    Titanfall

    Yeah, the dedicated racing setups are nice. I will probably buy into one once all of the compatability issues with this gen switch are known. It would suck to blow a grand and not have it work with the new stuff.

    The Last of Us

    Any idea how big the team was for this game, and how long it was in development for? Seems like this had to have had a massive budget. Im sure sales are pretty good, but i hope it doesnt end up like Bioshock Infinate and lose its ass. Fantastic game though, one of my all time favorites...

    Titanfall

    It was more of a combination of Forza as a launch title with TitanFall coming in 2014. I know its on PC, but my PC is set up as a HTPC now and i dont really have a good place to use a mouse/kb. If they were both launch titles, i would probably have one ordered already to go with my PS4! But...

    Titanfall

    This and Forza are making it really freakin hard to not pre-order an Xbone.

    The Last of Us

    Finished the game over the weekend. I think it goes into my personal top 10 of all time. Am i the only one who hopes they do NOT do a sequel? It seems like, especially this generation, that some series have suffered from constantly pouring out sequels just make a buck or satisfy fans. I think...

    I'm really starting to think MS had zero intentions to release this year. All this crap just seems so half baked and thrown together. If its not a rush job, then Jesus they are so out of touch it is just sad. Sonys production schedule must be insane to pump out that many units.

    I think they targeted their marketing research at the wrong group. I still don't think the hardcore gamer is their target audience. They want the ios crowd. Any data pulled from that group would likely lead them to think an all digital approach would be fine. They completely failed to think who...

    Definitely keeping my ps4 preorder. (Feel like I have to say that or face the wrath of the the Sony defense force) As a huge Forza fan, I will probably be preordering an Xbone as well. I tried to tell myself Driveclub would at least hold me over, but it is not getting very positive attention...

    Found one with a 4GB mem card on CL in my area for $125, would that be worth picking up if it isn't beat to hell?

    I personally think that the lack of Indie support is going to hurt the Xbone the most in the long run. 2 years ago i couldn't have given 2 shits about the hot new Indie game, most of them were just some new hipster focused platformer or something similar. Fast forward to today, Indie titles are...

    The Last of Us

    The level designs are pretty amazing as well. No mini map or anything like that at all, and all of the areas just "flow" perfectly together. I haven't played many other Naughty Dog titles, but this makes me want to go back and check them all out. I am pretty blown away.

    The Last of Us

    I would definitely classify this game as primarily stealth. If you have played Starbreeze's Escape from Butcher Bay, its is very close to that with less pure shooting sections. There are sections where you can shoot your way through, but i dont think i have EVER had more than 25 bullets total in...

    The Last of Us

    I got to "Winter" last night before i had to turn it off. The older i get i care less and less about gameplay (as long as it is fun enough) and more about the story, and to me this game is a near perfect mix. I am playing on normal and there is just enough challenge to make it fun, but not so...

    Laptop bags

    I've carried one of these nearly every day for the past 2 years. When I ordered it I was worried about it looking too military/tacticool for a business environment but it actually goes well with anything from shorts to business casual. Plenty of pockets, very good padding on the laptop...

    Destiny

    I like story driven games. In fact, i have trouble playing a game anymore that doesnt have at least some sort of narrative. However! A lot of recent games have become all about the cinematic's at expense of actual gameplay and that sucks. I cant wait for this game, its the style that i have...

    The past 2 nights i have been playing Killzone 2 ($3 bucks used!) with the PS3 controller and i just hate it. Its not even the sticks that bother me, its the triggers and the shape of the horns or hand grips or whatever. I just cant get the thing comfortable in my hand. Are there any decent...

    This is the one thing im really not that surprised about. They designed all of this connection required crap and there are a ton of countries right now that have no or very limited access to XBL. The thing just flat out doesn't work if you cant connect to XBL. But dont worry, MS will be glad to...

    Regarding Plex and Roku, anyone actually use that? Im working on outting together an HTPC right now and was wondering if it worked well.

    Trust me i know, i haven't had cable/satellite in over 3 years. I've got 3 Roku's, 2 360's and a PS3 that all get used for Netflix/Hulu plus other streaming content from the various devices. If i could at some point plug a Roku into an Xbone and have that seamlessly integrated with all the quick...

    Random thoughts: At this point in time there is ZERO reason to own an Xbox One over a PS4, but i could see this changing in the future. I honestly thought that some of that TV stuff they showed was cool, and i could see people wanting it IF they can really work with cable providers, and even...

    Yup! The people that made the Wii the financial success that it was has moved on to the tablets and smartphones. I have tried for years to get my 9 year old into various Nintendo IP's. Zelda, Mario, Smash, Mario Kart... He would play them for a few days at the most then back to Minecraft and CoD...

    Yeah, i really hope Sony can get the UI right. I know a lot of it is personal preference but i really hate the XMB compared to XBL.

    As much as the general public love Mario, i really don't see the WiiU selling well at all. There is a whole new generation of people out there that recognize Angry Birds before Mario. And for $300+ and $60 bucks a game you get some side scrolling platformers that non core gamers cant tell apart...

    From what i have read, the CPU is less powerful than even the PS360 but the GPU is more powerful and has much newer technology (Tessellation etc). It also appears to be a complete bitch to port PS360 games to it, with pretty much now hope of porting anything designed exclusively for the PS4 or...

    Ive never been a huge fan of either companies first party output other than Halo, Gears, Forza and GT. Uncharted and God of War were cool, but never just blew me away. Third party studios have always put out the stuff that i really enjoy, and im happy to see none of my favorites so far are...

    I posted earlier this week that I understood why MS may be going the route they decided to. I also assumed that some form of DRM was going to be standard going forward. I also said I would wait for E3 to decide if there is a compelling reason for having a required online connection to play...

    It's pretty crazy, I honestly figured that both systems would have similar DRM after the MS announcement. With everything announced at the Sony event I kind of think they have to, because right now there is zero reason to buy an Xbone.

    Whatever advantage MS thought they were bringing to big publishers isn't going to matter at all now when the PS4 outsells the Xbone 3 to 1 if not more... I've really have never seen two competing devices release which such an overwhelming advantage to one side. There is literally zero...
