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

    DMK lives in a nation where apparently PS3 and PC have an incredibly low online population so that they're unpalatable platforms to do multiplayer stuff on - if it can happen to 2 out of 3 this gen - there's no reason to not suspect that the last dog in this race might fall onto that same list...

    While that's overexaggerated - variety in online partners for PVP (which looks like almost ALL of the online lineup for X1 right now) is a ton funner when you're actually pairing up against different groups constantly. If you've got a 20 vs 20 PVP game (a nice target to most people from what...

    The Last of Us

    To be fair, I bet most of the art assets could've been largely done by scanning tech with just a slight pass to "dirty them up" - while its amazing what they did, I'm sure there's at least some reasonable shortcuts when you're making one based on real objects. But even when it comes to stuff...

    Him skipping the word "robust" really completely makes the context undistinguishable.

    The Last of Us

    Eh, I'd skip hard and go for Survival if you've got it unlocked - it's not THAT much harder than hard, and might as well knock out the trophy. Main difficulty addition is the loss of the "Hearing Mode"

    The Last of Us

    I think they had some packing errors too - I had to contact them for mine, since mine didn't have it included - they were cool about supplying it when I contacted them about the error though. (Of course it was literally Day One for it - so it was a given that I wasn't fibbing)

    Still not played the Batman games yet - even own them on PC but not gotten around to it - will have to keep an ear out.

    True hadn't bothered checking that part - just was surprised. Figured you'd at least sunset the 360. Not disappointed I switched ~2 years back after my third DVD failure that they kept not repairing and sending back to me on 360's - not sure what my take would be if I was sitting on both...

    Oh wow, didn't realize that was him voicing (and apparently mocap'ing too) him. So drastically different than his Drake voice IMO.

    Boycotting 360 now even, Sean? Figured you'd at least ride out the 360 preference until next gen.

    Heh, neat - never realized you could claim sales tax - not that I think my sales tax receipts would ever be high enough since my income taxes are pretty high here in MD, but interesting.

    eXarc: Actually meant it differently - that's a less efficient way then usually throwing the item and throttling them while stunned from it - the damage they take for a few seconds while stunned is WAAAAAAAAAAAY higher. 1H kill with all melee weapons, and 1-2H kill with punches. Can also...

    Bricking or Bottling someone to stun them superpowers your melee for a couple while they're stunned too - 1 hit kills with most melee weapons and 2 punches otherwise generally.

    That's rather depressing, didn't see that - shame to see Ellie's story end, even though it was clear in the Epilogue that Joel's wasn't going to be enough to go into a second game.

    The Last of Us

    I really hope there's a continuation of The Last of Us into the next gen - but Naughty Dog has a history of only having an IP be a single system - which would mean TLOU2 would be PS3 in a few years, or nonexistent unless they change their stripes. I hope to God they change their stripes. (Or...

    Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (STEAM!)

    I never had the arcade budget to ever play it too much (parents hated me doing the arcades - so they'd always give me my allowance completely away from when I'd hit the mall until I was driving myself but never saw this machine once I was driving anymore [lived in the boonies though]) but loved...

    Scratched off S/N is illegal in many states last I checked (at least involving a resale) - be careful it might indicate it's "hot" - and make a note of his contact info just in case you ever get a visit because of such so you can at least try to give appropriate breadcrumbs. On cleaning up...

    Sean: Additionally I wonder how many of each of the systems in those sales were replacements for RROD and YLOD - since we know that 360's reliability left something to be desired for quite a while there - YLOD wondering included for fairness since PS3 did fail sometimes, although not as...

    I enjoy debating people that are "wrong" - I guess it's a personality flaw. Subjective - I can notice almost any option I flip on personally besides frame rate dips (until ~30 fps) - but I can notice AA even with just one grade of improvement myself - I do have exceptional vision however, so I...

    Interesting, only online store I know of that does that then - I know many others do various paygating to prevent it. Guess Amazon doesn't. (And note, you clipped my full quote - I did try to make it clear I wasn't 100%)

    Gaige: To continue the PC analogy - on PC's since they share architecture (as XBox180 and PS4 will) they almost always include options or engine tweaks to adjust for the power of the machine in question because they're relatively trivial to add in - they're often ignored when things need to be...

    E3 is largely there to help build up inertia - they just let PS4 get all the initial inertia as a result.

    It's a good thing we're talking about the Xbox One and not the Xbox 360, isn't it? After all based on your reasoning Xbox 360 must've lost this past generation hard because PS2 completely dominated the market - it treated the rest of the industry like a red-headed stepchild named Gaige.

    It's got some neat exclusives - it's not hard to say that it is right now - the hardware is worse however. But good games > good hardware when it comes to exclusives. (Not that I have or plan to own a Wii/WiiU)
