Yeah, it's pretty sad. It's this type of bullshit that makes people think gamers all live in their parents basement and have never had a girlfriend. Unless you've married your system of choice, you should probably chill out a little on the system wars crap.

Yeah, I love my XB1, but the UI is ass backwards. There was no reason to completely blow up what they had with the 360; they could've easily tailored said UI to fit the XB1's new features.

Yeah, I've been saying this from the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying the game (I'm SL 125), but from the outset I've felt like the game got a free pass. Other franchises get low marks when they fail to innovate/improve on gameplay, and yet it seems like DS2 got 9/10 from most places just for being li…

Yeah, I guess one of my main issues is that I gave myself a reddish beard, and it looks completely insane with the greyish-green pallor of being Hollow (and I'm hollow a LOT).

I don't really see Dark Souls 1 or 2 as that much of a trial. I'll be the first to admit, in the beginning I was pretty disappointed by DS2; it seemed that From had tried their hardest to make the game even tougher on beginners, and I didn't like the idea that if a boss was "too hard," I should ask for help from…

Now if only there was a way to generate a face that made my Hollowed self look a little less ridiculous.

I've been waiting for a boxed set of the newer Marvel movies (like the Tesseract one that came with Sequence 1), so I didn't know this existed. Thanks for the heads up! That changes things a little.

This is actually the MOST important thing to learn if you're doing a build that depends on blocking. You nailed it; learn not to block for no reason and you'll be set for a LOT of the bosses in the game.

I disagree that it cheapens the experience. It really depends on how you want to play the game. If you want to really challenge yourself, you're right, for sure. But if you're someone who likes to be able to do/equip EVERYTHING, you'll need all the souls you can get. For example, I love Havel's stuff, and spent a…

This was my first thought, but I doubt that's 100% of the story. I have a few friends that work in retail, and they've been out of Day One XB1s for months. My guess is that for whatever reason, the D1 edition didn't sell out instantly, so instead of shipping them all out at once, MS has held some back, while selling a…

Watch it, fun doesn't matter. Resolution matters. Single player campaigns matter. Not fun.

I'd go Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, in that order. That's the important part.

Then you clearly don't know what a FACT is. Period.

I honestly forgot Playstation Home even still existed...It's not something I ever used on my PS3, and now I see why.

I don't play CoD, so maybe that's why I'm a little confused, but why are people falling for this crap? And how would playing on PC vs. a console player allow you to trick them into falling into water more easily?

We're probably in pretty similar situations. My parents taught me to be pretty frugal with money, and between them, my grandparents, and the occasional very small scholarship, I was put through school debt-free. The idea of being in debt consequently terrifies me, and under no circumstance would I feel comfortable…

Well, I totally agree with you that there's nothing wrong with buying things that seem a little frivolous; that's the point of making more money than you absolutely have to, in a sense. It has always seemed (to me) that us Americans just have taken consumerism much farther, and, as you've mentioned, have watched it…

I can't speak for everyone else, but the problem in the US is that we want everything NOW. It's the same reason people go to places like Best Buy, and sign up for their credit card; why save for an Xbox, or a computer, or whatever else, when you can just sign up for a shiny new credit card, and throw it on there?

I think the people saying it's stupid are more referring to long term rental. Renting a console for a week or two makes sense. Renting for a few months, getting to the point where the total cost is similar to if you had purchased it, THAT is the stupid part.

Yeah, I would assume that a great deal of their business does indeed come from people too lazy to do any math whatsoever. Also, as others have said, it also comes from the type of person who says, "I can't afford this, but I'd rather have it now, and pay a premium for that convenience, as opposed to waiting until I…
