Microsoft gets entire addons for the games as exclusives for 12 months on multiplatform titles? Do show me a) where that happened and b) where I said that Microsoft never gets any exclusivity. That was never my point. My point is that THIS exclusive is way too big and a giant middle finger to Xbox owners.

A lot of people are saying "Halo wasn't on Playstation, so shut up." That's a stupid argument. We're getting Destiny on both platforms, but one of them gets three times as much chance to play it before launch as well as exclusive DLC (which some say will be significantly-sized content, not the usual 30 minute mission…

We're not talking about a game not showing up on a console. We're talking about the same game coming to both consoles, with free DLC for PS4 owners while the Xbox users sit and wait for the one year timer to expire so they're allowed to play all the extra content.

For me, it's not that Playstation owners get 10 days while Xboxers get 4. It's the fact that this much-hyped "pre-order ASAP to get in" Beta is a farce. This is a stress test at best, and feels wildly over-promised for such a tiny Beta period.

a) This isn't an MMO, it's a co-op shooter with MMO-like elements, but you'll never be seeing hundreds of players on-screen at a time. b) I was referring to gaming in general, not any one genre.

Nice. I was concerned when a date hadn't been named for the Xboxen yet, that we'd end up getting Beta two weeks before launch or something. I've preordered my copy on Xbox One and my son and I are both eager to try it out. We both enjoyed Borderlands, though the meme-centric humour got boring fast, and we've always…

Games very rarely extend beta characters into the live game. There are exceptions, like F2P games with extended open beta periods (in other words, it really launched, but it's too buggy so they want to keep calling it Beta.)

If it's developed with Silverlight, it's a hop skip and a jump to bring it to any DirectX-compliant platform including both Xboxen, Windows Phone and tablets.

I dabble with a lot of indie games, and the think that maddens me about them is the lack of game mechanics. So many times they are purely focused on the art or story or music that the gameplay feels like it was copy/pasted from Generic_Action_Platformer_Sample_Code41.

I found Borderlands 2 boring. After playing the first to death, the second just felt like the same game with different scenery and a few tweaked mechanics. I never even finished the main story, let alone all the DLC I Season Passed. The humour got even more childish, the quest-map system was just as awful as the first…

Releasing a game before it's entertaining can harm word-of-mouth advertising, sometimes cripple it. Now there's already Steam reviews up with hundreds of up-votes blasting the game for how unfinished it is. Between those and the "ate a fish 10/10" posts, future people will turn away from purchasing the game.

That's unfortunate. I enjoyed Murdered, though the asking price is a bit high for a once-through game (apart from achievement-hunters seeking missed collectibles.)

Doesn't help families of 4 gamers. I'm not buying a second console and HDTV and subscription and copy of the game for our house.

So what service will this be available on? Does Yahoo offer a video streaming service of some sort? I'm mainly concerned about regional restrictions... on the internet. Gotta love licensing.

It's witty, sometimes a bit too crazy antics a bunch of life-crisisers get into. Epic pillow fights spanning the campus, paintball wars, and let's not forget the sailing class in the parking lot.

On Xbox One we get people using their Kinect as mics and letting their room full of 8-year-olds play. Luckily it's easy to mute people.

Yeah, the changes the series went through were pretty drastic. 1-3 are all kinda muddled in my head in terms of which had what features, but I loved being able to unlock new Cribs and customize them, having homies engaging in random territory battles you could help with and have always enjoyed calling up henchmen by…

Being able to mod the song it emits, as well as sometimes the dance moves, made it awesomer. I also loved the black hole gun and the alien kidnapper.

I'd say jump straight into 4, then start back at 1-3 later. SR3 and 4 are eerily similar in their map and objectives, but with large portions adjust for the Matrix look and gameplay of SR4.

I've loved every Assassin's Creed, though some to more/less extent than others of course. Alpha Protocol was an amazing game in my books; finally an RPG that GOT IT with the conversations. Not just binary "good or bad" choices. The Bureau was a fun, strategic shooter that may not have been the best XCOM game, but it…
