Yep second play throughs or obsessive compulsively exploring and re-exploring every inch of the place. But that can feel like a fool’s errand as well. I thought I had explored all of the first area and still found stuff when I revisited.

Forget Sony and Microsoft for a minute, they are doing what they can to make their product more desirable. I will not fault them for doing what they can to get an advantage.

One other thing after reading a lot of comments (and this is not a direct reply to any).

I did not really play it much last gen but once a few buddies picked up the game this gen I've been into it more. The experience is much smoother than it was a year ago and I genuinely enjoy it.

It was my impression that MLS was desperate for Altidore to go to New York to replace Henry but Toronto would not be bought off with the $7.5M that New York offered for their allocation position. Toronto was put into a similar position in 2008 when they were pretty much forced to trade their legitimate claim to…

Toronto cares about an NFL team, its just kind of hard to care about somebody else's team. At the end of the day to most sports fans this felt like a cynical cash grab. It attracted richer fair weather fans as opposed to true football fans.

I think the ultimate point to all of this has to be that there has been heavy fan involvement in Vampire for years. Activision released an ultimately broke game that was never supported. The game lives on mostly due to the love and dedication of a small user base. Why CCP would go after any modders now, a decade…

This whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. From Ubisoft releasing a buggy game on all 3 platforms to embargoing the reviews until well after most people would have picked up pre-orders. You can love or hate Ubisoft games but for the most part they've always run well and done what the developer expected them…

Rockstar are flat out geniuses. They could have released an enhanced game with better graphics and the Online portion and it would have received top metacritic ratings and sold well. Basically they just flipped the bird to any other gaming company that is looking for a quick buck on a fast turn around enhanced…

The optimist in me looks at this feature and just loves it. It truly feels like a next gen idea.

You just quoted the Minimum spec. $600 for a 2014 minimum spec. The PS4 is sure as heck going to play it better than that. And you are out to lunch if you think a console remains in stasis over its lifetime or a graphic card that is MINIMUM SPEC now is going to be playing games in 8 years.

$600 for the entire generation? Seriously??? Okay you've lost all credibility here. You can build a system certainly for $600 but it will not game at anything beyond a console level. And your parts are not going to last 8 years of a console generation sorry not going to happen. Your math is miles off. I'm being…

For sure. My first gen-Quad Core PC was built by a shop in 2006 and was about $1,600 all in. Since then I've upgraded the Graphics card 4 times (once forced, the other times by choice), put extra RAM into it and replaced a Hard Drive. All told I'm probably $2,500 into it and as you said that is with the stagnation…

I am not disagreeing with you per se...but again you made my point.

Oh I'm okay for now. I built a future proof system awhile back and upgrade the graphic card every few years.

As has been smartly pointed out by some commentators, these are the minimum specs which will probably get your game chugging along at a medium/medium-high setting if you turn off some bells and whistles.

Without trolling here is the thing: No matter how reasonable Ubisoft sounds on this the ultimate point is the consoles are not equal. Each manufacturer created their console with a specific vision in mind. If one console has the capability to produce higher resolutions more consistently then the creators should be…

Oh I got the point. All those massive sales when Uncharted was released...the huge amount of Madden and Assassin's Creed bundles sold....Oh wait, no they weren't. Sales were lousy. No games were being released and the system was DOA.

So Sony should lay off their brand new system that has sold 10 million+ consoles in under a year for a console that has sold not even half that in the 3 years it has been on the market? They should abandon or slow those exclusives that could truly put them in a dominant position in the next gen console battle to…

I humbly disagree. AAA games on the VITA tend to (with some exceptions) pale in comparison to their counterparts on the PS3 and PS4. These independent games represent solid value for the consumer. Mostly under $20 games that are mostly cross buys and take up limited space on a pricey memory card. Sprinkle in…
