Which is crazy considering it's actually a musical term that by no means implies anything "extreme".

This will be the best hack'n'slash action game since Bayonetta, GOW2 before it, DMC3 before it, Ninja Gaiden before it.

Agree 100%. High-end PC's will power through Dark Souls regardless of how unoptimised it is. It's the crashes/weird glitches that have a chance of popping up that should be the most cause for concern, and even then, those are the things that are patched/ironed out or modded by players.

Well; my PC is plenty beefy enough to max out the unoptimised mess that is GTAIV and run it in 1080p with minimum 50fps... so I think I'll be over the threshold where I'm effected by much other than glitches/crashes (hopefully not too plentiful), framerates will probably still be OK if you pack enough muscle in your…

Haha I can't help but imagine them branding energy drinks with this and selling them along with it. Heh, just something about that name/logo.

My 3DS and PS3 are both going to get some love this year it seems. Currently having zero regrets about selling my 360 last fall in favor of getting a puppy. My dog is THE shit, where as the current xbox forecast IS shit.

Yes 3-5 hours is average active battery life for most MOBILE handheld devices. The big stinker with the Wii-U's battery life is that home console gaming is the environment most preferred by the hardcore gaming crowd, where in alot of cases, especially on weekends, 3-5 hours just doesn't cut it for a single play…

I think we can all agree that the winners of E3 this year were Blizzard, Valve, and Rockstar... and they weren't even there.

Open mouth, insert foot.

Thank you for connecting those dots for me. Also, I think your finger slipped and hit the "H". :P

Huh? Wasn't Viewtiful Joe Capcom/Production Studio 4?

Haha, you two didn't read past my first sentence, did you?

Well; the most surprising thing for me this year is the lack of Vita/3DS software revealed. I realize they have another conference focused on 3DS tomorrow, so I can't speak with finality on the 3DS, but the Vita for sure seemed pretty lacking.

My experiences are similar to yours, but the sad truth is that guys like us that enjoy having a meaty prolonged gaming session on a handheld be it home on the couch, on a plane, on a long bus ride, or wherever, are a very small minority in the portable gaming market of 2012.

Damn, this dude just had a crazy feel.

I've got a Verbatim 2TB External, and Verbatim is a shit brand. I download at least 250 gb a month, had this thing going a year and a half now, no problems at all. As for internal HDDs, I've always wen't WD or Seagate and never had an issue with either, but then thats just my story, maybe I'm lucky, maybe the latitude…

TB+ harddrives aren't all unreliable , and the ones that are, are no less reliable than the unreliable 500gb ones were, when that size format was new to the market. Technology continues to advance every day. Larger hard drives are the future, plainly speaking. Remember when a 1gb hdd was MASSIVE?

In the case of SC2 I specifically said ">1080P". Mine runs great in 1080p, too. But crank the res up to 2560 x 1200 and play one of those tug of war custom maps (where you just send units down the path.against eachother. You'll see what I mean.
