Because at one point, achievements were truly fun and a great little challenge. They were fresh and exciting. But now, they are just getting abusive with it. Arcade games are getting more achievements, retail games are getting more achievements, DLC are getting more achievements. There is no standard anymore, so…

So, wait. Are you agreeing with me or questioning my logic? I'm confused. Because I said I don't care about achievements, but at one point, they were fun because they were fresh and new. However, they have become meaningless. Microsoft took an idea that was interesting, and basically created the modern day high score.…

But how many people literally just got the Halo 4's 2000 achievement points just a couple years ago? Halo 3 had 1750 in achievement points. Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, which also released very recently, had another 1000 points, which means just between these three games (One being a remake), we've got a total…

I haven't cared about achievements/trophies for a very long time, so this kind of announcement just annoys me. Are achievements still that strong of a selling point for people? When Microsoft first started using them, they felt fresh and fun. As more and more games came out, the challenge to increase your score to…

Well, I still advise not to use rest mode until told otherwise. Hope that helps!

PS4 crash. I was just in the main menu looking at the new features, and suddenly, it froze. It did this right after I turned on my PS4 from Rest Mode. I thought it was just a freak accident, but it sounds like it isn't.

Mine crashed once, so it's definitely a possibility. Thankfully, mine rebooted with no problems, but I'm not using rest mode anymore just to be safe.

Exactly! You could not have said that last part any more perfect! It absolutely is narcissistic, and that's the reality of a lot of this sex idolism.

She is super-empowering in so many ways! Her strength, her emotional stability, and even her comfort in her own body show just how wonderfully strong and beautiful she is as a character. I know it can obviously be seen as a symbol of sex for men, but I find her to be a strong female lead that's kind of opposite to…

If you have the money, definitely get a Wii U. I feel like this generation will be similar to last. Having a Wii and PS3 was the perfect amount of variety I needed in gaming. So far, PS4 and Wii U have also been phenomenal, despite the PS4 lacking more exclusives. Surely those exclusives will be coming soon, and I…

The Last of Us is exclusive. hehe. I know what you mean, though. I've been playing my Wii U a lot lately, thanks for exclusives like Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, and of course Mario Kart 8. With Smash Bros around the corner, Wii U is the console to own.

Yeah. Sounds like you just got the shaft. I would get another controller eventually, because I'm telling you, there are good controllers out there. I have two of them. haha.

No. It's quite the opposite, actually. It's developer attackers that absolutely baffle me. What do you think your insults and complaining is going to solve? Do you think you are going to change the face of gaming because of your snide internet comments? It's ridiculous.

But do you realize how hard you might naturally be rubbing on the thumbsticks? Some people hold their controllers very tightly, while others hold very loosely. I can imagine people who hold their controllers tightly also press buttons and the sticks very hard as well. Is this you? Or did you just get a very bad…

I agree. I loved Bulletstorm overall, but it seemed like it tried too hard to be as obscene as possible. Just a lot of childish humor and unnecessary vulgarity. Almost like a 12-year-old boy scripted it.

I'm not saying you're lying. I'm asking if you really play casually, or I'm asking how do you define "casual play"? I'm just really surprised by your thumbsticks peeling. I've played tons of hours on my controllers, and again, they are both perfectly fine.

Don't give me that garbage. Saying Halo is just like Destiny is like saying Mario is just like Kirby. Just because they are similar in nature and gameplay doesn't mean they are the same. Bungie also created Marathon before Halo, and it was a phenomenal sci-fi shooter trilogy. Story-wise, it is still Bungie's best.…

Not necessarily. Halo initially going exclusive was a slap to the face of Mac gamers, since Halo was initially announced and was being made for Mac, as was its predecessor Marathon.

Don't get me wrong, Activision is definitely a part of this, but you can't deny that Bungie is enjoying a little subtle payback. Bungie was pushed by Microsoft, and that's what ultimately led them to leave Microsoft. You can imagine that being pulled from a franchise, lore, and base of characters that you created…

So where would you start? Bungie screwed Microsoft by wanting to make a new IP but Microsoft wouldn't let them? Yeah. Sounds kind of stupid to me.
