In a lot of ways, it is.

Some other findings surprised me as well. As I have never done so, I did not expect to find that 55% of respondents had recently pre-ordered a game. Despite how hated retailer exclusive pre-order items are they appear to be working. DLC and season passes are extremely popular, with 51% of gamers buying DLC and 25% of…

I love it. For the $30 I spent on it, it's already been worth it just in the last month or so. Not sure why it doesn't get much love here.

To be honest, other than some low framerate performance issues with the early stage of the game (young Arno), I haven't had that many problems in the 10 hours I've put into it. I just don't see it being as bad as everyone's making it out to be.

My Windows desktop/gaming PC is still to this day named Compy386 on the network.

TLoU is the one that made me step back and say, "Yeah, I really like this controller speaker thing." Then, I finished it and started playing Tomb Raider: DE and immediately turned it off because it was way too much in that game.

It's required to create a low-latency setup for using them as Home Theater components, but just for streaming music for them, it's not as long as your wifi is good.

Yeah, I know. Everyone's a critic. For completeness, it looks like the promo ends on or around Dec 27.

It's not a ton off, but as rarely as Sonos is discounted, you should include the Amazon Sonos deal that is currently running where you get anywhere from $20-50 back via an Amazon gift card. Tempted...

Yeah, nothing terribly exciting here. Almost everything is either completely on parity with or a few bucks more than most of the other retailers' BF deals (Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc). Good luck, GameStop.

That's how checkpoints in Halo coop have always worked. I don't expect they'll change it now.

No, you're not the only one. They definitely need a spin-off series. I would buy a Black Flag 2 in a heartbeat.

I'm probably in the huge minority, but I absolutely hated the Animus gameplay segments in Black Flag (my first dip into the AC world). They were stupid, boring, and I just wanted them to be over so I could get back to pirating. I won't miss them a bit.

Not the only one. It was an interesting idea, but so slow. Plus, I don't have a brother, so the feels didn't really make up for the lack of fun. I did beat it, though, since it was short.

This new format sucks if for no other reason than you can't comment on individual items. For example, I wanted to leave the following comment, but now it will probably just get lost in the Kinja Jumble and nobody will ever see it.

Also, there is no iTunes digital copy included in either of these—it's UV only. That's a little disappointing to me. I've gotten accustomed to buying these combo packs and having the flexibility of watching on disc or via streaming from iCloud. Not anymore, I guess.
