almost as good as the recent target deal that actually convinced me to break down and by an xbone: $450 + titanfall + 13 months of live - actually $430 with red card discount. considering i would have spent about $100 on titanfall and live anyway, i basically got the console for $330 - less than i spent on my ps4 (as it should be for the weaker machine.)
i knew i'd end up buying one eventually, i just didn't expect the price to drop so quick. glad to see ms eating a l...
the only way i can see the sony vr headset succeeding is if they makie it compatible with PCs.
nintendo needs to step up or the wii is going to continue to crash a burn. as long as they're doing stuff like devoting first-party dev time to garbage like steeldiver 2 (for the 3DS no less), they're going to continue to fail.
xbox ones are going for over $100 below retail on craigslist now. that can't be a good sign.
hope i get in to the beta. i'm not buying the game without trying it first.
got a good feeling about this game
MS needs to offer a kinect-less SKU. there are no games that take any meaningful advantage of the thing, and even if there were, i'm not interested. i don't like the idea of paying a premium for a component i don't even want.
maybe if the initial new-console-rush of sales slows down, they'll consider it.
super mario galaxy and super mario 3D land both felt like substantial evolutions of the formula, and made the hardware they were created for feel relevant (to me). 3D world was more of a minor reworking of previously explored ideas. still a great game of course, but not mind blowing.
i think the gears franchise has run its course. the core gameplay loop the series is based around doesn't seem to have a lot of wiggle room in terms of innovation/expansion... they'd really have to shake things up in order to get me interested in another sequel.
6.5 seems about right to me... i might even give it a 7 if i was feeling generous.
despite the poorly balanced difficulty spikes and surreally awful story and voice acting, when it worked it worked well and was fun to play.

if you had any clue what you were talking about, you'd know that dell make some of the highest quality monitors in the industry - they're a standard alternative for people who don't want to pay apple tax on cinema displays but still want IPS screens with accurate colors and high resolution.
the worst in the series? yes. horrible? no.
i do hope the franchise isn't dead and they do a another horror-focused game for next gen systems. if only EA had just reigned in their expectations of the IP, spent less money on trying to force it to be a blockbuster, and just let it flourish as a "niche" title (that could still move 2-3 mil units), and let it grow naturally.
if that's what capcom really thinks, we can expect them to go out of business this generation.
glad to hear there are more games on the system you wanted! to me, zombie u looks cool, wind waker hd is sort of compelling because of the fixes they implemented, but i didn't like the original very much so i'm weary of buying it again. other than that?
pikmin games are well made but not my cup of tea. wonderful 101 doesn't look appealing to me, either - i honestly haven't really enjoyed any platinum game despite trying them all (except revengeance which i m...
considering the wii u has about 3 games i'm interested in playing, and two of those are mario titles - i'd sure hope they're "brewing" something in the form of some support for their struggling console. i *want* to want a wii, but i can't justify spending $250 on a mario-machine.
except it's 3 mil shipped to stores, not sold. and anyone who's stepped foot in a major electronics retailer can tell you that there's a ton of units still sitting on shelves. the actual number of sold units is probably closer to 2 - 2.5 mil.
just a bone-headed attempt at satire by someone who clearly doesn't grasp the concept. move along, people.
i find it annoying that this level of detail wasn't paid to the PC version - my upper-mid range PC rig is far more powerful than my PS4, and yet the PC version of tomb raider looks closer to the PS3 version of the game.
Yup. Fanboys are crazy. The ps3 was DOOMED for years according to n4g and neogaf armchair analysts and we all know how that turned out - ps3 actually edged out the 360 in global sales (though it never caught up in the US.)
Now, we're literally a few months in to the new gen and I can't tell you how many times I've seen people declare that the xbox brand is dead. The xbox one is outpacing the 360 - and that's with direct competition with the ps4, while the 360 ...
