I hope so too. I only own a PS4 and Wii U in terms of current gen consoles, but I truly hate the pixel counting bickering. Hated it during PS3/Xbox 360 face-off garbage, and I hate it now.
We are a gaming community, but most people act like we are a squabbling, warring tribe with constant infighting. It is silly and tiring. I would love for all gamers to just get back to enjoying games and not shout at each other with insane vitriol for such ridiculous things. And hey, if MS ...
Agreed. Have no interest in them making these things. I like my Wii U quite a bit, but don't understand the Amiibo thing at all. It baffles my *considerable* intelligence as to why these little figurines that either add a silly costume or whatever command such incredible mainstream mind-share.
I don't care for them, so as far as I'm concerned, I don't want anyone else wasting their time on them. But it appears I'm in the minority. So if there is money to b...
On looks alone, it certainly piqued my interest. Not a huge fan of Minecraft (yep, 1 of the 14), so I'd love to find out more about how it differs.
Couldn't find info on if it is even coming West or not. Anyone know?
I honestly do not understand why people don't keep their old systems that they've invested hundreds or thousands of dollars into, with a library of great games they'd like to play now...well, you can get 100% title compatibility of last gen games with your last gen console. I actually bought a used 360 like a month ago so I could play some of the exclusives I missed only playing PC, Wii & PS3. BC on current gen is a nicety to be sure, but I would much rather companies spend th...
They should probably stop releasing these small updates altogether. Bundle them into one larger one later that has at least one feature. People may wonder why the updates are further apart, but at this point these updates just end up creating little events where people bitch about updates.
Not going to sit here and say I wouldn't like some of these other features. Obviously I would. But I guess I'm happy enough with the console that I largely don't mind. I would ...
@ starchild
No they can't do an open PC with a streamlined interface, they make all their money from taking a cut from sales. And they sell the console at a loss and make up the difference through these software sales. If they make a straight up Windows PC, people will immediately install Steam on it (one way or another) and Microsoft will make no money.
What they are doing with their current store strategy, it sounds like anyway, is to make is so if you...
While the wording was a tad flip, can you tell me why this isn't the right mindset? The guy releases a new Freddy's like a few months after a previous entry. I know 4 is supposed to be the last one, but given the type of game it is and how little time are between releases...it kind of feels like they are thrown together. And every version is in the top like 50 on the appstores and does very well on Steam - he's making very very good money from it. So it does kind of feel like he&#...
This is a question regarding walla...I've seen this many times. Is this some internet accepted variant of "voila"? Or just the phonetic spelling. Not judging or hating or whatever, just legitimately curious.
OT: I suppose you could say new games don't cost 60 bucks if you use Best Buy Gamers Club, but otherwise they don't cost 60 if you wait a bit. Which is what I do. Do both, Gamers Club and wait, and prices can be fantastic.
Yea the Order 1886 is actually a pretty good game in my estimation. Though you have to wonder if it's because of how terrible everyone made it out to be. But hey, I like it.
Also, it straight up, no questions asked has the best graphics, environments and atmosphere of any game I have ever seen. And that includes any of the PC games I own (and yes I can run them well, GTX 970). But I really hope that Sony uses that engine for other games because it is absolutely stunning. ...
The problem is everyone tries to talk from their position - consumer or reviewer - as though their group is an individual. It's hard enough talking one on one about certain things, but having to feel like you condone or demonize everything that anyone else in the group you identify with makes it down right impossible. Lots of anger, mostly misplaced, is thrown around.
In this instance, though, we're talking about the reputation of a group. I don't think it's d...
I apparently hit my head and have found myself in an alternate reality where Metro Redux and Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition didn't already release on PC and the world didn't explode.
This is not a sign of things to come. This is more of a transitional period from last gen to this gen (consoles - unfortunate but they do have to work from a common base). You want it, here you go. You happy with what you have? OK, don't buy it. If I were to worry about anything PC ...
Every time I see someone add an "IMO" to someone else's post, I can't help but ask: why? The post itself is an opinion. We aren't all sitting here, doing investigative journaling to figure out what is absolutely, unequivocally the best game of this generation based on fact alone that everyone agrees on wholeheartedly with. If someone reads one persons post and decides he has divined the final verdict of the best thing in existence for a wholly opinion based hobby, well t...
I'm actually kind of confused. Phil said this near the end of last year:
"On the DX12 question, I was asked early on by people if DX12 is gonna dramatically change the graphics capabilities of Xbox One and I said it wouldn’t. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but the CPU, GPU and memory that are on Xbox One don’t change when you go to DX12. DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One’s good at, which will be nice and you’ll see improvement ...

The balance is game companies stop putting out broken games. There is nothing inherently wrong with pre-ordering a game, but when time and again games come out broken...doesn't it seem prudent to wait and see if the product is any good?
The crux of this entire thing, though, is that games just need to be made better. Nothing has to be balanced on the consumer side of things - at least in this particular instance.
Something, something LEVEL 9000!?!
Sadly yes. You may be lucky enough for it to survive, but I had to break down and get a 2nd Gen Slim since my beautiful, monolithic backward compatible PS3 died. Good luck to you, but brace yourself for heartbreak.
It's Re Vive...Why does everyone keep calling it the Vive? It clearly has a stylized "re" before the "vive" part. Even the header on the official webpage is HTC Re Vive.

In any event, yea, so long as Valve can actually get this product out the door (much less 2015 as is stated), then I'm interested. At the very least, Valve and Oculus is a good duo to have dukin...
Don't worry about fathoms. He clearly submitted the article, if not outright wrote it. When someone's only response to an argument is an attack on grammar, you know you've already won. Or, at the very least, debating anything with that person is a complete waste of time.
I have to remember sarcasm does not express itself on the internet. Either label it as such or find another way to get my point across. The whole first paragraph was just a guffaw at the stupid things people will bitch about - and a vocal minority at that.
The second was genuine opinion though.
