One lone xbro AGAINST THE WORLD! Not just this board.
Not so sure about that - reading through the "Which are you going to buy!" thing Amazon posted on Facebook there was ALOT of Xbros from the page or two of comments I read - literally a depressingly large amount - even many that said things like "The hardware is tons more powerful for XBone" that are obviously completely uninformed what they're talking about.

Now admittedly the IQ of some Facebook users is slightly above a goldfish but still - those people can spend money the same as all of us... might not be the slam dunk it looks like amongst bright folks.

I really don't care about the drm thing. I actually prefer the install it on the hd and throw the disc away, or full on digital download so i dont have to dig around and swap the fucking discs or worry about scratches and shit. I just don't want obama watching me masturbate while him and biden take turns sucking eachother off. If microsoft announced a $399 version withno kinecttomorrow I'd prolly switch right back to xbro. However, since they idiotically require the kinect to be plugged into the system for it to work, I don't see that happening. All the other shit is meaningless to me. Fuck the queer hdmi tv pass-through, I dont watch cable tv, Hulu plus $10 a month. Fuck the exclusives, snorefest. The ps4 box itself does look better, like a 90s dvd player instead of an 80s vcr, but that's not a deal-breaker. So far PS4 is in the lead with me.

Hair isnt swaying enough, I cant believe that is supposed wind effects. Also dudes sword was too small, should at least be 3x the length of his body.

So both consoles will require $$ per month to play online multiplayer?
Right. XBLG and PS+. The PS4onlyrequires it for online games though, no pay-gate for media shit like Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Though, it's not a big deal, since PS+ is a ridiculous value and you should have it even if you don't play online mulitplayer.

FINAL FANTASY XV - Battle Gameplay First Look (E3 2013)



Holy shit, I cannot wait for this.
Eh, the combat looks so un-interactive that it almost looks MMO-ish. Absolutely no collision detection no matter how large the enemy, randomly standing in the air and swinging a sword, etc. Either go full-on turned based if you want to go full on RPG/strategy mode, or commit to a somewhat realistic physics engine if you are going action/real time combat. Don't do some half-assed hybrid of both. Swinging a giant sword through a giant mob with no hint of collision while tons of numbers pop out of it's head makes me think of WoW or GW2, and MMOs aren't generally known for their stellar combat.

The graphics look nice, that little sample of gameplay looks like crap. That's definitely no where near FF + Dark Souls combat, like some were hoping. Not even close.
