Right, and it seems like Sony is surrounded by quality first party studios that are all working on something amazing. Things that all look like they are pushing the limits of current tech. Things that get people to buy ps4's for. And now Microsoft is going to ditch xbox exclusives and make exclusives available on pc.…

I probably could have used a different word, as abomination is a bit strong. The game is just a sore subject for me. Genuine request: do you have the numbers on the halo 5 player base? I'm extremely curious how it is holding up. I know one of their main goal was to keep people around after what happened with halo 4.…

Sorry for the confusion, my wording on this could have been better I suppose. I'm primarily an xbox player. Bought an xbox one on day one, and I picked up halo 5 on day one. I have countless hours in the other halos, that was my game over the years. Not saying you wouldn't believe me, but you can plug in my gamertag…

Haha, probably, if your playing with randoms. But I will use destiny again as an example, but on a positive note. When you put a great team together it is a great feeling when everything works right. As Hannibal once said, "I love it when a plan comes together." Also, I think the guy probably could have been more…

I retract my poor man comment, as I digress on the hours of fun we had with Chromehounds. I think what I meant by that is that Chromehounds is the less recognized of the two IP’s. I remember reading about them shutting online down. I wonder what the player base was like at it’s highest point. Really hope this gen gets…

Make the weak link walk the plank. At least things don't grind to a halt if someone doesn't know what their doing like it does in a Destiny raid.

I'm looking forward to the day when Microsoft has as many first party studios pumping out content at the quality level that Sony has. I think Sea of Thieves looks really great and I plan on playing it. But it's forever off and other than Forza I can't think of another title that reaches the quality of uncharted, the…

Microsoft really needs some first party studios pumping out the quality stuff like sony does. Their first party games just aren't delivering. Halo 5 was an abomination. I spent $300 just to play uncharted 4. Sure I'm sure I'll play other exclusives on it, but Halo 5 would not have gotten me to purchase an xbox just to…

I think this game looks really great. I am concerned though, because I think I heard Kirk say on the podcast that it was going to cost $40. If it is some kind of free to play garbage I won't give it a second though. I think a Destiny style pirate game from Rare is best case scenario. I want structure and depth, both…

When I saw Timber Wolf I immediately recognized that you are talking about MechWarrior. Really really wish they would bring that series back, the concept is basically perfect for a video game. My friends and I played a game called Chromehounds, basically a poor mans MechWarrior. Probably my fondest memories of the…

Hmmm, was hoping this would be for mobile. Wow. Kindof stunned that I just said that. Haha. But seriously, this was something that I would play ont he go. It would have been the first mobile game I'd ever played, and probably ever would play.

I really enjoyed reading this, about your PC experiences in the 90s. I was born in 90, so that was a decade that I would not have been so knowledgeable about computers. A playstation one that my mom picked up at a garage sale was my first system. I just put games in and played, not knowing or not caring that there was…

For sure, we have been putting up with it for a while now with phones. However, personally, I upgrade my phone once every three years because I don’t care about the new features on the newest models. Gaming console is a different story. I use it for so much more and am much more interested in additional features,…

You seem to be a lot like my soon to be brother inlaw. He is always looking for the best value in everything. This is a great quality, except for when the quality robs you of experiences that you could be having, when there is no reason that you shouldn’t be having them. He is also head pharmacist at a grocery store…

Don't sell your new system. Enjoy it for a year and a half. Then trade it in if and when you want to upgrade. I don't want to pretend to know your situation, and I'm a bit sorry for venting on you at your expense, but after your trade in the cost of entry really shouldn't be that destructive to your finances…

Very reasonable opinion. Two questions. I could totally see this guys argument if Microsoft was announcing a new console out at the end of this year to compete with sony that did not support the whole "console family" plan, and was its own thing. Don't you think that it's a bit easier to swallow with the whole choice…

Ok ok, I'll give the heads of the industry a call and ask them told hold off on advancing the industry until you feel like you've gotten your moneys worth. Then I'll ask them to wait a little bit longer while you save up some money for the latest and greatest, even though they have made it clear that you don't need to…

What you said does not make him entitled.... Between the two of you he seems to have the correct understanding of the word entitled. The day one buyers of the xbox want to whine about the new xbox being announced and cry that they feel slapped in the face by Microsoft. These idiots ignore the fact that when the new…

I would really hate to be you. You are so defensive and think that companies just exist to "change the game" and bleed your wallet dry that you aren't even able to enjoy amazing products. Quit being so fucking frugal and be willing to pay for things that you enjoy. The gaming industry does not work for free, are not…

You sir are a breath of fresh air in the gaming community. For as much enjoyment a person gets out of these consoles, they sure bitch and moan about having to shell out any amount of cash. Compared to a ton of hobbies, gaming really isn’t that expensive. These people post on gaming sites, so I assume gaming is an…
