this. i'll buy any reasonably priced system so long as it has the games

ubisoft made me create some kind of login something or other to play far cry 3. after i uninstalled far cry 3 i stopped caring whatever happened to that login info let it rot

the US is way bigger than most european countries there are regions in the US where 75k a year is low income (ie just enough money to afford rent in a cheap apartment) there are regions in the US where 75k a year is filthy rich (ie enough money to buy a HUGE house with tons of land all around it)

took the survey

ehhh i dont want to click a link from a poster with 4 posts

sony "lost" (the first few years, in america) because the ps3 was stupid expensive microsoft will lose this whole generation for being both $100 more expensive, and the drm fiasco cost them a lot of goodwill

just started playing this for the first time, got a bounty hunter to level 10 so far, having a pretty fun time so far. trying to convince my wife to play, got her to make a character, but she was immediately turned off by the combat being "slow and confusing" and "not enough gold to find" (her favorite games are borderlands and diablo...) i'll see if i can get her to try again is there a toggle to get melee combat to feel less clunky? like being able to right click an enemy from far away and have your character actually move into range to engage instead of just giving an error message? thats how i remember it working in guild wars and it felt a lot smoother

it might be easier if you think of it like this: when you buy a dvd you expect to be able to play it on your dvd player, or bring it to a friends/parents house to watch together. this is how console games have always worked as well. not only do developers know that multiple people may play a console game, its actually encouraged in console games to play together - games are frequently made for multiple people all to play on the same screen at once (called splitscreen) but only ONE copy of the game is needed. its been like this since the 80's, and console gamers are a pretty nostalgic group of people in my experience

well xbox 360 had only ONE good exclusive game (shadow complex) and the ps3 had at least 2 (uncharted 2, demons' souls) it remains to be seen whether any of the next gen non-nintendo systems will end up with good exclusives neither the xbone or the ps4 appear to have any exclusive game that i would buy a system solely for (yet) the only game announced so far that makes me even want ANY console at all is Destiny, and that might end up on PC...

all i saw was ryse, that digital-only killer instinct remake and dead rising 3. does microsoft have more exclusives than those?

what is microsoft doing that is better than what sony is doing?

I want gameplay, I want battle footage, I want menus. I want things. yeah, so like, all the stuff you would see when playing it on the playable version they hopefully have on the floor if they dont have a playable version at their booth though, then i'm really confused why they haven't shown this stuff yet

if its playable on the floor then im not too surprised they didnt show a ton of footage, the game has been shown multiple times before

mirrors edge 2 is the only new announcement that so far has gotten me genuinely excited i guess i will end up with more than 2 games in my origin account after all

well if titanfall is coming out on 360 next spring then yeah i guess a lot of games will probably still be coming out for 360 next year. by 2015 though i imagine most everything will be coming out on next gen systems only

Rare died as a company many years ago, only the name is still around for some reason but yeah, that killer instinct sequel/remake is going to be awful

yikes, xbone is $499 thats the most i would have expected any of the new consoles to cost, and its $100 more than i was expecting the xbone to be since the system seems to be so heavily subsidized by advertising, publisher drm catering schemes and subscription revenues

Ryse of the QTE? no thanks, im very much sick of QTE in my games.

i hate the nwn and nwn 2 engine. infinity was better

my first major crpg's were fallout and baldur's gate, and im not sure i have the patience to play crpg's much older than that i've never really tried though

whoa that warhammer 40k game sounds like it has some serious potential

its like microsoft heard about that whole "gamification" of life thing from 5 years ago and decided "omg that totally IS the future!!!1!!" not realizing of course that they are a retard factory achievements for watching tv! congratulations! you watched it! sat immobile for hours! level up! you are now a tv viewer level 6, you earned a virtual hat for your virtual avatar who is depicted as being a watcher of television on a couch! level up!

to me, the always online requirements are more of a deal breaker than the no-used games thing. yeah on pc we don't have used games, but we also don't have a requirement that all games be always online. some games are, like diablo 3. but most aren't, and of those few that are, i don't usually buy them because i dont like always-online requirements on my games.

i would say warcraft 2 was vastly superior to any of blizzards recent games for its time but yeah, its very dated now. starcraft holds up pretty well though, barring some UI issues

the world design is great, but the level design is awful and i ended up having to force myself to finish the game once i got to around the halfway mark and realized it wasn't going to improve
