I'd like to add that Gran Turismo "can" actually make you a better driver in real life. No, I'm not part of the GT Academy (probably never will either), however I can say I learned to actually pay more attention, and drive more carefully. There's certain things GT can actually teach a person that real driving can't, no matter how often you get behind the wheel.
Why?
This is one game I am amped about, next to H Hour.
I'd buy it, if I had the money.
I won't touch the online again until they actually do something that "wows" the majority outside "Heists" they keep hyping. Making your own online missions help, however, no one really talks about the pay from them. Not to abuse the fact of earning quick money, but to actually see if your efforts are paid in the right amount.
To the author,
I've gamed around the same time frame you did as well, and while the internet did make certain games easier to judge, there was also magazines called Nintendo Power/Tips n Tricks (I know there's more however those stood out the most.) As far as the opinion thing that's subjective; you can say opinions are formed from videos, however one thing to keep in mind is not every game has a demo so sometimes yes we do have to watch a video to see if someth...
For those who read the article -
In short, new project coming in the near future for consoles, no mention of GTA specifically, and I like how they explained why they don't do yearly releases of certain games.
For those who didn't read it - "OMG GTA 5 confirmed for PS$/XBone!!111!!! Can't wait to play it 1080/60 and a bigger multiplayer!!1111!!!"

Really thought I'm at a current burnout of Military shooters. They can film, "be there," and "talk" to soldiers all they want; unless they are actively there in the middle of a conflict they will never know.
Site says overpopular at the moment, check back later.
I'd like to at least play 1 and 2 to see how the series started.
I'd say the Golden Gun in Goldeneye over the RC-P90. In FF7 I remember having Master Summon with W-Summon and the HP-MP swap which took Emerald down quick.
The 2 on my list:
X Men arcade and Marvel vs Capcom 1. To this day I still play those every chance I get.
The ONLY time I'd go Digital on a game if its something I know 100% I will keep forever, AND its cheaper than retail. On the PS3 I have some digital games, and guess what? I play them for hours on end with 0 thought of returning them. At the same time, there's a lot of games I'd prefer to own on disc; biggest reason is to let friends test a game before buying, and second just in case it does end up being garbage I can either return it or trade with a friend. Third reason is in...
I could go all day about how flawed your counter-argument is, and why I'm not part of the "GTA 5 online hype train;" instead I'll say this: While the online can be argued to be fun, it's one of those games that you play for a limited time.
I know there's those few who will argue to the death "GTA online is the best, its fun, I can do X and Y and..." however here's where the problems start; how many will actually play this 6 months to...
I didn't agree/disagree so don't worry.
I'd say best overall experience would go to MGS on PS1; that game proved there is maturity in gaming and a stepping stone in gaming having a Hollywood style storyline.
I'd vote TLoU Game of the year; why GTA 5 got it is beyond me. I did have my fun with it however it was short-lived, and since I've found other games to occupy my time.
Don't
Play it, there's other, better games. This is coming from someone who did play the online and moved on.
And I'm part of that 20 million mark
I'm in the US, and tried both times to connect, now I know why I can't connect. I can connect through pc though so at least I know my account is still active and working right.
Edit
Ok my profile just came back up on the PS4, not a whole lot of people online but it is working at least for me now.

3.5 Billion "hot, gamer, women."
One of the rare Capcom games I'm actually waiting on; I hope to hell they don't screw this up.
This is one of those "no s-it" moments. Sony already stated multiple times F2P and subscription games do not need +; yet they still have to remind people multiple times the same info we already know.
