So were those PS4/PC reviews were also written by xbox fanatics?

Ignoring the fact that The Witness actually reviewed quite well (87 Metascore), the only criticism I recall with regards to that game were related to it's price - apparently $40 is too much for an indie game... obviously Hello Games weren't paying attention.

Fact is, people are still voicing their criticisms, despite No Man's Sky being all but confirmed to be making it's way ...

Yeah, I've been wondering about that... on the one hand, the Scorpio is being designed and marketed with hardcore gamers in mind - shipping with an Elite controller would certainly reinforce that image, but it would also raise the overall price.

That said, the Xbox One S launched with a variety of different models, so I wouldn't be surprised if MS had similar plans for the Scorpio... I expect they'll have a 'budget' console-only version (with a regular c...

Guess I'll be hanging onto my Kinect - if only for the voice commands... here's hoping it can be used as a camera for whichever VR headset Scorpio supports.

Good God... is that pic legit?

Either way, Blizzard needs to let go of their crusade against Overwatch porn, because that right there is the sexiest piece of 'cosplay' I've ever seen - and that's counting the Widowmaker from SDCC... GREAT A$$!

Fact is, people are still voicing their criticisms, despite the game being all but confirmed to be making it's way to xbox... I think the AAA price-tag, coupled with the game's performance issues and Hello Games' mixed-messaging has been far more detrimental to No Man's Sky's reception than any alleged fanboy conspiracies.

I'm not upset about the delay - the game obviously needs more work... what bothers me is that they scheduled a dedicated event whose main purpose was to announce FFXV's release date and they couldn't even do that right - worse still, they announce and detail a season-pass (content they're undoubtedly already working on) when they know the base game isn't up to snuff.

I'm excited for the game, but there's no way I'm falling for the 'ol &qu...

September still has ReCore, XCOM2 and Forza Horizon 3 - day 1 buys for me - not to mention Deus Ex later this month... there's also a surprising number of legitimately good-looking indies about as well - The Banner Saga 2, Abzu, Inside, Hyper Light Drifter, even Below and Cuphead are due out soon.

I haven't played a jrpg since the PS1 era, so FFXV was always gonna be a 'wait and see' title for me - hence this delay hasn't really changed much with regards...

"Versus XIII was in development hell for 6 years, mostly because they didn't know how to fit the game into 3 different releases and still have it be open world".

This is exactly my point - Square Enix greenlit a title that had no realistic chance of ever being developed, let it fester for 6 years and still had the nerve to lock an 'externally developed' demo behind a paywall, 8 years after the game was announced... their entire corporate philosophy app...

They've spent 10 years working on this game and you think a couple of months are gonna be the difference between the $#!tshow from E3 and a "flawless day 1 copy"? Dream on... as for any 'extra content', I expect it will come in the form of a day 1 patch - which is ironic, considering their 'excuse' for this delay.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - whoever's in charge at Square Enix needs to get their $#!t together... yes, ...

Preferably both of those things... as the old saying goes - you can't polish a turd, but you can always paint it gold.

Apparantly Sony have set an October deadline with regards to devs releasing Neo-compatible games... at E3 Tabata said they weren't working on an upgraded version - that all he'd seen and heard were the same leaks and rumors as the rest of us.

If it's been delayed, it's likely due to technical issues with the game... Ironic name aside, Neoshock is right - that E3 demo was a mess.

"Higher quality"? Tell that to Metacritic... Besides, it's not as though The Talos Principle, Firewatch, The Witness, ARK: Survival Evolved, The Long Dark, We Happy Few and the other 'quality' indie titles are being priced like AAA games.

The No Man's Sky I've described (above and below) would be worth $100 dollars to me... say what you like about unrealistic expectations - if Hello Games want my business, they're gonna need to show some CD...

From what I've seen (and read in reviews) it gets repetitive after the first few hours... and it's not as though this game's development cost half of what a CoD or a Skyrim costs to produce - not to mention the fact that the majority of No Man's Sky's budget appears to have been spent on marketing.

I was just thinking Hello Games should take a look at what Sea of Thieves is doing and try to apply some of that to No Man's Sky... quests, crews, megafauna 'boss' fights and such.

Edit: and Star Wars style cantinas, which would be the perfect location for players to meet - assuming Hello Games can figure out how to spawn two or more players in the same location at the same time... if that can be achieved then players could really make their own stories - crafti...

What, you mean 1st person shooters?
I don't know if you noticed, but No Man's Sky looks a hell of a lot like a FPS... Either way, here's hoping Hello Games take some time to 'finish' their overpriced indie before they announce a port - the game obviously has potential, but it's gonna need some actual multiplayer, proper NPCs, crafting and some kind of purpose if they want $100.

I figure they'll port the PC version, which shouldn't be...

@Cornholio - that's hilarious... what are the odds?!

OT - I distinctly remember Murray said the only way to know what your character looks like was to meet another player and have them describe it to you... if that isn't possible then he lied.

The Wolf Among Us came out in 2013 - back when Telltale were still thought of as an indie dev... That said, it's probably my favourite Telltale series, though I think think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I went in without any pre-concieved notions regarding the Fables series - that and it was free (GwG), which never hurts.

Dr Who isn't obscure, but it isn't terribly popular either... I seem to recall somebody attempted an American adaptation (like Th...

Because the Doctor isn't half as popular as Game of Thrones, Batman, The Walking Dead, Minecraft, etc... Telltale are at a point where they're able to license the world's biggest franchises - if it weren't for EA's deal with the Disney they'd be making 'Tales from the Star Wars'.

Which is why I doubt they're doing a Mr. Robot game... it's a great show (gets better with each episode), but it basically tells the story of a guy who spend...

Damn... and here I thought I was late to the party!

I'm tempted to ask all sorts of plot and character related questions, but I guess the main thing I'd like to know is does the story maintain it's quality? I don't mind waiting, especially with regards to great anime - Hellsing, Attack on Titan, Code Geass (and it's 'Akito the Exiled' spin-off) taught me the virtues of patience - but it sounds like a complete Berserk adaptation could take decades...

I just finished watching the Golden Age Arc, so the only thing I want from life is to smash his pretty face... but this game can at least give me a shot at killing him, right? RIGHT!?
