That's twitch shooter controls. Clicking R3 for melee has a hard sustainability, it's bad for repeated attacks. A click of the stick is good for reflex but bad for deliberate controls (which is why I mapped crouch to L3 in CS:GO)

Buy a ps3.

Haff Rife 3 confirmed!

Well, okay, but it seems to have recovered well, right? Do you think the One will?

The PS3 was fine. and didnt Nintendo have famicom?

On many headsets, there is a mute all button. My PS3 one has it.

The Xbox One Will Reinvigorate YouTube

Well duh, watch dogs is game of basically every show at this point.

Was this 'everyone's' favorite game here at Kotaku? Personally, mind was either The Crew or The Division, mostly because The division came out of freaking nowhere and the crew looks super fun with friends.

You missed a good pun there, haha.

Yeah, I hadn't played many open world games before then, I had been more linear.

Terraria, ACB, or MW2.
