@MCTJim: $500 isn't a premium price. That's the launch price of the Xbox One, and it certainly wasn't described as a premium price then. You're looking at PS3 launch prices at a minimum. Depending on how ambitious their plan is, you're looking at $600-800.

As for Neo, this isn't a console based debate so let's not make it one. I've gone on record as saying that both Neo and Scorpio are bad ideas, but if Scorpio actually turns out to be a set...

Choice as a game concept isn't necessarily a good thing. Each branch that results in different game content multiplies the work required, resulting in additional time that could be spent on making the main thread of a game better. Either that or the choice is artificial, and like in the case of Mass Effect 3, all of your choices funnel back into the same stream so it feels like your choices didn't matter anyhow.

Usually the only games that end up with choices that ...

Is this even a complete list?

This is just a list of the trophies and their descriptions, not a 'how to'.

Unnecessary.

Yes and no, it depends on their strategy. Here's a wild theory: what if the Win10 layer of the Xbox One is more prevalent in Scorpio, and in fact it is a MS branded Steam Machine with full Xbox One compatibility. As a trojan horse for PC gaming, that at least makes Scorpio make sense strategically without taking the legs out from under the Xbox One. All Xbox One development going forward then becomes PC development as well, revitalizing that market and legitimizing the Microsoft Store as ...

Dammit Greenberg, why do you keep making Sony's mistakes in this generation. Don't you learn from history? Though Scorpio's premium price tag might actually prevent us early adopters from being screwed over if it acts as a barrier for entry and developers still target the Xbox One for development.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I'm picturing Scorpio as a way to segue into a Microsoft version of a Steam Machine next generation.

You should have seen it coming... since it happens to EVERY game released.

@donthate: You show me a link where the specs of the NEO have been confirmed, and I will eat my monitor.

Stop trolling.

Sure you can. Then you make a bunch of inflammatory comments to stir the pot and wait for the clicks to roll in.

Uh... historical inaccuracy in what way?

Sounds vaguely racist, or historically ignorant. Not sure which.

How? Having ten times the staff and budget will probably have a lot to do with it.

Frosty is not wrong. I got all three of my Atlas Passes from Polo, and I went to an excessive number of colonial outposts before I gave up. Its possible they're available from either location, but based on how quickly I got my Atlas Passes when I gave up on farming mining facilities and operations centers and just kept jumping to make the anomaly ship appear, I'd guess that they may have changed the method of getting the passes in a patch.

Edit: I also have the pla...

This is not a factual statement, regardless of the source.

It isn't accurate. Once refunded, if you still have the game installed a lock icon will appear on the "Start" menu item, and when pressed will take you to the store page where you can purchase the game as normal. Once your license has been restored, the game will again start.

The last two have been awesome, so of course you should care.

Still enjoying the game. Guess the clicks have moved from hype to flame.

@Spoilerjerk: With the Atlas Pass v1, there's exosuit upgrades available for sale in every space station in the game. Did you not get that far in the game?

For me, it has significantly improved my crashing issue. Last night I had one crash in four hours as opposed to the dozen or more each night that I had with the day one patch.
