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

    Checkerboard is pretty damn nice, but it wouldn't surprise me if they hit native. The GPU is significantly more powerful than the Pro.

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

    You do realize that it's going to work on every game on the console going forward, right? Any anyone who has played the same game on an Xbone and a Pro can tell you the difference absolutely is massive, so it will be an even bigger difference with the X. And based on the usual Steam survey, the...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Harvest Arrows are your best friend. After killing any creature with canisters on it you should shoot those canisters off with Harvest Arrows. Make sure it's before you loot it! Lot's of people don't know about this and end up short on resources and struggling. You won't ever have that problem...

    I spent the afternoon with my nephew showing him how the Switch works and playing some Mario Kart and he absolutely loves it. The Smart Steering even has my niece enjoying the game, and the little joy cons are a pretty good size for 6 and 7 year old hands. On the plus side the Switch itself is...

    It's $14.99 at Best Buy, $11.99 with GCU.

    Yeah, I don't think a baby would bother me too much, but I'd be on the wrong side of 60 before they even graduated high school. These are my selfish years and I'm not sure I want to spend them changing diapers and dropping someone off at the movies/mall until I die. Never say never and all that...

    One of these days he probably will. Luckily he doesn't know what HZD is yet. He already has my old PS4 and plays Skylanders, Disney Infinity and the Lego games on it, but I haven't introduced him to the good stuff yet. He's about to turn 6 and getting him used to the dual analogue controls was a...

    By come to him he meant his area, which just happens to be the area I live. Most of these auctions are 30-45 minute drives minimum, so I don't think he was expecting someone the next street over buying it. We are meeting inside Zaxby's this evening. If I lived in a shadier area I'd be more...

    So I was just pissing around on Craigslist to see how the scalping is going, and I found a guy that lives less than a mile away selling a new Switch with Zelda and Mario Kart for $400. In his post he mentions selling for $375 if you come to him. So this evening I'm going to pick it up for about...

    True. They didn't outright say it, but when has Blizzard ever done anything "very challenging" in terms of technology? They are about as play it safe, by the book as any gaming company. And getting a decent looking Overwatch that runs at 60 fps would definitely be a risk on the Switch. Besides...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    And it just went up. I can only imagine the reception it's going it and the memes that will be produced if it isn't absolutely epic after the leak of the codename and why they called it such.

    Wipeout 4K60 fps on the Pro looks really, really, nice. I'll still probably wait for a sale, but it's definitely on my radar. Well, the lower resolution, streaming pop-in, and foveated view on the regular PS4 are complaints for many PSVR users. Even the Pro isn't ideal (tracking) but it's much...

    Blizzard just said last month a Switch version of Overwatch wasn't happening. The Switch hardware hasn't changed since then. I'm going with fake.

    I thought so as well, until I tried the RE7 demo and came out completely on the other side of the argument. Since then I've experienced plenty of VR experiences that have convinced me it's legit. I'm kinda on the Scorpio wait and see Bandwagon as well, but unless Microsoft shits the bed I'll...

    And for the record, GameStop had pre order Switches, shipping 6/17 on their site for three straight days this week. I know because I went back and forth about getting one for my nephew and had one in my cart for two days. Also, here are some facts the next time you want to rifle off some...

    Actually, you don't know that. The Switch was ahead but the supply constraints have killed that already. They literally sold less in May than in April. And we can we please quit with this "massive demand, lines in Japan" bullshit? They are shipping absolutely nothing, it's not shocking that...

    The omission of a 4k drive was bullshit, and the reason I didn't jump in on day one, but my PS4 time quadrupled when I upgraded to the Pro. It and a 4k tv are a substantial upgrade. The reason my Xbone does nothing but collect dust is because multi-platform games look like shit on it compared to...

    Hahahaha! So the big Pokemon savior that would sell a billion Switches is a fucking fighting game port from the Wii U? And the 3DS will get two new mainline Pokemon games in the meantime?...how's that unified development going? Not that it matters, these inept fucks at Nintendo still can't get...

    Nintendo is still backwards as fuck when it comes to anything outside of making games, but as stupid as the paid online is it's significantly better than what they announced before.

    When there is some actual news or games to play it might be that way. You don't really expect people to be talking about old indy games because they've been ported to the Switch? Mario + Rabbids looks like it could be interesting, but I need to see some footage. I'm sure after E3 people will...

    The fact that you are defending points 3 and 4 all but assures that you are one of those NeoGAF faggots. And let's not talk about retard Special Olympics when your defense of the indefensible is, "doesn't bother me... derp!"

    No, it's not. Just another in a long line of things he's wrong about. The dude literally hasn't been right about anything in this thread. Where do you get 5 million in sales from?

    You're so full of shit. Do I need to pull up multiple posts where you flat out stated that you couldn't give a shit about the portability? You've constantly stated you bought it to play with your imaginary friends. And you keep bringing up the fact that people can't afford $300 to spend on this...

    But it's not a logical argument. Real collectors don't just want the box, they want what came inside it. No one displays boxes for shit they don't own. At least not any collector I know, and as a collector myself, I've known many. Only a lame ass poser would display a box for a product they...

    Bro Team details his tumultuous relationship with Machinima in a long forum post.

    That Fallout 4 video is garbage. I mean, I could see 16 year old me enjoying it but an an adult it's pretty fucking awful. And I say this who likes extremely juvenile humor. Dude should thank his lucky stars there are enough people with bad taste out there that this tripe earns him a living.

    Calling that list of highly anticipated games full of "played out sequels" is ironic, considering the only two games worth playing on the Switch are Zelda, which is like the 20th game in series and Mario Kart which is not only a Wii U port, but has a dozen games of it's own. By your own...

    No more demand, just absolutely shit for stock. U.S. sales: March 906,000 sales. April 280,000 sales. And in Japan sales dropped in half this week, down to 24k. Either Nintendo doesn't know wtf they are doing and are missing out on a ton of sale opportunities, which is extremely likely, or...

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    You can tell these guys loved System Shock with how they basically made this game an homage to it. I'm only about 10 hours in so far and have to keep putting it aside due to RL shit, but I'm definitely feeling the old SS vibes and the further I get into it the more I'm enjoying it. Like spronk...

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    I read their elaboration, which doesn't change the fact that it's trending lower than the last game from the same developer and publisher. A game, btw, which was readily available for $19.99 a month after release from multiple retail stores. And Mass Effect 2 sold the vast majority of it's...

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    Based on the only physical sales numbers available, which are UK sales. It's sold almost 60% less than Dishonored 2 did at release, which sold 38% less than Dishonored. Prey: is Bethesda's review policy really to blame? The top Steam slot means nothing, especially when nothing else of note was...

    The game seems to be selling pretty poorly, so if you're on the fence you can probably wait a bit and get it at a cheap price soon enough.

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    As someone who also doesn't get Dishonored, and owns but had yet to try Dishonored 2, I wouldn't write off Prey, especially not based on the PS4 beta. It's, on PC at least, pretty damn good and definitely feels like System Shock. With all the excellent games released this year there is no way in...
