How do you decide what to play right now?

They have invested too much to not capitalize on it. Sony, that is. And consoles still have to make their base happy as well as create software that can only be played there. Many ppl bought an xbox early on and then a ps3 down the road. They kept track of all the games they missed and finally got to play them. I did the reverse. But, why would anyone ever fork over money for a 2nd console is there were no exclusives. So it isn't just about intial hardware sales but late in the cycle too....

There is absolutely no reason now or in the near future to always be online. But, they may think that ending piracy is more lucrative than the consumers they will lose.

Wow. Their goal for the US was $160 million and they surpased it...damn.

This is a crazy list...these games, while flawed like all games, were not overrated. Many changed gaming for the better. Wow

Its funny b/c who won this gen? We did as Sony and MS finished about dead even. Look for more of the same and we as gamers will benefit. Theres more than enough room for both.

It seems that way but if the difficulty is high and it comes later, the argument can be made that it is for previois owners and high level characters. I was waiting for this and then started dark souls so it'll b a bit but I can't wait.

I can't wait...the first one was a little unrefined but amazing. Some ideas weren't fully realized. But the fps genre needs games like this. I hope marketing and muli platforms really help this sell well as it should be one of the best fps gamed this yr.

The comlarisons to half life are quite the compliment and while the lack of hand holding may turn off the many, its games like dark souls that garner great communities because they work together to figure it all out....

This entire argument is absurd. Do we live in a communist hemisphere in which every game must be the same? This is his art style and if ppl don't like it, they don't have to buy it. And gearbox's artist responded? Seriously. And I am sure that none of these guys watch porn either...or at least they don't tell their wives or misttesses. Give me a break. So, no one can ever make a game that would appeal to young men ever again because there a girl may be offended. This is the wo...

Honestly, what is the alternative in a fantasy setting playing as a character in a video game? Just less blood, stunning victims or cutting back the number of altercations altogether? Less violence in a game that is popular because of its fps nature may have consequences too. Booker is/was a violent man who has had his mind warped and put in a really bad situation in which he has but 1 goal. And there are many obstacles in front of him. The irony is that he was sent there to change the big pi...

I like it being different than PS. I love trophies but I have to have the plat. So, if its a game I may not plat, I get it for xbox if all else is equal.

But there is an obvious solution. Have one gamerscore but allow it to have different categories. This way, for those who want to know, they can dig further to see more info.

Also I just heard on IGN that on next gen, Sony and MS will have the ability, or developers will, to add trophies at any time. How abou...

They are buggy but I will giv them a pass on new vegas being that it used bethesdas engine for fallout 3 lol. I loved new vegas though and I had a love/hate with alpha protocol. I hate to say it but how buggy can south park be? I am looking forward to it. Its seems a strange marriage that might work...south park and rpg.

So the leaked footage said that its set in the future but uses older weapons so it does give credence to the fact that this is a group of guys using what's around them to change their situation. I have a strange feeling that they will go back to a CoD4 or MW2 setup with enhanced graphics and features like sliding and dynamic loading screens. Interesting to me will be how the consoles break down. I thought for sure that they would release this gen and then wait a month or two for the next ...

Its fine. I always go after trophies but I loved DD so much I didn't really care about them. On a different note, I saved 2nd playthrough for the expansion and an increase in difficulty. Its the last trophy I need.

Its OK Sony...it doesn't bother me. I just stay off it.

Amazing article. Imagine a time in which games are made for particular gamers. U like survival horror, we will make it. We won't try and streamline or do this and that, simply provide a survival horror game for its fans. And the same for rpg fans that love dark souls etc. I had such high hopes for swtor. But it decided to be a wow clone, focusing on story but trying to drag in all those that loved WoW to get the money. Had they simply focused on 1 thing, maybe the story, those who stayed ...

It ultimately didn't matter this gen. Didnt ps3 get close or pass in number of cod players?

The big question after the respawn announcement is EAs relationship with xbox. If both Cod and Battlefield 4 are shown at MS' s E3 show that could ne huge.

Sony made a splash with Blows game and Destiny content. It made me think Activision has chosen Sony for next gen but not with CoD so maybe Battlefield remains closer to Sony. It will be interesting to see wh...

Wow! This really says something!

Its a great idea for certain games. There are many that don't need it and I wouldnt want engine resources wasted on it.

There will also be a phase in which everyone goes overboard and the realistic nature is counter prosuctive. But someone should do a next gen Red Faction or something like it.

Seeing the Havok sign makes me think of dark souls. Imagine what they couls so with destruction everywhere. You see some in DS2 but I think its scripted. But ima...

Who is ripping them off now? Did Nintendo rip off Atari and did Atari rip off...back to the first computer and then back to the first guy to write a 1 & 0? The best rip off artist of our generation is Bill Gates and Microsoft...but that's business and I look at it like making something betterthan it is.

This would make a great commercial. But despite being an avid gamer, theremay hav been a few inventions that are more important. Its awesome though.
