I don't think anyone was realistically expecting a super high quality piece of machinery here. You're basically looking at sixty bucks for the Pip-boy and case.
Personally, if I don't like the look of mine, I'll try to find a local artist who can make it looked distressed. Maybe try to match that mini-nuke PC collection I bought.
Looks like what they're doing across the board, now, though. Seems like they're resigned to the idea of not being able to catch Sony this gen, so they are concentrating their PR on the things they do really well, like having a lot of online users, great attach rates, making money, etc. It's smart.
Yeah, we may never know the real split, but a lot of different products went into that number. Special edition consoles, games, headsets, controllers, etc. Good to see the franchise isn't dead.
Your right about the sales numbers, though. MS's biggest franchise versus Sony price drop... FIGHT!
He's saying that both consoles are aiming for a better picture and letting the resolutions drop a bit if necessary, versus cutting effects and such just to hit a pixel count.
You only have to avoid them for a week, you can do it!
No, it doesn't. Burnout Revenge is one of, if not the, best racers in history, and it has pretty abysmal graphics by today's standard.
I imagine it had a lot to do with Bungie not being a part of the games anymore. I could certainly seeing people question the franchise when the studio who created it moves on and gets replaced with a brand new group.
Don't as of yet have an X1, but you can rest assured the MCC and Halo 5 will be there when I do. Syndicate can sit on a shelf for a year or so, then I might pick it. The setting doesn't interest me that much and the series as a whole has gotten pretty stale after Revelations (except for the ship/pirating aspect of Black Flag, that was legit).
There's no way Battlefront will be on EA Access by early next year, if ever.
Spawn and battlefield shaping is by far the biggest issue for me. There's no reason for an Imperial to be able to sit in a personnel turret back behind the Rebel spawn points.
Also, it has the same issue that many objective-based MP games do... it's not necessarily worth going for the objective. When you can easily score thousands of points by just camping out and getting kills, it makes the points for taking uplinks, blasting AT-STs, etc, not be worth the effort some...
It definitely helps, but you can bring them down without a strike if you work the objectives for a lot of walker assault time. But sometimes you get a team happy with hiding in the rocks and sniping at people and you're screwed.
Aim assist on PC, WTF? I wish they'd get rid of it on console games.
EA needs to bring back Skate already. I much preferred that series over Tony Hawk.
And while I'm on the subject, Take-Two needs to get it together and give us another Top Spin one way or another. Heck, I'd take another table tennis game, that one Rockstar did was pretty good.
I had no idea there was a Tour de France game. Not that I'm going to play it or anything, but it does make me realize there is a definite shortage of sports games outside of football, basketball, etc. Where's my Top Spi, Virtual Tennis, Skate, and the other really good sports games on these new consoles?
That's a nice idea, but I just don't think it'd hold up if all gaming was suddenly switched to PC. We'd soon end up with BS like much more hardcore DRM and the largely illegal cd key places like you mentioned would get cracked down on.
Not if all the console people moved there. The publishers would see that's where the money is and the "cheap" PC gaming would start to dry up.
This series really need to pull back to a 2 year release schedule. Give it more time for polish and avoid some of the AC burn out so many people have now.
You're wanting to see Ocelot in EVA's uniform, aren't you?
From what I've seen it's definitely an improvement on the year one content, but I think many people can't bear shelling out almost the price of a new game just to make Destiny what it should have been a year ago. Not with what has came out recently and is coming out in the next couple of months.
True, but I imagine a large part of that is that the reviewers may not find a lot of bugs. They have to play it relatively fast, or not really get to play everything in order to get the review out. While Bethesda games always have bugs, you can easily do a playthrough and not find many if you don't really explore.
