    I think he's asking if the Kinect port has any other use planned.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Considering how much cheaper the Hybrid is and it loads 25% quicker.... Yeah, very much so. Not seen Hybrid vs Stock comparison though. But really the drive upgrade benefits seem negligible right now besides the obvious of space. SSD seems like a waste, hybrid is the only sensible way to...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Neogaf has had TLOU:R results that showed better loading performance for a SSHD than SSD. (44s vs 33s for the load at the start with the daughter)

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

    I'd say Tomb Raider handled the touchpad wrong and right at the same time. The really long press it wants for opening the map sucks - but the gestures are handy.

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

    Easier to hit select button in most stuff - but the touch features are handy at times (shrink/enlarge map like a smartphone being one of the frequent ones).

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    War Assets is just "the ending" stuff though. And Kai Leng was a bit nonsensical, but most games have a nonsensical antagonist here and there. Replace him with a squad of random dudes and cut out his scenes and it really would have been no different - he's easy to ignore.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    The ending was shit - but it's a 5-10 min blight on 30 hrs of a game (or 90 hrs if you count the series as a whole) that was otherwise next to perfect. And Extended Cut did at least make the appearance of some of the decisions mattering which was a large flaw with the original ending. (Not that...

    Yea, plat across the board for ME series, besides ME3 DLC and Arrival for ME2 I goofed one I need to fix some day.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I'm down for some clanning along with the wife, but we'll be starting late just sold this house (yea, was gonna rent it but got too good of an offer), and Sept 15 is their move-in date. So probably won't be active for a bit.

    Citadel is great, wife is about to do the others. Leviathan is supposed to be good, Omega mediocre from what I've seen.

    Araxen, considering the UDP throttling they're doing not sure that's such an obvious choice now. On cases I'd get it and see your own feel, wife swears by her M8 being cased the extra bulk isn't worth it to me though. And since screen replacement is free for something like 12 months and cheap...

    LG G3 is better in some regards, so I'd compare cost and features on both first. (not that either is that far behind the other besides M8 on camera) In-laws upgraded to the G3 recently and while I still prefer the M8, I can definitely see some rating the G3 higher.

    The Last of Us

    1 and 2 I'd agree with, 3 not so much. And first Blister on the school gave me fits, but I'd forgotten to keep Molotov cocktails for him. Was trivial on NG+ because of it. As for DS3, I went for a "cheap" weapon ASAP and played with a partner of which the combo really made it a joke.

    The Last of Us

    DS2/3 I assume you're talking about Dead Space? (There's a few DS# titles out there) I'd disagree completely with DS3 being tougher and I'd compare DS2 about equally - the only difficulty to DS2's was the save limit, each individual sequence was pretty trivial but the save limitations kept...

    True there's the durability issue too I forgot to account for that - I've had good luck on that though, most I've had is a few cracks on my screen (and completely functional) on my first.

    Still waiting on Moto 360. (Wife's still not gotten the OK to exercise, so exercise tracking isn't sensible yet - maybe at the end of the month on that, next appointment with the surgeon where she might get OKed is the 19th)

    In short - he Rickshawed Column one too many times and Column was Column and overblew the issue - and in light of that and some other stuff Sean had done in the past people started a revolt against him - and they de-modded him for it. Then Sean went on an epic post "."-ing spree and left for...

    Smartphones

    Most of the "chain upgrade" people are doing it to take advantage of the phone price subsidy, so they're usually paying a fraction of that - and if they don't that "subsidy" is part of the umpteen dollars a month they're paying for their line already because the phone companies assume you're...

    The Last of Us

    No HP/Ammo gauge, no listen ability, very low parts availability for crafting. (like 8 Shiv worth of parts all game) Feels slightly more aggressive as well. Almost zero ammo drops as well. It's hardcore.

    Grounded mode down. So satisfying. Although annoyingly you can't max collections while doing Grounded it seems, since there's not enough Shiv parts even with zero stabbing.

    Soy: Depends on the difficulty, if you're on Grounded that doesn't work the same.

    How do those compare to the PS Gold ones? Was considering the PS Gold - I'm assuming the extra $35 has a reason?

    If you want intense - Grounded Mode is where it's at.... Holy shit is it a brutal mode. Finishing up Chapter 10 now on it, but man some sections are insane in it.

    Gun control

    Big P: I said it's a matter of time for a reason. No doubt once reviewed it will get fixed. But right now there's a CHANCE that technicality could hurt someone. Hell, I was quoting a gun advocate saying the same.

    Moto G probably is the best option for you I'd imagine. Assuming it's T-Mobile friendly. Edit: it is for the right models.

    Playstation Plus+

    My presumption for subscription is that it'll be something like PS+ pricing a month honestly and since it needs PS+ to function, basically doubling your PS+ rate. So you'd have to be doing 2 games a month to really break even on the cost if my presumption is accurate. Even Music Unlimited...

    Health Care Thread

    Not to mention it's not actually an ACA problem - that's a problem with the insurance provider - the ACA didn't create ANY new insurance providers. So if one's doing something stupid, it's because that insurance provider is stupid - not because of the ACA.

    Playstation Plus+

    Hmm they're apparently pretty confident on offering subscription for it eventually that sounds - no reason to mention "We're seriously considering it" otherwise.

    Nothing like that's been announced so far - and sounds like if they will it will be part of the "PowerUp Points" stuff which is relatively weak.

    Border Issue

    I think it's the grammar that kills me - as should be apparent, my brain and proper English are not the best of friends. So rather than listing things in a sensible format by how I'd write it, they always do these intentionally tricky wordings for no real reason other than to make a simple...

    Honor Bound - ios, android - Rage of Bahamut meets Final Fantasy

    Looks pretty and up my alley - will give it a shot later. Full disclosure - I do end up playing about 1 Android game in 20 that I try longterm though - lots appeals but few I really find I stick with.
