I don't rely on Xur like some people. I get what I'm given. I also don't actively farm the weeklies like some to farm up Strange Coins. I'm a semi-casual player. Sometimes I get in a groove and play a game constantly, but not that often.

I have bought 1 Titan Chest Piece, 3 Helmet Engrams, 2 Exotic Shards, the Dark Below upgrade for Super Good Advice [300 DMG to 331 DMG upgrade], and a couple quest/bounty relate items. I don't stri...

Not everyone has Icebreaker yet. There are new players to Destiny every month (new PS4/XBO owners most likely) and those players would have missed out on the earlier offerings.

I personally have missed it because I was short the coins every time IceBreaker came up for sale. Also, I don't Raid religiously like some Destiny players and get Exotic duplicates of Gjallarhorn and IceBreaker. Luckily, I have 11 coins and can match-make the very hard weekly to net 9 more coins wi...

100 million is inevitable. The PS1 and PS2 both hit it and so long as the PS3 isn't discontinued any time soon, it may be on its way as well.

The real question is will it [PS4] surpass the PS2? No home console has reached the 155 million bar yet. The PS4 has the momentum (for now), but will it meet it or beat it?

I see more value in the Replica arm, steelbook and packaging than the Trailer/Documentary Disc. It would be nice if there was a soundtrack like there was with MGS4, but the half scale figurine makes up for it.

I don't have a problem with the content, I have a problem with the amount of it and how much they are charging, AND with the fact that a re-release of a re-release doesn't include a damn bit of the older DLC.

I got the Injustice PS4 re-release and it came with ALL of the previously released DLC. I didn't feel cheated one bit. With DoA they are charging you an arm, leg, and your first born for all the previously released DLC that is NOT included in the re-release. ...

Kiefer Sutherland probably cost too much for the amount of dialog that would have been needed if Snake talked all the time. I'm not saying that Hayter comes cheap either as he is a pretty well established voice actor, but he would definitely be cheaper than Sutherland. However, because of Kojima going with Sutherland for Ground Zeroes and snubbing Hayter I don't see them suddenly scrambling to get Hayter back to maintain their belief that the can do it without him (debatable).

Comcast is satan incarnate. We have Cox and U-Verse in our area and U-Verse is atrocious - we just use it as an excuse towards Cox while threatening to cancel to get unadvertised renewal deals.

Ever since they redid the cable wiring in our apartment complex, my Cox internet service has been extremely reliable and when I have had to deal with customer service, they've usually helped me out fairly quick and hassle free.

I really wonder how bad Comcast will ...

I wish 3rd parties would support CrossBuy. They're doing Cross-Save, throw us a bone man.

Personally, I'm going to wait this one out and pick it up once it hits the $20 mark (maybe along with the Vita version if it is cheap enough as well). If I can get both the PS4 and Vita version for less than $40 I'll utilize the cross-save to grind these out on the move. I tested Remote Play from my workplace and while it works OK, there is noticeable lag and occasional drop ...

Usually they give some sort of teaser a few days away though. I agree with others though that maybe GDC has something to do with it (starts tomorrow). They could have held off to double up announcements with GDC.

He is assuming you are also still running the OS on those older machines, which IS ILLEGAL. Each key is licensed for use on only ONE machine at any given point in time. However, as long as the other installations are erased or non-functional, then you can legally reuse your product key on another machine (as long as it is not a system-builder license like I mentioned - there are issues reactivating those since they link to the motherboard on activation).

Many of the songs in Frequency and Amplitude were popular licensed songs, just not popular licensed "Top 40" songs. That is the point though. Frequency and Amplitude were pulling music from sources that lend well to remixing (even remixes of remixes), so mostly electronica and techno, though there is an occasional rock or pop song like "Rock Show". What is funny is because of the music I listen to I was already familiar with 80% of the artists and songs in Frequency and Am...

Icebreaker is pretty much all PvE. It's best for mostly anything with the Juggler modifier. It is a way to quickly respawn ammo for other secondary weapons as well (it's unlikely this will be patched out).

As many have called it, most of the stuff was bought used. Also, no OS was listed. Pro-PC need to accept the fact it is IMPOSSIBLE to build a new comparable PC to the PS4 (or Xbox One) for less than their respective values. Maybe in a couple more years, but by then it will be irrelevant because the consoles will have dropped in price making it all but impossible again (better luck with a $100-$200 build /s) until the next generation. It's a vicious cycle.

I'll agree to Necrochasm taking a long time ONLY because you have to level through three weapons AND get a rare drop from Crota Hard. The first stage is actually really quickly done on Dark Beyond (I did it in like 10 minutes), as long as you have already built the rep with Eris for the upgrade item (the only time consuming thing to get past the first stage). The second stage is the annoying bit because you need the Crota Hard item to go to Necrochasm in t...

The only problem I had with the review (above) was his grading system. Assigning a hard 0-2 for 5 categories seems a bit weighted and harsh as it put everything on a really strict scale of Bad, OK, Good without much in between.

I would have rather seen a 1-10 for each category (with no option for 0) and then an average of the 5 categories for the final grade. The reason for an even scale is to avoid always picking the middle (this is recommended when making surveys - offer no...

I think they have reduced the drop rate for Gjallarhorn since launch because the multi-rocket perk makes it stupidly over-powered. Though it is only over-powered in PvE (specifically the Raids). In PvP Truth is much better because of better seeker missiles and proxy detonation. Also, because heavy ammo is limited in PvP, both get balanced out despite of how powerful they are.

Bungie just doesn't want everyone waltzing through the Raids, Strikes, and Story missions with Gj...

The problem is they are not following with traditional vampire mythos either, because "you know who" was seen in many scenes in sunlight. According to traditional vampire mythos only dhampirs were able to have vampiric abilities while being immune or resistant to sunlight - so maybe he was a dhampir, but he also did not heal immediately from the knife that was thrown at him and the other vampires were killed rather easily (too easily if you ask me).

I really think t...

You only visit the Reef for what...two or three missions of the game and then never go there again. I always hoped it would become a social space or open up to more missions, but as of right now it is the most unused place in the game.

Remember how long MGS4 was teased before it finally released. At least the teaser of Ground Zeroes was more than the few teaser videos we got for MGS4.

Hopeful expectation is this holiday season, realistic is late 2015/early 2016, pessimistic is 2016 and beyond. I'd like to be the realist because being too optimistic will just be a let down.
