    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Walmart near me had all games in stock both PS4/Xbone. If youre on the fence on any game go ahead and jump in on that deal. I have to agree with this. I put in a few hours of Knack last night and it's a perfect low frills game you can jump right into. $60 might be too much for it but as a...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The PS4 UI has a decent design. The less garbage on my screen the better. There's almost no slowdown while navigating it. A few useless apps/inputs that need to GTFO and some user customization would go a long way. I give it a 7/10.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm somewhat discouraged by the amount of pay to win bullshit that is in 2k14. I have a feeling it is only going to get worse which is completely ridiculous when you're already paying $60. The gameplay is great but all the myGM/myPlayer stuff seems pretty poor. Outside of Football Manager I...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    My controller is fine but my left thumb blistered after only an hour of Resogun. Would think it was a reaction to the rubber but who knows. The only other time I messed up my hand from gaming (not counting psuedo-carpal tunnel) was when I was like 12 and slamming an N64 joystick into my palm.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    My PS4 works but I haven't been able to play around much with it because PSN is a pile of shit. I skipped the 360/PS3 so I'm not real familiar with the Online networks, are they standard MMO fare where it will suck ass for a week then even out? My games don't get here until next week (tried...

    I was able to b2g1 with NBA2k14 OOS on Amazon right when it went live. Theyre probably getting hammered now and are limiting the number of codes theyre letting through. Would keep trying.

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    I would gladly have someone pay half rent before half mortgage. I guess things are different in Canada or are we not talking monthly? Half rent would actually pay for my mortgage if we arent factoring in taxes/insurance.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    You know the joke about script writing technobabble with <INSERT SCIENCE HERE> ? This show is the serious version of a parody of that.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I had major concerns after the pilot. After watching episode 2, this show is DOA. It'll chug along with the built in audience for a while but at this rate I'm not even sure it gets past a second season which is a fuck up of a colossal order given what it started from.

    a) servers are up b) i agree on fates. they hit the sweet spot of encouraging grouping but not forcing you to sit LFG for a group all day. as mentioned, they arent new. but they took what existed and made it better. they did a blizzard on that too bad they still have 2004 blizzard...

    They didnt fail the first launch. They failed at making a game. The resources they poured into the second game did a solid job in my opinion. The problem is they went from having no one play the pile of shit that was the first launch on hardware that I assume is leftover from FFXI and didn't...

    Well the problem is a ton of people pounding the servers this week won't be playing in a month and the extra infrastructure will be pointless. Didn't it take Blizzard like two years to upgrade their servers even with all the money they made?

    Wish we knew what the reduced rates were vs extra xp. Both sound good. The gear wear one isnt worth it while leveling.

    The part of Coerthas I ran through to get the teleport looked mid 30s to me. Even though my lv30 GC hunting log has a mob there the lowest lvl I saw was 32.

    Compared to the 3012 bullshit last weekend today has been fine. They're trying to fix the issues, we're gettingsomecommunication and the parts of the game that work are working very well.

    At lv35 in the beta on a marauder I was using internal release, raging strikes, bloodbath, berserk, etc all the time and it got really annoying on any big fate fight like Cancer or the giant rock because you have 7 "instant" skills to use as part of your normal rotation along with a couple other...

    This is my largest issue with the gameplay at the moment.
