 2 or tribes for example...Even if this were a PC only game, as it stands it comes up short.
@Windows10Family
I also play SF5 on PC...I also happen to play KI on XB1. and lets be real hear...KI's visuals have a lot more oomph to them. SF5 look like a 3D anime. KI looks like proper CG with tonnes of particle effects flying everywhere. it also does not drop in framerate, have online issues and has perfect input speeds.And it runs on dedicated servers. If your only point is screen resolution, then you are going to eat your own words when the PC port of KI comes alon...
"Consider SFIV PS4 port is just horrid due to a bad port job."
Wasnt the PS4 version the lead platform and the PC version, the port though?
@Skate-AK
EDIT: My bad...for some reason I didnt notice the "I" in front of the "IV". my mind was on SF "V" for some reason and I didnt even see the "I". never mind. SF 5 online blues. :/
"Why are we talking about microtransactions if everything is free?"
I was asking myself the same question, when I saw this article.
"And judging by your comments these packs give you certain customization options?"
Yup. helmets, helmet visors, armour, emblem and weapon skins. the same packs give you an assortment of power weapons and vehicles too. but in every pack you are given TWO peices of custom gear. You can end up buying pack...
