Games look pretty budget, and the Sev Zero character looks like he is always in the same position, found it quite annoying. But who knows, guess we will have to wait and see.
Would rather a delay to get the game just right, than have a game rushed to meet a date and then have the experience hurt.
The guy was tasked with putting out good PR for the bone and has since become the face of the xbox so this move makes sense. But this is still the same guy blaming messaging over the actual problem so I'll reserve judgement for when we see his actual influence and changes.
@georgeenoob: They could give a crap about attach rate, the game was supposed to move consoles. Judging by the rash of bone discounts and sales over the last week in an obvious attempt to bolster March NPD numbers, it's safe to say it did not meet expectations.
As for Phil, I'm glad a game guy is now in charge, but this is the same guy still blaming messaging over the actual problem. I don't think he is the second coming of the original Xbox team, but he is a s...
Funny that Xbox fans are tired of hearing about having the weaker ports, but they sure loved it last gen when they got the better version of the multiplats especially at the beginning. Me personally, I have both consoles and like to hear which one has the better version so I make an educated purchase to get the most bang for my buck, and I think as long as there is a significant difference the comparisons aren't going away.
You would never see a video like this from that other company. Well now you might since they like to adopt everything Sony is doing, but anyway.
Sony has been great, from random free $10 PSN credit just for being a customer to videos like this, you can tell Sony appreciates their customers, where the other company just expects their customers. 2 very different attitudes and that's why one of them is steamrolling sales without having to reduce price and pack in their lat...
I'm more disappointed that Colin Moriarty has a job, the guy sucks, in fact the IGN beyond team as a whole is pretty much garbage. Everything from the lame forced "beyond" they yell expecting the audience to yell it back to how they come off acting like they are bigger stars than they are. smh
Xbox Fitness is pretty good overall, but there are some nagging issues with it.
For one, if it disconnects from live through your workout it boots you out of the program you're doing and you lose all your session goals.
Another problem is they do not have complete fitness programs, just a couple workouts from different series.
Third is Kinect, it's pretty good at tracking you, but sometimes you will be doing a series and it completely...
Yeah people seem to be getting bored of the game already, so giving free DLC should definitely help that since there isn't another AAA title on the way for quite a while people won't have moved on just yet.
Adding in a free pack in game and dropping the price $50 only 4 months in is not something a great selling item normally does. Couple that with the silence from Microsoft, a company that loves to boast when it has great sales figures to boast about, and I'd say it's far from selling great. But March NPDs are going to be interesting nonetheless.
I think this is pretty telling that Titanfall didn't get them the numbers they had hoped for. Crazy to see a 10% price reduction only 4 month into a consoles life, coupled with a free $60 game and that reduction become closer to 20%.

It did 10% better without a price drop and/or including the game free.. aka very impressive..
By the way N4G isn't the only site on the internet that favors Sony this gen, pretty much any site that doesn't have an "xbox," "microsoft" or anything related in it's name are pretty much all the same, oh and in real life too.
Neither is Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare.
Thanks for the post, I hate clicking through 10 pages for silly top lists. Gave ya a "helpful" bubble.
There was a hard level trophy in the first 2 Infamous games, so I assume there is probably one in Second Son also. I usually play my hero side first on the normal/medium difficulty, then go back and play the evil side on hard.
I'm glad they are finally doing this. I use GameFly, but Redbox sends free 1 night coupons all the time if you are on their texting list, and it works great for short games like Ryse and Ground Zeroes.
There are far to many advantages to physical media opposed to digital.
Digital pros:
-Can buy the second it's available no matter the time of day
-Have near instant access to your library (don't have to get up and swap a disc)
Physical pros:
-Can resell your copy
-Can loan your copy
-Can rent copies
-Because there are multiple retailers competing for your dollar, the price drops faster

I'm about to turn 40 in May and I'm complete opposite to you. I use to love multiplayer games, but now I find myself loving single player experiences and having nothing to do with multiplayer. My dad however is 60 and all he plays is cod and battlefield so I think age really hasn't much to do with your genre preference.
