Well, that’s you out of tons of Xbox One owners that have been sounding out on forums and such, about how glad they are to have BC. And a lot of friends who don’t own an Xbox One agreed that the announcement at E3 was the biggest thing in their opinion.

And I’m saying there’s a balance. You won’t necessarily have to forfeit BC to have the best hardware and vice versa. It’s just more work and that’s why I think it depends on the console manufacturer. Just ask any Xbox One owner if the current BC endeavour by Microsoft isn’t a big deal to them.

For all the “advancements” in console technology, they still end up being outdated due to the advancements in computing in general. I like BC and I wholly support it’s inclusion in any next generation home console. That’s why I applaud Microsoft’s efforts to bring some level of BC to Xbox One. It can be done. It’s…

Because once consoles shifted to disc based systems, it was easier to implement from a design point of view. It would have been difficult to have SNES or N64 be backwards compatible without compromising design. Also, Nintendo handheld systems have all had BC cos they were/are all cartridge based systems, which, again,…

Good review and thanks for confirming that the combat hasn’t been messed with. Read a review that said the combat was boring so was thinking it had been dumbed down. I’m glad it hasn’t as I loved it in the previous game. I’m glad Lara is still lighting the torch for Action/Adventure/Exploration games. Nathan Drake has…

So I think the time has come to ask a very important question: How important are bugs to the overall review opinion? We are in a time where software development is becoming increasingly complex but I don’t think that excuses a game riddled with bugs. And if a game is “deducted” points for bugs, should a bug-free game…

That guy with the white scarf has the most defined abs I’ve ever seen. Even better than 300. And it’s even more impressive if those pics haven’t been retouched. Man...one day...before I die...I shall have those abs!!!

I’m not too sure about this particular instance, but I believe there is such a thing as “evil”. Just because you can understand something doesn’t mean it can’t be described as evil. Take the holocaust for instance- Hitler had a plan. He believed he was doing the right thing. But I think we can agree that trying to…

Very interesting concept but many games have very interesting concepts. It’s the execution and gameplay that’ll decide whether this is truly a great game or just “another one of them”.

True. But being familair with a platform and OS and understanding “...additional SDK or API usage...” doesn’t guarantee success either. Ask the millions of failed devs on mobile platforms who understand and are familiar with the platform. One of the biggest problems a dev faces is exposure. How do you make a name for…

Yeah I agree. It would be a flop if it’s not made with the platform in mind. Good thing Nintendo is reknown for making games that suit whatever platform they decide to develop for.

Yeah, but you’re comparing a dedicated games device with about 55million install base to a mobile game with more than a billion install base. If animal crossing makes that transition and Nintendo market it right, it could be the next big mobile game.

“Goodwill”? What are you talking about? So now Nintendo earns goodwill by releasing good games? And what about all the other companies that release broken piles of cow dung? What do they get? I’ll tell you: a lot of moaning but still people buy their shit and their games continue to dominate the charts. Nintendo…

This is exactly the reason I respect Nintendo. When they go into something, they usually have a plan and always try to think outside the box. There’s a strong desire for unique content that a lot of people don’t appreciate. How easy would it have been to make a Mario game with shitty touch screen controls and call it…

Didn’t the animation company responsible for this go bust recently? Couldn’t that have been the reason for the abrupt ending?

If you mean all the mediocre visual novels and jrpgs, then yeah, your report is spot on!

Mate, you hit the nail right on it’s head. I’ve been saying this from Day One. Sony didn’t have a plan for the Vita. They thought they’d beef up the PSP, give a 2nd analogue, slap on a touch screen and back touch pad, and sit back and watch the money roll in. Well, we all know how that went.

Mate, you said it exactly like I’ve been saying it. I really don’t understand how this is still an issue for some with the ridiculously low prices of external hard drives and USB sticks. My 500gb ps4 had been full for months so I have to change hard drives. For a WiiU, I reckon a 250gb hard drive would be plenty if…

I don’t understand why this is still somewhat of an issue. If you do download games a lot, then you’ll definitely need more storage. And with the prices of hard drives plummeting all the time, I really don’t understand why this is still being brought up. My ps4 came with a 500gb hard drive but guess what? It’s not…

Can you guys just stop with the whole “Vita is great for remote play” cos it’s only a half truth. Yes, you can remote play on the Vita with little or no lag but there’s just no denying how bad it is for any title that uses L2, R2 and God forbid, L3 and R3. Plus, the analogues on the Vita just don’t do the job in any…
