Pretty glad to hear this, actually. A bunch of my friends and my Dad love playing it, but after you get through the raids it's kind of boring having a high-level character unless you love Destiny's multiplayer. Glad I don't have to wait until Destiny 2 for some content that's more engaging than Crimson Doubles. (Not that I don't appreciate in-game events)
Same here! I'm particularly fond of the 'brutalize' skill. Stealth kills were good enough but that takes it to a whole new level.
Hey Jay2- initially it was only accessible via search, but I'll add an update to the article with this information. Thanks for the heads-up and have a good one!
Well, to be fair it's an opinion place and as an avid WoW player there were a lot of things that seemed similar to me.
Apparently I'm not the only one either-

I did indeed! And after playing through both of them there were a lot of parallels that jumped out at me. Minor things like dancing, a quest-like structure, player customization, and so forth of course but then larger elements like a 3rd person hub area to hang out with in your downtime, 'mounts' in the form of vehicles, and class-specific roles in combat jumped out at me the most.
@Kinjo Hard to disagree!
Looks good but sad it might never come to fruition :\
Tofu is brutal!
I certainly hope so, MAULxx!
Yeah, when I wrote the section about learning the map, "Hose it off, dummy!" just popped in there :p Thanks for the comment and have an awesome day! :)
But where can I GET an early copy? :p
Ultimate gamer thank you so much for the kind words! I can't wait for the 11th either and I'm glad you noticed the bookends! I'd just gotten them the day before I shot this :p
Brandon, next-gen isn't solely about graphics but you're right; there haven't been any next-gen titles yet that have that 'wow' factor yet except for maybe Ryse. However, Second Son is just around the corner and that looks like it's going to be pretty brilliant.
As far as other considerations for 'next-gen', I'm really pleased that streaming and interactivity are options for gameplay that are only a button-press away. Xbox One is getting su...
Graphics aside I'm just pumped to play Thief. I missed it the first time around and I'm a big stealth fan :)
Hey Plastica-Man, thanks for the comment!
The PS4 CPU has been shown to be identical to the Xbox one in my findings which had a rated clock speed of 1.6MHz. Microsoft released information showing their increasing the speed, Sony did not.
Can you give me an official source showing the 2.25GHz? If so, I'll be happy to change the article. Also, can you explain the latency problem or point to a source that does? Regardless, the real edge is in the GPU which I...
Hey mmj, you're absolutely right! When I wrote the article I actually looked at this aspect along with a range of other technical details (shader performance and so forth) and considered laying everything out but so many sites have already done a great job outlining those technical details that I felt it would be overkill at best and inept at worst considering I'm not a hardware engineer. My goal was to pinpoint the biggest reasons for the performance gap and highlight them in an easi...
Hey BX81, I'm sorry you didn't dig the article but hopefully something in the future will be more to your liking. The article certainly does invite debate, but the purpose more was to inform those who were unsure about the differences in graphical power between the platforms to the reasons why the gap exists. Anyways, thanks so much for the comment and take care! :)
Hey Sarcasm, it wasn't my intention to say everyone's a winner (That would deflate the entire article, really) but rather that some people simply won't notice these differences or even care! Looking at the Assassin's Creed screenshot for example, at least, in my opinion, I don't see a massive difference but some people do. The point of the article was merely to point out the factors that account for those differences. I appreciate the feedback and hopefully I can win you o...
Actually, yes, I did point that out in the article. In many cases the differences ARE negligible. However, I'd appreciate it if in the future you'd read the article before making assumptions. Have a good day and thanks for the comment :)
I don't see what the big deal is. If an awesome experience is more widely available isn't that a win for the developers/publishers that crafted it? If anything I'd think that appealing wider would bolster confidence in them for their next release.
